I just have to ask, are the Irish simply starved for things that taste delicious, or what? This very amusing video shows Irish folk trying American Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for the very first time. The results are close to sexual orgasm and heroin and something else...can't put my finger on it. I haven't been to Ireland since around 1988, but it appears The Irish have grown more delightfull.

What would happen if they were introduced to Snickerdoodle's?

For me the best doughnut is fried right in front of you, rolled in sugar and eaten as soon as it is cool enough to eat. Fresh as a daisy. No fillings or frostings. This is how I had them growing up in the UK. At one time most seaside resorts had them along with the hot dogs and candy floss (cotton candy in US-speak). I also remember buying them in Woolworths..
Don't get me wrong, it's all a matter of taste, and this is mine. I also like the churros I find in spain. Same mix, different shape.
I even think our supermarkets do a better job though of 'adulterated' doughnuts. Whatever the fillings etc., they tend to be fresh, whereas the Krispy Kreme - we've had them here a while now - things look as if they've been there all day. I personally just don't get it!
However, my sister lives in Ontario, Canada, and she's quite a fan of Tim Hortons. I have enjoyed their 'Timbits' on occasion, where you get the bits out of the holes and can get them mixed up with all different flavours.

I've recently discovered these "Irish People Try..." videos, and I must say that Nicole sure is hot! So is the bonnie lass with the amazing hair who looks to be a bit older than the other ladies.
As for Krispy Kreme, in the '90s I worked across the street from one, and whenever the Krispy Kreme sign would light up--signifiying fresh doughnuts--people used to react like many dopey FSMers whenever some soundtrack release is announced that interests them, and chuck money at the doughnut people.
Me, I've never even tried the stuff. Now that I'm shoving 50, doughnuts give me serious heartburn. I do miss lemon creme doughnuts, which Dunkin Donuts no longer sell. 
When I was a kid, my family used to go to Mr. Donut, which is sadly long gone.

I'd say the suspiciously over-enthused people in the video wanted their footage to be used, so they'd see themselves on TV or something.
"Real people" taste test commercials used to be notorious for exploiting this effect, so much so that Alan Funt did a classic Candid Camera segment to show people raving and cooing over a drink that was deliberately made to taste bad.

If you are going to eat a donut, find an independent shop that still use pink boxes.
That is the gold standard for donuts.
Anything else is a wanna-be/also-ran.
