Is Brendan O'Carroll funny?

Agent Orange

It seems this scrotum-faced Dub pav has another video out. Personally, I would rather have a nail shoved into my jap's eye than watch that rat-faced scumbag trying to be funny.
But there seems to be an audience for his 'humour'. His last video outsold a 'The Office' DVD that was released around the same time. Indeed, I am certain his new video will sell bucketloads.

So cast your vote. If you find Brendan funny, tell us why. If you don't, tell us how you'd like to see him die.

ive been thinking about this too lately... used to have an old video of his, when he played somewhere in cork.. and I loved it when I was younger. I watched it the weekend before last and... I dunno.

somehow.. the magic is gone

(edit)

I voted child abuse.. but I find child abuse pretty funny sometimes.

You know, I saw this thread and thought "what a bloody waste of a thread". Then I read Agent Oranges description of Brendan O Carroll, and I decided that this is the greatest thread ever.. ever.

No. I went to see one of his shows once and there wasn't one iota of original material there. I was muttering "billy connolly" and "chubby brown" and suchlike to myself the whole way through. It was tortuous.

I try to see the good points in everyone. Not him though, he makes my blood boil. I can't understand how people find him funny

Tommy Vercetti

it's oul one comedy isn't it....kinda like the Daniel O Donnell of funnymen.

And he's totally crap at acting in Max and Paddy's Road To Nowhere.

glynf

Got free tickets for his show years ago. 1.5 hrs. long, and I laughed twice.
He should be shot to death with his own **** from a blunderbus.

Ro: maaan!

Now I wouldn't want to badmouth child abuse...

wheres the option for "he was funny maybe 10-15 years ago."

I was hoarse at the end of the night!

Has he changed his routine since ?

woosaysdan

Occidental

He holds a place in my heart next to the one held by Twink.

Interceptor

He is so not funny its ehm, just ehm, not funny. Got free tickets to a Mrs Brown Sucks Ass show a few years back and left in the middle of the first act, I actually sprained my cringe muscle.

ShiverinEskimo

i chose neither.

I laughed at some of his early stuff. When he spoke about his trips to the UK and the US. But he just repeats and repeats. He's lost it for me. He was decent in the Van though..I always laugh at the way he said "What about a mister whippy?"

ClareBear

He annoys me.

A lot.

:mad:

Spalk0

He was funny when i was much younger, but not any more!

that was kinda my point.

I loved the "How's yer snowballs" tape when i had it years ago, but otherwise he's pretty weak. As for the Mrs Brown character, well the less said about that the better, except maybe comedy vortex and arse puckeringly unfunny in overdrive.

Actually, I think it's quite a reasonable approach.

That show was soooooo bad.
He can't act for sh**e in the videos.
Some of his stuff is funny.

azezil

Havn't seen the videos but went to see him live a couple of years ago, my face was sore from laughing so much!

Found him a lot funnier than Pat Short who i went to see the following year.

Sleepy

Brendan O' Carroll was funny when I was in secondary school. Then I grew up and realised that he's nothing but a rascist, homophobic, second-rate hack who plagiarises most of his material. And that's still my opinion of him tbh.

Dr. Dre

O'Carroll = Asshat

'nuff said

Superman

ah he's not freat, should of definitely took his 15 min of fame and called it a day, although I do like his one about black babies:
"You know when I was young I was told at mass to give money to help the black babies in africa, I never thought they'd come all the way over and thank me for it!"

That's definitly a jem

Hate the guy, always have, always will.

He steals most of his material, and makes the stuff he steals un-funny too.

How would I like to see him die?

Well, someone should rip out his vocal chords so he stops talking so much crap, then he might bleed to death, or choke on his blood, or die because he can't breathe through is ripped throat.

SantaHoe

Haven't seen or heard any of his stuff in over 10 years, I can't remember anything about it... which, if this thread is anything to go by, is probably a good thing

Well he knows his audience. That "joke" is probably stolen from the ventriloquist Ray Allen's dummy Lord Charles.

SprostonGreen

Dont like him anymore, but I have to say I detest Brendan Grace with a passion, always have.

nlgbbbblth

I hate him

He is scum.

He should be strangled and then have his breasts slashed open - like the Yorkshire Ripper's first victim back in October 1975

DublinWriter

No. Pass the peanuts.

He's officially been unfunny since 1989 which explains why the Late Late trot him out as a guest every two weeks when someone drops out.

:rolleyes: just reading this thread, and from downstairs i heard a voice on the tv, it couldnt be....yes it was him on the late late :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Mr.Nice Guy

You'd get more laughs watching Bambi than you would this guy.....

therecklessone

Considering the competition was Niall Tobin and Brendan Grace, its no surprise that people on here think he was funny when they were young.

He's a boll*x though, and an unfunny one at that. Saw him on last night's Late Late, saw him recycle two jokes made famous by other comedians and thought "why is that cnut still making a living out of this?"

I hated "Bottler", wasn't that the character he was?

He was right good in Father Ted though.

Think it's a Dublin thing myself. In the same way that only culchies find the horrifically unfunny Pat Shortt humourous, only Dubs think O'Carroll's funny.

I must be one mixed up fool so.

As I have said, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than listen to O'Carroll, but I actually find Shortt mildly amusing.

Have a look at my location tag.

He's supposed to be funny??

elivsvonchiaing

Have to agree Pat Shortt is mildly amusing. Brendan O'Carroll is a comic rip-off!

Yeah I agree there, I was watiching him on the late late last night, he was using old material which was mostly Billy Connolly's.

But I have seen him and his shows in the past (Mrs Brown) and taught over all they where funny.

He was in Dunnes in the Square (Tallaght) today promoting his new DVD, I think.

Sarky

Brendan Who?

I seem to have been able to avoid this alleged travesty of an excuse for a comedian completely...

Blisterman

Who promotes a DVD in a supermarket?

Interceptor

Someone who sells a lot of DVD's in a supermarket. In 'Marketing speak' its called knowing your audience. 'Ah here luv, your piles will fall ou' carryin' tha' heavy shoppin', buy me video ah go on' etc etc until someone pops a cap in his ass. Anyone?

I'd like to put both b.o.c. AND pat short into a tied binliner and then proceed to kick seven kinds of **** out of it.

Now that's a plan I can get behind, throw Twink in that binliner and you could sell tickets.

He was on the ray d'arcy show this morning (at the moment actually). He's such a nob!!!!

He shouldn't be allowed on public tv or radio. I have toenail clippings that can tell a funnier story than that f**ker. Seriously how can anyone think he is funny.

Arrrrrgggghhhhhhh!

DirtyDog

He's about as funny as syphilis...
