In this clip, the Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan, dressed as one of the Wurzels for some unknown reason, regales the audience with his unusual and often insightful view of our world. Tiernan uses a lot of profanity so be warned. He has also been known to upset the odd person or two. If you enjoyed […]
They are the people who keep us talking, some of us anyway. Who is sleeping with who? Who is richest? Who is craziest? Who has biggest house? Who has biggest bum? Who is the biggest bum? The elite of Hollywood have become a form of global royalty taking up massive column inches in all papers. […]
The movies do enjoy regurgitating their content. Sometimes it’s lazy and boring. But often it’s a good laugh. The next video looks at some of the most parodied movie scenes. Of course the Simpsons would have to make the list, they excel in parody. Rebel Voice wonders how many of the 10 you would have […]
Tommy Tiernan is a lunatic. That’s not an official diagnosis as there is no medical condition that wholly encapsulates the character of this comedian born in Carndonagh in County Donegal. His performances are raucous, raw and ribald. He’s very popular on the Emerald Isle and could be considered the ultimate apostate, challenging many topical issue […]
A regular contributor to this site once said, ‘Mensa is an organisation for those with a high IQ, but which is being run by idiots’. Hmm, quite a claim and one which Rebel Voice will take lightly, although the commentator was once a member of that organisation so perhaps there’s something to it after all. […]

We will all have seen at least one parody of life portrayed on the small screen. Whether it is The Office, Reno 911 or The Thick Of It, we are captivated by how ridiculous our societies can be, with the silliness of actual life being exaggerated for our amusement. Some parodies are easy to distinguish from […]
If we are to take our cue from the plethora of movie and TV series currently doing the rounds, then Armageddon, or some variation of it, is edging ever closer. With global war on a shaky horizon, and Ebola on the rise in the Congo, again, we could be forgiven for thinking that our species’ […]
Yep, it had to happen, the Eighties have become retro. Heaven help us all who were there the first time round. Synthesizers, funny-looking boots, Apartheid and mullets which were the worst hairstyles since hair was invented (even worse than those of Cromwell’s New Model Army, and they were some weird-looking fellas). Thankfully, there were some […]
Every great movie has to have a great baddie. We can fear them, and hate them and even be appalled by them, but we need them. The villains give us balance and help to offset the ofttimes nauseatingly moralistic good guys. Here is one list of ten of the best movie villain backstories. Rebel Voice […]
Peter O’Toole- The Definitive Biography by Robert Sellers When people usually think of Peter O’Toole, they imagine a hard-drinking, hell-raising Irishman who starred in the title role of Lawrence of Arabia. O’Toole was both hard-drinking and a hell-raiser, as well as having been nominated for 8 Best Actor Oscars, winning none. However, he wasn’t Irish, […]
