Agreed. Hint of a lilt is sufficient to sell the location. And Bill, Kate, and Cecily each had their moments of getting it more or less right, so that it didn't resemble working class English.
Yes and if I have to sit through British actors doing terrible American accents while being paid millions of dollars (I'm looking at you, Benedict Cumberbatch)! I think this is okay. I will say though Irish actors usually do a good job...Saoirse, Colin Farrell, Fassbender, etc...
Actually, I'll take it further. The point is to find the uncanny valley of an accent that's not perfect, but close enough to be funny, preferably exaggerated. That's what makes this kind of sketch funny. Just look at Fat Bastard from Austin Powers. If it's spot on, there's nothing funny there.
xxGodx Who asked what some man likes a woman to look like? The sheer male entitlement in your comment is astounding and very very sad. This is why we need feminism.
That actually would have made the skip even better like maybe he chooses her and then after the commercial they get to talking and find out they're related.
If #3 was his cousin, and if that meant being off to an early lead you'd have thought he was a member of the british royal family. They like to keep it in the family you know.... queen victoria married her first cousin and lizzy the second's hubby prince phillip was related before marriage to her as well. It explains a lot about the royals.....LOL.
I'm Irish. And I love this. Anyone "offended" by it probably shouldn't leave their house in the morning. It's just a piss take. If you can't laugh at yourselves then you can't laugh at all. Good job SNL!
I came to the comments expecting offended comments but then I remembered "Oh yeah, Irish people give zero fecks". So proud to be of Irish descent right now 😂
Being Irish redhead as well as a recovering Catholic school girl I was laughing and horrified all at once. The priest with the incense was the perfect touch, it used to make me faint when I was just a wee bit of a girl. Love SNL.
juhoismi I have not seen a single Irish person say anything even close to that being a good accent- speaking as an Irish person- a real one not an American claiming to be Irish- this is a brutal accent. But please- show me the comments from the Irish applauding it.
Literally in Ireland go somewhere you have never been and when they ask you what part are you from? and you answer.... they will know at least one person you know . You can’t do anything on this island without someone finding it out !
Shit is TRUE tho!! I'm 87% Irish and I have and am carrier of so many Celtic diseases it insane Including ankylosis of spine , the Celtic curse " Iron disorder And because we have a lot of Neanderthal (yes big toesbit tiny pinky toes )
This accent from Kate, Cecily and Bill, but with subtitles, can hold me for hours easily! What a soothing, Bewildering, Confusing, Enigmatic, Incomprehensible, Mystifying, Perplexing, Unfathomable, hard-understanding accent!
is no one going to mention Bill’s so good with any accent? EDIT: i get it, his accent is bad but lemme say HE DESERVED THAT EMMY FOR BARRY OKAY *PERIODT*
Hmmmm well if he's copying the accent of a Derry man who's lived in the USA for 30+ years and moved back to Dingle or "Dangle" as he said it's still pretty shit!!!😉😆
I visited Ireland years ago to see the town my father was bon in. Met a beautiful girl, went on dates and I kind of wondered if she might not be the one. Then i found out we were second cousins. Sorry, but I can't really spend my life with someone that far from family.
Years ago we went to the West Coast of Ireland on holiday to see where my dad grew up, one day he pointed out to the distance and in his Mayo accent he said "over that way is a place called Achill Island... But we'll not be going there as there all feckin inbred" 😂

its usually who is the last person in the family here is the way you are raised. by ancestry.com I am more German than Irish but my German ancestors came here in like the mid 1800's my Irish ancestors came here in the 1910's, so I have always been far more Irish than German

Agreed. Hint of a lilt is sufficient to sell the location. And Bill, Kate, and Cecily each had their moments of getting it more or less right, so that it didn't resemble working class English.
Yes and if I have to sit through British actors doing terrible American accents while being paid millions of dollars (I'm looking at you, Benedict Cumberbatch)! I think this is okay. I will say though Irish actors usually do a good job...Saoirse, Colin Farrell, Fassbender, etc...
Actually, I'll take it further. The point is to find the uncanny valley of an accent that's not perfect, but close enough to be funny, preferably exaggerated. That's what makes this kind of sketch funny. Just look at Fat Bastard from Austin Powers. If it's spot on, there's nothing funny there.
Exactly. I thought, this was pretty much understood. Saints, preserve us. ☘
@@waynej2608 Faith and begorra!
Cecily Strong is amazing and vastly underrated. How she doesn't have more sketches I'll never understand.
Shes in every Sketch, how many more do you want
She's wonderful.
each one is as beautiful as their skin is bright red under their makeup 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 the luck of the irish women
That shit had me triggered
alorable26 TRIGGERED AS FUCK THEY REALLY HAD TO GO THERE DIDN’T THEY
xxGodx fuck donald trump and that’s what they make foundation for
xxGodx Who asked what some man likes a woman to look like? The sheer male entitlement in your comment is astounding and very very sad. This is why we need feminism.
xxGodx sunburns and red skin are 2 different things lmfao
Anything that has Cecily Strong in it makes me melt. That's it, I might be her cousin !!
Remember that time from 'tree good fridays ago'
So she's definitely off to an early lead
I’d still hit that...and Eileen!
She is the hottest thing on SNL
I was waiting for a plot twist that Molly was actually Niall’s long-lost (not-so?) distant cousin....
Same! I demand a continuation of this sketch. Or a rematch, especially if they have an Irish or Irish-American host in the near future.
That was the disappointing part of the sketch :)
Twin sister separated at birth.
That actually would have made the skip even better like maybe he chooses her and then after the commercial they get to talking and find out they're related.
Only "distant" cousin?? She wouldn't have a chance.
this surprised me I didn't know SNL was still funny THIS WAS HILARIOUS
Hahaha. I agree. Maybe SNL hired a new writer for one skit.
To be fair, this is from a few years ago, when the chances of seeing a funny sketch were greater than 0.1%
1:35 "#3 is my cousin, so she's definitely off to an early lead."
*_SWEET HOME ALABAMA_*
Or Kentucky
roll tide
If #3 was his cousin, and if that meant being off to an early lead you'd have thought he was a member of the british royal family. They like to keep it in the family you know.... queen victoria married her first cousin and lizzy the second's hubby prince phillip was related before marriage to her as well. It explains a lot about the royals.....LOL.
@@tidefanyankee2428 Meh, they got nothing on muh boy Chucky Habsberg.
@@greghmn LOL, maybe, but it's pretty close.
He says he’s from dingle but his voice says Derry
Abby Ní Loingsigh yessssssss can’t unhear it now
Also known as londonderry
@@recepege No, just Derry.
Yes! He’s doing a Northern Irish accent and Dingle is about as far south as you can get. A totally different accent! Argh!
Americans only know one Irish accent and he didn't completely butcher it so he deserves a pat on the back. Lol
I find myself just marveling at Bill Hader. The acting he does in his body movements alone is great.
JesusPulledMeThrough i actually agree. His accent couldnt be more off but his body movements were spot on
And they cast Neil Patrick Harriss as Count Olaf. Bill Hader would have been the perfect one.
“Handsome Niall??” She’s already had her eye on him since they first met, playing in the alley behind her Da’s pub.
"Picky, picky" will forever be the best line of this sketch :D
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Wait.. the cousin is still playing? " omg I'm dead
I'm Irish. And I love this. Anyone "offended" by it probably shouldn't leave their house in the morning. It's just a piss take. If you can't laugh at yourselves then you can't laugh at all. Good job SNL!
It would all be accurate if all the contestants were from County Cavan.
Where you from?
That's a healthy outlook to have. Are you single, then?
Be a different story if this were an English comedy show.
sully1865 You’re a cute laddie.
I came to the comments expecting offended comments but then I remembered "Oh yeah, Irish people give zero fecks". So proud to be of Irish descent right now 😂
Being Irish redhead as well as a recovering Catholic school girl I was laughing and horrified all at once. The priest with the incense was the perfect touch, it used to make me faint when I was just a wee bit of a girl. Love SNL.
I just love Kate McKinnon. Especially, with this hair and accent.
@@rebeccareid89 hrmm, don't know. I was raised in crossmaglen. Sounded pretty close to normal.
juhoismi I have not seen a single Irish person say anything even close to that being a good accent- speaking as an Irish person- a real one not an American claiming to be Irish- this is a brutal accent. But please- show me the comments from the Irish applauding it.
@@rebeccareid89 So are you African or Pakistani?
the scalded hand is what does it for me
McKinnon does the exact same accent in absolutely all of her sketches. Overrated! 😁
"Diner with someone I'm not related to
_ Picky picky" 😄
"St. John's ghost, this game just got more competitive" LOL 😂😂😂
Literally in Ireland go somewhere you have never been and when they ask you what part are you from? and you answer.... they will know at least one person you know . You can’t do anything on this island without someone finding it out !
Don't tell them.
Sounds like Iowa. Everyone knows everyone here, or is related in some way.
Tia D. Only around 6 million in Ireland , similar to a lot of USA states
(Crosses border to North Ireland)
Nobody will find me here!

DAMMIT!
It’s worse when one parent is from Tipperary and one is from dun Laoghaire
"What... like bird bones? Soft skull? Strawberry nose? Tic-tac teeth? Brown blood? One big toe? Great advice, but you're about 500 years too late."
Seriously best line of entire thang.
And then Kate McKinnon’s arm...Omg, lol!!!
Shit is TRUE tho!!
I'm 87% Irish and I have and am carrier of so many Celtic diseases it insane
Including ankylosis of spine , the Celtic curse " Iron disorder
And because we have a lot of Neanderthal (yes big toesbit tiny pinky toes )
And you know I grabbed my big toe as if to cover it when he said that too, at least my Finnish grandmother kept me from being utterly inbred hahaha.
Hilarious
I'm a Polack who grew up in a South side Chicago neighborhood in the 70's.
I loved this skit and so do my Irish friends. Very funny
In Tasmania, here in Australia, they actually invented speed dating. But they call it a family reunion.
Tasmanians make the Irish look like wowsers
Laughed so hard, I spilled me Guinness. Forgive me, Father. It was a sin AND a cryin’ shame.
That’ll be 9 Our Fathers and 15 Hail Marys for your penance. Do ya understand the seriousness of your offenses?
Now, off with ya!
Why is a pint of Guinness and a priest the same?
Black coat, white collar and you better watch your arse if you get a dodgy one.
So you would be the type that if a fly landed in it, you would pull it out, hold it above the pint and and say "spit it out"

This accent from Kate, Cecily and Bill, but with subtitles, can hold me for hours easily!
What a soothing, Bewildering, Confusing, Enigmatic, Incomprehensible, Mystifying, Perplexing, Unfathomable, hard-understanding accent!
Inaccurate stereotype. I'm Irish and none of my cousins are good looking. Neither am I, for that matter.

She is stunning and brave.
I loved this since my late sister's name is Siobhan. Very funny skit!
Old school professionalism.
@honey234 - All three of these women are tremendous talents as is Hader.
I just discovered her a few weeks back. There is not a better actress, just listen to her voice control especially.
"Um. Wait. The cousin is still playing???" I really hollered at that 🤣🤣🤣
I love Cecily Strong in whatever role she plays 😍
Agreed. She is something ❤💙

The only thing better than the sketch itself are the Irish folks in the comments taking this joke, and running even further with it 😂
“Number three is my cousin so she’s definitely off to an early lead” BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
King Henry VIII That got the snowball rolling downhill
is no one going to mention Bill’s so good with any accent?
EDIT: i get it, his accent is bad but lemme say HE DESERVED THAT EMMY FOR BARRY OKAY *PERIODT*
That accent is horrible no one Ireland sounds like that.
ikr? i know four irish guys and one of them speaks exactly like this.
It sounds Australian ...
@@dramaticteaspoon no it does not
Hmmmm well if he's copying the accent of a Derry man who's lived in the USA for 30+ years and moved back to Dingle or "Dangle" as he said it's still pretty shit!!!😉😆
Dang this should've been a saorsie Ronan skit. They missed it with this one.

Lol she was a bit passive aggressive about them inviting her on the show in December instead of St Patricks day.
I'm an American who went to Ireland for a while and wow, Bill, Kate and Cecily's accents are especially good!
I visited Ireland years ago to see the town my father was bon in. Met a beautiful girl, went on dates and I kind of wondered if she might not be the one. Then i found out we were second cousins. Sorry, but I can't really spend my life with someone that far from family.
“My favourite fruit is gray. My claim to fame is that I punched Bono in the back of the head” yall SLEEPING ON THAT LMAOOOO

Years ago we went to the West Coast of Ireland on holiday to see where my dad grew up, one day he pointed out to the distance and in his Mayo accent he said "over that way is a place called Achill Island... But we'll not be going there as there all feckin inbred" 😂

The most bizarre thing is that I was raised "Irish American" only to find-out as an adult that I'm only about 20% Irish, but I've still slept with two of my cousins.
wouldn't that be "two of me cousins" ? Hehe
its usually who is the last person in the family here is the way you are raised. by ancestry.com I am more German than Irish but my German ancestors came here in like the mid 1800's my Irish ancestors came here in the 1910's, so I have always been far more Irish than German
