Topic: Late Late Show Posted: 10 Oct 2008 at 4:09pm |
I know we all HATE the Plank on this forum, but while on the computer I have the TV above me and some absolutel SPA has been on impersonating Brian Cowen and he is absolutley abysmal. THE singularly most unfunny thing I think I have ever seen on any station, never mind RTE. Our licence fee goes towards this garbage. I'm astonished, embarrassed and furious at the one time. I think I'll talk to Joe about this.......disgraceful sh*te, absolutely disgraceful.
I'm gonna mail RTE now I'm so fookin angry.

I was watching Mad Men on rte2 tonight and flicked over to rte1 in the break.
My eyes are still bleeding. The Repeat of the LLS was on, and Kenny was
interviewing what appeared to be a handicapped man wearing women's make up and a “Tops
of the Towns” quality “businessman’s costume” and wig. Assuming it was Ireland's first
special needs transvestite, I gave it a second to watch the car crash unfold as
Kenny asked the “serious” questions.
Alas, it was not Ireland’s first special needs
transvestite. It was the aforementioned “comedian” pretending to be An Taoiseach.
I didn't actually realise this until Pat had referred to him twice by name,
(actually, in fairness to Kenny, I think he knew it was a crap impersonation, as
he reiterated several times for the audience, just in case we hadn’t got it , that he was currently talking
to “The Taoiseach”. ) My god that was
piss poor. Really, piss poor. For an impersonation to work, you generally need two of the following three things :
1- You need to look like the person 2- You need to sound like the person 3- You need to be funny. Three out of three means you're watching the best in the business.
Two out of three means you're watching a competent , entertaining impersonator. One out of three means you've caught Oliver Callan from Nob Nation on a good day when he's doing one of the four voices he's not bad at, (but still isn't funny) and Zero out of three means you've just watched some no-hoper puffing out his lips on the late late show neither sounding nor looking like his intended victim.
Bizarre, unfunny and offensive to the senses.
Your licence fee is €160 a year ladies and gentlemen. When the licence man calls, tell him you haven't got one because you're so offended at the quality of the Late late show of the 10th Oct 2008 that you're f*cked if you think they can be trusted with your money any more - there's not a judge in the world would convict you after seeing the evidence.
After seeing Peter Kay do proper comedy on Channel 4 last night, that muck was a
thorough embarrassment. If a foreigner was to judge me as a person solely on my counties comedy output, I
would rather tell them that I was German rather than Irish on the off chance that he may have seen that vile
bucket of horsewank.
Between (a) this sh*t; (b) The “How low can you go”
arsemonkeys (Who seemingly think that Flaming homosexuality and lots of
shouting are acceptable substitutes for a script and some jokes when trying to
create an Irish version of Extras crossed with The Office); and (c) that annoying
bint Katherine Lynch somehow managing to get a second “comedy” series on rte
(you know the one – “Ahm a knacker. Ah talk in a funnay knacker vice. Ha ha ha
. Im a great laff. Knackers. Hiaces. Joe Dolan. Ha ha ha” - Oh DO F*ck off. ) it’s
hard to believe that this country managed to produce the likes of Dave Allen,
Dermot Morgan, Linehan and Matthews etc etc etc. Rte's light "entertainment" department deserve to be cannonblasted
with hardened balls of human sh*te for attempting to passing this drivel off as broadcast quality.

agreed BV, i havnt watched the late late since the 1st of the series when they had that shocking version of bohemian rapsody in which i even wrote to brian may to tell him how they savaged it (he never replied) since that show in wexford. Mick Wallace (wexford youths manager) revealed how the wexford gaelic football, hurling,camogie and womens gaelic football teams all were invited to the one off show but the wexford football team were ignored despite the fact they got to the league cup final this year. I refuse to watch the late late show ever again. even if elvis makes a comeback! and the late late show will go down as my League of Ireland list of enemies.

Well put BondVillian, there are loads of good comedians in this
country, and they are overlooked for utter cabbages like the
aformentioned impersonator (which I had the fortune of missing)...
I know of a bunch of comedians who had their pilot aired on Channel 4 a few months back- no surprises-RTE didn't run with it

Can't open the Link but that Alan Shortt fella was funny in Bull Island which was on years ago. Think yer man O'Callaghan played Charlie McCreavey back in that Bull Island but can't remember if he was funny or not.
Can I just add that yer wan Maeve Higgins ( Naked Camera) is argueably the most unfunny comedian that Ireland has ever produced

Ha ha, yeah seen that, even more reason to avoid this sh*te. Fookers still haven't replied to me complaint, which they're supposed to under their complaints procedure. Think I'll put a hot poker through my nether regions than watch that pompous baboon stand in for the Plank.

Once again, the Irish public are being punished because the director general of Rté is determined to make "G" Ryan work for his one hundred MEEELION dollar per year salary.
It's not our fault that the Rté accountants decided to give this slightly embarrassing middle aged man with a fixation on womens underwear and the menopause a ridiculous amount of money to be the main anchor of the country's 'Youth' station, but it's us that has to suffer because they have to make him do extra work on television to make the stupidly high payment look like value for money. "G" Ryan is probably the only name that I couldn't honestly say "Still, anyones better than Pat Bloody Kenny, eh?" in response to.
Still, the timing suits the dirty old businessman down to the ground. I wonder will he interview himself to plug his own 'silk stocking filler' book?
