  • @italiamk4 really? I'd be more inclined to think the Americans need to take a trip to specsavers.

  • considering that the purpose of a lighthouse is so it can seen for miles off shore even in bad weather, all i got from this is that the irish cant maintain a lighthouse properly

  • @italiamk4 shupder

  • It is the US army, not British as your description depicts lol :)

    But always love this it makes me laugh

  • It is the US army, not British as your description depicts lol :)

  • I heard this joke in the Navy. Fucking hilarious that they made it into a commercial.

  • lol Funny as hell,wat are people getting angry for,how is it making fun of anyone?

  • Meh I didn't know the irish had a navy ^^

  • Can ye stfu about how we are all idiots and dumbasses,it's juss a joke people need to chillax.

  • I honestly can't see where all this hate is from? Learn to have a laugh. If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like. As for the subtitles at the bottom, meh. It was the clearest version I could get of this video, so subtitled it is. Some people say I should update the title, but I won't. The comments are more fun. That, and if it was "English Navy -v- Ireland", you'd have more scallywags sprouting crap on here :'(

  • @thesyco

    I love this joke, but is there any evidence to support it actually happened? What year, and what Lighthouse? and what was the name of the British ship involved?

  • Thats the US Navy Because he said USS Montana and 2 that wasen't irish lighthouse you son of a bitch

  • Comment removed

  • I just like making fun of Americans ;)

  • only cause your jealous. We rule the fucking world bitch.

  • Definitely not jealous of a country with so many flaws. Also, I dont think the disrespectful language proved your point at all. It only proved one of the flaws!

    hehe :) Love eachother!

  • you say "love each other" right after you say "i just like making fun of Americans"

    Contradicting yourself maybe???

    Of course we have flaws, but that doesn't negate the fact that we are the greatest nation on earth right now. Richest, most powerful, AND influential.

    HAHAHAHAHA that means Sweden has over 2x more debt than the USA.

    YOU FAIL.

  • @LTcrisp17 you may also want to know why it was a pisstake.... Typo... Esentially the same thing in the end to large arrogant imperialist nations.

  • If aliens came and read youtube comments, they'd blow us up and feel good about it. You people are idiots, this is a funny clip, and nationalism ought have nothing to do with it.

    you stupid american faggot

  • where u from then. and no were not drink loving bastards or leprechauns either,

  • For the record a Mick is an Aussie.

  • NO U

  • Sorry sense when does the USS Montana serve as a british naval ship? Here i thought all british naval ships started with HMQ..

    O wait your american? AAAAA that explains why everything doesnt make sense and is complete bullshit. Never mind then.

  • H.M.S.

  • you must be an american, this is a US Navy Ship, this shows your arrogance and this video points out that America thinks they are the best.

    "A pisstake of when the British Navy came head to head with an Irish lighthouse. "

    Britsh is supposed to be American.

  • CrackBadger52: agreed. We have lighthouses. Shaped like WMD's, they are very dangerous... :D :P

  • some people have no sense of fucking humour, lighten up... I think you might be a little confused rafferty444 haha. the guys on the ship were american but they are talking,via radio com, to an irish man in a lighthouse.

  • To all morons sayling about an irish accent, try and listen the only words said with an irish accent are at the end "fare enough" as the rest is American , for fek sake we have 2 feking ships and both of those are just small dingies that hold a dozen men. and the uniforms are American , try and pay attention morons.

  • the uniforms are meant to be american because it was an american ship...you obviously didn't get the joke!

  • For fek sake you morons never read what i say clearly , this is an advert that was scandinavian to sell some sort of electronic device , it was then voiced over for different countries around the world , it has never been on Irish TV , it is either Aussie or canadian or american but not an irish accent, the only irish words come at the very end where some irish person has put his own voice onto it and then posted the thing on here.i have seen the actual advert and the very end words r not on it

  • rafferty mate, your wrong. this ad was not on irish tv ill give you that. it is scandanavian or somethin. it was not voiced over though. the original was shown on chris tarents o0r the likes. but that is and always was an irish accent my man.

  • very very funny

  • Don't mess with Ireland. We have lighthouses.

  • What the hell? its an AMERICAN WARSHIP.

  • Wow... nice.

  • Aye it's true, USS=American ships.

    H.M.S.=British ships.

  • You know this never happened right? And the nationality of the lighthouse seems to change in every telling. Check Snopes.

  • Yeh, but he has an Irish accent.

  • LOL stupid british cunts!

  • dumb shit deadly they arent british they are american dumb douche bag cunt

  • It's the USS, American and It also never happened.

  • That is so funny! ha-ha, ha-ha ha ha

  • hahahahahahaahahahahaah

  • Funny, but it could never happen.

  • That is hilarious!!! I can't stop laughing.

  • y does it say in the info british navy? this is an american destroyer u tit

  • hey USS means american

  • Hi, it made me laugh to-day, Thanks ,

    PS ,I do love the yankees, But Canocks GOGOGO, There gone.Xty.

  • it did happen before ohya we have the best navy well beat you with light houses!

  • brilliant

  • funny lol

  • This actually happened a few years back.

    US captain became a laughing stock but it wasn't the Montana and I can't recall the actual ships name.

  • irish ? Then why does it stand on swedish at the text at the end? (:

  • It's an Irish Accent speaking.

  • yes the guy in the lighthouse has an irish accent

    dublin middle class to be exact

  • Who really cares where the guy is from?

    Its a good vid, screw the guys in there lol

  • lmfo

  • fucking brill =D

  • problem being altho funny as fuck , the guy in the lighthouse has not got an irish accent, and as far as im aware no ligh house on the east coast (where the irish sea is) dont have maned houses.

  • The guy in the lighthouse does have an Irish accent and the vid's set in the North Atlantic, not the Irish sea.

  • Oh aye, didn't see the very start of it (assumed it was the Atlantic because of the American ship, wich rarely sail in the Irish Sea)

    The guy in the lighthouse does have an Irish accent ; sounds very much West of Ireland and definitley not Australian or Canadian. "We" don't use the term mate? Speak for yourself, I use it all the time, so do loads of people I know. Or are you going to start telling me Donegal people don't speak with Irish accents, we actually speak with Canadian ones instead..?

  • Well if it's not an actual Irish accent then it must be a yank who can put one on without sounding like a leprechaun. And I doubt their existance (both leprechauns and Americans who have the ability to put on Irish accents!)

    We'll agree to disagree, so.

  • Man you're a dick XD

    IT'S AN IRISH ACCENT YOU FUCKING TWAT!!

  • I'm sure mammy did agree with you, but that doesn't mean it's a Canadian accent.

  • its a middle-class irish accent - what you would call a non-descript irish accent

    the kind that is used for advertisements on the radio and tv

    or you can also call it a Donnybrook accent - where the national broadcast station RTÉ is based

    think of - the 'Late Late Show' presenter Pat Kenny its identical to that - most RTÉ people speak like this.

  • question for rafferty444 if its an aussie acent why the fuck is the aussie in a light house on the irish sea coast awnser me that

  • i am sure i said American or canadian , the original was scandinavian but youtube users change anything they get their hands on and as such they have changed this,it first appeared on chris tarents english show about novalty adverts around the world, it was then adapted on youtube, it has never been on irish tv, if it was an irish accent it would have been on our tv.

  • its a middle-class irish accent - what you would call a non-descript irish accent

    the kind that is used for advertisements on the radio and tv

    or you can also call it a Donnybrook accent - where the national broadcast station RTÉ is based

    you are correct

  • Try and tell that feckin' eejit!

  • thing you've got to learn about utube is that it is mostly for ppl who are idiots who think they are smart or for smart ppl who have low self esteem

    so in the end if u are not one of these but a normal person - then there is absolutely no point in arguing further

    just realise u'v met an idiot, ignore & move on

    otherwise ur letting an idiot waste ur time and we all only got so much of that

    sláinte

  • Right enough, I suppose... slainte.

  • no they dont, it is Australian , im sitting with an Aussie now and he say Perth in Australia, geees try and get out more or clean your ears out. this was originally on Chris tarrent show 10 yrs ago and was re done for you tube. what a moron you are, there are no irish accents in this. and im close to Donnybrook and we have not heard this.

  • i said specifically - the national broadcaster - the RTÉ studios

    i didnt mean donnybrook village - obviously they will talk differently

    have you ever heard pat kenny speak or other presenters- they have to talk with a clear accent that doesnt really have any location in any 1 place in ireland - yet it is still an irish accent

    try listening to pat 'the plank' kenny

  • That is an irish accent.

  • im actually fed up with telling so many eeejits that it is not an irish accent, the only part of an irish accent is where a guy says "fare enough" ..at the end , all the rest is either Australian canadian or American . dont bother responding to this as clearly you are apart of the crowd who are uneducated on Irish accents.

  • Just what kind of a fucking idiot are you anyway? That is CLEARLY an Irish accent, you need to clean the wax out of your ears boy.

  • @Rafferty444 THAT IS AN IRISH ACCENT THE GUY IN THE LIGHTHOUSE THE OTHER GUYS ARE IRISH ACTORS PORTRAYING AMERICAN NAVY PEOPLE THIS IS AN IRISH COMMERICAL.

  • hahaha LOLol

    oh that was brilliant

  • ha ha ha ha oh my god i think i just pissed myself. fucking funny

  • HA!HA!HA! This is such an awesome video and, yes, a great joke. I serve as a soldier in the US Army and I would not want to do anything else in the world. But this video really shows how some of our officer's may be a bit more arrogant than they need to be. I have seen it in officers of other nations, but it seems to run rampant in ours. Cheers, mate! (or, as we like to say in America, "Gimmie yo'money, bitch!!)

  • this joke has been going around for years and years it started off canadian

  • Hahahahahahaha that was really good!!

  • lad in donegal as well

  • this is a light house mate?im irish and we dont say mate.only english and aussie say mate.this adverts retarded

  • a lot of irish are startin to say it now,there watchin too much english tv. Il never say it though. UP THE RA.

  • i think we say lad, if anything, rarely hear irish say mate!

  • I occationally say mate, not often though. Less now than I did before. It also depends on what part of the country your from. They tend to say "boi" in Cork city, but "lad" in Waterford.

  • ah we do when wer pointing out some ones stupidity

  • you are talkin the english language you prick

  • I am Irish and i have to disagree alot of Irish say mate or lad

    Depends on what part of the country your from. But its not as common here as in eng or aussie lad. But what the fuck it was a great advert lol u have to say that

  • we dont say it in the south or the west.the dubs might say mate and the north so i agree.i dont like the advert.i dont see whats funny about it.some monkey made alot of money for this retarded idea of an add.

  • jesus man lighten up its only a add for fuck sake!!

  • ive never heard anyone say mate around here in kerry its allright lad

  • Your man talking is from Dublin, and most of my friends say "mate" and i think english people say mate when they talk about thir friends when irish say mate to a person they don't really know and use lads for their friends

  • da dubs well thank god im not one!! i just say all right man if i dont know someone .depends were your from i guess

  • "well thank god i'm not one" I knew i'd get some fucking ejit come on and saying something stupid like like that.

  • Every person that posted here (sweepeing generalisation, but I reckon that's cool cause you are all at it!) are ill-informed idiots.

    Our boys get more money from the UN and now NATO than they do from our own government, their supposed employers! Our defence and police forces are in a shambles, and now we've ran out of money what are we going to do. Sure they're well trained and highly proffessional now, but What happens when their budget is cut!
