    Its great to see an Irish person doing well for them self and the usual Irish begrudger following.

    I don't care where anyone is from. It's based on merit, or the sheer jawdropping lack of it, that was an utter abomination.

    I think you're in the wrong place buddy. This is all about a laugh and a p!sstake. We take a pop at everyone

    Keith Barry?
    Didn't he make an entire telecom company disappear?
    Now that's magic!

    Shocking, Ryan is not cut out for interviewing and dealing with live tv, he cranks up the cringe factor every time. The way he ran back to his desk without so much as a comment about the weird mind reading rubbish.

    In fairness that "act" performed by Barry at the end was pure shoite.

    You didn't actually think it was any good, did you?

    It's left most of us on here scratching our heads. Most bizaare - maybe you can explain the "trick" to us????

    The funniest bit was when Keith said that his hand was actually shaking. Of course it's shaking Keith, you were whacked in the face with a lot of force

    It really was awful. I don't especially mind Keith Barry but are people actually expected to applaud that sort of crap just because he's an Irish guy thrifting a few bob.. feck that for a game of toy soldiers.

    Different strokes for different folks,just because you didnt like it,it doesnt mean everyone did.

    But your argument seems to be that we must like it because he is Irish :confused:

    If we don't like it we are just begrudgers or some rubbish...

    How about we don't like it because it is just cr@p. Irish or not.

    :confused:

    Could you please explain the whole trick to me?

    What was it all about? Did what was suposed to happen actually happen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Yes i did.

    True,i dont have an argument,its an opinion and everyone has an opinion etc....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,723 ✭✭✭✭Ally Dick


    It was actually funnier than when Alan Partridge accidentally shot Sir Peregrine with one of his pistol collection, and that's saying something. That whack across the face that Keith hadn't factored in will go down in Irish legend. I agree with Mr Bacon that it was enjoyable. It was wonderful car crash tv.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    I'm curious to see what is being said on his facebook fan page but I haven't been able to bring myself to 'like' it in order to view it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Different strokes for different folks,just because you didnt like it,it doesnt mean everyone did.

    Yeah.. that's fair enough. I just hate when the begrudgery word is used as a shillelagh to beat anyone who doesn't find things entertaining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,068 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    If Keith Barry wasn't on tonight's show then it would have gone down as the worst LLS in recent memory. But his utter awfulness and the confusion of wtf was going on made it classic car crash tv.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,873 ✭✭✭Skid


    YES it is. And not one to take the piss out of.:mad:

    On reflection, I'd agree with you.

    I've deleted my previous post.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭Chris P. Bacon


    Look yes i do agree that it wasnt his best performance,and yes maybe i do like him because he is from the same street as me,whats wrong with supporting your own?,he is not doing any harm he is doing what he always wanted to do,Keith started doing magic in a restaurant in Waterford in his teens,it was a dream he had to be a magician and he became one.

    Ok he might not to be to everybodys liking but so what,but he is out there making a name for himself,and fairplay to him,he wanted to be someone when he was child and now he is.He is living his dream so good luck to him.

    95% of his facebook page fans seem to think it was amazing, lol.

    I'm still a little unsure about what the trick actually was.. all he did was describe his accident, close his eyes & yell 'your granny'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    That Keith Barry "performance" was embarrassing to say the least.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,256 ✭✭✭closeline


    Dont see how ye think it was a fix. Do ye not think it is magic. If all his things were a fix he would be nowhere now.

    Jeez I hope it wasn't a fix. Becuase whatever was "fixed" didn't really work.

    Can you explain the "trick" or the "magic"?

    I have the same fondness for him you have for the same reason-being from the Deise but to-night's performance was pretty bad tbh. I like others here was left scratching my head in bemusement thinking wtf is going on.
    I've seen him be a lot better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,723 ✭✭✭✭Ally Dick


    The unplanned whacks across the face that he got made it one of the funniest Late Late episodes ever. It's the best I've seen since Rhys Ifan's comments

    It was wonderful. Ifans is the successor to the likes of Oliver Reed, who livened up television with his antics before he sadly passed away. I love hellraisers :)

    Agreed.

    And the interview will go down with infamy on here due to the DLB moniker :D

    Agree with you on that. It made for great TV and I love seeing Tubs squirm. :D bet he won't be invited back in a hurry though.

    Basq is going to be sorry he missed this thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 879 ✭✭✭JohnFalstaff


    I know the weekly Late Late Show thread has become a big draw for many posters but there seems to be an inordinate amount of contributors posting purely to make derogatory comments about the guests.

    On other occasions I might not have felt this as keenly but tonight I couldn't help but be affected by the comments directed at people with whom I am friends. The undercurrent of casual homophobia running through many of the comments posted whilst Barry Dignam and Hugh Walsh were onscreen made me sad. Similarly the comments directed towards Frances Black, a recovering alcoholic, were callous in the extreme.

    I don't want to pick out any posts in particular - it's more the tone of the whole thread that leaves such a bad taste in the mouth and it seems to be getting worse every week.

    Maybe Frances Black is fair game as she is a minor celebrity and has spent much of her life in the public eye but the levels of abuse accepted in the Late Late thread seem out of kilter with other threads in the Television Forum.

    You will find that some of us on the thread tonight were very happy to see a couple like Barry Dignam and Hugh Walsh on LLS, a couple who are clearly very much in love. I for one sincerely wish them well.

    .

    I think it is unfair to say this.

    IMO the majority of posters were positive about the two fellas.

    There may have been the few muppets yes. Unfortunately you get this in life everywhere not just here on a Friday night.

    I am going to read back to see specifically the homophobic comments versus the supportive comments versus the comments that did not make any reference to their sexuality.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,873 ✭✭✭Skid


    For what it's worth, Keith Barry just tweeted ...
    My slot was cut short and rushed but did my best. For the skeptics who think it's fake get to a live show and decide for yourselves
