i think fair play ta des bishop he lovvves ireland :) and is more irish than most of the tools in this counrty, prob speaks better irish than our own taoisach an president!!!!
Can't stand the over-sensitive little crybabies complaining that des makes fun of the irish. Other countries like America and Britain don't mind people making funny observations about them so why hold Ireland to a different standard? Just laugh about yourself and stop being so sensitive. You're not a special little flower.
Played the Irish American card to death at this stage, the guy is a very average 'comedian' however I think some of his tv stuff was quite good like the minimum wage thing he did. Can't handle a heckler though, I hate heckers and they need to get put in there box swiftly.
I don't get all this animosity towards Des, I just watched in the name of the fada and he seems pretty genuine and and just loves Ireland, what's the problem? He's lived here most of his life anyway. And he's funnier than some of our shit comedians.
@doykeyes92 That's because most Irish people don't like someone who comes across as self-assured, direct and confident. I'm self-confident, so I think Des is great and the best comedian in Ireland today.
my sister and her boyfriend saw him in 2008-he had a go at a heckler and then walked off after 40 mins or so.His feelings as an artist were hurt apparently..
What are you on about he takes the total piss out of the Irish. Why can't he be humble about learning Irish aswell?..he learned basic Irish but he hasn't developed it!!! I would never look towards him as an icon for the Irish language...Go home to America! He shows the run down parts of Ireland in his videos which I think is unfairon the people who live there, don't get me wrong he is a funny guy but I'm sick of the Irish joke, he should either improve his Irish or get lost!
Haha so funny... but you wont understand some of the jokes of you dont understand the irish language. He is American but has lived in Ireland for years and is pretty much accepted as one of us!
he's so funny, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny, probably the funniest person,,,,,,,,,,,,, he said porn, i nearly shat meself laughing, does he do any jokes about anywhere else other than ireland though? i don't think it's possible his jokes get stale, cos he's sooo funny, but just in case his joke that he's being tellin for years does happen to get stale, maybe he could do a joke bout say isle of man? it's a big world out there?
I joined in with all the well wishers for des when he was diagnosed with cancer, having seen 'desfunctional/despicable' I think we may have been a bit hasty
des you are gorgeous love you

I think he's wonderful. I find the criticism boring and annoying. Go listen to someone else, then, and take your negative whining with ye!
