Irish Commentator On Olympics Sailing Contest Does Utmost To Disprove Stereotypes of Irish

I don't know if this is quite real. I've looked, and while a lot of sites are linking it, I don't see anyone confirming that this is a real, paid commentator. For all we know, this is just a guy watching a live feed and adding his own commentary.

Still, for all of that, it's pretty darned funny. There's a bit of cursing along the way, and various jibes about various other countries, and a pretty hysterical ending that causes me to seriously doubt this man is a professional sportscaster. (Update: Commenters are pretty sure they've read he's a comedian, not a sportscaster. Makes sense. Still funny.)

But still, he's funny, both when he means to be and when he doesn't exactly mean to be.

Hey, you know who I should share this with? CakeGirl.

Hey CakeGirl, do you like this clip?

CakeGirl is too sexy to have an opinion.

She's probably sitting there thinking of ways to make Ryan's life more awesome. How wonderful for him. I'm so happy for him he should only drop dead and rot.

Update: Vic wants to know what ever happened to TriCorner Tea Party Babe.

Hey Tricorner Tea Party Babe, 'sup?

You still doin' all right? That's good, that's good.

Anyone ever tell you you look like a Sexy Pirate? Oh, everyone tells you that?

Everyone's right. I'm battening down the hostaes right now, if you know what I'm saying.

By the way, Tricorner Tea Party Babe actually said she was fine with posting her picture, so long as I mentioned her political advocacy group at her school.

So, here.
