  1. D4 media shook with the thought someone isn’t speaking the Queens English.

  3. “An old friend of mine who, among the many other strings to his bow, is a comedy historian whose ancestors were performers in the British music halls, recently told me a depressing little story.”

    A fucking comedy historian ,get the fucking boat

  5. I grew up in the middle of fucking nowhere, the bog. Back of beyonds, country. Can’t stand these 2 cunts, who the fuck is their audience. The kind of people who request songs on the radio and go to league GAA matches I suppose.

  7. I didn’t think you could climb so far up your own hole is so few words.

  8. There’s been fans on their own Facebook page being like “ah lads, what’s this?”

  9. With only some basic plug and play tools, you too can create your own Two Johnnies content.

    Just choose from the following phrases and words to build your own milquetoast comedy:
    – That’s gas
    – GAA
    – Chicken fillet rolls
    – Copperface Jacks
    – Cans
    – 🔥👌🏻😂
    – Savage
    – Middle aisle in Lidl/Aldi
    – Country nightclubs
    – That’s class
    – Dermot Kennedy is deadly
    – Pints
    – Wagon Wheel is a whopper tune
    – Spice bags are class
    – Yup da boyz
    – Culchies are unreal
    – Father Ted is pure class
    – Marty Morrissey is an institution

  10. I watched about 20 minutes of it thought it was a bit meh but I just can’t wrap my head around the level of hate they get from some people particularly here.

  11. “AHH SURE JAYSUS BAI’S DID YA EVER HAVE TO PLAY A JUNIOR B MATCH WHEN YOU’RE PURE DYING OF A HANGOVER FROM THE FEED OF PINTS WITH THE LADS THE NIGHT BEFORE?! ISN’T THAT SOME CRAIC?!?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  12. Toxic Culchieism. It’s everywhere these days with these 2 eejits and those Chasing Abbey gobshites as well.

  14. Everyone in this thread a subscriber to the Independent?!

  15. When that whole GAA catfish story broke I listened to the 2 pods and loved it because of how wild the story was, but fuck me the banter between the 2 was brutal. Gave a few other EPs a go after and was one of the worst podcasts I’ve ever sat through. How tf did those 2 boring bastards get a TV show?

  16. Most of the people they upset would be lost outside the M50.

  17. RTE has only two views of Irish audiences and designs its output to appeal to either:

    1: Dublin: A hip, multicultural cosmopolitan metropolis. The people here are high-rollers, dress well, and live in swanky pads. It’s problems are all ‘gangland’ related.

    2: Everywhere else: Simple-minded boggers with little prospects, whose existence consists of living for a few pints and having the craic and the ride on the weekends.

    The Two Jonnies’ Late Night Lock In is most definately a number 2- in many ways.

  18. My personal hell is a “nightmare realm” but instead of clowns and monsters and shit its just the 2 johnnies, rorys stories, and cian twomey doing skits all around you for 3 hours.

  21. They’re much easier to listen to if you actually take your head out of your arse first.

  22. It’s mind boggling that whilst going cap in hand to the government for more funding they are producing shows like this.

    You can just imagine the rte entertainment production meetings for 2024: How about – ‘the two Johnnies do the camino’, ‘Baz Ashmawy goes on holiday to various places’, ‘Marty Morrissey drives a taxi’, ‘Dermot Bannon Route 56’ ‘The Body Brothers -Banged Up Abroad’ Perfect! ok folks let’s go for pints.

  23. Pure notions from the people giving 2 johnnies so much hate. They’re funny lads

  24. All the people making the “outside the M50” comment in defense of these lads are just proving how one note comedy has one note fans.

    Also all the people saying it’s simple comedy for simple bog people, you’re probably the same feckers who think Damo and Ivor was peak satire, shut the fuck up.

    Both sides, wankers. If you like it, watch it and if not don’t. Very fucking simple.

    As for RTE wasting TV licence money, how is that news to anyone. If you’re shocked and thought things were changing after the Tubirdy saga then I have a lovely bridge that’s just gone up for sale.

    Also what is the alternative here? I thought RTE spending millions to licence foreign shows was what we were supposed to be rallying against not homegrown shows(whether they’re shite or not).

  25. I like them. It’s mindless , switch off the brain content and resonates with a lot of Ireland. Leave them off as they clearly tested well on the radio and have a strong audience. They’re also quickly building themselves into quite the brand between podcasts, tv, social, radio, merch and festivals so fair dues to them.
