    Yeah I initially enjoyed his TG4 travel shows but then he started popping up all over the place and his persona really started to grate. That "Ta me ag teacht" thing became his version of Des Bishops immersion joke for a while. He'd say it every time he made an appearance.

    Wasn’t the sex as Gaeilge the go to routine for that fella that used to be the warm up for Podge & Rodge? He inevitably popped up a t a few gigs I went to and always used that routine, years apart.

    there was a bigger audience in targetting his "comedy" at women who love celeb nonsense than being juvenile, male orientated humour...i think he actually said it....

    As both for me. He likes to lecture people on their dietary habits. I'll eat what I want, thanks. And don't get me started on his "singing" (loose definition of the term); he couldn't hold a note in a bucket. Middling songwriter, though, to be fair.

    Can't place that chap. Hectors early schtick was doing an impersonstion of what a porn fIlm might sound like in Irish, he hasn't done it years mind. Maybe he stole yer man's gag or vice versa.

    Ray D’arcy. I don’t hate him but don’t particularly like him anymore. I loved him when he started on Today FM, he was fun and entertaining. He’s now just a grumpy old man.

    Vogue is a really nice person, but exactly the type of person that people with no social skills would dislike or even hate. She's good looking, charming and in the eyes of the socially inept, she is popular, something they could never be.

    Could say the same for a lot of celebs mentioned on this! I thought he was actually hilarious back in the day, the big brothers big mouth thing....now he's just a massive dose harping on about complete crap whenever he's given half the chance.

    The lad who does the Coronavirus voiceover in Dunnes Stores. After the first time, when I casually dismissed and cheerily tolerated his annoying right-on virtue signalling claptrap, I began to get irritated.

    He was still one off the best lyricists/songwriters of his generation until maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I haven’t heard his latest but what I think done for him was when he kept chopping and changing his band and collaborating songwriters at each recording and I dunno. When he had just the likes of Alain White, Boz Boorer and Mark Nevin in the earlier days writing for and with him his stuff was melodic, fresh, catchy, romantic, perfect and consistent. He’s been having a love in with some Jesse Tobias fella for a while and I can’t figure it out, his songs just are not all that. An awful lot of average. Pity.

    Going out on a limb here and say Blindboy is following the same trajectory as so many celebs in Ireland.

    I suppose you could call it "doing a d'Arcy on it". The steps are roughly.

    Get famous for a niche interest.
    Use it as a platform to tell people about social issues,
    start pontificating on how to solve social issues,
    eventually become cranky old man.

    Blindboy is just another middle-class, middle age guy giving out about the world.

    Dont know if he can be classed as a celebrity but lately Blindboy does my head in. He has rampt up his pontificating on climate change...he is starting to sound like that other yoke Greta Thunburg.

    I actually saw a live show of his a few months ago and it was good..but that was down to his guests. He didn't really say a whole load.

    Yer woman Vogue, i do not understand why she is on tv, that fairy tv ad shes on makes me puke. She is the cliche of everything wrong with society today
    I've nothing against Vogue - I'm sure she's perfectly nice.

    It's the segment of the entertainment industry that somehow annoys me: Vogue goes to the shops, Vogue has some friends around, Vogue chats about her day, Vogue plays with her kid.

    I can't really blame Vogue for capitalising on a market for watching good looking people do nothing interesting. The problem is elsewhere.

    Amy Schumer.

    I remember noticing her on a couple of things on comedy central because she was genuinely funny on them. The roasts were one I think and she was vicious on them. But now she's so bloody sensitive, she does nothing but feel like a victim. And she's no longer funny is the biggest problem. Not even a little bit.

    Katie Hopkins.

    She was a decent journo, I didn't agree with a lot of her opinions but admired her honesty. She had a very invasive brain surgery a few years ago, and I started following her recovery from that.

    Then... well...

    Part of me thinks it's a pity. She could have been great. She could have been an ambassador for epelectics. She could have used her business brain to do good things.

    She turned out to be a racist biatch.

    As people know I follow Fair City but one thing I do find is when I was younger I liked the actors but now from I see of them they all seem like nightmares. Some are very snotty and think they are the best actors ever and the others are similar to Emmett Kirwan.(Who was also in Fair City).

    I can't take her seriously any more since that video showed she ripped off other comics material wholesale. On phone so cant link but look up Amy Schumer joke stealing compilation on YouTube.

    I agree with the sentiment but would struggle to find a time that I used to like him or something that he's done that I really like.

    I suppose Inside I'm Dancing was good, but it didn't necessarily make me want to watch out for the next movie he was in. Dublin Oldschool was OK, but only in a pass the time on a transatlantic flight kind of way.

    Thread title is "celebrities you hate but didn't always dislike".... Emmet fits in perfectly. You don't have to like/love their early work.

    I gained a whole load of new respect for him since he rightly called out celebrities for using events such as The Golden Globes to make political statements and virtue signal to us ordinary folk about various world wide issues.

    While his work of protecting innocent animals could be considered a political statement, he doesn't lecture the world about it.

    I used to like James Corden before he went mainstream. His recent complaints about being quarantined in his million dollar mansion made me dislike him more.

    Sam Smith - never particularly liked his music but it was alright in a “it’s on in the background” sense. Then he decided to refer to himself in pronouns and that was me out - have no time at all for people like that. If I even hear a note of his voice in a song now I’ll turn it straight off.

    No. He was always unlikeable. His fat Welsh 'comedy', whatever it was called, was terrible.
