Noel Fee Yeah it’s blue, that’s the reason that copies of the constitution are covered with blue bindings.

Ryan Staunton ah that is true actually yes

So whats the alibi? J

The irish football team first wore blue and later changed to green.

The flag of the President of Ireland has blue, so it kind of makes sense. It was also used on the flag of the kingdom of ireland pre-act of union

Shadow Heart which ring?

+Rob Moore the brown one. LOL

The Pope's ring.

I wonder which Irish saint had the job of stopping it. "The titty sucking won't do, Jesus said woe to ye titty suckers. Now what are you doing with that knife King Spud? Lord protect my nips!"

@@markholden2444 Spuds come from the Americas. 😅

...Except that the Irish don't call the orange bit 'Orange', because it's too Protestant!

Some misinformed people call it Gold. The Irish government actually has a campaign to inform people that it is Green white and Orange and what those colours symbolise.

They're wasting their time. Do some Irish people change their names to Latin, so people don't mistake them for English?

That being the case, perhaps in the event of a United Ireland, it would be considered the 2nd Republic and have the flag of Blue with the Harp, as shown here?

This bingola twat is a simpler fool.

I really do dislike it when they reword the question, causing that.

Agree. On top of that, simply titling the video, "What do you call an Irishman with no nipples?" would have been *much* more interesting and enticing.

"glas" was also for the colour grey at one point as well which makes it even more complicated. "Iora glas" is still the Irish word for "grey squirrel"

Rory Mason Breton?

Dan H the language of Brittany in northwestern France

After some research, it seems "glas" at one point meant light blue, which makes sense as many cultures, like in Russia, see light blue as a different colour to dark blue and green, with a 13 basic colour spectrem. (English is 12)

Glas is green.

Contrabanned we still wait...

Time to write in to paradox

Greeks have castration and blinding, Irish get nipple removal.

St patrick noted in his confessio when he needed to escape ireland. He was required to suck the nipples of the crewmen of a boat that where going to ship him across to europe. He refused and for that they where going leave him behind till they allowed him on anyway. This came from patricks confessio. Sucking the nipples may have been a trust ritual. The culture of ireland at that time could be very literal. If you look at any statues of that time one key feature is their abnormally big heads. As it is believed that for these people (who obviously had limited biological knowledge) figured heads where the most important part of the body. Another case is their worship of oak trees as they believed that the oak connected the afterlife (roots) to life above ground. So taking that nipples probably where cultural significant maybe because of breastfeeding mothers to children. That for men to do it to men meant establishing a trusting bond like mother to child. Which if someone where to king that bond would be vital. Just a thought.

But he'll never have that cake again!

It often makes lists of the worst song ever written…

Ringo Von dingo Think of the nipples

Chick Norton Just piles of nipples littering the countryside taken from the unworthy.

What do you mean 150 kingdoms of Ireland?

@@felixking6634 there wasn't really a unified kingdom of Ireland

300 nipples

Plausible deniability is definitely a thing yes and "too much" of anything is definitely a negative but when it comes to knowledge in general I don't think it is possible to "know too much" or rather that shouldn't be seen as a problem anyway.

@@TheTruthKiwi do you still talk about historic nipples here?

He was a bag of laughs now that you mention it.

As well you should

I've been loyal to women ever since

jarv steal a bull. which causes a big war.

A woman could be elected exactly the same as a man. You would have had to do the same thing.

@@PanglossDr I think he more meant about the whole nipple sucking thing

well he would have several wives

They did not have several wives in Ireland

A Man Called Horse

well he did ,all of ireland sore fealty to him

He did in fact. But died almost immediately after his last battle to unite the island. So it was likely only Brian Boru if only for a few hours/minutes even.

There were no Kings of all-Ireland, but there were high-kings of Ireland who had the submission of all the kings of Ireland without opposition. Those were Brian Boru and Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn. There were several others that were high-kings, but did not have the submission (submission was marked by the giving of hostages) of every king in Ireland.

Yesn there was a king of Ireland. Wrong. Therr was MANY High Kings Of Ireland

@@Liamkiernan59 there was loads of High Kings of Ireland. Check the facts.

Possibly.

Doubtful, the celts were largely replaced/forgotten by other invaders/immigrant groups - vikings/danes, english, romans, etc... long before the invention of St Patrick or the idea of Ireland as a nation.

Beacuase the shows researcher is an imbecile

Nothing is ever unintended with Jimmy Carr in relation to comedy. He could write a thesis on it.

Historically blue and green were often considered the same. In Japanese the word for green is quite new too. The Japanese word for blue is Ao or Aoi and the word for green is Midori but when describing a green traffic light you call it an Aoi traffic light. Lots of languages historically had the same word for both blue and green.

I know right, honestly the poor Brits, so clueless.

It's ridiculous. How could they have left out the leprechaun?

We know what the flag looks like, but doing this allows us to offend the Irish and the French simultaneously, which happens to be and English pass time

But the flag had red on it, so it's an Italian flag.

Da Scientist its just the evening sunshine. Its orange

No

You don't want to know what it takes to be queen.

Intelligent Ape but isn't that Wales?

also blue, they're both Gaels

green green (1) nice beetlejuice (2) Gael as in Gaelic?

+mrsuperguy2073 Scotland literally means 'land of the Irish/Gaels" they are the Irish Gaelic who went over and joined with the Celtic Picts in Scotland

oh ok. i didn't know that.

There was no Irish Queens lol. There was the High King Of Ireland Then the "Tuath Rì Mór" under him who was a leader of a specific region. Then smaller "Tuath Rí's" who had their clan and a smaller area. ( sometimes these guys would battle other "Tuath Rí's" to gain more power and more land ) All of these obeyed the same Brehon Laws.

I would imagine so.

The King was held responsible for good harvests and bad. The people (never subjects in Ireland btw.. not subservient to a King..who was elected in many instances) It was a metaphorical 'suckling at the breast' or 'under the patronage' of he who rules. They never actually sucked nipples..of men..unless its a homoerotic sexual thing that some people do..

There's no shamrock, these QI lads just photoshopped that on

That’s not even a shamrock ☘️ it’s a four leaf clover. Of course in England no Irish history was taught

He doesn't want to do panel shows anymore

Ireland. Where "damp" is a color.

there were real historical High Kings of Ireland though were there not?

Go great with a Guinness

?

@@mcfcfan1870 Ireland is soveriegn English clay.

@@croweater6814 Irelands first High King existed hundreds of years before England itself existed, never mind the monarchy. And Ireland had a small empire too well before any one even knew what an england was. Not to mention the fact when england was first founded they couldn't even last 50 years before being conquered.

@@mcfcfan1870 ... *Soveriegn. English. Clay.*

Queen Medb warrior queen of Connacht. But nobody knows for sure if she actually existed or was a myth.

Senor Studly Please tell me you're joking?

Michael Gambon, not Ian McKellen.

Nope. True.

Yepper. That and a lot more has gone into the Jesus myth.

Get a life. No evidence whatsoever of that “influencing” the resurrection.

JD1010101110 In what way?

JD1010101110 Bollox

It represents the evergreen nature of christ. The Irish flag has the Green of Catholicism and the Orange of Protestantism with white between to represent peace between Catholics and Protestants.

JD1010101110 You're right that Protestantism is related to William of Orange. But green is related to Irish nationalism, gaelic tradition and the republican revolution, not religion. There are protestant nationalists and catholic unionists, there were just fewer of them. Look up Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen, they used green in the 1798 rebellion.

JD1010101110 Green does not represent catholicism. That is plain stupidity. It represents Irish nationalism. Guess who invented Irish nationalism and who most of the original leaders of Irish nationalism were? Protestants. There's nothing more ridiculous than someone claiming to know what they are talking about to someone who actually does know.

green green not misleading, they didnt say that lack of nipples was the only way you couldn’t be king

Beppe Sapone only if insist that Ireland is a Catholic country
