I guess that the unexpected price the Soviet EU will be paying is that they will get the full blast of Irish satire aimed with merciless accuracy at every foible, incompetency, and ideological lunacy of our new overlords. We've had 800 years of practice to refine this to a fine art.
She has a right to her opinion. It was an interesting perspective. The Germans are very aware of the mistakes they have made in the past - unlike us Irish!
RTE need to stop hiring Craig Doyle. Four shows cancelled, yet every season he's back. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. Stop shoving Craig Doyle down our throat. Give someone else a shot.
As a German, married to an Irishman and not a friend of Angela Merkel's politics, I can understand that you guys find this hilarious. Sorry I don't. To hear words like "eliminated" and "leader" (the German translation for this is Führer) on an RTE programme, even if it is meant to be funny, kind of shocks me. I notice a strong anti-German sentiment and was even greeted with the Nazi greeting by people I call my friends and family for more than 20 years. At least I know now where this comes from.
To the Germans giving out about the Irish hating them we don't it's just we're in a tough recession right now and Angela Merkel is definitely not helping!
very sorry to hear that you are getting some abuse for simply being a German. i dont think theres any genuine hatred towards any Germans here, or in Germany. we have always had good relations with the german people. i guess we dont like any one country to have so much say over our future. plus i dont think that the merkel depicted here is meant to be any sort of historical figure, the white cat at the end surely is meant to show her as a Bond-type villain.
Don't take it personally, the Irish sense of humour is very derogatory by nature. Things often sound a lot worse than they are intended to be. It's the kind of thing that goes on a lot between friends in Ireland.
Always manage's to make me smile/laugh even when i have no intention too. :)
"Craig Doyle will be eliminated" dramatic pause "Craig Doyle will be eliminated"
All time classic
Still as funny and relevant as it was over 2 years ago. :)
Ah the weather bit is the best...this one is pure class and we'll be watching it for years!
Pity the end is cutoff...the last two secnods are class!
Best Apres Match i have ever seen : )
Brilliant, so great!
Craig Doyle was uncanny in fairness
Amazing! I'm glad someone has the balls to take the mick of all this.
Flawless victory!
Best one so far bloody brilliant
The bit with the weather woman was genius!!
I now can't see the UPC ad without asking if you're putting up with ordinary broadband. Damn you Apres Match
I just say everything like this and at the end of the sentence....i do that..
0.43 had me in tears
Yep, the last bit is the icing on the cake
probably the best one yet....
Actually it's 'Jump Around' by House of Pain.
Great stuff and practicality true !
The weather lady, man, brilliant.
Après Match is the best

"put down the potatoe" haha gold
from ireland to Direland :)
I'm an American who has no frame of reference for any of this, but I thought this was amazing.
I'm German, and I LOL'ed. :)

you cut it off a second too early.
Whats the name of the song at the beginning?
Its from Cypress Hill but the NAME?
You must have seen these two skits from Barry Murphy?
Maybe a parody but its an accurate view of Ireland from europe and the gombeen political class and public just can't see it.
what was the last bit i forget?
According to your profile, your from the Netherlands
@ebisimaterina, it's "Jump" from House Of Pain.
What's the last line? Isn't that right......
Angela has saved us from ourselves
and than at the very end of the sentence.......i do that
Nope, it's House of Pain - "Jump Around"
Still funny as
Jean Byrne looks the biz :)
Why what happens?
@Tripsgallen Excellent

If you are an Irishman and actually believe that I can only say you deserve everything that is coming your way

PUT DOWN THE POTATO
or in your case The String.
I think most of us can already laugh about such things. Especially about a bad Führer as you may call her :D Looking forward to more content of that
Well Oooooooh
Jump Around
I think its not that funny. The guy who imitatedes Merkel sounds more like Ratzinger. But for impersonate Merkel you need to do an Brandenburg accent.
Angela is not going to 'let the piggies go to the market'......
Ah here...ye were a bit hard on auld Jean!
It would be absolutely hilarious if there wasn't so much truth in it. All the European peoples have to pay dearly for the Euro...
I love this. So funny. Yer on the ball lads ^_^
Bing. Bong.
ridiculously close to the bone...
You need to speak to someone about that paranoia.....
'Insane In The Brain'.
Wo is Berlin?
Das ist im Russia, nein?
To the Germans giving out about the Irish hating them we don't it's just we're in a tough recession right now and Angela Merkel is definitely not helping!
and at the very end of the sentence i do that.haha
I'd love to know what the Germans think of this
its what we irish do best
it what we irish do best
Reality costs and someone has 2 pay
LOL Hillarious
