I agree; the little 'what?' she gave doesn't give the feel of 'Oh god, something else to deal with', or something out of simple curiosity like you would get from your usually apathetic teacher it was more like a genuine 'She did WHAT?'
CLARE DEVLIN IS THAT YOU?? not only is it hilarious that she seems to appear out of nowhere, but the fact that she singles out Clare, the only one of the lot who's trying desperately not to be recognized, makes it even more so. 10/10
@Facundo 1998 Uncle Colm is just a very boring uncle who tells boring stories, but he's so realistic it very funny. The additional joke is that everyone finds him incredibly boring, but somehow Sister Michael actually enjoyed his story
@@nouveaucourteduree9836 there often isn't any actual jokes in his stories, the way he talks is just very like the way some people actually talk, just rambling on and on. Sister Michael is laughing at the bit in the story where the bride is lifted up by the wind and blown away. Most people don't find that funny because they tune out far before he gets to the interesting part of the story
I tell you it's been a mighty search, it has been, tryin' to track down a clip of our Colm here. One of the most difficult searches of me life it's been, and mind you, I once managed to find me car keys after they fell out of me pocket during a swim at the beach. Wrinkled up like a prune I was by the time I found thon keys in the surf. Toyota Camry, '97 I believe it was, absolutely top-notch vehicle. Bought it off a friend of mine, Conner Jackson. Had a face like a slapped arse, he did. Anywho, I only managed to find the keys on account of steppin' on the marlin spike that I kept on the ring. When I felt thon sharp pain shoot up through the roof of me foot, I remember sayin' to meself, says I "Aye, Josh, the lord does indeed giveth with one hand...and taketh away with the other."
@@madabbafan I was born in 1997 and I went to a catholic school in Spain. I have loads of good memories but it's true that the nuns still had power over the moms that were former students lol
@@deanmoncaster I get that you're making a joke but Ollie is in this thing. It's like when I saw Roben Arryn in sex education. It was losing my mind trying to figure out where I had seen him before.
The actor playing Colm - his delivery is perfect for maximum effect; he's really good. And I just noticed, on the bus, Sister Michael is wearing a bolo tie! LOL
"Whats happening?" - "Am I dead" - "is this my wake" - "Am I in hell?" This is simply the funniest moment of derry girls season two. no doubt about it!
The funniest thing is that if they had just been honest about going to a concert and lied about spending the night there sister Michael would’ve left them alone because she probably wouldn’t have cared.
The writing on this show is something else, like every single character is just perfect. I dont think theres a character that I actually dislike......well except maybe that Jenny young one but still! Its just brilliant!
As someone who grew up Catholic and went to Catholic schools run by nuns until I was an adult, Sister Michael is the best and most accurate portrayal of a Catholic nun I've seen in anything
My favorite sister Michael's moment would have to be the one where she says to the moms and the substitute teacher lady that one reason she joined the nuns is free room and board . LoL 🤣 she is her own person most definitely.
"I'm to assume... That was an ill judged attempt at humour..." Sounds like my life. I work with children. Sister Michael is the abso-f*ck-a-doodle-doodle
what about that scene after jenny joyce and her acapella girls sang monday morning or whatever and she just read them for having too much time on their hands? LOLLLLL
And a supergrass was a republican secretly turned informer by Special Branch. Hard words. The absolute lowest of the low in the North. Beyond knee capping country . The comment matches the later bag (bomb) and the Provo balaclava reference. Very dark subtext. Typical Troubles gallows humour. Heard a lot of it when I taught in a special school in Lurgan in the 90s. And also from my cousins in Derry at the time. At one level or another everyone in this show is under stress and the humour is the relief valve. Very, very Irish in its use of imagery, body language and spoken language. We Australians have a fair bit of it as well.
I absolutely loved Derry Girls, but Sister Michael was my favourite character. Brilliant timing and hilarious! Thank you for making me laugh out loud! Whats happening? 😂
Came here specifically for the last clip, I went through the exact same oh god this is hell, while he was going on and on, but by the end it was actually quite funny what he'd said
Sister Michael reading The Exorcist is a mood
And the snort of a laugh she gives while reading it!😂
Apparently it's actually very accurate. The Vatican's chief exorcist says that the film is his favourite movie.
Yeah I love that. And she's laughing while reading it too.
@@trinaq And it keeps getting funnier every time she reads it.
@@tss3393 I see what you did there!
"The small angry penguin woman" I'm dying 🤣
Haha, that sums up Sister Michael in a nutshell!😂🌰🐧
SISTER MICHAEL! 💀
A ahahahahaha I'm dying!
lmaooo the fact that that's Olly from GOT though makes it 10x better in the episode
This line made me laugh so much even just remembering it
"What's happening"? Am I dead"? "Is this my wake"? Am I in hell"? Gotta love Sister Michael's pitch perfect, deadpan deliveries!😁
Caitriona Quigley “You’re not a tongue person, aren’t you? I absolutely hate the tongue people...”
This scene is so funny, seriously brilliant.
Does anyone actually know what the man next to her is saying?
@@GalicianGranddaughter666 He's basically discussing the wedding earlier in the episode, where it was especially windy, and a gush of wind sent the bride into a flowerbed as soon as she got out of the car.
@@trinaq For the wind was fierce!!
The timing of "CLAIRE DEVLIN, Is that you??" really, REALLY kills me 😂
That bit is pretty funny.
Same, kills me every time 😂
Ahahahahahahahha
"I do enjoy a good statue, it has to be said."
The genuine happiness when she says that.
Sister Michael is the perfect example of my favorite religious trope: the long suffering nun/priest/religious official who has been doing their job for far too long and is just...fed up with everyone's bullshit.
😂😂😂😂 ikr..I think she portrayed that too well
And the retirement benefits don't come till death. With each passing hour Sis Michael is waiting for death to come.
And yet she's still damn good at it. Fed up, yes. Given up, no.
I want to be Sister Michael when I grow up :D
Her laughing at The Exorcist at 2:12 is my favorite.
“You will go far in life Jenny, but you’d not be well liked”
LOVE HOW STRAIGHTFORWARD SHE IS
that's what I like about her too. deadpan.
Love sister Michael cańt wait for more series please put Sister Michael in every episode
And usually correct.
She was genuinely worried for the girls when Erin said she touched us
no, I think she was just worried she would have to deal with it lmao
Alex Kosova that would be a lot of paperwork

Both of them are right 🤣
@@alankilen6646 yes she should both parts of it😀.
Other teachers here?
Loved Orla raising her hand when she asked if anyone owned the red suitcase
And James can be seen trying to quiet Orla by putting his hand over her mouth, if you look closely enough!😂
Jesus I had to rewatch that how did you notice
@@trinaq I turned the speed down to 0.25 to see and all I could think about is the fact that it makes sister Michael sound constipated😂😂
TheMuffinMan Its worth keeping an eye on Orla all the time even if she’s in the background, that actress is so good at her character
I didn't see that when I originally watched the episode. Great little bit to slide in there.
I love that Sister Michael was the only one who actually found a friend during the retreat with the protestants.

"When it comes to my brother, it's every man for himself."
Uncle Colm has to be one of my favourites because I have an uncle Sean who is just like him 🤦🏼♂️😂
I read the whole thing in an Irish accent, I am not Irish, hell I am not even a Westerner.
That's brilliant 😂
1:26 "She has no authority over us on the weekend."
Oh, my sweet girl. You don't know Catholic nuns very well, do you?
Lol
Its been 24 years since I left school - a Catholic one where we had nuns as teachers and nuns still have the power to strike fear into my heart.
@@madabbafan I was born in 1997 and I went to a catholic school in Spain. I have loads of good memories but it's true that the nuns still had power over the moms that were former students lol

Was that Olly from Game of Thrones.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Egg and onion sandwich sounds nearly as bad as it probably smells.
What does enough to turn an orange march mean?
3:39 - 4:02 I laughed so hard that I got a stitch here. The actress who plays Sister Michael just has such impeccable comedic timing.
Sister Michael meeting Colm was the moment I didn’t know I needed
The actor playing Colm - his delivery is perfect for maximum effect; he's really good. And I just noticed, on the bus, Sister Michael is wearing a bolo tie! LOL
nhsmissnomer Thats kevin mcaleer he is very well known comic in ireland
"She's coming! The small, angry penguin woman!"
"SISTER MICHAEL!"
"Makes me want to pull my face off." Sister Michael is SAVAGE AF! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There was nowhere near enough Sister Michael in series 2!!
TheHappyShamrock there is nowhere near enough Sister Michael anywhere in life
“She made us think, she made us feel.”
*Rolls eyes* ”Ah...Thank God! That’ll be all I need.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Whats happening?" - "Am I dead" - "is this my wake" - "Am I in hell?" This is simply the funniest moment of derry girls season two. no doubt about it!
3:46 I freaking love this scene. lol And when she's reading the Exorcist and laughing.
3:07 James has his hand on orlas mouth because she raised her hand to owning the suitcase 😂🤣
“Janet.”
“Michael. Sister Michael.”
(I’m in stitches. HAHA. The Jackson siblings.)
Ha. Took me a while to get that))
"thumbnail shows a nun"
"this video contains strong language and adult humour"
XD
“ you'll go far in life Jenny, but won't be well liked." I think sister Michael is the Aunt we all deserve
The funniest thing is that if they had just been honest about going to a concert and lied about spending the night there sister Michael would’ve left them alone because she probably wouldn’t have cared.
“The smell of it is enough to turn an orange March”... brilliant
0:57 this cracks me up Sister Michael "oh thank god that would be all I need"
I just love how her evening wear is a cravat and smoking jacket!
Nuns always have authority. I'm not even Catholic and when a nun tells me to do something, not doing it is not an option.
Oh yes, the 'small angry penguin woman' who taught me all those days ago still reduces me to a quivering wreck 30 years later
I love the soft, genuinely concerned 'what?' of sister michael after erin said the cool teacher touched them
I love her so much. She’s my sarcastic soulmate.
We would get on very well!
petition for her to have her own spinoff show bc the world (and I) REALLY NEED IT
“ it’s called a hangover Claire , you’ll be grand “ 😂😂😂
The writing on this show is something else, like every single character is just perfect. I dont think theres a character that I actually dislike......well except maybe that Jenny young one but still! Its just brilliant!
3:09 Can I just say that I love how she says 'Driver, pull over!'?
And so the driver pulls over.
She's like Severus Snape as a nun, I love it.
As someone who grew up Catholic and went to Catholic schools run by nuns until I was an adult, Sister Michael is the best and most accurate portrayal of a Catholic nun I've seen in anything
My mum's got a friend with family still in Ireland. Says there's heaps of men like Uncle Colm up there.
agenttheater5 boring old men with teenager hair?
@@TellEmB290 basically yeah
Everyone in Ireland has an uncle Colm 😂
I'm one of them even though I have a MBA
Hell I live in New England and I have an Uncle Colm or three.
“SWEET SUFFERING JEHOVAH” must be my absolute favorite.
"No-one's gonna recognise you, Claire."
"Claire Devlin, is that you?" 😂 😂 😂
Yes of course, the nun reading the exorcist and LAUGHING- what a sight!
Tbh, every Sister Michael bit is a best bit.
Janet: "It's a pleasure to meet you"
Sister Michael: "I know."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"It's a pleasure"
"I know"
I strive for this level of self confidence in a first meeting.
Sister Michael is my favourite. I have seen this series so many times but I still crack up seeing this on TH-cam here, amazing well created series.
I want to know what takes Sister Michael to Belfast!
Seriously? You forgot to add the "I came nun for free accommodation" scene?
i love that James had answered after being referred to as one of the girls on the bus.
@3:45 to 4:03 perfectly sums up working in retail
Orla raising her hand when sister Michael ask if anyone owed the suit case is one of the best small detail they’ve threw in
"outta the cyaaaaaarrr"
I love any scene where Sister Michael bursts into a room unexpectedly
The scene with uncle Colm was the best 🤣 also she is the queen of the eye roll 🙄
My favorite sister Michael's moment would have to be the one where she says to the moms and the substitute teacher lady that one reason she joined the nuns is free room and board . LoL 🤣 she is her own person most definitely.

what about that scene after jenny joyce and her acapella girls sang monday morning or whatever and she just read them for having too much time on their hands? LOLLLLL
“The scent of it is enough to turn an Orange March” pmsl missed that the first time
I love how she's reading The Exorcist on the bus and laughing
"I do enjoy a good statue, it has to be said."
Sister Michael reading The Exorcist and laughing at it is my new aesthetic!
2:57 Orla raises her hand 😂
Why is she the best character😂😂😂
I binged watch this entire series in one weekend when I was supposed to be studying.
I absolutely love this show!
The way James says “A project. The history project” 😂😂
People say there’s no future for people like me. But I know I can still become a Sister Michael
Laughing while reading the Exorcist was perfect!
I was hoping for a Colm vs. Sister Michael scene and was definitely not disappointed with how it went! 😂😂😂
**Michelle, Erin, Clare & James panicking not wanting the suitcase to be known as theirs**
“Does anyone own this red suitcase?”
Orla: 🙋🏻♀️
🤣🤣🤣
She’s reading the exorcist and laughing 😂
"What's happening?"
"Am I dead?"
"Is this my wake?"
"Am I in hell?"
Sr Michael is hilarious. What a great show.
The scene with uncle colm is my fave
I cant get enough of sister Michael
I will be taking this class for the rest of the term, which makes me want to pull off my own face 😂
goooood shes a good character!! and the accent just makes it even better!!!
0:52 Sister Michaels shocked face - I take it that 'a grass' is a pretty big insult....
A grass is a snitch.
Grass is a snitch or informer...

I think she’s one of the funniest characters I’ve seen in a long time
I can’t believe that Nicola Coughlan, who plays Clare, is 34 years old. She’s incredible.
Sister Michael should have a spin-off.
they totally forgot this is Northern Ireland during the Troubles and a unclaimed suitcase on the bus equals bomb pretty much
Yes that's the joke
axion that’s why Sister Micheal asked the bus driver to pull over. That’s the point of the scene.
That is the whole point though....:)
"It's called a hangover Claire, you'll be grand"
tbh my fav character in the series
She is my favorite!! Omg!!
"You look like a Provo!" I laughed so hard I had to stop the video.
1:10 i died.
Janet, Michael, Sister Michael teared me apart
I absolutely loved Derry Girls, but Sister Michael was my favourite character. Brilliant timing and hilarious! Thank you for making me laugh out loud! Whats happening? 😂
