Irelands most insufferable double acts.

Hangdogroad

The Happy Pear twins backlash has thrown light on the phenomenon of Irelands joined at the hip Tweedledum and Tweedledee gobshites.

Top of the list has to be Daly and Wallace. Not only insufferable but morally bankrupt.

The opinion that those twins are insufferable has been widespread for years now. I don’t know if they deserve if, I don’t know much about them. Most people I hear talking about them is in a negative way.

The two johnnies are insufferable on the television. I like them and their podcast but they just seem unnatural on television. I think it is because they are trying too hard to be mainstream. I think they would be better doing later shows where they can take much more risks.

Jedward surely.

Leo and MM...

Jedward are national treasures!

Their X-Factor performance of “Oops, I did it again” deserves to be on display in the National Gallery.

Double acts on the radio are generally insufferable

They have grown on me I have to say not as dumb as they look

Mike ‘Scarecrow’ Wallis and Claire Daily. This pair deserve their own thread.

Not sure they are still “active” but The Robberbandits. They wear plastic bags on their heads for some reason.

Mary Lou and Michelle are another obvious pair of candidates.

Jedward when they got ‘woke’. No one gives a **** what you think, lads.

L1011

Danny and Michael Healey Rae

El Gato De Negocios

The happy pear fcukers are easily top of the list but I would have O'Driscoll and Huberman as second. They really grind my gears.

osarusan

Those two annoying wans that do that thing.

whisky_galore

Cha and Miah, unfunny auld gits.

Hangdogroad

Gemma O Doherty and John Waters, bad enough individually, as a duo they're worse than Wallace/Daly but thankfully not as influential.

I remember, back in 2002 or 2003, Ryan Tubridy and the sports presenter (I think it was Shane O'Donoghue) on the Full Irish on 2FM had a really funny double-act thing going on. Although I think it worked well because it was only for around 10 minutes every morning. Less is more.

Ryan Tubridy and his ego.

To be fair to him, a big ego is one thing that he really doesn't suffer from - or at least has the decency to hide. Whatever about his presenting, he's actually a really nice person.

In fairness he was only 16 at the time - that was adolescent enthusiasm - Donna was only 21. I don’t think they were the worse singers we’ve sent - but please no more riverdance impressions at Eurovision, enough already

June Rogers, Sil Fox and Brendan Savage on Joe Duffy’s Friday Funny’s. Not one bit funny, let the young people have a go instead of dragging out these OAPs

Tbh I'm not up on "The Happy Pear" other than I've occasionally seen cringeworthy snippets of them in action.

Whats the backlash?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118996632#Comment_118996632

They gave fake medical advice, claiming that eating mushrooms would reduce the risk of breast cancer and some other dubious medical claims that they are not qualified to make.

(Plus they are tossers.)

Not really sure how Foster and Allen made your list as they are not exactly splashed all over our screens. They came across really well on an episode of Tommy Tiernan's show.
