RTE does comic relief

FixdePitchmark

Jesus - even the least embarrassed man in Ireland - Bannon must have fingers in ears and is behind couch at this.

Rats from Paths to Freedom was a great character, i cant believe they got the actor all dressed up in character with that haircut and then only gave him a single 10 second sketch with one line. Rats let loose on the streets of Dublin with a Naked Camera crew following him would have made for good comedy.

No Dave McSavage or John Colleraan either. The Savage Eye was one of the best Irish comedies yet we're served up Amy Huberman lip syncing :rolleyes: It really shows you who is in favour in RTE and who isnt. Its almost criminal that we havent seen a sketch from Mick the Bull or him as a priest stealing children.

Dave McSavage is more dangerous to RTE “stars” than Dustin

Do you reckon Jennifer could fly in that suit?

They left the best for last.

Partially makes up for the lack of this evening's glaring omission; Apres Match...

Atlantic Dawn

More man bashing.

didnt watch it after first 3 mins did it better. kind of be shocked if this thing was a success. bbc used to do a decent job in 90s.

I feel like I'm in a lockdown with RTE comic relief, unable to leave this zone until I see something funny. I think I'm expecting the impossible and will never get out of this room. Help!!

FixdePitchmark

Completely understandable - I'd say McSavage is banned from RTE.

He is completely nuts - and could say anything - I mean anything. ,

Like he could come on and say

"this is all balls, you over paid talent less clowns, raising money for non charities and having a laugh when people die of covid"

I'm not actually exaggerating there.

Would like be reading this thread out loud.

Ya I had to mute after 3 seconds. Sounded pure muck.

I wish I had said earlier that with the orchestra in Croke Park, Hozier had more people at his gig than Trump did at his in Tulsa


Ah well, too late now.

It's not. It's about helping people who need it who are, in this case, more often women.

That's all.

She's getting hotter with age.

But not point in RTE playing the equal rights card and then not being equal, crooked organisation.

Are there a lot more beards now?

This is very very very funny

Chronic. Off to search YouTube for Neil Toibin clips. Dermot Morgan also worth a search.

Don't neglect Michael Redmond and Dave Allen!

FixdePitchmark

Class -

He genuinely could do another series.

Whereisgalway

Aisling bea is hilarious

dirkmeister

Was Sarah Cooper the first one to do that type of comedy or did I miss something?

Edit: Sarah Cooper is class

Ahhhhh Rats, f*cking love him

Wishox

SCOOOPS ? lol loved him. Taken from "Paths to freedom" look it up very funny

You hear that ****e working class poetry all serious these days.

This was the original - but they don't get it is a joke.

That guard with Rats was the Taoiseach in a play I saw earlier this year


He was corrupt and infirm and a threat to democracy, still looked a better bet than Micheal Martin

dirkmeister

This guard sounds suspiciously like the narrator from Angela’s Ashes.

FixdePitchmark

Very very good

Have to say best to last , last hour good.

Atlantic Dawn

Rats is gold, they left the best for last.

Best
1) den
2) panel
3) jennifer dress
4) hozier aisling clip
5) rats

Jesus. Tried to give this a chance and have watched the whole thing so far; to say I’m cringing is an understatement.

If you’ve ever watched UK Comic Relief it’s worlds apart. Irish comedy as portrayed by this evening is just not funny - it’s no wonder our only comedic successes move to the UK.

Have always thought 2FM was geared towards the younger/immature generation but really didn’t expect this flagship event be run with the 2FM cast with immature humour (maybe I’m outside the young target audience?)

Embarrassed.

Is McSavage on - jaysus.

Must be pre recorded ?

When was it on?

Storm 10

Could have been funnier and not take a swipe at the Garda

Mine was Normal People.
The absolute worst was Pat Shortt.

McSavage is on then.

Shame that other gimp is on too.
