I think "lad" hit it's peak in the late 00's and early 10's when the lad bible was really popular.
It was a time when people would just repeat the word back and forth at varying volumes and lengths kind of like that "wazzup" Budweiser ad. They were simpler, and better times.
P.S. out of curiosity I looked up that old website and it is now a completely different thing. It used to be more like the madlad subreddit, but with just text and people would type out their own stories/jokes, rather than sharing news stories and memes.
People who write like they talk are an instant downvote for me. Nobody should hear an accent through a text comment. And the major of people are just putting it on anyway as if it's some sort of sign of Irishness.... It's not.
Ah lad
Lads how long would it take to circumnavigate the equator after a hape of Guinness and 2 bags of tayto? What
18 immersions yup out of it
And a chicken fillet roll from the centra
Longer than if you had a hape of Guinness and 2 bags of yokes
The key is to keep drinking the Guinness, if you stop, it’s curtains.
Yer man Guinneas Fogg did it
Sure I wouldn't know, I'm only a ladeen
Mvp
How are we to know you're talking to us if you don't address us thusly

Damn it. I was too late to post the Father Ted memes. I’m a disgrace.
Lads

Lad, you’d be right by that
"You have used 2 inches of stickladdery, god bless you"
Lads, anyone else notice or am I the only lad?

Well lad I don't know what to tell ya. Sure lookit, isn't that it.
I'll allow it.
Better than "HeY yOu gUyS"
Here it is....
The only thing up there with "Ah Lads..." is people who make their obsession with "The Yanks" a personality trait.
100% nothing annoys me more than when you hear another Irish person moaning about “the yanks thinking they’re Irish” … like what a weird mindset
Ha ha ha - yes, 'lads' just draws you in when you see it!
You could try starting with "A chairde" for a change.
Lads and Lassies…ya gotta be more inclusive!
If I see this word, I immediately scroll onwards and don’t read it. 🫠
And yet here you are...!
Lad
If anyone ever opens with “hello everyone”, I assume it’s a bot 😅
“Hello, my fellow Irishers”
Ah, lads
This made me smile. Because I had this epiphany just the other day.
Hello to you too, Johnny(s)
Ha, scrolled to far to find this 😃
So,
Cheers pal.
‘Ah Jaysus Lads’, would be one step better! 👍
the entire population of carlow are on the irish sub reddits
anything is better than “bro”
ah here now
I seen’t it!
Whatever you say lad
If I understand its used alot in OZ so id say the bucks that come back are the ones using it the most.
Lad I got an actual notification for this post so you must be on to something here

The fake comradery and friendliness is so cringe
Well lad
Ah lad, would you kindly…
Must have an awful easy life if this is troubling your thoughts lad.
It's not a trouble at all, more an observation 😊
