Was he forced to call his obviously Joe Duffy character John due to complaints or something, when that midget hopped up on his back, blew a horn and started riding and whipping him i nearly fell off the chair.

And how did that make you feel?

Oh you are so sincere Joe.

Hilarious stuff.

Well it's pretty close to be fair, it's not just the university challenge concept, the teams being comprised of prisoners can hardly be put down to coincidence.

I like the Savage Eye, but i noticed a couple of sketches in the first series which were also fairly similar to ones i'd seen before elsewhere. either way he's ripping off other peoples ideas, which is a bit pathetic.

Who is 100% original anyway? Who is perfect?

Young novelists rob, older novelists borrow.

McSavage is part genius you may be part begrudger

Excellent parody of Goodfellas..! Maybe Savage sees the Irish Football team as the equivalent of American mobs..

Loving this, on par with the Fast Show, Big Train and the new Scottish sketch show Burnistoun or the older Still Game and Chewing The Fat.

I was just thinking, the format of the show is really transferable. Would be interesting to see a Scottish,Welsh and english version too.

If you can call little britain satire...it's a very different satire from the savage eye? I'm talking about the exact same format...sketches interspersed with commentators and street interviews.

I just watched back this week's episode again... I take back what I said previously, it probably WAS the best episode Savage has done.

I just really wish that he was a more likable character in reality! His show is really good, but when I hear about the stuff he has done as 'comedy' on the streets, or when I think of interviews with him I've seen/read, it taints it just a bit.

Saw him in stand up a few years ago in Shop St, on telly doing the sketches, much, much funnier, he is like a Spike Milligan for the 2011tees.

But then it wouldn't be anti-Irish

I don't think it is necessarily anti-Irish. The ability to laugh at yourself is important.

I have no idea what this means?

More anti-Cavan than anti-Irish I would have thought looking at add for this week. And as Bertie pointed out Cavan is not in the Irish republic

It's not anti-Irish. Its a satire, a commentary on Irish society, not a diatribe of hate towards Ireland. It's a very Dail Mail attitude to think its anti-Irish.

Congratulations on the most inane analogy I've ever seen on Boards. I really had not expected Godwin's Law to feature on a thread about a satirical tv show.
