In Popular Culture
The deceased satirist Dermot Morgan, known to international audiences as Father Ted, did a much admired Eamon Dunphy impression on the satirical radio show Scrap Saturday. Different sketches had him engaged in apparent inane and ridiculous arguments. They ranged from his criticism of Mother Teresa for not being a real nun to his attack on the week's weather.
Dunphy's hyperbole is also parodied on RTÉ's Après Match show lampooning celebrities, footballers and broadcasters.
Oliver Callan also does an impersonation of Dunphy, of which Dunphy approves.
