The Vincent Brown one the other night was excellent as was last night's George Hook.

[Main Street]

George Hook is much funnier in the real.
I have seen a few of their sketches after the World cup coverage, it all looks very corny to me, playing the same old record/formula, that was funny once upon a time.

[seafoid]

They take the p%ss out of everything. And watching dunphy and co it is all ridiculous in the first place.

I love their Brian Lenihan impression. And the skits with the English accents are really top class.
There are very few TV channels anywhere running this sort of thing. 

[Hoof Hearted]

Wouldnt be as good as Mario Rosenstock and Special 1 TV

[Declan]

Last nights Sky Sports one had me cracking up anyway

[Billys Boots]

They're very good as Richard Keys alright.

[Main Street]

I don't know about the Sky Sports characters, but the recent skits during this World Cup on the Irish sports panelists -  Brady, Stapleton, Giles, Hook were bland,  those sketch characterisations ran out of milage a long time ago and would need a good gag or punchline to keep it alive.  It was funny once upon a time.

I guess thats why they turn to Sky Sports, which I suppose can work for some because of the Irish obsession with things English.

Tonight with Vincent Browne

Play It Again Des with Andy Reid

Sky Sports - Wayne Rooney beats Maradona's record

The flip side of that argument is that Bill n Eamonn n Johnny have been doing the same routine for over 20 years and have flogged it to death. I doubt there is any other programme on RTE that has had the same crew for 20 years. Other than the Angelus.

Jesus that Andy Reid one is a classic, Reid did very well to keep a straight face

At least the Angelus had a facelift, 10 or so years ago.

the Trevor interview outside Debenhams with that English chap is very, very good as well
