Comedian posing as Irish dancer joins breakdancers on New York subway - VIDEO

Running into break dancers on a New York City subway is nothing for most native New Yorkers to bat an eye at. However, for the break dancers to be upstaged by a faux Irish dancer?
Comedian Tyler Fischer stole the spotlight from some break dancers on a subway recently when the music switched up to an Irish reel and Fleischer began to prance around the subway car.

“Look at him go! He’s a little leprechaun!” cheered on the break dancers who were presumably in on the stunt.

In our opinion the best part of this video isn’t Fischer’s fly Irish dance skills but rather how completely unphased the New Yorkers on the subway are about what’s taking place. Only in New York!

Check out the video below.

We too were sucked in by the packaging but no this is not a crisp (chip) flavored chocolate bar but an invention brought forth by Mr Tayto to thrill the Irish around the globe who love to eat chocolate alongside their favorite cheese and onion treats.

The man himself spoke to TheJournal.ie and explained where this confusingly packed chocolate bar’s inception had sprung from. He said “I thought that as crisps and chocolate together is such an Irish tradition, why not bring out my own bar? It’s not crisp flavored! Just nice milk chocolate so you can eat it with crisps if that floats your boat.”

United States Secret of State returned to work on Monday after almost a month of health problems. The State Department released some cheery photos of Clinton being presented with a football helmet by her staff, before chairing a weekly meeting of assistant secretaries.

Clinton was recently released from a New York City hospital where she was treated for a blood clot, in a vein between her brain and skull. The clot was brought on by a concussion she obtained in December when she collapsed at home due to dehydration.

The 65-year-old, soon to be retired secretary, was presented with the football helment, for extra protection, and a football jersey with the number 112, representing each of the countries she has has visited while working in this position.
