Paul Tylak - the most grotesque person (in both appearance and behaviour) to ever be on television.

:eek: :eek:

Another example of 'quality' comedy by RTÉ. :rolleyes:

brilliant. Someone else who sees the light. What a horrible lump of a man. That could be forgiven if he was funny, but he's not.

I don't know!!!

I like the Dublin Woman!

A goooooo on! give him a gooo!

The election campaign I was smiling at.

The singing guy in the old folks home is also kind of funny, well the patients are. I don't know if its PC to laugh at the incapaciated!!!!????? but I think their laughing too.

However I cann't say anything else thats good about this show.

Lets not mention the Fr. Ted connection.

I think RTE have really let them selves down with this. What a load of chessy stupid crappy comedy. What have mondays nights on RTE2 come too.....?:(

Wow, this topic is very disheartening. And I wondered why they didn't bring out a DVD of series 1 at Christmas.

Well, I personally love this show. The catchphrases are great ("typically Irish. Now, if this was...", "Why don't you just go and live with the bloody...", "Ah go on, give him a go", "sure, the same thing happened in Tullamore last week" etc ) And sketches like the junkie politicians and the students have me in stitches. Sure, I'm probably gonna get blasted for admitting this, but that's how I am! It's the best comedy I've ever seen on RTE anyway.

And I honestly believe that if it was English, it'd be huge. (haha... Typically Irish. If this was England now, it'd be top of the airwaves. The queen would be quoting it to her manservants and David Beckham would be licking Paul Woodfull's shoes. Typical...)

It's better than Little Britain in that it's a LOT less repetitive. They have a lot more one-off sketches, whereas in Little Britain, you know exactly who's going to be next with their same jokes.

All the characters are real too...the FM104 breakfast crew, the moany neighbour, the nosy woman looking out her window... And the touch of the surreal in the magic handiman fella is just great.


Well, I can't be standing here all day. SOME of us have work to do.

Amen to that. Those radio presenting duo are terrible - it wasn't funny the first time, why would it be funny the 50th? And what's the whole thing about those people who stretch out their words? The 'joke' is buried so deep there, it's impossible to find.

orangerooster

In an absolutely horrifying twist the idiots who make this show have managed to make it even worse than the first series. One of the worst things rte have ever had a hand in and thats saying something!

shuushh

i watched this last night there were a couple of laughs especially the bit with the politician and the three junkies and also the "ah gwan give him a go will ya" character

Somebody has to clue them in, god it probably would have been slightly funny 10 years ago. I am amazed at the crap that RTE waste money on. Fair City and Stew is just proof of good money wasted!!!

I hate the way things come down to money.

I think RTE have actually produced some good comedies over the past five years or so. You get one bad one and everyone is down on them like a tone of bricks.

Lets not mention the Fr. Ted Connection

I think you had to have watched a few episodes to get into the humour and understand the characters.


The guys who stretch their words, whoever asked, are stoner students. That's the way they talk. And the joke is yerman trying to fit in so badly but he hasn't got a clue how to. (even though there's technically no rule as to what words to stretch to *fit in*)

for those of you who insist on watching this utter tripe, are you in 4 channel land and have no choice but to watch the muck RTE produce or do you insist on watching everything RTE produce out of some misplaced sense of patriotism? I cannot understand how anyone can watch this show. I get the impression that some people on here are so used to watching RTE crap that they are desensitised to it's utter crapness and don't actually realise just how bad it is.

It's the only programme I watch on RTE!

Yeah, its really poor, not funny at all. There can one or two cheap laughs but to be honest that hardly warrants sitting through 30 minutes of what is generally speaking a terrible, terrible sketch show.

Em, shouldn't that be "you're"...

I hate stew with a passion. :mad:

Seen about 2 minutes of it last night - I wish I hadn't.

orangerooster

Managed to be in the unfortunate situation of being in the same room as a telly with this on it for a few minutes last night. Still rubbish and I hope to god Im never in the situation to give it another chance.

It's not to bad considering RTE's history of Sh1t commedy. Having said that the format is about 15 years old and is a clear rip-off a Fast Show type of format. So ultimately I'd say it's crap.
