Not being mean or nothing but this guy is supposed to be in charge of storm response in Ireland but look at those disorganised bookshelves! 😬😲

Out for a walk and realised I’m living in a real life set of ‘The Last of Us’ 😬 #thelastofus

1/2 2025 was a great year for work. We had a busy year working on a brand new Hanna Barbera series as Story Editors and scriptwriters. That was 40 scripts we were in charge of! We had a blast and worked with some of the most talented people in the animation world. NDA won’t let say more…yet!

New festive series! Drops tomorrow morning on @rte2 The greatest collaboration in TV history - Jason Byrne and us! It’s the absolute craic! But make sure you watch it chronologicaly starting with Day 1! Brought to you by #kiteentertainment

Best Christmas song ever! Just saying! Also the cheekiest song title ever! #zigandzag #christmasno1

RIP Steve Cropper. Here’s Zig and Zag on the Late Late Show performing’Sweet Home Chicago’ in 1989 as the Z Brothers! #zigandzag

The real mystery is why’s this Christmas classic not in the radio every day? 🤷‍♂️😂

Flashback 1991! About this time of year #zigandzag had their second No.1 single in Ireland. 🇮🇪 Such a cool moment when the much missed DJ Simon Young presented us with a cake on #TheDen. ❤️ The first song taken from the album #nevermindthezogabongs Available on all the streaming platforms!

It’s that time of year! youtu.be/UuFMuV_IQA8?...

Congratulations to one of our favourite guests we ever interviewed. The amazing @cyndilauper on her induction into #therockandrollhalloffame this weekend. #zigandzag #thebigbreakfast #retrotv #channel4 #marklittle

Local guard dog on patrol! He’s there every day pacing back and forth making sure passers-by don’t get any ideas.

The lyric video you’ve all been waiting for. Happy Halloween feckers! But stay safe!

Ghost Mastermind! Zig with his spookilist subject! #theden #raydarcy #zigandzag

Yes, we know he can write but can Ben Elton draw? 🤔 #zigandzag #thebigbreakfast #benElton

Well you never know what you’re going to pick up at a record fair. Picked this up at @volumerecords.bsky.social record fair. Along with a deal for a bunch 70s Hall and Oates vinyl. So good especially the hair do’s. And seriously, John Oates doing a sexy Prince pose long before Prince. Yowza

MTV is shutting down its music channels. Er, music television 🤷‍♂️ .We got to make our show on MTV Europe at its peak. Two seasons of 13 eps with music videos, sketches and live bands. We also cohosted the EMA pre award shows with Ray Cokes in 1994/95! Great times! 🙌

A couple of years before we even knew that ‘Them girls them girls’ would be a single we’d often perform it with guests for fun. Here’s that time that #Shaggy joined in. ( with our much missed co-host Keith Chegwin) #zigandzag #thecrunch #thebigbreakfast

We stand with Ray! #theden #zigandzag #2phat

So sad to hear of the passing of @janegoodall.org - she was one of the good ones. An inspiration. One of my favourite books is this one about her childhood lovingly put together by Patrick Mcdonnell of @muttscomics.bsky.social fame. Just gorgeous. #ripjanegoodall

@doublezcreative.bsky.social Lads, look what I found today It’s from 1989/90

TODAY AT 5! @cbeebies.bsky.social Dodge’s Pup School Season two, episode twelve ‘The Next Big Thing’ written by us! 🙌 Dodge’s new water bottle cover starts a trend in the class. Everyone wants one, but Dodge gets upset when Bertie is credited as the one who came up with the idea.

ON THIS DAY! 22nd September 1987 - Zig and Zag made their first TV appearance on #DempseysDen on @rteone.rte.ie That’s 38 years ago maths fans! Are you feeling old yet?! #ZigAndZag #IanDempsey #zigandzagday

That one time bass legend Mark King from Level 42 visited #zigandzag and Chris Evans in the #Bigbreakfast bathroom to play some slap bass. #markking #level42 #bass #bassplayer #chrisevans @channel4.bsky.social

I wonder if Margot Robbie ever saw the #Storybud episode we wrote about her Margot Robot? Well, you can go see it on @player.rte.ie any time you want. Narrated by the awesome Amy Hubberman @rte.ie #margotrobbie

Peak Irish childhood in a sheet of A4 paper!

Love this book series by Ben Sanders Just finished the third instalment ‘Mission Impossi-hole’ so inventive and love the humour and the style of artwork 👏👏 #graphicnovel #agentharrier #kidslit Picked up in @dubraybooks.bsky.social

Absolute banger from Fangclub 🤘🎸 youtu.be/f7wzPtimEMc?...

Happy album release day to Dinosaur Pile-Up. They mix killer riffs, nihilism and tongue-in-cheek humour with genuine sweet songs. Been a fan since they were a nerd rock band in the mid 90’s (see pic 3 😂) but seriously since 2008. Check out ‘I’ve Felt Better’ wherever you stream/ buy music! (I buy!)

Playing catch up and really loving the series ‘Shrinking’ Funny, touching and seriously sharp writing. And a super cast. 👏

Does everyone of a certain age say ‘It puts the lotion on its skin’ every time you put on sunscreen…or is it just me 👀

In 1994 #zigandzag got their own weekly video sketch show on @mtvuk Europe. We shot links, sketches and live band performances in the studio in Camden. Here are some concept drawings (marker pens on paper) by Ciaran to get the ball rolling. #mtvema #mtv #mtveurope #zigandzagshow #1994

Flashback! 20 years ago we released the third VHS compilation of #podgeandrodge ‘A Scare At Bedtime’ And on this VHS we had a smoking Spunky puffing on a cigarette for ten minutes as a bonus feature. Value for monkey right there! Classic design too by Noise Multimedia #podgeandrodge

Flashback! 1989 #zigandzag mugs available in Ireland. Did you have one?

We’re getting ready to launch another #zigandzag pop culture skit t-shirt with Hairy Baby. On ‘Smells like Zag’ design Zag was naked and had a willy. This new T-shirt also features a nude Zag. We got a note from the boss requesting a willy. (Not even joking!) Should there be a willy or not?

m.youtube.com/watch?v=-iEV... Need to share this with you. #ZigAndZag

T shirts and mugs available over at our #zigandzag store www.hairybaby.com/zig-and-zag

We’re already planning another t-shirt design idea! News soon! #zigandzag
