Gerry Ryan is funny in all the wrong ways.

Latchy · 08-07-2008 09:55PM

It's all part of the 'lets find somthing irish to moan about '.Even if x y and z are hillariously funny some will not bring themselffs to admit it .The idea of saying so frightens them but begrudgery not strictly an irish trait either

do we perhaps think we're funnier than other nations because we grew up with the irish sense of humour and are used to it??!!

Climate Expert · 08-07-2008 11:22PM

None of you here are funny.

Agreed. Seems like a bunch of fools replied in order to seem, or try to be funny. That would negate any natural humour that exists because you're trying to be funny.

You didn't mention me in your original post Snyper. You have soiled this thread.

Yeah the Irish folk have a great sense of humour. Having lived in England and been regularly in the company of English people they thought I was hilarious. I am no more funny than the next Irish guy but I would say things that I didn't even intend to be funny and they thought it was great!!

We have the crappest stand up comedians in the world IMO, they are fuking sh1te. Our general population is bloody gas though, funniest in the world as long as they dont have a stick stuck up their ass.

You should check out Dylan Moran. One of the funniest stand ups I've seen.

A bit hit and miss IMO. Good sometimes, sh1te other times. He is a good comic/sitcom actor though. One of the best. Remember that Byrne tosser on the Cassidy's? That was the worst show ever and his acting was muck!

irish people are funny because unlike onther countries we can have the craic, and a slag and take things with a pinch of salt!

mise_me_fein · 09-07-2008 09:39AM

I dunno whether it's to do with our history or what but we are funny, well another way of putting it is we are good storytellers.

If you listen to the regular American or Brit telling stories, a lot of the time it's soooooooo boring.

Dylan Moran FTW...

Oh God, whats the weather like?? WAIT, don't tell me, I can't bare to hear, I'll look myself....*peaks out curtains*..AAAHHH Its fierce mild...

Also I think Irish people in general are funnier than anywhere else i've been, the English don't have one that I could see tbh, the American sense of humour in general isn't all that subtle and the Germans, well...

yeah, Irish people are funny. I know some of my Swedish and Danish friends are shocked when they get together with myself and a few Irish people as we spend the night pretty much continuously slagging each other off and ourselves trying to get a laugh. In Denmark and Sweden they would never insult each other for the sake of a joke but in Ireland it's kind of expected to get the craic going and loosen up the mood

I guess it comes from the over confidence and arrogance that Irish males portray when in a group, which leads the person to being more thick skinned to insults as their own self image is secure enough to not let it affect them.

Much like the "yor ma" jokes on these forums, I know my Danish friends would never even contemplate slagging off someone elses mother to get a laugh.

If you are going to use a tired boards acronym like that then at least use it in the right context. He didn't quote anybody and just wrote qft.

People here are devoid of any originality in their postings. The same old **** like +1, tbh, qft, yore ma.

No, just a bloodied ring with a stream of jizz running out of it.

Irish people try to be funny to compensate for the fact that they are avery very ugly race of people.

It's not a coincidence that most stand-up comedians are physically unattractive.
