IF YOU DON’T watch a single series of Real Housewives, you’re missing out.
They’re all over the place. Orange County, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, and many, many, MANY more. Sure we even had our own Dublin Wives back in the dark days.
In the latest episode of the show, the housewives hit Ireland and it was an absolute shambles.
Americans were even taking to social media to apologise
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet

We knew it was gonna be interesting when the opening involved one wife, Kelly Dodd, asking her husband what there is to do in Ireland.
Temple Bar is kinda cool, the people are amazing, salt of the earth. They’ll love YOU.
WILL WE?
The initial shots were quite nice
Kelly immediately confirmed our suspicions when she asked the poor driver waiting at the airport “how you say top of the morning?”
Poor Sean, he had to play along
They then started reading a list of 39 Irish phrases you need to learn before you visit, including a ‘whale of a time’ and ‘hooly kickin’, which apparently means we’re living it up.
WTF?
They stayed in the Powerscourt hotel, which is well for them tbf
They attempted to speak Irish
It didn’t go quite well.

And were were given Black Velvet cocktails, Guinness and champagne
Jesus, are we playing stereotype bingo here?
Vulture recapper Brian Boylan said:
This is actually the worst thing to ever befall the Irish nation. Worse than the potato famine, worse than the Catholic Church and their abuse scandals, worse than the IRA, worse than the fall of the Celtic Tiger, and most certainly worse than Jedward.
Yep.
When talking to the hotel manager, the first mention of Lucky Charms came up
This is the face of a man who is done with your shit, lady.
Ireland t-shirts were worn during their usual screaming-matches
And crap Irish accent souvenirs were bought
They said top o the morning at least ten more times
“That’s the River Dance, right?”
They went into the Norseman for a few pints, like every tourist ever and had Baby Guinness
They could not get their head around the word craic

Then this drunk gal got a lesson on how to pull a pint with a poor barman from the Old Storehouse
After a stop off at Brown Thomas, a few dramatic scraps, and dinner and a singsong at Johnny Foxes, the ladies all went home.
