Annoying Comedians

Erin Go Brath

Brendan O Carroll is the most unfunniest ever, sure cursing like a docker all the time won't that make it hilarious ~ gob****e

All women comediennes are crap epecially Deirdre O Kane, and that maeve from cork wan. Good call on that, people.

Dermot Morgan is however a total legend. Sadly missed.

Never saw her stuff but id rattle the arse off it Read some quotes though, maybe she tells them better but it seemed pretty bad. re female comedians, I saw one once, fine as hell, used a complete filthbag of a monkey as part of her act Someone has her in their Comedy Forum sig I think. It was pretty funny IIRC, but most of them seem awful, its period jokes, man jokes and impressions of their own relatives that are probably hilarious to.....their own relatives, but are pointless on the rest of us.

Ive always found Tommy Tiernan to be a staple of country folk, students and D4s only. I cant ever recall sitting through more than 15 mins of his stuff they show on Paramount (usually because there is something else on) but he just usually doesnt keep me watching like Jack Dee on the same channel for example (miserable oul prick, hes gas ). Tiernan just strikes me as an angry man Bill Hicks impressionist in some ways. Dont get me wrong, Ive seen 10 min spots on the late late or whatever and he has cracked the odd good one but I find him somewhat overrated all the same, his live in concert shows werent exactly Richard Pryor or Peter Kay (i know i know two very different comics, my point is you can easily sit through two hour long shows of their stuff if you dont choke to death laughing before it ). Point is that Tiernan didnt crack a good enough one within 10 mins to stop me switching.

Lee Evans, I seriously dont get it. Ditto Pat Shortt. Harry Hills clip show seems to try to somehow milk a joke about a totally normal scene from a tv show.

Have to say I thought Ed Byrne was gas on The Panel and the little stand up Ive seen him on (didnt watch The Panel religiously mind, maybe once a week in and out, tbh it ruined it somewhat when RTE showed it time delayed after your man in the crowd gave abuse to Joe Duffy when he was a guest).

Never saw McSavage do actual stand up, infact havent seen him in years, however I remember him always being around town 3 years ago, he always got a great response from the gathered crowd and his guitar bits were hilarious. Either hes a victim of his own success or the wit of his insults has become appalingly ****e as of late.

I can't stand Maeve Higgins (from Naked Camera). I was at a live gig she did in UCD as a warm-up for PJ Gallagher and she was booed off the stage.

No idea of their stand up, but Naked Camera is beyond awful.

You'd be doing well to watch The Panel more than once a week mate!

Im fairly sure it was on Monday and Tuesday at one stage with a highlight show in the small hours at the weekend.

*shrugs*

dunno, maybe not.....

Actually now that you mention it you're probably right. Although for the last couple of years it was only on on a Monday night.

There was a show on paramount earlier with a couple of Irish comedians.It was the first I saw of Des Bishop...not great.Dylan Moran wasn't much good either.Dara O Briain was brilliant and Tommy Tiernan and Ardal O Hanlan weren't too bad either.I Never really minded Colin Murphy or the Byrnes or any of the guys on the panel.Ed Byrnes voice is a tiny bit annoying but I could put up with it.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

After reading this thread, have remembered a lot of comedians I despise.

Maeve Higgins, Ed Byrne, Jason Byrne, Alan Carr, Karl Spain, Graham Norton, Brendan O'Carroll and some other not worth mentioning are all dreadful.

Neil Delamere, Andrew Maxwell, Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran, Rowan Atkinson and Ricky Gervais would be my favourites.

If nothing else, this thread has proven that one mans punch is another mans poison. I would love to say that Maeve Higgins is the only consistantly un-funny, annoying comedienne i've ever seen, but she did do this one joke about fancying her Da back in the day that was hilarious, so i can't do her the injustice.

For pure annoyance factor, Brendan O'Carroll who built his empire from pedalling that crap; Lee Evans who again is doing quite well out of exploiting the world's current lack of ability to critically evaluate things for themselves; sure we'll say that McSavage goon aswell.

muppetkiller

To be fair I think it's an insult even to rubbish comedians to put Brendan O'Carroll in this thread... He's not a Comedian !!!!! I find myself feeling phyically sick even at the sight of one of his posters.

Saw this thread and its perfect for my story

I was at an-event-we-are-forbidden-to-talk-about in Punchestown early in July...I was standing there in a poncho covered in mud smoking a blue when this girl comes over to bum a smoke off me. I was messing with her telling her that smokers are a dying breed etc. etc. when we looked over to our left and low and behold there was David McSavage

He was standing there with a sign over his head that read 'I'm an alcoholic' the girl turned to me and said
Girl: 'Is that David McSavage?'
Me: 'Yeah hes a spanner'
Girl: 'I hate him too...I'm gonna kick him in the nutz'

She promptly walked over to him and kicked him in the nutZ.

And it was all caught on camera by some girl DMcS was with. The funniest bit was watching him watch the playback on the camera. He was freaked out and had to do the shot again! His face was priceless.

On his second take some guy covered in mud started chasing him and DMcS tripped and fell dirtying his chinos

That girl will get free ciggies for life off me.

you are some ejjit if you find a girl kicking someone in the nuts for no reason funny. Like one of those jackass morons. Say if DMcS decided to give his shoes a clean by kicking her in the Ghee.

tend to agree.

Billy Connolly - good but not all that great imo

Of the comedians I've seen I can't say there was any that didn't make me laugh AT ALL...Allan Carr and Joe Pasquale's voices annoy me though

I'd agree that most female comedians aren't much use!

My faves would be Bill Bailey, Peter Kay and Dylan Moran

Naked Camera and Anonymous are also two of the worst wastes
of tv licence money ever! (imho)

Well it's not seeing as Naked Camera was extremely popular.

"Is the fish good for the hoooooooorrrrrrrrnnnnnnnn"

Can't please all of the people all of the time. Does everyone in Ireland like every program RTE have on? (do they like even a 1/16 of them,lol)

You may be of the opinion it was crap but if you are of the opinion it was a waste of tv licence money then your well off the mark.

Zapp Brannigan

I've got another, I don't know this guys name though.

He's the host of "Comedy Blue" Paramounts terrible show with "adult" comedy. He's not funny :mad:

ronbyrne2005

Why is it women find male comedians funny but reverse doesnt seem to be true (generally),anyway Deirdre o'kane is very unfunny, one day during rag week in DCU she warmed up for Dara o'Brian in the bar and bombed , i was cringing and actuallly felt sorry for her,was a mainly male audience if i recall correctly.
