Calvary Trailer
Yeah, what would make Aiden Gillen, a man from Dublin, put on a heavy Irish accent? Seemed really out of place for a native Irish man to have a native Irish accent. Good point, ChaosEngine.
Also, you clearly didn't watch the end of the movie where O'Dowd really shows his chops. And I think you missed out on the part where the whole point of the movie is that it's a mystery who is targeting Gleeson and half the fun is deciding who is the culprit. Bernard Black serves as a perfect scapegoat because he is a wealthy dick who might just kill someone to see what it would be like.
One Woman, 17 British Accents
If you're going to do a video about accents, buy a better quality microphone.
Her UK accents were ok (can't believe she did Liverpool, but skipped Manchester), but her Dublin accent was awful.
Anyway, there isn't even a "Dublin" accent. North Dublin and south Dublin are very different accents to say nothing of the difference between people from Cork, Limerick, the midlands, the west.....
Irish are the niggers of Europe? Reginald D Hunter
Well, a little context is in order here. I wonder if Reg even knows where this comes from. There was a very popular movie in Ireland called The Commitments, about a working class Dublin band who play soul music. (Great movie btw, I'd recommend anyone checking it out)
There's a scene where one of the musicians asks if they're not "a bit white" to play soul music. The manager responds that "The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once and say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud."
Everyone in Ireland over 20 will have either seen this movie or heard this quote.
Ireland has a really weird relationship with race. If you grew up in Ireland before the 2000s, you literally never saw anyone who wasn't white. Yes, literally. As such, Irish people will say casually racist things all the time. Sometimes, like anywhere, it's malicious, but most of the time, it's genuinely not meant as offensive.
One of the reasons I sifted this is that I actually went to see Reg this weekend. He was freaking hilarious, and in fact his entire message was explicitly stated to be one of unity.
I'm paraphrasing here, but his closing line was something like
"There is no black pain, or gay pain or female pain. There is only human pain, and when people do bad shit to other people, it hurts us all."
It's racist against both people of color AND Irish in my eyes.
You don't have to be offended for something to be racist. It only requires a differentiation by race (and not even necessarily a negative differentiation as I understand the term). You having the self control to not be upset by other people's racism (or in this case 'nationalism') is a good thing, but does not erase the racism, it only lessens it's effect.
In my opinion, calling anyone a 'nigger' (even yourself) is racist, no matter the intent and no matter the race of the speaker. The word itself is a racial insult.
I feel like calling an entire nationality any derogatory word is technically nationalist, but is intended to be racist as (in this instance) it's intention is to separate all Irish from other Europeans as a separate race in order to degrade the entire 'race' (nation).
The difference new engines make in Formula 1
Well apparently , the organisers of the Australian GP are threatening to sue because it wasn't loud enough. I remember as a kid hearing a formula 1 car in person when one did a demo lap in Dublin. The noise just blew me away, I had literally never heard anything that loud.
Personally, I think this kinda misses the point of F1. GT racing has always been more exciting because it's closer, but that's not why people watch F1. It should be about the best drivers racing the fastest cars. Yeah, the engineering is part of it. Bring back big engines, bring back ground effect, let's really see what the engineers can do.
F1 has always been as much about the technical aspect as the drivers.
And let's face it...Guitars, jet fighters, explosions.... loud things are just fucking awesome. .
Guys unload kegs to a pub in an interesting way
As a Dublin resident who sees this all the time I wish to disagree with this title on 2 counts!
1: I see this all the time and wouldn't look at it twice.
2: This is not a "local" pub. The pub in question is "The Quays" which, as a pub in very exact heart of Dublin's tourist area of Temple Bar Square is a "local" for nobody, except for maybe someone staying in the adjacent tourist hotels.
Here's almost the exact view of this video on google maps:

Now that's pretentiousness!
While I was obviously being tongue in cheek, there is an element of truth in what I said.
There's a certain amount of ritual involved in drinking Guinness. Pouring it correctly, waiting for it to settle and so on are a part of Irish (pub) culture. You don't drop in on a surfer, you don't wear shoes in a Japanese house and you don't drink Guinness until it's settled!
Oh, and @bareboards2 the bitterness is part of the taste. It's like eating anchovies and complaining that they're salty!
In case anyone wonders, yes, it's silly, and yes I get the whole "stop making me wait for a drink" gag. I'm probably suffering from a bad case of ex-pat Irishness.

Put a shot of blackberry cordial in the glass before pulling the pint.... 'tis grand, I'll tell ye that fer nuttin'.
HERESY!! You don't mess with Guinness. It is sacred.
I'm about to go all shinyblurry on everyone.
Whoever that unfunny ginger bloke is should learn some respect. It is a privilege to learn how Guinness is made. Much like Bruce Lee and Kung Fu, learning to pour a pint correctly is something that we only just recently started teaching foreigners. Woe betide the heathen who drinks before the pint has settled, and may god/allah/buddah/hitchens have mercy on your soul should you attempt to refill a pint .
Arthur J be praised.
Guinness: serious business.
I have to admit I was genuinely appalled when he did that.
