    Amateurish so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 404 ✭✭dukedalton


    Terrible. Just terrible.

    What was up with The Late Late Show sketch?

    The Tubridy part of the screen was all stretched

    and the News segments look like they are film off another screen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69


    Much better suited to radio, he should stick to that

    And Rosenstock isn't funny so it ripping him off isn't justified


  • Registered Users Posts: 682 ✭✭✭LOSTfan57

    Rosenstock is the messiah to this eejit.....all his voices are fairly similar...like who the **** is this meant to be???

    Supposed to make him look like that lanky fella Tubridy :D

    He's not a bad impressionist, with some good writers behind him, this could be really decent. But that's RTE for ya.

    This is garbage.


  • Registered Users Posts: 682 ✭✭✭LOSTfan57


    This is unbearable ****........how is this eejit employed?

    Why do we pay a TV license again? Trash.

    This. Rosenstock. Mrs Brown's Boys.

    I'm beginning to think it's me....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    I am confused. Is the supposed to be comedy or some weird alternative reality thingy?


  • Registered Users Posts: 682 ✭✭✭LOSTfan57


    When did Varadkar loose all his hairline?

    Not great at all, how the hell he's going to get an hour out of it is beyond me. Was looking forward to it and all.

    I'm not watching saw the promo and that was enough for me - all the voices sounded the same...mind you Rosenstock does my head in too so I'm probably no judge ;)

    RTE tripe.

    Some fairly inappropriate references to not knowing where they're buried...I don't know how he gets away with it.
    Some funny Fianna Fail stuff in there too tho!

    It's a thousand % better than that auld $hite Mrs Brown.

    No.....its worse.....definitely worse


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭Shout Dust


    Callan just isn't funny, he can do some decent impressions but thats about it. He's a poor mans Mario Rosenstock, and I wouldn't be a big fan of him either

    I enjoyed Dundalk Abbey and then it fell off the comedy cliff...

    Thought both were acceptable myself but hardly funny.

    That was a great sketch, comedy gold!

    I wasn't expecting much but there were some laugh out loud moments throughout. He is not Rosenstock but he is decent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,780 ✭✭✭Frank Lee Midere


    He can impersonate. But that's it.

    Going by some post's I think they thought it was a serious look back on 2013, and not satirical.

    I would have thought murdering them and hiding the bodies was more inappropriate ;)

    Granted he portrayed some politicians as they actually are, I suppose that would upset some.

    Care to highlight a few?

    Now now Gerry.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,758 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Doing how clean with your house with Gerry Adams was really cutting.

    The Marian Finucane sketch about her pay and the same for Derek Mooney and his tits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,811 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    The Craig Doyle gag was amusing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 404 ✭✭dukedalton


    Callan and Rosenstock are just lifting stuff Après Match did 10-15 years ago and adapting it for the Mrs Brown's Boys demographic.
