VIDEO: This Super Bowl ad featuring a leprechaun is all sorts of cringe

Top o'the morning to ya

The Superbowl goes on for about 4 hours and the one thing you’re guaranteed when watching it is lots and lots of really top class ads for Mercedes,Microsoft and the likes.

30 second spots go for millions of dollars so company’s need to make a statement in the short time allowed. And boy did the guys at Golfnow outdo themselves in 2015.

There isn’t any obvious Irish connection to the action in Arizona,unless you count Tom Brady’s relations in Cavan,allegedly.

But Golfnow have brought a little bit of sham Irish culture to the good folk in America, and across the world to life tonight with their ad called One Lucky Chuck, featuring you’ve guessed it,a leprechaun. Oh God. Hang yeir heads in shame Golfnow.

We think it’s pretty offensive,to be sure to be sure.

We’re just off out to bury ourselves under the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
