In 1941 my Dad from Liverpool was a POW in Munich.During this time the Germans collected all the Irish POW's and took them away for 3 months. On their return they had a story to tell. They had been taken to Berlin and given rooms in the best hotels. They had been taken to dances, theaters, the movies and all the sights around the City. At the end the were lined up and asked who wanted to join the Germans to fight the British. Not a single man volunteered and they all went back to Stalag 7A
I'm an englishman. Irish on average have way better philosophy of living in general per person imo. Least they come accross that way. You can talk shit to an irish person and dont have to worry about social rules as much, very empathetic and warm country. Dont get me wrong, in england there are plenty too but is harder to find an irishman that isnt.
He's right about the prejudice. I'm Scots-Irish, and I had an English friend who used to say, there's so much Scotch whiskey because the Scots are too stingy to drink it and there's not as much Irish whiskey because the Irish drink it all. I use this joke when I tour distilleries.
Dr. Francis Rynd was a doctor at Dublin’s Meath Hospital. In May 1844, he developed a drip needle for introducing drugs into a vein. Up to that time,for the most part, drugs could only be administered orally. In 1845, Dr. Rynd published an article in the ‘Dublin Medical Press‘ reporting how he had successfully used a hypodermic syringe to inject fluids into a patient. This was eight years before Alexander Wood, who has mistakenly been credited with inventing the first Hypodermic syringe in 1853.
"AGH, IT'S FIERCE MILD!" LMAO I've been using that one at every opportunity since seeing this :D Also the way he says "What the fuck are you doing?!" in such a demanding tone is hilarious! :D
I'm loving the number of internet tough guys on here who wouldn't have the balls to say any of this to an English/Irish person's face. As for Moran, he's a comedian. He does as much self depricating material on the Irish as he does on any other nationality. Probably more so as he has an actual frame of reference with regards to the Irish. Now lighten up all you.
+Cosmic Lino hang on they may not steal countries but they have completely taken New York for themselves which is a pretty big deal lol (light hearted joke nothing serious meant)
Fuck you we earned New York and we Irish never killed anyone to get a place, we are civil like that, look at New England, just like Cromwell you bastards slaughtered Navajo Indians for land that didn't belong to you, an era later the Irish helped build America and at least restore some fair, peaceful 'good spirited' ground you English stole out of that land. The Irish working class who stifled and slaved to help build those skyscrapers through graft did it for their starving families and have the British to blame for that famine that drove us to New York, London and north americas States. We even build up 50% of modern London and Liverpool and Blackpool so stuff a cork in it and take a bath because Cork is better than Bath
Ireland provided an air corridor over Donegal for RAF Flying Boats operating from Lake Carrowmore on anti Uboat missions. Ireland installed large markers along it's western coast with the identification EIRE & numbered 1-83. This helped US built bombers crossing the Atlantic which wandered off coarse. Navigators maps had these numbers clearly marked. In 1940 DeValera sent negotiators to London requesting British troops enter the free state to help should Germans forces land on Irish soil.
Being from a catholic part of Liverpool Dad's unit was billeted with the Liverpool Irish. On the on 12th July 1940 the Liverpool Irish band went on a march through the Liverpool Streets. As they crossed an intersection the Orange Lodge parade turned the corner and ended up behind the band. The Catholic Sergent in charge took the opportunity and the lodge instead of stopping allowed the parade to be led by a Catholic band playing The Wearing of the Green and other Irish Nationalistic songs.
this is one of his best routines, but I find him more intelligently and subtle than hilarious. even black books wasnt laugh out loud type of comedy, rarely made me smile but I admired his non literal style of comedy. Im curious if Im the only one who feels like this about his comedy?
Here now, comedy, comedy, be nice now. If you absolutely MUST insult each other, do it in laughably childish ways. Like this: momoszabong, you're an absolutely horrible person. Every morning, you wake up to St. Judge bitch slapping you and saying he's given up.
For me it's the other way around: I'm Irish and I find myself automatically impersonating English accents when I'm speaking to English people. It's not a case of taking the piss out of them - I just like the way it sounds.
as I'm half Anglo myself. And I consider myself as patriotically Irish as anyone else. Would you consider Scots who are full or part Catholic Irish like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sean Connery, Billy Connolly, Gerard Butler or James MacEvoy (aka the people who put it on the map) to be any less Scottish? Or how about the Beatles, Sex Pistols or Oasis, would you consider them Irish bands, because going by you're logic they are.
A lot of them served not out of a will to "save the world" or "help Britain" but simply because they needed the money and joining the British army was a tradition in the country for hundreds of years.
As a German,i really cannot tell the English and the Irish part until they speak really. And even then its really only the accent. To me, both nations are heavily integrated, extremely clever with their humour and hopefully grown up enough to dump their troubles behind them.
...but it was not developed for practical use until several centuries later. In 1657, experiments were conducted on syringe-like devices by two Englishmen, Christopher Wren (1632-1723) and Irishman Robert Boyle.

our war onj the Irish is all out jimmy we 're fighting on all fronts i like your style.. u don't let a bit of comedy get in the way of hatred ...100% behind you all the way
@VintageBalderdash I hate it when you guys do that. lmao, but we're all guilty of it. I grew up in the caribbean so there were lots of Americans, and I got mimicked so much that I began to speak with an American accent from a really young age. Now I change my voice if I ever talk to Americans or Canadians.
@irategoblin it is fascinating, isnt it? it could go either way, but the name itself is simply a identifying proptery. "son of cormick". those old european types sure were crafty, eh? ;P
The funniest bit about that joke is that you don't know which half! I'm assuming that he means, we'll steal the ladder but we won't paint your house. :)
@TheSaintAza I'm pretty sure they didn't think that. In fact, maybe one reason there were 100k volunteers was that word got out Hitler wanted to invade Britain using Ireland as a stepping stone.
'HYPODERMIC syringe'. lol. Funny you mention it, but an Irish-man named Robert Boyle is oft credited with inventing it (who is also cited as being the founding father of modern chemistry) whilst later another Irish inventer named Francis Rynd created the hollow point syrnge . Whilst on the topic of Irish contributions to healthcare include the defibrillator & radiotherapy. Speaking of founding fathers of science: Nobel Prize winning Irish physicist Ernest Walton heralded in the atomic age when
I don't know about the whole Nazi thing?? But of course there is Viking blood in Ireland. The Norse word for an inlet of navigable water is fjord. Counties Waterford and Wexford, as well as inlets of water in the North such as Carlingford, would have been named that way because of this. And there's plenty of Spanish blood mixed in as well after the Armada ships that ran aground in various places in Ireland
IT'S FIERCE MILD okay but we really do say that. A lot. Maybe that's why it's so funny to me. That and: 'grand stretch in the evenings!' Or: 'great drying out there today'.
The British first discovered and briefly landed on the Falklands in the 1600's, and colonised the islands in 1832 or 33. I apoligise as my previous comment didn't distinguish :) I completely agree. Apparently the oil is being sold off by the Falkland government (meaning Britain isn't really getting any profit out of the oil). I believe the Falkland islanders have the right to sell their oil since they're the only ones making the money
Dylan has done his homework. The Irish government of the time stayed neutral during the war, neither backing the Axis or the Allies, yet Irish citizens weren't banned from joining the war efforts.
"Ahhhhrghh ... its fierce mild" lmao!!

This is the first time I've seen this guy and all I could think of was Dave Allen. Fabulous!
Watch Tommy Tiernan - you'd love him.
I found this very funny, my English friends do tend to impersonate my accent haha spot on
Dylan on the "southern English".
Dylan on the "southern middle class English."
"AGH, IT'S FIERCE MILD!" LMAO I've been using that one at every opportunity since seeing this :D Also the way he says "What the fuck are you doing?!" in such a demanding tone is hilarious! :D

Now lighten up all you.
It's one of my favourite comedy lines!
When hes acting out Irish emotion, All I can think of is Dougle from Father Ted
This guy is adorable XD
His teasing is great.
I'm proud to be Irish ^_^
Ok I'm DEFINITELY in love with him!
He's right! Irish people that I meet always might steal my ladder, but they never offer to paint the house.
theguywhoannoysme at least they dont steal countries:D the Irish are good like that
+Cosmic Lino hang on they may not steal countries but they have completely taken New York for themselves which is a pretty big deal lol (light hearted joke nothing serious meant)

"A rotten oyster under your tongue, Hello Hello" hahaha
"It's quarter to 6? I thought it was 7 minutes 'till we're all FUCKED!!!!"
I know a guy who says this lol
Well said!!
One of my parents ancestry is Irish/Scottish/English and it’s always fun to hear the stereotypes 😂
i am going to use the phrase "its fierce mild" whenever possible
Brilliant.
"It's fierce mild!!"
I have to say,..that was eloquently said,...and I even like the last part where you got out the chisel that Tommy Tiernan speaks of,..
From an Englishmans perspective, I thought this was amusing.
english. and man are unable to be placed to gether in the 21st century. look at your tampon country, lady.
"I would yeah, that be great, that be lovely..."
"What the fuck are you doing?!!!"
Funny as hell!
this is one of his best routines, but I find him more intelligently and subtle than hilarious. even black books wasnt laugh out loud type of comedy, rarely made me smile but I admired his non literal style of comedy. Im curious if Im the only one who feels like this about his comedy?
never get tired of all the geniuses using their time to argue about such important matter on......UA-cam. well done
Ahh, it's fierce mild !
This was comedy gold!take everything with a pinch of salt! It's only light hearted irish humor!
@Koobeful that's absurd, they are two entirely different comics. I dunno where you got that impression from.
im english and half irish, irish are way cooler and friendly generally
bullshit,av u ever lived in belfast or dublin?
momoszabong Fucking better than Birmingham I'll tell you that.
ImSorryFive Nope
momoszabong have you ever lived in belfast or dublin!? i bet you havent, and dublin is a lovely city!
Here now, comedy, comedy, be nice now. If you absolutely MUST insult each other, do it in laughably childish ways. Like this:
momoszabong, you're an absolutely horrible person. Every morning, you wake up to St. Judge bitch slapping you and saying he's given up.
I like it
Love this comment! :)
Yeah i totally agree... Haha i'm Australian. Greetings from down under :)
Ticket to Estonia booked! ;)
He is talking about WW2, I believe, in which Ireland remained neutral.
"AHH!!! It's FIERCE MILD!"
AGGHHHHH!!!!!! It's fierce mild!!!!
Oh I almost died laughing
For some reason whenever I hear this I start coughing up blood cos im laughing so bloody hard!!!
For me it's the other way around: I'm Irish and I find myself automatically impersonating English accents when I'm speaking to English people. It's not a case of taking the piss out of them - I just like the way it sounds.
I LOVE the irish!!!! would hate to live anywhere else in this world!
I know someone who smiles like that!
He's not British in the slightest, but sometimes he certainly sounds like it.
Respect to Turkey, great people
@arthurneddysmith Buy the DVD then
got me. but like the majority of irish people, i think there is only one ireland, and it's that big island next to wales
I like you, you seem like good people
Once we are somewhere truly foreign it's amazing how close the Brits and Micks stick together.
Lol, well I'm glad it made someone laugh :)
Ulster is part of Ireland, there are six counties in Ireland that are under British rule, trust me I know this stuff seeing as how I'm Irish.
"whose trousers are these?, Lets both try them on at once and see who wins" AHHAHA
i'm english and this is so true
as I'm half Anglo myself. And I consider myself as patriotically Irish as anyone else.

He's fuckin hammered
