The priest being horrible to him was the worst as he’d initially been nice to James, and James wanted to be like him. With his cousin, peers, and Erin’s relatives, Sister Michael etc they had always been horrible to him so he knew where he stood. The priest gave James hope.
3:07 is the golden ticket for me, “if you lot had stopped invading us for five fucking seconds we wouldn’t have so much to mull over.” I applaud thee, brilliant!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love how James isn’t even really English, he’s Irish who was raised in England. It’s not the poor bastard’s fault, even though he sounds like a right nob every time he talks.
His dad is English. Also a person’s identity in the UK and Ireland are based on where they’re raised not their heritage. People in Ireland and The UK are so mixed along with that fact that there are so many people of color, heritage takes a backseat to the culture in which you’re raised. He’s English even though his mum is Northern Irish. Just like a kid raised in Wales with English parents is Welsh.
@@xolotlnephthys Even if his dad isn't English, James himself is. A person in the UK's identity depends on where they're raised not their heritage. Or else 1/4th of all the people in The UK would be Irish including 1/4th of England.
@@abandonedfragmentofhope5415 did you just pull this number out of your arse? The percentage of the UK population with Irish ancestry is estimated to be around 10% and that is going back multiple generations. The number goes up substantially if you count starting from pre Norman invasion but at that point Ireland didn't even exist (with its current cultural or national identity) and we would be looking at trace genetics mixed with any number of other genetic lineages. When someone is describes as being of a nationality, it is usually carries on at least till second generation and although James is culturally English, he is very much second generation and both his parents are Irish (well his mother is Northern but you know what I mean). It may also be worth noting that you can be born and raised in a nation and never consider yourself of that nationality. If you ever go to Corby Northamptonshire, you will find a bunch of people who will call themselves Scots despite not being born in Scotland and in many cases never even visited. TLDR: you don't get to decide people cultural identity.
@@abandonedfragmentofhope5415 I don't think that's true. I used to talk to a guy who grew up in England but his parents were Welsh so he referred to himself as Welsh. I think a history of oppression makes people attached to their heritage.
I feel so sorry for James. Not only does his mother abandon him and his family hate him but from how he just takes the abuse most of the time I get the feeling this is normal for him. I mean in England he's probably treated like shit because they see him as Irish and in Ireland they treat him like shit because they see him as English. He doesn't deserve any of this.
i think because they degrade so often and nonchalantly no one takes it personally -which to acknowledge the comment above mine is what james learns by the latest episode
Yeah after the fact it’s tv an Irishman in England wouldn’t be a problem as the Irish never invaded us and kill a few million but that’s why English in Ireland not good
Nah sure she hates him, she says so herself so she does. In Series 1 she says "I look at him sometimes and aye, I think, it's pure hatred, I'll not dress it up"
@@liammcquillan7246 I believe she just said that to make Erin's mum feel uncomfortable about refusing to them off her hands for the day since she had to work that night. Same goes for the 'gay thing' she mentions. Just manipulation, pretty sure she didn't actually mean any of it.
James is a champ honestly he takes all the insults and just kind of accepts it. I feel kind of bad for him but my family is like Erins and its just out of affection really XD
ugh I hope not, there's not many shows where they just show men and women being just friends. Derry Girls is one of those shows that needs no hamfisted romance.
@@Momofan69 I get you, If they do put James with someone it will have to be done well but depictions of platonic relationships between men and women would make a refreshing change
Heyyyy the music is honestly too loud, and kinda unnecessary ? I have auditory processing issues and I honestly can't focus on what they're saying. But as always, great work !
Good GOD. The poor kid. This calls for drastic measures. (I am sorry, but this is not friendly taking the piss and they've gone too far and actually are mean to him.) (Putting on fairy godmother hat.) "Son, take it from me, she needs to be taught a lesson she'll never forget. Here is what we are going to do. You I presume are a Catholic?-Good. Fab. You my boy are going to scour through a 30 mile radius and go to another school. That cuts off contact with the bitch squad. Second, locks. Learn the value of padlocks on your bedroom door. She doesn't get in or out, Maguire." Second, learn a few valuable Irish phrases. Suck up hugely to the nearest teacher and pay her if you can. The make fun of you for being too English, so you go get revenge on them. (Yes, I realize this could backfire, but it might come in handy.). If the school your cuz goes to has Irish class, well, there is your opening. Learn to copy your cousin's handwriting. Get a hold of her test where she has to write an essay....and then write absolutely filthy stuff down. Double points if any of it is true. Triple if she has to read it to the class. If she keeps calling you a fanny, you shave her head. If you make any male friends, go for ALL of them. Maguire, it is time to unleash the vindictive little bastard inside you and make her life a living hell. You are going to get a raft of shit for that accent no matter what you do, so you'd better learn to box. Obviously, you can't hit Michelle, but you can tell her the hard truth: "You dress like a fucking slut and act like a whore. As you have shown me hardly a shred of kindness, well, what interest do I have in wanting to have anything to do with you? We share a grandparent, but that is IT. I am DONE. If you get hit by a local bus, I will throw a party, you walking talking pile of herpes!!"
just btw it’s supposed to be a reflection of how badly women are often treated in society, especially in just casual conversations, and expected to just accept it because it’s how it is. james is the only boy in the group so sometimes his friends joke around cause he’s different, it’s not harmful or even that serious. if a woman is the only one in a friend group made up of men, she probably gets treated badly all the time and no one bats an eye, because it’s so normalized that at this point i believe all men are inherently sexist. if you’re this angry about a fictional character getting teased by his friends, imagine how these women feel every single day:)
@@darkangel4994 One bad turn does not excuse another. Jamie is just a boy and he shouldn't be made to pay for the bad behavior of other males especially when he has committed no crime except to be born. You don't fight misogyny with misandry. They treat that boy like crap. I wouldn't be surprised if, as an adult, he says to both his aunt and his cousin to "get fucked." They would deserve it. "You offered me houseroom, but you did nothing to offer me love. Tell me, auntie dear, why didn't you get it over with and make me sleep in a cupboard under the stairs?! Lord knows you paid so little attention to Lolita over there as to be a joke!" I am a grown woman. I have been in situations where I am the only female owing to my chosen profession and I was taught from a young age by my own mother not to accept maltreatment. I would teach my son the same. "You are entitled to be treated with respect AND to equality. You are a human being. Do not accept any less. And if those put on this earth to be your family fail you, find others who will give you what you deserve, boy." And this is not teasing, it is bullying.
they literally just tease him, if the roles were reversed the guys would act way worse. plus it’s, y’know, not meant to be taken seriously since it’s A COMEDY
This comment is so dumb. Even within the show, Gerry is bullied by his father in law, who are both Irish Catholic men. Meg from Family Guy and Dee from It's Always Sunny are bullied by their male relatives. It's a comedy, grow up.

"what, fanny? we all have one!"
"I dont"
"you are one"
I died at that one hahaha
The gay thing cancels out the English thing… LOL
Can you explain how it works though? I’m from Asia so I cannot see the pun
It’s a stereotype that the Irish and Catholics in general love gays and hate English people.
@@ahome3406 oh that’s sweet! I didn’t know that Ireland was a homo-friendly country :D
"AgAiN, nO GaY tHiNG" 🥲🥲🤣
'Who said I was gay?'
not letting him use a toilet is just the most unnecessary and funniest shit ever.

I LOVE DERRY GIRLS. THIS IS SO GOOD
ME TOO
i love how half of this video is just the first episode lmao
Constantly make fun of him, as soon as he gets mad: "OMG calm the fook down"
Arguably the best written show in television history.

I love James so much he is basically a bullied puppy XD
Love how they all take the piss out of James 😂

Calm down. It's a comedy show
Well at least in England he fits in a little bit better because he has the same accent.
Na it all works out- watch till the end of the second season. It’s kinda the point of the whole final episode.

this is brilliant aha! Thank you for making this!!
Aunt Deirdre loves her nephew, James. At home she probably spoils him to pieces!
Nah sure she hates him, she says so herself so she does. In Series 1 she says "I look at him sometimes and aye, I think, it's pure hatred, I'll not dress it up"
She spoils him trust me

she's deffo the type that shows love through actions, but doesn't say anything affectionate... I guess she did home James when his mother fucked off
Desperately missing Derry Girls
Queen + Derry Girls = Loves of my life
Couldn't agree more
Derry Queen
As i read somewhere according to Nicola Coughlan who played Claire he is the most favoured Character by People in Derry City
Get this man a toilet!
If he didn’t want to be bullied then he shouldn’t have been English, in all fairness 🤷
Ah yeah, coz its a choice 🤦♂
@@darkstarr2321
God I love when people respond to a joke with sarcasm. Lowest form of wit strikes again.
Better than singling someone out for something they cant change, eh? Plus its more wit than you offered @@morbidsearch
Goddamn as a german understanding the slang is almost as hard as me trying to understand french
'Hope to God it's not the gay thing you're offended by' 🤣
Great editing
THANK YOU SM!!!
I vibe with James only dude I’ve seen who I relate to
Not the priest too 😂
I've never watched this show but i wanna so much
it’s so good, i definitely recommend! there’s a new season coming out soon too
@@niamh3254 Orla is Hilarious and I'm obsessed with the entire show 😂
If i was james i'd have pissed on someones table
James is a champ honestly he takes all the insults and just kind of accepts it. I feel kind of bad for him but my family is like Erins and its just out of affection really XD
The biggest plot twist Derry Girls could do in the future is have James come out as gay😂
You should watch Big Boys on Channel 4 😉
I saw someone say that Erin and James are bi and I wholeheartedly agree 😂
aww, poor james lol!
SAME I LOVE THE 3rd SEIRIES
If the school doesn't have any guy bathrooms, where do the male priests go when they occasionally visit?
Maybe the staff toilets are those nice single occupant deals.
I was hoping this video would end with the clip of him peeing on the plant 😅
ha! a Brit asking for civil rights! 1:43 .
Britain: a country so crazy even the Americans jumped ship and ran like hell
What’s the betting that James will end up with either orlah or Erin?
Seems like it was leaning towards Erin throughout the show but don’t think they’ll go through with it
@@Daniel-qw7mm I can see it.. The fact she was so upset when he was about to sleep with the Ukrainian girl makes me think she actually likes him
@@Daniel-qw7mm he definitely has a special bond with Orlah but I think you’re right he was supposed to end up with Erin
