Irish comedy, everyone.
Yawn. I fail to see the joke. Next?
Nope…I’m not biting this time, Broadsheet…Nice try…
More meh
Lowest form of comedy:
3. Sarcasm
2. Puns
1. Hidden camera pranks
Why bother writing comedy anymore?
Because with hidden cameras, the comedy writes itself!!!!!
Now excuse me while I hang myself.
1: Was the proposer involved? Do they love big camp numbers or was this a stereotypical gays love the musicals thing? Because if the latter – cringemageddon
2. Congrats!!!
The awful thing is people put time and effort into this and really really hopped it’d be great, but there’s simply nothing redeeming about what we’re seeing. Another example of poor commissioning choices from RTÉ trying desperately to connect with a youth market they just don’t understand, but actually nothing new there, except for a few slip ups here and there RTÉ have done a seller job in not really understanding anyone under the age of 50 for decades. I mean, actually, who’s this meant for. On the plus side, the whole thing does have a grand unifying theme, the set-up, the singing, the “comedy” (not sure where the funny side was) etc all amazingly cringey.
Congrats to the lads though
thanks for commenting here so i know to avoid it
Well done to Peter Foot and Hilary Rose for a third series of their award winning comedy series.
Award winning! hilarious.
What, exactly, is the point of this? Utterly unfunny, cringeworthy and deeply uncomfortable viewing. I bet the two guys are regretting it now.
The posh English lady? Could you imagine the uproar if an English show depicted a ‘drunk Irishman’?
like that has never happened? anyway uproar from who, a few geebags? who fupping cares!
miserable moanyholes the lot of ye.
Cheer up and smile
+1. Thought it was delightful.
