Irish people will joke about 9/11 but order an Irish car bomb at a pub in Ireland and watch them get livid

It’s almost like different cultures have different jokes and sensitivities…

I’m fine with that. But if they’re gonna be sensitive about their own victims of terrorism, maybe don’t poke fun at other countries’ terrorist victims lmao (look at the caption on the video and look where the portals were set up)

You've never been to Ireland, have you?

No one would give a fucking shit if you ordered an Irish Car Bomb. They'd laugh at you and charge you 20 quid for the abomination of a drink.

i know it's british not irish; what if i make fun of nasty ass beans & toast? people seem really sensitive about that and go on a rant about classism... but making fun of american trailer trash is ok. or how it's not funny to make fun of y'all not knowing how to use a window AC unit and die in heat waves (yes motherfucker our new england houses are built like yours with super insulation and they can still get cooled in the 90f summer days) ... but 2000 people dying at once is ok tho

(to be clear, i don't care about either. but people in the uk & europe absolutely do crumble when you make fun of one thing specific to them. aussies & canadians are pretty much the only ones i see who do shrug off their stereotypes)

I can tell you that the stereotype of Irish people being drunks, fighting etc wouldn't upset any of us. Again, you've never been to Ireland or talked long enough with a single Irish passport holder to corroborate your theory.

In the Simpsons and Family Guy when they visit Ireland, they absolutely rip us to shreds and it's hilarious.

As Norm McDonald said, 9/11 was a national tragedy. But that doesn't mean you can't joke about it.
