Ah, Ireland. A beautiful country known for its stunning coastlines, rich culture, love for the potato and for giving the world St. Patrick’s Day. With a population of just over 5 million, Ireland has still managed to make quite the mark on the world. 

Another thing the Irish should be known for is their great sense of humor. We took a trip to the Ireland subreddit to dive into their culture and had a great time. With over 500k members, r/Ireland shares a wide variety of posts from memes mocking the English to jokes about their country’s impressive alcohol consumption. We’ve gathered our favorite posts, so pour yourself a Guinness, turn on your favorite Cranberries album and settle in for your Irish lesson of the day. And when you’ve finished this list, check out another Bored Panda piece highlighting Irish humor right here.
