Classy
The biggest fail of all is bagpipes are Scotish, not Irish!!! Stupid frackin Americans
You are the sixth person to say that. And as Great Scott pointed out waaaaay down the page, you are wrong.
You Americans are not only wrong. You’re also stinking arrogant, EXACTLY like the French. But on top of that also annoying and uncultivated. Now get off the Internet, and back to the trailer park with you!
How could one go back somewhere they’ve never been in the first place?
Simple, you tinker with the space-time continuum! We’re all experts at that here, aren’t we?
*hugs Avis* hi friend
HI!!!! *SQUEEEZE!!!!*
How are things?
I am very facking annoyed at failblog and their comment moderation. Things were so much simpler back in the days before this plagued our lives. Anyway here is what my comment said, suitably censored (I hope):
Things are especially grand on this day of Patrick, the king of our island…
I’m doing a course in becoming a professional red-pen-wielder! So I’m sure you can i m a g i n e how much I’m enjoying that. How are things with you?
Want a drink? I stocked up for today. Martini with a dash of Guinness?
Are you on Facebook? If so come find me!!
Not drinking yet today. New meds make me queasy, so I try to limit the drinksies.
It was in fact the “i” word that got you, there are others now too.
Congrats and good luck with the classes! I think just reading the comments here should prove to you that you’ll pretty much always be able to find a job!!
Are all the old failblog crew on facebook?! How can I find you? I don’t remember your real name…
No drink? At least have a virtual one with me! *sláinte*
You’re right, failblog comments serve as a comforting reminder that I shall never be out of a job
Most of us are on Facebook aka FB2. If you can find Dragonwriter, I’m in her friends list, and I’m wearing pink glasses. I do not use my real name there either!
And sure! I’ll have a virtual drink with you!! *cheers! (I cannot get that little accent over the a for some reason)*
Don’t go getting cyber-tipsy now! I don’t want to be responsible for a cyber-stomach-pumping! I found dragonwriter so when she accepts I’ll find you in her friends
yay!
Yay!!! That’s the easiest way to keep updated on all of us failpeeps. And it cuts down on the oversharing on this site.
Of course I just remembered that DW is off at a conference that should last about a week. Try looking up Avis LittleBird.
gotcha!
yeah it’s always a bit dodgy oversharing personal info on failblog, so many creeps here. haha!
There is a chance Dragon may not get to your friend request today. My friend request won’t be far behind!
*cheeky squeeze*
AA, you want I should tell her who you are? Because Loz already found me!
Don’t you bring vegetables into this! They’ve done nothing wrong!
Oh come on and relax a bit, at least they have not a single castle
Says a Brit! LOOOL!!!
Count: SIX
*pushes stupid troll into vat of boiling BaconLube*
WTF?! Patty?
Bagpipes are European i.e. UK, Ireland, Scotland, Austria, Poland…the list goes on.
A quick trip to Wikipedia would tell you that.
Saying that bagpipes are Scottish (you can’t spell either) is just silly, just like you.
Love you lots, even if your dim,
America
Bagpipes are primarily Scottish, but the Irish version is the Uileann pipes – you pump the bag with the elbows rather than blow into it.
I’d also like to note that’s it’s Paddy, not Patty. No affiliation with burgers.
Bagpipes came from Iran. They’re not Scottish. Just like haggis and kilts. Everything good about Scotland isn’t Scottish. Except Irn Bru.
Another fact, why making such a fuzz about traditions and religions is fail.^^
And in addition, only Northern Ireland is in the UK, not the rest of it.
Plus, in the video at the beginning, the pipers are clearly wearing traditional Scottish dress. So essentially, the music with the video is wrong.
That is all.
first
fiiiirst!
damn it -.-
First!
I can only assume it is a video about drinking or fighting.
Drunken fails set to bagpipes, with a few St. Patrick’s day news clips thrown in for good measure.
I loved it! Thanks, PTB!
*drunkenly tips over*
I have had it with these mother*cking snakes on this motherf#cking island!
What did those poor snakes do to you?
Not me personally, I was quoting St. Patrick.
So, after he chased away the snakes, that’s when he invented green beer?
Prezactly!
But more importantly, it’s Billy Corgan’s birthday today. Oh yeah, and it happens to be mine too.
Am I mistaken in thinking that bagpipes are Scottish?
tinyurl.com/yg7wmbz
Yes, yes you are… Bagpipes come from many areas of Europe. All a bagpipe is an reed in a pipe attached to a bag of air. However, Great Highland Bagpipes are the most common and are from Scotland.
Is this better or worse than the previous fail?
*shakes fist at firewall*
A compilation of drunkards falling on their a$ses/faces mostly and some people just making total idiots of themselves.
I like it better. Has some awesome classic idiots in it.
It seems to be attracting some classic idiots too.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
To the music of bagpipes.
I can support that.
The trolls coming out of the woodwork, not so much.
Mmmmmkay.
the biggest fail of this, is that bagpipes are scottish. stupid americans.
*takes off earrings*
*takes off high heel shoes*
*rolls up sleeves*
Are you channeling Mr. Cuddles?!?
No. LOL
Why do you say that?
He used to do JUST that when someone insulted him or someone he considered to be a friend!
He took off his earrings and high heel shoes?
On occasion. Usually he said something like “Oh, no you Din’t!! Someone hold my sh!t.”
ROFL!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagpipes#History
Learn your own history. Stupid European.
Well look, baseball probably wasn’t invented in America, but it is very much associated with American culture. It’s the same with Bagpipes – they may not have been invented by the Scots, but they are as much an emblem of Scottishness as the shamrock is of Irishness. So in this case, dear America, please listen to people who actually live in Ireland when we assure you that the bagpipes are NOT ‘Irish’.
I actually thought the use of bagpipes and a scottish marching band at the start of the video was a piece of self-depreciating ironic fail on the part of fail blog. Instead, it seems it was unenlightened fail… what a pity.
Cultural awareness fail!
“the biggest fail of this, is that bagpipes are scottish. stupid americans.”
FAIL.
St. Patrick’s Day on a Wednesday, I love it. Who plans to become too intoxicated to work tomorrow?
Not me. I ♥ my liver.
Organs are a person’s best friend.
Not me. I ♥ my continued obedience of local laws.
“Bobbing for teabags – I’d bet you do that…” LOL
Just so you know, No-one from Ireland ever calls it St. Patty’s Day, it’s called PaDDy’s Day! The other thing is bagpipes are Scottish not Irish!
Who cares? Go away please.
*assists by pulling out anti-troll arsenal*
I am with you on this. No one here writes ‘st patty’. Nor do we say ‘top o the mornin’. Nor are we all alcoholics.
ok, the last one was a lie.
People got confused because of Krabby Patty.
A fail within a fail – the bagpipes are Scottish. This video was looking for the Uileann Pipes to provide the music.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes
*Uilleann Pipes.
Damn brother, what’s up with yo’ grille
*lurks in Leprecaun Costume*
*chases people that say “Irish Jig”*
I made my own sport.
4 leaf clovers are just lucky. They are not the symbol of St Paddy, 3 leaf clovers are.
I know Im being picky but I think thats important.
You mean “shamrocks”. They’re not clovers.
Sorry my fail on that one.
Dont trust wikipedia it lies!!
Let’s keep count of the # of people who will tell us that bagpipes are Scottish not Irish.
I have four so far.
*pushes all four in a vat of boiling BaconLube to the sound of bagpipes*
*gets a bunch of pillows for all the headdesks that will occur*
Madra is right. As a Scot, I can tell you that the accompanying soundtrack is most definitely Scottish. Also, who the hell calls it St Patty’s Day? Fail.
If the name is “Patrick,” why would the shortened version be spelled with Ds instead of Ts? It would make sense if you’re using the alternate spelling, Padraig — but that’s not what we use in the U.S.
No, it’s not. But it is what we use in Ireland though I’m not too bothered myself.
I think it’s that Patty is usually considered female.
And while those are not Uilleann pipes and, yes, that is a Scottish tune – the thought was there and all in fun.
Because that’s just the way it is, same as the shortened form of Barry being “Baz”. Or John / James both becoming “Jim”.
The irish have universally been Paddies as long as I can remember. Patty is a girls name, like Peppermint Patty (short for Patricia).
However the actual form of the boy’s name, in Eirann, is often spelt Padraig (and depending on dialect, could sound like anything from Patrick to Porrig). Shorten that = Paddy.
(And it’s quite likely that it’s {insert irish word for Saint} Padraig in the republic, too)
Can we just simplify it for everyone, make the snake-driver an honourary Michael, then they can all be Micks instead?
Naomh = saint
John should not become Jim. John should become Jack.
I’m afraid I have to disagree.
That is okay. But how does John become Jim?
Absolutely hilarious video! love footage of the guy falling face first into the wall, and the other guy trying to buy beer, when he can’t even stand up straight, and falls down….
Who cares what you use in the US? It’s an Irish day and Padraig is an Irish name. So quit moaning, drop the ‘patty’ and get in line.
It’s Paddy’s, end of.
Count: 5
*pushes Solmorado in vat of boiling BaconLube*
It’s six now, waaaaaay up there ^.
Took care of it too.
Could you also get the barnacle that attached to me too!??
*seeks pesty barnacle*
*pushes said barnacle into vat of boiling BaconLube*
Done!
Thank you kindly!!
its not unusual for the yanks to yet again spell things wrong, like their constant laziness for spelling words without a U in them,
Fcking Cnts
First proof of bagpipes in Europe may be found at Aristophanes (greek author of comedy pieces, 445 – 385 B.C.), Dio Chrysostomus (also greek, ca. 100 A.D.), Marcus Valerius Martialis (roman poet, 40 – 100 A.D.) and Gaius Suetonius Tronquillus (roman author, 70 – 130 A.D.). The latter mentioned the bagpiping Nero (probably!) in his biographies about roman emperors (“De vita caesarum”). Dio Chrysostomus wrote about a contemporary sovereign, possibly Nero as well, who could play a pipe (“aulein”) with his mouth as well as with his “arm pit”. Chrysostomus and Martialis both mention the askaules, which literaly means “bagpiper”.
*squeeze*
Thank you!!!!
So what you’re saying, Scottie, is that we should be having a toga party? I am SO there.
*fashions Hello Kitty bedsheets into fetching toga, with a pillowcase mask*
As I understand, the general consensus is that bagpipes (or similar) first appeared in China.
Although I may be wrong. I think I read it… somewhere.
Ixnay on the Inachay, Jon! Do you want to have a toga party or don’t you?
To-ga! To-ga! To-ga!
*fashions several red shirts into an acceptable toga*
Woohoo! A toga party!
Where was this on the fifteenth?
Back then, they looked something like this…
*Ahem* Clickie^
*raises drink*
I toast that I will be having a college-student day tomorrow.
Cheers
*clanks glass and drinks*
Crap lol.I’m Irish, in Ireland.It’s nice to know FailBlog respects me
Why are you playing Scottish music on an Irish video?! O_o
COUNT: 9
*pushes That guy… into vat of boiling BaconLube*
Eugh, culture fail. Ireland’s never been known for its bagpipes, and it’s st Paddys day, not st Pattys day.
COUNT: 8
*pushes steph into vat of boiling BaconLube*
the guy at 1:35 looks like me . . .
wow time telling fail thats the length of the video there is no one at 1:35. lets try this again, the guy at 1:13
At first I was all like
… 
… :-/ …
Then that guy helping measure out the sobriety test line fell on his head…
and i was all like
8-D 
Urgh, an american made this didn’t they. Only they would put scottish bagpipes behind a st patrick’s day video.
Uh, Leila? I think this makes 10. Maybe more.
This is getting to be quite amusing! You have to admit though, merkins ARE silly creatures
I am most certainly NOT a pubic wig!!!!!
Maybe not… but you’re almost as silly as one!
I would take offense to that, if it weren’t true!
COUNT: 10
*pushes Alice into vat of boiling BaconLube*
…and don’t you EVER insult Americans.
*places order for more bacon*
Link to wikipedia….feel smart…its the american way!
if you had any idea you’d know bagpipes are scottish through and through, just because they made an appearance in ireland doesnt give this incredible fail of a video any justification
COUNT: 11
*pushes failboat into vat of boiling BaconLube*
Count as much as you like – the music and video at the beginning are Scottish players in traditional Scottish dress playing Scottish bagpipes. As many other Irish people have commented, it should be the Uilleann pipes.
mmmmmmm….Green Jello and a whollotta fail……
-w-
At 0:44… Plumber’s crack win… drywall integrity fail.
its St Paddy not St Patty. at least thats what everybody in Ireland and Britain say and they would know
its St paddy not St patty. At least thats what everybody in Ireland and the rest of the U.K says
Why are they playing Irish pipebags in a Scottish Holiday video? UGH!!
(Sorry, I just wanted access to the BaconLube hot tub)
As a Scottish gent with Irish relations.. (many many many Irish relations called Patrick) ….. bagpipes are Scottish and you don’t get them in Ireland, Patrick is shortened to Paddy not Patty (which is a girls name)
As for the drunkenness…. You got the Irish there.. Bloody drunken bums…
SMAK
It’s St. Patrick’s Day?! I picked a hell of a week to quit drinking…
I picked a hell of a day to stop sniffing glue…
The only main fail here is that it’s being referred to as St Patty’s day. which it isn’t because it’s PADDY’S you idiots.
this is what happens when yanks try to hijack our country’s day.
it’s paddy’s. not patty’s. a patty is a burger constituent.
for f**k’s sake.
Drunk Irish. Give them a pint and they’ll steal your wallet.
the best part was the dude who was too drunk to buy more beer. lol
Scottish != Irish
Fail – kilts??? bagpipes?? all scottish not irish…
They should put all these ‘pattys day’ titles on the engrish site as a fail in translation. Stupid americans.
While bagpipes have a broad history spread throughout Europe, the pipes in the video are Highland pipes (Scottish). Not only that, but the band that marches through the streets are a Scottish Pipe band.
Those are Scottish kilts and Highland pipes, so have nothing to do with St. Paddy (who the fudge is St. Patty? Patron Saint of Burgers?).
Lastly, the man calling in the band at the start of the video has a Scottish accent.
This whole thing would have been much better shown on 30th November with references to haggis and whisky.
It’s PADDY’S day…Not Patty’s day. I’m Irish. I know this.
Hahah, this is funny. But it’s Paddy’s day…Not Patty’s day! I’m Irish by the way so I’m telling you it’s true lads.
Biggest fail of all. Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day if you have absolutely zero Irish heritage. Kinda of like celebrating Cinco de Mayo if you aren’t Mexican.
A compilation showing drunk people, because the Irish are all drunks?
What racist drivel. This is shameful.
…No.
A compilation showing drunk people on St. Patrick’s Day because it was St. Patrick’s Day.
This pipe tune is actually a well-known Irish patriotic song, Minstrel Boy to the War has Gone. It’s very popular with traditional Irish regimental bands and police bands.
I’m with frank – this is insulting, racist drivel.
Lost – one Irish failblog fan.
Same here, am just finishing reading the comments and then that’s me done here
Yeh, because the Irish are drunks doing stupid things to Scottish music? Another FAIL for the Americans.
As a long time fan of failblog, this is my first comment. I’m irish (as in actually irish. In ireland), and I find that clip really offensive and racist. Worst of all, it’s not very funny. As a country, we’re well able to make fun of ourselves, and generally don’t mind others doing it if there’s a bit of good humour and intelligence to it. None of that here. Bad call failblog.
For the love of God….
http://paddynotpatty.com/
You last few “Irish” that are calling this post racist are stupid and hateful people. First of all, the celebrations are mostly of Americans celebrating and getting wasted. How is this offensive to the Irish, as I happen to be as well? Yes it’s a stereotype that the Irish are all drunkards. But it’s also a stereotype that the Irish are also genial and have a great sense of humor, which you seem to have missed. Every Irishman/woman/person I know would laugh and raise a glass to ANYONE who wanted to drink in honor of St. Paddy’s Day.
LOL someone should submit this video for a fail as bagpipes are scottish not irish…….FAIL
BWAHAHAHA! Americans not knowing the difference between Scottish and Irish FAIL!
I am very proud to say that the dancing traffic man is the traffic man I watch every morning.
St. Patty??? Its St. PADDY you yank fools. Paddy is short for Patrick, there’s no such name as Patty. Once again you have created a non existant word and made it part of your vocabulary. freakin weirdos.
this is so offensive and pathetic. all irish people are drunk, and here’s some Scottish people marching along because who cares about the difference. this is racist.
I’m not as think as you drunk I am, ossifer.
xD thats our local weatherman dancing in the vid! LMAO
a video full of fails
y r they all falling ovr?????????????/////////??????????????????/?
