It could be replaced with any ethnicity or class of people and it would still be funny. It just happened to be Irish this time. It’s OK to laugh at yourself.
This joke has been made about every different ethnicity you can think of. It never fails. You tell this joke about Irish, everyone but the Irish laugh. You instead make a joke about Mexicans, everyone but the Mexicans laugh. You make the same joke about the Polish, and everyone laughs.
As an Irish American I find this offensive. If the word Irish was replaced with African American no one would be laughing….

Lighten up.
Yeah true we’ve been conditioned that anything with African American is never funny. But everything else is still funny.
(shrug) I wouldnt be offended by this if i was irish
Im Irish and i am laughing!
You can be offended if you want to, but isn’t it better to just see the joke for what it is and laugh?
this is a site devoted mostly to humor, right? or am I missing something? I agree with Crispy.
Besides, Edgeburner’s NEW phrase would be “African American American” Now THAT’S funny!
Good for you Janet, and you’re right in the middle of green for Irish…Ireland.
Beautiful.
