* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when ''ComicBook/ShadeTheChangingMan'' visits an American film production shot on location in Ireland. Only one of the cast is shown to be Irish, the rest hired from around England, but all of them scoff at the ridiculousness of the film and their roles.

* Music will tend to be traditional Irish music like that heard at a ceilí, and is almost always a jig or reel. If not that, it will probably be a Celtic punk band such as Music/FloggingMolly, the Music/DropkickMurphys, or the Pogues, though many of these bands aren't actually Irish (though both Flogging Molly and the Pogues have at least one Irish member). Ireland is a modern country with plenty of contemporary music in its history, such as Music/{{U2}}, Music/ThinLizzy, Music/MyBloodyValentine and many more.

* Corned beef with cabbage: This is a cultural trait of Irish-Americans. In Ireland, people eat [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon_and_cabbage bacon and cabbage]].[[note]]Ironically enough, Ireland ''was'' in fact a major exporter of corned beef-- which nobody in Ireland could actually afford, making it something of a luxury that Irish-Americans were able to procure more easily[[/note]]

* Wrinkly auld farmers greet travellers with a hearty, "Top o' the moornin' to ye." While some stereotypes have some merit, this has absolutely none. No Irish person ever says "top o' the mornin'". EVER. Unless they're ridiculing those who think they do. [[note]] Or if they're LetsPlay/JackSepticEye.[[/note]] This probably comes from ''Barr na maidine ort'' which is a southern regionalism. No one would ever say this in English. Real Irish people say "Hiya," or "How are ya," or comment on the weather.
