YMMV: The Lieutenant of Inishmore
  • Complete Monster: Padraic. The mention of his name inspires terror in Davey; everyone seems to be at least a little freaked out by him except for Mairead, who is a bit questionable herself; even his love for his cat turns into terrorism, as he imagines Wee Thomas encouarging him as he bombs chip shops.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: A very surprising number.
    • "It's things like this that do put tourists of off Inishmore."
  • Narm: Entirely on this viewer's part: not being familiar with the name "Padraic," it sounded like "Porridge." Yes, everyone is afraid for Mad Porridge stalking the Irish countryside, bombing chip shops, and avenging his cat.
  • Refuge in Audacity: True to form for Martin McDonagh. The play is as violent verbally as it is physically, and by the end the stage is covered with dismembered limbs, blood, and Frosted Flakes — over a cat.
