David McSavage

What do people think of him? I don't really find him that funny, I think he's very crude and goes way over the top. He seems quite egotistical and bitter aswell. I think a comedian can be funny without having to push things as far as he does.

Why did they end the savage eye?
Ratings dropped or it ran its course?

he had 2 strong series and because it did well RTE forced a 3rd and they fell out apparently

I thought he is good.

He's probably liable to go Michael Richards/Kramer , so too risky for many to take on.

that's silly talk

many people like mcsavage.

in fact some of the complaints i've read seem to be people taking his "character" at face value

The Savage Eye had some very good bits, probably one of the best shows by an Irish comedian produced in Ireland. Can completely understand why people don’t take to him though, he’s hit and miss at times.

McSavage’s investigation on Instagram into trying to find the Butter Nutter who is terrorising the canal benches (smearing butter and bananas on them) near Portabello is funny.

It is actually a true story.

Found a you tube link to the butter nutter

His Dublin City Centre Junkie is spot on

Even the dog on the street knows who the Butter Nutter is at this stage.

He is just barking up the wrong tree.

He's done well for himself with the Scientology and everything, but I wouldn't find him particularly funny.

Tub's cousin and Barry Andrews brother I think, wonder where he'd be if he wasn't born with the silver tea set up his arse / well connected

I wonder the same about Tubs.

McSavage seems to have tons more talent but with some demons as well. Maybe what makes him so funny.

Ashbourne hoop

Got free tickets to a Vicar St gig a few years ago. Wasn't funny at all. I have quite a dark sense of humour, love Jim Jeffries and Frankie Boyle, but McSavage went way beyond them, and the "jokes" weren't funny either.

Couldn't bring myself to watch the Savage Eye because he was in it.

Netflix could just buy the Savage Eye off RTE like they did with The Hardy. Bucks and see if it gets any interest with foreign markets, I could see it doing well in the UK and Australia not so sure about North America

Nah, it's too Irish. No-one who isn't from here would get the characters. Try explaining the Joe Duffy skit to a Yank with no context.

It's not that, he can be absolute ****e when he doesn't have a team around him telling him what works and doesn't. The Savage Eye was brilliant because there was a director and a team of editors to knock off the edges of his jokes and ideas.

That's why his stand-up is so hit and miss.

Spot on. John Colleary did a lot of writing on the show. Why McSavage stand up is hit and miss and the show was much more even and better.

Wouldnt be familiar with Dave Chapelle. Havent seen his stuff yet. Gervais is an interesting one. There is stuff in the Office or Extras that is far worse than some of the stuff that Netflix, Apple, etc pulled (and its not even that bad in my view) but i reckon the reason he surived the cull is because they dont want to upset him while After Life is doing well.

You have the right to take offence and be offended. Anything you are offended by can be used to further offend you . You have the right to talk to anyone for advice before we ask you any questions about who you are offending or indeed are being offended by. You have the right to have anyone with you during the time you are being or becoming offended, they also have the right to become and or remain offended at that time. If you cannot take offence, we will continue to offend you if you wish. If you decide to take offence now without anyone present, you have the right to stop being offended at any time.

If we are not offending you at that point please feel free to let us know and we will do our upmost to offend you more.

He's given a show because they know it will make money. He has a track record of big hits.
The same goes for Chappelle.

Cancel culture won't affect them because they have already made it.

It's the comedians starting off that are vulnerable to cancel culture, because nobody will take a punt on an unknown who has Twitter piling on them because of a joke they made that offended someone somewhere.

The chilling effect this will have on comedy is obvious. In fact it's already here for years.

Anyone pointing to the likes of Gervais or Chappelle getting greenlit as evidence that cancel culture doesn't exist is talking out their hoop.

I think you're talking out your own hoop. Of course cancel culture can affect established comedians, do you think it hasnt affected Kevin Hart or wont affect Ellen?

No one is saying cancel culture doesnt exist.

Kevin Hart was canceled (By the way, I hate that term) for a homophobic tweet. Which he later admitted was wrong.

Ellen is in trouble for backstage bullying.

Louie CK for being a sex pest.

None of this has anything to do with comedy. No one is being canceled due to jokes.

If you want to talk cancel culture, there is a comedian in Ireland who called out Racist and sexist behavior by a person in power in the Irish comedy and guess who got in trouble?

That's right the person who called him out, even do there was video evidence to back out what he was saying.

There's nothing wrong with cancelling a public figure for problematic tweets and views.

Looking forward to the first comedian who massively rips the piss out of cancel culture. It needs to be done. For everyones' sake, jokes get lonely without a brunt.

jface187

The point I was trying to make, is people keep saying comedy is being canceled.
When it's not, it's people's actions that are the issue.

Were creating this narrative "Can't say anything anymore" when people are being canceled for their behavior and not their content. No one can point to people's jokes being the problem.

I blame BLM on Bob Marley. Had he got the finger out and toured America he would have solved the whole issue years ago. We would be done with it now.
