At first I thought, I thought it would be a serious discussion with Brian Lenihan and Fintan O'Toole and I was thinking "ugghhh, I can't listen to those idiots" and I was about to leave. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Aprés Match. They were great.
Barry Murphy as "Michael" is outstanding here, satire on a par with Halls Pictorial or Scrap Saturday. Love the way Brian says Fianna Fail, well old skool!!!!:-)
'The State of Us' wasn't the same as 'Apres Match'. It only featured one of the fellas from Apres Match (Risteárd Cooper) working in collaboration with Scrap Saturday writer Gerard Stembridge, so it can't really be considered to be an entended version full-programme version of 'Apres Match'.
satire is actually the most effective way to bring issues to people who vote but generally don't keep up with current affairs....of course it does require some degree of intelligence to read between the lines....and senso of humour never does you any harm. As Gandhi said, "knourishing anger is like drinking poisen and expecting the other person to die"
Im convinced that the apres match lads can impersonate anyone . Fintan o toole is spot on
Sellotaped to a tree in Sixmilebridge!

Barry Murphy is consistently amazing! One of the best comic actors of all time!

Cowen and Lenihan disliked this
how come there are 3 dislikes for this !!! its comedy genius !
Amazing how they can riff off each other in character.
Spot on as ever. Brilliant
haha when Brian Lenihan runs out of breath is gas, most of my family talk like that.
1 word........... HILARIOUS!
a weekly show would be overexposure
they're fine with their spot appearances
Great comedy there!!...just like Ireland!....A JOKE!!!
I love how from 3:50 the performers are starting to break character and laugh.
who is michael?
haha
hes my boss
7:54 - the impression of Brian Lenihan was spot on, very funny
R.I.P Brian Lenihan

They already did, it was called the state of us, and it didnt work out so well...
Rte did give them a show...and it bombed. That's why you don't know about it.
Sorry lad. Of course we should sit in the corner crying instead??
