Late Night With James Joyce: St. Patrick's Edition

[KingOfTheBritains]

Have any of these commenters READ anything at all by James Joyce?

My God! this character he is portraying is a hilarious, walking talking Leopold Bloom!

He is acting exactly how Joyce writes; nonsensical, perverted, making up fake words and sounds, and all the time, seeming fairly both whimsical and serious.

Read Ulysses or Finnigans Wake

Joyce said himself to take his work as comedy, and that's what this guy did.

This video is hilarious, making fun of one great author, NOT all of Ireland.

[czgibson]

Have the makers of the video ever read anything by James Joyce?

[KingOfTheBritains]

They've obviously read more Joyce (or at least learned more about him, his writing style, and personality) than the commenters.

[FUDDER101]

Your a fucking idiot if u came to ireland u'd get the shit kicked out of ya an u cudnt be any less funny dat was terrible

[DubliNers14]

James Joyce is the Shit. All I have to Say.

[niceslippers]

Yawn.

[CathalJamesDaly]

hahaha ur so funny......(insert sarcasim) wat idiots!

[Funkbustaflex2]

Fuckin' pricks....takin de piss out of Irish ppl and introducin a Northern tosser as bein from Dublin.Obviously they don't know much about Ireland...retards..

[AWeekofKindness]

Nate isn't from the north, he's from Allentown. Similar accents, though.

[madfistbt]

That's one proper unfunny guy

[biko77]

shite

[bobsta7]

wat the fuck? who the fuck are these idiots ? Not fuunnY

[deafvision]

I swear all american think irish people act like this and talk like this.. come to Ireland

fucking retards..

btw I didnt laugh at this

[AWeekofKindness]

not everyone, just joyce.

[mrkevinpppfff]

disgrace, can't beleive it was on directors videos, well in fairness, it was pretty funny

[seanoc123]

Fucking fags making bollix of Irish people

[PARKOURcuNamI]

that guy that said that he works with paddys sounds like steve-o =))

[iamanengine]

desperate load of bollix

[gorey100]

There there, FUCK OFF!

[keane16cork]

this is pathetic. americans are idiots.

[AWeekofKindness]

Where did you find about about the video? We're noticing a big influx of native Irish viewers.

[Mjfan771]

it comes up on director videos at the side....Must be something with irish links on it or sumthing

[keane16cork]

under directors videos. really poor video. im actually quite embarrassed for you. you're about as funny as a damp sponge.

[colmskelly]

This guy actually knows about Joyce but it's not a great subject for comedy. Actually Joyce was very similar to this, especially when making up long words that signified the sound of a situation. Read Ulysses and you'll understand...oh wait mostly Americans...stick to your Tom Clancy.

[urbanstroller]

Weak & I've sucked James Joyce cock.

[kevconlon]

Dreadful sense of humour and absolute crap video.

An insult to u tube in fact and should be removed

[Anarking]

Get the fuck off my computer screen you horrible, unfunny bastards.

[AWeekofKindness]

You don't have to type it, just navigate away.

[kraigus]

if a white guy made stereotypes about black ppl it would be offensive why is it any different here?

[ciscofett]

Cause us Irish people are laid back most of the time. And most black people are too....I think both black and white Americans are into the PC thing way too much.....the thing that annoys me about this is people thinking that Irish people are this un-funny. LOL

[AWeekofKindness]

We're glad that were about to rouse the sleeping giant! And, to be fair, I think Joyce is hilarious, in a good way. He's a very, very funny guy.

[SuperSean91]

And these same people will turn around and say theyre "half irish"

[AWeekofKindness]

I'm half irish.

[ciscofett]

I think you're missing the point Sean's making.

Was this meant to make people laugh or cringe?

please advise ;)

[AWeekofKindness]

Sean! What a ridiculous name! You craic me up.

[ciscofett]

Nice one.....anyway avoid the question. Just like to tell you you're very funny and hope you go well in comedy. A star in the makin. Good man yourself....oh yeah work that charm

[SuperSean91]

Sorry not every american can be half irish Im sorry Really i am

[markkellr]

it not funny and at the same time its turning the irish against the americans.. and lets face it , if the irish cant stand the americans ' WHO THE FUCK DOES '....?????????

[themetallifan]

We don't hate the americans...we just hate that American quote-comedian-unquote. Guess anything's funny over there.

[AWeekofKindness]

Still, there is hate in your heart... you must let it go, you can barely breathe...

[hopekidd]

i'm insulted

seriously insulted

[brunoIreland]

bunkil I agree, very weak atempt at what ever this was meant to be

[Bunkilla]

Greatest load of crap I have ever seen, only laugh was a northern twat being introduced as being from Dublin.

[reilly2anto]

why i watched this shit ill never know

[AWeekofKindness]

free will, my friend.

[logan395]

how retarded simple as that

[infernoduke2007]

That was possibly the most unfunny video i have ever seen. I mean it was pure crap

[GillatenusPig]

XD stupid americans with their retarded jokes!! doesnt take much to humour them in-bread, hick mother fuckers!!

oh sorry did i stereotype and assume that all of yous wer from alabama and fucked your cousins, oh well im so sorry.....NOT XD

[xXEimearDHXx]

that legend that pulled that tape... i salute ya!!! lol

[TheREALSisko]

Americans know who James Joyce was?

[sonnyliston07]

the paddy word ,irish can call each other paddys ,but don't arrive in ireland & start calling everyone paddy,not adviced,crap irish accent to.

[xXEimearDHXx]

eh, no we dont.

[fiendishfreddie]

Idiots armed with a camcorder, low intelligence, bad taste and bad Yank humour.

AWeekofKindness; the way you portray yourselves in this video gives a bad view of the millions of intelligent, tasteful Americans and only gives rise to world perception that Americans are stupid and for the record, James Joyce was a literary genius, read Ulysses, although i doubt you have the brain capacity. Oh and if Bill Hicks or Richard Pryor could see this they would be turning in their graves

[paudical]

I don't care about stereotyping because we Irish do it just as much as anyone.

The complete lack of laughs would be my main problem

[dannyodwyer]

so lame

[jackandbeanstalk]

So that means we all do does it?

Nice one, make assumptions about an entire nation based on one man who lived over a hundered years ago.

just look at the comments your getting from other irish people ffs

[AWeekofKindness]

Well, as far as I can tell, there is one specific Irishman, and only one, that we're having a go at in this video. So while we all know that all Irishmen don't necessarily behave that way, we must acknowledge that most James Joyces do.

[jackandbeanstalk]

ok I just had a problem with the ridiculous sterotypes

the ginger guy dressed as a leprechaun

the stupid traditional music

the way james says "top of the mornin" (in my entire life I have never heard an irisH person say this)

and for god sake...he is introduced as from dublin

but his accent is some kind of northern thing i dunno..def not dublin

and also..It'S JUST NOT FUNNY

[risteardsean]

exactly. fucking thicks no nothing

[loaded187]

it sounds like he has a derry accent

[ment2]

yes... james joyce acted like that. ulysees, athousand pages of poetry and he'd act like that. know who your stereotyping in future man. it just wasn't funny, you have a poor sense of humor.

[murt1000]

ya fuckin muppit.not funny.from a Dubliner

[jackandbeanstalk]

Fuck sake

we irish are sick off this overly "oirish" perception of us.

we do not all go around riverdancing, dressed as leprechauns wearing green and quoting James Joyce.

Stop this ridiculousness

[AWeekofKindness]

Well, to be fair, James Joyce did a lot of James Joyce quoting in his time.

[joyceandream]

Please do not inflict your deficiency on society one moment longer...an embarrassing piece of pseudohumour is not creativity or comedy.

[Mjfan771]

Is this supposed to be funny? haha bullshit

[plug007]

What a stupid video, americans should be banned from comedy!

try Dave McSavage, what a legend.

[LCDscreen2521]

I thought it was funny....

[identty]

U guys ROCK!

[gjwhite]

Frottage. Well played!

[thebeardedjohn]

Learn to be funny.

The people being interviewed were a lot funnier.

[funkeemunky]

ha, I wouldve walked away mid-interview. those people were patient

[GanDyPoop]

the whole 'moose anus' and weird noises are funny because Joyce wrote shit like that. anyway it still was more annoying than anything. absoultely terrible

[AWeekofKindness]

yeah, no weird noises... nothing like "Blady ugh foul moecklenburg whurawhorascorta strumpa porna nenny kocks apastippatappatupper strip puck puttanach."

[affinity2412]

dude all my friends and i think the video's freakin hilarious - nice job

[SIMPFANN]

To reduce James Joyce to this kind of lowbrow idiocy is to insult a great man and is a very, very sad indication of the "intelligence" of the average person.

[AWeekofKindness]

This coming from a guy whose username proclaims his love of Jessica Simpson.

[SIMPFANN]

For your information, my user name proclaims my love of "The Simpsons", the TV show- Jessica Simpson is a useless bimbo.

[AWeekofKindness]

I believe the show you're thinking of is called Newlyweds, sir. I can see how someone would think it was called "The Simpsons."

[SIMPFANN]

You, sir, are what in the internet community is referred to as a troll- the fact that you feel the need to personally insult the intelligence of a total stranger just because they didn't like this silly little video is pathetic- I look forward to blocking you now.

[AWeekofKindness]

I believe you just insulted the intelligence of perhaps millions of total strangers with your initial comment. we're deflating you because your tone was so needlessly condescending that you begged for it. But I'm also a fann of football players who might be murderers, so let's be friends.

[SIMPFANN]

Then allow me to rephrase my initial comment in simpler terms: this video is moronic and not funny. If making weird noises and saying things like "moose anus" is your idea of humor..get well soon.

[AWeekofKindness]

Well, that's what you should have said before, and you're entitled to that. That would have been clearer than making it a big portent of how dumb people are becoming.

I'm just saying...the dude who goes on other people's video boards to make insults is more like the "troll" you described than the guy who just tries to defend himself on his own board.

PS. we said more things than "moose anus." I'm sorry you didn't like the moose anus part.

PPS. OJ probably did it.

[SIMPFANN]

Fair enough..for the record though the only Simpsons I care about are Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.

[AWeekofKindness]

Fair enough, but for the record though, 80% of those people are fictional.

[SIMPFANN]

I know, but I still think they're funny.

[AWeekofKindness]

Moose anus.

[keane16cork]

very true.
