“The Fear is back for a fourth season starting tonight at 10.25pm on RTÉ 2. Trawling around the country the gang will be up to their usual tricks, storming across Ireland with their hidden camera and generally spreading The Fear…”
“This season will feature plenty more pranks and see the return of all your favourite characters, Irinka The Russian Streetwalker, The Nun, Fred Cooke, Sergeant Major and Jimmy the most annoying man in Ireland.”
“Joining Hilary Rose, Ross Browne and Fred Cooke this season will be some special guest comedians including Dermot Whelan, Karl Spain and Martin Maloney.”

The Fear?
Indeed.
My only opinion after the 5 seconds that I lasted through is that Blayne is a really odd name for an Irish chap.
I know a guy called blayze…. yes Blayze.
How on Earth they got both Dermot Whelan and Karl Spain I’ll never know…
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
TV Licence fees being spent on a bunch of pre-school minded half-wits travelling the country taking the piss out of people who don’t know any better. For the love of your God, grow up.
Look, I’m sorry RTE rejected your proposal for that money to be spent on shooting Nationwide and Ear to the Ground in 3D HD Holographic film but the whole “I, personally, as one person and not a member of the target demo, don’t like this and so it is inappropriate for RTE to spend money on it” is lazy horsesh1t.
I very much doubt that, as someone bemoaning the dumbing down of society, I am in the minority. RTE have better things to be doing than trying to win over the TV3 audience
That wasn’t bad at all if it was 100% authentic but if the patsy lad was in on the gag and playing along (and there was a slight bang of that off it) then add disparaging reference to Irish comedy/RTE/Karl Spain/Mrs Brown’s Boys
So hang on, people actually pay for this ‘TV licence’? I always just assumed it was THE joke?

I have to feel, that after forcing myself to watch the WHOLE LOT (yes, I did, I watched all of it), that there is a much deeper, much more meta joke being played out here. That this is actually part of a future production from Channel 4 where they see if they can convince an entire nation of feckin gobshites to watch the most awful drivel parading as comedy.
The clues in the the fact the tension in the sketch is totally deflated when Blane, with thanks to special powers resulting he has one of the dumbest names ever heard on Irish soil, is totally unphased by drinking breast milk or playing with a doll and THIS is what they use as a trailer. Those adverts of people describing how smoking gave them cancer are funnier than this.
