The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

you can't slag off custard cream flavoured anything til you have tried it.

An example of when your daily analysis of the minutiae of the show falls short of giving the benefit of the doubt.

Any reasonable person would understand that anyone who has tasted custard cream biscuits could perfectly validly express a dislike for custard cream marshmallows before tasting them. There's nothing inherent to the marshmallow that would influence the custard cream flavour in any significant way. Einstein could well have had tasting custard cream flavoured confectionary in mind when he allegedly said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.". At some point, you know whether you like custard cream or not, and you don't have to keep on trying it.

I know I sound like a broken record, but there's a surfeit of things one could criticise Tubridy for - a genuine abundance - but expressing a pre-determined dislike for custard cream marshmallows based on previous experience of biscuits of the same flavour is not one of them.

One doesn't need to listen to the full show on a daily basis to arrive at the conclusion Tubridy is completely inept & way way out of his league...

Unless of course each link that posters here have listened to randomly is the one bad apple of a link in an otherwise perfectly delivered radio show by a master of his art.... or maybe he knows one of his critics from Boards is listening and delivers a pi$$ poor link just for the craic, and once he gets word they have tuned out, returns to polished, professional & charismatic output.......

Maybe everyone is randomly listening at the completely wrong time, and everything we don't hear is radio gold worthy of Terry Wogan himself, or Gaybo...

Tubbers is trolling us all.

Response to Gregor Samsa:

My giving Tubridy the benefit of the doubt is in relation to the expectation of professionalism of presentation and relevance of subject content required when presenting on music radio. I am sure your analysis of Einstein's supposed sampling of Custard Creams and how they may have influenced some of his theories or sayings would have intrigued him. And if he dropped any crumbs in the process, I'm sure he would have loved to have been graced with your services as a team leader armed with your Dyson to clean up the mess.

However, that being said with respect to the closing of some of your posts, I for one would never imply or suggest that you sound like a broken record Gregor.

Your mantra is: 'There are so many things one could criticise Tubridy for...' followed by a swift rebuttal of whatever the criticism de jour happens to be. So let's hear some of your criticisms.

I've covered this previously in the thread.

He's making personal messages for birthdays and other events now. He would have looked down his nose at that a year ago. Remember him ridiculing Nigel Farage for charging £100 per personal message, a few years ago.

“Ross has some good connections because he works in PR,” she adds

Sounds like a favour to a mate, or a mate of a mate, rather than the kind of pimping out Farage was doing.

More like the kind of thing Sir Paul McCartney did for Tubridy himself on the last Late Late Show. Common enough amongst celebrities.

Poor aul tubridy....slumming it....

Farage being an established UK Politician has infinitely more connections naturally than Tubridy would ever dream of having.

Whether this is a favour for a mate of a mate, NKM will still have to have taken their cut.

The irony is that neither Piers Morgan nor Tubridy will ever receive much less ever present the REAL Oscars.

There are many things you can desperately attempt to defend Tubridy for but selling his soul to the devil for 150k and then cheaply pimping himself out to record birthday greetings for £100 a time (now that he's no longer on half a mil on the RTE gravy train) is not one of them.

Tubridy sounded out of it today. So much so, he pulled himself up on one of his rambling links and paused to say "aaaargh don't be the stereotype" (like he has been affected by criticism of his nauseating rambling mindless drivel)

In a later "link" he proceeded to dissect music releases which are "maudlin' " or slow covers of popular upbeat songs. And attempted to sing a Beatles song in a slow slit your wrists style. This led to him getting self consciously embarrassed and referring to staff of Virgin Radio staring through the side window of the studio at him. A real Partridge-esque/Toblerone "Lynn" moment.

There are not many skills or talents we can praise Tubs for - but being an entertaining, tight, topical or relevant on-air host on radio is DEFINITELY not one of them.

There's no evidence that Tubridy is recoding birthday greetings for any sum of money. None. That's entirely in your head.

A once off favour to business contacts, with two other titans of the communications world (Morgan and Scaramucci), to spice up an Oscars® party isn't evidence of anything other than being a good sport. Morgan and Tubridy are good pals, maybe he brought the three together. There could be other opportunities in that...

I hate having to point it out repeatedly, I really, really do: but here's a wide variety of things to criticise Tubridy for, and being a good sport at an Oscars® party isn't one of them.

Did you know that crab sticks don't actually contain any crab? Since 1986 manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them 'Crab Flavoured Sticks'.

You've misquoted Partridge. it's 1993, not 1986.

In that case I think they have to be called "Crab Flavour Sticks", not "Crab Flavoured Sticks", as the latter would imply that they were flavoured with crab.

In 1982 the UK Office of Fair Trading took the manufacturer of Hedgehog Flavoured Crisps to court for a breach of the Trades Descriptions Act. The product was renamed to "Hedgehog Flavour Crisps".

The only thing that I would point out and it's really only nitpicking, is that you may have focused too much on displaying the registered symbol R after the Oscars, that you overlooked inserting the second r into 'recoding'. Unless of course Tubridy is some kind of buggy AI program which needs to be updated, for which that would be a total misinterpretation on my part and you may have gotten me again.

A "quick" crossword puzzle that doesn't even look attempted along side an Astrology column. Definitely not the kind of newspaper that one would expect an "intellectual" like Tubridy to read.
