Dustin The Turkey on Sky News (Ireland Eurovision 2008)

[@MancsMonkey]

Love it: "I'm not one of Louis Walsh's acts; I have talent, y'know." "Most of our politicians are crooks."

[@sparkypineapple6354]

Irish you perfect trolls!

[@MyThoughtsAreBelow]

"I'm not one of Louis Walsh's act, I have talent you know" LOL "We sent people from sligo over, it's this big dump in the middle of Ireland" BURN!!!!! Dustin is a legend

[@topkev]

he first appeared on kids television in '89, or there abouts. he occasionally releases charity songs, never for profit. he has his own programme too, still aimed at kids. i have to wish himthe best of luck. GO ON YA GOOD THING!

[@MancsMonkey]

Love it: "I'm not one of Louis Walsh's acts; I have talent, y'know." Class!

[@dannyodwyer]

[@GobMerde]

Dustin your a star!

[@Natedawg38]

Ah Dustin. You should be on our flag.

[@MarianMurphy-rz8ej]

I think as president he would’ve had more integrity and by the way *all* parties are the poultry party… so yeah… because our government are run by satanists!

[@caomhin1]

spot on!

[@eurocourt]

This is brilliant tv - well done Ireland - this'll have Europe spitting feathers - a guaranteed 12 from Scotland!!! Good luck!

[@hughmcgrath50]

When was the last time a Eurovision entry made News Headlines? It's taken on a life of it's own. A runaway (winning) train! The Youth of Europe will vote for it.

[@abelpower]

Days ago they did an interview to him in the Spanish television along with the representative of Spain

[@Danny699]

Amen to that.

[@KenfromDublin]

'Can you get me Adam Boulton's autograph please?' Priceless! ..and I don't mean the autograph ha ha! ;)

[@walshislandshamrocks]

Legend....!!!!

[@SuperClaire2010]

i'm not louis walses act lol

[@hughmcgrath50]

News update: The Toll Trolls are already working hard on next years entry. Bosco has left rehab against Doctors advice to have talks with Sockie about a possible duet. Next years proposed venue is a Cow shed in Ballydung hosted by Podge & Rodge. Britian's Zippy is already confirmed to do a 2009 remix of the classic Rainbow Theme Tune. To show no hard feelings the Eurovision Committee have invited Dustin for Christmas Dinner.

[@Ronronzo]

Go on Dustin!!!!!! =]

[@murto30]

Dustin is Class, Arklow! Arklow!

[@LennonLove]

LEGEND.The funniest thing to come out of ireland.the song he'll be singin is shockin,but it should be a laugh to see where he comes.

[@k3D4rsi554maq]

Dustin was unfortunate that the UK weren't voting in the semi-final that he was in.

[@AriIceland]

that bird pooped on eurovision - his message was heard

[@Presto100]

Still funny in 2021

[@rallyboy1971]

[@Ducksexbody]

[@shane-irish]

Go on ya good thing

[@1hewsonfan]

[@rorychinn5786]

Only Ireland would do this :)

[@Hopes91]

I'd wait till the Semi-Final. He has to get through that. Dustin might not make the final. If he does, he's all yours. I hope Dustin wins!

[@Diamondblade2008]

I like those Sky News graphics with the rotating cube that alternates between date and time. The new Sky News graphics are so boring.

[@SawIndy]

Im irish. Dustin [the turkey] is not real. He used to star on the biggest kid show in ireland Rte's: The Den. He then appeared every-year on The Late Late Toy Show, every year. Dustin is well known, unlucky the other european countries didnt like the fun :l GO ON YA GOOD TING! had to say that :P

[@crossbarro]

hes a legand go on ya gud thing

[@steveandger]

yes Dustin very good luck to ye

[@stevenharpervw]

[@machewbaccas]

-silence- BURRRRRRRRRP

[@Hopes91]

I'm serious, i do think this has a strong chance of winning.

[@mysteriouskazakh]

Lol love the Sligo Stoke reference!

[@ThomasJBartyhead]

Question is .. will Europe see the greatness of Dustin, in just 3.4 minutes.. Mentioning ALL member states is deffo a good idea, and the style of the tune is a perfect match for the competition.. Smart move...!!! I don't know about the politics , there is only room for one bono in this world, well I suppose Bob Geldof also

[@bassbashingbrendo]

love that shit

[@HouseofFabarge]

Again 😭🎉

[@fifi102m]

europe just didn't understand dustin...

[@kevayreski]

A nation mourns :(

[@scanlon69r]

that glove puppet is the biggest ledgend ta ever come out off ireland!!!ana every1 4rm ireland would agree with me

[@AgentSpeed92]

remember dustin from the den also remember socky on RTE 2 on DUBLIN 4

[@erenstar5895]

News title is "Eurovision Turkey". ¿🇹🇷 or 🦃? 🤣🤣🤣❤ 🇹🇷❤🇮🇪

[@errlloyd]

I live in south Dublin on the N11. 4 years ago from my house there was no Public transport into town from my house. Come next year I will have buses every 6 minutes on weekdays and Luas's every 10 minutes. It used to take about 2 hours for me to drive to Roslare, now with the Rathnew, Arklow and Gorey Bypasses I can do it easily in much less time stress free. It used to take about an hour to get to the airport, thats now nearer 35 on the m50 and 30 through the tunnel. Transport is your ans.

[@Dusttino]

HAHA my name si DUSTIN IRL lol I fart like crazy also...he is funny as hell

[@Liamwas]

"im in awe, i dont't know what to say...i truely am in the precsence of greatness i believe, Mr Turkey...." FART!!!!!! LMAO funny stuff ther hi!!!

[@pwb54]

12 point from The Netherlands

[@errlloyd]

Yeah thats why we are the 4th richest country in the world per capita. Behind, Luxembourg, Norway, Katar, Sweeden.

[@ninjababy97]

how could the newsreporter take this seriously??

[@eoinclancy1]

go on ya good ting all the way to euro vision glory + i like ur joke bout sligo

[@hughmcgrath50]

Does a Turkey have feathers!? Terry's wig will be dancing a jig! Paddy Power Bookmakers are only giving 1/5 for Dustin to qualify for the final & 5/1 to win Eurovision 2008 & 7/4 for Britain to give Ireland 10-12 points.

[@Duckenheimer]

Does it matter? A decent song a decade is all that's ever come of it. Local music is nearly invariably held to a higher standard than the Eurovision...

[@DragonGod1012]

Go on ya good thing!!! hahaha!!!!

[@Griff6784]

Stoke on trent isnt a dump... kind of!

[@aaronjmcc1]

who heard dustin in with ray drcy the other week? hilarious!!!!!

[@stoneoffarel]

yeah hes realy is irish (MAN) cool acsent guy

[@rooooooonan]

don't get the joke with the autograph thing ... i probably ain't got irish humor :P

[@pavlova55]

nashkana you won't see an entry from England because they compete as part of United Kingdom.

[@jfitzy]

he's out of the contest!!! no!!!!! kicked in the semi final!!

[@abandonstrings]

Haha me too, pretty fair comment though.

[@WhimsicalShark]

Don't suppose you're from Sligo then..?

[@dan007brillo]

Dustin was good in his day but them days are over. He's gonna show the country up. I know lots of you will disagree with me but look at it through the eyes of ppl who dont know who he is, they wont find him funny.

[@allydfc12]

What oldpossum means is that for people wh aren't Irish he is difficult to understand...

[@comicgenius21]

Unlucky Dustin!!!! - cold turkey will be the headline tomorrow anyway...

[@irishmagoo81]

Sligo is on the Northwest coast of ireland u plank.. obviously dont know anything about it if u dont know where it is

[@borgduck]

Would have made this crap contest (& missing out on Dr Who this week!!)worthwhile! Apparently they put in new measures in a futile effort to stop Eastern European countries from voting for each other & these measures may have resulted in Dustin missing out! fat lot of good it did it would seem after tonight!!

[@mrbearbear83]

acording to my friends in galway, nothing. i've been to soke on trent

[@catrinedream]

we have officially as a nation lost our dignity

[@dropdeadandfly]

really, this is what irelands all about, if u dnt like this your barely irish

[@LauraGaynorTV]

@SawIndy dustin is real yah twat...

[@escandemor]

Hahahaha in 1:13

[@SawIndy]

I remember that. Im irish you? Dustin , socky, that wee blue dog and that black haired guy. I was on the Den once when that brown,curly haired girl called Catherine was on in this lit-up box room. Was only a tiny room with 1 camera

[@xhris94]

rofl "sligo is the equivalent of stoke on trent, this big dump in the middle of ireland"

[@errlloyd]

That would be fifth richest in the world. True everything is not measured in Euro's. The world bank measure GDP in dollars, hence some stuff is also measured in dollars. You accuse our government of driving the building industry. Proof please.

[@mrbearbear83]

Sligo = stoke-on-trent! if i lived in stroke on trent i'd be seriuosly offended, but i'm safe I live in Dublin (which no screens sligo people coming into the city)

[@TomC0]

Turkey, not Chicken.
