An Irish man walks into a bar

Posted on July 9, 2025 by Joke Poo

He sits down and says “three Irish whiskeys please”. The bartender serves him the three Irish whiskeys as requested.

A week later the same Irish man enters the bar and orders the same three Irish whiskeys and the same bartender served him the whiskeys.

For several weeks, the same Irish man would enter the bar every week ordering the same whiskeys and the same bartender served him. But one week, the bartender said “hey, how about I just pour all three servings of whiskey into one giant glass for you?” The Irish man said “ohhhh, I appreciate the thought. But no, you see…I have two brothers back in Ireland who I miss very dearly. So when I have my three glasses of Irish whiskey, it feels like the three of us are enjoying whiskey like the good times.” The bartender replied, “okay, I understand” and poured three whiskeys as usual.

This continued for a few more weeks. Then the Irish man returned to the bar and said, “only two whiskeys this time, me lad”. The bartender said, “uh oh. Did something happen to one of your brothers?” The Irish man said “ohhhhhh no, I just quit drinking”.

Joke Poo: A Programmer Walks into a Coffee Shop

A programmer walks into a coffee shop. He sits down and says, “Three large lattes, please.” The barista, somewhat confused, makes and serves him the three lattes as requested.

A week later, the same programmer enters the coffee shop and orders the same three large lattes, and the same barista serves him the lattes.

For several weeks, the same programmer would enter the coffee shop every week, ordering the same lattes, and the same barista served him. But one week, the barista said, “Hey, you know, I’ve noticed you always order three. Would you like me to just make you a triple latte? It’ll save you money, and it’s basically the same thing.” The programmer said, “Ohhhh, I appreciate the thought, but no. You see… I have two virtual machines running on my laptop. When I drink my three lattes, it feels like all three processes are running smoothly, you know?” The barista replied, “Okay, I guess I understand,” and poured three lattes as usual.

This continued for a few more weeks. Then the programmer returned to the coffee shop and said, “Only two lattes this time, please.” The barista said, “Uh oh. Did one of your virtual machines crash?” The programmer said, “Ohhhhhh no, I just migrated to the cloud.”

Okay, let’s break down this joke and then inject some humorous enrichment!

Joke Dissection:

  • Setup: An Irish man repeatedly orders three whiskeys in a bar. This establishes a pattern and raises the question “Why three?”
  • Misdirection/Explanation: The man provides a sentimental reason – he’s drinking in solidarity with his brothers back in Ireland. This creates an expectation of a poignant, family-oriented punchline.
  • Punchline: The punchline subverts expectations. Instead of a brother’s death or misfortune, the reason for ordering only two whiskeys is that the man himself has quit drinking. This is humorous because it focuses on the man’s individual choice, making the previous sentimental explanation ironic and almost absurd.
  • Key Elements:
    • Irish Stereotype (drinking)
    • Brotherly bond/Sentimentality
    • Unexpected twist/Self-centeredness

Comedic Enrichment:

Let’s leverage those key elements for a fun “Did You Know?” observation:

“Did you know… According to a recent study by the fictional ‘International Society for the Preservation of Brotherly Tipples,’ approximately 87% of sentimental, multi-drink bar orders are actually elaborate schemes to guilt-trip bartenders into offering free peanuts. The other 13%? They just REALLY like peanuts. And Irish Whiskey.”

Why this works:

  • Plays on the Sentimentality: It takes the “brotherly bond” aspect of the original joke and exaggerates it to the point of absurdity, suggesting it’s a common manipulative tactic.
  • Adds a Cynical Twist: The “peanuts” punchline mirrors the unexpectedness of the original joke by shifting the focus to a mundane desire.
  • Uses Absurd Statistic: Citing a fictional society with a very specific statistic is inherently funny and adds to the satirical tone.
  • Ties back to the original: The mention of “Irish Whiskey” in the last line acknowledges the original joke and keeps the humor connected.
  • Enhances Humor: It adds a layer of cynicism and parody to the situation, making the original sentimental reason appear even more ridiculous in retrospect.

Alternative Joke:

An Irish man walks into a bar, orders three whiskeys, and lines them up. The bartender says, “I see you come in every week and do this. Is it a remembrance thing?” The man replies, “Not really. I just have trouble drinking straight.”

(Play on the word “Straight”)
