The RTE Frontline shouty bloke
Posted on | November 10, 2009 | 74 Comments
Ireland has a new hero. It’s angry shouty bloke. Here he is on RTE’s Frontline last night giving it to Pat Kenny:
My favourite bit is when he talks about Mary Hanafin and says “She’s been elected to be a hypocrite”. Brilliant.
And previous to that he’s been out on the streets giving it to union leaders (nicely spotted by Alexia).
Where next? I think he needs a whistlestop tour of Ireland’s churches to give it to priests during their sermons.
“Youse fiddled all dem kids and made old men cry on de telly and now nobody’s saying nuttin about youse and your up here pontificitin’ and moralisin’ at us?!!!”
And then a quick stop off at the HSE:
“You took a seventy tousand pound bonus for what? For being rubbish at telling people dey have cancer and you pontificate at us and tell us the HSE is great? You’ve had your day!”
Then out to Dalkey to have a quick word with Bono:
“Millions of tousands of pounds every week I mean every year and you lecture us on the economy when you set up your company in Holland so’s you don’t have to pay tax. I’ve waited 20 years to confront you, you short arsed little prick”.
Before rounding off his tour from the gallery in Dail Eireann and I just don’t have enough time to go through all the things he might say there, but by Christ he should say them.
I salute you angry shouty bloke. I salute you.

Priceless

brilliant- lovely to see someone call bobblehead kenny out
November 10th, 2009 @ 9:11 am
what’s his name? i’d vote for him
November 10th, 2009 @ 9:45 am
More like him, that’s what the country needs.
November 10th, 2009 @ 9:45 am
He’s a fuckin’ hero.
Fair play to him.
November 10th, 2009 @ 9:48 am
He’s great.
November 10th, 2009 @ 9:55 am
Maybe a guest spot on the X-factor?
“You’re up there with your stupid cornetto hair-do’s,and yer plastic suits,not a note in your head pontificting about “doing it again” and “bustin ghosts” and ye think ye have the moral back bone to talk in a yank accent even though yer form the northside..”
November 10th, 2009 @ 10:06 am
If I didn’t know better, I’d say that was your good self. With your sunken mouth, Penney’s shirt and camp gestures up there pontificatin and moralisin about them people in the Dail. 600,000 a year for 6 nights a week sitting in Ron’s tryin to get the next round in. I’m now off to sue an old woman about a field…
November 10th, 2009 @ 10:09 am
As you well know I’m far more eloquent than that.
November 10th, 2009 @ 10:29 am
This guy is a legend and should be allowed on the Panel next
November 10th, 2009 @ 10:36 am
“More like him, that’s what the country needs.”
welfare spongers you mean? i’d love to have the time to be militant.
November 10th, 2009 @ 10:46 am
At least he opened his gob
November 10th, 2009 @ 10:48 am
He’s great.
He’s a fuckin’ hero.
Fair play to him.
More like him, that’s what the country needs.
I assume you are only messing. Fucking inarticulate, scrounging lunatic who never worked a day in his life. A good kick in the bollocks and some hard work is what that useless cunt needs
November 10th, 2009 @ 10:55 am
Angry man, needs to do something better with his time than shout at people. Bad shirt too.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:05 am
So, he’s on the scratcher and that disqualifies him from giving Pat Kenny a bollocking.
Is that how entrenched in right-wing ideology we’ve become?
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:13 am
I can’t even listen to him, he sounds more upset with Pat being wealthy than anything else.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:13 am
No he’s entitled to his opinion, but to be considered a hero because he shouted & roared a few very bad points is sad. At least Pat Kenny is paying tax. That fucking useless nutcase never paid a penny tax and has spent his life scrounging off the state
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:19 am
Rapey & Peadar:
You really come out with some prize holier than though shit sometimes..No wonder the FF brigade keep on getting in…Jesus wept!
They guy has had a mental illness in the past,the last time I checked that entitled a person to disability benefit.As we are a democracy,every citizen has the right to an opinion on the way the country is going,This guy happened to use Pat Kenny as an example of people on massive salaries talking about cutting money to the most vunerable in society “for the good of the economy” when the banks and a handfull of multi-millionaire developers are getting bailed out.
He may have gone a bit frothy in the mouth but he had a point,plus it was hilarious…
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:22 am
When I said ‘He’s great’, I meant the entertainment value and the sheer neck of the lad. Plus, anyone who roars at Pat Kenny and Public Service unions as a pastime is welcome to my tax. Better his few bob than the millions the banks are stealing off us.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:24 am
He gave it to Richard Dawkins too. Pity it’s not on camera. Let’s see where he goes next
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:28 am
Knock, hopefully
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:29 am
It was hilarious but he didn’t have a fucking point. So to talk about social welfare you should be on social welfare? He was on the radio this morning and offered to do pat’s job for 400 hundred a week. He still has a mental illness if you ask me
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:30 am
I don’t think anyone suggested he made much sense, it was just very funny to see an obvious lunatic get 3 minutes to rant on live TV.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:33 am
What mental illness is he supposed to have had in the past or indeed currently?
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:36 am
He does look a bit special, in fairness. Maybe he’s a half window licker.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:38 am
He didnt go into it,but he did mention that he was training for the religious order,but in 95 he got involved with a religious sect and ended up on the streets.I would say an aul nervous breakdown brought on by depression..I could be wrong though..
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:39 am
and no Peadar,i wasnt saying that,but i would say that someone that is living on social welfare would have a fairly strong opinion on the matter of it being cut.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:40 am
In australia the security guards would have clobbered him
but we wouldn’d have seen it because the station would have cut to the adds as soon as he opened his mouth, but then we’re a democracy
The host looked suitably embarrassed thought
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:40 am
He said on the radio that pat spoke to the crowd before hand and told them that when speaking, not worry about holding their emotions in check and not to hold back. Heh
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:41 am
You should have seen him in Spar in Artane when some sweetcorn ended up in his sausage sandwich. He cleared the shop in one minute.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:44 am
Haha..
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:45 am
“She was elected to be corrupt” – brilliant. We’ll all end up frothing at the mouth like yer man if we have to put up with this govt for the full term. Pat was at his patronising best – “It’s fair to say we give everyone a voice” (even crazy fuckers like him).
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:55 am
It’s fair to say we give everyone a voice
haha, not on purpose though
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:57 am
He was a very angry man and mostly ranting and raving but I did like it when he said he off to sue an old lady over a field for a million euro.
Kat Benny didn’t like that at all.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:58 am
I meant to write Penny but Benny works.
November 10th, 2009 @ 12:02 pm
I take it security’s been cut at RTE?
Why the references to American television? Nightline is total shit.
November 10th, 2009 @ 12:06 pm
Well, I loved it. Nice to hear someone with a bit of emotion for a change. Better than Brian Lenihan with his shit-eating grin telling us he’s sold Ireland down the fucking river or Mary Hanafin and her concerned teacher act or Gormley and his ‘I know what’s right for the little people’ bollix.
And so on…
(rant*rave*froth*point*bellow*…)
November 10th, 2009 @ 12:38 pm
According to http://tinyurl.com/yjhsyc6 he’s saying that the security guards congratulated him as they escorted him out.
November 10th, 2009 @ 12:46 pm
He’s right. Deranged – but right.
November 10th, 2009 @ 12:46 pm
Yeah, but everyone knows security guards are cunts :)
November 10th, 2009 @ 12:52 pm
Crank, I loved it too!
Nice to see someone in Montrose getting a kick up the arse, they’re a shower of smug bastards.
More shouty man in future, I hope.
If I was religious, I’d also pray for him to show up in Knock.
When’s the next instalment of that little saga, I wonder?
November 10th, 2009 @ 1:12 pm
RTE really need to get their heads of South County Dublin. Every guest on Ryan Rubbery in the morning have the same SoCoDu accents. Any time they do a street shot of traffic on the news it’s the fucking N11 outside RTE. There’s a whole country out there FFS.
Maybe I’ll go on Frontline next week.
November 10th, 2009 @ 1:26 pm
why cant he have the kind of mental illness that sends him after politicians with a machete in hand? that’s what’s needed imho.
November 10th, 2009 @ 1:38 pm
Maybe we could leave a tank outside his house with the engine running and see what happens.
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:00 pm
I havent enjoyed watching anything on RTE so much in ages!
The country needs more loopers!
Peader your taking life very seriously these days, dont worry Liverpool will win the league within 3 years. (just not the premiership – The first division, like they used to)
And filrup, them very talented boys are from Lucan.
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:01 pm
He’s obviously quite the mentalist, but that doesn’t mean that:
a) It wasn’t fucking hilarious to see that cunt Kenny get a bit of verbal live on TV
b) Accurate
It seemed like he didn’t expect to be let carry on for that long, so he only had one or two sentences of rant built up. When he got the unexpected airtime he just shot his load and started ranting instead of actually hammering his point home in a cogent way.
Anyway – who cares. It was gas.
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:03 pm
I blame the HSE. Clearly the hole in his skull never closed right.
What did Pat do to him 20 years ago? You’d think he’d have had time to perfect his speech. The first guy to interrupt one of Pats Chats drove a car through RTE security barriers. Now this guy. Is someone going to assassinate Pat one day?
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:05 pm
its even funnier if you watch it without sound
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:10 pm
My mistake..they’re still cunts though
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:14 pm
Wouldn’t mind too much if €600k was good value and that he was a capable or competent journo. But for that debacle about a month back when he pitched the public and private sectors at each other’s throats, for that the cunt deserves everything he gets. He’s cheap and not in a good way. What’s that one about ego writing cheques which the body can’t cash.
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:20 pm
Regardless of social class, money, education, health, everyone is entitled to express an opinion.
Whilst it was not eloquent in its delivery, this guy at least had the balls to stand up and be counted and took the opportunity to let rip.
Fair fucks to the guy is what I say!
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:37 pm
Just saw Alexia’s link.
We haven’t seen the last of this guy.
November 10th, 2009 @ 2:47 pm
Maybe we could organise a Front Row Shouty Man every week from next week? Anyone in?
November 10th, 2009 @ 3:27 pm
Peader your taking life very seriously these days, dont worry Liverpool will win the league within 3 years. (just not the premiership – The first division, like they used to)
Oh I found it very funny and very entertaining.
But some people think the guy had a point. I don’t.
I don’t want to talk about liverpool, I’m sulking
November 10th, 2009 @ 3:37 pm
Benitez should do his halftime talks like shouty bloke.
Oh fuck it, they’d still lose/draw.
November 10th, 2009 @ 4:49 pm
I thought the best part was the woman beside him with the “How come I always get stuck beside the mentallers” look on her face…
November 10th, 2009 @ 5:00 pm
THERE WILL be loads of angry shouty blokes if Liverpool do not start winning soon That fella on Kenny looked a bit like SEAN PENN
November 10th, 2009 @ 5:11 pm
I left Ireland in the 70s never came back only on holidays. Blogs like this keep me in touch which I’m greatfull. I cant believe that gobshite Kenny is on Euro 600,000 a year did he find a cure for cancer?
But look at their faces dont know who the woman is but the look…hey someone is on to us.
An Irish Hero who is he?
November 10th, 2009 @ 6:01 pm
The woman is Dame Edna Everage’s sidekick from the seventies and eighties, she spent some of the money she gets paid for being a hypocrite on a face lift, so now you know!
November 10th, 2009 @ 6:46 pm
yes he’s an everyday hero alright -
November 10th, 2009 @ 7:38 pm
Pat Kenny manages to piss off everybody he meets.
November 10th, 2009 @ 8:17 pm
He’s like a sleep deprived Brendan O’Connor.
November 10th, 2009 @ 11:17 pm
He’s like a sleep deprived Brendan O’Connor.
but with less toxic spittle
November 11th, 2009 @ 12:31 am
I hear he’s dating Susan Boyle
November 11th, 2009 @ 5:37 am
AND SO THE POT BEGINS TO BOIL OVER…’BOUT TIME YOU APATHETIC IRISHERS GOT A WAKE UP CALL…
November 11th, 2009 @ 11:36 am
That woke everyone up. Pat Kenny and Mary Hanifan havent a clue what they are doing, yet they get massive salaries. But, that is Ireland for you. Muppets given jobs by other muppets, and no one is allowed to question any of it. It is all coming to an end though, the money is running out. Ireland is heading down the toilet, we will default.
November 11th, 2009 @ 11:39 am
Peader vs Shouty Bloke. That would be some top telly.
November 11th, 2009 @ 11:45 am
Strangely enough, I too, am off to sue a lady over a field.
Stupid field-owning ladies pontificatin’ an’ stuff.
November 11th, 2009 @ 12:56 pm
THAT’S NO OLD LADY – THATS MAGGOT!
November 11th, 2009 @ 1:48 pm
What’s the field lady done to you, Scary?
November 11th, 2009 @ 6:01 pm
Oh, that was brilliant. Thanks for the laugh, Twenty, I needed it!
There’s obviously air getting in but it was lovely to see. I loved your woman sitting next to him; so you think she was turning down her hearing aid?
November 11th, 2009 @ 6:03 pm
Sorry, that should have been “do you think.” I guess I had better adjust my own air-valve…
November 12th, 2009 @ 4:25 am
Eh I think his most valid point was about the license fee. You have to pay Pat Kenny wether or not you watch her .
