daij only have 言うだけ野暮.
gg5 only has one instance of "だけ野暮", and it's an example sentence with 聞くだけ野暮:
"そんなことは聞くだけ野暮だ @What a  tasteless [inappropriate] question."
  Comments:
Seems more common than 言うだけ野暮, but I'm not sure that makes it really worthy of inclusion.

This is 大辞泉's example for 野暮.
I think it might be a proverb.

I saw a 言うだけ野暮 entry here too.
