Irish Language Lessons - Humor

Found this clip from a couple of years ago and thought it worthy of re-posting.

I notice he didn’t use the word “magically”. I guess Dub was right.

:laughing: :laughing:

Bleh…what does Dub know. :stuck_out_tongue: That little leprechaun says it all of the time on TV.

It’s as if I was back home in Belfast.

That clip is really funny. I was wondering, though. Does it have any connection with reality, or is it only a humorous (at least to some, though possibly offensive to others?) treatment of some undeserved stereotypes?

Best wishes,

Oh my gosh! My son Darby and I saw this years ago somewhere on TV, and we still talk and laugh about it. He will be overjoyed when I send him the URL. Thanks for posting it! I’m overjoyed too.

Of course, I can’t speak for everyone, but I thought it was a humorous treatment of some well-deserved stereotypes. The only thing I found offensive in it was the guy’s sideburns. And the fact that he was outrageously overdressed. The rambling on for ages without letting the other fella get a word in is very true to life, and part of the national culture, I reckon. At least in the North, and in Dublin.
