I went to Ireland back in the 90's and while waiting for the bus to leave the driver and I started talking and I told him I lived in Oregon. He asked me if I lived in one of those "free love communes". Of Course! Everyone in Oregon does! I also ended up befriending a local in Dublin and I spent the night at his house the night before my plane back home. His mother and I ended up getting drunk and listening to Johnny Cash records. I'm from Tennessee (home to Nashville/country music mecca) and once babysat for Johnny and June. His mom was so excited she called her fried over to meet me. We all sang along to Johnny Cash half the night and I can tell you it was a very uncomfortable plane ride home. What a great experience though!
So do Irish people hate Americans? I mean, now I kinda get it bc there's no way to tell who did and did not vote for f'ing Trump, but besides that it just seems that the Irish have a natural recoil from a person coming from America.
@@pleaseshutup-rd9ir The joke is that it's what Americans THINK will happen. Being some small percentage Irish is not an accomplishment when you're in a country full of Irish people.
Funny thing is, I visited Shannon 3x. First time I went, I visited a local pub and made friends with the locals. They treated me exceptionally well. Upon my second and third visit, they remembered me and treated me like I was actually Irish (I'm not) but I gotta say, of all the places I visited in the world, those people were the most authentic, kind, and just down to earth I've encountered.
Maybe so, but there are villages and towns all over America with dead Irish from the 1700s onward. Americans of Irish ancestors happens to be a real thing.
@@magamaga1827 99.99% of Americans are of non-American origin. Doesn't mean we have roll out the red carpet when you fancy claiming one of ours. The entitlement of some... but with your @ it's not exactly a huge surprise
This is easily funnier than 3/4s of the sketches that aired Saturday night - Just glad we now get to see those cut for time now. I wonder what gems from the 80s and 90s might exist that have never been appreciated.
I kid you not, when I went with a couple of friends (we're all about 25 at the time) we met an older gent named Connor on a train from Dublin to Galloway. He announced outloud on the train to welcome the Americans, then put on Shannon & Shannons Galloway girl and did a jig. This was about 6 years ago. After we got off the train he led us to the Spanish Arches. The youthful Irish lookedd mortified, but the country as a whole was exceptionally welcoming.
reminds me of this american tourist a while back on twitter going on a long rant about when he saved up to go to poland, he didn't feel welcome. he really expected a big party/people to stop him & talk about history lol. no one gives af. you're american. sorry not sorry. deal with it.
You are right, but it's just that "American" in America always means "Anglo-American," so if you're from any other group, you feel less than "all-American" and then you try, sadly, to identify with the group of your ethnicity. I think we need to fix this in America by referring to Anglo-Americans as that, rather than just Americans, so it becomes clear that they are one ethnic group among many, and they are no more American than the rest of us.
I can proudly say, as an American with 70% Irish heritage, when my wife and I spent two weeks in Ireland last year I didn't bring it up one time while in country.
@ I’d say your opinion is not too far fetched! The United States are a relatively new nation in relation to other ones in the world and sometimes is their culture. Sometimes it seems like they take too much pride in being long time relatives of ethnicities that show cultures that have virtually almost nothing to do with the modern American one 🫠
As an American who is a quarter Irish and went to Ireland for the first time on my Honeymoon, I find this hilarious. Every tourist shop in Ireland has last name swag. Americans can be so embarrassing sometimes.
One of my uncles tracked down a distant relative in the middle of nowhere in County Leitrim a few years ago. He knocked on the guy's door said they were cousins and blah blah and the guy just pointed at my uncle's rental car and said "You wanna give me a ride into town, cousin?" The guy didn't say a single word on the trip over and kind of mockingly waved back at my uncle as he was getting out.
One memory of American tourists that stands out to me is when I worked at a drive-thru and had some pull-up. I took their order and one girl asked "Do you have any raaaaanch?" No. We did not. 🙃
Oh godddd !! I can only imagine. All the little white girls in my class in elementary school would always claim to be “part Cherokee” it was ALWAYS Cherokee- they never knew of any other tribes. Even as a kid I knew they were full of it 🤣
As an American studying in Ireland bc your grad schools are less expensive there, my pub experience was getting corrected for calling crisps chips and learning that the bartender used to work near my old city in the states. So, not that different from this skit.
Thanks. Nice to see a cut for time piece so late in the week. I wish this had gotten on. Such a fun performance from Paul Mescal and I like how they turn around the usual Irish jokes on the show.
Bizarrely when I visited Los Gatos from here in Scotland a waiter asked after where we were visiting from. When he found out he said, "Hey, that's cool. I'm Scottish too." His surname was similar to Wachowski.
lol when I was young I was flying into San Francisco and met an Irish family at the airport . In conversation I told them my great grandparents were from county Roscommon and they could not have cared less
Absolutely hawking over the Guinness pour during this but great skit 😆 and to any Irish Americans you're more than welcome in the country we just love taking the piss (joking and insulting) anyone so take it as a compliment!
I feel like this sketch should be required viewing for every Irish-American tourist arriving at an irish airport
"Irish - American" 😉
Lmaooo. They’re just Americans to everyone else. These people haven’t been Irish for centuries.
Perhaps. But you're now on your own with your war with Russia. Enjoy.
#AerLingus
This probably applies to a lot of nationalities. Such a funny sketch.
As someone who lives in Ireland and deals with American tourists. This is 100% accurate.
so exhausting
As an American who doesn’t travel much, I believe you
Nobody cares about anyone else's heritage, including yours. Did you even watch the sketch? Lol
Really? 100% accurate? Because this was hilarious! 😄
@@ManyfiresWoman We don't really care about where your grandparents were born
The writers poured all their frustrations in this sketch and I love that for them
😂 it's history
SNL has Irish writers?
@@GTA5Player1 Hard to say, but it is in New York City and people move there from everywhere. They could also be Irish American making fun of themselves or other Irish Americans they know.
@@SunyiSideUpI would say that is more likely than them being from Ireland.
You think the writers on SNL are from Ireland?
How the hell was this skit cut?!?! This is one of the funniest sketches I’ve seen in years!!
An offended "irish" american exec probably
Agreed Ihave seen other ones from that night and this is by far the best
Gladiator 2 the Musical??? Obviously to push the movie. 🤮

As a Scottish person, this is now how i will react to this situation in future
not sure whether i'd prefer this deeply sarcastic welcome or to be called a fuckin space slice
American here- I studied in Scotland for a year and a half and now live in England. I apologize on behalf of all of us😂😂
@@dietotaku a fucking space slice is a compliment in scots
I love when they post cut for time sketches.
And ironically those are usually the best sketches.
Oh wow this was cut for time?! I haven’t watched the ep yet but this one is really really good!
@@MagnoliaBelle369 And feature Kyle Mooney

They have to do a sequel with What Actually Happens When Americans Visit Ireland 😁😁
Paul really needs to come
back for another one! Guy just naturally fits into SNL.
I had no idea who he was, but he's funny and that's good enough for me.
There's a 200 year old graveyard in my village - I've had tourists knock asking if I know about their ancestors buried there! Bless! 😂
Maybe so, but there are villages and towns all over America with dead Irish from the 1700s onward. Americans of Irish ancestors happens to be a real thing.

Definitely not better than the Gladiator II Musical, but it should have made the show easily.
Because it would offend alot of people
@@cbyodinteresting! Could you tell why this would offend people (I'm really interested in knowing why)?
Who Americans? 😂 That's what SNL is for 🥰@@cbyod
It doesn't matter, the sketches get way more views on youtube than they do live.
I feel Paul's frustration pouring onto the sketch, and making us all much happier because of it 😂
The way Molly's accent drifts into Scottish cracks me up!
Aye her accent was more scottish than the actor who is meant to be scottish - hilarious
This should not have been cut for time. One of the best skits this season.
How was this cut for time? It's so good!
Love the “gift of the gab”
Now we just need U2 and Niall Horan to come crashing in! 🇮🇪☘🍻
You just wrote the follow up to this sketch ✍🏼 and wouldn’t it be great if they turned it into a short film segment? 😂
...or anyone a'tall you could actually do an Irish accent 😂
It also should have had Billy Connolly as the scottish guy.
And WESTLIFE！！！

I think a few of the bar patrons are 1/16 Scottish judging by the accents.
With a touch of Jamaican thrown in 🤣
There’s nothing like a random cut for time sketch to start off your day 😊
Boom! Cringe king with the instant cringey banger
This sketch is too funny…I just love Chloe’s Irish impression 😂😂

Great. Europeans don't care about heritage.

Oh god I’m dying laughing. My wife wants to go for this reason. My eyes are watering from laughing so hard!!!!
As someone who was born in England, Lives in England and has no Irish ancestry, I mainly just go over to Ireland and keep apologising...
Sad
😂😂
Don’t worry. At least you are one of only a few that visit us from England and we are glad you make the effort!
And so you should 😂😂😂
Cut for time? I actually laughed out loud, unlike all the other sketches I've seen in the last few months.
"I don't know why my ancestors left" 😂😂😂
Everything was going so well!
In 1860 too
It’s the same with Italian Americans imo 😂😂 Loved the sketch!
It’s almost as though Americans are searching for identity!

the jump out the window was great.
Hello from Bucharest, Romania - a huge underrated city in Europe:)
A similar thing happened to me when I went to visit Ireland…such a beautiful country and such friendly people.
I love the "slanch" at the end, would have been hilarious to end with a "reality" version where everyone's just annoyed at him
My great great grandparents left Ireland in 1850, that was practically yesterday too!😂
Mmm wonder what happened that caused that
Best sketch in years 😂 can’t believe it was cut for time with the others they left in
WHEN THE SOUND EFFECT PLAYED BEFORE THE GLASS SHATTERED 😭😭😭
It was funny that the sound effect for the glass Paul broke happened before he even broke the glass.
I’m part Irish & this is too true 🥲
Just for a second at the very end, there was a split second where “his wife” smiled and reminded me of Gilda Radner. 😊
I totally see that😊
I went back - you are Absolutely right!! Lost her to the same disease that got my mom. Mom and the whole family loved Gilda
when dude dived out of the window tho.....🤣
Next do Italian Americans
AKA sepporonis.
Wow, I'm half Irish. Can't wait to see my reception
Half? Top or bottom half?
@gerardodwyer5908 the left half, it's all freckled

One of the best skits written 🤣
I feel like they bought way too much fake film glass this episode and wrote their sketches around them, and I love it

They don't react the same way 😅
Now do Italian-Americans
why was this cut for time??????? this was the best one of the night !!!
