Unfunny Irish comedians <<MOD note in OP>>

Muahahaha

Read that Jason Byrne split up with his wife. Never knew he has two kids of 18 and 11. I feel sorry for them, dad jokes must have an all too familiar annoyance for them.

There's a lad from 'round these here parts who shares his moniker with a famous person. Every time I read one of his posts I think.... ''the Jason Byrne of Boards.ie''
Loud, brash, embarrassing, but most importantly....very, very unfunny!

I wonder if it has to do with his dealings with the law? I mean, he got in trouble not too long ago for driving with a suspended license, so you can imagine he was a bit feckless with other things too-maybe not keen to grow up.
Which is grand if you're single, not so much if you've got two kids and wife at home.

Either way-breakups are nothing new. Happening in every town and village.

ah lighten up will ya? He is an unfunny comedian who has most of us here scrambling for the tv remote. Could you imagine having to live with his *jokes* day in day out? It would drive you insane, the guy acts like a child and has as much sense of humour as a bag of carrots

Yeah-PJ Gallagher's marriage fell apart too. After about two years. Nobody shed a tear there either.

It's comedy-sometimes there are victims. PJ Gallagher doesn't have any kids, Jason Byrne had kids before he was married, so if he had split up prior to 'putting a ring on it' nobody would care.

I see that Rorie's painfully unfunny Stories is still going. There was one where he was pretending to get sick on a plane, no punchline or anything, just that he was feeling sick on a plane.

1.2 MILLION VIEWS.

People are idiots.

Unbelievable.

I can't even begin to understand his appeal. Very one dimensional, loud, in your face stuff. I'd imagine he'd squirm at the thought of attempting a subtle stand-up routine.

I made theistake of looking this up.
Curiosity got the better of me so I gave 2 more vids a go.
That is some of the most insufferable non funny Bull Shyt I have ever seen.

I think as at him back in 2007 and he was in one of the biggest venues- 1500-2000 and he was doing about 15 nights back then. He is very successful at the fringe festival. He is dreadful on tv but anytime i’ve Seen him live where he has the show to himself he is very funny albeit in a very childish way.

Bog warrior GAA lad who has a widespread audience of thick bog monkey followers that love his stuff. his material is utter sh*t and is Facebook clip driven. The fat slob sidekick he has is far more talented.

The Crowman

I thought Rorys Storys was that beardy guy who films all his videos sitting in his car but just looked it up and its even worse which is some achievement.

It must be down to boredom and cheap booze-only explanation. Other times you see 'free tickets' giveaways on RTE or wherever.

It's my only conclusion.

Twink in her trying to be a comedian phase was fairly dire. Of course the old rte incest circle ensured she got gigs with Uncle Gaybo and Mike Murphy show

Her and Maureen Potter tried 'standup' and...yeah, results were painfully unfunny.

Potter at least tried-she was never a really spiteful, hateful woman...like Adele King.

Roisin Conaghty, one of the worst comedians/panelists I’ve ever seen.

I can't find it on Youtube but I remember seeing this sketch of hers from the Live Mike about a pirate radio station that I'm pretty sure ripped off a scene in the Young Ones down to the line "one yank and its off" about her characters dress.

Meh, her parents are Irish, she's British. Doesn't fit the criteria of the thread. (Plus, she makes me laugh on occassion).

Maureen potter I always found unfunny however it was a different time and in fairness her audience back then thought she was absolutely amazingly funny
