Bonkers and very sweet house arrest prankage.

“The Fear [hidden camera show] is back on RTÉ 2 with it’s third season on Monday September 29th at 10:30pm. After the success of last year’s Water Meter prank, we’ve released a taster of what’s to come over this season starring Hilary Rose, Ross Browne and Fred Cooke. Our characters return a prisoner on house arrest to his “parents” who are not that happy to see him…”

Wouldn’t it be illegal to turn up to someone’s house pretending to be a Garda?
And, without trying to be no craic, illegal for good reasons?
Does RTE’s entire comedy output now rely solely on laughing at the lower classes?
Mostly yes.
They learn well from the BBC don’t they.
What makes these people lower class?
Lower/Working/Nothside/cannonfodder – we’re talking in terms of Montrose’s language here, its all the same to them.
I can’t put my finger on the reason why, but hidden camera prank shows depress me deeply…
They are dreadful. ‘Aren’t you a big eejit for not realising that the scenario you’ve been involved with for the last 5 minutes is entirely set-up?’ eh, no, because I’m not a paranoid sociopath.

I suppose if people in their droves still watch this stuff, there’s not much incentive for RTE to take a risk on something different.

Only messin’, now if you look at the camera at the top of your screen and wave, thanks.

I love the fact that they made him a sandwich and gave him a bottle of water.

They even seemed to be getting on.
I bet if it got dark they would have let him in their gaff.
Prank shows were already out of date in the early 00s.
But RTE just keep making them and giving them a different name every year.
Oh good. It’s not just me that hates this cheap moronic shit@. I hate to be thought of as curmudgeonly.
From the same RTE that cancelled “Your Bad Self”
Sighs…
It’s amazing how RTE still think hidden camera pranks (very mean spirited ones at that) and impressions are good enough to sustain a full series of television.

The kind of people who think Jeremy Beadle was the height of good television.
RTE should have stopped hidden camera shows right after Mike Murphy pranked Gay Byrne. Best ever!
