Can we get a segment where Connor speaks Welsh, Garnt speaks Thai, and Joey speaks Japanese and no one understands each other but at least we're entertained.
I was the 70th like, but I took it back. You're welcome.
Depends on the level of Japanese, Joey would probably need to use some very archaic and formal Japanese, like Hirohito level of "he is definitely speaking Japanese but this isn't the vernacular of this century". Otherwise Connor and Garnt would probably be able to understand him well enough to break the magic.
YESS
Honestly if Connor just spoke in a Welsh accent chances are Joey wouldn't be able to tell what he was saying, let alone if he spoke the language 😂
Connor and Garnt can understand some Japanese so Joey is gonna have to speak in English but not just any English, Australian English with a full blown Australian accent. No one would be able to understand that.
I want an episode where Connor teaches us all welsh
They could do an episode about languages, Joey speaks japanese, Garnt speaks Thai I'm sure and Connor speaks welsh
_THIS._
I've been wanting this kind of video ever since I found out Connor is Welsh.
@@nisnast
And speaking about the term “Thai”, we don't forget as well about Garnt talking about Thai capital's *FULL* name.

I may be wrong but I remember that in Australia there is a mountain called Disappointment Mountain, so there's that
There's also lake disappointment
I think it's the other way around; Mount Disappointment.
I imagine Mount disappointment is just a small hill and Lake disappointment is a puddle
is it disappointing?
There was an autistic kid who got lost on Mount Disappointment and the police had to play Thomas the Tank engine music to try to lure him out
Proof: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=amp.abc.net.au/article/12335618&ved=2ahUKEwizkJjBm-jrAhVbzDgGHdMmDlYQFjALegQIDhAC&usg=AOvVaw0A_557j3yHu8Blwc07CwSj&cf=1
It’s funny because Welsh is like Japanese where it’s a literal meaning. So a town will be like, “the place near the large cherry tree” or something which is why they are so long
Eh, using LlanfairPG as an example is bad. Iirc it was a publicity stunt to make it really long so they named it after random areas in the place.
Most places do follow this rule. For example, "Llan" if it's in a place name it means church. so a place with Llan in it's name is named after the church. LlanfairPG follows the rule. There's also "Aber" which if it's in a place name it means "mouth of" so Abertawe means "mouth of the river Tawe" if you translate it, but in English the place is known as Swansea which has no connection as far as I can see. There's a few more but I can't remember them.
Plenty of places have names in old language that describe where they are or some prominent feature of them.
Being Welsh I’m annoyed when people ask me to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and to translate it to English,
"St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave".
ireland has that too
Well German has it too
I actually live in Llanfairpwll and as Connor said there's nothing there apart from the James Pringles shop that attracts busloads of tourists all year round. Going back to unsuitable place names - there's a small village in Germany called Wank.
Don’t forget the town of Fucking in Germany
There's a place called Shitterton in my county :)
@Agis I think that they changed it to Fudging
I live close to somewhere named "Emo"
There's a Dead Horse, Alaska.
Teacher: "Now class, where are you all from?"

Never thought I'd see your face again. You were the that one famous commenter that was everywhere before the Just Some Guy clones took over.
Damn I thought the legend died good to see he's still alive
Where were ya bud?
I also recall a town in Australia being called Eromanga.
lol
Lmao
Gigguk needs to make a video where he goes to Eromanga.
yhunata i live in australia i gotta head there
Thank you for commenting this, I know where to travel to now if I ever get wanderlust

@Supernova Cinnamon You're near cuckfield??

Disappointed that Joey didn't talk about that one indigenous town name "Tittybong".
Lol
Question:"how did we go from isekai to cuckfield"?
Answer:"Wales"
*cough* he said Izakayas not Isekai
I was going to like but you already have 69 of them and I can't be the one to mess that up
There's also a place in Australia called Eromanga.
I want to go on that road trip around the UK that passes through places with "not family-friendly" names.
I'd pay for that
i mean it would be extremely boring but you could use it just to flex
If you’re familiar with “The Inbetweeners” they did something like that for charity. Look up Rude Road trip on UA-cam.
There's a Bell End near where I live. British humour at its finest 👍
Go to wet wang
Some funny place names in Sweden are:
Krigslida = literally "war vagina" in modern meaning (could also mean war scabbard, or war sheath as those are the original meanings for the word slida)
Blåsut = Blow out
Ryckepungvägen = Twitchy scrotum road (although, pung is an old word for money pouch, and Rycka is a verb that can mean to snatch, so it probably got it's name from people getting robbed there)
Röven = literally "The ass" (I have no idea how this place got it's name o_O)
Also once when I was on Google maps, lurking over the US, I found two weird place names close to each other: Dickshooter and China Hat.
here in Norway we have a place called Hell, which means "luck" in Norwegian, but for english speakers...
My favourite one here in Finland is a lake called Kivesjärvi (Testicle lake) and in that lake there is an island called Mulkkusaari (Dick island).
@@MABfan11 Don't you guys also have a mountain named Helvetestinden, which means Hell peak or something?
@@Mallinaamari Yeah! I just looked it up. From Wikipedia: Helvetestinden (lit. Hell Peak) is a granite mountain peak located near Bunes beach, municipality of Moskenes, in Lofoten, Norway.
In Norway we also have a place called «verdens ende» which means The End of the Word or World End. Its a more local place and we didnt believe our grandma when she told us at first
3:38 Remember that the opposite end of the Piccadilly Line is Heathrow Airport. So imagine all these overtired tourists landing in the UK only to hear 'This is the Piccadilly Line to Cockfosters'.
"so what's the town like?"
"it's fucking dead"
LMFAO
Chile has some great town names lmao
-Salsipuedes “get out if you can”
-Calle Larga “Long Street”
-Entrepiernas “Between Legs”
-Reputo which doesn’t have a direct translation but it’s like re-manwhore
-Peor es Nada which is an idiom and it roughly means “worse is nothing” which is like “it’s better than nothing”
-Purgatorio “Purgatory”
-Los Hoyos “The Holes”
Y "Navidad"
JAJAJAJA de verdad hay un " re puto"?
Entrepiernas es crotch en inglés, eso lo hace gracioso
One of the longest names of a place in my country is: Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgesk-ietfontein
It’s a name of a farm.
"two buffalo's shot dead with a round-fountain"? never change, zuid afrika
You're from SA I'm guessing
@@Ben-ng3lx it asz the fontein
@@drquas8380 ik moest 'twee buffels met een skoot morsdood geskiet fontein een paar keer lezen voordat ik 'm begreep.
The bois should all know that there is, in fact, a Town in Austalia named Eromanga.
There's a place in Portugal named "Covide". Until this year that was probably harmless enough.
No joke there is a place in the UK called Worlds End and also a place in Orkney called Twatt ( which i been too as well)
Don't forget about Shitterton too
Is world's end good?
Don't forget Little Cockup, Cockup and Great Cockup
@@vbucci6894 Its fucking awesome. Go watch it now. Go watch the whole trilogy!
We also have Worlds End in Norway its called «verdens ende»
One of best UK names I've heard is: Middlesex
S C U N T H O R P E
Wessex and Essex : West and East Saxons
But yeah all of them are funny out of context
@Supernova Cinnamon
Ah yes South Saxons
It sounds like the *doing the deed* is *suspicious*
Wet wang
I see you guys haven't heard of Bitchfield or Shitterton
As someone from Australia, some of my favourite place names that I have heard of are Humpybong, Dismal Swamp, Eggs and Bacon Bay, Mount Misery and Mount Mee.
I like 'Seventeen Seventy'. There are also plenty of racist creeks or hills around the country; dozens named with an anagram of ginger, and only some of those have been renamed in light of it being pointed out how racists they are.
But I think my favourite is a name a lot of people know but don't think about. Nullarbor sounds like it could come from an Aboriginal language, but it's actually Latin. And if you didn't know before, now that I've pointed it out you might be able to tell what the name means. It means 'no trees', which is a pretty accurate description of the region.
Mount Misery sounds like a fun place
That last one got me! XD
@@OriginalPiMan Wow ive always thought Nullabor was indigenous because it sounds like it is, but now you say it of course its Latin, its literall "null" = no and "abor" = tree.
Apparently there's a place in Victoria called Scented Knob. There's also a place called Bong Bong and the only thing there is a heritage listed church. XD
there's a tiny town in Newfoundland, Canada, called Dildo
There's also a little island of the coast called pee pee island :)
I guess I know what I am doing when lockdowns are lifted.
In Switzerland there is a village called „Bitsch“ and it is pronounced exactly the way you think it is...
better yet, a town called "fucking" in austria
edit:FUCK, they change it to fugging now
@@mudahjr9600 because a lot of people stole the signs of the town with the name "fucking" on it 😂😢
I need a Connor commentary of Vinland Saga’s depiction of Wales. I don’t know why but I need this.
Seriously tho I lowkey wish the producers hired him to VA the Welsh speaking portion when the Vikings and Welsh met, instead of filming it in Japanese.
I live in a town called battleground and everyone tells me I'm lying because it sounds too cool.
Dang
So what's in there? XD
@@mintpudding7908 not a lot really, a bit of forest and a bit of town.
That’s sounds way to badass
@@knweeb514 IKR, I wasn't excited to move at first but the towns name makes it somewhat worth it
Whoever did the zoom in at 4:38 needs a raise, that had me geeked
Yeh, the UK has some funny names for things. xD
There's a place called Sandwich. Heck, if you can think of it and it sounds English enough, it's probably the name of an actual place in the UK.
Also the fact that Connor was able to say that Welsh towns name so convincingly was impeccable. True Welshmen right there.
Sandwich the town probably came before sandwich the food :P
@@Leifenguard Sandwiches came from a Georgian Lord called Lord Sandwich who had the radical idea of putting something in between two bits of bread and therefore named it after himself, it sounds daft but it's actually true
Ye but it didn't have the right accent
Taiga that’s not too weird cos there were loads of Roman Baths there when we were still in their Empire
ғɪʟʟ 1ɴ ᴛ҉ ʜ3 ʙʟᴀɴᴋs I live really close to Sandwich. There’s another place right next to it called Ham and there’s a sign in between the two towns which says “ham sandwich”
4:39 caught me so off guard. I'M DYING XD

That welsh town's name is everywhere I stg
5 seconds in and Connor is flexing being Welsh... 🙄
I can say long town name but it has over 40 letters so i cannot spell it
As an Australian, I am quite partial to geriatric park, or the road dickward drive, that runs into Fannie bay.
Well, there is one kind of funnily named place in Western Australia called “Cockburn”… The “ck” is supposed to be silent but people that live near there generally encourage the pronunciation to be as read
The funniest place I know of near where I am is we have a state park named "Bong." It's pretty normal to me, I knew about it well before I knew what the object was but whenever I have an out of towner with me and we pass the sign it gets a confused glance
*Tries to pronounce town name from Wales *
Connor: _Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrob_
Accidentally summons Cthulhu 🐙
Wah!
Cthulhu shows up in Wales, finds out people there can finally read his name correctly so he feels welcomed, settles down and becomes just another giant harry Welsh with some tentacles and inter dimensional powers.
0:05 I know you want it
I am one of the people living in llanfairPG, and it was hilarious hearing you mention the name. It is a quaint little place, and honestly once you live here, learning the name doesn't take too long.
I live near a town called Fingringhoe, always gives me a giggle when I see road signs for it 😂
There's a place in Queensland called "Eromanga" and I'm disappointed it wasn't brought up.
I like the fact that caption was stop for a second, when connor said the thing
Im still fasinated that Connor pronounced that whithout stuttering 0-0
Cause he's Welsh, innit?
I dont remeber, i think soooooo?
I feel very powerful every time I flex my ability to say llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
@@pot2203 He is, lol.
Epic B)
In Argentina we got some weird named towns. One i particularly remember now is "Venado Tuerto", "Venado" being Deer and "Tuerto" is a funny word that means that it lacks one eye and we use it mostly to mock or as a nickname ("El tuerto"). A translation could be "One eyed deer" but it kind of misses the fun in the name.
Conner:says the name of the town
Me: Allow me to introduce myself *Ahem

I actually was there, too. About 5 years ago in March....I froze my butt off...we went around Anglesey. I can highly recommend it during summer :D
Now I really want to have a full video of Connor just speaking Welsh
Damn, Connor slayed that long town name harder than when he slays Terminators.
Listening to Connor pronouncing the town's name correctly gives me hope that someone in the world might be able to pronounce my Welsh name correctly
Which is?
Edit: I think your username is pronounced Branwen? Which reminds me, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t that mean Blessed Raven in Welsh?

There's a town called Cockburn between SA and NSW in Aus. Also one called Yas. I think that one's also NSW? Might be VIC
The long lake name is probably Lake Webster, also known as Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, found in Webster, Massachusetts. It means "fishing place at the boundary/neutral zone" or "lake divided by islands". This is sometimes humorously translated as "You fish on your side, I fish on my side and nobody fishes in the middle."
There was a street in the village where I went to school in Wollaston, named "Bell End"
Justin Y is here but at least i am earlier than

God alien man i’m happy he’s back, most of his comments are quality
Connor just pronouncing the town name like it's nothing. King!
Theres also a place called "Twatt" and "Cock Bridge" in Scotland for some reason
Joey should've talked about the place in Victoria called "Chinaman's Knob"
Not a town, but near where I live there’s a state park named after the famous WWII ace Richard Bong. The sign literally says “Bong recreation area”
Um... the Big Banana is in NSW, Coffs Harbour. Banana's grow all around the coast. Also... Allow me to point to the small outback town of Eromanga.
I just imagine a little Joey seeing the Big Banana and calling the town Banana as a kid, and now he just thinks that's its name
0:05
I need this to hear Connor named the place every time
Single best town name in Australia: Eromanga in Western Queensland.
Not a lot of people know it exists, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best unfortunately named place (at least to those who are cultured enough).
I lived in Arkansas for a while. There are towns literally named Hooker, Weiner, Bald Knob, Possum Grape, and Goobertown. I don’t know wtf is going on there 😂
4:36 🤣🤣🤣
Connor's reaction when joey says banana
In South Africa we don't have too many funny sounding places but since they have different pronunciations its always funny seeing tourists try and say stuff like Draakensberg, Ichanga, Bloemfontien etc etc.
I've been in Piccione, central italy, wich means pidgeon. We also have La Spezia (the spice) and a LOT of other ridicoulous shit in city names.
In Austria we had the best town name: "Fucking". Its a tiny tiny town. But tourists kept stealing the town sign so they renamed it to "Fugging", which is closer to the local pronunciation anyway.
There also was an area called "Arschlochwinkel" (asshole corner). The reason: In the time of the monarchy someone was ordered to map the whole country and as they came to that area and asked the locals of the names of mountains and valleys there where places that the locales had no name for. Just for fun the locals came up with all kind of rude and funny names and the cartographer accepted them without question. It was renamed some time in the 20th century, though.
There is a place in Tasmania Australia called "Nowhere Else"
The not so family friendly town names in Germany aren't bad either:
There's Pissen (pissing) close to Tötensen (killingsen).
Or Kleindingharting (small-thing-hard-ing) and Großdingharting (big-thing-hard-ing)
Bumsbach (fuck-river)
And quite a bunch more. I just love German town names :D
There is also the town Fucking in Austria where they sell a pale lager called "Fucking Hell"
in western australia, about 30 minutes south of perth is a town called cockburn. it’s pronounced co-burn but as a child i didn’t quite get the memo and always said cockburn and i love that 👌
It's conversations like this that make me so happy to be from England and a viewer of this channel. 😂
Whenever UK suffers through a nationwide flood, they always focus on on town that freqently pops up: "Cockermouth"
OMG, the names in Newfoundland are so fantastic!!! There's a song by a band call 'The Arrogant Worms' they're a Canadian comedy band but one of there songs is purely names from Newfoundland "A Night On Dildo"
There's a lake in the middle of nowhere Ontario called Little Butt Lake, located conveniently right next to Dick Lake.
In Chile we have a town call "peor es nada" If we translate it's means better than nothing and that name describe perfectly the town, it's like go to a town in the mediaeval age nothing happens there
In Texas we have Gun Barrel City as a town. There's Hell Michigan, Nowhere Colorado, Deadhorse AK,Bald knob Arkansas. U.S. has a lotta weird named tiny towns
In Washington we have Tokeland
Weed, CA
Near Perth in Australia there is a town called Cockburn (apparently pronounced "Co-burn" but i dont know of any other silent "ck"s in English :P)
Damn Joey as D the big banana is in Qld but it's in Coffs Harbour.
I live near Slaughter Beach, Delaware. And Broadkill Beach. When traveling down the highway I know I’m getting close to home when the names start to sound like 80’s horror movies
There’s a “butt street” near where I live.
The sign apparently gets stolen a lot.
There's a citty here in Brazil called "Big Dick" and it there's also a video of that "I saw an alian spaceship" in that city (Pau Grande, literally translated to Big Dick)
Pertinho de Magé, na baixada fluminense. Garrincha nasceu ali em Big Dick
I remember going down a street with the name Hazardville and there was literally a gun/munitions factory on it.
TFW Llangollen and Llandudno are relatively tame names for towns and villages in your country.
They just seem like normal names to me lmao
Well I mean it makes sense because I live here ofc-
Australia also has a town called orange that doesn't grow oranges for some reason
That Welsh "ll" sound is pretty cool but it seems pretty hard to pronounce multiple times in the same word >.>
There is a place in Portugal called boca do inferno, it means hells mouth or mouth of hell.
As someone who spent a whole day learning how to pronounce this place's name during my college days, I am proud.
they put the town name in their sports teams' jerseys and it actually fits
I have been to Banana in Queensland, Australia as I from Queensland the real story is
Visitors are always a little baffled by the town’s unusual name, particularly as there isn’t a single banana tree in sight. A dun-coloured bullock is responsible for that.
A favourite of local stockmen in the 1860’s, Banana the bullock, so named for his yellowish colouring, would help herd wild cattle into holding yards. When Banana died, the gully was given the name in honour of his feats.
A replica of Banana proudly stands in the town, a warm reminder of his legacy to those pioneering days.
A key junction point between the Dawson and Leichhardt highways, from Banana travellers can reach all the wonders of the region in next to no time.
Thanks for the story on the town of Banana! I think the boys here got mixed up with Banana and Coffs Harbour, the latter being home to The Big Banana and growers of the fruit/berry
There’s a town in County Donegal, Ireland called Muff.
It has a diving school.
Connor: pronounces the town's name perfectly
Me: OmG. Zaddyy
Disappointed that nobody knows that there's a hamlet in England named "Shitterton", which, yes, is named after shit.
There's a giant rock with the town name written on it, which the residents paid for because people kept stealing their town signs and drove away with them.
Not a town but in lake Jackson there are two streets called this way and that way street
Reminds me of good old Balzac Alberta
Connor: There's a climbing place there.
Joey: ...You mean a hill?
Connor: -_- No.
Since I've been living in Mexico I noticed that they have a place called 'Salsipuedes' which literally means 'getoutifyoucan'
There is a town in Victoria, Australia called Dismal Swamp.
LlanfairPG the 3rd longest place name now, other places are getting on the band wagon which is why a lake was nominated at the longest (it is.)
If you're gonna visit The Big Banana, you should also visit Lamington National Park and The Big Prawn.
4:10
Victorian era stuff.
Semans is the weirdest named place that I have been to here in Canada, but we do have some other great names out here
Is there also a place in NSW called Big Lobster because it has a massive fibreglass lobster as well?
"Noone goes there, because nobody can pronounce the Name"
In my Head: Someone, who want's to visit that Town and asking a local for the way "Hello Sir/Madam can you please tell me the way to L... Llaaaaa..." *starts to cry* "i can't... i..."...
