He once used the line in an Odeon Cinema, "Do you not know who I am" when they charged him for popcorn and nachos.

Hopefully the response went along the lines of

"yeah I know who you are, and I wouldn't even let you cook the fúcking popcorn here.

*spits in popcorn* .

Now that'll be 25 euros, you little freak"

Loughc · 22-10-2020 2:36pm

The answer actually was, "I have no idea who you are that will be...."

If you were a former profesisonal footballer/boy band member/millionaire/women hanging off you then yeah you would be a bit smug also.

Prob has a massive cock too.

He was in the youth squad at Leeds U circa 96/97. I am open to correction but I am pretty sure he was left go and never made it to the senior squad and certainly never played a game in PL. Think he may a have an FA Cup youth medal. He is 5'9 FFS.

He’s the Dino Zoff of Ireland to hear him talk!!!

I like her, but her voice is a bit much for a half-hour TV show. Much less the double-bill her series ended in.

Really we should just split this trope out into a WOMEN JUST AREN'T FUNNY FACT thread, save a tremendous amount of space here (and vice versa).

Very explicable. The wonder would be that he's on the telly at all, except you can just imagine the gears whirring in some commissioning editorbot in Montrose... Howth, youtuber, boyband, Hello!, some vague sort sleb cooking content, it's the law we have to have this on.

Yeah, 100%! Her hair has been in her eyes for so long now that even when she trims the fringe she still has a strained, squinty look out of habit. Herself and Tess Daly are horrific presenters of Strictly. Tess is one of the best looking women I've ever seen but has the personality of a wet sock.

I don't get this, why would he assume it's free? Was this overseen/heard by someone you know? I thought they all get "gifted" things like vouched and complimentary cards too even back before the Instagram #ad (very rarely used now).

alaimacerc wrote: »

I think panel shows, in the long run will ruin stand up of routines for alot of these comedians. It's why alot of them move into acting asap. Panel shows are effectively scripted anyway with a little bit of leeway for ad libbing.
During the Edinburgh Fringe for the last few years one of the most common things I heard said about shows were "I thought he/she would be funnier though, based on 8 Out of 10 Cats / Would I Lie to You etc".

As a Liverpool fan, I never thought I'd add a club legend to this list but ... Jamie Carragher.
He's treading a fine line at the moment with "banter" and all that nonsense but I think he'll overstep it some day and get booted to TalkSport radio before we know it. His latest attempt at "banter" by trying to get the Wolves captain (Coady, excited about a potential transfer to Liverpool) live on air was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful to Wolves and Coady himself, who handled himself very well in responding.

Barbara Scully. She's on Newstalk every now and then. If someone says something she disagrees with she's likely to say "I could smack you". There was something on the show before about relationships, and someone texted in with a question regarding their single dad dating again. The host suggested to the texter to leave their dad do his thing and find his feet. Barbara had a massive problem with it, and believed the father should restrict his movements to online dating at the risk of offending a woman he made advances on. The host had to appease Barbara and basically pretend to agree with her!

Very good looking. But yeah I think she has ADHD or something. I even saw her on Richard Osman's House of Games this week, and she just had to be loud on occasion just for the sake of it.

Smarmy smug shots more like it. Funny when she put up some picture of herself in a bikini, everyone copped the waistline photoshop job on it. Yep Ciara as a doc you should know everyone has a bellybutton.

Is there anyone out there that you just don't like and you just can't explain it? Someone who you just can't stand but they've never really done anything to make you feel that way.

For example, I have an irrational dislike of Emma Watson. I've never really seen any of her films or interviews but if I look something up and she's in it, I'm subconsciously voting against it. When she showed up in This Is The End I sighed and I'm not quite sure why. Can't explain it. Feel similarly towards Anne Hathaway.

Who's yours?

The guy I work with...he's in his 60s and goes on like a child. Always story topping and obsessed with status and qualifications ...he's threatened by anyone in a better role or say the likes of doctors etc he's a lazy prick and comments on everything...I can't wait to leave and I'm only there a month.

That'd be the "guide to being an adult" (or something like that) slot on Moncrieff. The format does rather depend on the two guests having absurdly strong opinions on a delicate subject they have one (often piss-poorly written) short email on, and having a rather histrionic and allededly hilarious tiff about it.

That show has quite the rogue's gallery of guests. Quite a few of the one-offs are... strange. And even some of the regulars! When I first started listening, he'd Paolo Tullio on every week. Random thoughts on food and hard-right politics! ... 'k.

And to this day he has Mairead Lavery on. And. She. Is. awful. Obvs there's the 'farmer's poor mouth' stuff, but that's expected, so we'll price that in. She sometimes just pitches up and has absolutely no topic prepared, and just rambles on disjointedly. (Who does she think she is -- Ray D'Arcy?!) And of course, she has the usual pig-ignorant views on the environment. Once SM had on a fascinating item on about intelligence and tool use in the corvid family. She's on next, and comes right out with, "Dirty birds, I'd shoot them all."

Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?
