The Full Irish Hidden Camera Show

freshpopcorn

Anybody enjoying this on a Sunday evening?

I've watched all episodes.

I think to a lot of Irish people they are fairly
recognisable when doing the pranks.

Costumes could be better.

I also think it could be funnier

The Mass on RTE on sunday morning is funnier than The Full Irish Hidden Camera Show.

I'd rather watch Fair City than any hidden camera show.

I am kinda enjoying watching it with the kids. How more people don’t recognise Donnacha is odd. Doireann is unable to keep the prank going; other two are better. It’s a far cry from Mike Murphy

I think they seem to fool a lot of tourists/foreigners.

Doireann could fool me tough because I've zero idea what she looks like.

I actually quite like it though they could cut the bits of them in the car which are just filling time.

Was the Fear the last time RTE did a hidden camera show? That was fupping awful. This looks worse from the clips I've seen.

This is just so awful, couldn't bear more than a few minutes before turning the tv off in disgust. It's just so rubbish, it's beneath contempt.

I’ve flushed funnier things than this show down the toilet !

Jésus, I've just looked at a couple of clips. The typical "imbecileism" presenter that RTE loves. Can they not even look at professional "candid camera" presenters, that don't feel the need to act like children. Mike Murphy back in the day didn't feel the need to go around with a gaping mouth acting like a village idiot to do his stuff. There's also real professionals on tv like "Just for Laughs" (Denis Levasseur) that films in Canada which does it right. But there's enough of it out there without RTE wasting more licence fee money on giving us a poor relation of it.

Ffs.

Haven't watched it but it strikes me as a way of justifying higher salaries for the three clowns.

Doireann has replaced Amy Huberman in RTE's eyes in shoehorning her into everything, chance after chance despite being talentless and unfunny….whomever told her she's funny should be arrested

Its handy having Ian Dempsey as a godfather. Without him she'd be nowhere near the career she has now.

Dreadful stuff. Worse than Callan Kicks the Year. RTE and comedy is a poor match.

Was the one with PJ Gallagher before or after that? Jake Stephens the newspaper whistler.

Naked Camera, that was a few years beforehand. Had its moments, though it was dragged out to three series.

There was a spin off which PJ Gallagher filmed in the States as Jake Stephens, Makin Jake. That was absolutely f***ing dreadful. It made no sense taking the character to America, carcrash stuff.

Donnacha comes across as a right dope in everything he does presenting wise, hosting, interviews etc.,

I just watched a few clips on youtube. The term godawful springs to mind. Mike Murphy with a fraction of the budget was doing this a long time ago but he managed his setups to be plausible and convincing.

A cleaner who goes around destroying anything dusty would last about 20 minutes in most shops. Actually nevermind, Im not even going to bother trying to poke holes in their plots.

I was thinking just the other day RTE used to do some good comedy shows. Nevermind the Gondolas, A scare at Bedtime to name just a couple. Why don't we do them any more?

wonder will this last with Doireann leaving
