I thought the same and I only saw a bit of the trailer. They had a similar "comedy" in the UK in the late 70s called "Mind Your Language", based on the same unfunny bol*ox. It's about time that RTE realised that we only want foul language, gratuitous sex and violence.

Where's the comedy?

That was dreadfully dull. A prime example of sh1te on youtube.

Gave it 1 star cause it's not possible to give it lower.

I was half expecting based on your description that something brilliant would happen in the end to tie it all togther, but no, there was nothing.

I like the clip, but it's sad rather than funny, no?

I agree that RTE are so ****ed when it comes to comedy.

PS You can see my apartment in your clip

I think the foul language comes from the dwarves when they're running away from some drug-crazed, gun-toting psychopath who wants to have gratuitous sex with them.:D

The music the good, the idea is ok, but the acting is ****e. Yer man doesn't have a face for comedy/acting, far too expressionless.

Maybe its a double bluff.It wasnt a sketch at all but the OP is somebody blackmailing the fat guy because he knows he's a tranny and set the whole sorry mess to music and stuck it up here pretending it was done as a sketch.My head hurts.

Don't forget the extra few seconds for clicking the link and closing the window and posting here about how you want that time back.

The music style is a rip from trigger happy and the idea is as plain as a Bulgarian pinup...

You need absurdity for these kind of sketches to work...

No humour, boring, just ****.

What I did find funny however is how you slated a show on tv for being unfunny then presented that bollocks.

Some folks can't take criticism. You can read the original post here. Degsy quoted it.
