Return of Republic of Telly

fish fingers

Seriously, Who watches this absolute muck??
I cant believe there is a second series. Its just an unfunny Tv burp. I like watching tv burp with the family. This pile of sh1te should be dropped full stop.

I saw an ad with Marty Whelan as Doc from Back to the Future that I thought was funny... but I fell for a funny ad for the first series too, and got burned, so I won't be going near it.

That_Guy

It's funny for the first 5 mins imo and then it gradually flies down a ski slope until it comes to a crashing halt.

chillin_penguin

I like it! Think its rather funny but then again im easy amused.

Jordonvito

It's a pity, cos anyone that has gone to see a delamare show will tell you how brilliant and witty he is, compared to this scripted unimaginative excuse for a show.

vbunse

Same as that i'll be watchin too, easy to watch, the one that i hate is - The Savage eye - total crap........

mailforkev

Not totally Delamare's fault but it's an awful programme, and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse they bring in Mairead Farrell.

It's like finding out that your AIDS is cancerous too.

Things she isn't:
.Funny
.Clever
.Charismatic
.Particularly easy on the eye.

The savage eye had a lot more hits than misses. The Republic of Telly is just total miss

Minstrel27

Mairead Farrell was **** on The Panel and she is **** on the radio.

Going by this trend I think she will be **** on this too.

podgemonster

Delamere was on Ray D'Arcy today promoting RTEs next waste of prime time television and how much better its goin to be with this opinionated donkey (Mairead at his side). She can tell him how much she likes chocolate, hates football blah blah, menstration blah blah!

Why, are the getting rid of Delamare as presenter?

grrrrrrrrrr

i tink neil is very funny ut the show is so poor. i hate watching comedy progs tinking i could do better than that

WindSock

A load of sarky nonsense. Watched about 5 minutes of it and turned it off. Unoriginal and childish.

Great great show.One of my favourites,closely followed by the panel and two and a half men.

Closed ac

Just turned this on for the first time - absolute muck! That presenter is not funny at all!

Col200sx

Jaysus what's the point of repeating the same joke on tv as you just did on radio:rolleyes:

Mairead Farrell with her totally unfunny pointing at her tits but saying eyes as her best feature.

She is not funny and don't think she every will be. She's cringing when trying to interact with the public getting them to do their impressions etc.

Saying "Ah they're just sh1te" every week is just not funny.

On the plus side, fair play to Jenny Maguire(sp?), now she's got some balls, and I'm thinking Mairead is really trying to be like her, but it'll never work:rolleyes:

-Trek-

Dont know what Delamare is like as live act but that show is an utter fail, but to give it a second series?? seriously who is watching this??

whiteboy

after they showed that plastic surgery footage from last night I won't be watching this muck ever again!

Paleface

This programme is sh*te.

TV Burp rip off.

I pity the people who are in the live audience laughing away at nothing!

tipperaryboy

The programme is very poor but somehow he dosent seem to have to much say about the making of it.Surely he could do better as his live shows are way way better.

dubmick

Mairead Farrell has lost some amount of weight. I thought your woman interviewing the 'Celebs' at the Meteor Awards was funny.

staker

I've never seen him live,I'd imagine he'd be better than the shite he's aked to spew here, but that Mairead Farrell is one sexist opinionated git

Saint_Mel

Holy sh!t this programme is brutal!

The Lovely Muffin

Mairead is awful.

For the last two weeks (iirc) she's had her wedding/engagement rings on, and yesterday, they were gone again.

el diablo

Can't believe they brought this back for a second series after the extremely poor rating for the first series.. Pure shíte. :rolleyes:

To be honest I've seen a lot worse from RTE.

corblimey

For some reason, my Sky+ didn't bother with the first couple of weeks of this, but it popped up last Monday, and Lord is it not good. The sh*ttiest parts last time were that woman from the Apprentice and the other tool, so to alleviate that, they've added a third commentator, the god-awful Mairead Farrell. Nice one, RTE.

Yeah whats that all about ?
attention seeking or what ! or a very rocky marraige
The show is very poor tbh.

neil_18_

I dont like this show at all... I love Harry Hill. Republic of telly just doesnt compare

thetonynator

I actually love this programme . . .it is funny, and better than some of the other shows RTE have like that stone cold sober shít or the savage eye . . .

JONJO THE MISER

Jaysus Just watching the repeat there, first time watcher, holy smokes that Mariead Farrell is something else and what a personality, JONJO likes:).

The Lovely Muffin

They have to get rid of that stupid part with 'Bernard O'Shea', it is sh!t, and so is he!

Other than that it's all good? :rolleyes:

Denmark101

Republic of Telly? What a LAZY excuse for a TV show. More effort goes into the making of Fair City for jaysus sake!
WASTE of tv licence! If it had have had a series.. okay But an entire SEASON!!!:eek:

I actually think he's the only good thing in the show:(

migozarad

Tis awful garbage to be sure,to be sure:).Don't Feed The Gondolas (with Moncrieff presenting) is the benchmark in home produced satirical comedy.

DangerMouse27

We absolutley need The Blizzard of Odd back on tv...

To everyone on this thread,i fully recommend Newswipe with Charlie Brooker.Thats tv satire at its absolue best and shows Neil Delamere and his tv show up for what it truly is..televisions equivalent of a porn fluffer! ha!

We need a tv show to unmercifully savage the absolute sh1t on our tvs,Midday is one example,a good couple of broad swipes will take that thing apart.Amanda 'Tits McGee' is on it now..dear christ.

Mairead Farrell must have a contract on rte..unfunny on the panel,unfunny on the radio and now this.Its a poor Balls of Steel esque attempt at humour which does not come off.

They must think we are so stupid.

The Lovely Muffin

Thought it decent last night.

As I've said before, the part with Bernard O'Shea is sh!t.

The Lovely Muffin

Good show tonight.

Mairead looked well.

Is the apprentice one gone?

She seems to be on every now and then.

The shows structure needs to be reviewed. Why does Delimer have to do the "Headlines", far too many intros to things happening in the rest of the show. Of course scripting etc needs to be sharper.

Its a big improvement from when it first started but that isn't saying much.

@Dangermouse27 yeah Charlie Brooker and Blizzard of Odd are excellent but both are very different to this show.

The Lovely Muffin

Good show tonight.

Not too keen on Mairead's dress though.

This yokes still on? Don't think anyone's watching... This thread died many weeks ago..

I'm in college and its very popular with my housemates and friends.

Madame Razz

It was funny enough last night actually; Mairead Farrell really isn't funny tho and seems to be shrinking in size everytime she comes on the TV!!

The Lovely Muffin

Brill show last night!

Was that Mairead's wedding/engagement ring on her wedding finger last night? Or was it 'accessory' ring(s)?

To be fair to Mairead, she scrubs up well. She got a bit frumpy while she was married, but she's lost a lot of weight and looks very good now. She is a LOT better than that other wannabe Apprentice yoke that used to be on.

She split up with the husband earlier this year, so unless she's got back with him. ??
