If a similiar thread exsisted about nigerians or chinese it would be closed for being racist, but for some reason the world considers it ok to make fun of americans `whenever and however they like, can someone tell me what the difference is. My wife is american and the comments she encouters very regularly by irish people are very annoying. Cead Mile Failte me arse!!!

But then I agree with you here, people in Ireland get far to upset when people comment about other nationalities. So much for freedom of speach....

I like cars

This takes the whole 'Freedom of speech to far' Just because some had freedom to speak does not mean they are exempt from reprocushion.

Eg..... Next time you see a garda....walk up to him and call him a f***ing p*g.....totally randomly, when he arrests or cautions you tell him you were excersising your civil right to freedom of speech and opinion, see where it gets you.

I was running short on Dough and knew that I would need money for Milwaukee best for the rest of the week. I decided to ask the boss for a sub to keep me going. hilarity ensued. CAPS: = AMERICAN ACCENT.

Me: Hi Chris, can I have a word?
CHRIS: YEAH MAN NO PROBLEM, WHAT IS IT?
Me: I'm a little strapped for cash this week, I couldn't get a sub off you until next week could I?
(Chris looks bewildered, he walks past me into the back room and looks at the schedule (staff hours), I can see him and it's obvious that he hasn't found what he's looking for.. he approaches me again...)
Me: I don't need any time off, I just need a sub until friday, Would that be OK?
CHRIS: (he looks straight into my eyes, completely confused) YOU WANT A SANDWHICH MAN?

What do you expect when you use Irish slang in a forgien country.

"Those damn leprechauns have been at the cabbages again"

Wife (in on it) next day comes in with a yard brush saying she was out for ages sweeping away all the leprechauns, as they're always out on the lawn after a heavy rain.

Nearly choked on a peanut while reading this :eek:
Very very funny (the story not the choking!)

hahahah the amount of people who try to prove a point and get it wrong IS hilarious!! like racist- the americans arent a different race, they are cocasions r watever it is, same as us,slagging them isnt bein racist, and people take the pi$$ outa eachother all the time, the fact that americans happen to come to ireland and say some (to us) stupid things, but to them its a logical question, IS a reason to slag them, they slag us we slag them, sure isnt it a great laugh...until someone who thinks they are all high and mighty comes along to spoil the fun because they are over sensitive, i no some coloured people, and with them we have a luagh and slag eachother, which to a sensitive person would be horribly rascist but to someone else(my m8) is hilarious, peoples various outlooks on things r the reason for all the damn comotion here, if ur not willin to laugh, go start ur "serious" forum wer ye can be politically correct and all that jazz,

phew...had to get that off my chest....now people...LAUGH OUT LOUD !!!!

I didn't understand the first bit, but for the second bit, I was joking throughout the whole thing, insulting the sensitivity of people, who get offended at light-hearted jokes.

Mate of mine when he was in America last year with a few others was in a night club and they got talking to a couple of American women

Yankee women: So how did you two get over
Irish lads: We took the bridge
YW: Really?
IL: yeah,couple of stops for petrol and McDonalds but its still much cheaper than flying!
YW: My God i dont even remember them building that bridge,we must drive to Ireland sometime

Not an anecdote ...

I was skimming around the channels last night when I caught Conan O'Briens show.He was interviewing Dave Chappelle and they were having a joke, how Dave would blend in seemlessly with the locals in Africa. Then Conan did some bizzare Irish impression that consisted of him 'yarring' like a pirate and contorting his face retardedly demonstrating how he would blend in with the Irish. I got a chuckle out of it because I know how ridiculous it is, how anyone can get offended from this thread is really beyond me. Perhaps the truth is hitting too close to home or something along those lines otherwise there wouldn't be much reason to be upset.

Brother was just over with a few mates:
Got talking to a few lads in a bar,
American: So when s christmas over there(presuming the whole xmas in summer in austrailia, we hope!!!!)
Bro's mate: Oh we have it in Nollaig.
American: Nollaig when s that?
Bro's mate: right after december, the thirteenth month of the year like!
American: Seriously!!
Bro's mate: Yeah we voted it in a few years ago so we wouldnt have to have the same time as the English!
American: Thats so cool!!!!!!!!!!

At this point the rest of his american friends could no longer hold their laughter and burst out.

This was the best thread on boards, pissed myself at times(not really though).
Nearly a year has passed, anymore to the collection?

Awful Scut

I don't think this can be put down to nationality as much as the effects of good dope, but anyhow.

I was in the States for the summer on a J1 in the late 90s and I was working in an outdoor burger bar. One of my colleagues was an absolute stoner, who always had great weed on him. Whenever the boss wasn't there, which was frequently, we'd go behind the bar for a puff to pass the time.

During one of these breaks, we were talking about one of the waitresses, who was quite a flirty little bint. He asked me a question, which I can't recall, but regardless, the answer I gave him was something like: "I dunno man, I think it's because she's fcuking randy".

He blinked at me in surprise and said: "Oh yeah?". Then, after about a two-second pause while he looked down at the ground, he turned to face me again said: "Who's Randy, man?".

Cue me almost throwing up with laughter.
