The Pauls are pointless. And I really cringed when the Paul on the right put the cushion over his crotch when they were showing the Braveheart mooning scene.
Can't stand the family from Blessington.
Liking the Limerick family. They seem like good craic.
I like the twins but think they're really playing to the camera, especially the guy on the left.

Sam Hain · 29-09-2016 10:44pm

Its woeful, can't bear to look at that over animated creep that is Paul 2. And those 4 wine swilling girls, they are just retards. There's no middle ground here, either total bores or over acting camera whores. Not one genuinely funny person on it. Even the novelty of the Cavan twins from episode one has woren thin.

The young lad that sits on the couch from Limerick is good, very funny.

Was tonight the first time the Limerick Ryan fella with the wild hair spoke "it's a titty"

ProudDUB · 29-09-2016 10:51pm

Am a massive fan of the UK version. Not really feeling the Irish one. But I'll give it time. A lot of the viewers come across as a bit self conscious, as if they are trying to hard.....especially all the Dublin 'wans. But I suppose that's only natural. I'm only a recent watcher of the UK show, but I'd say it took them all a while, to come across as natural as they all do. Think the voice overs are very dull. They don't have the same comic edge that Caroline (RIP, God bless her) and Craig do.

I also think that what is making it so dull, is that for now, they are all focusing on the telly programs and not each other. Gogglebox UK is at its funniest, when the families are all slagging each other off, June is nagging poor aul Leon again, Bev is bitching at Dom etc etc and the telly programs they are watching, are almost incidental. It will take a while before the Irish viewers will be comfortable enough to do that, in front of telly cameras.

i don't get the love for the twins.. the guy on the left is totally acting..

what am i missing??

i think the the cabra girls are funny..

The father from Athy is totally OTT..

The Pauls need to go for sure..

The Cabra girl second seemed to have her eyes closed all the time.
I wasn't sure if my tv box had glitched at first .
I love the two older lady's in Castleknock and the women with the two sons.

I can't believe the amount people eat in one go on this and UK show.

I thought it was ok and if didn't I will just not watch it again.

This would be my thoughts on it also.
Weak sauce, this show.

Nekarsulm · 30-09-2016 12:58am

Pretty boring overall. probably because of the TV shows they are forced to watch.
And while the African family seen like a genuinely nice family, I wish they had a cream, or at least a brighter coloured sofa, its hard to see them sometimes.

I don't get it, the entire back rest up of their sofa is white/cream?

Your'e right, just watched a bit of on IPlayer, and they have now got a white throw on the sofa backs.

Atlantic Dawn · 30-09-2016 1:13am

I'd love to watch series 1 of Gogglebox UK to compare how it went down. I think the main thing the Irish version is missing is a boozing well to do couple.

Taco Chips · 30-09-2016 1:24am

Surprised at the strong negative response on here. Watched this with my housemates earlier and we were howling at parts of it. The Ryans in Limerick, Castleknock women, the Adenugas and the Athy Family are definitely the most interesting. Agree with people saying to get rid of the 2 Pauly although I suppose they need some Cork representation. Second episode was definitely much better than the first, I think they are all starting to loosen up and get a bit more natural in front of the cameras. This is a good adaption.

Ive seen snippets of the UK version and caight bit of a replay of the Irish one tonight.

That boozing well to do couple are feckin gas. I thought there was definitely a gap in the Irish show, lots of Ireland unrepresented.

Raven Runner · 30-09-2016 1:43am

I hope they watch Fair City at some stage, The strictly come dancing has been done to death on the UK version I don't want to hear anyone any-more doing the theme song to Strictly ok we get it , it's catchy move on, Hope they take the piss out of the Late Late or the Ray Darcy Show they should do Ireland AM too, Vincent Brown , TG4 Ros Na Rún In fairness there's plenty of Irish televison material that would make interesting viewing they should keep the uk tv to a minimum.

Atlantic Dawn · 30-09-2016 2:11am

They do need to cover Fair City. Other big mentions would be Late Late Show and D'Arcy Show, biggest viewing figures of a typical week.

He said a small bit last week, though Jay was the best character on the UK one at one stage and he never spoke. sadly he got the Spanish archer off the girl and hasn't been seen since

It's boring. My missus would watch any old ****e and she turned it off half way through.

stargazer 68 · 01-10-2016 1:04pm

Love the UK one and watched it last night. We had recorded the Irish one so watched it straight after. It was exactly the same programmes they were reviewing apart from the ploughing stuff. Surely there were other programmes on over the week or is my telly different!!! ðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜Š

JP Liz V1 · 06-10-2016 9:47pm

Someone got a hair cut

RobertKK · 06-10-2016 9:48pm

It has been really good so far.

Tipsy McSwagger · 06-10-2016 10:00pm

Not one bit humorous or interesting. The U.K. show is miles better.

Autosport · 06-10-2016 10:08pm

Is that a new duo on tonight?

RobertKK · 06-10-2016 10:14pm

You could have a mansion in the countryside for the price of a small house in Dublin.
Not sure about a house in Cavan though.

Billy86 · 06-10-2016 10:14pm

Jaysus the Cavan lads aren't doing the stereotypes any favours!

YES! Haven't seen the UK one in a few years and forgot those two, f*cking gas combo altogether.

Yeah that's true, first episode seen and just tuned in 3 mins or so before the ads. Loved the 'if someone offered me 450k for this place... they can have it' one liner.

Looks like it. TV3 going for gay overloading. 3 episodes in and it just gets worse. Can't warm to any of the people. Lacks any of the humour that the UK version delivers. A total fail.

RobertKK · 06-10-2016 10:25pm

I agree with pro-Eurovision Cavan man.

Billy86 · 06-10-2016 10:25pm

Yep, Cavan lads looks set to be the stars of it at this rate.

Otherwise it's only a little in, but a lot of self importantly stating the obvious or literally just repeating what the TV just said coming from many of the others.

Billy86 · 06-10-2016 10:29pm

"Will you get down and have manners!"

...she says to the cat while we find out what semi chewed chocolates look like.

Autosport · 06-10-2016 10:32pm

I'm loving the 2 women with the Michael Tea Higgins tea pot cover

The twins are good aswell

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 07-10-2016 3:05am

It's getting there slowly but surely - thought tonight was a lot better than the previous two outings.

The Cavan lads are the obvious stars, but I also think the two lads and their ma from Limerick, and the two auld ones with Michael Tea Higgins are also very good.

Looks like they've phased out the two Paul's that everyone hated anyway and started having them watch better things, so at least TV3 seem to be listening to the general feedback.

Ann22 · 07-10-2016 4:20am

I laughed at the Cavan fellla saying he calls the wife a b1tch but from down rhe end of the lane! Really enoying this show.

sporina · 07-10-2016 10:51am

jaysus I never even thought of it last night - I watched The Apprentice instead - thats how much of an impression it left on me.. but in honesty I did struggle to watch it all the previous week..

Looking forward to the UK one tonight.

sideswipe · 07-10-2016 10:57am

The 2 women from the Liberties are really annoying- maybe it's just me but they seem to get a lot of air time and only seem to make silly comments and 'in' jokes between themselves, no real humour or insight into what they are watching.....and their laughing:mad:
I think last nights episode was an improvement, just need to get shot of those two.

08-10-2016 1:54pm

Quick question has Rory's commentary been heard yet? I've only heard the Deirdres voice so far

The man from Cork has really weird facial expressions.

learn_more · 13-10-2016 10:02pm

That sofa with the beer-holder pullout is exceptionally naff, and I sense they think it's cool.

Autosport · 13-10-2016 10:03pm

Im still not a fan of the 2 Paul's

RobertKK · 13-10-2016 10:05pm

I like the Limerick family.
