Infantile trash,with not one redeeming feature, if it were funny you could excuse it, but the only joke in it is that some programme planner thought it fit to put on our screens

Find that a mad analysis. Everyone to their own but I thought that show turned all the conventions of an RTE comedy on its head. It was innovative, unpredictable, seriously clever, biting and laugh out loud funny. And it got the Irish down to a tee. I admit it may have been crude at time but....Jaysus.

I agree. First class comedy and satire and just about the only funny thing I can remember emanating from RTÉ since Scrap Saturday, apart from the Apres Match lads. Unfortunately, crudeness is ingrained in the genre now; that will change too, in time, but it'd be a baby/bathwater job to dismiss it for that alone.

Anyone see the soccer sketch on this last night? It was followed by Keano giving a good reinactment of Joe Pesci's "Funny Guy" speech in Goodfellas at Mick McCarthy. Funny Guys.

Very funny. Though I had to suck it up when they were having a go at the GAA and GAA types and slagging about Ireland being the only country that invents games nobody else wants to play.

Very funny, I thought the wife was going to wet herself laughing at Joe Duffy & the vuvuzela. I didn't know David McSavage was a son of David Andrews & brother of Barry Andrews.

For me, McSavage seems to be going in the opposite direction to most comedians in that his TV show is far better than his Stand Up.
Seen him loads of times on the street and thought he was very funny but seen him on stage and he was shite.

Just watching it now.

Did you hear Mary Robinson going on about how her Fanny's "trimmins" was more an "irish" than a Brazilian in that it was wild and full of all sorts of wildlife but would scare the shite out of any british invader
