The Rubberbandits’ Guide to Everything, Episode 4 of 4, RTÉ2, November 28th at 10.30pm
The four-part half-hour comedy series is presented by comedians, part-time pop stars, art-terrorists and viral sensations The Rubberbandits. In each episode they take one subject (Sex, Money, the Internet and Reality) and bring us their own absolutely unique take on it – it’s like proper TV, except filled with jokes.
Like last year’s Guide to 1916, the shows are 100 per cent factual, but without the boring bits like talking heads, graphs, or archive video of Bertie Ahern.
Instead The Rubberbandits stage lavish, no-expense-spent reconstructions and ground-breaking social experiments to deliver the truth, or a decent approximation of it.
Each subject is a jumping off point that allows them to spin off anywhere in the world to do anything – whether that means a man in a mermaid costume attempting to fertilise eggs in an aquarium, building a nightclub in a field, or turning Ireland’s literary greats into social media stars.
