Paddy and Murphy aren’t just names; they’re the dynamic duo of Irish humor. Think of them as Ireland’s answer to Batman and Robin but with less spandex and more shamrocks. Traditionally portrayed as two Irishmen, they’ve starred in countless jokes and stories, each tale painting them into hilariously stereotypical situations, usually involving a pub, a perplexing problem, or a pint… or perhaps all three.

Now, on to the comedic craic! Why has the Emerald Isle gifted us with such characters? The Irish have a grand tradition of storytelling, where wit and whimsy flow as freely as Guinness from a tap. Paddy and Murphy jokes capture the essence of this Irish charm, with a splash of playful stereotyping for good measure.

It’s all in good fun, with these characters often bumbling their way through situations in a manner that’d make even a leprechaun facepalm. The tales of Paddy and Murphy allow us to laugh at life’s absurdities and embrace the delightful daftness that exists in all of us. So, here’s to Paddy, Murphy, and the endless laughs they bring from the heart of Ireland to the world’s chuckling chorus!

An Irishman is walking home in Belfast, after a long day of alcohol filled festivities.
His walk proves to be longer than he anticipated and nature starts calling. He keeps walking, hoping he’ll make it home but he can’t hold it in anymore. He looks around but can’t see a place to conceal his inevitable colon loaf. He stops in the middle of the footpath, lowers his trousers, squats down and drops the most relieving of number 2’s he’s ever dropped. Standing back up and realising the sheer volume of his delivery that is now in the middle of the footpath, he takes off his top hat and places it over the top of his steaming shame. He briskly continues walking home.
Shortly after, Paddy and Murphy are walking along the footpath, full of whiskey and cheer. Paddy stops when he sees the top hat. “Murph, do ya see tha?” “Aye,” says Murphy. Wide-eyed and wonderstruck Paddy continues “It’s a Leprechaun’s hat. Ma told me, if you find one, they’ll be a Leprechaun hiding under it. If you’re quick enough, you can catch him and he has to grant ya wishes” Murphy is intrigued. Paddy continues “You lift up the hat and I’ll grab him!” Murphy and Paddy stumble over to the hat and execute the plan; Murphy lifts up the hat and stumbles backward falling over and Paddy immediately reaches over to grab it.
“Did ya get it, Paddy? Did ya get the Leprechaun?” Murphy slurs.
Paddy replies, “Nah, but I scared the shit out of him!”

Murphy watches in amazement.
The foreman shouts, “Paddy, go home. You’ve gone mad.”
So Paddy leaves the site. Murphy starts packing his kit up to leave as well.
“Where do you think you’re going?” asks the foreman.
“Well, I can’t work in the friggin dark!” said Murphy.

Two Irishmen were walking down a street in London.
Paddy turns to Murphy with a look of amazement on his face and says, “Murphy, will you look at that shop over there? I thought that London was supposed to be expensive!”
Murphy says, “Paddy you’re right so you are. Suits £10, Shirts £4, Trousers £5, I think that we should buy the lot and take them back to Ireland. We would make a tidy profit selling them in Dublin, so we would.”
Paddy says in agreement, “Murphy that is as good an idea as you’ll ever have, but I’m pretty sure that you have to pay taxes and duty on things like that. The shopkeeper will never let us have them if he thinks we’re going to export them and make our fortune, so he won’t.”
Murphy thinks and says, “Paddy, I’ve got an idea! You can do the best English accent out of the pair of us. You go in there and do the talking and I’ll just stand behind you and say nothing. He’ll never guess we’re Irish. No, he won’t.”
“OK,” agrees Paddy, “I’ll do the talking, you just stand there and look English.”

Paddy lowers his head to the table until he’s almost nose to nose with the animal and says, “Go on then, tell me a joke!”


So the two go into the shop, where Paddy is greeted politely by the owner. Paddy then proceeds to do his best English accent, “Alwight mate, I’ll ‘ave 20 of yer suits, 20 shirts, and 20 pairs of trousers please.”
Upon hearing this request, the owner smiles and says, “You boys are Irish aren’t you?”
Quite bemused, Paddy replies, “Oh be Jesus. Mary Mother of Christ, if that ain’t me best English accent? How in God’s name did you know that we were Irish?”
