The only decent programme on RTE.

Rud · 14-04-2012 12:00AM

The Barman is easily the best character in the programme QWAAAAAAARRRRREEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The Savage Eye is quite funny but he just doesnt come across as funny in interviews for some reason.

Well I wouldn't expect comedians like them to be funny in interviews because they are a act at mimicking and exaggerating people and things. David walliams and matt lucas is quite serious in interviews too.

EmatoelDiablo · 14-04-2012 12:07AM

Childsnatching Priests is probably one of the funniest intros to a scene ever!

Mimicking people and things like the way they go on.

Yeah but he tries to be funny in interviews.

Bit of a Marmite show.
I like, but the masses hate it...

Gummy Panda · 14-04-2012 12:12AM

OP could be McSavage.

Where is Degsy when you need him?

MistyCheese · 14-04-2012 12:12AM

A fan thread for David McSavage?!

I'm getting the popcorn out for Degsys arrival.

Permabanned from AH.

McSavage is safe. For now.

Its fairly on the ball with Irish society, as far as comedy goes anyway. class episode two about the civil service and politicians....Thick and clever in equal measure.....

Badhb · 14-04-2012 12:16AM

He is very talented OP.
This country is in bad need of some decent satire. He is not of the edge of the satire badly needed. Hopefully that will come with time.

Savage Eye only scratches the surface, but still he is improving, he has an incredible talent for mimicry and it is such a relief to see there is something still on the national airwaves that is prepared to take the pish out if its own.

The president for life thing is beginning to bore me, but the bog fiend of the ancient Hector was feckin priceless, mick the bull, in small doses mind you, is a classic, the norn irish sit com stuff does not work, but the song/sketch stuff like for the consultants/ amadeus and civil service workers/ fillin' in a form stuff are absolute gold.

I did not like Savage's abuse of random passersbys on the street during the years I saw him busking in Temple Bar, but have to say he does a mean transformation from obnoxious money maker Baggot Street sandwich buyer to greasy tracksuit underclass.

Still reckon he has a touch of misogyny about him. What is his problem with Irish women called Emer?, and is that a whiff of his drinking problem that he projects onto Irish women?

Nonetheless, he has a talent and a gift. Good for him.

teaandtoast · 14-04-2012 12:17AM

Dylan Moran is very very funny too. I think a good lot of Irish people don't find mimicking kind of comedy funny that's why they don't like it.

az2wp0sye65487 · 14-04-2012 12:19AM

I wouldn't be a fan of his comedy at all. Dont like any of his 'stand up' (aka busking) stuff. Didn't like the last series of Savage Eye either....

But he seems to be doing a lot better with this series. Funny stuff! Seems to have gotten it right this time round!

I love it personally.

BlitzKrieg · 14-04-2012 12:24AM

isnt he a dick?

Agricola · 14-04-2012 12:28AM

McSavage either is a real life oddball, or he does a masterful impression of one in interviews. I think the fact that he isnt the quintessential lovable Irish rogue (aka Tommy Tiernan) means the masses just dont take to him. He seems aloof and up his own arse. But the Savage eye is very funny. I actually Lol'd at something in it last week while sitting alone in my front room. And I know when I LOL at something, it is fúcking gold.

krudler · 14-04-2012 12:30AM

I'm not a fan of him as a standup, but The Savage Eye is hands down the best thing RTE have made in YEARS

DEFTLEFTHAND · 14-04-2012 12:30AM

I find it very hit and miss.

superstoner90 · 14-04-2012 12:33AM

Whats the story with the buck in the bird cage?

I never saw david mc savage in interviews. what way does he go on that make you think he is odd?

14-04-2012 12:34AM

Usen't be a big fan of him (partially as a result of the negative opinons of the masses here) but I have to say, this is Irish politics summed up beautifully in 14 seconds:
