Is this the funniest Irish video ever? It could well be.

Newswhip.ie discovered this clip on an Irish comedian David O'Doherty's Twitter page.

This is probably some of the best commentary every witnessed. Not only is this whole setting of the 1994 Newcastle West Donkey Derby hilarious but as the clip goes on the situation simply gets hysterical.

The commentary is a bit laughable but I really fail to see the humpor in hitting an animal to make him run. Or where is the humor in a human too heavy for said animal. Funny would have been the donkey's rearing and tossing the riders off!

On our first trip to Ireland we stayed our first night at a B&B in New Castle West. We had a great time but not as much fun as this video. The running commentary was priceless.

I don't think it's as funny as the knackers bare-knuckle fighting or the Gardai running from a group of stone throwing 12-year olds.

Great laugh, this is one of the reasons I tell people coming on a visit to Ireland, To stay off the motorways and head for the small towns and villages, you learn more about the irish people that way.
