1. If there’s an opportunity to make a silly pun in a national newspaper, an Irishman will seize it with both hands
Whoops!

Good man, Frank.
2. A Cork accent just instantly makes everything funnier
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
And this leads to lots of bad attempts at Cork accents. (Sorry, native Corkonians.)
3. We have an appreciation for irony
4. Enda jokes will never not be funny to an Irish person
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
5. Shouting “Waaaaahey” when someone, say, drops a pint glass is just good banter
Also appropriate when someone opens a can of cheap beer that explodes
6. “Your mother” or “Your ma” always works as a punchline
Did you hear Padraic scored someone last night?
Who?
Your mother!!!!!!!!!
Fact: 90% of conversations between Irish teenage boys consist of them just roaring “your mother” at each other.
7. We never miss an opportunity to slag one another
Not even Bono is exempt from our sharp tongues.
8. If we spot the word “canal” we are physically unable to resist changing it to “anal”
Our arms just move by themselves, honest.
9. We’re not averse to a bit of smut
10. We have a fairly filthy sense of humour, really
We love a bit of double entendre, don’t we?
11. You can’t say this without sniggering/thinking you sound like Father Jack
12. But we’re not all just about being immature… in fact we can get a little dark sometimes
Case in point? This is what comes up when you click on a broken link on RTÉ.
Damn.
