  1. The exploding mannequin, the shifty side eye the young girls gives, the street seller not given a shite and waving them around. The whole piece is just 🤌

  2. Fook, great to see the old packets of black cats. Some buzz buying them and other fireworks off henry street back in the 90s

  3. So many questions, like where did someone in RTE get a Toronto BlueJays hat in ’95.

    Why would the mannequin child light a second banger if they just lost their right hand

  4. That was some good change-handling acting. The extra few moves with the coins after the change was handed back really sold it that this was a typical cash transaction on the streets of Dublin.

  5. “I’m a fucking idiot, why is my child a fucking idiot?!” Suppose the shit apple didn’t get trun far from the ole shit tree eh Randy

  6. Serious flashback/nostalgia from seeing the outside of the ilac like that, and champion sports.

    Was impossible to go more than 10 foot along that street without some ‘howya’ approaching you all shady and asking if you were looking for ‘bangers’.

  7. We all heard the story about the local lads who got great kicks about putting bangers up dogs/cats arses

  8. I wonder how much the mannequin costed. A raw chicken drumstick would have been a lot less, and far more of a deterrent if you saw a banger rip through the skin and flesh.

  9. She’s come a long way from the seedy underbelly of Dublin’s dodgy banger scene, has Theresa…

    Don’t use unnecessary bangers.
    Don’t take risks on treacherous fireworks.
    People have been spotted with sparklers.

  10. There’s a youtuber called Luke Damant who had half his hand blown off by one of these, blood everywhere, exposed bone etc.

    Needed fingers amputated afterwards too.

    He also vlogged the entire thing and there’s a graphic video of it on his channel and you can see him living with the consequences of that in every video he makes.

    If you think you’re cool lighting these things up go and see for yourself what happens if you hold it for 1 second too long.
