No St. Patrick’s Day would be complete without one of the most ridiculous local news segments ever aired: this classic NBC report about leprechaun sightings in Mobile, Alabama. I’ve watched this repeatedly over the last couple years, and I still can’t believe that any of these people — from the reporters to the witnesses — did this in any kind of seriousness. “WHO ALL SEEN A LEPRECHAUN, SAY YEAH!”
In other holiday news, you really need to check out Burnsy’s feature on animals dressed up for St. Paddy’s Day. It’s exquisite. I think #7 is probably my favorite, but #33 gives him a run for his money thanks to those shamrock glasses. I would give anything to be hanging out with those dogs, instead of drinking alone at work and doing my job poorly.

Just think of all of the awesome gold grills that pot of gold could provide.
Matt, today you’ve posted about Padma in a bikini, an Australian real estate ad that features a girl in lingerie tied to a chair, and dogs dressed up for St. Patty’s Day. Anyone who tells you you’re doing your job poorly can go take a flying fuck at a freight train.
Yep. Between the other posts and now the Leprechaun classic, feel free to slip into a Guinness and Gumbel couch coma with no shame whatsoever.
Every time I see that video I am convinced it was created by Fox News as part of an in-depth look at why black people shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Leprechauns are just susceptible to crack addiction, it’s genetic. God I miss 10 cent green beer pints back in college.
i love how he pronounces gold.
“It’s turrrible. Turrrible. Can you repeat the question?”
As a black man, I. Thank you for not posting this during black history month. Geez.
As someone who has been forced to live in Alabama for gainful employment, I can tell you those folks in Mobile are considered the sophisticates.
The secret to the south’s delicious Shepherds Pie? German Shepherds.
YEAH!!!
Yeah, Spatula, I think I saw you bagging groceries at the Publix. You are typical of the level of transplants we get in Alabama.
1) Did the black news anchor inform anyone that this was kinda sorta racist? Because if not, it’s about time a woman finally knew her place.
2) None of those people look Irish
3) That dorky one sounded exactly like Homer Simpson saying “It’s pronounced ‘nuke-ya-ler…..nuke-ya-ler” when he said “Leprechaun” the second time.
@Philip. Yep, and you’re typical of the inbred, hillbilly fucktards I have to deal with on a daily business. Hope you and your Klan buddies die in a blaze from your flaming crosses.
Anyone who doubts these people weren’t 100% serious has never been in Downtown Mobile.
Also Sue Straun is fucking cunt. I’ve never seen anyone who’s nothing more than a local news anchor think so highly of themselves as she does.
