    Agreed! Reminds me of a girl I used know, both equally as annoying and in need of shampoo:rolleyes:

    Hes just not funny,one of these Irish comedians who make a living in the UK cause they just arent funny over here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    Not a fan of him at all.

    I'm more of a Michael Mcintyre fan.

    man his voice goes through my head! when the panel used to be on (don't know if it still is?) he was only slightly below the token bird on the charity-laugh meter

    Don't like him on tv shows like The Panel and Mock The Week but i think his stand up is very funny.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 420 ✭✭tommmy1979


    he's a knob isn't he.. not on the telly as much these days thank god, he must have been found out. Jason Byrne is even worse, the fella that does anonymous.

    He went to my school and when I was in 1st yr he came back to give an interview to the school paper (he was only just getting to be kind of well-known).

    Fast forward like 7 years and he's pretty famous saying in magazines how his school never supported his comedy and hadn't invited him back:mad:


    lying bastard.

    These threads never fail to bore me. OP what have you achieved in your lifetime? Seriously can we stop begrudging people who have achieved a bit of success despite whatever limitations they may have - and concentrate on hating the 18 year old girls who steal drink in night clubs! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Well I like him, can't say I'm bothered whether the OP does or not.

    But thanks for sharing

    I was just watching "Live at The Apollo" on Dave Ch 111 on Sky until Ed arrived on about 5 minutes ago. Immediately switched over. Just checked and he's still on at the moment so you can tune in and see how bad he is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭kinetic


    Just my opinion....seems to be going my way though.

    He's pretty crap alright....I do think he's getting better, although he did start off from an extremely low level of funny.

    Seems harmless and affable enough though. Looks like he's going to spend the rest of his life contributing to one of those '100 Best noughties reality TV show moments' type of programmes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 404 ✭✭Antamojo


    Jason Byrne is the person you should be complaining about.


    Frankie Boyle all the way!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭The guy


    Tommy Tiernan is far worse then Ed Byrne.

    I prefer Frankie this series (Mock the Week) than previously, he's a bit cleaner, and funnier for me.

    Tommy Tiernan used to be funny :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭kinetic


    I went to see tommy a couple of years ago and left after 7 minutes.

    But having said that hes on radio in galway once a week and hes very funny there.

    I saw the thread title and hoped something bad had happened to him...disappointing.

    He's all right, depends to much on shock value really.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 Shane8905


    He once called himself British...**** him.:mad:

    I love Frankie because there's nothing he won't say!

    You're right about Tommy Tiernan, he used to be so funny. Now all he does is shout and curse. :(

    True.maybe he should be in the forum.....jacket 2 sizes too big and smelly tshirt forum?

    I've always thought Frankie was great when he wasn't relying on the 'shock factor'. The famous 'I'm so old my pússy's haunted" about the Queen was funny, but a bit too strong for family viewing :P

    I was watching Tommy's first DVD at a mates the other week, the stuff about his mate Declan doing a marathon with Ethiopians was great.. his new stuff, I mean, duck sex.. wtf?!


    Michael McIntyre's probably my favourite atm, though I know that's a bit cliché :P

    The duck sex thing was the only part of that dvd which i found funny tbh. I mean his impresssion of a duck was uncanny! :p
    Frankie Boyle can go too far, especially that joke he made about Richard Hammond after his crash.
    My favourite comedians would probably be Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey, never seen Michael McIntyre but I'll keep a look out!
    Oops sorry for goin all comedy forum!
