Stereotype: The Irish Are Witty and Insightful

One of my favorite bits of Ed Byrne's is his deconstruction of Alanis Morrisette's song "Ironic," but studies have shown that a good many of you won't devote five minutes to a YouTube video embedded in a blog, so maybe you'll watch this two-minute Byrne clip in which the comedian deconstructs Back to the Future.

We've all become a bunch of tongue-in-cheek punsters and one-line deliverers. I blame Twitter. At some point, this irony we are addicted to as a culture might come full circle and make us all innocent, wide-eyed fools again. That will be nice.
