Most Comical/Hysterical COVID News Stories of the past few years

ffs, this was meant to be funny not another point scoring thread

What I find odd about it all as well...did one Irish politician grow in stature during the crisis.

I remember the Financial Crisis in 08-10, even if you didn't like the policies and most of us didn't, Lenihan grew in stature, (whereas Cowen most definitely didn't) you felt he was in a difficult position doing his best and had some degree of intellect and integrity...I can't think of one politician that would be comparable. Everyone one of them were buffoonish...from Varadkar quoting hollywood movies in speeches, to the Harris/Donnelly debacle (as in which one was worse)...or Martin scolding a TD for asking about cancer/heart disease screenings, and that is with the most compliant media the political system could ever of asked for!!!

Is there any point to even ask them to explain our current excess deaths? WE'd just get a line from Top Gun Maverick or something!!

Not possible, because it's inherently a thread saying that the pandemic wasn't a big deal and anyone trying to avoid mass deaths was a stupid c*nt. That's the sole purpose of this thread.

But sure look, only somewhere between 6 and 20 million people are dead so on with the lols.

There are people who went all in on defending the covid hysteria, if you highlight the absurdity of it all you will just shine a light on their own idiocy so its no surprise they don't want that to happen. Its just the same 4/5 posters in all these threads still beating the same drum, fighting the good fight.

Personally I can only find dark humor in the whole thing, but one that stands out are those particular morons doing that tiktok dance video.

Stay away from the windy and wide open beaches, unless you are a guard doing a stupid dance of course. If you didn't laugh at that you would cry.

The division of people was mad as well, and would be funny to look back on if it wasn't still so evident in this thread.

The utter absurdity of Varadkar trying to get movie quotes into his speeches when things were at their height. People dying, people confused, nobody really knowing what's going to happen and this absolute clown is having a laugh seeing if he can get movie quotes in to his announcements.

The media lapping it up too. If he wants to wedge LOTR or Terminator lines into a speech then maybe there's a time and a place for that?

Genuinely wonder at times how seriously our politicians were taking the issue.

That's a couple of new deaths today Mr Taoiseach, bring our total so far to 1699. "Grand, do you think I can get a Mean Girls quote into my speech later? It'll be some laugh."

So fetch! Leo Varadkar quotes Mean Girls in speech (rte.ie)

So the publicans came up with the 9 euro meal so,I thought it was based on science and us plebs just didn't understand it, according to a few on here.

Id forgotten out the Gardai and their silly dance. It was so tone deaf of them when they had set up roadblocks in every town checking people werent going more than 5k away from home. I dont think they realised how tone deaf it was till the backlash started on social media. I think they had done it for some kind of charity challenge but no one cared when we were all locked up in our homes day in day out.

And in a thread that's supposed to be making fun of hysterical reactions, playing the "babies starving in Africa" card is absolutely top notch.

That simply won't be beaten. @[Deleted User] is today's Internet champion.

Oops the "€9 meal" hysteria is still going strong. Didn't mean to rile up those with PTSD again.

Thank christ I didn't mention the people who couldn't tell the difference between a facemask and a nappy!
