WATCH: This Irish granny that’s playing Jibber Jabber will absolutely crack you up

Paul Moore

The most popular game this Christmas is feckin’ gas.

The real joy from the Christmas season is always found in those moments when you’re just having the craic will all your friends and family. A good board game or quiz is an essential part of any Christmas celebration, and this year’s most popular game seems to be Jibber Jabber.

In case you don’t know, the game requires people to say a particular phrase that’s written down on a card, and while this might sound easy, the other players usually struggle to hear the correct pronunciation because the person that’s reading the card has to wear a plastic mouthpiece in their gob while speaking.

It’s bloody gas, but take a look at this Wexford mammy that’s doing her very best to say the words “nutty noisy machine”.

JOE reader Alison Sidney-Stafford sent us in this footage and she says: “16 of us were at my house in Barntown for Christmas dinner yesterday. This happened when the 5 grand kids (Anna, Kate, Lily, Hayley and Billy) got their nanny to play Jibber Jabber. I’ve honestly never laughed so hard looking at my mam do this”

You can’t help but laugh along. This should definitely make you smile.
