Does this really need subtitles? How uncultured do you have to be to not understand various accents? It was a good laugh though. Thanks for the upload!
@mightynurse lol I see your point. These aren't official subs from a DVD though. Begs the question of why going to all that bother for a 7 minute clip.
@poppy2365 why are you proud to be northern irish? tayto was founded by Joe Murphy in co.mayo in 1954. Tandragee Castle just licenced the same name and recipes in 1956, sorry to burst your bubble but tayto is IRISH ;)
Until the modern Irish crisp manufacturing revolution, the lactic by-product industry had stagnated under ferocious vegan pressure, and France had stiffled all attempts to genetically engineer any other competitors to the smelly root vegetable market.
Until, a brave dairy and vegetable experimenting Irish food scientist, Mr. Tayto, "actually invented Cheese and Onion."
@afivey Sarcasm aside, Tayto did invent the flavour. Joe Murphy and Seamus Burke created it. They also invented Salt and Vinegar. Before that, the only added flavouring on crisps came from little packets of salt included with the crisps. They were pioneers in how flavouring was added to potato chips. Every crisp company in the world owes their many flavours to Tayto. It's how we took our revenge on the potato after the famine. We drowned it in grease and artificial flavours lol
Dara mentioned Denny's, Fuck them bunch of cunts, I used to work in their factory in Northern Ireland and was made redundant 2 years ago, just because those fuckers moved everything to England.
My friend moved to America and when she visits she buys loads of Tayto, cadbury's, and HB cause she can't get them over there and she misses them (especially cadbury's)
on a side note with the crap weather all may in ireland seen a billboard for bottled water with the caption,so irish it thinks summer is a day in july
he's right about the Tayto. I've been in New Zealand for a year and anything I'm getting something sent from home I ask for some Tayto. Can't buy them down here
@ShogunnSlimm Oh so you were saying "yea your not" in context to YOUR original post? Or you were saying "that made no sence(sp)?" in context to YOUR original post? Who are you trying to talk to here?
@HPDMRLSB I hate to be the bearer of bad news and knock you off your high horse but 'craic' in this context is infact an English word brought over to Ireland via the Ulster Scots in Northern Ireland who then changed the spelling from the original 'crack'. 
I read an explanation about that joke in his book, and he made his point about how the Tayto crisps had quite a history in Ireland, but it's just so much funnier and alot easier to see what he was getting at with this footage, so thank you very much, just hillarious.
@HPDMRLSB Its probably a Yank who did the subtitles I never have a problem with understanding Dara or any Irish comedians for that matter but Americans need subtitles for almost anything outside the states whether they speak English or not. Fair enough for the miss-spelling of craic as well I get annoyed when English words get twisted by Americans.
Hate to have to tell ya, but it's craic thats the fake word. its crack really, check it out. go back a bit, look a bit closer. eg "the crack was ninety in the isle of man" im irish btw.
I just discovered Dara this week, here on YouTube, and love his work.  This man is BRILLIANT, and should be making buckets of money doing shows here in the states as well.
Another brilliant man that is not well known here is Tim Minchin. You folks have a lot offer!
I'm from the U.S. and have a naive question. Are "crisps" the same thing as we call "chips"? And if so, are English/Irish "chips" what we would call "fries" here in the states?
LOL!! How many ways can you fry a potato and call it different things that all mean the same? Language is fun!
@rmcdaniel423 umm yeah, your "chips" are what we call "crisps", and we have "fries" and "chips", chips are generally the chunkier home-made ones, and fries are the ones you get in macdonalds :) lmao
is there something particularly special about "more than my family, more than my friends, more than the summer sun...?" are these lines from a TV commercial or something? (i'm not from Ireland so i have no idea)
@qhlpp no i think he was just joking about how out of all the difficulties of living abroad like missing family and friends, the only one the guy asked about was tayto crisps
Those fecking horrible NI Tayto are the only ones to be found, very occasionally, in England... and they're just not the same at all! What the hell is it that Tayto put in the crisps bound for the republic? Is it the same outlawed ingredient that means TK and Cochrans Red Lemonade is prohibited from being exported out of Ireland??
@HPDMRLSB Why are you demanding that a person hired to transcribe English speak fluent enough Irish to discern homophones in a (to him/her) foreign language?
Although I don't really understand why there's subtitles in the first place.
@HPDMRLSB. I think it's because he does use the word in all his English shows as well, and to us, it really does just sound like "crack" - and English people do use that phrase with the word "crack", so it probably doesn't occur to anyone that it might be an actaul Irish word.
Ireland has their own crisp companies? I didn't even know we did in England, I thought they were imported or something. If the subtitles are for English, we can understand what he's saying!! Irish accents are the best. Ever. English are ok, but they're boring. Or maybe I'm just prejudiced cause I live there.
@HPDMRLSB I spent six years living in Dublin , loved it, loved the people and everyone work, social etc made a Scottish woman welcome. You have names like Siobhain and then expect an English person to work out how to pronounce it (ok I'm Scottish but just go with it) that doesn't know to them it should read something like chivonn. Dun Laoghaire would sound like Dun Leerie not Dun Lagare as I pronounced it no one took offence thought it funny like I did knowing I got it wrong! I met true Irish
@HPDMRLSB : Ypu have a fair point and you may have spotted that whoever titled it spelled "Mikado" a bit like Dara pronounces it and spells " Mercado". It just isnt the same to us Irish people. haha
death slayer, it's text typing, not subtitles. it' for the benefit of the deaf, obviously, after all, cheering and applause does not need 'translation'.
Most of us on this island aren't in the UK, you seem nice but it annoys the fuck out of us that ye keep mixing this up. Do a wikipedia search on UK and see what territories come up...
@HPDMRLSB Well, an English-speaking person who didn't know the word 'craic' would assume he was saying crack - they're homophones! The subtitler has put a lot of effort into this, and I'm sure it was a simple unknowing mistake. Let it slide, enjoy the craic, and assume that the subtitler meant no harm. Which I'm sure he/she didn't. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry, but 'craic' as Irish is total and utter crap. It's Gaelicisation of words for the sake of it to make people think that a different, secret language is being spoken and a nice ploy by the Irish tourist board and Irish themed pubs - not that I blame them really. Crack has been used as a word in English/Scottish dialect for ages, loosely based around phrases like 'crack a joke' etc. It is a word Gaelicised and borrowed into the Irish language. It's completely foreign. Look it up.
I don't know why people get so heated about this. Craic came from the work crack to 'crack a joke'. That's where it comes from. It's not an Irish word. Look it up. Diarmaid Ó Muirithe in the Irish Times described it as "the constant Gaelicisation of the good old English-Scottish dialect word crack as craic sets my teeth on edge." That's it. That's where it comes from.
English language specialist Diarmaid Ó Muirithe wrote in his Irish Times column "The Words We Use" that "the constant Gaelicisation of the good old English-Scottish dialect word crack as craic sets my teeth on edge." :P
Diddems. It seems some of us can't accept fact and none of the fanboys bothered to do any research at all - and are whinging now they've been proved wrong. You actually admit you know you're wrong by claiming that the meaning of the word has now changed somehow - which means you actually know it's the same word. rofl
If you have any evidence as to the contrary and how the meaning has somehow 'magically' changed then I'm all ears. :P When you point this out no one can actually tell you. lol
If i had online sources to cite i'd be in wikipedia and you'd be agreeing with me. As for offline citations i could direct you to a few university language professors but you'd need an academic email address to get past their spam filters.
ROTFL. No, because I'd verify those sources. Diarmaid Ó Muirithe certainly did write what he wrote in the Irish Times about the word in question. Like I said, if you want to refute them then come up with something meaningful people can actually look at.
All you have are some 'university language professors' who you don't name and don't cite and can't cite. Why? Because you know you're wrong. Like I said, you've already admitted the 'two words' are actually one and the same. ;-)
I don't know anything about crack/craic, but I have studied a bit of linguistics and words change meanings ALL the time. It's not magic, it's just how it is. Which is why Beowulf is incomprehensible to modern audiences and even Shakespeare throws lots of people for a loop. Languages and words change, that's why there's so many of them.
Sorry to tell you, as an Englishman living in Ireland but...
Craic isn't a true Irish word (or at least wasn't until fairly recently). Look up the word Craic on Wikipedia and it will tell you that it's a British word (Crack) imported to Ireland via the North and then given the Gaelicized spelling of Craic. So whilst your correct the subtitles are also correct... That doesn't solve the problem of why they need subtitles in the first place, unless it's aimed at the hard of hearing.
I think a lot of English people know it`s spelled Craic, however we`ve had so many words bastardised by the yanks it`s time to start doing some ourselves! ;-)
You used to be able to get Tayto in England. Terrible crisps! Even Golden Wonder were better. I suppose it`s something you have to have grown up with.
I remember in a nightclub once, I tried Guinness, I didn't like it. Anyway, I got talking to an Irish girl at the bar, and she said "you have to get a taste for it"
wonder if it's something to do with how stuffs made over there...
But it depends if you had an Irish Guinness or a British one. The water used is different and it seems to not have transfered across the water on how to pull a pint properly. There's a load of factors to a good pint. Some of the old men would be very particular about it and would accept a pint you pulled off you if he thought you weren't used to doing it.
But all an all Tayto crisps are excellent! Mr Tayto man with his yellow and red. The shimmering packet filled with joyous gold! : )
ahh, well since it was in an British nightclub, probably would've been British water. Also, it DID have a large head on it, that might've added to the dodgy (to me) taste.
Tasted like coffee :S
As for Tayto crisps, I remember looking on the official page after seeing this joke on the dvd of the show, found the little guy funny haha :)
Awesome! I've read about this moment in his book "Tickling the English" and, as I am English, didn't get the entire Tayto bit (why is that so funny? If anyone cares to explain...? I know that sort of kills the joke but he does mention it quite a bit in the book...) and in the book it was ok. But live! That's was bloody hilarious! (plus Aoife is now my favourite name)
Well, at least now I know what location to look for a flat in! Cheers...real Tayto tho, not the UK equivalent of the same name, cause that just doesn't work for me...
no the real shtuff in clapham common to be exact, i was langers last time i was there but i do remember we were in Bar Local first and we went to a pub to the right of it and it was all wood, the bar was in the centre in a rectangle.... this was where the shots started but im sure it was an irish bar cos he asked for my id where my reply was "sure, i'm irish and ive just seen tayto", they were smokey bacon-the job like try o neills pub ...worth a try if ur desperate for them
There's a little political thing that says all media should be accessible to those who are deaf and blind, like buildings with more than one floor need to have either an escalator or lift.
What I find amazing is, as soon as there're subtitles, we watch them instead of watching the show :P

@HPDMRLSB Well, an English-speaking person who didn't know the word 'craic' would assume he was saying crack - they're homophones! The subtitler has put a lot of effort into this, and I'm sure it was a simple unknowing mistake. Let it slide, enjoy the craic, and assume that the subtitler meant no harm. Which I'm sure he/she didn't. :)

Sorry, but 'craic' as Irish is total and utter crap. It's Gaelicisation of words for the sake of it to make people think that a different, secret language is being spoken and a nice ploy by the Irish tourist board and Irish themed pubs - not that I blame them really. Crack has been used as a word in English/Scottish dialect for ages, loosely based around phrases like 'crack a joke' etc. It is a word Gaelicised and borrowed into the Irish language. It's completely foreign. Look it up.

I don't know why people get so heated about this. Craic came from the work crack to 'crack a joke'. That's where it comes from. It's not an Irish word. Look it up. Diarmaid Ó Muirithe in the Irish Times described it as "the constant Gaelicisation of the good old English-Scottish dialect word crack as craic sets my teeth on edge." That's it. That's where it comes from.

You should change your name to wikipedia. It would suit you better opinionless boy.
The words meaning has changed from the original they quote and the change from crack to craic was so that it could be a uniquely identifiable word.

Diddems. It seems some of us can't accept fact and none of the fanboys bothered to do any research at all - and are whinging now they've been proved wrong. You actually admit you know you're wrong by claiming that the meaning of the word has now changed somehow - which means you actually know it's the same word. rofl
If you have any evidence as to the contrary and how the meaning has somehow 'magically' changed then I'm all ears. :P When you point this out no one can actually tell you. lol

If i had online sources to cite i'd be in wikipedia and you'd be agreeing with me. As for offline citations i could direct you to a few university language professors but you'd need an academic email address to get past their spam filters.

ROTFL. No, because I'd verify those sources. Diarmaid Ó Muirithe certainly did write what he wrote in the Irish Times about the word in question. Like I said, if you want to refute them then come up with something meaningful people can actually look at.
All you have are some 'university language professors' who you don't name and don't cite and can't cite. Why? Because you know you're wrong. Like I said, you've already admitted the 'two words' are actually one and the same. ;-)

I don't know anything about crack/craic, but I have studied a bit of linguistics and words change meanings ALL the time. It's not magic, it's just how it is. Which is why Beowulf is incomprehensible to modern audiences and even Shakespeare throws lots of people for a loop. Languages and words change, that's why there's so many of them.

Sorry to tell you, as an Englishman living in Ireland but...
Craic isn't a true Irish word (or at least wasn't until fairly recently). Look up the word Craic on Wikipedia and it will tell you that it's a British word (Crack) imported to Ireland via the North and then given the Gaelicized spelling of Craic. So whilst your correct the subtitles are also correct... That doesn't solve the problem of why they need subtitles in the first place, unless it's aimed at the hard of hearing.

I think a lot of English people know it`s spelled Craic, however we`ve had so many words bastardised by the yanks it`s time to start doing some ourselves! ;-)

You used to be able to get Tayto in England. Terrible crisps! Even Golden Wonder were better. I suppose it`s something you have to have grown up with.

I remember in a nightclub once, I tried Guinness, I didn't like it. Anyway, I got talking to an Irish girl at the bar, and she said "you have to get a taste for it"
wonder if it's something to do with how stuffs made over there...

But it depends if you had an Irish Guinness or a British one. The water used is different and it seems to not have transfered across the water on how to pull a pint properly. There's a load of factors to a good pint. Some of the old men would be very particular about it and would accept a pint you pulled off you if he thought you weren't used to doing it.
But all an all Tayto crisps are excellent! Mr Tayto man with his yellow and red. The shimmering packet filled with joyous gold! : )
linkinparkingra 2 years ago
ahh, well since it was in an British nightclub, probably would've been British water. Also, it DID have a large head on it, that might've added to the dodgy (to me) taste.
Tasted like coffee :S
As for Tayto crisps, I remember looking on the official page after seeing this joke on the dvd of the show, found the little guy funny haha :)
never had any packets though :(

Awesome! I've read about this moment in his book "Tickling the English" and, as I am English, didn't get the entire Tayto bit (why is that so funny? If anyone cares to explain...? I know that sort of kills the joke but he does mention it quite a bit in the book...) and in the book it was ok. But live! That's was bloody hilarious! (plus Aoife is now my favourite name)

There's a little political thing that says all media should be accessible to those who are deaf and blind, like buildings with more than one floor need to have either an escalator or lift.
What I find amazing is, as soon as there're subtitles, we watch them instead of watching the show :P
