Be it Karl or Robert ??? (I'm sure he's NEVER heard that one before) Secondly, surely this is a spin-off from Father Ted, your worship ?

A genre much ignored by modern day film historians and their obsession with "quality" and "viewers". Its hard to match as a kernal of irish nineties popular culture. Its got a supermarket AND Mikey Graham from boyzone. The two most influential threads.
