It's full of foul language. It's quirky, it's smutty, but it's been described as an accurate picture of Irish men. Cue "The Horses Mouth", the new online animation show.

I got emailed about the show a few days ago. The programme has only been online for a few weeks now, but it's garnered quite a few fans, and it's already been praised in The Irish Times, on radio station Spin 1038 (who called it "Brilliant, Simple and Genius") and it's even hit the social-sphere by being featured on the Mark Little project Storyful. They themselves say it's just "based around a few lads having the banter".

The characters, created by award-winning Irish company Igloo Animations, look cheery but have a fierce mouth on them. Season two just went live and one episode is about, er, ladies' toilet habits on a night out. The first series treated us to a stories about a hyena, male hair-loss treatment and the better animal: a cat or a dog. The Horse's Mouth is quite simply a witty insight into the bizarre and baffling minds of Irish men, delivered with wacky graphics, and a real sense of blokes just having the craic'.

You may finish the episodes with a sore belly from laughing, or a queasy stomach from the content: but either way, you may want to check it out. You have been warned!
