Ryan Tubridy’s attempts at Presidential election humour

Did you ever get the feeling that Ryan Tubridy has not got over Hillary Clinton not winning the Democratic Nomination for the US Presidential Election?
On Saturday night’s TV show during a cooking piece with St. Nevin Maguire of all people, Ryan picked up two bags of icing, one white and one brown and laddishly squeezed them going ‘Barack Obama – John McCain wahay….’ Wtf was that all about?
Yes Ryan we know that Obama is black and McCain is white – do you need to make a joke (and a really crass one at that!) about it?
You can watch it all here - (Click on the Saturday 25th October piece featuring Nevin Maguire) the piece starts about 8:10 in if you don’t want to hear all about Nevin’s marriage proposal and his fawning over Mary McAleese.
Add to this a completely pointless piece on Today with Pat Kenny yesterday morning regarding what would happen if a presidential nominee died before the inauguration. I kid you not… RTE seem to be on death threat execution watch.
RTE pays the biggest cringemaker the most money, so he’s going after Pat Seinfield, I mean, Kenny.
Really, in the aftermath of the Russell Brand/J Ross debacle, you’d think national broadcasters would have a bit of common sense. You should never watch Tubridy, he’s just bad for your health. I thought people had stopped fawning over McAleese… there’s always one. Nevin’s marriage proposal… wtf… was this as sick-making as wee Daniel and Majella talking about married life on the LLS?? Jasus, hasn’t someone noticed that they’ll let anyone marry except… oh, right. It’s kinda like the lotto raising the prizes *except* the jackpot…
there’s no link… (or am i being dubm?) just thinking about it makes me cringe, so i have to see it
Mea Culpa Tina – I have inserted the link and directions now!! Happy Viewing
Got it now, thanks. Good God, what a fool…

RTE’s coverage of the whole US election campaign has been an exercise in patronising from beginning to end. The lack of analysis and depth in their reports would make you think that we have no previous relationship with the place.
Suspend him, sack him, make him resign – come on RTE do as you often do and copy the BBC! Ok maybe I’m grasping at straws…
Tubridy knew he couldn’t have done a worse job than Kenny’s stand-in the night before. I don’t know how I ended up watching Gerry Ryan slithering his way around Studio 1 and at one point practically humping a very uncomfortable looking Gary Lightbody’s leg, but I wish I hadn’t.
I’ll say this on Tubridy’s behalf: he may occasionally reach a bit far when he’s trying to be oh-so-witty but at least he knows how to keep a live show going (unlike Ryan) and make it look easy (unlike Kenny).
[...] by the logic of this timeline (some things the BBC does get very right, sometimes…) both Ryan Tubridy and Tommy Tiernan will be in serious trouble by the middle of next [...]
what an ass hat
Watch him squirm and change the subject the next time homosexuality is brought up around him.
Seriously.
