@@BaronPhaeton But you've got hourly train service. I wish more places would take Ireland's lead and phase out short hop flights with how much damage they do.

[@BaronPhaeton]

@@ChiSoxRox2005 I don't really consider a six to eight hour drive a short hop, and whilst we do have trains, Ireland's train system is actually awful. There's very few lines, they don't meet in Dublin, are extremely expensive and so congested that the NTA's official suggestion is 'Stagger coming in to work'.

Simply Ciara xoxo actually we don't, just unfunny liberals do

[@jenster29]

Simply Ciara xoxo ha funny story. Had a huge family reunion about 5 years ago.. a lot americans came over and yes they seemed genuinely shocked. I honestly think they were expecting diddly eye jigs and 'bejaysus an begorrah' ha what they got was inner city dubliners on a trip to the bog for the weekend. Well you can imagine the faces on some of them when the alcohol started flowing. I think a few were genuinely scared.

[@erin5930]

I can’t speak to Cecily’s accent (hers sounded genuine to me, but I am far from Irish), but I definitely don’t think Irish people sound like Kate, Aidy, Alex, or Kyle. Those were sad. And given that Saoirse really is Irish, well. I don’t think I’d be THAT shocked.

[@DTD110865]

One of my brothers went to Ireland with a cousin, and some girls made a gesture he didn't recognize. Later he learned it meant that she wanted him to come into her three times or something like that.

"the salmon is also potatoes." Truly the heights of creativity have been reached here. So original.

[@titusdaniel]

The only culture it's still ok to spoof on is the Irish apparently, and there's really not that much even there to joke about. There's not a whole lot of creativity in the sketches on this show at all anymore. The pre-taped segments are still good, but the skits tend to be pretty hacky

[@voxkine9385]

Soooo... what was supposed to be funny here? I mean, they were just kinda flinging everything at the wall hoping for something to stick... and it didn’t. What was the main thread of the joke? The name joke that’s abandoned 10 seconds in? The dogs getting loose? The accents? The 5 seconds potato gag? I mean, what was this supposed to even be about?

[@IrishknifeRD]

I wanna say just a bunch of irish stereotypes and hoping they turned out funny. the accents/dogs/potatos/music. should have thrown a dance routine in there as well. the main crux was probably so she can speech in her normal voice since she was using an american accent for most of the skits but they probably could have done something different. was a miss. oh well.

Not just the plane, these SEATS are gigantic like couches. They're actually like half the size with arm rests that don't go up all the way. It makes it impossible to sleep on a row of empty seats.

I think one of the writers thought “how can I put a ton of dogs in one sketch?” and another thought “I really want to make a great sequel to our Colonel Angus sketch.” and they made both sketches threw ‘em together for time’s sake.
