Is Conan O'Brien's angry drunken leprechaun potato the most offensive Irish stereotype ever?

You win, Conan.

WHAT’S THE WORST Irish stereotype you can think of?

Something involving leprechauns, potatoes, drink, and fighting perhaps?

Team Coco / YouTube

We’ll forgive you this time Conan. At least you’re legitimately of Irish heritage.

But we don’t want to see any other late-night US hosts stoop to these depths.

(Okay, maybe it would be okay coming from Fallon – but that’s it.)

Watch: Will Ferrell dressed up as a leprechaun and sang Danny Boy for St Patrick’s Day>
