   Does it make the sign of the cross when it takes off? #1950s
2. Andre September 9, 2015 at 8:44 am

   I thought it was an italian thing
3. David September 9, 2015 at 8:50 am

   I thought it was mostly Russians and ex USSR who clap when landing.
4. Damien September 9, 2015 at 8:51 am

   I thought it was just Spanish and Polish
5. Cian September 9, 2015 at 9:00 am

   I thought that was just Ryanair passengers
   1. meadowlark September 9, 2015 at 9:24 am

      And sure who would blame them?

         I’m not even religious and I pray all the way down

            A sound policy – always best to hedge your bets.
            1. Dόn Pídgéόní September 9, 2015 at 10:00 am

               Can’t be to careful. It’s my general deathbed policy really.

            and up
   2. Neilo September 9, 2015 at 9:43 am

      Yeah, it’s basically only ScobeAir passengers that clap when the plane lands, roysh?
      1. meadowlark September 9, 2015 at 9:51 am

         Well they don’t do a first class and if you think I’m going sit down and mingle with them…

   its Ryanair passengers .. so it should read “so knacked that it claps when it lands. . . and gets an airport police escort off the plane while wearing a sombrero and a bottle of jaegarmeister”
7. mrmurphster September 9, 2015 at 9:12 am

   Eejits clapping a pilot who’s simply doing his job.. landing the bloody plane..Maybe us Irish should start clapping enthusiastically at take-off too
   1. Panty Christ September 9, 2015 at 9:21 am

      I always thank the bus man when I get off
      1. Norbet Cooper September 9, 2015 at 10:27 am

         That’s because you possess nice manners Panty.
      2. Spoiler Alert September 9, 2015 at 11:16 am

         I applaud the driver at every stop, which is the equivalent of the plane landing thing
   2. George September 9, 2015 at 9:50 am

      ‘Police’ …. Indeed. Ask any Garda and they’ll laugh.
8. well September 9, 2015 at 9:16 am

   I thought clapping was an American thing?

   Clapping when the plan lands.
   Clapping at the cinema when some lunatic is shooting at you.
   1. Dόn Pídgéόní September 9, 2015 at 9:43 am

      I laughed

   The one in Rathmines is really condescending, and was definitely written by an American copywriter – “So Irish it knows Siobhan is not pronounced Cyo-bon”
   1. fluffybiscuits September 9, 2015 at 9:21 am

      Thats the south soide of the south soide like, they are all condescending totally loike
      1. Birneybau2 September 9, 2015 at 9:45 am

         No, it’s not.
      2. Starina September 9, 2015 at 9:56 am

         eh, not really.
         1. fluffybiscuits September 9, 2015 at 9:58 am

            1. Birneybau2 September 9, 2015 at 10:38 am

               In Rathmines?
            2. Starina September 9, 2015 at 10:52 am

               oh i see, irony. you probably live in Cabinteely or something.
            3. fluffybiscuits September 9, 2015 at 11:29 am

               Loike soooo wrong,
   2. Parochial Central September 9, 2015 at 11:18 am

      ““So Irish it knows Siobhan is not pronounced Cyo-bon””

      You’re kidding, right? Where is this in Rathmines. I need to picture this for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
10. Eliot Rosewater September 9, 2015 at 9:31 am

    Do all countries do this thing? Take behaviour that is not unique to us and assume nobody else does it? It’s like the whole ‘in Ireland, we thank the bus driver’. Other countries do that too, it’s just we never got the hang of the middle door conundrum.
    1. mauriac September 9, 2015 at 9:50 am

       they couldn’t fit,” so Irish it appropriates common behavioural traits as uniquely Irish in a desperate attempt to differentiate itself from the dreaded Brits” on a billboard.
11. rotide September 9, 2015 at 9:31 am

    This is a blatant rip off of the Aldi “It’s as irish as not wanting to make a fuss”
    1. spud1 September 9, 2015 at 9:47 am

       yep.
       Thinking the same.
       A little too fresh in the mind to roll this one out…
    2. meadowlark September 9, 2015 at 9:55 am

       Must be said though, that seems to be a real Irish thing. As in, ANYTHING other than make a fuss.
       1. well September 9, 2015 at 10:37 am

          Yup work in a company with many non Irish people.
          They can’t understand our reluctance to complain when we receive blatantly poo goods/services.
12. Ms Piggy September 9, 2015 at 9:31 am

    I’m sure I saw this used for a completely different ad campaign about a year ago…maybe for a brand of bottled water, not sure? Isn’t there any copyright protection for advertising slogans, even really annoying ones?
13. Bingo September 9, 2015 at 9:34 am

    Had one of these ‘special’ McDs burgers recently.
    Not this one but some other beefed up Big Mac.
    Utter sh*te.
    McDs is for the drunk or hungover.
14. dhaughton99 September 9, 2015 at 9:35 am

    Anyone taste the burger?
    1. Neilo September 9, 2015 at 9:43 am

       Phrasing!
15. Bobby September 9, 2015 at 9:42 am

    I can’t usually get ’em, as my girlfriend’s a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian too.
    1. George September 9, 2015 at 9:52 am

       Well done to your girlfriend… If slaughterhouses had glass walls….. Etc
    2. Frilly Keane September 9, 2015 at 12:25 pm

       Wes eile
    3. scottser September 9, 2015 at 1:31 pm

       surely then, it’s the big kahuna burger you should be concerned about..
       1. Bobby September 9, 2015 at 1:51 pm

          Check out the big brain on Scottser
16. mauriac September 9, 2015 at 9:46 am

    So Irish, its 45% fat.
    1. doncolleone September 9, 2015 at 11:42 am

       bravo/a
17. Fiddlestix September 9, 2015 at 9:59 am

    So Irish, it doesn’t make a big deal out of anything.

    If Supermac’s PR were any good right now they’d be capitalising on this woeful idea.
18. Frilly Keane September 9, 2015 at 12:27 pm

    So Irish your Grandmother would eat it
