I was watching fight club again last week and i was underwhelmed for 2 plus hours. I know it has some interesting ideas about masculinity but it’s actually fairly lame. Perhaps Brad pitt’s abs and the rules of fight club blinded everyone in the 90s.
Any art form/product/event which you think is overhyped?

Katie Taylor fighting, it is hard to believe she is a Christian and price of her fight tickets.
U2 in Las Vegas, just another gig. As for Da ve Fann ing rambling on about them another over paid rte presenter.
Some soccer or Premier league matches the hype way over the top and the match is so dull and boring |

What have Katie Taylor's religious beliefs got to do with the price of a ticket to see fight ..promotors need to make a profit
U2 in Vegas is not just another gig
Its the most advanced concert venue ever built and they asked the band that reinvented stadium shows to open it
It's been on every news program and every newspaper in the world since last weekend
I'm completely biased since I'll be at both in fairness  |

"Soccer
We are so over "
Irish people passionately supporting a team in a different country that they have zero ties to and where the richest clubs get to have the best players.
Makes ZERO sense 
Support your local clubs (soccer, football, hurling, rugby). They badly need it. |

That's why the NFL is so good. Being the richest club makes little difference to your onfield success.
But if you coaching is shit so too will your team!
Most overhyped Brand: Dyson, everything they make is terrible. They're masters of marketing! |

"So if someone "sucks like a Dyson" that's a bad thing  "
Yes
They would stop sucking frequently and not suck very well and you d be hoping for a replacement upgrade model to be available soon |

I found fight club to be a good movie the first time, akin to 6th sense , usual suspects, Se7en, it's the shock factor that made the movie, when you know it's coming it's not the same .
Over hyped , everything is marketed to death these days , it's quite often with low expectations that you get the best results.
Prime is dirt even the kids don't like it , but they need to try it.
The old phrase you get what you paid for is still true but more often than not it's the advertising campaign you pay for, not the product.
I was chatting with a dabber about this the other day, the gin market exploded due to this .
Everything is over hyped!!! |

Pubs (too many people usually d*unk roaring at each other)
Booze (better and more important things to spend my money on rather then pissing it up against a wall)
Soccer (I can think of a million things that two hours can be spent doing then watching a group of overpaid men kick a fucking ball around a pitch)
iPhones (your literally paying a fortune for an inferior camera with a logo on it)

There are places in Donegal that are stunning, I’m a big fan of Donegal but there is a very highly rated hotel and restaurant there, I went for a meal there one night, big disappointment, the hotel looked great though. |

"Parades. Thousands of people pretending like they've never seen a fire engine/tractor/bus before!!"
Ooft! One of our first traditions! A tractor with the doors open and blinkers on is a sight to behold!
Even better if it has a few bales on it. |

A good pub is the greatest place in the world and drink is great. It will never be overpriced. |

"Going out in town on New Year's eve.
It's crowded, expensive, never any available seats or taxis home.
Maybe I'm just getting old."
New Year's Eve?
Any night at all, Dublin is 80% rip off and 20% hidden gems, where you find normal pricing.
We don't bother anymore, unless going to a gig. |

"To the ones slagging rugby off, remember you are looking at guys representing your country better than any other sport currently, getting an annual salary less than some soccer players earn in a week, who put their bodies on the line as much as a boxer for their sport.
IPhone-good call  Sheep "
They're just some guys playing with a ball. I'd rather be watching same amount of guys representing the country at most perfect home building, best craftsmanship, best other useful stuff... does that make sense? |

Said it better than I could and if I had a dietician, physio, got to eat and train all day etc, just to charge into some dude in a different colour shirt every weekend id probably do it for a minimum wage |

Ok ..
Rugby if you like it , it's a great game, not many modern games have such a high level of strength and skill at the core of them. As a very small country we punch way above our weight, we are not just good , we are excellent. Tomorrow we play the Scots, also an excellent team. They will beat the hell out of each other and share a beer together afterwards. There is a lot to admire in rugby, a lot to be proud of. I funny believe anyone who ever played it as a team sport would never say it was overhyped.
We could potentially win the world cup this year, we could also potentially go out tomorrow.
I freakin love it . |

"The Galway Arts Festival "
I have a very complicated relationship with it
Having left a metropolis to live on a Boreen I love being 15 minutes drive from an opera and that’s why the arts festival makes possible.
But the programme is soooo pretentious. A typical description of a play is ‘ Audiences experience this riveting story through immersive narration, lighting and sound’ |

Obviously my point was made on the premise that pub visits and drinking be done in moderation like tonight when we pump the Scots. |

And what about all the other Irish teams representing Ireland ? They don’t matter ?
