When it comes to discussing the heavyweights of 21st century Irish comedy, Hardy Bucks is regarded as a modern classic: impeccable writing, considered gags and an insight into small town living at the height of the 2008 financial crisis.

This iconic monologue from Viper Higgins, Castletown's resident small-time drug dealer, has randomly gone viral in the past few days and got us nostalgic for the RTÉ mockumentary masterpiece all over again.

It's comedy programming with a hint of educational TV thrown on top; if you ever wondered where the phrase 'gee-gee's' originates, one theory is offered up in this clip.

There's more where that came from. Eddie Durkan was prone to a few zingers too.

If you're feeling Hardy Bucks nostalgia, Youtube is your only man. All four seasons of the show, along with The Hardy Bucks movie, can also be streamed on Netflix.
