Shh! The myth of friendly Irish villages, surrounded by lush green fields with one or two welcoming pubs in which lovely, sad-eyed, smiling auld Irish men play traditional Irish music with fiddles, guitars, banjos and more whilst the whole clientele sings along in perfect harmony forms a significant part of the blood which flows through the Irish Tourism Board's propaganda! It is up there with Keychains with [insert common Irish surname] on to claim the heritage of one's great, great, great, great grandfather's second cousin's cat's vet who came over to Boston for work, slogging it out for many years in order to leave an inheritance so that [insert common Irish surname] IV could open [insert...]'s pub in Southie, which has auld Irish-American men playing Dropkick Murphys every Saturday night and where the beer is green all year round! You're not allowed to mention this stuff until Google and Apple start paying *some* tax. Just a little bit! Do you know how sore your fingers can get from having to play stringed instruments whenever a tourist enters your local pub? Or how difficult it is to force a smile when people enter the place you like to drink and forget wearing bumbags?
As an electrician and McDonald's consumer myself, I can vouch that we know how to fight but we also know that every blow inflicted will one day be returned to us, so that the roundabout closes and balance is restored. Namastè
This video has profoundly reshaped my comprehension of the world. I thought the mid-sized swiss town I live in was mid-sized, but seeing this mid-sized irish town, I now have to wonder what is truly "mid-sized" as my town does not posess such roundabouts nor a big Tesco. Maybe the only true mid-sized being in the universe then is Frankie himself. Namastè
Pet Shop Boys said it best when they sang; 'Sometimes you're better off dead There's a gun in your hand it's pointing at your head You think you're mad, too unstable Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables In a restaurant in a MID-SIZED town Call the police, there's a mad man around Running down underground To a dive bar in a MID-SIZED town'.
This video has changed my entire worldview. I used to think my mid-sized australian town was mid-sized, but now I realize that we are just a small outpost with 20 different cafes, all serving varying qualities of coffee, a mere speck upon this gargantuan landmass. Namaste
Props to your mid-sized Irish camerawoman for running behind you, without falling over any of those mid-sized Irish poles. That part kept me in suspense. Namaste. 🙏
Why choose large or small when you can compromise on medium? Enjoy the worst of both. The traffic patterns of the city with the long driving distances of the country. The public transport of a rural county with the pollution of a major hub. Discover complacency masked as a peaceful mind. Namaste

@2:58 Mid Sized Irish Town has the skin fade and north face puffer combo, but out of his native habitat, the larger Irish town, he covers up with a cap. This guy is a legend. Twenty years ago he would have been on Channel 4’s Brass Eye.
Pretty spot on for a mid sized American town as well. Just a bit more racist, and the machine man is a leaf blower operator who only uses the leaf blower on max setting during the hours of 5-9AM directly outside your bedroom window.
and also mid strength beers in the midsized Irish pub in the midsized Irish. Yes midstrength beers, as Ozzyman Reviews likes to say in his videos. Midstrength beer.
We have these in the North of England. The ones on the wrong side of the pennines are closest, but here in Yorkshire they are significantly more idyllic and tolerable.
I always thought I was from a mid sized town but after seeing the size of that Tesco it turns out I'm from a small town after all. Or maybe the size of a mid sized English town is different to that of a mid sized Irish town.
Depends on which part of Scotland we're talking about. And, dialectically, this also depends on which part of Ireland we're talking about. With Ireland, its more than just a "part", but its historical links to a general part of Scotland are what I'm getting at. A general part where paving stones are painted blue, white and red and where the UDA own at least one pub (that I know of). Although to be fair its a big part, and it isn't all like that. In seriousness, James Connelly wrote some good history on the links between that part of Scotland and the Six Counties. Beautiful countries both and lots in common in many ways.
I know we British have oppressed the Irish, starved you, made you eat cigarette butts etc. for 800 years and all that, but to me, that mid-sized Irish town looks like a village with a few more shops in its high street. Soz.
Maynooth basically was a village until the 1980s or so. Like lots of growing towns on the Dublin Commuter belt. Hence the underwhelming high street. If you wanna see a mid-sized "proper" town, go to Wexford or Clonmel.

I'm in a mid-sized Irish town, but our Tesco is single-storey.
I lived in a mid size town in Indiana working for the planning department. When we put in roundabouts the locals hated it.

that’s certainly a mid-sized irish video on mid-sized irish towns, outstanding and groundbreaking work as usual.
I really quite enjoyed when he Said mid sized Irish town
Going to Ireland next week this video has been very helpful.
As an American, thank you for letting me experience such a unique and confounding tour of your strange midsized town

Why do Americans love the flag so much?
Yesterday morning I woke up with Frankie's voice as my inner voice. Probably watched enough for a couple of days.#tetriseffect

2:46 "camera over here!"
My favorite part. So rude.
i'm here to watch u run by the end of the video.
I would love to live there.
i love how it feels like ireland is basically scotland but yous sound a wee bit cooler, everythings just as fucking miserable
no you 's are at least self aware.
As an Irish man I think ye Scots sound way cooler. But your dead right everything being miserable as fuck here. 😂😅

take a pint every time frankie says mid-sized
Frankie got rich parents.
as an american who probably misses a lot of the nuance, this is still hilarious
probably but a mid-sized Irish town.
Mid size maynooth
Maynooth getting rinsed
It could be in Texas or Oklahoma or Moscow. It's all a bit of a same.
Oi-rish

The interview abruptly cuts at 4:29 as Frankie promptly stabbed that guy for his backchat. Namaste.
So grey
Do ya know how to fight?
