Dave Hughes labelled ‘annoying’ by Logies viewers after his ‘painful’ on-stage appearance

by

Social media users have been vocal in their criticism of comedian Dave Hughes following his profane performance at the Logie Awards on Sunday.

Sharing the spotlight with fellow humorist and Logie winner Guy Montgomery during the presentation of the award for Top Telemovie or Miniseries, Hughes playfully remarked on his past lack of success in winning the prestigious television trophy.

Additionally, he joked about needing to consume a wild boar’s organ during the most recent season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in a somewhat inappropriate manner.

Guy, what’s it like to receive a Logie Award?” he inquired. Then, with a touch of humor, he continued, “I’ve attended 25 Logie Award ceremonies, but I still haven’t taken home a Logie myself!

‘I haven’t even accepted one on someone else’s behalf.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I humorously extended my ongoing “no Logie wins” narrative during a recent chat, subtly referencing my time on the latest season of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here. In essence, I playfully suggested that perhaps my lackluster performance in the jungle could also be considered a ‘non-win’.

‘…That show has been nominated every year since its inception – except for this year.’

He then told a yarn about how he was left with a moral dilemma while filming the survival series.

During the filming of the show, Hughes, who follows a vegan lifestyle, mentioned that producers requested him to forgo his beliefs as part of an eating contest.

He asked, “What is this I’m eating?” and they replied, “It’s a boar’s penis.” That’s quite a surprise, given he hasn’t consumed meat for the past fifteen years, Hughes humorously commented.

He added, “I faced an ethical dilemma. I have a deep affection for animals and I enjoy appearing on television. After pondering it, I decided, ‘let me take the stage.’

Audience members voiced their disapproval on platform X, critiquing the comedian’s act. They scrutinized not only his jokes but also his characteristic loud way of presenting material.

User commented, ‘Dave Hughes is really awkward nowadays. I guess that’s why he never won a Logie.’

Another fan added, ‘Dave Hughes is not funny, [he is] annoying & self-important.

‘His schtick with his stuttered robotic voice (on top of the pitch) is just grating & ick. Go away.

‘PS. Admitting he loves being on TV (ie. attention) is the realest thing he’s said in years.’

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I couldn’t help but express my disapproval when viewing the Logies, as yet another audience member echoed my sentiments about Hughes’s presentation style. ‘The shouting at 11:30 pm? Oh, please, just end it now.’

Another viewer was equally harsh.

‘He has a grating, high-pitched, obnoxious voice, much like another irritating cancer. If he returns to host the Logies, social media might collapse.’

Still, it appears that Dave Hughes fan was prepared to a good word for radio and TV veteran.

‘So good to see Dave Hughes grace the Logies once again,’ someone said.
