Paisean Faisean

Has anyone seen Paisean Faisean on Mondays on TG4 - its fast becoming a cult classic in our house at home.

Quick Review at: http://www.tg4.ie/bearla/inte/pais.htm

It is unbelievably hilarious - the 3 guys look really uncomfortable buying women’s clothes. One guy was so bad at buying the outfit that he picked a mannequin in the shop and bought all the clothes on it!!

Brilliant....

Yeah eveyone in my family watches it, we love it, its hilarious

Ms Beanbag · 02-04-2005 11:51pm

yeah its pretty good. I seen a few episodes of it. Once, all three of the guys picked completely green outfits! It was a total coincidence...

OLDYELLAR · 02-04-2005 11:51pm

Last week they were in shops i go into in Waterford it was brilliant!!!!!!!!!

simu · 03-04-2005 12:31am

My brother was on it! Yes! Touched by fame! He said it was pretty embarassing. Funny show, though!

OLDYELLAR · 03-04-2005 12:36am

cool which one was he on ?

simu · 03-04-2005 12:55am

The one done in Cork.

OLDYELLAR · 03-04-2005 12:56am

am what outfit did he buy , id remember the clothes but not the place , I love that programme!!

simu · 03-04-2005 12:59am

He went shopping in Miss Selfridge ir Topshop - can't remember which one. I don't remember the outfit but part of it was a mint-green small cardigan that doesn't cover the whole back (I might be wong about the colour - I have a bad memory for that sort of thing). It didn't get picked anyway.

OLDYELLAR · 03-04-2005 1:02am

that programme is fantastic anyway !!men picking womens outfits funny!!

Winters · 03-04-2005 2:01am

How hard can it be?

Good idea for a show though. Nothing like seeing a load of fella's uneasy and scared to touch some womens clothes while attempted to piece together an outfit

Which on are you talking about? - http://www.tg4.ie/bearla/inte/pais12.htm

Sean dosen't look half bad!!!

Cant wait for tonights episode.....the anticipation!!

OLDYELLAR · 04-04-2005 6:34pm

I thought the outfit she picked last night was dreadful

I was so dissapointed .

Norinoco · 04-04-2005 6:56pm

Which one did she pick? Dont tell me she picked the outfit with the colourful skirt? - its hedious

OLDYELLAR · 04-04-2005 7:01pm

yea the skirt , and that guy was a fashion adviser !I was like ou id love to have a fashion adviser go around with me for a day and then i saw the outfit , my god!!

Norinoco · 04-04-2005 7:11pm

it actually looks like someone pucked on the skirt before she tried it on!!!

At least it wasnt that expensive...imagine paying 100 euros for the pants sean bought for her!!!

If I was going to pay 100 euro if pants I'd want 2 full length legs....but perhaps im just old fashioned in my ways!

OLDYELLAR · 04-04-2005 7:15pm

ha you are so right abouth that vomit thing!!
some weeks they pick ovely stuff , last night was well dodgy though.

Norinoco · 04-04-2005 7:22pm

The lads they get on it are what makes the show though - I spend most the program cringing at them picking out the outfits.

Have noticied that a few of them are from the Irish dating show "Cleahmas" ( Cant spell it), but its the one where the mammy / daddy picked that person to date their son / daughter....

Must be running out of single Irish speaking men!!!

OLDYELLAR · 04-04-2005 7:23pm

oh my god that show where mammy /daddy picks is brilliant!so funny .yea some of the guys are so funny , i wish it was in english though

Norinoco · 04-04-2005 7:30pm

Dont know if it would work so well if it was in english - it has that certain culchie charm when it is in irish.

Dont think dubbing would work either!!

Anyway , RTE would probably turn it down cause it is so brillent...they have a habit of declining good ideas (eg father ted - i think!)

OLDYELLAR · 04-04-2005 7:32pm

Id love to see my boyfriend goin on it , it`d be so funny
Its brilliant!

Norinoco · 04-04-2005 7:36pm

Mine has a fit if he has to pass by a girls clothes shop let alone go in and buy something!!

The first present he bought me was a hidious purple and white cartigan, I wore it for a day then packed it to the back of the wardrobe - he hasnt bought me clothes since!!

I'd actually pay my lifes savings to see him on the show...unfortunatly he hasnt a word of Irish.

OLDYELLAR · 04-04-2005 7:54pm

i dont think my lad would pick anything really minging but i doubt he`d get the sizes right at all.
Yer man though last night really took the cajke , like he was a fashion adviser for gods sake!

tSubh Dearg · 04-04-2005 9:11pm

I know for a fact that some of the guys on that show are GAY! Can you believe it?

My sister's friend was on it and she picked the guy she already knew. He was gay, picked the nicest outfit and she knew she'd have a hassel free date with him!

Just shows what a lack of Irish speaking young men there are.

Also one of the guys who was on last week was in college with me and he's as gay as christmas! (that'd be seamus the salesman who appeared to pick the vomit skirt in your link Norinoco)

Exactly! Aoife Ní Thuairisg's the name. They should make an episode where she models the latest in birthdaysuits.

landser · 05-04-2005 2:29pm

Aoife Ní Thuairisg... she's a grand pair on her alright

Norinoco · 05-04-2005 7:29pm

Anyone see it last night? the stripy jumper / blank pants has to be the worst yet.

The crazy green outfit was class though.

As for the Passion...will we ever see a Paisean Faisean wedding, like on blind date!!
