Irish celebrities you would like to see vanish from the spotlight....

On the new lidl ad, the husband who says at the end that he wants a steak and glass of red wine is a right pain in the hole. Every time I see that scene I want to kick the tv screen in.

I actually went drinking with them one night in Greystones. Hilarious guys, not a hint of celebrity nonsense about them.

I would have paid good money to be out with ye on that night. Anyone who takes on Twink in open combat is OK in my book. Could you ask them to revive Zig and Zag they rocked!!! Ray D'arcy, not so much

Not sure if he's a, celeb, like???

Well not yet anyway, maybe they'll "develop" him now they know he's annoying.

That seems to be the way it works at least.

Ray Darcy and Dr Eva Ormonde together, they should be tied to a rocket aimed for Saturn and shot in to orbit.

Brendan O'Carroll

Did I already mention Jason Byrne?

I'll mention hin now because he's worth mentioning at least twice here.

Mister I am funny, I swear I am.

Thankfully he is only on the new series of Ireland's got Talent, which mainly appeals to children as far as I can gather.

Jason Byrne, his popularity truly is a head scratcher. The most unfunny comedian I have ever heard yet he can sell out Vicar St. WHY ??? Pulls funny faces, talked strangly, exaggerates everything, pisses himself laughing at his own routine harder then anyone in the audience yet he has heard all this 600 times before he delivers it on stage live.... it’s just weird !

Was on with Ray D'Arcy on Friday afternoon and it was car crash stuff. Him trying to be "funny" and D'Arcy trying to give him stuff to be funny about. Toe curling nonsense from both.

Tools. And folk lap it up.

Seen him go Into an off licence in clontarf last week.

That's like something you'd hear on Joe Duffy.

Sad to see Pat's name on this thread . He had tallent in acting and the arts . Even if his poetry was not to everyone's likking.

Pat would write something like .

I hate the people famous for fake tan
The accents the pouting , the Instagram
These people have lost it, not one of us
If you want to be real - join us on the bus

I'm joking - but something like that.

FYP

I think some of the Instagram influencers/models are the worst Irish "celebrities". They post the most fake vacuous photos eg. a natural photo of them posing with a product placement doing a ridiculous fake laugh.

Fake vacuous people, making fake vacuous photos to influence other fake vacuous people. Honestly, one seriously has no brain if they are influenced by them.

I feel for young teenagers trying to emulate these "stars" on Instagram and the pressure that goes with it.

I'm just glad I was teen in the early noughties where selfies were unheard of and didn't have to apply a full face of makeup to feel good about myself.

I'd love if the full feminist movement - would look at some of the females projecting these unhealthy images at my daughter.

They need to look at women too - not just Gillette adds.

Joe Wicks isn't Irish but yeah incredibly annoying. I endured one of his recipe videos once where he shouts like a loon - never again.

Holly Carpenter wins the award for most vacuous Insta celeb.

That is actually a phenomenon. I only realised it recently.

Personally, I believe that the people that are "influenced" by these so-called influencers are feeble minded and are just as bad, if nor worse than these "influencers" themselves.

At least the "successful" influencers are seeing some form of benefit I would assume.

BBFAN · 27-01-2019 10:33pm

I have no idea who at least half of these people are.

I think if you know these so called "celebs" you spend too much time on social media.

I never had much of an opinion on her before apart from being the one from the Saturday's from Thurles. Ever since that rugby lad cheated on her she doesn't seem to go away and part of me thinks he's better off with out her.
I saw her briefly on Virgin Media at around Christmas interviewing somebody and she came across very patronising.
