“Meanwhile In Ireland”: 50 Of The Funniest New Pics That Explain Why People Can’t Get Enough Of Ireland
Although Ireland is only 5 million residents big, the way this lush country handles itself makes it seem bigger in every way possible. Sure, for those of us who haven't had a chance to visit, Ireland is a land where Guinness runs free and Leprechauns roam casually. You might meet Liam Neeson in a pub, too.
But that's a broad generalization, folks. As highlighted by the Meanwhile in Ireland page which boasts almost 800,000 followers, Ireland is much more than that. Whether you find yourself joining a traditional Irish céilí dance, cheering on your favorite team at a lively hurling match, or getting swept up in the joyous atmosphere of a local festival, Ireland's zest for life is infectious. Oh, and they certainly know how to laugh a little.

My father used to say the same (he was a Spaniard). Maybe an universal or a shared celtic heritage?
Same in outback Australia. Once, I got talking to a road train (google it!) driver in a pub in Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. He was talking about a big road train accident. He said it was only a 'short while ago' (ten years!) and 'just up the road' (800 km).
🎶The boys are back in town🎵 you know you were singing it in your head!
I was shook when my daughter changed schools in 4th grade (2022) to learn they gave zero homework! I didn't believe her when a full week passed and she still hadn't brought any home. That is when I spoke to the teacher and she confirmed!
Water levels can change as much as 15 meters between high and low tide. This is probably a beach when the tide is out.
What you call an Irish man who sits in your garden all summer? Paddy O Furniture.
Happens so many times and once husband rings the wife and asks can he stay out longer and she gave out s#it to him everyone heard 😂🤣🙈
I feel you! I work in a building that is located in a public park and most of the times, the doors are open (it's a school). I escort *feathered birds out on a daily basis. That's because the *not so feathered birds are too scared to do it.
What is the difference? Most characters have at least lost one parent, have an evil stepparent, and live in (some kind of) dysfunctional family.
I’ve seen this before but instead it was “the grease from the rotisserie chicken I just ate in the parking lot”
When we first moved to rainy Seattle we took a one week vaca to Canada and came back to a brown yard - the neighbors told us we 'missed summer'!!! hehe
When I was very younger, I went two summers to Ireland in order to improve my English. The scene is pretty correct. But being drunk wasn't necessary.
I feel this one. It is a good 10 minutes walk from the plane to baggage reclaim.
Who drinks wine in Ireland, surrounded by all that excellent beer and whiskey? I sure didn't.
I love a Gold biscuit, but my wife hates them. It's a wonder we're still married.
Ohh, that's bad. As a Scot, I apologise on behalf of the whole nation for this unwarranted act of aggression.
Quite clearly a Northern Irish pub. As frequented by "Der Hun".
As a Mediterranean person, I have to firmly say that... well, I have no words, actually.
Did you know St. Patrick’s day is a National Holiday in the Caribbean island of Montserrat?
What's most confusing as an American is how North Ireland can be any more than one thing. You could fit two of them in between the two biggest cities in my state, and there's NOTHING but half a dozen small towns and empty land there. It's hard to conceive of a place that small having so much history.
B b b but. It's freezing cold with drizzly rain in Australia right now. Mid winter.
This post annoyed the hell out of me, not because of stereotyping (that's a given), but because most of it was ancient memes that are not even from Ireland. Irish people are well-educated and digitally literate, so plonking a photo of 3 gobshites who supposedly went to NY without phones is just ridiculous. And another of a 90-yo Iraqi man, meant to be a filthy Irish farmer, seriously? Even most of the photos aren't even the Irish countryside. If you want a true reflection of Irish wit, look up "overheard in Dublin", which is genuinely funny everyday comments from real Irish people, or look up any tourist page to see the real reason people come to Ireland - the beautiful scenery. Rant over, but now I'm feeling homesick!
Ah yes, good job BoredPanda. Yet another cruel posts stereotyping an entire country and its people. What the hell has happened to this site. You have employees who with degrees in journalism yet they’re churning out harmful posts like this because it’s pure clickbait. Do you even listen to your readers? No, you don’t because you would realise that posts like this ruin the integrity of your site.
Almost all memes/jokes are based on stereotypes e.g. gun-slinging yanks, nagging boomers, and delinquent teenagers. It just hurts when you are the butt of the joke. P.S. my wife is Irish, and we both had a good chuckle at these.
Load More Replies...For those denigrating the contents of BP and stereotypes get over it. I'm a 67 year old woman. LIFE is stereotypical. Drummed into people what they can and can't do. This is Bored Panda. NOT a news source. Bog off instead of complaining. Your CHOICE.
It's not about the stereotypes, it's because these are not really Irish!! BP writers think if they dig up ancient memes and put a new caption on them, they can write what they like. Very poorly researched article.
