Your 8kg maize of flour comment made me laugh every time I read it as I was married to Civil Engineer for over 20 years and he never bought me home any bags of maize flour😂 I did get an old parking meter and I put it just inside the front door and made my friends put 10cents in on arrival 😂😂. Luckily the money slipped right through, I’d give them their 10cents back when they left 😂😂
In 100% agreement with you. I just wonder if his bosses have ever pulled him up over his accent - or was he ever sent on a grammar / accent course ? It would be a total waste of time and money because this man is set in his ways. ie, he wouldn't have enough intelligence to pay attention to the tutoring.
Holy crap, I'm safe at home on my couch and I want to burst into frustrated tears!! I've been to Dublin and am thanking my lucky stars I didn't cross paths with him!!! His rapid fire questions would trip anyone up and look "suspicious " to him!! The poor lady was probably looking for the restroom. 😂
He's a sweetheart, and very good at his job. He's caught more drugs and cigarette mules than most agents. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" is my thought.
@@excelenzwhat he just proved those two people who flew from Johannesburg/Paris were liars and fraudsters !!!! They used a cloned card belonging to a Japanese person to book flights !!!! He clearly knew before he called them over and caught them out !!!!
Bruce is just brilliant! The way he cuts through the story of the two civil engineers who flew up to Paris and then to Dublin... with no hotel room reserved and kilos of a suspicious powder in their luggage. Bruce leaves no stone unturned! He is a true professional!
His questioning would ramp up the anxiety of the most innocent traveler to the point of appearing suspicious. All these praises for this guy, I don’t get it.
True, early in the vid the lass that's blatantly about to find herself locked in a room at a brothel when Muhammad meets her and he's just berating her. I guarantee girls have been trafficked through that airport because he's too busy acting like a dick to realise what's going on
I am Irish, And he has got to be the rudest Irishman ever. He's the passive aggressive one every time. And then turns it around accusing the other person of being aggressive.
Good at his job. Stop being such a delicate flower. There are people out there who wish to do harm. It's good to know he is doing a thorough job. Grow up and stop being a delicate flower.
No...He uses simple commands because he knows ...that simple English is easier to understand for foreign person...I can tell you do not have foreign friends or you do not speak any other language that English
Wow a real life Napoleon. He's making up for a childhood being bullied in school. Yes a customs officer has to be firm in his duty but this guy is just taking it to another level, enjoying it as well. He's like the security guard at the gate who thinks he runs the whole company.

I visited Ireland about 7 years ago. i had my Australian passport and all relevant papers. I told immigration I'm excited to visit the country as it is where my great great grandfather came from. I got a hug and big welcome. Amazing
"You have to relax a bit because you're making me a bit suspicious by being nervous" is the customs version of "Babe just calm down you're being hysterical" - it has never made a single person calmer, ever
@@TheElectricalTrainer The man bringing in skin lightening cream. Thats is ia VAT issue. the SAME ream is sold in Ireland so it cannot be illegal albeit maybe "controlled".
I take a shot every time he says "Plis" or "Tanks". I am now completely Plissed ("tanks" to Bruce). Bruce was surprised that the man from "Choyna" who had lived in Ireland for 30 years, could not speak English, but Bruce has lived there all his life and still can't pronounce please or thanks, or China.. Or "think" ("Tink") or "with you" ("Wityu") or "that" ("dat") or "the truth" ("de troot"). But "no woories OK?" Just so long as he checks on the "porpoise" of your visit it is OK. It is "now problem" so long as you don't tell any "loys". There is "now point in loying" if you have "now cigarettes"in your "loogiidge". It's OK. "It's now pronlem".
He stopped me once as his sniffer dog took a liking to my hand luggage. I had 7 kgs of yerba mate tea on me. I explained to Bruce that I had been to Uruguay where marijuana is legal, I also explained what the tea is used for. I was cooperative and he treated me well while swiftly checking my bag. We took a selfie and I headed off my way. 😂 RIP Bruce.
The best or the worst? This guy is beyond petty and he is wrong very frequently. He complains about passengers being "aggressive" when he is the most offensive, disrespectful and aggressive person in the whole airport, lol.
...he works at an international airport and seems utterly oblivious to foreign cultures. He thought the Latin American was "suspicious" for carrying Dollars...it was probably the bloke's life savings!
It’s not only the officer that has an attitude….. the officer has a job to do. I side with him …… the people are itching for a conflict ….. it’s a pain to be stopped but it’s their job and we have to be honest this is fun and profitable for people to create “gotcha” content
I reckon he wanted to be a policeman when he was a wee boy, and he dressed up as one as a child. He didn't get into the Garda, so ended up as a customs man!

Bruce Heller you are without a doubt the worst customs officer I've ever heard of and furthermore this is without a doubt the worst airport in Ireland I've ever seen.
@@aheat3036 you're funny for saying all that nonsense. Not all Irish people are like that, This customs officer clearly have other job/career choices that deals with the public as well, so that he doesn't have to interrogate the customer and yet he decides to become a customs officer even though he knows he doesn't want to be that guy who's frowned upon by the public. Imagine you got stopped by him and he asks you irrelevant questions, how would you feel ? If he really wants to question who he stops, just get straight to the point, he shouldn't waste his effort and everyone's time. His questions sounds just the same if he were to ask someone - " when was the last time your dog ate ?"
Aul Bruce stopped me in 2017 coming home to Dublin from Afghanistan via Dubai on leave. Chap was an absolute bellend. Bad mannered with a Terrible attitude and after 6 months away not a welcome home you would expect. Bruce got a taste of his own attitude back very swiftly and didn’t like it, surprisingly.
Maybe but he makes them look very stupid when he get smuggling anything into Ireland he listens to every word they say and repeats it to them if in doubt a good man at his job and that's needed nowadays
😅 Yes I understand his accent, but I live in Australia. However, if this custom man here in Australia I sear I would spend my last penny to sue him and making sure he’ll his job .
One of my worst experiences as a traveler was arriving at Standsted Airport and meeting an old timer like Bruce at the gates. I was dead tired returning from Asia and he was all over my case. He followed the same pattern as this guy does, first he would rile you up and aggravate you and then have the nerve to ask you why are you being so difficult... This guys need retiring etrainning...
They're the kind of people you want at the border. I'd rather have a traveller be they a citizen or foreigner being a bit stressed than a criminal, victim of HT, drugs, or dangerous food or animals getting in
You are just pissed because you were pulled. It's understandable, but they will tell you why, and it's up to you to rectify that so you don't get pulled again. And don't tell us it's because of your race or country of origin. I know people are only pulled for a suspicion regardless of their race or country.
Wow, please don't travel. You are one of those people who will freak out causing delays for everyone else. And, yes, you would be arrested, but dumb people usually are.
yeah, there is a way of doing that job and his way is very aggressive and in your face. and he does not realize. that he has an accent, which travellers may not understand clearly.
Then interrogates them after they say "fish and chips." I didn't like your tone how you said that... It's just a question. No need to get aggressive with your answer... Why fish and chips anyway? Are you friendly with any fish smugglers???🤣
He bruse should b transfered from customs to immegration with his vast experience he be able send back thousands with no ID or passport this would for sure help our country through our crises
I have to sympathise with some of these people having very limited English and being faced with his Irish interpretation of the language, 'Haeryawaitinto?' 🤣
This guy is so in my face that every time he asks for my passport I'm reaching for it and I'm sat watching this on my telly... I just want to run out of the room but I fear he will follow....
He flashes his damned badge 10 times a stop even when nobody asked, then when the elephant traveler asked to see it several times to jot down his name he's suddenly (even more) stuttery and badge shy.
@@steve00alt70it's not the preferred way for interrogating people, whether or not they are guilty of an infringement. He may be great at the job but this tv show will have released a sanitized version of his behavior and he is too aggressive and he enjoys the power trip which is dangerous. He takes things personally also which is a major red flag.
U would be surprised..And those very same Americans and their family's have injected Millions of €€€€ into the Irish Economy for many decades ( well before the EU stepped up to the Plate)
Hahahaha! Oh hes wonderful to be sure! When i had a tv i would always make a beeline for the customs channels and i saw this brilliant Irishman! And ive seen some if the jokes and comments and im laughing so much! My mother was from Kilmanagh and I can imagine them having the craic! X😊🙏🎄🙋
When this man retires, absolutely everyone will rejoice. Not only tourists, but the people he works with. Elocution teachers will breathe a large sigh of relief as well. They say small men have an axe to grind, and he does, in body and mind. “Don’t shout at me”, when the tourist was almost whispering. Good riddance to him when he’s forced to retire. Even then he’ll say they’re lying.
I met him once in Dublin Airport after a flight back from the US. I had a lot of suitcases with me as I was moving back to Ireland. He asked why I had so many bags and what my old job was and why I had so much stuff needed for that job. He said thank you and let me pass through to arrivals. He was really professional and pleasant to converse with.
Well, y’know, he’s a good awld bloke an dat, an don’t be forgetting he’s had a good training in sniffin’ out da sperm on his wife’s knickers after he gets home late an’ all, an all. He loiks a good drink, bejaysus.
Guy is very direct & experienced, probably why he's so good at the job. Doesnt mess around. Knows the right questions to ask to cut through all the basic stuff and get the answers that matter. I'd have no issues coming up against this guy 'cos I doubt he gets it wrong very often. Gotta keep our beautiful Emerald Isle safe.
I get his approach, but the rapid fire questions, leaving no time for a response from someone who can barely speak English let alone understand an Irish accent, then immediately putting them on the back foot, no wonder the passengers clam up. I’m Scottish so I’d be fine with him, but I get the reluctance from foreigners

Also: out of respect to the dog I have to search you. 😝
Thats a great statement "have a heart you are a man not a machine" all to true in this world today.
One of my worst experiences as a traveler was arriving at Standsted Airport and meeting an old timer like Bruce at the gates. I was dead tired returning from Asia and he was all over my case. He followed the same pattern as this guy does, first he would rile you up and aggravate you and then have the nerve to ask you why are you being so difficult...
This guys need retiring
etrainning...
Not really the fine english way to deal with people. No retraining for him. Termination or better, retirement!
They're the kind of people you want at the border. I'd rather have a traveller be they a citizen or foreigner being a bit stressed than a criminal, victim of HT, drugs, or dangerous food or animals getting in
@@markbenjamin1703 there are other ways to achieve the same result without being a prick, this guy just enjoys his position of power over people
You are just pissed because you were pulled. It's understandable, but they will tell you why, and it's up to you to rectify that so you don't get pulled again.
And don't tell us it's because of your race or country of origin. I know people are only pulled for a suspicion regardless of their race or country.
@@davidlynch9049 Hey David, hush it
I'd refuse to deal with him. I happily engage with any other officer but they'd have to arrest me before I interacted with his passive aggression
Wow, please don't travel. You are one of those people who will freak out causing delays for everyone else.
And, yes, you would be arrested, but dumb people usually are.
100% He's a full blown punt. Well something that rhymes with punt anyway
yeah, there is a way of doing that job and his way is very aggressive and in your face. and he does not realize. that he has an accent, which travellers may not understand clearly.
No problem. Arrested, and you stay arrested until you do. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These guys don’t have power to arrest you. Airport police do
Everyone is suspicious according to him
A pleasant and neccessary customs version of a Jack Russel :)
Pleasant lol he’s a nasty little man an insult to Jack Russel s
Rottweiler man. Serious ar**hole!
Haha correct
Or a mini rottweiler lol.
A Jack Russell is about as low as that creature can get. He shouldn't be anywhere near animals. He'd be sweating like Jimmy Savile in a mortuary.
Bruce does a good job but he incites aggression, with HIS aggressive approach.
He isnt aggressive your just making it harder on yourself by being awkward, im sure all his staff know that.
He's stern cos he has to be dealing with criminals to keep them off guard. He won't be fooled he's brilliant
Bruce: Do you speak English?
Me: No
Bruce: Perfect, I have 250 questions to go through and don't give me any attitude
Shouts at the guy, the guy raises his voice back and he gets mad at the guy for it. Power tripper
Imagine this man asking the kids what they want for dinner!! Classic comedian. Love him
Then interrogates them after they say "fish and chips."
I didn't like your tone how you said that... It's just a question. No need to get aggressive with your answer... Why fish and chips anyway? Are you friendly with any fish smugglers???🤣
Lol😂😂😂😊❤
This dude loves the power. I think he needs someone to love him for ones
He's a total bully and a clown, aye
How I love this fella's dialect. Whenever I need a lesson in Irish pronunciation I watch him.
He's a north side Dubliner. Even we don't understand him.
@@gerrycastlemanwarde5933 Understandable ;)
He bruse should b transfered from customs to immegration with his vast experience he be able send back thousands with no ID or passport this would for sure help our country through our crises
I have to sympathise with some of these people having very limited English and being faced with his Irish interpretation of the language, 'Haeryawaitinto?' 🤣
I feel like if this guy were to pull me aside I'd probably need a translator too.
Good lord what an accent.
I worked with him. He's seriously agressive and racist. He's also deaf. His accent doesn't do him any favours.
"Do you speak English? he asks. Yes, I reply. Can you? I can understand about one word in 5 of what you say.
my favourite part was when he said to the Chinese-speaker: uno momento
Yeah I laughed at that 😂😂😂😂
He’s the one who tries to intimidate passengers and royal them up for a confrontation.😮😮
This guy is so in my face that every time he asks for my passport I'm reaching for it and I'm sat watching this on my telly... I just want to run out of the room but I fear he will follow....
He flashes his damned badge 10 times a stop even when nobody asked, then when the elephant traveler asked to see it several times to jot down his name he's suddenly (even more) stuttery and badge shy.
I don’t like how immediately puts people on the defensive. He would get a lot further by being less passive aggressive. Terrible personal skills.
He is direct no messin about its a very serious job
@@steve00alt70it's not the preferred way for interrogating people, whether or not they are guilty of an infringement.
He may be great at the job but this tv show will have released a sanitized version of his behavior and he is too aggressive and he enjoys the power trip which is dangerous. He takes things personally also which is a major red flag.
He gets unto guys face for calling him man yet he calls everyone buddy countless times
This guy is very rude and disrespectful. I wish somebody can sue him and the airport
I only used to watch that programme to see Bruce. He’s hilarious 😂😂😂
Bruce has probably never left Ireland. Poor chap.
I'd love to see Americans who claim to be Irish try to translate this fella.😅
U would be surprised..And those very same Americans and their family's have injected Millions of €€€€ into the Irish Economy for many decades ( well before the EU stepped up to the Plate)
What are you bangin on about?
@@Tyrekickingwetdreamer U can read can't u!!
@@Tyrekickingwetdreamer it seems you can’t read either. Did your ma spend your school money on cans or gear😂😂😂
It might not be the words, but the difference of outlook.
He is... special. Not sure i would love to have him as a father in law but hey....
Hahahaha! Oh hes wonderful to be sure! When i had a tv i would always make a beeline for the customs channels and i saw this brilliant Irishman! And ive seen some if the jokes and comments and im laughing so much! My mother was from Kilmanagh and I can imagine them having the craic! X😊🙏🎄🙋
He's doing his job. Sounds like a bloody long shift too.
When this man retires, absolutely everyone will rejoice. Not only tourists, but the people he works with. Elocution teachers will breathe a large sigh of relief as well. They say small men have an axe to grind, and he does, in body and mind.
“Don’t shout at me”, when the tourist was almost whispering. Good riddance to him when he’s forced to retire.
Even then he’ll say they’re lying.
Then why you watching
@@steve00alt70
Never fear, dear heart, one only needs to watch it once to say, “NEVER AGAIN”.
Is that why about 95% of the comments support Bruce. Very few in your club.
Pathetic
He’s doing his job!! Narco smugglers who are up to no good hates him!!
I met him once in Dublin Airport after a flight back from the US. I had a lot of suitcases with me as I was moving back to Ireland. He asked why I had so many bags and what my old job was and why I had so much stuff needed for that job. He said thank you and let me pass through to arrivals. He was really professional and pleasant to converse with.
I think he dose a great job
What kind of English is that? It's DOES. Repeat after me.... D. O. E. S. And repeat. There's a good chap. 👋🏽
@@Bilbodabumbaclaaat done't noe wat yur tawking abowt.
I underdstuud hym perphektly.
Well, y’know, he’s a good awld bloke an dat, an don’t be forgetting he’s had a good training in sniffin’ out da sperm on his wife’s knickers after he gets home late an’ all, an all. He loiks a good drink, bejaysus.
@@Bilbodabumbaclaaatthanks, I had no idea what he was talking about.
Guy is very direct & experienced, probably why he's so good at the job. Doesnt mess around. Knows the right questions to ask to cut through all the basic stuff and get the answers that matter.
I'd have no issues coming up against this guy 'cos I doubt he gets it wrong very often. Gotta keep our beautiful Emerald Isle safe.
God he’s a fuckin nightmare
He really plays to the camera
Why not this guy is a Gem.
I get his approach, but the rapid fire questions, leaving no time for a response from someone who can barely speak English let alone understand an Irish accent, then immediately putting them on the back foot, no wonder the passengers clam up. I’m Scottish so I’d be fine with him, but I get the reluctance from foreigners
