Imagine working with the guy. They cringe constantly and visibly because they know where the boundaries are like most decent people.

Clever as an entertainer he maybe ...but he can not help being a giggling knob of dubious sexuality. Something he has not allowed himself to acknowledge yet despite his massive ego.

He would not even rate in international broadcasting circles and will never find work outside of NZ or the questionable values of his TVNZ managers.

Haha are you a head doctor? Classic case, aye... He seems like a nice guy to me. He says things that unfortunately a lot of people are too stuck up to see the humor in, but when people get offended its even more funny... I don't really see why he's a bully, though. He just mucks around and has fun. Since when the fuck was anything he did enough to qualify him as an "emotional bully"? HTFU PEOPLE... Humiliating his work mates? Like giving Peter a bit of shit occasionally? Quick, somebody shoot me - I'm publicly humiliating all my friends!

Bang bang

down goes wbks

He's not a bully he just doesn't unfortunately know when to shut up. Slightly tunnel visioned if anything than a bully. He sometimes see's things black or white.

Would rather him than a boring PC guy on the show. I remember once he was away and that boring Tim Wilson guy was there. Pppfff....t.

I like the fact that he is un-pc!!

At least he asks hard questions at times and demands answers from politicians etc.

Paul used to piss me off.........but somehow I now find him humouring. There's a childish honesty about him that's refreshing. Yes, he was insensitive but at the end of the day he just said out loud what everyone was thinking.

Well, he made me laugh whilst watchin that clip. Gets my vote.

**PrincessBandit** · 28th March 2009, 14:58

That is the first time I have truly laughed so hard while in kb, that I've been reduced to tears. Sure, you feel for Stephanie, since she happened to be the subject of mo-gate, but it was pretty funny. I'm sure most of us, while the "good" pc side of us knows we're not supposed to laugh publically at these sorts of things, how many of us can't help but piddle ourselves with hilarity watching another person rush headlong into the pooh-trap?

I think he often comes across as a

but that was pants-wetting material!!!!

Anyone got a link to a pic of this unfortunate woman? Hard to know what Henry was referring to.

**Skyryder** · 28th March 2009, 15:37

The woman was invited as a 'guest' and as soon as she has departed Henry then proceeds to insult her by reading out viewers comments knowing that these were a bit 'iffy.'

Appalingly bad tast but then what do you expect from a 'prat?'

Aw c'mon, somebody who KNOWS they have a mo (and shouldn't) turns up and you're suprised by the comment??

(Kinda like turning up at a biker get-together wearing a tassled jacket - you just KNOW somebody will comment)

It's not like she had a deformity, she COULD have 'tidied-up'.

But not the best of manners on national TV I have to admit..

He is doing what he is paid to do - win share of viewers. By being controversial he actually gets more viewers. For some reason unknown to me the majority of opinionated people go out of their way to find objectionable media whether it be magazines, newspapers, tv or websites. As a result they unwittingly perpetuate the very shit they are trying to get rid of.

If you don't like something in media then don't respond to that medium - don't read, view or surf and for goodness sake don't buy anything that was advertised on that medium coz that's what pays their wages - ad money.

He seems to have done his job well with this little series of coments.
