Tullamore DEW - No Irish Need Apply

[@bruceschneider4928]

I learned about "No Irish need apply" from my grandfather, when I was 8 years old. I found a sign in his attic with that message on it. I brought it downstairs and asked him about it. He told me it's meaning, and that he went to the attic once a year to look at it, to remind himself of why he should never treat others badly, just because they were different from him. My grandfather had taken that sign from a Boston store window when he was young. He started a business, and had employees of every stripe for 60 years. Cheers to my grandfather!

[@ivanrayanguiano3217]

Sounds like a wonderful man, cheers to him 🥃

[@jillyjetsfan8739]

Cheers to your grandfather!! My great grandma taught me about it when she showed me a slide picture she had taken of the sign in the window in my city. I hate that they're now trying to erase that! Saying it never happened. I actually just ordered a replica so I can teach my nieces and nephews about it.

[@thealkymyst]

Ironic that same mindset of welcoming the other has killed Ireland itself then, and caused severe harm to all the cultures of the West.

[@nancyvargas2279]

This commercial never gets old. It's one of my all time favorites.

[@imaginaryenemy2565]

No Irish need apply We say goodbye Make our mothers cry Break hearts for the dream And no Irish need apply Who built the bridge's mate And scrapped the city sky And bled with your sons And so The blend begun when I wed your lovely daughter Maybe you shouldn't ought of but you gave her away to be with me now what do you think you gonna buy me a drink Aye With these hands And with this heart I touch you and we never stand apart E pluribus bleeding unum Have you got it Do you know what that means It means blend Blend is the backbone of this place Look around ya Every generations got a different face Some very different Some pretty like me Everyones gorgeous if you open your eyes to see We were all them once now we're just us Just U.S. Ask your old granny if you need more proof Now take a look in the mirror then you see the truth The blend I am blend And so are you And you And you And that other fella too We are all blend from the beginning To the end So glasses up And I'll say aye To the beauty of blend

Was recently in Ireland and was missing the accent and curious about what their commercials were like since one doesn't travel abroad to watch TV. I Stumbled across this ad. American here. I wasn't prepared to get choked up over a commercial, but his verse highlights an aspiration to unity as Americans and citizens of the world so eloquently. In a political atmosphere that is so shattered, this message calls on US to blend and come together. Way great, Tullamore Dew.

[@maxwellis4645]

This has to be one of the best series of alcohol commercials in history 💯🔥 Not just because of the love for my heritage 🍀 But it was so informative, thoughtful, and pure. Love em', And Tullamore DEW isn't bad either 🔥

[@christal2641]

This inspiring series brings a tear to the eye and a swell of pride in my heart for my ancestors. especially for those who sacrificed for Racial Justice. "If all the minorities joined together, we wouldn't be a minority any longer ." Why should loving one's own ethnic heritage, not be deepened by appreciating the struggles and strengths of other people's?

[@juliec752]

Thank you Tullamore, after seeing your commercial on The Late Show with Colbert I had to play it for my husband. We were both floored by the words and sentiment. My parents and siblings seemed to have forgotten they were some of those immigrant Irish and Sicilian that were considered rapists and murderers. Thanks for having the guts to say that. we'll remember your name when we go to buy Whisky!

[@gabriels2859]

I wholeheartedly agree except spell whiskEy right, damn it! Hahaha :p

[@macnac20]

I agree but would point out the Blend our families blended and added to the culture some of todays immigrants don't blend

[@traildog_adventures]

Gabriel S it was originally spelled without the e. Look at any bottle of Scotch and you will see it spelled whisky still. One of the Irish Distillers started adding an e as a marketing gimmick, I do t remember which one it was. So in reality either way is the right way to spell whisk(e)y.

[@WallStwizkid]

@Julie C There is very little justification for the Irish to claim victim status. There is evidence to suggest those signs were rare, and typically posted by other newly arrived immigrants who were ethno-warring for the economic pie.

[@traildog_adventures]

Jonathan CF I agree not to be claiming victim status with a huge caveat. No one who hasn't personally experienced the action they are trying to claim victim status for has any right to it. With that said, you need to be doing a lot more reading of the history of the newly arrived immigrants into the US. The No Irish need apply signs were a lot more prevalent than you are giving credit for and it wasn't by other newly arrived immigrants. They were from the years of the Potato blight, when the Irish were the largest influx of immigrants. After the civil war the bias towards immigrants shifted from the Irish to the Germans, then to the Italians, then the Eastern Europeans. Although thankfully the Irish were the only ones to have had signs made specifically saying not to apply. Although with our current political climate I wouldn't be surprised if some jaggoff were to make a similar sign for Hispanics now.

We are a blended country whos immigrants came to America for a better life. They worked hard without government handouts and assimilated and blended into the culture. My Great Grandfather once told me "Yes Michael we are proud of our Irish past but proud to be called an American" Oh I do love Tullamore Dew

[@NonComDemon]

Thank you. That's exactly what I feel this commercial is subtly stating.

[@christal2641]

Most immigrants here have always said the same. The 3rd generation is nostalgic for the Olde Country, just in time to listen to the stories of the first generation. Brits outlawed Gaelic, so when they starved the Irish, we were arrived on America as native English speakers. That sped up our assimilation. Still, "shanty Irish" suffered from ethnic slurs and prejudice, well into the XXth century. (Prohibition was in part a Protestant reaction against Irish & Italian immigrants.)

[@BobPapadopoulos]

Third generation immigrants? So... you mean native citizens.

[@wideopen5578]

The commercial clearly states it's deeper than a "blended country".

[@JoseCorrea]
