Diane you never tried corn beef? You need to rectify this as soon as possible it is delicious. I think you should make a video trying corn beef for the first time it is delicious.
Green is for Catholics, Orange is for Protestants. As the Simpsons are members of the Presbylutheranism Church they are Protestants and it's proper for Bart to wear orange on Saint Patrick's Day.
Most of these joke are about the Irish in America. Drinking, fighting, prejudice. There is a lot of history there. Lisa's Irish boyfriend was from the movie.
It's so cool that a Simpsons reference such as "burn them all" became an inside joke in Ireland! We use Simpson references as inside jokes here in the US as well, but it's awesome to know that it's also done in Ireland.
As I'm sure others have mentioned, the "old" Itchy and Scratchy cartoon is referencing the toxic anti-Irish prejudice common in the US during the late 19th and early 20th century. It began in earnest when Irish immigrants began to arrive en masse. Some businesses even had signs saying "Irish Need Not Apply". The bit about everyone being welcome at the parade except the gays and the Catholics refers to the big NY St. Paddy's Parade (and others around the US). It's sponsored by the Ancient Order of Hibernians who wouldn't allow explicitly gay individuals or gay organizations to march in the parade. I'm not sure if that's changed.
Yeah its changed in most parades apart from Stattan island parade??? The new york one only changed about last year when our gay leader Leo was invited to walk in it and be made a point of bringing his boyfriend to all of the events including meeting mike pence. I think only for that reason he marched in it that they changed the no gays policy
A lot of these "Anti-Irish" jokes are based on American history where in the early 20th century the Irish were severely discriminated against. Many were looking for jobs and it wasn't unusual for a store or business to have a sign in the window that read "Irish need not apply." Simpsons is kind of poking fun at some of America's more horrible historical practices. I believe much of this stemmed from the influx of Irish after the Potato Famine. I guess you could say that for a part of American history, American's were "racist" against Irish.
I didn't know that Paddy wagon was called what it is because back in 19th and early 20th century New York and Boston police wagons that were sent to pickup Irish immigrants who'd get inebriated in the taverns. I don't know that until I took a history class in college
@@danielleporter1829 There's a lot of little nasty bits in American history, thankfully the hate the Irish received has gone away but it was real and not something to be proud of. The U.S. being a predominantly Protestant nation back in the early 20th century also meant that a lot of the hate towards the Irish was because they were generally Catholics. It's sad and unfortunate but that's the way it was. Paddy wagon is a great example of something being named what it was to marginalize the Irish, sort of an early 20th century "meme" you might say.
To add to this, There were some Irish that were known to fight in bare handed boxing matches back in the day. Mostly to win money to feed their families. Some guys didn't have much of a choice. anyway, Hello! from a 5th gen Irish-American!
This was most intense in the 1850s-60s and the stereotypes carried over into the 20th C. By then loads of other emigrants had their chops busted for a while. This went on longer for different Asian emigrants.
"The Fighting Irish" is the mascot name of the sports teams at Notre Dame University. The pinching of people not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day is something that children do in school. When adults do it, it's always tongue in cheek, a crack. My older brother was born on March 17 so he can walk into any Irish Pub in the US, show them his ID and drink free of charge all night long on his birthday. He's the honorary Irishman in our family. Bad Joke: Who is green and lives outside all year long? Paddy O'Furniture.

"Burn them burn them all" This really made me laugh, and if one more person asks me if I miss having cornbeef and cabbage I'll hit them with my shillelagh. Have a wonderful weekend Diane! (*and Chewy)
The original "Fightin' Irish" in the U.S. were the members of the 69th Massachusetts Militia in the American Civil War. Almost all were Irish immigrants, fighting to restore the Union and end slavery.
It was originally a racial slur against the heavily Irish institution, but they took it and turned it into a mascot. Which just frankly tickles me. They took the piss out of their competitors attempts to denigrate them.
When I was in school we had some Irish foreign exchange students at our school for a month or so. They did not find our Irish stereotypes very funny. This was in the 90s. We had to have an assembly for them to.debunk myths about Ireland . Apparently there are no leprechauns in Ireland
I just image searched Kathy Ireland and she is tremendous. She was one of my favorite SI models with Elle Mcpherson , Rachael Hunter ( Stacey’s Mom ) , and Paulina Porsikova. Such memories.
9:35 If my memory serves me correctly the reason Bart's neck is messed up because Homer caused an incident with a witch and placed a curse on the entire family, in order to remove the curse they needed a Leprechaun.

My people played a role, for better or for worse. In the early 20th century, New York's "undesirable" immigrants (the Irish, Italians, and Jews) resided in many of the same poor neighborhoods. The city's Jewish delicatessens and lunch carts introduced Irish residents to corned beef, which was suitably cheap and reasonably similar to their familiar bacon to serve as a substitute. Corned beef remains a popular dish among Jewish Americans, but its association with Irish Americans is comparably strong.
Irishman, Englishman, Frenchman and Dutchman are normal descriptions of those four ethnicities. We used to say Chinaman, but that’s now considered an ethnic slur.
The Fighting Irish nickname was first coined for the Irish immigrant soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War in what became called the Irish Brigade, including three regiments from New York.
cornbeef is great its beef brisket brined to tenderize next time you are in nyc go to jewish deli and try it cause thats what irish americans did more than 100 years ago when they celebrated they went to the deli and somehow they loved it so much they adopted this very jewish food as their own
Kathy Ireland is an 80's supermodel who came to prominence doing several covers of Sports illustrated Swimsuit edition. She later got into acting and did a few movies. I think "Alien from L.A." was the first.
The Scottish are known for Fighting too. So much so that Steven Moffat the former show runner of Doctor Who, who is Scottish, put it into the Doctor Who Episode : "the Name of The Doctor"
I think the main difference is the main populations of Scottish emigrated much earlier (sometimes not by choice) and kept mostly to themselves up in the mountain areas while there was a large Irish presence in New England slums.
Kids pinching someone for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day _IS_ an Irish thing, as there are about 6 or 7 times as many Irish in America as there are in Ireland. It's just the few Irish in Ireland that don't have that tradition.

There is absolutely a stereotype going on with Irish and fighting. I was told that if I ever went to Ireland and somebody tried to pick a fight with me, I should just fight. But fight fairly. No pinching, raking with nails or anything like that. When they have had a bit of scrap with you and you didn't resort to those tactice, they'd buy you a pint and be your best friend forever. Needless to say, when I actually visited Ireland, there were very few fisticuffs going on...
The scene where Lisa fainted because of the Irish boy is from the Simpsons Movie. He also cares for the enviroment and he plays an instrument and his dad is a musician. And Lisa asks him: "Is he....?" "NO, he is NOT Bono"
I could be completely wrong, but I am thinking "Irish Krusty" was an homage to the book "Angela's Ashes." Yes, I stopped watching The Simpson's years ago. Thanks for another wonderful video. Enjoy your weekend.
You should have watched more of the Grampa episode. Grampa points out how much Ireland has changed and that it's now illegal to smoke in restaurants. So he and Homer open a "Smoke Easy". Would've liked to see your reaction to those bits.
Hi Diane. US cartoons also make fighting jokes about Australians. The kids in South park watched a show called 'Russel crowe fighting all over the world' & was really funny. Re family Guy you should definitely watch the episode when peter & brian visited Ireland. I'm Irish & thought it was very funny
And if I'm not mistaken, Alec Baldwin's daughter is actually named Ireland (as in her first name), and I believe Alec himself appeared on the show once, in season 10. Could have been used as well, I guess.
Great video! I love The Simpsons, and remember several of those clips. Absolutely loved the conversation you had with Chewie at the end. More, more, more! Have a great weekend. Stay safe, and Keep Smiling! 😎 💚💚💚🇮🇪🍀💚💚💚
Foreigners are always amazed at the strong Irish-American influence on our culture. As others have commented, there is a sad background of historic discrimination against the very poor Irish who immigrated in the mid-1800s. It produced a solidarity among the Irish, especially around Boston, and the general population welcomed the whole idea. I was surprised that Australia, which is more solidly of Irish ancestry than we are, has not had this happen. I have one Irish great-grandmother, so of course I wear the green on St. Patrick's day.
I got to witness a couple Irish stereotypes today from an elderly Greek restauranteur. He had been back in Greece a while ago and was complaining about British and Irish fighting in the bars in Greece, talking about the English and Irish engaging in hooliganism. And, he said "Irishman" the way they did in the Simpsons.
My father told a story from when he was a sailor in the Royal Canadian Navy in WW2. His ship was docked in Northern Ireland, probably Londonderry, after escorting a convoy from Canada and he was in a pub where a fight broke out. The fight gathered steam in the pub and then spilled out into the street. After a while he decided it was safest to head back to the ship. By the time he made it back the fight occupied several streets. No one seemed to know what the fight was about, they were just fighting because everyone else was.
I'd like to see you react to The Three Stooges. I was going to recommend you watch the films "Pardon My Scotch" and "Scotched in Scotland", but they're more acting like Scotsmen than Irish Men. But I hope that you will watch them if you haven't yet. Also, maybe you should ask Chewy if he knows anything about your missing headphones.
There was a time where that "Potato Man" joke once confused the heck out of me. Though, it was mostly because it was the response the dude in the blue jacket made; "where the hell have you been?" It made me think HE was waiting on the potatoes but it was presumably U2 who was waiting for them. I also never new the band was Irish
2:18 That's a reference to how cartoons in the olden days (the 20's and stuff) used to be extremely racially insensitive and how the Irish were treated very poorly in America when they first came here (like pretty much every racial group that comes here).
Wow, this sure takes me back to the earlier Simpsons episodes. I loved those Halloween specials too - off topic maybe but I think I'm going to be looking for my Kodos and Kang fix right now after your enjoyable video! Have a good one.
A Dublin and Cork accent would both sound very different but be recognisably Irish to somebody from Ireland. On the other hand just adding top o the morning and to be sure probably wouldn't pass you off as Irish. It's the same as when British actors do American accent, there isn't one true American accent but you can easily tell it isn't quite right when somebody tries to pass off an accent that they don't naturally have. I'm English so shouldn't really be considered an authority on Irish accents :)
Fighting Irish comes from the emigrants that went to america. They fought the natives for jobs in New Orleans and played a big role in both sides of the american civil war. Thats where the stereotype comes from
There were also lots of problems in New York City in the 1800s between the Americans, the Irish immigrants, Jewish population and especially the Italian immigrants. This led to the origins of crime families there. Another use for Fighting Irish though is as a very prestigious university’s (American) football team!! They’re the Notre Dame Fighting Irish!! They have a very storied history in our college football.
@@murdockoliver2433 Notre dame are so famous that even we in Ireland have heard of them lol. Was it the irish that formed the team or how did it come about?
I think the itchy and scratchy flattening an 'Irirshman' was kinda a joke about how Disney used to make some fairly racist cartoons that emphasized racial stereotypes. Look up bugs bunny from WW2. They are pretty racist against the Japanese. The art style of that clip is fairly similar to old Disney cartoons.
Ryan Dyer Well yeah, that was just the first example I could think of, and also not a good excuse to be racist. There is also plenty of racist depictions of POC in the older cartoons.
Ben Finny It was racist back in the day. It isn’t suddenly racist because 2020. Family guy made a joke about Disney being racist years ago. It’s a pretty well known fact that they were. You calling me Karen makes it pretty obvious you don’t understand the whole Karen thing. I’m not complaining to a manager of a store, so I am not acting like a Karen.
i've seen at least one or two of those bugs bunny cartoons (which is warner brothers not disney) and they are so racist for any time it was quite amazing it was made. i don't even know where you can watch the really bad ones now. that being said tho, i still loved bugs bunny when i was younger and think (other then the really offensive few episodes) they are great.
If you were cringing at the stereotypes, there is a solution: Watch episodes of Father Ted and Podge and Rodge: A Scare At Bedtime. BTW, did you know that Oscar winning director Barry Levinson made a Northern Irish film called "An Everlasting Piece"?
Diane, the Irish, when they first came to America during the famine experienced racism & disenfranchisement not unlike, but not to the systemic level that they did with England.
It is hard to find appliance repair but if you can contact the manufacturer they can often recommend a local service center. And yeah river dance is pretty cool.
Ross Geller: "According to Chandler, what phenomenon scares the bejesus out of him?" Monica Geller: "Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance!" Ross Geller: "That is correct!" Joey Tribbiani: "The Irish jig guy?!" Chandler Bing: "His legs flail about as if they're independent from his body!"
I have no idea if this ending was simply because of a perfect, blooper-less run or if Chewie decided to tape over them and coerce ED to adding in his plea for more noms, but that was fantastic! The whole video was fun, but that ending was an amazing surprise hahahaha
Early Simpsons episodes are definitely the best (the Tracy Ullman Show stuff was great) and the Treehouse of Horror specials pre-2000 were all classics.

It largely had to do with the fact that Ireland and Italy were predominantly Catholic

The Tree House of Horror episodes are definitely the best.
There is absolutely a stereotype going on with Irish and fighting. I was told that if I ever went to Ireland and somebody tried to pick a fight with me, I should just fight. But fight fairly. No pinching, raking with nails or anything like that. When they have had a bit of scrap with you and you didn't resort to those tactice, they'd buy you a pint and be your best friend forever. Needless to say, when I actually visited Ireland, there were very few fisticuffs going on...
The scene where Lisa fainted because of the Irish boy is from the Simpsons Movie.
He also cares for the enviroment and he plays an instrument and his dad is a musician.
And Lisa asks him: "Is he....?" "NO, he is NOT Bono"
Great video Diane!
Loved your commentary.
And yes, reviewing Irish-related Family Guy episodes is a fun idea.
I could be completely wrong, but I am thinking "Irish Krusty" was an homage to the book "Angela's Ashes." Yes, I stopped watching The Simpson's years ago. Thanks for another wonderful video. Enjoy your weekend.
Speaking of which Hey Diane you could give your thoughts on those famous book such as Angela's ashes or films such as Evelyn and others
You should have watched more of the Grampa episode. Grampa points out how much Ireland has changed and that it's now illegal to smoke in restaurants. So he and Homer open a "Smoke Easy". Would've liked to see your reaction to those bits.
Hi Diane. US cartoons also make fighting jokes about Australians. The kids in South park watched a show called 'Russel crowe fighting all over the world' & was really funny. Re family Guy you should definitely watch the episode when peter & brian visited Ireland. I'm Irish & thought it was very funny
Homemade cornbeef and cabbage is delicious! The stuff in a can is atrocious.
Kathy Ireland is an American model she's retired. It was an obvious bad joke given her last name.
And if I'm not mistaken, Alec Baldwin's daughter is actually named Ireland (as in her first name), and I believe Alec himself appeared on the show once, in season 10. Could have been used as well, I guess.
Sports Illustrated swimsuit model in the 1980s and was hot! 😻
Great video! I love The Simpsons, and remember several of those clips.
Absolutely loved the conversation you had with Chewie at the end. More, more, more!
Have a great weekend. Stay safe, and Keep Smiling! 😎

Foreigners are always amazed at the strong Irish-American influence on our culture. As others have commented, there is a sad background of historic discrimination against the very poor Irish who immigrated in the mid-1800s. It produced a solidarity among the Irish, especially around Boston, and the general population welcomed the whole idea. I was surprised that Australia, which is more solidly of Irish ancestry than we are, has not had this happen. I have one Irish great-grandmother, so of course I wear the green on St. Patrick's day.
I would love to have a Irish Cider review! You and Lenny or Paul trying 3-4 Irish only ciders. Yummy!
Conan O’Brien was a writer on The Simpsons before he became a late-night host. Might be where some of these Irish jokes came from
Ahaaaa
Conan O'Brien, the most Irish dude on the planet. I mean quite literally. He's 100% Irish, which is more than most native Irish folks.
I got to witness a couple Irish stereotypes today from an elderly Greek restauranteur. He had been back in Greece a while ago and was complaining about British and Irish fighting in the bars in Greece, talking about the English and Irish engaging in hooliganism. And, he said "Irishman" the way they did in the Simpsons.
My father told a story from when he was a sailor in the Royal Canadian Navy in WW2. His ship was docked in Northern Ireland, probably Londonderry, after escorting a convoy from Canada and he was in a pub where a fight broke out. The fight gathered steam in the pub and then spilled out into the street. After a while he decided it was safest to head back to the ship. By the time he made it back the fight occupied several streets. No one seemed to know what the fight was about, they were just fighting because everyone else was.
I'd like to see you react to The Three Stooges. I was going to recommend you watch the films "Pardon My Scotch" and "Scotched in Scotland", but they're more acting like Scotsmen than Irish Men. But I hope that you will watch them if you haven't yet. Also, maybe you should ask Chewy if he knows anything about your missing headphones.
😮🐾
Diane watch gangs of new York.
And Boondock's Saints just cuz 😁
The fact that you said burn them all growing up makes me love the Irish more than ever.
You missed the part when Homer wakes up the leprechaun to dissapear the hex. Love Irish culture from Mexico.
Search: Weasel Stomping Day
Lads, I think she was more insulted than confused by this?
There was a time where that "Potato Man" joke once confused the heck out of me. Though, it was mostly because it was the response the dude in the blue jacket made; "where the hell have you been?"
It made me think HE was waiting on the potatoes but it was presumably U2 who was waiting for them. I also never new the band was Irish
You missed the one when the plane lands in Ireland andvthe runway is filled with beer bottles ...so funny
Wrong show
2:18 That's a reference to how cartoons in the olden days (the 20's and stuff) used to be extremely racially insensitive and how the Irish were treated very poorly in America when they first came here (like pretty much every racial group that comes here).
I at first thought she was just a cute Irish Girl but honestly you are just an interesting and fun person to watch, love your conent
Wow, this sure takes me back to the earlier Simpsons episodes. I loved those Halloween specials too - off topic maybe but I think I'm going to be looking for my Kodos and Kang fix right now after your enjoyable video! Have a good one.
I forgot about how good those were too!!
Such a beautiful accent ❤️
The Irish accent is music to my ears.
Honest question what is a “true” Irish accent? I have heard a few varieties
There are loads and loads of Irish accents. Mine!
A Dublin and Cork accent would both sound very different but be recognisably Irish to somebody from Ireland. On the other hand just adding top o the morning and to be sure probably wouldn't pass you off as Irish. It's the same as when British actors do American accent, there isn't one true American accent but you can easily tell it isn't quite right when somebody tries to pass off an accent that they don't naturally have. I'm English so shouldn't really be considered an authority on Irish accents :)
@@DianeJennings All of them are yours? Do you get a percentage?
This sounds like a "No True Scotsman Fallacy" prompt.
@@Frank-mm2yp ah here there are at least 5 different dublin accents alone
That Irish boy Lisa was crushing on was in the 2007 Simpsons theatrical movie.
Great video! I live south of Boston and friends from Ireland always laugh when they see jokes like that.
Fighting Irish comes from the emigrants that went to america. They fought the natives for jobs in New Orleans and played a big role in both sides of the american civil war. Thats where the stereotype comes from
There were also lots of problems in New York City in the 1800s between the Americans, the Irish immigrants, Jewish population and especially the Italian immigrants. This led to the origins of crime families there. Another use for Fighting Irish though is as a very prestigious university’s (American) football team!! They’re the Notre Dame Fighting Irish!! They have a very storied history in our college football.
@@murdockoliver2433 Notre dame are so famous that even we in Ireland have heard of them lol. Was it the irish that formed the team or how did it come about?
@@TheThebull17 Notre Dame got their name when the students beat up the klan
Conor Bradley I found some interesting information here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish
It may also have to do with the Wild Geese exiled Irish soldiers of fortune.
I think the itchy and scratchy flattening an 'Irirshman' was kinda a joke about how Disney used to make some fairly racist cartoons that emphasized racial stereotypes. Look up bugs bunny from WW2. They are pretty racist against the Japanese. The art style of that clip is fairly similar to old Disney cartoons.
Well, during WWII America was at war with Japan, so there were probably a bunch of anti-Japanese cartoons from back then.
Ryan Dyer Well yeah, that was just the first example I could think of, and also not a good excuse to be racist. There is also plenty of racist depictions of POC in the older cartoons.
Ben Finny It was racist back in the day. It isn’t suddenly racist because 2020. Family guy made a joke about Disney being racist years ago. It’s a pretty well known fact that they were.
You calling me Karen makes it pretty obvious you don’t understand the whole Karen thing. I’m not complaining to a manager of a store, so I am not acting like a Karen.
i've seen at least one or two of those bugs bunny cartoons (which is warner brothers not disney) and they are so racist for any time it was quite amazing it was made. i don't even know where you can watch the really bad ones now. that being said tho, i still loved bugs bunny when i was younger and think (other then the really offensive few episodes) they are great.
@@briwanderz Good catch. I totally forgot that BB was Warner not Disney. I think I was thinking of the family guy skit about Disney being racist.
It does refer to the spirit,but in movies they have them fight just as a bit of comedic fun!
Chewy on the chair at the end, loved it!
If you were cringing at the stereotypes, there is a solution:
Watch episodes of Father Ted and Podge and Rodge: A Scare At Bedtime.
BTW, did you know that Oscar winning director Barry Levinson made a Northern Irish film called "An Everlasting Piece"?
And Apu got canned by.....fake racial grievance grifters.
Diane, the Irish, when they first came to America during the famine experienced racism & disenfranchisement not unlike, but not to the systemic level that they did with England.
It is hard to find appliance repair but if you can contact the manufacturer they can often recommend a local service center. And yeah river dance is pretty cool.
There are a fare bit of others, mainly the Leprechaun who became a running gag in Halloween episodes .
Discovered you on Try last year sometime and have followed you since! Love your channel and your content! Sending ♥ from Ohio USA
You missed the one where the leprechaun kidnaps Pierce Brosnan. "Just keep drivin boy-o"
Cathy Ireland was a model, quite popular in Sports Illustrated, and nominal actress. Also clothing designer.
Ross Geller: "According to Chandler, what phenomenon scares the bejesus out of him?"
Monica Geller: "Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance!"
Ross Geller: "That is correct!"
Joey Tribbiani: "The Irish jig guy?!"
Chandler Bing: "His legs flail about as if they're independent from his body!"
Head phones: check all your pockets , that's where I find them right before I do laundry lol
I absolutely love when we get Chewie thoughts 💭🤣💜💜💜
I have no idea if this ending was simply because of a perfect, blooper-less run or if Chewie decided to tape over them and coerce ED to adding in his plea for more noms, but that was fantastic! The whole video was fun, but that ending was an amazing surprise hahahaha
😂 looks like ED left the bloopers in!!
I haven't watched one of your videos in a couple weeks. I missed them, you are fun!!
Diane,
May I send you a piano? LOL
Early Simpsons episodes are definitely the best (the Tracy Ullman Show stuff was great) and the Treehouse of Horror specials pre-2000 were all classics.
