To be fair to the Brits, they have always been streets ahead of any other nation (at least English speaking nation) in terms of their comedy. From the Goons to Monty Python to Faulty Towers to Only Fools and Horses to The Inbetweeners, British comedy is top notch. Throw in The League of Gentlemen, The […]
It’s an oldie, having been released in 1967, but the animated telling of The Jungle Book has stood the test of time in the most glorious fashion. Perhaps the best thing about this movie is the music score. There are a number of memorable performances, none more so than that of King Louie as he […]
Scooby and ‘Raggy‘ are back but not as you remember them. In this version, they are all grown up and living a horrible existence. The entire Scooby Gang have gone dark and seedy and unfit for public consumption. That’s why Rebel Voice has decided to present it to you. The cartoon contains adult language and humour […]
For those Catholic Irish among you, the contents of this series of sketches may bring back memories. Mass is a strange affair. We Irish are essentially a pagan people who wear a veil of Christianity when it suits. We go to mass but usually it’s only so that you can say you were there, and […]
Give My Head Peace is a light-hearted take on the conflict in the Occupied Six Counties of Ireland. Comedy, especially dark humour, is a coping mechanism and the Irish of the Six were in need of an effective means to deal with their pain. This sit-com, as much as it has been criticized, is one […]
Any readers who come from large families, such as those found across Ireland, will know of at least one member who is crude and liable to say the wrong thing at the most inappropriate time. Usually it’s a man, but not always. Sometimes the worst culprit might be a woman, an old woman. It’s incongruous […]
In the 1970s, no one who had access to Thames Television and a TV in The Celtic Isles would have missed The Benny Hill Show. The bawdy humour shown was of its time, but was so socially acceptable that even children got to stay up to watch it. The Tory party apparently haven’t manage to […]
Commercials are the means by which profiteering corporations take our money from us and make us feel good about it. They get richer and we get poorer but at least we have stuff that we don’t need. To better convince us to part with our hard-earned cash, they employ many nefarious tactics that allow them […]
As bad as the conflict in the Occupied Six Counties of Ireland was (and is), there was always a dark sense of humour to accompany the violence. Such an approach is a coping mechanism in face of trauma. It often means that local people will laugh at things while others might find such behaviour wholly […]
The Irish among you will understand the Cult of the Irish Mother. It is a religious belief system that extends across the globe wherever mothers are found, but has its idiosyncrasies in each culture. In Ireland, regardless of whether you are from Ulster, Munster, Leinster or Connaught, you will be familiar with the ways of […]

For those of you who have always wondered why Frodo didn’t just take an eagle into Mordor and save himself all the trouble… here is (one) explanation. https://youtu.be/6ZrJPiq9QGM
For any of you who are not Irish, then the following video is invaluable in understanding Irish people. For those of you who are lucky enough to be from the Emerald Isle, then the following is just another chance for us to have a laugh at ourselves. It’s a sign of emotional maturity when a […]
