[KatieinaLull]

:42 on is where it gets rull good

[homersimpsimp]

[joyspreadingtiresme]

twinkly eyed fuckers <3

[EoghanC10]

This guy makes ya proud to be Irish. :)

[CianDub]

hehe

[clik80clak]

Similar to Billy Connelly in a lot of ways

[DonnaaMaguiree2010]

@randomsamno9 I think your comment is a little bit unfair. I'm fully Irish and proud and although there are some people who hold grudges far longer then they should, I don't think it's fair to say that all of us can't get over the past. Most of us want to just get on with our lives.

I have plenty of English friends and even relations who have grown up in England, so it's wrong saying that we despise you! Maybe if some people were'nt as stuck up their own arses, arguements could be let go of..

[NAFIANNA10]

thumbs up if you laughed at the hohohoh bit at the end



[ConnemaraLover100]

how did hot potato by the wiggles come up in the suggestions? o_0

[SatinReign]

Dylan Moran is this generation's Dave Allen

[Urchino1337]

Hmmm... Interesting observation :o Im English, and at College ATM, and since watching this video i have only just realised that when one of my teachers is talking to me (Who happens to be French) i talk back to him in a French accent (Sort of)...

PS: Irish people are epic!!!

[Tracymmo]

@Urchino1337 Some people do it unconsciously with various accents. An American friend would do that when his Ukrainian immigrant dad would argue with him, making his dad even angrier!

[randomsamno9]

@Urchino1337 Its strange how pretty much every English person I know loves Irish people but the Irish despise us... can't win 'em all I guess, some people just can't let go of the past.

[leontrotsky911]

@randomsamno9 thats not true....im from deep sout of ireland in cork and i have aload of english friends living here.thats just the internet people ya know?

[MrCassavius]

@randomsamno9 hehe, its the same impression I get everytime I meet an irish person, they absolutely loathe the english, or rather they hate "englishness", or what they perceive to be a certain kind of english person, and to be honest, no one likes that kind of englishmen. Thats not to say they arent many bigoted anti-english irish persons, but in my experience they hate the arrogant stuckup archetype of the englander, more than every one of english people

[csm722]

us Irishmen, its all funny till we say 'we are the irish republican army.' Then its not funny anymore.

[XjayjayroxyourworldX]

Goowan Dylan !!!!!!! Eire heads FTW !!!

[Gettinghitonattheban]

I can't wait to see "yeah yeah"! I hope it's as brilliant as everything else he does.

[christoir246]

the younger irish gerneration are now talking in american accents because theyr growing up watching american tv.

[billdoesjudo]

"... which is only half true!"

[currantbun2166]

A very happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! xx

[musicslittlesister]

i'm part irish, part scottish, part welsh and mostly english. even though i was born in england i still say stuff in an irish or scottish accent when i'm angry and when i'm incredibly confused i go very welsh. many people are confused by this.....especially me.

[csm722]

@musicslittlesister

you have 4 parents or something?

[musicslittlesister]

@csm722 no, ones the scottish-irish one and ones the english-welsh one.

[csm722]

@musicslittlesister

I think youre just being stupid. Youre mostly english.....shut up.

[musicslittlesister]

@musicslittlesister why? have i just confused you or something? and plus i'm about equal for all of them so why do you care?

[ivasenko48]

@csm722 I think what they are implying is rather obvious.

[csm722]

@ivasenko48

fucking yank

[ivasenko48]

@csm722 I am not from New York, you drunk Irishman.

[csm722]

@ivasenko48

no. Youre just trying to be every nationality under the sun. weirdo.

[ivasenko48]

@csm722 So being Ukrainian is the same as being every nationality under the sun now, is it?

[csm722]

@ivasenko48

I meant the person that left this comment. Pick where youre from and stick with it.

[ivasenko48]

@csm722 Really? Despite the fact that my username was at the beginning of that comment and it is written in the second person?

[asho320]

i hate my irish accent sooooooooooooo much nobody knows where im from its neutral im born in dub live in limerick an have no accent watsoever weird

[DZZeborro]

12 people had their ladders stolen.

[meralodem]

I am in love with this man and I love his hair :))

[loravine]

He is a twinkly eyed fucker isn't he? XD

*love*

[crunchyspringroll]

...Which is only half true!

[TheStupidprik]

ordered a coke in northampton he kept saying 'cork, u want a cork?' twat

[bluesboy25000]

As twinkly-eyed fuckers with a pig under their arm-I almost soiled myself

[Ballyhook]

@digitalghost94 yeah bet it does. His comical druken look just adds to his humour.his dig at himself and us irish really cracks me up. Lol. He seems to turn it around at thoes having a laugh too. BRILLANT

[krimzonvillain]

"I'll paint your house now but watch out I might steal the ladder, ho ho!"

[Ballyhook]

Haha hes never drunk on stage. Its part of his comedy act. . Seems not everyone knows this

[DigitalGhost94]

@Ballyhook he's got wine and smokes heavily it must have an effect on him at least for his nerves.

[dotchoo]

and he's not reinforcing the stereotype? i haven't seen any other stand-up comedian go on stage drunk. i'm not saying that it's such a bad thing or that he's not brilliant, but he is twinkly-eyed, too.

[Gettinghitonattheban]

@dotchoo

Actually, he's not that drunk. It's his character. He does the drunken Irish cynic sort of thing. It's a sort of dark humor.

[dotchoo]

@Gettinghitonattheban rrright, what about the shaky hands? cmoon. i mean, i agree, sometimes you can see that he's trying to seem drunker than he is and sometimes he magically starts talking normally again, but he's got to be a bit drunk too, what does he go backstage and say, quick, more red make-up on my nose!

[Gettinghitonattheban]

@dotchoo

Wow, did not notice that. I suppose you're right.

[UnbreakableWestlife]

I love his eyes <3

[adamski4735]

''the twinkly eyed fucker who will step around the world and with a pig under your arm coming to clean your house but watch out i might i might steal your ladder haha!''

[Rachiejane1]

Well my favourite accent ever is Geordie so I'll just be different then! But Irish is a nice accent too & I also like Welsh for some reason. Dylan Moran is HILARIOUS with Bill Bailey in Black Books - could watch that over and over and still find it funny

[EskimoesOnIce]

Fuck the ladder, I'll steal your wife.

[Cherinbrook]

im english and yeah when i meet an austrailian it takes everything in me NOT to impersonate them! its a strange thing to desire...

[irishchrisc]

@Cherinbrook That's because the Aussie would twat you one!

[MrJohnnyexcellent]

the Irish are cool, he s a good example, even with a pig under his arm

[AphoticCosmos]

Oh Ireland . . . <3

It's true though, we English do tend to accidentally impersonate everyone (and get it wrong at the same time). I've got an American mate - sometimes I slip into a reeeeeally bad Mid-west accent when she's talking, and then it goes downhill from there.

[DimebagBorgir]

@AphoticCosmos It'd because accents are fun ey?

[mgo26]

He's absolutely right. I'm Australian and when I lived there English friends/workmates just had to impersonate me when I spoke to them. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to mimic an Australian accent, but it happened all the time!

[WIKKAM47]

0:46 okay kinda true

[wiceltgirl]

Does he vaguely remind anyone else of Robin Williams? (in the best possible way...both are simply brilliant)....

[MrMintox]

Oh I love this guy. He's classic XD

[TheGreenerItGets]

Hahaha definitely no fruit.

[grobo11]

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CASTLEKNOCK.

[Rubaducky2]

nah boys....limerick 4 life, cuz. Nytin but...CORKBOY!!!!

[quiltykeith11]

@sephoir, now feckin way!! Donegal by a mile!

[latchie]

@quiltykeith11, i was born there, and i have a, well my gran has a house there near the sligo boarder, but i lived in tyrone 95% of my life, then belfast for a bit, now i live in bloody cardiff, try that accent, corks the worst i think

[lizzielonglegs]

god i am in love with this man :) Well I like anyone with an irish accent. Black's Books is my favourite programme and this man is hillarious. his thing about the ladder reminded me of my geography teacher :P

[quiltykeith11]

Im from clare, i have no accent!! :p

Dylam Moran though, some man! gas out

[0littlemissprincess0]

@quiltykeith11 Haha culshie!!! You have a complete bogger accent :P ..... I'm from Cork though so I'd pick yours over mine any day :P

[quiltykeith11]

cork!!! BOY!!! :P not as bad as the dub accent though! good god!!! :P

[sephoir]

@quiltykeith11 The Dublin accent is the best accent ; )

[zeroireland]

Yeah it is, cork is shite

[RuailleBuailleIRL]

Donegal was voted t have the sexiest accent in ireland.... even though we have at least 12 very different ones.

[frenchiiekiki]

@RuailleBuailleIRL.........Was Donegal the only county to take part in this little survey?? ;-)

[RuailleBuailleIRL]

na I think there were around 32-ish...

[Kaaaaaattiiee]

hahahaha it's sooooo true!! XD

''i'l paint your house now but watch out - i might steal the ladder!!'' :L

[Danielcunningham]

Lmao

[WIzzFIzzSM]

lolz...

its funny for me cause im like a quarter Irish and my last names Moran aswell XD :P

[squidcreek]

he means as in English stereotype mainly.

American, and Australian stereotype is almost completely drink based or convict/drink based in Australia. Ned Kelly etc.

Let's face it, if you're Irish livin in England (the country that conquered us) you would respect your boss and stuff but secretly u might want to rob his ladder subconsciously for a generation or so

[squidcreek]

i.e. 'stereotype' as in what a typical layperson would think, or the average opinion of everyone or whatever.

Stereotype is born out of nationalism (the need to label ourselves according to some brainwashing parameter)

Nationalism is hard to shake off and actually, if you spend a lot of time in a really narrow minded country (dystopia), it can grow back even worse.

[believehopeandlove]

In my country, we don't have nationalism. But we have stereotypes.

[kollijolbein]

Dutch people don't have nationalism? I'm not trying to disprove what you said, I'm just curious.

[believehopeandlove]

Well, its not completely true. But the only time we feel like patriots is when we're watching the dutch footballteam during the world championchip.

If you do not want to move to another country, like the Dutch weather or don't have anything nasty to say about the Dutch culture, you're not Dutch.

[x50ftQueenie]

Hahaha brilliant. :P

[okee9]

For the sexiest irish accent go into Brown Thomas in Cork and chat to the girls in the perfume department, they have a lovely soft cork accent,

[orangesfromlondon]

I will go in there today then. lol

[frederickbabyyeah]

Its so much fun being bristolian in that sense. there is video online from america, some show where skaters fuck up and injure themselves, and they subtitled the clip from bristol. cider swilling tractor driving pregnant teenager and proud :D

(not really lol. but it is the cliche'...and iv met quite a few people who fit the niche)

[DrMcAdoo419]

is this the dvd "Like totaly Dylan Moran"?

[iWantAffliction]

Cork gets it the worst from anywhere in ireland!! we're all thought of as these feckers wearing tracksuits with the most stupid accent!! look at a video its like "tommy tiernan on cork accents".. its so untrue but still really funny :) im from cork and people never believe me that im even from ireland tho. wich im kinda happy about :)

[0littlemissprincess0]

LMAO Yea but come on have you walked around town lately.....You seem to belong to either the knackers or the emo's!!

Our accent gets an awful doin cos of Knocka I'm from Kinsale and I went out in galway recently and NO-ONE would believe me and my sis were from Cork...We kept getting asked "No, seriously where are ye from?" or my favourite was the quizzical look followed by "But we can understand you...."

I think Kerry and a strong Tipp accent are nearly harder to understand :P

[tretsy]

But i might steal your ladder Hawhawhaw!

That little bob he does when he finishes that sentence is FUNNY!

[reannamator]

I'm from the American midwest. My British fiance impersonates me all the time. This is hilariously true.

[trikkid]

The Southern Irish accent is my favouritest accent in the whole English[ish] speaking world.

Ironically, that awful, nasal whine in the North makes my ears and even teeth bleed!

[DCDUO]

Lol thats just our version of the posh/yokel tone tbh, a genuine northern accent can sometimes be okay. Emhpesis on "sometimes".

[Alembic25]

@trikkid That's true you know. My teeth itch.

[smexipenguin]

@trikkid The Belfast and Derry accents are really horrible but a lot of people have Posh accents up here and it isn't so bad, it sounds much more like the southern accent actually.

[62345005]

@smexipenguin I really like the Belfast accent. I live with a guy from Belfast and I could listen to him all day.

[irishchrisc]

@trikkid I'd have to disagree with you there. I am a expat of the North of Ireland.  I have many English expat friends. Where I live now, the locals find my accent more charming and interesting, than the multiple English accent they hear. You can't generalize a accent from one person,. Many people talk through their nose, may people mumble, doesn't matter where you are from. I, for one do not sound nasal.. The Northern accent is a mix between Irish and Scottish, so you should dislike Scotch.

[lilsean123]

@trikkid which southern accent? moran is from meath so to say he has a southern irish accent is wrong

[emmetor]

@lilsean123 Obviously, he means that Dylan Moran is from the uh.. the middle of the "republic of Ireland", also known as "the south", rather than being from the true south of the country.

So it's not "wrong"! For a relaxed, creative emotional country, we do demand an UNFAIR level of accuracy in terminology.

Like "Eire" - English people call it that to charm us. The charm works! BUT WE won't use it though cos grandad said it sounded like we're a freestate and not a republic. Its 2010!!

[gerip4]

@emmetor

went into a lot of detail there!

[emmetor]

@gerip4 Thanks gerip. I've thought long and hard about how to reply to this. And... I ecided not to bother really replying, but I do agree with you, absolutely...

Oh RIGHT... I was studying for an exam!! Aha.. that's why YouTube is littered with my comments - work avoidant, dontcha know.

[23SHEVEK]

@trikkid Thats lovely, but Dylan Moran is from Navan in the Midlands.

[CatorsCinema]

@trikkid

That's interesting .. where are you from ? :)

[xCraiig]

@trikkid Dublin can give any county up the north a run for their money, for the worst accent! lol

[wikinerd]

"WHICH IS ONLY *HALF* TRUE."

[Ankeshed]

Well it's your own damn faults for having such lovely accents! Try being a Lancastrian - no one ever wants to impersonate me because I sound like I should be shovelling muck, clothed in a sack. You should try it; it's the verbal equivalent of scratching your genitalia. :S

[EmmetMcNamara]

its called comedy man..and i belive as irish people we can have abit of a laugh at the English..there was that whole 800years that ye raped and piliged our people...ja want another drink den,in dat english voice that sugggests they are going to die at any moment

[budman159]

Twinkly eyed fuckers with a pig under their arm!

[n00bmeister065]

I do have to agree with Dylan here, that is how we are still portrayed lol

[articraider]

If I had to choose an accent it would be Irish, The south Dublin is considerd rich and it,s said that they speak the finest English there is.The rural accents in Ireland are allso beautifull, as is the northern Irish accents.

[danamba7]

It's all about the geordie accent mate ;)

[Foloman1]

The Northern Irish accent is very harsh on the ear I'm afraid. I blame those Scot's who colonised that part of Ireland!

[culchie1982]

Depends which part of Northern Ireland you're talking about - there's about 6 different regional accents at least within the North. I agree, the Belfast accent is quite harsh however large parts of rural Southern Ireland (especially Munster)

have an accent that makes it really difficult to determine what they're saying!

[0littlemissprincess0]

LMAO We're not that bad..........*hangs head in shame*

[brainwasher9876]

it's only half true...we love you :)

[dylansweeney2]

yeah we don't paint

[rajkumari529]

Love this man. <3

[Alroight]

i think you two need to sit back and enjoy classic comedic genius rather than debating nationalistic similarities and differences............fuck it ill join in! im english and i can say without any reservation that we are a bunch or biggotted, proud, overconfident and jumped up bastards! (as are the irish and any other nation in the world! we all have our faults)

[evilcarnies]

We should all just kick back, roll a few joints, smoke a few bowls, and be at peace. lol

[christchurcher]

i agree with the gist but really joints are inefficient. vaporiser is ftw.

[evilcarnies]

Good thing I just bought one 2 weeks ago =P completely LOVE it

[celticlofts]

I did just that tonight and with a new bowl lol..

[258mickey]

@Alroight well said 5 stars lol

[Thewonkandfriends]

I actually know old Dylan, and he is as much of a miserable bastard as he seems.

[elh666]

I can believe that xD

[steveraff01]

It was a joke dude relax ^^

[ukiitm]

Get a room, you two!

[Scoob505]

well thanks but I think there is plent'y. I prefer English peopl to a lot of others despite our troubled and bloodsoaked history....woah that sounded deep!

[Scoob505]

I was joking mate. But some of my English friends are quite bigotted. They don't impersonate they just insult irish people in general.

[h0bbitatheart]

The first time I watched this show I had to go back over the last bit about ten times because as soon as he said "twinkly-eyed fuckers with a pig under their arm" I lost it completely and couldn't hear the rest of the joke over my hysterical laughter. How I adore this man!

Though, when he says "which is only half true" some weird little part inside of me wants to know. . . which half exactly, my dear Moran?

[EmmetMcNamara]

irish people r twinkly eyed my friend

[StukaStukaStuka]

That's just the diabetes..

[Eyewash03]

The steal the ladder bit.

[BenjKris]

haha, so true

[Scoob505]

I never get impersonated by my english friends, they just put me down. Then I rub the fact that I am doing better than them in their faces.

[BenjKris]

oh.

[Cranaldo22]

I love this so much! =)

Thanks for posting... X

[yourfaceandmum]

I just saw him live! He was hilarious! Someone went "Do you miss Ireland?" and he was like "No, I don't, it's just a lump of rock with people on it, you can get that anywhere."

And he threw chocolate out at the end.

[rajkumari529]

Lol. This one cracks me up every time.

[tkhushrenada]

he reminds me of the late great Dudley Moore in this clip

[anorak103]

His "do you want another drink" English voice and wobbly expression is definitely Dudley-esque!

[lordloof]

my fave bit is the laugh and funny step he does at the end, so funny. i love dylan, hes a comic genius <3

[Amz2e]

Love his laugh at the end

[cerunkus]

Ho ho ho

[andiejanefisher]

twinkly-eyed fuckers with a pig under their arm. lmao

[spunkygirl99]

bahahaha. Love, love, love that twinkly-eyed fucker with a pig under his arm. tee hee.

[lyndzj]

ooo i have that dvd lol

[Orygyn]

"only half true"

I think I speak for all of us when I ask, which half?

[mattydeboe]

thats the joke you dope, coz if its only half true either way your going to lose....either hes going to take your ladder or not paint your house...

[Orygyn]

yeh i figured just thought it would be funny if i put it in there

[misy49]

it is, don't worry

[Weirfan69]

Orygyn, I was wondering the same exact thing.

[Orygyn]

lol yeh

[taylor222]

SO sexy.

[yourfaceandmum]

lmao what he's saying is so true people never take irish people seriously they see them as leprichauns. My mum gets that shit all the time.

[ladygisborne20]

hahaha "i'll paint your house but watch out cos i might steal the ladder hohohoho!"

well funny!

[BigProof4eva]

Lol, it is annoying when people do that. I'm Irish, and I live in England, and that happens to me too. Or sometimes someone will come up to me and ask me to speak, just randomly come up coz their bored and want to hear an Irish accent.

[Brainman94]

What do they say "Hey - can you speak for us now?"

[BigProof4eva]

Yeah, seriously, someone will just come up and say "will you talk Irish"

[goykur]

i hate limeys
