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

these guys really need a proper show! a SNL style program would be class.
Amazing how they can riff off each other in character.
Spot on as ever. Brilliant
Barry Murphy is hilarious in every sketch

I love how from 3:50 the performers are starting to break character and laugh.
Cowen and Lenihan disliked this
how come there are 3 dislikes for this !!! its comedy genius !
7:54 - the impression of Brian Lenihan was spot on, very funny
1 word........... HILARIOUS!
a weekly show would be overexposure
they're fine with their spot appearances
I'm guessing thats based on Pj Mara, the dude in the audience?
ten times better than that republic of telly garbage
R.I.P Brian Lenihan
what was it called ?
Sellotaped to a tree in Sixmilebridge!
haha when Brian Lenihan runs out of breath is gas, most of my family talk like that.
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.
Very very funny. Great job après match
Very, very good.
who is michael?
haha
hes my boss
10 out of 10
