Hardy Bucks deserve it...lookin over the first 3 episodes...feckin classic...

upmeath · 02-04-2009 12:32am

Storyland appears to be a knock-out competition, personally I reckon it might be RTE looking for an heir to the 10 minute slots Langerland has had a monopoly on for so long. I've been watching these Bucks since a mate from Ballina showed me the Western People article promoting them a few months back (I'm from Meath myself) and I reckon they're capable of delivering much more, there's any amount of scope for a series of 30 minute comedies about the oddities and quirkiness of life in rural Ireland. Fair play to them!

bgerry · 10-04-2009 10:42pm

Would love to see how Hardy Bucks spend good friday. Schtokin up!

mardybumbum · 10-04-2009 10:49pm

Well apparently they were filming the new episode in Kiltimagh today!

de5p0i1er · 11-04-2009 2:57am

offaly1 · 20-04-2009 8:31am

They are a mad as a box of frogs.....Hilarious Shtuff!!!

:D

Shiminay · 20-04-2009 4:22pm

It's pretty good, but it's certainly not original - it's Trailer Park Boys set in Mayo. However, I found myself laughing a lot and I don't offer criticism, just something for you to compare it to

biko · 20-04-2009 4:28pm

I'm one of those that like local humour.
A sketch is funnier if it's set in Galway/Mayo/Ireland rather than America.
The accents are great

The accents are even better when ya find out the Eddie (Martin Maloney) and the Viper (Chris Torduff) have English accents!!:eek::eek: There accents are brilliant!

The Trailer Park Boys are set in Canada.....not America.

That being said, there could be a market in the States for the Hardy Bucks.

Samhain · 21-04-2009 8:30pm

I think they ham up the accent a bit too much, after a while it starts to grate. Some people here do speak like that, but not everyone. If they concentrated more on what they say rather than they way they say it, it would be alot funnier.

offaly1 · 21-04-2009 8:36pm

Love the accents! Brings back memories of going around "castletown" nd into the butchers/Londis/centra when down on the hols!!!

the wesht rocks!!!:D

Went to college with one of them lads, great show.

chilloutman · 29-05-2009 12:56pm

yurmothrintites · 30-05-2009 11:18pm

It reminds me of the wikipedia of Swinford that was featured on The Panel. They have it here documented...

Hardy Bucks have a new preview of Episode 3, I think.

www.rte.ie/storyland

Blackjack · 05-06-2009 11:16pm

All their stuff is on http://www.youtube.com/user/hardybucks

very funny Stuff.

Samhain · 10-06-2009 6:06pm

Episode 3 is now on the Storyland website, not as good as the first 2 storyland episodes imo. Thought it was a bit pants how they had to bleep out swearwords for this one, it took away from it big time. Yer man who plays the viper is gas. Still voted for them though, would be cool to see them win.

mardybumbum · 11-06-2009 1:57am

Watch the full version of the episode on youtube. Its much better than the storyland edit.

Shiminay · 11-06-2009 1:52pm

This *bleep* nonsense has ruined the thing. Still, a good episode this time round, definitely got my vote. Rental Boys went out the window with me when they ripped off Star-Wars Kid and tried to make it funny.

A-Train · 25-06-2009 9:48pm

One of the lads told me about this on Tuesday watched them all and thought it was very good! Not one most of the time for Irish humour shows so this was quite surprising!

Very similar to Trailer Park Boys which is only a good thing.

Shiminay · 25-06-2009 10:38pm

It *is* Trailer Park Boys, it's just set in Mayo

de5p0i1er · 15-07-2009 1:55pm

They will be guest compere for a gig in the The failte Suite, Welcome Inn hotel on the 8/8/09 featuring DIRTY EPICS plus support from THE BRAD PITT LIGHT ORCHESTRA and ORPHAN ALIEN.
