I am Polish myself living in Cork but he is just great and this is awesome.....coz I actually believe there is a lot of situations like this. Its only a joke, not a racism and I dont find it abusive ! Its all about having a good laugh....
Just joined Extra Vision on friday. Lucky there was an Irish person behind the counter but still needed DRIVERS LICENSE OR A PASSPORT + lates ESB bill :)
As for Polish people, I don't care who's behind the counter, Tommy gone a bit overboard and I can tell you now that there's TONS of Irish people who take every bit as much joy out of enforcing every petty and mindless rule as any nation on Earth and I include the Germans in that. I've been over to Germany lately and found it amazing how easy, friendly and flexible German officials where compared to the Irish, who over the last 20 years have developed a passionate love of mindless bureaucracy.
@mogadishusneeze at the same time , comedy (like art + film ) reflects the society its in . The audiences response in more interesting than tommys remarks in this respect
I'm foreign national and living in Ireland for the last 13 years...and I think it's funny..nothing racist here..sometimes Tommy's jokes can make you feel uncomfortable,but that's the whole point.
@mogadishusneeze yeah , you can hear some people "approve" , some people are shocked , and some were offended . But what would comedy be if it wasnt contoversial were so "de-sensitised " these days that we need a shock every now and then
Kyle Delaney it's an extinct version of blockbuster which is also extinct. so it's like a shop full of sky movies you can take home for a fee for a while!
Kyle Delaney ignore that, extravision is the Irish blockbuster, but neither exsist anymore. You go in and rent movies for a few days for a price, and if you're late returning them you pay more
@mogadishusneeze He USUALLY (99% of time ) talks about problems with IRISH people . [ his wife GOSH + kids / priests / CORK people ] His biggest target is either HIMSELF his family , or other irish people . Its COMEDY
He didnt drop the ball, if an Irish guy was behind the counter and Tiernan made the same joke you'd think it's fine. The only thing racist is when people say its racist because its making fun of other nationalities. Sure Irish people will make fun of fucking anything so get over it!
@olliephelan Once again, agree with you but in this one, yes you can clearly hear the ones approve but you also hear the small minded ones make a louder than necessary cheer to certain comments he makes that are clearly meant for the whole race, which is a form of incitement. I've seen this happen with more intelligent comedians and they are quick to change their route or even identify and ridicule the small minded for it. Tommy clearly feeds it here.
In comedy there are no sacred cows, Is it funny and will it make the audience laugh is the rule and of course the more controversial the topic the better. But I'm disappointed with Tommy for his portrayal of the Polish accent here, I worked for several years in Poland teaching English to Poles at every level from children to company directors and have never heard any Polish woman speak English in the accent he portrays. I have heard on many occasions the accent he uses but from Russian women not from Poles. Does anyone else here agree that he's not describing a conversation with a Polish national ?? Not that it matters.
@olliephelan I see where you're coming from but this is not comedy. He's subtly putting across his own distaste of polish people by making broad comments which you can clearly hear the small minded racists in the audience react to at certain comments.

dannywodniak you're awesome!
Fair play. We love the Polish here in Ireland!

It wasn't a failure though. It made several millions a year until the late 2000's.

Its not racist at all, its an Irish thing, we do make fun of everything our own grannys , everything!

gas man
He dropped the ball on this one.
11 years on, do you still Feel the same?
@@RottenHedge to a lesser extent. I've since seen him live at Castlepallooza and laughed none-stop at his jokes. He's definitely far better in person!
I heard the polish were told they'd be deported back to Ireland during the fights at Euro 2012
Good auld Tommy! I'm Polish and me thinks he's a LEG! :)

He sounds like gru out of dispicable me @ 1:28

36 people work in extra vision and are polish
Im not offended at all... I actualy had a great laugh (and I was born in Poland)
@Cantona904 and now they are frightened to do so.
hahaha fair play so funny!!!! go on tommy!
And then when you eventually get a dvd it's scratched to feck and won't play hahaha
@mogadishusneeze yeah , you can hear some people "approve" , some people are shocked , and some were offended .
But what would comedy be if it wasnt contoversial
were so "de-sensitised " these days that we need a shock every now and then
ah come on very funny and we can laugh at ourselves as well
Solid point - Very True
@mogadishusneeze he doesnt take any prisoners
What the f**k. Can't believe I used to respect this guy.
If she sounded like that, she sure wasn't Polish, Tommy ;)

What the hell is Xtra Vision?
Kyle Delaney it's an extinct version of blockbuster which is also extinct. so it's like a shop full of sky movies you can take home for a fee for a while!
Sky movies?
Kyle Delaney ignore that, extravision is the Irish blockbuster, but neither exsist anymore. You go in and rent movies for a few days for a price, and if you're late returning them you pay more
What do you want him to call her, she is polish.. i wouldn't be offended if someone called me "irish" grow up
@mogadishusneeze He USUALLY (99% of time ) talks about problems with IRISH people . [ his wife GOSH + kids / priests / CORK people ]
His biggest target is either HIMSELF his family , or other irish people .
Its COMEDY
"Listen to me ya little stowaway!" :P
whahahahaha omg so funny.. -.-
He didnt drop the ball, if an Irish guy was behind the counter and Tiernan made the same joke you'd think it's fine. The only thing racist is when people say its racist because its making fun of other nationalities. Sure Irish people will make fun of fucking anything so get over it!
@lynottlives that is completely irreverent unfortunately. while cultures differ as they should, racism will exist
he sounds scottish when he's trying to sound polish
@mogadishusneeze oh get a sense of humor, nobody says shit when he's mocking ireland or himself,....
Hahaha
@Anrirua He's taking cheap shots tbh, his earlier stuff was edgy but tasteful, this is just cheap.
Polish girl with Russian accent?... B***? S****?... He is asking for: I'm afraid we have a Communication Breakdown. Dylan Moran rulez!

@lamplighteyes Well, same with me. What a disappointment.
🤣
errrrr it's a joke......

Where was the "mighty beast" from ?
Your overthinking it.
It's a joke
run themjobs sounds polish to me
@lynottlives set free your inner racist.
@olliephelan I see where you're coming from but this is not comedy. He's subtly putting across his own distaste of polish people by making broad comments which you can clearly hear the small minded racists in the audience react to at certain comments.
no I am telling you no... and Im
Polish
Hows this racist? Wise up fools.
Very disappointed in Tommy here...talk about letting us down.
His polish accent is muck.
Brendano Di Cafrio that sounds more like russian accent
