I'm a German American, like half German.' I said; 'Oh...your mom was German or something? She never taught you German?' He said; 'Nah, my grandpa from my dad's side came from Germany when he was a little boy. He taught me like...Hallo and Gutentag and shize.' I said; 'Do you mean scheisse? Like, shit?" He said; 'Yeah hahah. I don't speak German often and he's been dead for ages. But I do like Germany, a lot.' I said; 'Oh nice, where did you visit?' He said; 'Oh no, I didn't visit..I wanna go backpacking around Europe one day, but like, only been to Florida so far. I will go past Germany as well, I think, after I visited like the big ones in Europe." I said; 'Oh..okay...so..what do you know about Germany then?' He said; 'Well, like..maybe wooden clocks or something. They've got those. And like..meat. And sauerkraut, I do know that one." I said; 'Do you want me to teach you some phrases or..funfacts? Easy ones?' He said; 'Nahw man, I don't care hahah, but like..it's kinda cool I guess, being German and all, but like, nah.' I said; 'But you're an American :P Not a German. He said; 'German American ;-) I'm part German. I said; 'Well, alright, was nice talking to you, bye.' It wasn't nice talking to him at all.
You wanna know why so many Americans with Irish blood have a tacky understanding of heritage? Because most Irish Americans are White and White people aren't allowed to celebrate themselves as White people. So they accept a part of their heritage they know nothing about instead of being guilty for shit they never did.
@@Widdekuu91 Ugh those type of people are the worst, like bruh what's the point of telling people that you're mixed when you're just using it to brag, like if you don't know the language or don't live that lifestyle atleast learn and read about it.
Its a very very common thing to want to be part of a "group" ALL humans can be that way. Having heritage is a valid thing, but in the U.S. its super common for people to exaggerate because being an American isn't really a thing, outside of nationality and some decently but not as developed cultures like cajun and so on (due to the very small amount of time between Americas birth and globalization). Its the mindset of wanting to be "in that group" which leads people to say that sorta stuff. It does need to be said though that being from a certain country doesn't give one an authority on what heritage or culture someone else is a part of. That's a general statement though as it happens everywhere.
I’m fully Irish living in North America and so many people tell me the likes of “oh yeah I’m part Irish! My fathers uncles sisters grandfathers 27th cousin twice removed’s friend lived in Dublin for half a year!”
Im howling LMFAO As an Irish woman this is gold ! Also you forgot where they mispronounce everything while simultaneously suggesting two places that are no where near each other are a short walk way by foot and not 2 hour car journey lol
I can’t wait to see this! Oh to see Chelsea and her Irish hunk frolicking in the bog and consummating their love by the flame of the peat burning in the hearth.

My god! It's every movie my wife ever watches! Only, the same story is set all around the world, including small town America... and there's sometimes a girl with a horse... or a boy with a limp - from a previous marriage - and a deceased spouse who was run over by a turnip wagon. Great vids!
This is glorious! There is a reason Irish Americans are so fierce about claiming the identity, though. The Irish immigrants around the time of the potato famine were treated so badly and discriminated against hard, so it became a point of pride for them: “Yeah, we’re Irish-what’re you going to do about it?”
Yeah, my 3rd Great Grandmother came from County Cork to New York as an indentured servant. It was the same as being a slave, except that she was free after 6 years. And people wonder why the Irish Americans get in a fight at the drop of a hat, and drop the hat themselves if no one else does it.
I recently found out that they make movies, not just envelopes. I always find the envelopes in the thriftshop, they're quite sturdy. I never buy the cards.
The island of Hegg lies half-drowned and wind-battered, the furthermost drop of the outermost spray of the curling wave of the Outer Hebrides. I love that movie 🤣
I am not one who partakes in soppy, straight or straight-laced, Hallmark-ish romcoms... but Decoy Bride was just stupidly entertaining. I've seen it probably 10 times. But the, I love David Tennant and Kelly MacDonald has THE best voice and accent on the planet.
I can ride across the width of Ireland east to west, coast to coast in one full day on a touring bicycle and I'm not fit by any means, averaging 18-20km/h with breaks in between. That's from looking at the Irish Sea on the east to looking at the Atlantic Ocean on the west. I can drive it in 3 or less without breaking any speed limits and travel off-peak so no traffic delays. Similarly north to south in 7 hours. The journey in Leap Year was something similar to wanting to get from Lancashire to London but ending up taking a detour via Inverness and Cornwall with a couple of overnight stays if you were to transpose it to the UK. It's just a romantic nonsense movie set in a script writers imaginary world that doesn't exist in reality. But sure tis' a grand wee film!
@@stephaniecarrow4898 Just to put it in context, I rode from Dundalk not far from where I live on the east coast to the seaside village of Strandhill close to Sligo town in the west. It is more or less straight across the narrowest part of Ireland so that was one major advantage for me although moderately hilly. I'm not an athletic cyclist and I wasn't riding a fast bike. It took me about 10 hours of pedalling with four or five hours of breaks and stops in between. As much a mini tour as a long commute. Twice as far as I'd ever ridden before and it took me two days to get over it. But for a fitter more experienced cyclist it wouldn't be too much of an ordeal. I just wanted to prove a one off personal point to myself.
Fun Fact: When you're watching the movie, around the 34-minute mark, as she's in the taxi just driving through town, past the local cinema, through the window in the background you can see Father Ted and Dougal protesting outside with the famous "Down with this sort of thing" signs... And again later, when they go to the county fair, they walk past the tent of the Spider Baby!
How many Romcoms set in Ireland are there? I thought there was just that one with Amy Adams where she wants to propose to her boyfriend in Ireland on Leap Day.
I know there's one about Hilary Swank's husband dying and so she goes to Ireland or something. I only saw the last five seconds and the credit scene but this feels accurate
I’ve seen a trailer for Wild Mountain Thyme, with yer man from Fifty Shades. It looks awful. And his accent is dreadful. Which is strange, as he is actually Irish.
I've never seen an American romcom set in Ireland, but now I feel I've seen them all, and this is the best one. Excellent American accent (from this American).
Hi. Stumbled across your Braveheart tour guide video while scrolling TikTok this morning, thought it was hilarious. Watched vast majority of your other TikTok vids too.....It's great stuff. Came here to see if you had a channel.....and low and behold! Very pleased to have discovered you. You have gained a new fan today! Keep it up you are fab!
A list of every American RomCom set in Ireland...that I've seen anyway and she's obviously making a skit of: 1: "Leap Year" (or whatever its called) Great skit though. Well done.
Thank you so much for this! and the other one - its not often I actually do a real Laugh out Loud. " One of Sean's sheep went missing, and he blamed your Great-grandfather!" 😂It just reminds me terribly of when we're in the pictures, then that really cheezy American/Oirish trailer comes on for an upcoming tripeflick like this, and we all go collectively scarlet, toes curl, quietly mutter 'f### sake' and bury our faces in the popcorn. Whats worse, is I live next to where they filmed 'PS I love you' and bussloads of tourists actually come to the spot where they met, and truly love this shite! Thanks for all your sketches, you've a great knack for history and accents, such a funny insight, great ending too 'and the Scottish actor we hoped you wouldn't notice' actually I don't know where to stop! I loved the spinning around dancing bits too - someone suggested you do a bit of a longer feature of this; I guarantee you 'as true as the Devils' arsehole stinks, and you don't bolt your door with a boiled carrot - we'd love it, to be sure, to be sure, begorrah! Honestly though, cheers,👍👍 I'm gonna show this to my Ma
Being from the U.S. and of 100% Irish decent (as far as I can trace), the wisest decision I ever made was lying during my trip to Ireland by claiming to be of 100% Polish decent. I felt far more welcome than those looking for their roots.
Just count yourself lucky that no one in the US is of English descent - except perhaps a rich baddie or two. Oh, and the man who by some terrible accident, becomes King.
I've only seen leap year but this is spot on in regards to that. Oddly enough I can't find many Irish Romcoms which I find strange considering almost mystical fascination with Ireland and it's charms. Toss in the general profit margin of a good Romcom and I thought there would be tons. Yet I mostly only see movies in relation to the troubles or events somehow connected to the troubles. I would love some suggestions.
There was a fairly recent (2020) film titled Wild Mountain Thyme (after the song) starring Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan. It's a very strange rom-com set in Ireland.
There's a YA one called Finding You, based on a novel by a writer I really like (Jenny B. Jones), but I'm not going to even risk watching it. Not a fan of Hallmark-type movies. It's got a 5.2 rating at Rotten Tomatoes.
I stumbled across this on this another sleepless night and I'm WHEEZING! I have actual tears in my eyes from laughing! I loved this and have been cackling cuz I was picturing so much 😂😂😂
Of course, this must be the reveal at the end of the movie! The handsome Irish guy's middle name turns out to be Blarney and his surname is gaelic for stone - so she did kiss the Blarney stone and got lucky! (No it doesn't make a link of sense but the script was written by an American) 😂

He said; 'Nah, my grandpa from my dad's side came from Germany when he was a little boy. He taught me like...Hallo and Gutentag and shize.'
I said; 'Do you mean scheisse? Like, shit?"
He said; 'Yeah hahah. I don't speak German often and he's been dead for ages. But I do like Germany, a lot.'
I said; 'Oh nice, where did you visit?'
He said; 'Oh no, I didn't visit..I wanna go backpacking around Europe one day, but like, only been to Florida so far. I will go past Germany as well, I think, after I visited like the big ones in Europe."
I said; 'Oh..okay...so..what do you know about Germany then?'
He said; 'Well, like..maybe wooden clocks or something. They've got those. And like..meat. And sauerkraut, I do know that one."
I said; 'Do you want me to teach you some phrases or..funfacts? Easy ones?'
He said; 'Nahw man, I don't care hahah, but like..it's kinda cool I guess, being German and all, but like, nah.'
I said; 'But you're an American :P Not a German.
He said; 'German American ;-) I'm part German.
I said; 'Well, alright, was nice talking to you, bye.'
It wasn't nice talking to him at all.
You wanna know why so many Americans with Irish blood have a tacky understanding of heritage? Because most Irish Americans are White and White people aren't allowed to celebrate themselves as White people. So they accept a part of their heritage they know nothing about instead of being guilty for shit they never did.
@@Widdekuu91 Ugh those type of people are the worst, like bruh what's the point of telling people that you're mixed when you're just using it to brag, like if you don't know the language or don't live that lifestyle atleast learn and read about it.
Its a very very common thing to want to be part of a "group" ALL humans can be that way. Having heritage is a valid thing, but in the U.S. its super common for people to exaggerate because being an American isn't really a thing, outside of nationality and some decently but not as developed cultures like cajun and so on (due to the very small amount of time between Americas birth and globalization). Its the mindset of wanting to be "in that group" which leads people to say that sorta stuff. It does need to be said though that being from a certain country doesn't give one an authority on what heritage or culture someone else is a part of. That's a general statement though as it happens everywhere.
I’m fully Irish living in North America and so many people tell me the likes of “oh yeah I’m part Irish! My fathers uncles sisters grandfathers 27th cousin twice removed’s friend lived in Dublin for half a year!”
Im howling LMFAO As an Irish woman this is gold ! Also you forgot where they mispronounce everything while simultaneously suggesting two places that are no where near each other are a short walk way by foot and not 2 hour car journey lol
Same lol
I can’t wait to see this! Oh to see Chelsea and her Irish hunk frolicking in the bog and consummating their love by the flame of the peat burning in the hearth.
Could you tone that down children might read it
Ha ha ha that's fab 😂
Begorrah.
"If I'm totally honest, I think I'm just here to confuss people."
Do you do merch? Because if you don't...I'd buy this on merch
With Gerard Butler’s face on the shirt please. 😉
I'm eagerly awaiting the special edition re-release featuring an entirely Ed Sheeran soundtrack, especially that one where "she played around with an Irish band/ then she had a fiddle with an English man" or somesuch. 😅
The RAIN
“I can’t give you electricity”
omfggggg 😆😆😆😆😆
Scotland has got the same problem lol almost all historical movies about Scotland as people dressed in tartan and kilts and of course, there is the change of historical facts and everyone appears to be living in the Highlands either in a croft or some fishing village lol
Braveheart... The kilts do my head in.
@@AlexandriaSWest all of it does my head lol they portrayed Wallace as this poor Highlander who lived in the glens when he was from just outside of Glasgow and then he was poorly educated forgetting that the real Wallace was of the middle class and he was a well-educated man who even might have served as a Merc as that is what they did back then argggghhhhh I could talk all day about the mistakes of all of Scottish Hollywood movies and don't start me about Rob Roy movie.. He burnt down my great ( so many time) Grandfather's door down and kidnapped his son lol
Tell me you're not dyed blue right now.
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music yeah sorry I only dye myself blue for weddings, funerals, parties, Christmas and St Andrews day so no !! Sorry
Yes, don't buy blue and white striped face towels from Primark!
I'm having a bit of an existential crisis: do I truly want to be a rain farmer? Or a humble leprechaun shepherd?
“Non-specific media job.” Bwahahaha.
Clever, well-written, produced and performed. The musical choices are great. Can’t wait to see you become famous. Well done to your collaborators on this project.
My god! It's every movie my wife ever watches!
Only, the same story is set all around the world, including small town America... and there's sometimes a girl with a horse... or a boy with a limp - from a previous marriage - and a deceased spouse who was run over by a turnip wagon.
Great vids!
This is glorious! There is a reason Irish Americans are so fierce about claiming the identity, though. The Irish immigrants around the time of the potato famine were treated so badly and discriminated against hard, so it became a point of pride for them: “Yeah, we’re Irish-what’re you going to do about it?”
Yeah, my 3rd Great Grandmother came from County Cork to New York as an indentured servant. It was the same as being a slave, except that she was free after 6 years. And people wonder why the Irish Americans get in a fight at the drop of a hat, and drop the hat themselves if no one else does it.
What is the European equivalent to Hallmark? This would fit perfectly in with the whole category.
It’s Hallmark.
I recently found out that they make movies, not just envelopes.
I always find the envelopes in the thriftshop, they're quite sturdy. I never buy the cards.
This is great! Recently I watched a parody of your film with a blond redhead and an unique talented Irish man from Devon in the cast.
For those wondering, the Decoy Bride with David Tennant was set in a remote *Scottish island, and not American at all. Although very cute
The island of Hegg lies half-drowned and wind-battered, the furthermost drop of the outermost spray of the curling wave of the Outer Hebrides.
I love that movie 🤣
I am not one who partakes in soppy, straight or straight-laced, Hallmark-ish romcoms... but Decoy Bride was just stupidly entertaining. I've seen it probably 10 times. But the, I love David Tennant and Kelly MacDonald has THE best voice and accent on the planet.
Would watch this. Sounds like a good wholesome story.
To Ireland: On behalf of Hollywood, I am sorry for Leap Year.
“This rain won’t farm itself” I’m dying
"This rain won't farm itself" made me do a spit-take! 🤣
I lost it at "only to Devon". The geographical inaccuracy is accurate.
This is so convincing that I want to see this movie, I think it's the music.
I kissed the Blarney Stone when I was in Ireland, all I got was a mild cough.
Actually that means you've developed an Irish accent!
;)
I can ride across the width of Ireland east to west, coast to coast in one full day on a touring bicycle and I'm not fit by any means, averaging 18-20km/h with breaks in between. That's from looking at the Irish Sea on the east to looking at the Atlantic Ocean on the west.
I can drive it in 3 or less without breaking any speed limits and travel off-peak so no traffic delays. Similarly north to south in 7 hours.
The journey in Leap Year was something similar to wanting to get from Lancashire to London but ending up taking a detour via Inverness and Cornwall with a couple of overnight stays if you were to transpose it to the UK.
It's just a romantic nonsense movie set in a script writers imaginary world that doesn't exist in reality.
But sure tis' a grand wee film!
This skit also describes movies like the matchmaker (90s)
Your description of biking coast to coast now makes me want to go there more than ever (from US).
@@stephaniecarrow4898 Just to put it in context, I rode from Dundalk not far from where I live on the east coast to the seaside village of Strandhill close to Sligo town in the west. It is more or less straight across the narrowest part of Ireland so that was one major advantage for me although moderately hilly. I'm not an athletic cyclist and I wasn't riding a fast bike. It took me about 10 hours of pedalling with four or five hours of breaks and stops in between. As much a mini tour as a long commute. Twice as far as I'd ever ridden before and it took me two days to get over it. But for a fitter more experienced cyclist it wouldn't be too much of an ordeal. I just wanted to prove a one off personal point to myself.
Damn Ireland is tiny
I was once at a T junction where the sign said 7 on one side and 8 on the other. Both going to the same place.
I love Eire.
The two sets of glasses 😂
LOL, I liked the "I have to swim the rest of the way" line.
Fun Fact: When you're watching the movie, around the 34-minute mark, as she's in the taxi just driving through town, past the local cinema, through the window in the background you can see Father Ted and Dougal protesting outside with the famous "Down with this sort of thing" signs...
And again later, when they go to the county fair, they walk past the tent of the Spider Baby!
Careful now...
How many Romcoms set in Ireland are there?
I thought there was just that one with Amy Adams where she wants to propose to her boyfriend in Ireland on Leap Day.
I know there's one about Hilary Swank's husband dying and so she goes to Ireland or something. I only saw the last five seconds and the credit scene but this feels accurate
Daniel's daughter was another one.
I've seen similar films where the woman goes to england or scotland as well
I’ve seen a trailer for Wild Mountain Thyme, with yer man from Fifty Shades. It looks awful. And his accent is dreadful. Which is strange, as he is actually Irish.
The Matchmaker, with Janeane Garofalo. She's sent to prove that a US politician has Irish roots and falls for a bartender named Sean.
I've never seen an American romcom set in Ireland, but now I feel I've seen them all, and this is the best one. Excellent American accent (from this American).
"this rain won't farm itself" absolutely slayed me
Hi. Stumbled across your Braveheart tour guide video while scrolling TikTok this morning, thought it was hilarious. Watched vast majority of your other TikTok vids too.....It's great stuff. Came here to see if you had a channel.....and low and behold! Very pleased to have discovered you. You have gained a new fan today! Keep it up you are fab!
So, I just recently found your channel: loving it. Thanks so much for putting this together. 🙏🏾💛😅☮️
I don't know how many American Rom Coms there are set in Ireland, but this has convinced me there is way too damn many.
“The real estate law firm” 😂😂
I'm glad they gave Craig a part. He's seemed so down lately.
“And this Scottish actor we hoped you wouldn’t notice” 😂
Your guy's American accents were really good. Also, this was absolutely hilarious the part when he said, "this rain won't farm itself killed me"
This rain wont farm itself,that was funy!!!
A list of every American RomCom set in Ireland...that I've seen anyway and she's obviously making a skit of:
1: "Leap Year" (or whatever its called)
Great skit though. Well done.
These are brilliant! And suitably short too, not like so many other 20-minute blathering, unedited messes.
Exactly, brevity is the soul of wit after all.
I must admit, I wasn't aware there were any American romcoms set in Ireland. But this is exactly what they would be like 😂
“I dunno what you’re saying, but I find it both wise and charming!” I just collapsed at this one. Every “American in [insert country name here]” ever!
Oh jeez, the Irish rain farmer line almost killed me.
I've only seen a couple of these, but you're hilarious. I hope you're making a good living off of your sense of humor Young Lady. LOL
She quit her job as a stripper to do this so it must be paying well.
Thank you so much for this! and the other one - its not often I actually do a real Laugh out Loud. " One of Sean's sheep went missing, and he blamed your Great-grandfather!" 😂It just reminds me terribly of when we're in the pictures, then that really cheezy American/Oirish trailer comes on for an upcoming tripeflick like this, and we all go collectively scarlet, toes curl, quietly mutter 'f### sake' and bury our faces in the popcorn. Whats worse, is I live next to where they filmed 'PS I love you' and bussloads of tourists actually come to the spot where they met, and truly love this shite! Thanks for all your sketches, you've a great knack for history and accents, such a funny insight, great ending too 'and the Scottish actor we hoped you wouldn't notice' actually I don't know where to stop! I loved the spinning around dancing bits too - someone suggested you do a bit of a longer feature of this; I guarantee you 'as true as the Devils' arsehole stinks, and you don't bolt your door with a boiled carrot - we'd love it, to be sure, to be sure, begorrah! Honestly though, cheers,👍👍 I'm gonna show this to my Ma
Being from the U.S. and of 100% Irish decent (as far as I can trace), the wisest decision I ever made was lying during my trip to Ireland by claiming to be of 100% Polish decent. I felt far more welcome than those looking for their roots.
Just count yourself lucky that no one in the US is of English descent - except perhaps a rich baddie or two. Oh, and the man who by some terrible accident, becomes King.
this sounds just like 'leap year' :) one of my most fav movies!
How are we to believe that a man who cannot grow potatoes is an established rain farmer?
You have to suspend your disbelief with these films.
I think I picked up a reference here and there to the film "Leap Year" which was a cute but predictably implausible American rom-com.
More accurate than a military grade laser guided satellite.
This is so good iv had to put 2 comments saying so , albeit in a slightly different grammatical signature
I've only seen leap year but this is spot on in regards to that.
Oddly enough I can't find many Irish Romcoms which I find strange considering almost mystical fascination with Ireland and it's charms. Toss in the general profit margin of a good Romcom and I thought there would be tons.
Yet I mostly only see movies in relation to the troubles or events somehow connected to the troubles.
I would love some suggestions.
There was a fairly recent (2020) film titled Wild Mountain Thyme (after the song) starring Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan. It's a very strange rom-com set in Ireland.
The Matchmaker, with Janeane Garofalo. She's sent to prove that a US politician has Irish roots and falls for a bartender named Sean.
Breakfast on Pluto is one of my favorite Irish films - though it's not a romcom and does have a tiny bit of Troubles stuff.
There's a YA one called Finding You, based on a novel by a writer I really like (Jenny B. Jones), but I'm not going to even risk watching it. Not a fan of Hallmark-type movies. It's got a 5.2 rating at Rotten Tomatoes.
I stumbled across this on this another sleepless night and I'm WHEEZING! I have actual tears in my eyes from laughing! I loved this and have been cackling cuz I was picturing so much 😂😂😂
If I knew real Irish women would travel all the way back to the homeland to kiss the Blarney Stone I'd change my legal name to Blarney Stone 😎
Of course, this must be the reveal at the end of the movie! The handsome Irish guy's middle name turns out to be Blarney and his surname is gaelic for stone - so she did kiss the Blarney stone and got lucky! (No it doesn't make a link of sense but the script was written by an American) 😂
@@MariaVosa Good auld Padrig Séamus Blarney Cloch.
The soundtrack would have to include a trad version of "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk. (Just please don't let Macklemore in on it!) 😆
There’s so much fucking rain!
LOL - Someone has been watching too much Hallmark Channel! Love the snort-worthy performances.
Okay but why would I unironically enjoy this
How is this girls subscriber count not through the roof?
I am LITTERALLY crying here ! BEST interpretation of our Americanladies! You are a MASTERFUL comedy writer, girl! Bless ya, and thank you!
Amazing - This is every romcom! You should pitch this to Hollywood!
"Grass so green it will cure your depression"
Maybe I should go to Ireland
Only been to Dublin once, but this seems like an accurate representation of what I saw there.
This reminds me of a parody video called “Every Irish Film” by (Irish comedians) Foil Arms & Hog…
Both are hilaaaarious!
I WOULD PAY TO SEE THIS FILM
“This rain won’t farm itself” is such a hilarious line lol 😂 😂😂
Tbh, i just came for Craig.
"This rain won't farm itself" I laughed immediately, yes!
🤣
One thing you can always count on from Hollywood: tedious cultural tropes that could only convince a 13 year old girl from Iowa that they had any connection with reality.
This would also convince a lot of very urbane New Yorkers to be honest. They all just want to lay that guy from Outlander.
@@clobberelladoesntreadcomme9920 well there's your issue New Yorkers are generally stupid. If they are from the city that is.
“This rain ain’t gonna farm itself…” lmao
He's like a poor man's irish Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Amazing comedic timing and great jokes, I absolutely loveeeed iiiiiit :D
There are American Romcoms set in Ireland!?!?!? This is literally the first I'm hearing of this. Can anyone give me an example? genuinely curious now, cuz I've literally never heard of this being a thing and now i want to see how bad they really are.
Leap Year( with Amy adams and Matthew Goode) which is what this video is heavily making fun of.
Don’t forget PS I love you starring Hillary Swank and the famous Irish actor Gerard Butler (ahem, Scottish)
I'm gonna have to watch both now. 🤣
"my flight to Ireland only went as far as Devon, now I have to swim the rest of the way" got me
