    Marian Finucane. I just can't listen to her. Maybe that's more her opinions than her voice... Or the Aer Lingus in flight ad voice

    Is anyone keeping a Eurovision-style score on this?

    Who's leading the poll?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,205 ✭✭✭jiltloop


    Padraig Harrington, I actually feel sorry for him. He sounds like a 5 year old Kermit the Frog with learning difficulties.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭SAMTALK

    Bob Geldof.

    Good guy, but jesus the accent. I grew up in Dublin 4 so have a high tolerance level to that accent but even I wince every time he speaks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 521 ✭✭✭maxsmum


    Miriam Callaghan without a doubt. She is like a caricature with those weird 90s graduated layers and the accent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I can't nominate Ryle Nugent, when Gerry Thornley is around, he's like a character from a Ross O'Carroll-Kelly book.

    Joan Burton has a horrible voice, it has to be said.

    Jamie Heaslip too, over the top enthusiastic, has a tendency to "eeeehhh" like Padraig Harrington.

    I absolutely agree with your description and he sounds cunty for sure.

    While I disagree with your death wish for him, I respect the vitriol with which it was delivered. Good post, would read again.

    I remember a guess the voice segment on Blackboard Jungle and they played the voice of the above but the contestants guessed it was the below! :D

    That ould bøllix that does the Brennan’s bread ads. Especially when he does that stupid chuckle at the end. Fúck off.

    I think he also does a voiceover of the infamous grave robbers and murders "Burke and Hare" in the Edinburgh Dungeon. We were in there once and couldn't take it seriously ... "ah Mr Brennan, is that yourself?"



    I'd also like to add on Conor McNamara to this list.
    He doesn't quite commentate on football but do an impression of what he thinks a commentator sounds like commenting on football games.

    He has the weirdest, made-in-a-testtube mix of every football commentator's voice that's gone before him voice.

    When he was on the radio pontificating.....hold a while now....that phrase used to bug me.
