I agree there are loads of attractive women in Ireland, thats why I dont think she is so stunning. maybe she just isnt my type or something.

But it's not just Dubs to whom a lot of their humour is alien, I've heard similar from people from other cities and even country people. It's certainly got its demographic but it's a lot more fractured than people think.

I haven’t watched it but would be like an ‘Up for the Match’ type thing for the younger country crowd?

These 2 lads are just riding the shtick of the "small town local loud mad ladeen" character that has been endemic throughout rural communities the last 15 years since the crash. Everyone that lives in the countryside knows the type, young lads that come bounding into the pub/shop with a forced personna of jolity, loudness, the dreaded "craic". Its grand for like 4 minutes, but it gets old and tiring really really fast. "The Hardy Bucks" success was down to satiring this sort of character, RTE have somehow thought this sort of annoying character is to be celebrated and glorified, probably because their executives have never had to deal with this sort of annoying vapid character in real rural life.

God. There's always someone trying to intellectualise lads who just want to have a harmless enough laugh. So middle of the road, they would strain to be offensive.

'Everyone that lives in the country side.' Spoken like a right townie. 😂

Annoying, vapid. Tell us what you really think.

I assume the previous poster is referring to Bulmers. I imagine they were about to sign on the dotted line.... until the Tubridy scandal broke.. and everything RTE became toxic.

Drinks companies might be fairly cautious ever since the Bud light fiasco in the US.

There is a long delayed piece of legislation going through the Dail regarding Drink sponsorship, (RTE don't ever mention it, naturally), but I imagine RTE were hoping to sneak in one last big pay day.

I wouldn't fancy working in RTE's commercial dept. in the brave new world of having to actually make money.

But every cloud has a silver lining, so lets hope its the end of the RTE #woke agenda for starters... for example... Who really watchs Women's sport? Women certainly don't and men just watch out of curiosity or voyeurism (they all have lovely bottoms) .
