    Fake Irish accents is a pet hate we just can't seem to get enough of here in Facts. We turned our attention to Hollywood this time. There were COUNTLESS versions we could have discussed, but these were the most interesting finds we came across. Let the cringing begin!

    I always said that Brad Pitt nailed the "pikey" accent. It's impressive how incoherent he sounds but he gets the traveller mannerisms perfect too. "I'llfightchaforit". Who in Ireland hasn't heard a traveller try to resolve a situation by saying that?

    Amazing that Brad Pitt can do a good Irish accent but can't a southern American accent for shit.

    • @tranurse
      @tranurse 8 років тому +25

      Funny thing is he's from Missouri which is southern.

    • @CS-wn2sz
      @CS-wn2sz 8 років тому +23

      +tranurse I tend to think of Missouri as mid Western state but that's besides the point. I know plenty of people that wouldn't be able to do the accent people associate with their regions if they were paid to, myself included. Beyond that I'm mainly talking about inglorious bastards where his character is supposed to be from Maynardville, Tennessee and his accent was unbearable.

      LOL. Missouri is a midwestern state, are you crazy? It's not southern. The only part of it that is even somewhat Southern is the Ozark mountains, which doesn't have a large population at all.

    • @Garrett1240
      @Garrett1240 8 років тому +66

      You don't get it. Brad Pitt PURPOSELY did a corny, cliche Southern accent in Inglorious Basterds. That's what Tarantino makes all his characters do, over the top accents. Tarantino loves the grandiose of cinema.
      Sorry, but it's one of my pet peeves when people criticize Pitt in Basterds. His accent was no mistake, it just went over a lot of people's heads.

  • @dostagirl9551
    @dostagirl9551 8 років тому +473

    They're right...I had NO idea what Brad Pitt's character in Snatch was saying like 80 percent of the time. I actually thought it was a bad accent until watching this and hearing them say it was spot on.

    • @jabroni8845
      @jabroni8845 8 років тому +6

      its a terrible accent i dont know what they are talking about but he was meant to be a irish traveler and that was just terrible.

    • @EveryTongueShallTell
      @EveryTongueShallTell 8 років тому +56

      Sandy Prater Brad Pitt's traveller accent wasn't supposed to be fully understood. It is because travellers in real life can be hard to understand at times. Brad Pitt was told to purposely make the accent difficult to follow.

    • @marsneedstowels
      @marsneedstowels 8 років тому +106

      I dunno, 6 irish people vs one anonymous person on youtube. I am going to need further confirmation.

    • @EveryTongueShallTell
      @EveryTongueShallTell 8 років тому +5

      marsneedstowels You know they didn't even have a part for Brad Pitt's character because Brad Pitt went to Guy Ritchie and asked him could he be in the movie. So, he then came up with the gypsie character which wasn't in the original script. I seen Guy Ritchie say that in a documentary of the making of the film here.

    • @cazfloss1990

      @r13hd22 9 років тому +9

      +Robbie Thomson The movie made it very clear that he was Irish, they call him an old Mick a bunch of times and the character is based off of FBI agent Marty LaHart that worked with Eliot Ness and was even part of the team that took down John Dillinger. He was Irish American.

    • @derekhand6480
      @derekhand6480 9 років тому +5

      tyrgoossens No, not anymore, but back in the 20s many "Irish-Americans" were still 1st or 2nd generation, and grew up in Irish neighborhoods, so an accent would still be rather common.

    • @r13hd22
      @r13hd22 9 років тому +9

      tyrgoossens The Boston accent is what it is due to all the Irish that lived there. Much like Chicagoians have that accent due to the German/Italian mix that blended together. New Jersey, due to a heavy population of Italians and Jews.

    Irish accents are wicked hard for Americans to imitate, but a lot of filmmakers don't seem to care about authenticity. Julia Roberts in "Mary Reilly" is actively painful, and I say that as an American. My grandparents immigrated from Ireland in the 60's, and listening to them skewer bad Irish accents in movies is hilarious.

    I'm a full on Brit but my Mom was born and raised in the Rep. Of Ireland. Not only that but she was a full blown Gypsey / Traveller. She was homeless many times, lived in caravans up and down the country, got into pub brawls, watched bare knuckle boxing and would have gone on like that if she hadn't met my father who was visiting Ireland and was looking to buy a caravan. What transpired was very similar to what happens in Snatch - he got ripped off. For this reason they show me the movie Snatch all the time, but the funny thing is my Dad has a thick, posh British accent and my Mom doesn't just have an Irish accent but an extremely strong Traveller accent (Like Brad Pitt's). It's hilarious when people see me talking to her in public 'Eyyy yah dag ya whah hahh suwushuwhsu suyauyew' 'Oh mum, you're late for your dentist appointment?' lmao.

    That's the beauty of Sean Connery. He doesn't actually try to do other accents, he just speaks with his Scottish accent. He could an "Irish" cop from Chicago, a "Latvian" submarine captain in the Soviet Navy, or an MI6 agent (who was originally supposed to be English), and he's just himself. I respect that.

    The fact that you caught Cruise's line; "I've done well!" was interesting, since I've never been able to figure out what he was saying there. I've rewound and listened many times, to no avail. He must've been halfway right, as you've just translated the line for me, so THANKS!

      @Garrett1240 8 років тому +14

      I'm a Southerner and you're absolutely correct. I, and most white people I know from here can trace their ancestry to County Antrim. In Appalachia, they use the word 'poke' for bag, or sack. This comes from the Gaelic word 'poca' meaning the exact same thing. Fun fact.

    • @TheEmuofEnnui
      @TheEmuofEnnui 8 років тому +6

      First of all, it's Irish not 'Gaelic'. The Irish language in Irish is Gaelige if you want to say that.
      Secondly, poca means pocket not sack.
      But I admire your enthusiasm all the same.

    • @Garrett1240
      @Garrett1240 8 років тому +6

      imaspastichawk en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poca
      The Scots-Irish who came to Appalachia did not speak Irish, they spoke Scottish Gaelic. And according to this link, 'poca' means bag, sack or satchel, not pocket.

    • @charliegrant2180
      @charliegrant2180 8 років тому +7

      As a fluent Irish speaker and someone who attends an all Irish-speaking school (Gaeilscoil) for just over 13 years now, póca means pocket as Gaeilge.

    Fun fact: Brad Pitt couldn't do any English accent but he wanted to be in Snatch really badly, so the gypsy accent was invented out of thin air. It was actually a joke. People had widely criticized the accents in GR's move Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels, so they decided to create an accent that nobody could understand, including the other characters. If you try to watch the movie with subtitles, it's blank any time he's talking. So... the one that was supposed to be intentionally bad and ridiculous was the best haha

    As an American, the reason why a "normal" Irish accent is so hard is because it's soooooo subtle in its pronounced differences. If you over pronounce at all you sound like a leprechaun, or Scottish or Cockney, or an idiot, or magically, all at once. And if you underpronounce, you just sound like an American with occasional speech impediments.
