The two bickering Gavin sisters pillage their Irish heritage to offer up domestic skits and 'aren't the Oirish funny' jokes while lamely trying to undercut their nice-girl personas with misjudged vulgarity bombs. When they reach an anecdote about secretly loving being forced to do a 'turn' on stage at family functions, it seems as though they are still there but playing to a much less indulgent crowd.
