Listen up every one im a traveller and i found this funny thats the meaning of stand up comedy you have to not care what you say once it has a punch line and its pointless watching comedy if your easily offended
No harm intended to anyone by this fella. It is comedy and every one should lighten up. Real life is so so very horrible at times, and laughter is the best medicine for all. That is fact not fiction.
That's not true I've seen many people on Facebook take real offence at famine jokes or Bobby Sands joke. I'm not saying those jokes are funny just saying that lots of Irish people find them very offensive
@Billy McCarthy ... You're right. The only people that should be allowed to make jokes about genocide, are those that have suffered loss from it. For example, i am allowed to make jokes about the holocaust, because my Grandad died in a concentration camp in 1944. He fell out of a guard tower.
I saw this gig in Christmas 2018 onTV. Never thought of Tommy but this was so funny. The rest of the joke was belly laugh. Pity the whole gig wasn't on RUclips
Did you hear about the traveller wedding? The groom runs to his father and says, "Dad, my bride to be has just confessed to me she's still a virgin. What shall I do?" The father says, "Don't touch her, son. If she's not good enough for her own family, she's not good enough for ours."
Nan It might surprise your ignorant brain, but Travelling and Gypsy folk have better morals than many another people when it comes to monogamous relationships between a husband and a wife, take your ignorance and arrogance elsewhere !
The jokes on you and your soiled soul. A traveler is one of the last people to commit sexual sin. Adultery is very rare among them, and homosexuality also almost unheard of. By and large they are morally healthier than many other communities.
Here in America we can't figure out what the difference is between Traveller Irish and non Traveller Irish. Sort of like what I imagine a person in China would think about blacks and whites in the U.S.- "you're all just Americans to us"!
1:42 is exactly how they sound to me. I find they're not big fans of foreigners. I say this based on my interactions with traveller children at playgrounds. There wasn't much respect coming my way.
If u mean by not fans of foriegners they dont socialise with non travellers very often ... why would they ? As you no doubt have read on these posts they are subjected to vile abuse and bigotry by all these keyboard warriors . Your comment is akin to saying these black people dont seem to want to intergrate with the KKK .
I can’t believe how brave travellers are when 3 of them that where camped on the local football field/ kids play area with multiple other travellers and decided to tear up the field in a van and when my 73 year old farther asked them to stop they threatened him and told him to mind his own business. Well it was his business he and many other people pay taxes for parks and other nice places for them to camp and crap up the place. Before this I didn’t mind travellers but now I see them for what they are. Three men against one 73 year old wow you are really brave o and it cost the tax payer 45k to clean up after you all and the council workers had to clean up human crap from the tree line because you won’t use a toilet.
So.... you used to like travellers, but now you don't like travellers (any of them, and there are millions) because of three of them. Surely you must hate everyone? You can't have gone through life without meeting 3 white cunts? We are ruled by hundreds of them? I've easily met three black guys who were cunts. And three brown people...
Sun Wukong it sounds like you haven’t met any travelers. I’m sure there do exist some travelers that go to college, but every traveler I’ve ever known has been kinda dumb, dropped out of school, no job, stole something from me, extremely rude and very uncaring about the well-being of others. Every single one. I have met intelligent respectable black/white/brown people but not a single traveler. I went to primary school with travelers. The only traveler that wasn’t in the special class was someone I tried to be friends with. I found her funny and she was below average in school but not as bad as an average traveler. Anyways, long story short, she kept stealing from me. Even the most respectable traveler I knew stole from me and lied about it when questioned by a teacher with proof. I do judge people by their personality and if there was a traveler who made it to uni I’d 100% like to be friends with them. However, I’d never respect anyone who was that rude or that uneducated no matter what race they are.
Sun Wukong if you read what I put it says I didn’t mind them not that I liked them. The thing is if I stole a caravan I would get fined and most probably prison but if a traveler stole one then there’s nothing the police can do because they are living in it and they can’t remove them. Plus stealing pet dogs so they can get some quick cash because they’ve entered it into a dog fight. I’m sorry but I’m tarring them all with the same brush. And while I’m on the subject two of them in a tipper truck cut me up in traffic yesterday and all I got from them is a fuck off so yes I hate them all with a passion. They are a waste of heart and lungs.

'Travellers' are Irish people who once travelled around Ireland. Recent DNA studies report they are no different to the 'settled population' of Irish people and they are NOT related to Romanian gypsy's etc. It was just once a way of life for Irish people who preferred to travel around Ireland looking for work etc. However they soon became a clan of people with their own quirks and in which the settled population took a dislike too, because of their apparent lose morals in regards to stealing and drunk-ness and parking up on private land etc. All the same what the settled population often forgot and still forget is that amongst them they've their own fair share of robbers and drunks by a country mile in comparison !!!! Irish 'travellers' are wholly Irish and should be embraced as such.
@@martinmcd9162 It's bullshit? Mm! Recent DNA studies proved that Irish travellers are NOT immigrants to Ireland they are related to the settled native ingenious people and have been around 10,000 years. I assume your name is McDonough? or thereabouts? This is a variation of Donaghy, Donaghey, O'Donuhue earliest recordings have been in the 3rd century which makes 'travellers' being present in Ireland for at least 2 thousand years. I suggest that you check it up Martin. If the travellers are related to the Roma gypsy's then why is it that they all have IRISH/GAELIC forenames and surnames. They would have held onto their cultural Roma names as all emigrant disporia will and have done.
@@fairplay914 they also make up 0.6% of Ireland's population yet account for 15% of the prison population. Their way of life is circumventing the laws of the land.
@@fairplay914 you big eejit Travelers are not Roma. We're not related in any way. Your descendant of white people. I am not. We have nothing in common. You are not Roma. You're an Irish traveler which is completely f****** different. An Irish traveler can go out and pass like any other freaking white person in Ireland where is a true Roma who is not white cannot even half Roma's cannot pass necessarily all the time.
Fair play to you Tommy for saying sorry. All travellers watching this will forgive you. Travellers have a sense of humour like everyone. But we just don't like racism and prejudice. I dont tell people I'm a traveller straightaway when I meet them. This is out of a fear of discrimination. If there were more people (especially in Ireland) who were willing to at least hear travellers out and give them a chance, we would all feel better. There are good travellers out there. I do recognise that there are groups of travellers who commit crime for a living though. These travellers give the rest of us a bad name. All I would ask is that people recognise that there is a majority of good travellers out there. Those who commit crime for a living should be put where they belong-prison. They should not be put with the rest of us.
Edward Lawrence exactly we can recognize not all settled Irish are racist or hate us why can’t they realize we’re not all criminals. If there is definitely one thing they’re right about is the homophobia I only really know 2 or 3 travelers who aren’t homophobic.
It's because to the settled population the Travellers that they most often come into contact with are the ones who are robbing and thieving and who see scamming old people out of their savings as a way of life. I know some lovely Travellers who live on sites but they go out and work hard and don't let people know they're Travellers for the reasons you've just stated so all people see is the bad. I once tried to challenge my prejudice and bought a car from a traveller run 2nd hand car place. The car was broken within a week no refund available. I respect you for the comments you've made it's time the good decent travellers stood up and showed people not all are bad.
@Anthony Mitchell I'm not entirely sure it is a race. Romany Gypsy is but as far as I'm aware Irish Traveller is just living in a caravan off grid. Although telling people they're racist when they catch you on the rob is a great way of distracting people.
@@Bran_Redmaw Roma is race and travelers are White people that choose to live how they do. My ancestors did not, if they did not keep moving they were killed because they looked different. However Travelers they could go out there and not tell people that they are and nobody would freaking know because they're white. They look like any other Irishmen.
Nobody can be a f****** racist against a traveler you're white. They can be prejudiced against you for not having a lot of money they can do that with any poor person. But you're not a freaking race. My people the Roma people are a fucken race. Your ancestors start being normatec because they wanted to. My ancestors had no choice. If they stayed in one place too long they were killed. We're constantly being denied work in other countries and housing. Where is you not tell anybody that you're descended of an Irish traveler and nobody would freaking no because you don't have to worry about it.
Look up his cameo in a Father Ted episode. I think he's the priest that Ted coaxes down from a window ledge, only for the guy's depression to re-emerge from listening to the latest song by Radiohead on a coach journey
Yawns, yes I know that but it still doesn't make them a race of their own and btw, the current UK govt plan to strip them of their minority status which the stupid Labour govt gave them and I can't wait for the day.
pekerdalton There are many Traveller names you would never have guessed where Traveller names....Simply because they have the same names as the people in Ireland and England.
I met a settled traveler couple on our estate. The wife had black eyes, broken nose and split lip................ I asked him what happened to her. "going through the change" he replied. The menopause doesn't have that effect on a woman I exclaimed. NO, he said, "I woke up this morning after a load of pints, she was searching my pants pockets, going through the change.
Travellers are not a race, they’re just some people who don’t settle and have no permanent house. When they have sons and daughters they never settle either.
I obviously understand your point and broadly agree but it's important to consider that no people are a "race". The idea of race is a fiction, one that could be argued (but still not correct) in an era before sea faring boats were invented. In the animal kingdom if a population of animals is isolated for long enough an evolves enough unique characteristics, eventually they have problems interbreeding. At that point they are considered distinct species. Every human in the world can interbreed with another from any part of the world no matter the colour of their skin, height or size of their nose. Meaning we are the same species. Our ancestors apparently even ocassionally sucessfully interbred with Neanderthals which were a separate species. In the animal kingdom we never ever apply the term "race" to animals, not to subdivide a species. And species is the very smallest subdivision, of eight. A black, ginger and white cat are all the same species. There really really isn't any such thing as race and that isn't an idealistic platitude. What differentiates people is ethnicity. And ethnicity is a composite where physical traits / "genes" form only a portion. Ethnicity is also made up of cultural identity, regional customs, diet, clothing, religion, language, and even nationality and political affiliations. The travellers of the British/Irish isles can be correctly labelled as an ethnic group. They have no physical traits to distinguish them from rest of the population but they have a long established and strict lineage of behaviour, customs and group identity. Things which radically differ from the rest of the population. There is more similarity culturally between British Muslims with a South Asian heritage or British Christians with a Nigerian heritage and the broad white native population than there is between travellers and the broad population. Tell me who fits in more as a "normal" and accepted British person out of Anthony Joshua or one of the 12 year old traveller driveway/generator/sofa salesmen who left school at 10 and will be married in a couple years? As an ethnic group they definitely can and do face discrimination. In Nazi Germany half a million Romani Gypsies were exterminated. Even in the UK racism against the Irish was as extreme as racism against black people up until 1980s. And travellers fall "below" Irish in the eyes of the broad population still, because they keep separate and mostly only known for negative reasons.
@kenny chamnan in 2016, yes. They were considered a “minority group” because that’s what the travellers wanted But still, that’s no excuse for all the things they do eg: don’t give their daughters a proper education, some set houses on fire, fighting and disrupting the peace. That’s not being racist, they’re facts. I saw a video in my own town where these two traveller gangs came up to each other with crossbars, bats and knives. I saw that on WhatsApp, and it was on the Main Street with tons of onlookers!
This was bloody hilarious, not offended at all. Go free speech!!!!! This is why we have so many fights..... Even we aren't quite sure what our friends and family are actually saying.
I'd seen him on Derry Girls but didn't know his name. Now RUclips has led me here after I watched all 9 "Feckin Eejit" videos and let me tell you- I will put RESPECT on Tommy Tiernan's name from here on out. This was feckin hilarious.
@@putinsgaytwin4272 Wait are you for real? Chances are if you pick a random Irish person out of a crowd and asked them what they think of Travellers, you'll think you stumbled into a KKK rally. Same goes for asking basically any European what they think of Romani, which is ironic since Europeans tend to pride themselves on being so much more tolerant and accepting of other cultures than Americans.
I was listening to Absolute radio this morning with this comedian on,later he is on a suggested youtube video. They are listening through your mobile phones.
I can relate to this. 🤣 I've done that kind of mistake. The finding up I crossed a line after I crossed a line 🤤. . . . . . And making things worse while cringing at myself. 😓 It's funny cause it's true. This joke can relate to the Clark Kent in all of us when you think about it.
I was in a Chinese takeaway and three travellers were ordering food talking in that fast accent and afterwards when the travellers left the Chinese person behind the counter looked at me and with a look of awful depression said uhh horrible people horrible people
i work at one, and one of the women demanded a "spoice bahg" and my boss was so confused XD she explained what it was and he just said we dont serve that here!
that was really funny , Although in fairness when Tommy was chatting to John Connors on his show they had a laugh about it. Its only a laugh and Connors took it as so.
It's tough being a comedian these days. He got in trouble for some Jew jokes a few years ago as well. I think it completely derailed his American career.

Gavin James Oh ffs, travellers are not a race! And also I’m from Ireland and travellers are the most ignorant violent people in Ireland. Obviously coming from themselves, they’ll say they’re not, but they set houses on fire, are nuisance to all decent people in Ireland, are a nuisance financially, taking social houses, social welfare, doing nothing except fighting, they’re not true Irish people, trust me 💚
Cathal Ó Braonáin I’m from Ireland, and that comment is really racist. And no, i’m not a Protestant or a unionist... I’m just not racist. And yes, maybe when it comes to history, England did take over Ireland. But this is the present. And there has been much violence on both sides, English and Irish, Irish and English. Most of it is sectarianism though, but please don’t make statements like that, so untrue and racist.
@Cathal Ó Braonáin nah man we gotta let tha go the British are nice ppl on general besides it was only the royals and certain man who benefited from tha not the average British person we gotta give the British a break I love them
A joke about Travellers cannot be racist because Travellers is not a race of people, even in our loose interpretation of the word. We all need to get over ourselves and stop being so thin-skinned.
can you be racist to a welsh, a scot, an irish or an english man ? you can. you know the indians are consider the same race as europeans as well as the middle easterners. hell you can be racist againt you own people if its about there ethnicity its racist. saying that people are thin-skinned and there really is nothing wrong in my eyes in being racist to a degree
Reindeer Jones there is no such thing as race, only ethnicity. There is such a thing as racism however, which was invented in the 1800s to oppress people of the human race with different skin colours and ethnicities

Irelands best comedian. Try Dylan Moran too. You'll love them.
Look up his cameo in a Father Ted episode. I think he's the priest that Ted coaxes down from a window ledge, only for the guy's depression to re-emerge from listening to the latest song by Radiohead on a coach journey
Being American, I don’t know much.*^
Despite my Irish father my american mother said the same thing to me and dad watching one of his sets
Fcukin fab, Tommy at his best..
Rubbish
That's actually what an angry traveller sounds like.
Inicint fool
Gobshite
Since when were travellers a race?
greywolf 18 since a long time
greywolf 18 the only race they are is white European.
Yawns, yes I know that but it still doesn't make them a race of their own and btw, the current UK govt plan to strip them of their minority status which the stupid Labour govt gave them and I can't wait for the day.
@2manynegativewaves being Irish is an ethnicity tho
@2manynegativewaves half isnt irish ya dope
im a traveller and I found this funny
😂😂no your not. Travellers cant spell
I never heard of any travelers called ,hall or carr
pekerdalton if u go to galway or ennis then u will
pekerdalton There are many Traveller names you would never have guessed where Traveller names....Simply because they have the same names as the people in Ireland and England.
ur dead right
This is one of my favourite ever
I met a settled traveler couple on our estate. The wife had black eyes, broken nose and split lip................
I asked him what happened to her. "going through the change" he replied.
The menopause doesn't have that effect on a woman I exclaimed.
NO, he said, "I woke up this morning after a load of pints, she was searching my pants pockets, going through the change.
love it!
ah domestic abuse hilarious isn't it
Travellers are not a race, they’re just some people who don’t settle and have no permanent house. When they have sons and daughters they never settle either.
I obviously understand your point and broadly agree but it's important to consider that no people are a "race". The idea of race is a fiction, one that could be argued (but still not correct) in an era before sea faring boats were invented.
In the animal kingdom if a population of animals is isolated for long enough an evolves enough unique characteristics, eventually they have problems interbreeding. At that point they are considered distinct species.
Every human in the world can interbreed with another from any part of the world no matter the colour of their skin, height or size of their nose. Meaning we are the same species. Our ancestors apparently even ocassionally sucessfully interbred with Neanderthals which were a separate species.
In the animal kingdom we never ever apply the term "race" to animals, not to subdivide a species. And species is the very smallest subdivision, of eight. A black, ginger and white cat are all the same species.
There really really isn't any such thing as race and that isn't an idealistic platitude.
What differentiates people is ethnicity. And ethnicity is a composite where physical traits / "genes" form only a portion. Ethnicity is also made up of cultural identity, regional customs, diet, clothing, religion, language, and even nationality and political affiliations.
The travellers of the British/Irish isles can be correctly labelled as an ethnic group. They have no physical traits to distinguish them from rest of the population but they have a long established and strict lineage of behaviour, customs and group identity.
Things which radically differ from the rest of the population.
There is more similarity culturally between British Muslims with a South Asian heritage or British Christians with a Nigerian heritage and the broad white native population than there is between travellers and the broad population. Tell me who fits in more as a "normal" and accepted British person out of Anthony Joshua or one of the 12 year old traveller driveway/generator/sofa salesmen who left school at 10 and will be married in a couple years?
As an ethnic group they definitely can and do face discrimination.
In Nazi Germany half a million Romani Gypsies were exterminated.
Even in the UK racism against the Irish was as extreme as racism against black people up until 1980s. And travellers fall "below" Irish in the eyes of the broad population still, because they keep separate and mostly only known for negative reasons.
And Dodge taxes
Sam Walsh1 Travellers have been recognised as a race of people in law, so yes one can be racist against them.
@kenny chamnan in 2016, yes. They were considered a “minority group” because that’s what the travellers wanted But still, that’s no excuse for all the things they do eg: don’t give their daughters a proper education, some set houses on fire, fighting and disrupting the peace. That’s not being racist, they’re facts. I saw a video in my own town where these two traveller gangs came up to each other with crossbars, bats and knives. I saw that on WhatsApp, and it was on the Main Street with tons of onlookers!
Sam Walsh1 agree 100%
This was bloody hilarious, not offended at all. Go free speech!!!!! This is why we have so many fights..... Even we aren't quite sure what our friends and family are actually saying.

Im a traveller... & this is funny, he's having a laugh 😂.. Its not 1 bit racist....
Would you say you ever experience actual racism?
@@putinsgaytwin4272 Wait are you for real? Chances are if you pick a random Irish person out of a crowd and asked them what they think of Travellers, you'll think you stumbled into a KKK rally. Same goes for asking basically any European what they think of Romani, which is ironic since Europeans tend to pride themselves on being so much more tolerant and accepting of other cultures than Americans.
What a fucking legend 😂😂😂😂😂
CC subtitles gave up soon after I clicked it.
I was listening to Absolute radio this morning with this comedian on,later he is on a suggested youtube video. They are listening through your mobile phones.

I can relate to this. 🤣
I've done that kind of mistake. The finding up I crossed a line after I crossed a line 🤤. . .

It's funny cause it's true.
This joke can relate to the Clark Kent in all of us when you think about it.
YOU are the very best comedy Tommy😊
I was in a Chinese takeaway and three travellers were ordering food talking in that fast accent and afterwards when the travellers left the Chinese person behind the counter looked at me and with a look of awful depression said uhh horrible people horrible people
i work at one, and one of the women demanded a "spoice bahg" and my boss was so confused XD
she explained what it was and he just said we dont serve that here!
I hope he meant the individuals. 🧐
What did he say on the Late Late Show about Travellers?
They smell 😂
This is honestly fucking gold!!
I'm a traveler and I speak like that to people whom offend me 🤣
A traveler with correct grammar!
the alwee down near the ivy cottage
that was really funny , Although in fairness when Tommy was chatting to John Connors on his show they had a laugh about it. Its only a laugh and Connors took it as so.
best comedian of all time
Did this just pop up in my recommended because of my name? Anyway I'm not complaining, absolutely hilarious🤣🤣🤣
He’s morphing into bill murry😂
What speed were they travelling at?
It's tough being a comedian these days. He got in trouble for some Jew jokes a few years ago as well. I think it completely derailed his American career.
It's not hard to just not be racist, though. Just don't say racist things.

Don’t think the travelers would get in an argument
I feel like I’ve seen this as a scene in Derry Girls.
Edit. Spelling.
They're all in ASDA car park in Dagenham.
"Hopital" 🤣😂
The travellers I went to primary school with were fairly racist themselves so I think a bit of slagging is okay :P
Amid cancel culture, this feels like a breath of fresh air

I was racist against travelers until last week's fight.
Gavin James Oh ffs, travellers are not a race! And also I’m from Ireland and travellers are the most ignorant violent people in Ireland. Obviously coming from themselves, they’ll say they’re not, but they set houses on fire, are nuisance to all decent people in Ireland, are a nuisance financially, taking social houses, social welfare, doing nothing except fighting, they’re not true Irish people, trust me 💚
Cathal Ó Braonáin I’m from Ireland, and that comment is really racist. And no, i’m not a Protestant or a unionist... I’m just not racist. And yes, maybe when it comes to history, England did take over Ireland. But this is the present. And there has been much violence on both sides, English and Irish, Irish and English. Most of it is sectarianism though, but please don’t make statements like that, so untrue and racist.
@Gavin James: hilarious😐
@@samwalsh8299 my guy calm down that's some BS certain man r dickheads but like most of them are cool

What was the joke he told that was "racist"? Anybody know?
He’s been telling this joke for years so you have to dig pretty deep to find it.
Can't be racist Travelers or white and the comic is also White.
I was told Tommy has converted to Islam.
His comedy isn't offensive but half the comments on here are.
Haha love the Irish traveller accent it's funny as fuck and class
Swear I've watched this 50 times
Just travel. Reminds of people who I know.
brilliant
A joke about Travellers cannot be racist because Travellers is not a race of people, even in our loose interpretation of the word. We all need to get over ourselves and stop being so thin-skinned.
rephill54 travelers have their own ethnicity. Even on form it has a box to tic "Irish traveller"
can you be racist to a welsh, a scot, an irish or an english man ?
you can.
you know the indians are consider the same race as europeans as well as the middle easterners. hell you can be racist againt you own people if its about there ethnicity its racist. saying that people are thin-skinned and there really is nothing wrong in my eyes in being racist to a degree
Can you also be a traveller who doesn't travel anywhere
Reindeer Jones there is no such thing as race, only ethnicity. There is such a thing as racism however, which was invented in the 1800s to oppress people of the human race with different skin colours and ethnicities
But, which type of traveller? Time? Morris?
Brilliant Boss
