The posters, which have sayings like: "Keep going, sure it's grand" reinforce the typically laid-back Irish mindset. Other, more risqué posters in the range include "A complete history of Ireland," which is summed up in four concise words: "Grand, lovely. Bollox, shite." These riotous posters will go down a treat on Saint Patrick's Day and are sure to give any ex-pats in your circle of friends a good, hearty laugh. The posters come framed beautifully in a high-quality hardwood frame with mounted glass to ensure they won't get ruined, even if you do slosh your Guinness all over them! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Funny Irish Saying Prints:** Opportunity to create and market humorous prints that reinvent traditional sayings. - **'keep Calm and Carry On' Re-invention:** Opportunity to create a new wave of re-appropriated posters in different cultural contexts. - **Laid-back Irish Mindset Reinforcement:** Opportunity to develop products that celebrate and reinforce the relaxed attitude of the Irish culture. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for creating unique and humorous wall art. - **Printing and Publishing:** Opportunity to produce and distribute re-appropriated posters with funny and clever sayings. - **Cultural Products:** Opportunity to design and sell products that celebrate and embody cultural attitudes and expressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Misspelled Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misspelled-holiday-campaign.md) - [Festive Irish-Inspired Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irishinspired-popup.md) - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md) - [Responsible Drinking Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irish-goodbye-program.md) - [St. Patrick's Burger Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-paddys-day-patty.md) - [Storytelling Celtic Bath Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lush-st-patricks-day.md) - [Loaded Paddy's Day Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-blarney-pub-fries.md) - [Reimagined Classic Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-lovely-day.md) - [Springtime Stout-Flavored Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deluxe-irish-stout-burger.md)
