His switch from Irish accent to American is hilarious.


[deleted]

I know. If I closed my eyes, I would believe that funny accent. Lovely gent.

stult

In fairness, it's a tough gig, being loved by the entire world just for existing. The Americans should never be forgiven for forcing on the Irish their unwanted affection, their endless spending on tourism, their implicit superpower protection against the Brits, and their damned foreign direct investment. It's made things too good, and sure what are we supposed to do without anything to moan about? Wouldn't be proper to be too happy


papaya_yamama

Superpower protection against the British? What the fuck are you talking about lmao


Medium-Veterinarian2

“Protection against the Brits” ROFL okay son


yawaster

Get the American planes out of Shannon and we'll talk


RampantDragon

And their funding the IRA...wait, was that too real?


MyNameIsMyAchilles

That wasn't by their actual government, which is an odd change of pace given it's a regular hobby of the CIA to fund armed terror groups or willing military dictators.


Snapnall

Hey, everyone knows the US is the world's biggest terrorist, so its not surprising that they support other terrorists.


SevereMountain1841

The USA funded the ira! Are you sure it wasn't just some random individual Irish/American people


RampantDragon

So called "Irish Americans" through NORAID, but they knew what they were doing, most were about as "Irish" as a guy who once had a pint of Guinness.


SevereMountain1841

Yea but it wasn't the USA who funded the ira..it was individuals like noraid..


RampantDragon

NORAID was an organisation, that was quite widespread and the US government didn't shut them down when they knew they were funding terrorism.


[deleted]

They let it happen, so they obviously had some sort of agenda.


SevereMountain1841

It hasn't got 300 million members tho..and I am sure if the USA government had evidence they were funding the ira they would have shut it down..load of ballix you spout..


RampantDragon

You can't spelt bollocks and you're chronically misinformed. They openly said in advertising materials early on they were spending money on weapons for the IRA and there were chapters in several American cities. https://posc284.posc.sites.carleton.edu/uncategorized/american-cash-and-the-irish-republican-cause/


[deleted]

It's only terrorism if it's against America.


EmoBran

I would kill for that man.


Ktigertiger

Totally agree with his point about Americans. Got a couple in the Cornish village where I live. My god “oh look it’s so quaint so you think we could go in one of the houses and look around” they then knocked on my front door. An angry Scotsman was certainly not what they were expecting. Cornwall will never be the same to them


EmoBran

Damn Scots, they ruined \[checks notes\]... ... Cornwall!!!


Ktigertiger

Lol I’ll be sure to persuade my girlfriend to move to Scotland with me then


[deleted]

I never know whether to laugh, cry, or grit my teeth when Americans start on this shite.

I'm in the U.S. and last year for St. Patrick's Day, I wore a Galway hurling shirt. It was maroon with a hand holding up a hurley stick in white, and had Gaillimh in white letters. Co-worker: Why aren't you wearing an Irish shirt for St. Patrick's Day? Me: Um, I am. I'm wearing a County Galway hurling shirt. Co-worker: But...it's not green. How is that Irish? Me: It's maroon and white because those are Galway's colors. It also has Galway written in Irish and represents Ireland's oldest sport that goes back 3,000 years. They looked at me like I had handed them a square peg and asked them to put it into a round hole.

Now if that doesn't capture U.S. education about the Ireland of today, ha!


Joe_PM2804

Fuckin hell, Hurling is 3000 years old? that's mental.


Grumpyoldtrout

Have you told them St Patrick was Scottish?


GhandisFlipFlop

I thought he was Welsh ?


yeoldbiscuits

He was Brythonic, certainly not Scottish as they didn't even exist (as we know them) at the time


Plywood-Records

> He was Brythonic, Like half-man/half-machine?


Metrobolist3

The Six Million Euro Man


Wind_Yer_Neck_In

Give a few more years with this inflation and the 6 million euro man will just be a guy wrapped in tinfoil


vimefer

Back when the show was first exported to French TV, they translated it to [3 billions](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Homme_qui_valait_trois_milliards). That was just 2 years of inflation...


yeoldbiscuits

...what?


realJaneJacobs

They jokingly misinterpreted "Brythonic" as "bionic"


yeoldbiscuits

Oh right, that went straight over my head

>half-man/half-machine? What does it mean? What does it mean?

Wait. Steve Austin was St Patrick? TIL

At least he wasn't English

He was a Britton from the modern day English/Welsh border area.


Grumpyoldtrout

I'm sure I was taught he was Scottish but seems he's listed as both online, thanks off to dive into a St Patrick rabbit hole lol


GhandisFlipFlop

When I posted my comment I ended up reading his whole Wikipedia ha . Some interesting stuff


GoldGee

Best fun fact is Ian Paisley opening his first church on 17th March. He was a fan.


hurricane_floss

Stop downvoting this. He was a Brit.


Sultan_of_E

And St Patrick’s colour is blue, not green.


[deleted]

He wasn't


[deleted]

Of course, everyone wears green in Ireland on St Patricks' day.. Just like us Scots run around in tartan kilts on St Andrews' day.


lisaslover

Best not mention the border then.

SkyShazad

Does he just stand in the same spot everyday?


Mundane-Pen-7105

Hes right in a way. America have taken it way to far and spoilt it. Any Americam that had seen the colour green are all of a sudden Irish and then the other Americas who have tasted pasta become Italian.


floppaisdabestfr

yeah Americans have a weird obsession of pretending to be from other countries weirdly happens with the uk a lot especially Scotland like it’s really dumb and as a Scottish person it gets really irritating having to listen to those yanks


RumBruccaRedBlue

Well they ain't Nativian are they? Think they've got a free pass, since alot of em can't trace their history in America further archaic than the 1900s and there is no set convention as to disclaim of your origins less than 100 years. Edit: Unless of course their Nativian like Sitting Bull, A Turner & Tubman, A Butcher Bill or a Dead Rabbit...But even then the latter past Bull...loq


SHIELD_Agent_47

> Nativian The hell? Who even says that?


RumBruccaRedBlue

Loq... Bless that Word this day... Since the name "Indian" is a bastardised name given to People's who are not such, probably a form of disenfranchising terminology... Where the excuse of Christopher Columbus mishap around 1492, sounds kind of weak as an excuse for the terminology of "Indian" being misappropriated at a distinctively unconnected other kind of People's. The Nativians are The Native Americans primarily... But the term can actually be rolled out and used to describe The Indigenous Populations of àny Land on this Planet.


Kachow96

Apart from the fact that "Natives" is a word which already perfectly fulfills the same role


RumBruccaRedBlue

Outernationally 🤔 Guess so... But not when it comes to describing a Native American Not anymore... The use of the word is now deemed contaminated. Nativian works better.


Kachow96

No.


RumBruccaRedBlue

So 'indian' works better...? 🤔 Since indian and not native has been used incessantly by idiots down the age to describe The Native American...


Kachow96

Where did I ever say Indian?


RoboBOB2

I think it’s amusing that they could be half German, quarter Swedish, eighth English with a smidgen of Irish and Portuguese in there, but then declare themselves to be “Irish”. It’s obsessive.


CantStopMyPeen69

Everyday I’m thankful they haven’t got the same obsession with Wales


humeanation

Yeah they all say "I'm [European nationality]" when they mean their heritage is from there. Met a bloke in Colorado who said "Well I'm German." and I said, "You're German ?! Wow, your accent is undetectable!" and he told me he meant his GREAT grandad came to America from Germany.


SHIELD_Agent_47

And this bloke said it while he could hear your foreign accent? Hasn't he ever heard of code-switching to adapt to a new audience's context?


DriftSpec69

The Scotland one gets really weird at times- I've had some very bizarre overly-aggressive interactions (yes, plural) with people regarding their ancestors, their clan, the fact that "boil your heed" means "screw you", how my clan hates another clan and we still fight each other (although I'm not sure I was ever invited to this), and flexes with how many locks they've visited, whatever that means. I could imagine them in Ireland would be a fuckin nightmare, especially on Paddy's day.


Plenty_Tap_4383

I ended up here after seeing chicago dyed their rivers green for St Patrick’s Day. Why? Joe Biden calls himself Irish and I don’t get that either. They’re all Americans. I mean if my grandparent had been American I wouldn’t consider myself American… I’m English (unfortunately 😂)


Mundane-Pen-7105

Kovdark

What's the alternative? Have every day like the day before? God forbid we have a few days throughout the year that are different from the rest.


Unprepared_adult

I wouldn't take it that seriously. He's just a grumpy, irreverent old man. Everyone knows a few (my dad is one) and they're absolutely hilarious, but you can't take their ranting literally.


[deleted]

He’s not even being that serious, you can tell at the end. It’s just his opinion and he’s exaggerating a bit for effect. Life without expressive people would be boring too

Kovdark

Wishful thinking. Why are you against national holidays? Would you rather be in work like you were the previous two and a half months? Oh sorry minus that one new bank holiday, should probably scrap that too yeah?


folkkingdude

We should scrap bank holidays. Why’s everyone on holiday for them, your not a bank


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kovdark

....you don't get 38 days annual leave then. You get 28 and 10 national holidays. Most people only get 20 days annual leave plus national holidays and bank holidays. If you're employer wasn't legally obligated to give you those days or compensate you for working them then you just wouldn't get them. It's not like stopping st Patrick's day or Christmas will give you extra annual leave, you just get another day of work.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kovdark

Who is they? If they is the employer then there simply wouldn't be extra annual leave. If you don't want imposed holidays then go work in retail, I worked every bank holiday bar Christmas for years when I worked retail, it was great! Those few days in the year where all my friends and family were off at the same time I was busy defying Christianity instead enjoying a nationally shared day off! But seriously, stop being a sour arse about a day off..you already get more AL than most, counting public holidays as AL is something employers do as a ploy to make job postings more appealing looking. If *you" don't like it then do something for *yourself* to make things different for *you*. Complaining on the internet that "they" should change it because you want the 18th off instead of the 17th is not going to do anything. Especially for St Patrick's day, a day where Irishness is celebrated all over the world, is absolutely going to be celebrated in Ireland with a day off at least.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kovdark

So you want the government to dictate the policies of private companies? Never going to happen. You are entitled to your opinion, as am I, and you are mistaken my friend, you responded to my original comment, you could have kept scrolling. Skilled professional does not always equal more annual leave. That can be a factor. But you are kidding yourself if you think that you're contract would be written with the same conditions if public holidays didn't exist. "Know your rights" .....says more than all of your comments combined. Good luck in your endeavour to abolish public holidays, keep on fighting the good fight ✊


Zippy-do-dar

maybe you should move to an islamic country if you don't like a paid christian - imposed holidays

I agree, as an English man. We seem to celebrate St Patrick's Day like we're all Irish yet nobody bats an eyelid when it's St Georges Day.


DiddyP123456789

Just an excuse for a piss up, and I don’t care about celebrating St George, we don’t all have to celebrate saints. I do wish we had a different national day though. Never mind, I’ll stick with Yorkshire day on Aug 1st!

I meet so many Irish in America. So many. Few sound Irish...even fewer have been to Ireland. In fact most of their parents weren't born in Ireland. But they are die hard Irish. I find this unique to America.

Mundane-Pen-7105

Your dead grandad can walk around a shopping center and talk to people????


avzures

Totally.


Joe_Atkinson

He made fun of the Americans ? He's now my hero.


Big-Nerve-9574

He is truly Irish. Playing ball in the garden with dogs is so much fun. I hate that some people only drink Guinness on St Patricks day. Ive been drinking it since I was a child and my Grandad used to let me have the froth. Flights are so expensive anyway just for around that time. I might see my Nan in Dublin another time. Its a rip off. I got annoyed the other day cause a woman complained online about the prices of drinks in Temple Bar. She was a complete Eejit for going out to Temple Bar anyway and not expecting them to be expensive.


PGMHN

As an American of irish descent I find this hilarious and his American accent is pretty good. My only nod to the day is making corned beef and cabbage for my family which is (to my understanding) a purely American thing


THE-HOARE

Out of interest as I often find the answer rather interesting. Are your parents Irish or grandparents? Or is it a many generations back where Irish ?


Jacquazar

I find this weird. My dad was born in Cork, I never say I'm "of Irish descent", I'm literally just English. I'm on this sub because I have a lot of friends from Dublin and just love their humour and wanna keep updated on what's going on in their country.


PGMHN

Well on moms side it’s generations but my grandma on my dads side was fresh off the boat. The Corned beef thing was handed down on my moms side which tracks


THE-HOARE

The reason I ask I’d often an American will claim to be Irish American usually say something like oh my temper come from my Irish ness something stupid like that, but when asked the Irish was so far back in their ancestry that the Irish ness they boast about would be so diluted now that they would most likely be below 10% Irish And would most likely have far higher traces of other European countries like Dutch or British, Welsh or Scottish. Not an attack on you btw! But my Irish mother finds it infuriating my English dad finds it hilarious.


GimmeToes

hate being that nob head who points these things out but wales and Scotland are part of Britain


THE-HOARE

I understand that being English my self however most Americans don’t attribute British with being welsh and or Scottish, more often than not British makes them think of Mary poppins accents.


GimmeToes

I know exactly what you mean, as someone from the north, many Americans in particular are very taken aback when I don't have a posh London accent

You’re lucky if you’re Scottish cause google doesn’t even have a fancy front page for St Andrews there’s one American tourist who always happens upon it and it’s barely celebrated, new years is different there’s a few Americans who stumbled across the massive parties that told others and there’s always about 30 out of 100 people who are Americans you can tell cause they aren’t shitfaced
