Yeah, Trainspotting 2. "That looks good" - No one ever.

Actually everyone I know (well maybe not my Da) is very excited about this. Book was great, same cast, reviews have been excellent so far.

Neil Delamare is the archetypal unfunny Irish comedian.

I have a theory that the only reason Neil Delamere keeps popping up constantly on RTE is that because the shape of his small squat head works okay within the dimensions if you're shooting for TV.

I tuned in expecting to hate it, but actually ended up sort of enjoying it.:o

Al Porter, paid 55 euro to see im, turned up late, came on stage at 11.45pm and walked off 25 mins later.:mad:

Disgraceful.

If you don't have at least an hour long set, you've no business charging prices like that. The guy needs to stick to open mic nights until he develops a proper stage show like all headliners have to do.

I'm sticking the rubberbandits in here now. Used to be very funny, until they decided they were experts on the world political stage. So now they sit on the Late Late Show making great debate wearing plastic bags on their heads. And they wonder why nobody takes them seriously?

That's more of an indictment on the Late Late Show than it is of the Rubberbandits.

They were never even remotely funny. Does anyone here think this clip is even vaguely amusing?

I fully expect their chief fanboy Dannyriver to be here at at moment now to defend the indefensible. :pac:

Did you see them in Trainspotting yet, imagine that Rubberbandits immortalised in Trainspotting

Dannyriver

Excellent sequel by the way , it could have been a disaster as sequels often are.

No, think I might give Trainspotting 2 a miss now. I've no time for these Quinnsworth bag wearing simpletons.

Another reason not to listen to Today FM.

They seem to just want to fail.

I think Today FM have gone off on a tangent picking up anyone that sat on a comedy talk show panel or did a bit of stand up, thinking if they give them a microphone and a time slot that they will bring in the listeners.

The best thing about comedy is only having a little of it, keeps you interested in my opinion, in saying that all the above mentioned through this thread make me turn off.

RabbleRouser2k

I genuinely do like some of the presenters on Today fm-MAtt Cooper, for one. Muireann O' Connell too (I really like her on tv also, she just comes across as genuine. And she's really nice to the faceless folk on twitter).

Some others, whose names escape me, I like too.

But the rest...no. I just don't wanna listen.

Ah come on, now!! Even without playing that YouTube video above, it's obvious that it's a Centra bag on yer man's head!

Tara Flynn. Even at my most bed-ridden and hungover, I'd get up to change the station. Utterly objectionable.

Sometimes I can see where she's going with a joke, and often there's potential, but she has never evoked anything more than a facepalm from me, personally.

IT's so frustrating watching her too-it's like seeing the joke right there...just grab it...

And she misses it completely.

I could see this being hilarious if she spent a good chunk of time working on it. But it's not-even drafted in poor Ed Byrne too.

On the other hand, Dana Carvey makes it look far more effortless-and you know it isn't.

Tara Flynn is a comedian? I just thought she was an official verified Repeal the 8th and Graham Linehan retweet account on twitter?

Anybody who goes see AL Porter deserves a crsp night

And that's one of the lesser crap one's she does.

She's only funny when she's reading someone else's lines of of a script. Otherwise, she's irritating.
Even her voice over's now just bother the hell out of me. Makes me not want to by the product she's advertising.
