I dont think jim ever felt more at home or comfortable during an interview
They looked like some fun guys to hang out with. I need more friends to slag with. Well... that and I need more friends.
@Jewels Star Thanks for the reply. There's few places that I want to travel but Ireland is one of the few places in Europe that I'd want to go to. :)
A couple of Irish lads decided to write a song, but they could never get past the first two bars.
Q: Why aren't there many Irish lawyers?
A: They have a hard time passing the bar.
Say sorry SORRY to Avi
@@fergalodriscoll5907 Fuck off!
"Work is the curse of the drinking classes". Oscar Wilde
Aye because it gives em money to buy drink
Jim just wanted a professional reason to go drinking.
He can come to Czech republic, we drink more beer per capita than anyone else and with exception of major turist destination, beer is cheaper than water!!
@@Vojtokae Oh, I do remember well. Long years ago, mid 90s we were in Pilsen. We drank quite a lot of beer in a place, asked for the bill, the waiter told us "Whatever you want". I guess he had made the experience that tourist (at that time) didn´t know how ridiculously cheap a beer was (I think something like a quarter or two for a pint) .
Good times.
@@Vojtokae the entire world owes your country for inventing the pilsner
@@Vojtokae can vouch. Went on holiday with czech lads. Never saw tgem sobre. Not once 🤣
@@wimpow Great story and i wouldn´t be surprised, given how cheap bear was in the 90s :D.
The last pub I went, when I was in Ireland for the holidays, I spent 10h there, being offered rounds and paying some on my account as well. When I got there, I had no friends in Ireland. After being there, I left with a bunch of new friends who have invited me to go and visit them, even saying they would arrange accommodations for me. That's why, I might be Swiss and Portuguese because of my parents but my heart is 100% Irish. It's where I feel the most at home. Trying to find a way to move there for good.
The place you'll find saints and sinners alike. Though a bitta kindness doesnt hurt.
@Chauncy Lautner i envy you xD
I've lived my whole life in Ireland and I've yet to find this magic free pint pub haha
You americans with your censorship, we are not able to understand irish people if there are 12 beeps in one sentence.
****s
He said cunts it was the only word that censored.
Cunt isn't even that bad a word (American for the record)
they think all politicians are c#*TS & should fuck off & leave them alone and they are not wrong
Just about every american feels the same
Remember alcohol does not solve your problems, but neither does milk and milk won't make you feel good about yourself for a few hours.
Milk wont give you liver cancer...
@@TheSuperBugsBunny alcohol won't necessarily.
@@calibrazxr750 Milk most likely won't. It's just not healthy, but fun! People should be able to consume alchohol but know it's dangers
@@TheSuperBugsBunny if people are unaware of the problems of alcohol abuse, then that could be viewed as natural selection. In all seriousness though, those that have problems with alcohol are almost certainly aware of the issues related to it, but more than likely, just don't care.
Milk never caused me to fall asleep at a strangers dinnertable
To go to Ireland and drink with the locals, is near the top of my bucket list.....to survive that visit...is at the top.
American? Don't do it in Dublin
leave them alone Rob. you would only annoy them
Be careful 😂 I study with a guy from Dublin and a Russian friend of mine and I visited him in Ireland. They got my friend (2 meters and 120 kilos) so drunk he just fell of a bar stool and passed out after just 3 hours 😂😂😂
@@GanzcastGermany lightweight
@@liamydreamy7681 Nonsense, do it in Dublin. Then in Galway, then in Cork. Survining that would be quite a story to tell, if you remember anything at all.
As an Irish guy, it's not the pub, it's the drinking culture
Its the pub..
The youth drinking culture in Ireland is shit. Young lads drinking cans and doing shots while playing dance music. It's boring af, anybody can get drunk.
It was the culture around the drinking that made Ireland interesting.
Agree as a young lad meself would rather spend money on pints to enjoy that and the experience of a pub that pre drink with a bottle of vodka just to get shitfaced
That drinking culture is present in most parts of the world nowadays
“When I wasn’t eating, when I wasn’t drinking, when I wasn’t doing anything. I was miserable” that’s alcoholism. But he’s kinda got a point
Why aren't there any Irish lawyers?
Answer: Because they can't pass the Bar! 😂
#dadjoke 😂😂😂😂
good one
"My son wouldn't be alive" oh god 😂😂 good luck, Hank

I love how Jim get's so much more drunk than those Irish people! You can't pace someone who drinks 15 a day on average!
The easiest piece of "investigative journalism" every attempted.
It's not easy being drunk all the time. If it were, everybody would do it.
Honestly it really depends person by person I think in many places like Ireland people can just manage their lives and their drinking better than here in the US. I mean those guys are still functioning dudes and they’re downing 15 pints a day holy shit
Prior to the drinking, they used to be known as the Iris. True story.
I love the Irish honesty, seem like very good people ! cool culture
When I walked into the bar I didn't realise how beautiful you were!..I nearly wasted a mouthful of brandy
I'm sure you almost wasted a mouthful of something, but it wasn't brandy! Ya puff! "taking a piss"
@@howdoweknow9125 😂 #billburr
A fellow brandy drinker!! YAY :)
We only drink four times a year in Ireland. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
😆
My Irish mates took the piss off me before. Now, are good friends.
I was in ireland 2 years ago and i loved it. familys and friends were sitting in Pubs together having a good time some pints and some good food. We made some good friends over there. I World go there always again ! I really love ireland
tackling? more like giving it a high five!
From a chemical standpoint, alcohol is a solution. As an Irish-Mexican American, it is still a solution.
Yea, maybe you do need a solution.
Did you hear that whooshing sound
I love how hydrophilic ethanol is
do you mean solution, an answer to a problem, or a solution as in a liquid?
Robert O'Rourke's love child?
Jim you are truly hilarious. I love you for always making me laugh. Thanks so much.😅
The last minute had me in stitches!
Guinness has some legendary ads. The Toucan, the surfing horses, the fish riding a bicycle. Be a bummer for them to go.
I would watch/Listen to a Podcast with Jim and some Irish lads taking a piss at each other lmao
*taking THE piss OUT OF each other
Just tryna be helpful 🤙
The regulations proposed actuallt seem good for the pub. Keep the focus away from drinks at the shop. The pub can be great, a part of culture that truly is humble in every sense.
15 pints a day? I dont have the cash to support that kind of habit. Sorry honey, I spent 50 dollars today on beer
ArticunoDosTres 15 pints would, at the bear minimum, cost €60 so like maybe $80!
Though I do actually know people (old men) who do it
Acutally in Dublin it would be something like 90 euros , so about 100 dollars.
A pint of Guiness where I live is 5.50. So 15 pints would be 82.50, but I live in Montana. I wasn't sure how much a pint is in Ireland and if they get a discount for you know clearing a keg every week by themselves.
Yeah $50 wouldn't go far in Dublin but that dude owns or runs the pub I think, lucky bastard
ArticunoDosTres He works at a friggin bar. Pouring off the tap. That’s why I’ve never gotten a job at one. 🍻cheers
Probably the best video yet!!!! Cupcakeing, genius
Why do I get thw feeling that is one of Jim favourite scenes ever....
I like to drink but 15 pints a day???? Dear lord
that's only one per hour
Jeremy Elliot if you drink for 15 hours
15 a day is a bit excessive, that kinda drinking should be kept for the weekend
Have I had 15 pints in a day? Ya. Is it good for you? Probably not. Having AN AVERAGE of 15 pints a day? Now that’s just alcoholism plain and simple
Jeremy Elliot when u put it like that LoL
I sort of remember seeing this on the show a while ago...still very funny!
So happy i found this after drinking. Seems extra special. :P
Always brilliant!!
Good ol drunk Jim. Always a good time.
15 pints a day?? I would be probably dead on day 1!
I’ve a bit of an alcohol problem. I can’t get enough of it...!
Shortest joke: A Irish walked past a pub...
There's at least one with fewer words, created by Jimmy Carr: "Dwarves shortage"
nikoladd LIAR!
Now I wanna go out and have a beer! Whoop whoop!
John Oliver already documented that the most sure fire way to fix a national drinking problem is with the re-introduction of fermented horse milk.
Drinking problem my arse! After this, I'm getting showered, changed and I'm off down the local.
I'm adding "Get pissed in Irish Pub" to me bucket list. Seems like a craic of a time.
Good craic!!
"A bit of crack”😂😂😂🇮🇪☘️🥃🍺
The rest of that clip where that guy tried to hit the other guy is hilarious, the bouncer does a smackdown on him 😂
They don't seem to be having an alcohol problem. As far as I can tell, they have plenty of it.
Miss ya, Jim!
We do have a drinking problem. That said I dont think its as bad as some make out. Having 4-5 pints on a Friday/Saturday night isnt really an issue.
The biggest drinking problem in Finland is our own government. The more regulated drinking gets only shows how much people truly love getting wasted.
I've also always wanted to know if the Irish are as violent drunks as the stereotypes suggest. Are the Irish good drinking buddies?
@@mikitz We are way less violent than the Americans...we can hold our drink much better.
mikitz it’s like, very strange, because it’s a stereotype. So no, although there are quite a few scumbags and I’ve been followed by people threatening to kill me before so, maybe drinking isn’t the best for the ole mood.
Makes me feel loads better about myself. And the 1 and only real vice I've got left.
May I interest you in some heroin?
Same here . As i have never drunk or smoked in my entire life
Cheers mate!
Been to the pub with the fight in the opening
Cheers everyone! 🍺
Irish livers have been naturally selected to withstand all alcohols,....ethanol , methanol, propanol, butanol you name it !!!!!
The ending to this bit was fucking classic
Move the alcohol to the back of the store? How stupid do these people think we are?
This makes me really want some Guinness
Lol. Anything that results in less advertising everywhere. People are gonna drink and you don't need to have all the manipulative marketing. Seriously... alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco sells itself. You can hide it in a backroom or sell it in a back alley and people who want it will still seek it out. I'm gonna drink if and when I want to and could do with less unnecessary marketing everywhere.
Funny as ever
Former alcoholic here, alcohol isn't worth it
You know what's more fun than drinking or smoking weed? Doing them at the same time...cheers mate😂😂😂
Of course! Who better than Jim to "tackle" this menace?!!!
The perfect candidate of course!
That ending was /r/wholesome
Cup caking! Will have to try that next time I'm down the pub! :-)
Drinking is just in Irish people’s blood, I doubt a bill is going to curb that. I went to an Irish funeral once and I barely was able to walk out of it. It was a great time I’ll never forget
Ireland needs to legalize weed.
really it doesnt.
@bbonner422 That's too bad... :(
A truly amazing human.
I agree, Jim is very talented.
Guy gets cupcaked."Get out of me facking pub!"
That whole thing at the beginning talking about crack really got me for a second just the look on my face would have been priceless to see I really thought they were some straight up party animals.... well in a different kind of way
I'm an occasional drinker but to treat a social problem like alcohol so lightly seems childish. Let's don't forget the families that have lost their kids/parents or friends due to alcohol; the abused kids and mothers. I liked the jokes but one must wonder: if even the politicians say that there is a social alcohol problem then things are really fucked up.
The problem is wether it's ok to be paternalistic and force grown people to do what you want them to do ''for their own good'', doesn't seem like that's a good road to go down.
There are significant problems related to alcohol in society, but I don't think government paternalism is the solution.
@@bigfan1041 The word you're obviously looking for is 'maternalism', not 'paternalism'.
As a strict individualist, I say fuck both chauvinism *and* feminism.
Since the dawn of time the Irish have been the best in the world at two things, drinking and swearing
Partying. Everytime a irish get drunk, it's one of those night you will remember forever. They are all good drunks, party and happyness all along.
@@almahperditae true that..i met a crazy Irish in portugal...they are more interesting than italians and other Europeans in general
@@tyan4380 I am portuguese, so I know exactly what you are saying lol
Fackin nailed it
Ahh jaysus the lads. My cousin is the doorman there, auld Jim had him as part of a skit he did for an Irish gig.
Now I want to go and have a beers with some Irish lads.
OK, I'm a 1st Gen Irish-American and that is the first time I have ever heard about "cupcaking." LMAO
Need a 🍺🍻 right now
How can whiskey be unhealthy when it’s the water of life
I wonder if the conversations were edited again
I’ll admit it when I first saw the title I misread ‘pubs’ as a different word....
pups? As in puppys?
That’s always what I’ve argued would fix the US’s depression and suicide problem, is lowering the drinking age to 18, and trying to usher in pub culture, mandating many pubs in every city and town.
That is the drinking age, generally. The buying age is 21.
And maybe promoting traditional family values the destruction of which are a more direct cause of social problems in the US.
Mate Ireland has a real bad depression and suicide problem and we don’t address it at all America should lower the drinking age so then can regulate their young drinkers but it won’t blip anything to prevent depression or suicide
I honestly thought I was part of the group for a sec
I see the title and think: Oh no Ireland has run out of alcohol
a bottle of whiskey a week? that's not too bad
When is the new episode coming??? It's been 4 weeks!!!
Ah the lads....👍👍👍
Roy Walker's back!
This makes me really want to have 6-7 pints with Jim.
I’m a doctor in Ireland, would you believe it or not, most of my patients, unless they show up with full blown hepatitis or cirrhosis, will claim that they only drink on weekends or “socially “ 😂
In Germany we have to understand like - all kind of English accents- in our final exams (this year Ireland) ... To watch this is just double learning and having fun.
Thanks for that
I know, light version Irish accent, but it's a start to learn :c
A bottle of whiskey a week is alcoholism?? That's what I consume on a friday night..
Congratulations.
Jim fits roight in an Irish Pub. If they had cocaine he’d out do them.
I know as a fact those 4 men would leave him in the dirt with the coke, they’d only go and get 3 more pints each
Ugh Guinness lol
This felt like an international drinking contest. It needed a sports commentator.
I was just thinking it would be great to have an Irish drinking buddy. It would probably end up in a fist fight, but who cares.
If they drink more, there is less alcohol, the price goes up or there is no alcohol to drink: problem solved.
dey drimk more
dey prodouche more
dey spends more
dey get broked more
dey get addicte more
and imma not type this text while drunk
You don't understand how economy works, do you?
We definitely have a drinking problem. When I was 13, all my mates were drinking vodka 😂 It's not normal.
He isn't that drunk that's his actual game.
and here's me thinking for the last 20+ years that it was a good "crack"
"The average drinker is consuming a bottle of whisky a week"
Welp I'm an alcoholic (2-4)
You can never take alcohol from the Irish as you can never take tea off the British or guns off the Americans
Aye, or the alcohol from the Americans either
And we know how well that went for America when they tried to ban alcohol in the 1920s
This guy didnt get the memo about the US still having dry counties all over the place.
@@zeitgeistx5239 sounds like you live in the pussy liberal states that I get shot up because you have no gun rights and you live in gun-free zones
@@zeitgeistx5239 and what the fuck do dry counties have anything to do with America rebellion against the government over the alcohol ban in then 1920s
