The Irish are the butt of every joke

brendansmith

I am currently residing in New Zealand and the Scottish lad I live with has a Scouser mate who is going out with a Dublin girl.

The Scottish lad says to me the other day and says "You know that 'insert Dublin girls name here' didnt know that the Irish are thought of as idiots in every joke before she came over here"

I informed him that we are not the butt of our own jokes in Ireland so how would she know.
I didnt defend the Irish or anything because this lad is one of the thickest people I have ever met and I dont argue with idiots. Its not worth it.

The question is, are you aware that we are considered dumbasses and what do you think of it.

I think the same of it what people from New Zealand think about all the sheep shagging jokes and Scots think about all the stingy, stupid, bad teethed, junkie jokes.

Couldn't give a shiny silver sh1te, basically.

Agricola

The French are cheese eating surrender monkeys, the Germans are perfectionist robots with designs on world domination, the Italians are lazy work shy wasters, Americans are fat and stupid, the British are stiff twáts, I could go on and on.

So what. We are dumbasses, but just never admit it to a foreigner and fight em if you have to!

When the leaders of our wee country are named after a specific soup (thick country vegetable) i cant blame the rest of the world for thinking we are anything other than a joke

There are 50 million sheep in New Zealand and 4 million of them think they are people.

URRRGH!

****ing American tv shows where they call Paddy's Day, "Saint Patty's Day." It pisses me right off every time. Surely of the pantheon* of Irish-Americans one of them works in TV.


*Yes, I did mean pantheon. Like gods marching around my ****ing Patrick's Street.

well this person probably has a point. if you look at irish people voting for a corrupt FF for 14 years then yes irish people are idiots and dumbasses. not far from the truth there.
