Is Brendan O'Carroll funny?

Agent Orange · 09-12-2004 11:15PM #1

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 · 10-12-2004 01:22AM

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.

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.

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

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

Xterminator · 10-12-2004 10:49AM

Well i went to Mrs Brown rides again, last year and it was very good.
I was hoarse at the end of the night!

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

Interceptor · 10-12-2004 11:31AM

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 · 10-12-2004 11:49AM

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 · 10-12-2004 12:01PM

He annoys me.

A lot.

:mad:

Spalk0 · 10-12-2004 12:03PM

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

that was kinda my point.

Zoton · 10-12-2004 12:38PM

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 · 10-12-2004 01:28PM

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 · 10-12-2004 01:47PM

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 · 10-12-2004 02:33PM

O'Carroll = Asshat

'nuff said

Superman · 10-12-2004 04:37PM

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

_blank_ · 10-12-2004 05:30PM

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 · 10-12-2004 05:48PM

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
