Hard to believe such a simple thing endured in societies mind for so many years. But also maybe just reminds of a less devisive and better time…. Apart from the whole recession thing…. that was shite

I heard that guy was the founder of Dublin city. He was the guy who scared away all the dragons that were here before then. Only to die in that horrible slipping accident. RIP
Gonna get seriously downvoted for this, but I never saw the humour in this clip.
Thousands upon thousands of people laughing at what could have resulted in a serious head injury.
Proud to share my birthday with this iconic moment in Irish history and will never forget being a kid watching it on the news and cracking up completely 😌😌
It’s time An Post immortalized him as a stamp.
It was so funny that they just didn’t mention that part of the clip, like the news became You’ve Been Framed for a couple of seconds!
The very epitome of “go tobann…”
I remember wincing when I saw that. The poor lad must have gotten some clatter. Something similar happened to me years ago, but I hit the back of my head and got a concussion for my troubles.
Did he get found in the end at all?
Give this man the statue he deserves!
Whoa, feels like so much longer ago tbh!
And we never found who he was.
He’s a hero up there with Collins.
Didn’t someone put a plaque there to commemorate it.
16 years ago today
I wonder is the person even aware of this clip?
Never forget
for the love of fudge can someone please drop a link to a copy of this video 😆
EDIT: found it lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3vVDUuC0yw
EDIT 2: it was actually 16 years ago
I always find it weird that nobody ever managed to find out who this was.
Never forget, there was a fever snakey *$&# of a camera man who waited there for the shot.
Can share the image without the video : https://youtu.be/oT9z87GNL_g
15 years… and I’m still lauhing like crazy when I see this guy. Legend.
