    Very good show tonight.

    Yeah i really enjoy this show. Savage :D

    Joe Duffy sketch is my favourite part but the whole show doesnt miss a beat as far as im concerned. I'd hate to see it going.

    The IRA men taking the balaclavas off was very good.

    The off duty garda's dress sense funny too. He doesn't seem to like the guards much.

    making fun of guards ( or remotely criticising them ) is only taboo on boards.ie

    Taking the piss out of guards ..... I saw a Garda booking him for cycling the wrong up a one way street years ago. That was Garda revenge for his street gag about irish police being gay. Sure listen to the siren ...... It's wooooooh whooooooo

    He had always taken the piss out of them and rightly so.

    Tip. If you are ever in trouble with the law for a small offence a choc ice with suffice for a bigger offence a mountain bike will get you off the hook.

    Guards are always a target of Irish comedians going back to Hal Roach and Neil Toibin. The hug one last week was very good.

    The Romans sketch was very good and then "just plundering today luv".

    The keyboard warrior one was very good too, planks.ie ;)

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    I liked the bit with Hector as an ancient bog body who had been ritually killed. "Whoever he was, they must have really wanted him dead." :D

    The equation of people with red hair with ugliness is so common in the media (UK and Ireland alike) that it would be better left to the hacks.

    For people who dislike McSavage, The Savage Eye, and who want him to go away, calling him a 'Brit with an Irish accent' would only give him more ammunition. I doubt he hates Irishness or Ireland but he does like to satirise aspects of those two things and why not?

    I think its brilliant,sometimes its a little bit intense but it allways makes me laugh out loud a few times.It takes a bit of getting used to and I think hes a bit of a nutcase but makes very astute observations about Irish society and hits the nail on the head regularly.I also like the funny way he conveys the patronising ways of the British when theyre talking about Iriland.
    Far superior to Mrs Browns boys or any of the other ****e on TV.

    I don't think it has anything to do with liking or disliking any groups or people.

    Best RTE production I've seen in a very long time.

    Is Monday the last episode?

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    In the last episode where the brits are portrayed as snobbish buffons in the sketch where they meet the Irish man on the corner

    idiotic to suggest that McSavage hates Ireland

    Do you know what the word satire even means?

    No he just likes to make fun of Gaelic Irish people and their traditions. Its a west-Brit tv programme aimed at middle class west-Brits, like alot of RTE D4 tv shows.
