    Yeah but problem is, if you're not from Dublin, you don't know these places. At a guess - the first one's snazzier? But I have to say the ep I saw this week was a bit better, all the same.

    Correction, "if you're not from the southside of Dublin". I've no idea what the hell they're talking about at times. Watched a few more episodes and I just don't think I'll bother anymore. Something about having pretty much the same joke over and over for 10 minutes each night just loses it's appeal for me.

    How could anyone compare this to Ross O'Carroll-Kelly? ROCK is actually funny. You can see how the guy read it and thought he could capitalise on it.

    As for the quality of the writing and production, it is EXACTLY what you would see coming out of Media Studies courses across the country. Good enough for college work but certaintly not of the standard tax payers money should be producing.

    Becs is a bit of allright though!

    Didnt read all 5 pages of the thread but I suspect for the most part, people realise this is the most poorly executed piece of tripe to grace our screens in a long time.

    They are not comic actors.

    Its frustrating to watch 2 morons make such a mess of what could be a half decent script.

    Yer man 'Dan' is the writer (or at least one of them) for the show. I still don't think he writes 'Becs' well enough, but I still enjoyed last night's show.

    The girl who plays Becs is not a trained actress.

    Anyway, I find the show funny. Not hilarious, but good enough to give me a chuckle.
    They are so far up their own arses that they can't see the outside world.

    Holy shít. Funniest ever.
    On tonights show Dan talked about Bebo and the muppets who use it. Gave hisa site address and now the page has a slew of abusive messages.
    I think the joke went over the heads of the average bebo user.

    His Bebo page has all positive messages: http://irishpartylad.bebo.com

    the bad ones were obviously deleted.
    there were lots of "U SUX" type messages and the usual retarded crap you see on bebo.
    the funniest one had to be on the becs page. some 16 year old from Maynooth asking her out because she had just broken up with dan. (funny in a sad loser type way)

    I think it's very funny. I went to Trinity and the characters remind me a lot of people I've come across. Really enjoy it.

    (I don't know the specifics of Dalkey but I'm pretty sure the joke of that was that Dalkey is Dalkey and it's all pretty much the same, they were just living under the illusion that one end is different to the other in their own world)

    The ironic thing is that if this joke was used in a manhatten based comedy most people would've got it, but RTE can do nothing right apparently :rolleyes:

    Seen a couple of episodes and thought they were funny enough. Not appointment TV but would watch again

    Well you'll be glad to know that a second series of it has already been shot then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭Minto


    ^^^^^^YES!! I absolutly love the show. Can't wait for season 2, suppose we'll have to wait until September?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 812 ✭✭✭littlesurfer


    Excessive swallowing is still bothering me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,082 ✭✭✭lostexpectation


    i didn't think this was too bad at all, the back and forth editing made it funny, hope they keep it the same lenght eps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,375 ✭✭✭kmick


    I don't think it is too bad. It is a bit of a rip off of Marion And Geoff but I still like it. It is miles better than a lot of Irish comedy and it has a bit of a guerilla feel to it. Plus they are taking the piss out of themselves (bit about fruit drink) so applausos. You dont get that in RTE much. Bravo I say.
