The hero this country needs, but not the one it deserves

  1. The consistency in the hatred of Rory in the comments here is a sight to behold.

    All of r/ireland agreeing on something… a chorus of angels is descending from on high…

  2. I rang a painter a few months ago and he was available a week later. On that basis I’m going to disregard the rest.

    He should stick to his shite GAA banter videos

  3. I find it’s all women who post “you okay hun” and “Sigh in A&E again” that like his stuff on Facebook

  4. His comedy is pure muck. I mean fair played to him for putting himself out there but I simply don’t find him funny. Its actually hard to watch his videos. Cant understand how he built a following. in saying that, Mrs browns boys is absolute tripe and that has an audience so different strokes for different folks I suppose!

  6. Jaysus what’s happening with Ireland? When I moved out in 2019 things were not that good, but it was still ok. Now seems like everything is falling apart.

  7. Holy shit, I’ve no idea who this cunt is but the fact that he’s entirely correct and there’s a fucking daft amount of people ignoring the fact that he’s 100% correct in the comments explains entirely why this shithole of a country is the way it is.
    Fucking Irish cunts living in some fantasy in their heads. No idea why the world seems to think we’re great, we’re the biggest fucking gobshites on the planet.

  8. I don’t like Rory’s comedy one bit so I don’t watch it one bit, it’s really not that hard.

    I don’t get why people are getting all bent out of shape here, comedy is subjective, if nobody found the man entertaining then nobody would watch him.

    Some of ye need to relax.

  9. Hes not my cup of tea, his stuff is obviously more geared towards the country folk. But I don’t know why it generates so much hate though, it all seems harmless enough. Seems like pure Irish begrudgery really.

    In saying that, I tried listening to the 2 Johnnies podcast recently and fuck me that was a tough listen. Ended up turning it off after 10 minutes.

  10. When I first looked at this post the only thing I could think of is how much of a civil war it must be in the comments because it was posted by Rory’s Stories… wasn’t wrong.

    Seriously, I don’t find him funny either (jokes are shite honestly), but can ye not yano, talk about the topic and not the poster ffs.

    Edit: yea OP being a troll and licking Rory’s hole doesn’t help matters either I suppose..

  11. The housing crisis, inflation and fuel cost aren’t unique problems to Ireland, but there are countries with some good solutions.

    Norway has the most EVs, copy them. South Korea has excellent transit systems, and Austria has a good housing system. Look at France for how to have strong unions and fight back against corporatism.

  12. The house prices is a legit complaint.

    But complaining about the price of unnecessary purchases in the same post is daft, don’t like the prices, don’t buy them.

    Supplying your own paint for painters is normal.

    Someone needs to introduce him to ApplePay, GooglePay, FitBit pay etc.

  13. -went to grab a couple of things in the shop to keep me going for a day or two until they did the big shop and it came to over 50 quid

    What the feck was he buying? When I find myself in that situation I’m spending no more than a tenner? And I’m a smoker too so let’s say I buy tobacco with that shopping, that’s still only around 30 quid. I think he’s exaggerating a bit.

  14. He’s well off, so his experience is not that relatable. Fair enough if you have money, but don’t conflate that with the common man. It’s clear by those prices that he’s going to upmarket shops and not shopping around.

    Even with inflation, €8 is a ripoff for 2 jambons and a Lucozade. In my local Spar in inner city Dublin I can get a 6 piece breakfast roll (which comes with a free can of coke) and a Lucozade for €7. Even jumbo jambons aren’t going to be more than €1 in most places and Lucozade won’t be more than €3. In a lot of places you can get it for €2.

    As for his shopping for a day or two being over €50, this can only be the case if he’s buying a lot in a convenience store or in an expensive supermarket. M full week’s shop, with a few sweets (due to impulsive buying) cost me €45 in Lidl.

  15. I don’t think his comedy is that great. BUT! I notice that he *very* consistently uses his platform to talk about mental health. From what I can tell he seems like a really decent bloke who wants to use what platform he has to do some good in the world. If not all his jokes are incredible zingers, I’m fine with that.

  16. Man complains about inflation.

    How is this different to the dozen other posts a day moaning about the price of things? We know it’s expensive 🤦‍♀️

  17. Course he was hungover. Is there anything this man writes or says that doesn’t involve drink?
