    C'mon... Tommy is definantly deserving of Legend status!!
    "Three year olds: they could rule the world if they didn't get so easily distracted."
    "Say 'Hello' To The Badger... Look him in the eyes, look him in the eyes!"
    Or a quote from when he did a show at Sligo IT:
    Some guy: Do you still keep in touch with Jordan (after incident on Eamon Dunphy)?
    Tommy: Yeah.. we send letters to each other...... last week, i sent her the letter 'B'..
    [slight pause]
    Tommy: ".. she sent it back with nipples drawn on it!"

    Tommy is amazing.
    I have some friends who don't find him the least bit funny.
    That's impossible for me to understand.

    Well, I actually haven't seen his new DVD or tour so I wouldn't know.
    He was quite good on Tubridy Tonight, though.
    I'm not quite ready to entertain the idea of his losing his touch :eek:

    Two years ago I would have said Yeah, but the last DVD was crap. The stories were good, but putting fu*k into every second word is pointless and as for his beard-a bit of veet is in order.

    As far as I am concerned Tommy was an idiot from day 1. Those jokes as you call them are sh1te.

    Not a legend, worked with him. Bad attitude to be honest. Extremely moody!

    i wish i coulod vote yes with a but. compare his last dvd to his first dvd, his first show is structured with well paced stories, better stories, clever stories and some craziness. Now, hes just a raving lunatic, which is great, just not as good.

    to be fair i never found him funny on tv or dvd but went to see him in vicar st recently and he wasnt too bad at all, maybe they just keep the muppet humour for the dvds

    the man is funny, absolute raving lunatic, but funny. cant say i agree with some of the other posters here, i have met him in a social setting a few times now through comedy connections and he was always good craic

    tommy sold out to get more seats sold. at the start he told jokes, now he shouts nonsense and says **** a lot. might appeal to some idiots, but its gonna lose him respect, and international appeal.

    I totally disagree, ive been to see Tommy twice and have seen all of his dvds so far bar one and i think he is amazing, yeah he rants and raves a lot but thats his thing if you know what i mean, but the jokes he tells and the wit he uses are unmatched, in my oppinion any lol

    Have only seen him on TV a few times. Nope, don't find him specially funny. Some of his jokes are in very poor taste - totally unfunny.
