Just a question: for people that do not like gift grub, what amuses you or makes you laugh? Something has to!

Looking at monkeys... now that's comedy gold!

I like gift grub and hope to buy the CD during the coming week. I think Killinascully is very funny, also the Panel and Podge and Rodge. I cannot see anything amusing in The Office but each to their own.

Can't say Gift Grub does anything for me (the one exception being the Mourinho sketches) - most of them drag on so long that any humor in them is very quickly lost.

I prefer FM104 in the morning myself. Much funnier all round I think.

(Incidentially I HATE Killnaskully (Pat Shortt in general). Podge and Rodge (and RTE's other puppets - Zig and Zag, Dustin etc) just come off as ignorant and unfunny to me, and the Panel has it's moments until they bring out the guests).

Gift Grub has outstayed its welcome, its not funny anymore, I change channels now when I hear these guys, they are just annoying now.

You're not alone. I amazed at what passes for 'humour' on breakfast radio these days.

And as someone texted in this morning, is that one group of impersonators knocking off another?

I think Gift Grub is very funny, most of the time. The one character I hated was Liam Lawlor, he had an irratating voice that just went through me. Plastic Sheating, Dobbo, Mary Coughlan and co always crack me up. Did anyone hear Brian Dobson almost say Plastic when introducing Pascal Sheahy on the news one evening? They mentioned it on the radio one morning.

If you don't like Gift Grub then it's very easy to avoid it, just listen to 2FM or some other radio station (or none at all).

And for all the nay sayers, don't forget "Dry your eyes mate", one of the best parodies of all time, and within a day or two of that game aswell.

Dont see how this many people dont like it to be honest
everyone i know loves the show
im a huge fan especially dr bill who is actually voiced by tom dunne believe it or not

Have to say i quite enjoy it myself. Lately i find M & 50 trolls (98fm at 8.20) put a smile on my face. Some of the things they come out with.

Oral Slang · 14-11-2005 12:47PM

I don't really find it funny either..
Used to like FM104 back in the day when Joan used to be on it, but its not really that funny anymore.
Don't like The Panel or Killinascully either & can't understand anyone finding Dara O'Brian remotely funny! I can't abide him..

I agree, Gift Grub ain't funny. But as long as it keep Westlife off the top of the charts then I'm a happy bunny.

Jaysus they are BRUTAL! Couldn't think of their names. Had the misfortune to hear them a couple of times and promised myself never to turn to 98fm again.

Gift Grub is funny more for the accuracy of Rosenstocks impressions rather than the writing. Although he does come up with some hilarious situations now and then.

some of gift is funny, some just wreckes my head... i love plastic sheeting, he's my fave

I have to say that I don't hear GG that often, but i have liked what I've heard (especially the "I like the way I move" by Mr Bill "Renault" Cullen). Podge & Rosge aren't my cup of tea, but I used to love Zig & Zag (anyone else remember them being pulled off air for their rendition of "Old McDonald had a Farm"???). The panel has it's moments, and both Dara O'Brin and Colm Murphy (dat's dem, isn't it?) are both fantastic when you see them doing live stand up. Blizzard of Odd is, to me, Odd! Dustin was a PITA, and Soky a poor replacement for the Z brothers.

All that said, each to their own. None of them would survive if nobody liked them; we just all have different senses of humour.

If we didn't, wouldn't life be dull............
