I watched my first episode of The Hardy Bucks on RTE last night. I had heard limited reviews of The Hardy Bucks but wanted to see it on the National Broadcasting Service for myself. After all, if the National Broadcasting Service, Radio Telifis Eireann, had found/discovered this raw talent and decided to bring it to the National Airwaves, surely it must be good?
My nephews speak well of The Hardy Bucks and my siblings speak negatively of The Hardy Bucks. After seeing some of the "stars" of The Hardy Bucks" interviewed on The Saturday Night Show with Brendan O'Connor I wasn't particularly impressed but I have to admit I did laugh now and again.
The Hardy Bucks is a prime example of appealing to the lowest common denominator. Making fun of everything in a happy-go-lucky way assuming no negative effects on an impressionable audience of teenagers and students. Alcohol and drug abuse is only the start of the downfall/appeal of this YouTube "success" story.
I will watch more...
