Answer for Laravel 5.8.33+

If anyone reads this nowadays: there's no need for any hacks or Query Builder extensions. The query builder natively provides an insertOrIgnore method that does just that.

Just use

DB::table('tablename')->insertOrIgnore([
    ['column_name' => 'row1', 'column2_name' => 'row1'],
    ['column_name' => 'row2', 'column2_name' => 'row2']
]);

See the documentation or the API docs for details.
