Many of us will be familiar with the sheer agony of trying to rent in Dublin. The viewings, the extortionate prices, the weird smells… it’s all there.

Foil Arms and Hog have brought us another hilarious parody, this time focused on what renting in Dublin is really like – and it’s spot on. 

Have a watch, have a bit of a laugh, followed by a bit of a cry and then get back on Daft! Never give up!

TV3 did their best to bring us a taste of a second Toy Show this year with hosts Karen Koster and Brian McFadden.

So will it be Ryan and his awkward jokes or Brian McFadden trying not to kill Jedward…?!

On this week’s Wired Niamh Geaney is joined in study by TV Fanatics Conor Behan and Ciara O’Doherty. We look at the classic that is The Late Late Toy Show; just a PR stunt for Ed Sheeran? We take a look back at Connected with some inside goss dished out. Another week, another soul crushed in the X Factor (or 8 souls in this case). We look at why Andrea is falling behind and who is set to win. For this week’s pick of the week we’ve chosen an eye opening program involving Bressie which airs tomorrow night on RTE 2. All that and much more, check it out!

This is the best thing for a dreary Monday morning – fact!

Oakley the Australian Sheperd just LOVES Frozen's Let It Go, so much so that she wakes up when it is played in the car.

In a prank worthy of The Simpsons’ Bart, a Galway man has played a rather epic prank on a Starbucks employee.

Claiming his name to be Horse Box (as you do) the poor barista has a bit of trouble locating the owner of the coffee as she calls out “Horse Box” over and over…

We're not sure why exactly he went for Horse Box (apart from its obvious origins as a greeting in many parts of Ireland). That said, it certainly made us laugh.

Niamh Geaney sat down with chart toppers Sheppard who performed in Ireland as part of their European tour. This indie pop band all the way from Australia has dominated airwaves with their track Geronimo, even managing to knock Pharrell Williams' ‘Happy’ off the top spot in the charts. Our beloved Ellen De Generes is also a huge fan inviting the group to perform live on her chat show. Hear what the guys have to say on the Irish, touring with family and making it big in the US.

We’re talking flash mobs, brass bands and his girlfriend’s favourite Christmas hymn: here’s a man who knows how it’s done.

Guys the world over, take note.
