Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

[Deleted User]

Is there anyone out there that you just don't like and you just can't explain it? Someone who you just can't stand but they've never really done anything to make you feel that way.

For example, I have an irrational dislike of Emma Watson. I've never really seen any of her films or interviews but if I look something up and she's in it, I'm subconsciously voting against it. When she showed up in This Is The End I sighed and I'm not quite sure why. Can't explain it. Feel similarly towards Anne Hathaway.

Who's yours?

I love that old ad, especially the auld wan giving the Frenchwoman an utter filthy look when she tells Enda Oates that he "cooks like a Frenchman"

I think they should make a follow up ad to it. It can be filmed just outside the bedroom that evening and all you can hear are the noises from the bedroom with the French one going "Oooh you ride like a Frenchman", Enda going "Ooh, ooh I'm taking the Horse to France tonight". Then it should show the auld wan in the next bedroom going "He's going to be cummng now, any minnit".

Anyway back on topic, I can't stand that whiney voiced fella that has the show on Newstalk right after Pat Kenny's show.

It felt like they were planning to do a serial kind of advert, like the Anthony Head Coffee adverts, or the Oxo adverts. It definitely ends on a 'there'll be a sequel'. Wonder why that didn't happen?

The ad was filmed in the early 90's when Ireland was just coming out from being under the iron grip of the Church. My own guess is that some religious conservative types, not dissimilar to the auld wan in the ad probably kicked up a stink about the "inappropriate nature" of the ad ie A scarlet French floozy trying to seduce a widower farmer. Such a thing would have still caused outrage among many back then.

I suppose for every major step forward, there's always two or three steps back. I'm sure they were mad that homosexuality was legalized around that time, so any kind of saucy advertising would have gone down like a led zepp.

They could even have kept it tame-jut have it so they fell in love by the third or 4th advert.
Didn't need to show anything 'saucy'.

They’d be shagging with a pack shot of Kerrygold in the foreground and the horse whinnying at the climactic moment.

I'd say he was feeding a hungry horse that night ifyouknowwhatimean!

Barry Keoghan the actor.
He has a bit of a gormless face and seems to always be quite vacant in a lot of roles. I know his face is a bit unique but there's that English actor (if you google "actor with eyebrows" it finds him!) who has much better range with a unique look.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Keoghan is gonna be another of those 'also ran' Irish actors that completely screws things up as an actor.
Same as Jonathan Rhys Meyers, or Stuart Townsend. OR Eamonn Owens, come to think of it.

Rhys Meyers and Townsend are brutal actors. They got there on looks and looks alone. Keoghan has done way better roles than either of them already. In fairness Townsend was up Charlize Theron though.

A series of s***e films, and s***e tv shows.

Studs, The Boys and Girl from County Clare, Perfect Day, Big Bow Wow, Dead Bodies, and St Patrick: The IRish Legend, to name a few.

He peaked very early-showed promise in The butcher boy. It seemed to all evaporate after that.

Townsend wrote and directed Battle in Seattle, and for a time it seemed like he might move behind the camera. I mean, many's a bad actor found they were better directors. Or producers (such as Robert Evans did). So if he'd moved into directing, he could have turned things around.
Unfortunately, he was also an unprofessional idiot-like turning up 6 hours late to a Thor costume fitting, and then getting fired. Plonker.
Keanu Reeves had tons of jokes made about his acting (And tbh, he was often pretty awful in certain movies). The difference being that no matter how hard things got on a film set, he'd keep the spirits up, and nobody came out of the movie badmouthing or firing him. Townsend was acting like he was hollywood royalty. He was dating Theron, but couldn't make a decent movie (even when he managed to convince her to be his co-star, which he did on two or three movies that were crap). He can't even get arrested nowadays.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers...now there's a complete douche. Everytime he got close to being a major player, he'd get plastered drunk, in public, then get filmed saying racial expletives.
He major movies, was in Mission Impossible 3 (the biggest underperformer of the MI franchise)... and oddly, never got invited back for the sequels. (Keep in mind Simon Pegg, and others, made their debuts in the same film. They've been asked back since. I reckon Meyers f***ed up, behind the scenes. Tho you forget he was even in the film, tbh). Folks can say 'his alcoholism messed him up', but Simon Pegg has admitted to having an issue with alcohol-never affected his professionalism.

After The Butcher Boy he was tipped to be the next big irish star. After the flop that was The Big Bow Wow he got very minor roles in Irish movies and tv series, often typecast as a gurning simpleton ie in Studs and The Boys and Girl from County Clare. The last time I saw him in anything it was a very minor role as a thug in Love Hate.

Bobby Kerr has a show on a Saturday but that finishes up at 12. He comes across as a properly nice sort of fella, but his voice really irritates some people.

He was well cast in the Butcher Boy but don't think he had much range as an actor. I'd say what really hobbled his career was being in the Big Bow Wow, that sank the careers of nearly everyone who was in it, it was that bad

Future Proof is the show, Johnathan McCrea is the presenter. I wouldn’t call his voice “whiney” but that’s just me.

Newstalk has a pretty weak morning “schedule” on weekends.

I should point out I wasn’t putting Dr. Kelly “forward” as someone I, personally, can’t stand. I was just looking for clarification as her show follows on from Pat Kenny’s.

I think she’s a very capable radio presenter, however, the “format” of her show lets her down. If I wanted to listen to the opinions of idiots I’d listen to ‘Live Line’ on RTÉ, it’s basically the radio equivalent of Boards.ie so we’re already inundated with these moronic opinions as it is.

McCrea is a good one for this thread IMO. He covers some interesting stuff but I get the impression he's an uppity little bollix. Probably cos of the awfully posh nasally voice.

Not so much "gormless", he has the quintessential skanger head on him

In the next video Andre could turn up unannounced and start flirting with the French one in the kitchen offering to "butter up her spuds" while Enda looks on with envious murder in his eyes. The auld biddy goes "He'll be hitting the Frenchman a box now, any minnit"
