Green, white and orange: a wrestling cement mixer in the colours of the Irish flag. Paddy O'Concrete sports shamrocks on his rims, on his drum and even on his cab's cape, and owes his name to the crossing of “Paddy” and “concrete”. He takes on Mater in “Monster Truck Mater”, the sixth episode of the Cars Toon released in 2010 and directed by John Lasseter and Rob Gibbs: his flow of concrete is sent back at him and he buries himself. This profile details his look, his original voice by Jan Rabson and his Disney Store exclusive diecast.

Summary

Who is Paddy O'Concrete?

Paddy O'Concrete is a monster truck wrestler built on a cement mixer, with clear Irish inspiration. Painted green, white, and orange—the colors of the Irish flag—he sports shamrocks on his rims, on his drum, and even on the cab's cape. His name combines "Paddy" (an Irish nickname) and "concrete." He appears in "Monster Truck Mater", the sixth episode of the "Mater's Tall Tales" sub-series from Cars Toon.

🪙 Paddy O'Concrete's drum, painted shamrocks and all, is only good for churning concrete; our Cars piggy banks keep your coins safe on your bedroom shelf.

The Concrete Fight

Facing Mater, Paddy O'Concrete relies on his favorite weapon: he tries to bury his opponent under a flow of fresh concrete. Bad move—Mater diverts the flow straight onto the wrestler, who buries himself and ends up transformed into a "patio, daddy-o." A defeat as absurd as his opponents.

🌞 Once Paddy is turned into a “patio, daddy-o”, Mater settles in on top under the parasol; to keep your own windshield in the shade, go for our Cars sun shades instead.

Behind the Scenes

In the original version, Paddy O'Concrete is voiced by Jan Rabson (credited on IMDb and the Pixar wiki). The episode is directed by John Lasseter and Rob Gibbs. For collectors, the character was released as a diecast, exclusively by Disney Store rather than the mainstream Mattel range.

🏁 His diecast stayed a Disney Store exclusive, but you can still fill your display case with our Cars Toon toy cars.
