    At least Des Bishop doesn't have to use really insensitive and unfunny "jokes" about people with downs syndrome etc. I used to think Tommy was really funny but hes taken it too far with these kind of jokes. I mean some people may find one or two might be funny but when thats all he goes on about it starts to get a bit old...

    So Tommy used to be great, but now he's pants? Or did he start out as pants and is only now showing his true colours?

    I quite agree..I can nearly quote word for word is live dvd
    He did gat a bit crap after that but I still like him because of his live dvd
    Himself and Hector are doing Friday evenings on I102-104 radio, it can be quiet funny at times and very hard to listen to at others

    Personally I don't find him funny at all, very annoying and once again not at all funny imo, never was and never will be!

    Des Bishop was never funny either.

    Daragh O Brien on the other hand is funny.

    Agreed. Totally. Saw him in Wexford a few years back and thought the show was a bag of sh!te. While I understand everybody has a different sense of humour I just couldn't see how anyone would find Tiernan any way funny. As far as I remember he started jokes (well supposedly jokes) and didn't finish em out....Which I suppose means they wern't jokes. Apart from that he seemed to have some fascination with repeatdly hopping his head of a speaker which didn't look the slightest bit healthy. Surley what hes taking ain't good for him.

    As for Des Bishop definately doesn't do anything for me either.

    Now Hector on the other hand, well hes good craic.

    God no, he's just a tool from Naaaaavan trying to be cool to young scobys but missing the target wholesale.
    My prediction for Hector is that he will be off the radar soon enough but maybe thats just hopefull thoughts.:)

    Tiernan was funny at one stage of his career. Not anymore god bless him. He now resides on the Costa Del Idiot along with Brendan Grace, Brendan O'Carroll and Paul Howard.... not that the last one was ever funny - Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is about as funny as losing your wedding ring while trying to artificially inseminate a cow

    I'd give all comedians a break for getting on stage and trying to make people laugh. Its hard work. But Tommy Tiernan just doesnt appeal to me anymore. I cant remember if he ever did. I saw him in Vicar street years back and thought he was only mediocre. Saw him on the Late Late show with Gerry Ryan and thought he couldnt really get any worse. Very staged / rehearsed / set up and Mr Ryan made a balls of most of his jokes. Tommy and Brendan O'Carroll have had their day. Their flogging a dead horse at this stage.

    Wow, when it comes to comedy in ireland Tommy really is opinion-splintering. Some say he's the messiah of comedy and others say he is the epitome of ignorance. Well, whatever ye think yerselves, personally i think he's funny in CERTAIN areas

    i am not one to get easily offended and tiernan doesnt offend me either (save for the belittling of people with handicaps - simply disgusting) its just he is not in the slightest bit funny. the OPs quotes, forgive my ignorance, but i cannot see the humour in them anywhere!!:confused:

    C'mon... Tommy is definantly deserving of Legend status!!


    Or a quote from when he did a show at Sligo IT:


    Made jokes about the disappereared toddler Madeline Mccann, wonder if he would appreciate people telling jokes about his oldman who was shot dead by the UVF.

    Nah, although his "Live" dvd was pure gold, particularly the Declan Moffit sketch (come on, who does'nt know somebody like this?)

    These days if I want irish comedy I go for:

    Dylan Moran
    Daragh O'Brien
    Des Bishop

    In that order

    Wow I'm stunned to see the no votes. I know he has told some controversial jokes but comedian hasn't? I think he is good.

    Have noticed his jokes have become repetitive, but still the best Irish comedian out there.

    I'd be fairly sure the no votes arent for the "controverial" nature of the jokes, rather his method of delivery. its cotroversial for the sake of being controversial, without a good gag to back it up. shouting isnt funny. He was better when he had some respect for his audience, now he's dumbing down what he's capable of to pander to the lowest common denominator.

    Oh yeah, realllllll funny (sarcastic)

    Maybe he'll make fun of more handicaps at his next show, and on his new DVD, he'll insult OAPs until they cry.

    The Bas**rd is an edjit and doesn't deserve the sad and worthless attention he's getting.
