People can criticize his comedy all they want. I'm not a fan of it myself.

But the one thing we can't criticize is where this man's heart is. He's always been outspoken about how SVP helped out his family growing up, it's awesome to see him giving back all that help in spades.

It's the least he could do for inflicting us with that show that makes Last of the Summer Wine look funny.

I wonder will the lads from the Zuckerberg thread be along shortly, asking the vital questions like.. "how many turkeys has he got for himself?", and "sure he's not exactly on the breadline is he"

At least some good has come from the shows earnings.

Has any interviewer asked him about the glasses on his head thing? I'd say even Chris Eubank with his fake monocle would be thinking "WTF is that eejit at"

Brendan has made substantial donations to SVP over the last few years, especially at Christmas which has helped thousands of Irish people who are in need.
Well done and fair play to him.

Good on him, now can U2 share too

If he was sincere he wouldn't be publicizing the gesture, more ego than good heart on his part.

Fair play to him, a lovely gesture.

It's SVDP doing the publicising, not him.

Besides, it might inspire others to do similar, so what's the harm in it.

jimgoose

Very nice of him. Good on the guy. :cool:

The_Valeyard

Not my humour at all.

But

Fair play, making millions and loves what he does. We should all be so lucky.

Not his biggest fan but doesnt bother me either.
A man on Joe duffy show a year or 2 ago got in trouble with a money lender and was in fear for his life and Brendan O'Carroll paid his loan back in full.
He didnt come on the show to gloat or wait on the praise
I think he knows what its like to live in hard times and has not forgotten his roots.
I admire him for what he's doing

I wonder how much the makers of Last of the Summer Wine are donating to charity?

I can't stand Mrs Browns Boys, but a good deed is a good deed.

He always reminded me of Robbie Walsh the bodhran player.

Fair play Brendan but from what i have observed most of the SVP clients I know deserve and need nothing this Christmas

PR stunt by a shifty no talent to offset a possible future tax conviction?

Didn't Saint Liam Lawlor also pull stunts like this?

ClovenHoof

How much of that SVdeP money goes to CEOs, priests and nuns?

Given how much charitable work he does, he must be a real scumbag... give over

SAMTALK

People amaze me. Someone does a good act and of course there has to be something in it for them. Sometimes people are just nice ...
Pity a few more werent like him to be honest

Not at all. Do you think he needs the publicity ? What a boneheaded pig ignorant statement to make seriously.

The fact that SDVP have made it public serves to not give publicity to Brendan O'Carroll but to the awful situation facing so many families around Christmas time. Thus encouraging people to help also and take Brendan's lead. Sure he is well off and can do a lot and he is and has done but if we all chipped in as well even a little bit it would help also a great deal. I'd like to think the cynics in this thread wouldn't ever need a dig out at Christmas or any other time.. however if they did I'm sure they would be changing their tune to one of gratefulness rather then the bitterness.

Why do people always bring up U2?

How do you know how much or little they give to charity?

The best way is done silently and anonymously as well.

I think the only simpletons around here are people who cannot distinguish someones comedy career and their liking or disliking thereof, from a genuine decent act on behalf of the person which will HELP a lot of people out at Christmas.

They are turkey and Ham vouchers, but you're right every priest and nun will have 10 turkeys each this christmas and the CEO will build a new house for themselves made of Turkey and Ham with a gravy motte around it

Dunno about simpletons but some are complete arseholes alright.

Absoutely hate his comedy, but know his family. An absolute gent who hasn't forgot where he came from (Finglas) and what his Ma (Maureen) taught him.

The Labour Party could do a lot worse than resurrect a few of her principles.

MilesMorales1

Fair play to him.

AllGunsBlazing

Good on him.
