Dermot & Dave on Today Fm

Euphoria Intensifies

Aw, Dave's World is great! He nearly always has something interesting on it.

Miss the lads, hardly ever get to listen to them now

Daves laughing is so stupid. He's really not funny at all. Dermot is actually funny. But Dave is ****e.

Tbf, there wouldn't be a show without Dave, he's the one that pushes all the buttons, know how to keep the shows timing, keeps the segments moving along and hitting all the breaks, he chooses the playlist afaik, etc. He's a songwriter too, so I'd say he's primarily responsible for the jingles aswell.

The two boys are similar enough that they can work well together but different enough that the humour in the show isn't too samey imo.

Yes there would. Doesn't take a genius to have someone press buttons.

And Dermot does say stuff, so he'd well be able make a funny jingle given a tune.

Jesus Christ, their USA Soccer Guy type take off is absolutely horrendous

Go way outta that. Chug Stenson is hilarious

I like the segment but todays wasn't one of the better ones.

somesoldiers

I enjoy the show but I have to say the gingly bit is not good

Gits_bone

Dave is shíte. Trying to be funny with his really exact estimates.

Synode

He's very anal but I think it's gas. The two of them are very different which gives them plenty of material

No one cares about his kids or what he buys.

Synode

And no one cares what you think either. Cest la vie

Sounds like the new Today FM slogan to me.

USA Soccer Guy is a total rip off of Chug Stenson, except not as funny. Chug was around for a long time before that twitter account.

And then they try to give him a part of the show "Daves World" which is once again terrible. Say stuff is good, minus the laughter of Dave.

Well there's only two of them to discuss.

Why so negative though?

Because he is annoying as hell. Dermot I like, he's funny.

Like when they do "Say Stuff" and you can hear Dave with his fake laugh in the background. What's that all about?

Synode

Maybe he thinks it's funny

It's a fake laugh.

You know this how? It's the same laugh he has all through the rest of the week. Is his laugh ever genuine?

Enough is enough. If anyone posts the words "fake" and "laugh" with any proximity to one another in this thread, they will be thread-banned.

I've only ever heard snippets of the show up until today. But I caught the entire thing (those subbed to the Anton thread will notice a pattern here... :P).

They're really good. Lots of fun, perfect for lunchtime IMO. I know Ray Foley doesn't particularly like them, but I honestly think the vibe of their shows is very similar. Just light hearted craic.

I'm also late to the "Say Stuff That Suits the Music" party, but that's f*cking genius. Today's Kerri Katona bit made me LOL.

Synode

Love the show. My wife and kids also love it. So many good features and the lads work really well together. The whole 'Dave is boring and has no friends' is gas. I love his Dave's World section. It's usually interesting and Dermot's able to get a laugh taking the piss. Also, the jingles they do during the show and the ones played advertising the show on other shows are gas. Kids love them

Atlantic Dawn

I like the music they play but switch off when they come back on.

somesoldiers

it's only ok in my opinion. I like the US sports bit but cringe when they do the jingly bits, have yet to hear a funny one

Joe Doe

These guys are funny, the only thing I can listen to on Todayfm, along perhaps with the (always cheerful) lady that's on sometimes.

The evening goes downhill fast with the other guys whom can't string a sentence together without umms, ahhs and incomplete sentences. 2fm is largely unbearable, with very little tunage, luckily have x20 presets on dab and 100gb of audio

gimmick

My dislike of these guys increases daily. I do not find them even slightly funny. "Say Stuff That Suits The Music" being the worst.

nc6000

I switch off Today FM at 12.00. I just can't listen to them.

I think I have only heard the show once since moving to Today FM but I am a bit surprised with some of the views about them here as I enjoyed them on 98.
Is there anybody who used to listen to them on 98 and now listens on today fm on this thread? If so has there been a change in style?

I do exactly the same, I find them painfully annoying. Totally disrupts my radio listening.

There not on a par with King Foley yet but still very good shows with some funny features,

Yup had to start doing the same.

paddylonglegs

very funny "say stuff to suit the music" today

BPKS

One of the lads is out sick today (I Cant tell the difference between them).

So the show is now missing the 45 minutes of one of the lads laughing uncontrollably at something the other lad said.

Only a matter of time before they get canned from Today fm

The show is brutal. Cheese and cracker cheese and crackers...cringe!

They are up in the JNLR's so I doubt it. Im not suprised the boggers don't find them funny, all the seem to like is people doing crappy impressions or awful prank calls. Maybe they should start doing that to prove how good they are

LOL ..love the sarcasm. thats what i hate the most.....their impressions are f***in bruuuuutal.

Will be interesting to see the Q2 figures coming out. From where they were coming from an increase in 5000 listeners will probably guarantee their sacking

That Toby Maguire impression from Say Stuff That Suits the Music makes me laugh every time. :pac:
