Isnt it time Tommy Tiernan fuc*ed off

i get the impression that he'd like to be viewed as some sort of lenny bruce / bill hicks type. But he isnt in the same league..I find most of his stuff crude and more importantly just not funny..Ive watched him on Letterman twice and of course his routine had to be cleaned up for a national american audience, and it struck me that his routine was just painfully unfunny . Without his shock tactics to rely on he was exposed as a pretty average comedian...

He used to be hilarious and now just has the odd funny thing to say. Don't think I'd bother to go see him again.

And was he ever taking the piss out of people with Downs? When I saw him he was telling a story about how he thought he was being great by using his celebrity status to help people with Downs, only to be mistaken for Mickey Joe Hart. It was funny. Not hilarious, just funny. And his impression of someone with Downs wasn't to insult them or to make fun of them at all. If you know anyone with Downs, you'll know exactly how they behave and Tiernan had it down to a T.

I don't see what all the fuss was about. I don't understand why simply ignoring him is not an option for some of you. There's plenty of people I'm not keen on and if I kept freaking out like some of you, everytime I saw them, I'd of had a heart attack years ago. Just move on with you lives, he's not worth it.

my mom was dying of motor neurone disease, she is dead now

but she was dying and he made a joke about the condition at a show

my sister was there and walked out

i don't like people like him

Like most Irish people I enjoy the craic and a joke like everybody. However I cant see anything funny about this unfunny navan plonker making fun out of the most vulnerable people in society and mimicking them. What kind of a washed up comic do you have to be when you resort to that crap. Look at all the top comedians throughout the world, they dont need to take the pis* out of people with physical or mental difficulties. I heard of a gig he did at the cats laughs festival and half of the audience walked out when he did his joke about handicapped people. he was original and funny years ago, he just seems desperate and sad now

I don't think he's that funny at all. But thats not because he makes fun of the most vulnerable people in society blah blah

He was never original and funny, he shouted a lot and told a few jokes and for some reason Ireland latched on

Ad for his DVD just on RTE. Consisted of a voiceover saying it is "mad" and "hilarious" and then Tommy doing one of his stupid shrieks at the top of his voice. Eh, yeah, looks great Tommy, keep up the....eh, good work.

He isn't funny and he shouts too much
