I can't say the likes of Dublin comedians such as Ross O'Carroll Kelly, Katherine Lynch or Brendan O'Caroll have ever evoked more than a sigh of pure and utter despair from me when I've had to watch/listen to them for more than 20 seconds.
Ok, fair enough, each to their own.
P.S. Katherine Lynch is from Roscommom or somewhere.We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

They from Limerick City. You appear to be of the perverse opinion that there are no other cities in Ireland apart from Dublin and that everyone who lives outside the Pale is some sort of primitive neanderthalThe new Richie Kavanagh, the country folk love this shít. Glad I'm out of the country at the moment.
:rolleyes:
And yeah, Rubberbandits, Richie Kavanagh - i can totally see the likeness

This show has improved. There are still some issues with it but it fairly watchable and enjoyable all the same. There isn't anything you haven't seen before but that shouldn't be a criticism of the show.
The Rubber Bandits song isn't bad, but I don't think its very funny. I don't get the plastic bags. Why do they have them come on to the set for only 2 - 3 minutes? along with Jennifer Maguire for things that shouldn't be but are.
The Enda Kenny Bedtime Story is good but over done.
Anyway if your really wanted you could be really critical, take a look at my TBBT thread and really it got me know where.

I find him annoying and unfunny but I possible can't say that because he isn't from the back end of Ireland and possibly doesn't have a huge following of culchies following him. I suppose I should feel embarrassed for the English. :rolleyes:0 -
And what about Dara O'Briain, Ed Byrne, David O'Doherty, David McSavage etc? Why do you mention Brendan O'Carroll and not this lot?
Man you must be so sickened by the way the rubber bandits have exploded. I spent the past 40 minutes following the thread and the the anger and resentment you've displayed towards the rubberbandits/limerick/working class people/culchies and it appears anyone who doesn't come from the intellectual stronghold that is Dublin. After the 'Horse Outside' video came out and the thing went mega I noticed you kind of went missing for a few days, then back on again with the same tired line that only boggers would get this and the outrageous assumption that there is only one accent in a city like Limerick. As someone on here said 'does everyone in Dublin speak with Ballymun accents.'
Now since last week unless you ve had your head up your hole you ll have heard Blindboy on the Joe Duffy show and seen the recording of said show on you tube. [90 000 viewers speaking of the acute intelligence of BlindBoy Boatclub] He explained the meaning and in fact reason why artists make art and why often people miss the point. People like you and Joe Duffy and your pals like Anthony. Finally, the Dublin comedians you refer, 2 in particular Dara O brian and David doherty, have all emphatically endorsed the rubberbanits with O brian going out of his way to big them up on british breakfast TV last week. And if that wasn't enough Graham Linehan the writer of Father of Ted [I don't mean to be condecending by explaining to you who he is but there's nothing in your posts so far to suggest that you might be informed of such things] tweeted of blindboys genius yesterday.
Remember prejudice and anger will always get in the way of understanding art, in particular comedy when the work is deeply ironic. Often the viewer's [you in this case] frustration is not caused by the art itself but the people who are making it..I'm sorry but somehow your belief that they were inbred Limerick scummers caused an emotional reaction in you which didn't allow you to engage with the part of your brain which is needed to process this kind of irony. I suspect they threatened some part of your identity as an Irish person which propelled you to immediately retalite with the aim of distancing yourself from them. That's a reflection of how secure you feel with who you are and where you have come from. With all due respects you need to travel outside Dublin and visit other smaller towns and cities around Ireland, you have been misinformed as to what goes on in them. Ireland my friend is a very very small nation whose children watch the same TV, have the same cultural infuences and most importantly are taught by the same education system. In other words the difference between those in Dublin and Limerick is minimal compared to the similarities. Ask David O Doherty, Graham Linehan or Dara O Brian to explain this stuff to you or go the whole hog and mail BlindBoy, he'll be smart enough to debate with you without taking it personally I'm sure. Peace Love and Understanding
Finally if the Pappy on here who has been fighting the bandits case is the same one who sticks up their vids on you tube fair play i notice some of those vids are a few years old...you hit the nail on the head there kid...Yurt.0 -

Just skimmed through your post but not sure why I'd be sickened or feel threatened by the success of them Bandits. It doesn't bother me either way. I suggest you quit the amateur psychology as it's not really your forté in fairness. I don't listen to Joe Duffy and I've been out of the country anyway.
Merry Christmas. We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

Do you like Ed Byrne? Or is it just that he happened to get on to UK TV? Because he's fairly ****.0
