Never even cracked a smile at Republic of Telly
The worst thing is it seems to make people who were at one time funny into run of the mill unfunny RTE faces.
Really?
Yes really.
The ginger guy who is now on that god awful 80’s themed slurrypit of a programme was actually a fantastic standup when he was starting out. Unhinged, loud, unpredictable and always hilarious.
He has now become the opposite of each of those.
That 80’s themed slurry pit is fantastic.
It’s predictable lazy and barely even scripted. It’s essentially the reminiscing people do at Sunday dinner turned into a TV show. It’s rubbish.
If we all liked the same thing life would be boring.
Amen to that
Well, you could say that gogglebox is just a show about people staring at a tv. Very entertaining though.
What did you find funny about it?
gogglebox is not entertaining
He wasn’t a fantastic stand-up. He was mediocre & went for the easy gags.
You;re just seeing it in the clear light of day now.
I’m with you on this one, Steak. RTÉ can’t do humour. It just disappears in a cloud of smugness. Republic of Telly is truly awful.
Each to there own i suppose.
Mediocrity for the mediocre is what it is.
What is an mediocre person?
Mixing up opinion and fact again?
It’s bogger comedy. Have you seen the heads on the audience members? All mad craic altogether so they are
Bit harsh but it is difficult.
They have a small market & end up trying to appeal to all tastes.
They also don’t have teams of writers like the bigger UK and especially US shows.
Yawn – predictable “anything that comes out of RTE is rubbish” ranting. Steak & the rest of you, either migrate away to Journal.ie or try & come up with something interesting to say. There are a thousand trolls bashing out the same poo. We get it.
Agree. I saw Republic of Telly and knew not to click on it. Opposite of click bait.
Shame Gerry Ryan wasn’t around to interview her. Sniff.
Thanks for giving me the first real smile of the day!
I was just thinking about poor Gerry this morning. He was a martyr too just like Michaella.
Lordy, that’s very unfunny all the same eh?
This Michaela girl is going to have a great time taking out slander law suits against all the smart asses in the Irish media.
I’ll bet half of what they claim about her is completely made up and they’re just banking on good old Irish class snobbery to back them up.
Class snobbery is what has her fawned over by RTE and bought and paid for by INM while Deco from the flats is released to a halfway house and not even a solitary paparazzo.
Look – it’s a big story and this controversy helps drive ratings and the media/advertising world is in a freefalling tailspin down toward tabloidism anyway – this kind of story just highlights that fact
+1Bazillion
Deco from the Flats can’t dance or sing for poo. Hence our lack of interest.
She sings for poo? That’s terrible Muriel….
I can’t believe that was released as a teaser.
Clearly somebody thought that was humorous.
Ugh
You reminded me of Adam Buxton reading the internet comments.

thedudeextreme or Don Yu Juana?
I’ll happily take either.
The guy who says ‘ugh!’
P.S. If you like this kind of stuff, Adam Buxton has a podcast series, started last year. Available on iTunes and acast and such. They consist mainly of rambling conversations rather than gags. First episode here:

Bryan Dobson should have been holding that tablet behind him.
Video is pointlessly geolocked, of course.
