Tim’s take
His default mode on Ireland is mockery: backwards, credulous about witches and banshees and spontaneous combustion, and reducible to a one-export "butter economy" 38:51 37:11. He uses his own Irish blood as license for this, framing it explicitly as racism he's "earned" as an adult rather than something he felt as a kid 14:05, and the same shorthand turns up as a punchline about a hopeless government he could infiltrate or heckling material for Saoirse Ronan 20:30 13:50.
At the same time he keeps circling back to the heritage sincerely — floating actual EU citizenship through his grandfather, praising Galway's beauty and a Belfast pizzeria, and calling the accent the most musical one there is 22:16 12:32 1:00:16 20:12. He even mocks Bill Maher for crying about feeling connected landing in Ireland while elsewhere admitting something close to that himself, so the affection and the contempt never really resolve into one position 1:13:51 40:56 28:52.
