    The electroconvulsive therapy must really have done the trick so as he was always a very angry man previously.

    Mixed feelings about him. Can be very funny but there's always been an undercurrent of snobbery and cruelty running through his act.

    Savage has a unique style and dares to be different.

    Fair **** to him , some of the skits are hilarious. He isnt afraid to lampoon conservative Ireland.

    Maybe he could do a decent youtube show to get his stuff out there. He probably needs a few strong collaborators to be more successful though and less repetitive and in your face all the time. Balance.

    Anyway its clear hes a smart fella and cluld have done well in other professions, gotta respect him for following his own path.

    As above poster said he can be very cutting but that is what you need, so many irish comedians are soft like jelly.

    He’s just a fooking oddball. Not remotely funny.

    The Savage Eye is one of the best things ever broadcast on RTE. Seems to be gone from the RTE Player though, is it now being disowned because someone might get offended. Still plenty of clips on YouTube though e.g.

    Savage Eye was brilliant. One of only a few RTE comedy productions you wouldn't be embarrassed to show people from other countries.

    Savage eye is the best comedy show RTE have produced, love stumbling upon the old clips. He was spot on with all his sketches and were proper funny.

    The catholic church sketch when he's the bishops and grabbing the kid of its parents, in tears.

    The best one was the father and son in the art gallery, looking at a painting. Suddenly the father notices that the child is missing and appears to be trapped, crying, in the painting of the priest on the wall behind.
