50% of Limerick are rubber bandits

Or is that arse bandits?

Having worked with a lot of Limerick people their humour is all scobe. Gets very annoying very quickly and when you tell them, they cry.

Seriously they cry.

I don't even watch RTE, but is this the talentless sh1te by license fee funds?

I've been a fan of theirs for years now and I was always in the minority with my circle of friends in that they hated them, only recently have they come round to liking them, esp. since their slot on the Republic of Telly. The guys behind the Bandits are intelligent and talented in a comedic sense so the Rubberbandits aside, I think they will have a huge future in Irish comedy, be it writing on the stage or in front of the camera.

Here's an example of something completely different from one half of the duo.

I don't get why the Rubberbandits are being hyped up. They're not funny.

Asmodean

They are funny

Mr Tim Buktoo

A lot of D4 heads no doubt on this thread.

Rubberbandits are alright but will be cat if they're put on RTE, just like Hardy Bucks. Only thing I got a laugh from last night was Viper getting puked on, rest of the show was poor.

Hardy bucks are legends, especially the web episodes. The rubber bandits I couldn't even get through a full video, didn't find them funny at all.

They've got quite a following in Dublin among non-Munster people so you're a bit wide of the mark there.

Yup. That makes sense.


[edit]
Ah, as you edited your post I can now understand you. Unfortunately for you Rubberbandits fans do not confine themselves to one part of the city which would enable you to exterminate them easily. I realise that this will come as a blow to you and far be it from me to kick a person when they're down but I have more, what I imagine will be rather unsettling, news for you: At least one of the Rubberbandits lives himself in Dublin. And he walks around like a normal person, without the identifying plastic bag. Shocking I know!

I have a feeling I've missed some inside joke, seriously is everyone who says they like them just trolling?

Nope. Some people do like them.

Humour is very subjective isn't it?

PanchoVilla

Anyone who doesn't find this funny just has no sense of humor.

This one is a little bit depressing.

Rubberbandits are hilarious! But then I love Hardy Bucks also. They are both representatives of modern witticism and original fun. For me anyways

Fair enough then. They really are a bit like Richie Kavanagh though except a little bit less sophisticated.

Can you imagine if in Ireland we only had around 3 or 4 channels on tv, rte 1 and 2, TnaG and tv3, we would go absolutely insane, I mean we'd all go bonkers, throwing excrement everywhere with our bare hands, at least until x factor comes on. Hardy Bucks and Rubberbandits are funny enough when you watch them on youtube but as soon as you stick them on a very censored channel like rte they go to absolute sh*t!

I think that's a bit of an over statement in fairness. The Rubberbandits were the funniedt thing on Republic of telly last week and When I watched Hardy Bucks in a room full of students, they all seemed to be laughing.

But Maybe they were laughing at the ****ness of it all. The mind boggles.

I think that horse outside and bag of glue are funny in their own right but their talent is cheap. They HAVE to resort to bad language in a big way. Witt in my book is being funny without having to be filthy!

No they don't.

Unless you consider people dumb acting culchie sterotypes as witty & original.

Sure, Ritchie Kavanagh's being doing that for years now.

I reckon it'd be the wrong thing for them to do.
Podge & Rodge were v funny at the beginning as was The Panel but they both soon went downhill.

If I were them, I'd stick to that republic of Tele thing for this season and then run the f*ck away from it and make a record.....but not a total humour record.
No doubt they're talented in the studio, all their songs have good melodies and beats and they're decent rappers too.

I think best of luck to them, they're doing something different and getting people listening to Irish hip hop, however, I do hope they've brains enough to realise that overkill will bury them

This is a Guard, we just found OutlawPete's body slumped over his laptop.

He has taken his own life and it seems the last thing he was watching was the 'Too many gee' video posted on this thread.
