Last weeks was brutal i thought, real anticlimax whereas tonights seen the lads back on form.

Cannot wait to see Eddies Uncle back again next week, he was the best character on the web shows i thought.

This was a hell of an improvement over the first episode. Still not as good as the web show, but some very funny moments. As said above, there were sooooooo many quotes in it. I'll have to watch it again to get them all.

Funny funny stuff tonight.......

holly8

much, much better tonight .. though I love the webisodes too. ah, great to see swingtown on the telly

The Viper, as a character, is funnier than some of his quotes but the scene with him rolling down the window and saying "you look like you smell of piss!" had me laughing my ass off.

Cracker of a second episode!

That was a great scene with yer man outside the window going on about GAA training the whole time while the Viper ignored him.

Anyone know that tune the viper plays in the car......

Then the roll down of the window..

"f*ck off!"

Anyone know the name of the song playing every time the viper pulls up or drives by?

Geez I thought that episode was dire, real struggle.

AnonoBoy

I liked when the Viper used to play The Launch out of his car all the time. Wish they could have kept that gag going.

Can't remember which one but that was in the web eps as well. I'd forgotten about it until they used it here again. Brilliant.

homerun_homer

I thought it was worse than the first episode. A few good lines but that doesn't make it good.

A room of us want to see the lads be funny and do well but are just in awe at how awful it is.

kevthecelt

Yeah there was 8 of us watching it last night, and we all love the show, but it was a pretty terrible episode I must say. Too many weird things that just weren't funny

Ash.J.Williams

I laughed my head off last night, it was one of the funniest things i've seen this year on rte....brilliant. Think "the boo" is my favourite character...

Last nights episode was good I thought still not the same level as the web episodes but Id blame having to tone it down a bit for tv for that.

One thing I feel needs to be said is, watch the episodes more than once. I have watched the first ep twice now and its much better the second time. You pick up on things much more.

I have been a massive fan of the web eps but thinking back I have watched them all multiple times and even in the web eps you pick up on some really funny stuff on a 2nd or 3rd viewing.

I think we saw a lot more of Buzz last nigh, which made it better than the first night, he is the best character in the whole show.

Looking forward to an appearence from Uncle Mick next week too.

I agree Buzz and the Boo are great.
The lack of interaction between the main bucks last week made for a poorer show.
Much better last night.

This scene is absolute quality! The Viper is hilarious. Just uploaded it sorry about the poor quality.

ScumLord

The Viper was brilliant in that episode.

Even though some may be disappointed with it I think it's still the best comedy RTE have produced in a long, long time, if ever.

Case in point, that scene was done WAY better in the Web Series.

I'm not too sure about the TV show, since they are repeating all the same jokes and situations why didn't they remake the first few episodes as full length but with better quality and more jokes? The TV series seems very strained at the moment.

i laughed pretty damn hard at last nights...seemed fine to me...

(although it amused me....was the developer/golf course owner in the web series or was that an RTE addition?)

Eire-Dearg

The donkey scene was done very well I thought. Very, very clever.

Cool Running

Quality episode last night

One question though no one has assked so far is Where is the Ladybird?


She's as mad as a bag of spiders I know but would be good to see a love interest for Buzz

The developer and Aloysius Lavin have been done before in Episode 8 (The Interview) of the web series. It actually focuses on them more for that episode, good aul French Toast has a bit of a go at the developer on the golf course

Aloysius is also featured in episode 3 which is when French Toast is first introduced

have a look at all the old wepisodes here

The developer during the interview was perfect, almost realistic in his reaction to the bucks, genuinely seemed to be losing his mind.

I don't think it's fair to say they're repeating all the same jokes at all.

There's the odd joke here and there that's repeated but there's loads of new material in the TV series.

Where the **** was that filmed man?!

My conclusion is that last nights episode was more of a hit with non-youtube viewers than the first one but anyone who had watched the youtube series had heard alot of the jokes before and in my opinion last weeks one was more original

Ian_K

The funniest and most random bit from last nights show;

"Your aul ladys been attacked by a load of badgers up in the woods"

"What the fucks she doin up in the woods man?"

"I dunno but them fuckers carry TB"

"Trevor Brennan? fuck me man"

kelly1939

I really injoyed the new serise, i know it not everyones cup of tea. They had to include clips from the internet shows to introduce the charactors again.

It was about 5% of the original, pity they didn't manage to capture it.

I was wondering myself, have no idea.
Saw it on facebook, there is some Hardy Buck's officialish group where they post a few links to things.

The producer shot it somewhere in Africa while making a documentary. That's what I heard anyways and I realise that's not much use as it was obviously shot in Africa.

Threadhead

It's not a good sign if you're recycling good material from the web series but making it less funny on television.

I thought it kinda jumped the shark a bit last night and it's major weakness is still the fact that they're not putting the 4 leads together and tying the boys storylines together (which in the case of French Toast is literally doing nothing for two episodes so far). This is also what killed the last few episodes of the web series.

Those criticisms aside, it still wipes the floor with most of RTE's original comedy programming.

Useful.Idiot

2nd episode was an improvement on the first, still doesn't touch the web series at all though

phunkymonk

I think there is too much focus on eddie on his own,tries to be funny but not really...they should always have eddie interactin with one of the others on screen...he bores me on his own...

the lad with the glasses is brilliant...just laugh lookin at him

imo,Buzz is the man!
