Podge and Rodge on the Panel

joejoem

Did anyone see this last night? I was in stitches. I had all but forgotten about them, there show was too much of the same, but they were hilarious last night. They tore everyone to shreds, including Ed Byrne who is the most boring comedian ever. And I use the word comedian loosely. I think they should be on the panel permanently. I would watch it then.

You stopped watching their show because it got stale, but you'd watch the panel if they were on it permanently??

But yeah, they were pretty good alright...

joejoem

everytime Ive tried to watch it in the past its been very dry, it lacks direction. I would definitly watch it if they were on it. Its like yerman that does never mind the buzcocks. It needs someone to lead it and take the piss out of everyone.

Ed Byrne is pretty good on The Panel - he's better than the Blizzard of Odd guy
was that the last ever Panel, or just the last in the series?

Ah the Panel was good, it made me laugh.

There's a new series og the Blizzard of Odd starting next week though and that should be even funnier. I think Colm Murphy is great!

yeah they were funny. who was the guy beside Colm Murphy? He had shreads torn out of him and looked none too happy when podge\rodge started going on about clubbing the baby seals.

Murphy is by far better than Ed Byrne - in all the outtakes, Byrne relies on anal sex jokes and innuendo to get the laughs - which is fine, to an extent. Meanwhile, Murphy relies on accents, impressions, and just all-round good jokes to get the crowd going.

To be honest Podge and Rodge were funny - for about five minutes. Thankfully they were only on it for ten, because for the final five I began to remember why I hated them. Did nobody else notice the puppeteers were just screaming over everything? Not a word/question got in edgeways - it totally destroyed the direction of the show. Nice for a change. But regularly? Eh...no... you're alright thanks...

E.G. "Hahaha, it's yer man Ted Byrne" *crowd laughs audibly*
I'm no fan of Ed Byrne - but wtf - that's just juvenile and well...****e.

i think the panel and colin murphy are good, as was said the first 5 minutes were funny, the thing about clubbing the baby seals is classic podge and rodge they couldnt have a picked a worse thing to say...

after that the people clammed up , "im getting insulted by a puppet omigod, that's funny, ill just watch?"

MrNuked

Watched the panel last night hadn't before.
Ed Byrne seems to be trying to imitate Paul Merton on Have I got News for you, even down to the haircut. Takes himself a little seriously for a comedian I think. The host and the NI guy are funny though.

I HATE Podge and Rodge.. they're just not my idea of funny.. guess we all have a different take on things but they really grate on my nerves. bit like Alan Partridge. drives me bloody mad :mad:

Re Rodge N Podge, It was the first time that show has been funny since they had Ulich O'Connor on it a couple of years ago. Really says it all about the panels usual 'quality' when the only times a show (with 4-5 professional comedians on it) is amusing is when the guests deliver all the laughs!

Still on the plus side at least they've got rid of Fiona Looney and that hideous looking yoke Kathryn Thomas .... tho one suspects those two vaccuous bints were only even there in the first place to make the comedians look good. No mean feat when you consider eejits like Ed Byrne and Dar ....ehhhhh.... O'Briain are regulars.
