VIDEO: Irish son gives his dad a GoPro to use on holidays and it’s amazing

Complete with Benny Hill music for extra comic value

This is the most Irish dad thing ever.

Irish parents and technology, eh. It’s the joke that never gets old.

Evan Griffin, from Balbriggan, gave his father, Joe (great name) a GoPro to use when he was on holidays in Las Vegas. The only problem was that Joe accidentally had the camera facing himself the whole time, while explaining what he was seeing.

Speaking to JOE, Evan said: “They went for my mam’s birthday so I gave it [the GoPro] to them. All the footage is only from the first day ’cause my dad later took it swimming without the waterproof case and fried it so missed out on the Grand Canyon and everything, haha”.

This is the most beautifully Irish thing we’ve seen in a while and we especially love Joe’s random Forrest Gump impressions.
