They accidentally gave the best interview in the history of television
Clever boys.
Both with degrees and one is now a student medical doctor in 3rd or 4th year.
Agreed 👏
@@MsFionaxxx very impressed 👏 👌, love those brothers 👌 xx
Yes
I burst out laughing when Michael said for sure for sure... in all the years he has never sounded Irish... and then stick two west cork guys down beside him, and Michael's Kerry accent appears.
He does have an Irish accent, it's just a more neutral one. He's lived abroad for twenty years or so, of course he's going to sound more international than your local joe soap irish man.
Sully1865 thats exactly what she said moron
She said he never had a Kerry accent all these years. I'm saying he had, just a neutral one.
Also, If you feel the need to go around abusing people it's a reflection on you Amy.
Amy Kovac read what sully said properly..... Moron
I have the same problem as him, only thing is I’ve never lived anywhere but Ireland
The dude on the left, Paul O Donavan, is a qualified Physiotherapist and is now doing a Medical Degree!
Fair play lad.
He’s fairly decent at rowing also..
Do you mean to dude on the right
@@paulward4417 No his left
Chris Taylor Paul is on the right
@@hililly3219 no on his left
Chris Taylor Paul oDonavan is on the right Gary oDonavan is in the left
The wanking comment is comedy gold.
What did he actually say I couldn't understand his accent😂
@@bronwengrace7183 "Probably w*nking away (as I make it) at home". I'm unsure of the last part - but the gist was in the first part.
@@Proglove85 isnt the last part "at 'her' home"?
I love the juxtaposition of watching Michael Fassbender get the amazingly quick-witted joke and burst into laughter at the same moment Cotillard's reaction looks like they're speaking Klingon.
@@diasroshi4097 I think he's saying away there at home
"Down in Skibbereen, they would have no respect for anything down there like" 😂😂😂
What does it mean...?
@@nuruladibah6889 I guess the people living in the town of Skibbereen don't care that they won Olympic medals for Ireland.
@@UXB1000 thanks!
No respect for anything in Skibb.
Source: Skibb native.
@@nuruladibah6889 It's sarcasm.
"no bullshit like, yer man says go at the start and there's a hooter at the end " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4 irish lads at once most be the most the show had
Nope. 2 members of u2 are english
Those accents 😍😍😍😍😍 everyone loves the Irish
Havanasky100 only Americans
The show? Yes. Graham? Probably not.
I'd say so, if you include the red chair there was 4 on the episode with Colin Farrel and Chris o'dowd too
Marion has no clue what's going on 😂
like most women
Shut up baby man
I just want to know at what point did she go from "I REALLY want to try and understand these two" to "et merde"
as an englishman neither do i
@@EoinFC women statistically do better in school...at every level. So no, you're wrong. Sort your mummy issues out
I can literally hear the crickets in Marion Cotillard's head, but as an Irish person I understand every word lol
What does he say at 1:03?! Something something on set with Michael and his thick Kerry accent? !!
@@riverholme Exactly that. Due to Marion not understanding the lads, they asked how she managed to understand Michael on set with his thick Kerry accent.
@@riverholme Something about being on a movie set with Michael
These two are unintentionally hilarious! Though to be perfectly honest I had to replay like thrice just to understand what they're saying.
I think they're well aware, yer man was blatantly taking the piss at the end there.
Oh they know exactly what they're saying. Do you see the slíbhín little twinkles in their eyes?
These are two exceptionally bright lads. Happen to be very down to earth like most Irish people.
all of West Cork behaves this way
Thrice is a word that has been sadly neglected over the years. I must remember to utilise it more frequently.
I love the casual ' There ya go boy' Paul gave to Michael when he gave him the medal. The guy gives no shits.
Olympic medals in the back pocket haha probably the most irish thing ive ever seen 😂😂😂😂
😂
"tis is a fairly simple sport like" I almost shit myself laughing
Great ambassadors for Ireland
I am from cork and I don't cry like that
Graham has never sounded so Irish. Michael Fassbinder is flexing the Irish real hard, and James McAvoy just can't help being his Scottish self. Never been more proud of the people.
And Marion? Oh well...
These guys are down to earth, unassuming and so quick witted. Really refreshing to listen to . Every second thing they say is turned into a joke.
A lot Irish lads are super quick witted. I worked with a boat lot of lads over 5-6 years at a commercial moving company and the first fellas I met were some craic, all of them were super smart, well spoken and really quick witted.
The O'Donovan brothers might just be the best guests on the Graham Norton Show ever.
the boys were enjoying it as much as graham...great ambassadors.
I'm a huge fan of The Graham Norton Show. And this is by far, the best interview. I come back every now and then to laugh my ass off
Same here. Came here after watching the Kerry Condon interview on Kimmel. She knocked It out of the park with her sheer Irishness.
'A member of your desired sex' - James McAvoy being classy af with his inclusivity and non presumption.
Made me love him even more
So woke
@You’rejustafreaklikemeLoads of straight men would be offended if you assumed that they were gay and lots of gay or bi people would feel uncomfortable if you assumed that they were heterosexual and then they would have to declare that they're actually not, even more having to do so with a stranger. Either situation, the person doing the assuming about someone else's sexual orientation or preferences is declaring a narrative for someone else and that's wrong.
@You’rejustafreaklikeme Why are you mad over someone being polite? What's wrong with that?
@You’rejustafreaklikeme No one held a knife to his throat and no one would've been upset if he had just said "a woman" seeing as he couldn't have known their sexualities, but he chose to be respectful. I just don't understand your problem with it. If he had said "a woman" and people for upset I would've been right there with you because it is a normal assumption to make but he chose not to make an asaumption and there's nothing wrong with that.
Who's here now after he won gold?
2:06 Marion's thinking "I guess that's my cue to clap"
*Applauds*
The best of the Irish on that stage there! Finally Irish representatives that don't embarrass us and portray us as drunks. They're the salts of the earths. And they're personalities are just fantastic! Xxx
Oh by the way....... Up shkib
And that don't have posh Dublin or American accents like so many other Irish young people who have become so insecure that they prefer not to sound like they are from where they're from
just 11 out of 10 for pure simple effortless brilliance and why no one should ever underestimate the Irish, they have an innate charm that's impossible to imitate. This made me cry laughing and there's not many times that's happened.
Paul teamed up with Fintan McCarthy for the Tokyo games and they won gold. Well done lads.
I didn't know that until reading this post. Looked it up online and Paul looks totally different than on the GN show. Still, good for them! Well done, lads!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm from Galway and I understand them, it's like crystal clear to me! I can understand why non-Irish people wouldn't understand them tho, a Cork accent is one of the thickest Irish accents.
I'm from Louth and can understand every word not a problem.
Cathy Maguire Donegal has to be the hardest for me anyway
I'm from Toronto and I've no problem understanding them at all; mind my ma is from Paisley which maybe primed my ears for a bit of an accent :)
Ted tis a fairly simple sport, like.
Cathy Maguire ya I'm from mayo and I could understand everything they said
I met the two lads at the Ploughing. Jasus they're mighty craic altogether
that is the most Irish comment I've ever read on UA-cam.,,,, The Ploughing
@@everyonelovesdee giddy up mush
You’re so lucky, I’d luv to meet these 2 lads!!
Understanding the O'Donovan brothers is like a walk in the park compared to trying to understanding what my grandfather from west Kerry is saying 😂
The O'Donovan brothers deserve their own chat show 👏🏻
The Kerry dialects are beautiful. It's a damn shame that younger Kerry girls have chosen the RTÉ Dublin dialect en masse over it... Maybe the Dublin based national media gave them a negative perception of the dialects of their own home or something
Only after listening to Irish radio for the last 12 months can I re-watch this interview and actually understand the boys. Beyond pleased at that, and yes they're hilarious. Congrats Paul on yesterday's 2020 Gold; and I'm sure Gary was cheering hard (that must have been rough to allow another to take your seat!). Fine Irishmen & athletes both of them. x
Well done, I had an advantage because throughout my childhood I loved United Kingdom, Scotland and Republic of Ireland and Northern I can understand the accent very well as an Aussie.
I love how Paul just gives his medal to Michael. ' Here you go boy have a look at them there'
The “tick Kerry accent” was strong! I’ve rowed against Skibbereen’s Rowing Club in the past and they were hard to beat! You couldn’t meet nicer lads in the world.
Is Skibbereen in Kerry though?! I thought this wasn’t a Kerry accent? What is he saying at 1:03 I can’t get it, is he implying Michael doesn’t have a ‘tick Kerry accent’?
I think it's so funny how people can't understand them 😂
Dowdly yeah they do😂 I'm from cork so I understand it all I'm used to hearing this accent
maggie14235 I'm from cork to
EYY CORK IS THE BEST
(I'm From cork)
maggie14235 I'm from cork
+Amelia Horgan and Waterford
o donovan brothers you guys are my idols when it comes to rowing. Im in my town rowing club and I was kicked off my crew u16 for a girl who should have been u14 because of what her surname was before the season started. I was close to stopping rowing because of how I was being more or less ingored in my club.Your whole attitude during the Olympic Games saying you were just having the craic helped my this year. So instead of worrying about races I just went to training for the craic. Because of you now I have fun at rowing not worrying about anything other than being in the boat and having the craic. Cheers lads😉
I love the way all the Irish have to literally translate what they're saying to everyone on this 😂😂
Diarmuid Hennigan kinda racist
Fuck off
james maunsell haha I'm irish myself buddy
brennan93 eist do bheal a
+james maunsell no it's not
I still come here, now and again, just to cheer myself up.
Me too! Always makes me smile! Have you checked out the Red Bull video on them? It's great! Moving, funny, there a great story!
@@Mark.G475 yeah I accidently stumbled across that. It's fantastic and really captures the spirit of all their interviews.
Did they qualify for Tokyo in the end? There was talk at one point that only one of them was going to be going, with a different partner. That would be a shame if it turned out to be true.
Having a Graham Norton show on the t.v at Xmas is as wonderful as watching a public flogging in 1620
That's not even the hardest Irish accent to understand !
I highly doubt it. It's inarticulate and incomprehensible.
avada ever heard an kerry accent
never heard this one before though, but ok
Northern accents are way more difficult IMO.
For someone that has english as a second language they are all hard to understand
These boys are pure role models . I think their accents are beautiful and natural . I have no problem at all understanding them . I know I'm a Kerryman. Good luck to them in the future !! I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty more medals from them. Brendan
Who’s watching after Paul won gold in Tokyo?
Anyone out there who never knew why the Irish were the most loved people on the planet, well now you know.
not many now - too much money changes People forever. been going on from the early 70's. all looking to be Rich in life money money money and they Don't CARE.
@@MarkRobertCuthbert what's that actually supposed to mean.
You aren't even Irish 😂😂
M.A.M Dhilshath What do they call a general hate for an entire race? We are grand w/o you or your approval. I won’t judge your countrymen by your racist remarks.
M.A.M Dhilshath U look at the real GDP per capita as a truer measure of an economy’s strength ( u r comparing countries w different population sizes, of course larger countries have larger economies? ) we r second in the EU for real GDP per capita we have a higher std of living (for all our citizens) than most of the Western world! So, like I said, we r grand ... so “know your place” & go saunter u right pure amadán.
I literally spent my 3 hours watching The Graham Norton Show random episode/segment. But this one made me watched over and over again. I got hooked by Paul O'Donovan, he is so charming in this interview. ❤😊
Good lads.. down to earth.. no celebrity bullshit.... I like em !
I'm Irish so I got it all. Poor Marion
as an Irish man of understood everything they said but I guarantee 80% of people watching have no idea and also the people on the show
Dylan porter Clare man myself
Dylan porter wexford
Dylan porter -- This Canadian had no problem understanding them.
American from northern plains (south dakota) and i got all of it. But I do think that I have much more exposure to the variety of Irish accents than most Americans- just because I'm interested. So I'd say that many americans would miss alot of this. I mean, I watched "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" and the people I was with needed subtitles...
This New Yorker understood every word and thinks their accents are awesome.
2 legends, they have done Ireland proud. They are funny, great characters and above else, they are great rowers.
Absolute legends one of the best interviews they've given😂😂 hon the lads
Fassbender was laying on the accent thick.
audience2 I suppose he was letting go lol
Graham’s got thicker too. So funny how that happens.
@@SeaMonsterCeph It happens all the time.
He actually sounds like that most of the time and did most of his films in the Irish
Those boys are just brilliant 😂😂
Just for all the non irish people...there are much harder accents to understand than these lads....this is nothing compared to some waterford, or west galway accents....
michael o true but i’m french-canadien so english is not my first language... I didn’t understand a word still
Oh yeah? Is that a challenge?
Try "Irish Farmers Lose Their Sheep" on UA-cam
I understand it but the Kerry accent can go to the moon and beyond.
Goway boy nothin wrong wit the Waterford accent atal 😅
Or Kerry, Cavan, Monaghan or louth
@@rasher8640 I love my county ...and we love john mullannnnee
Two lovely lads and very funny, enjoying their time in the spotlight, and rightly so. Best of luck in the future lads, you are great Ambassadors for Cork and for Ireland.
One of the best interviews in the show. Graham was raised in Bandon, which is only 50km away from Skibbereen. But the brothers accent is quite different.
Great guys all round.
cmon the bais!!!! doing cork proud! we all love u. funnyAF!!!!
vivienne twohig do you know sean twohig?
Graham’s accent gets stronger as the interview goes on , brilliant. I feel like *I * might have an Irish accent after watching it twice.
Hon the boys
The bhoys, class without knowing it
Well a few years later and its gold !
Yaaaaa
I love these two and watch it time and again. I understand them perfectly but just love them, make me laugh every time!
Has to be the best interview ever.
Weird to think Graham and the bais are from towns really near eachother.
Absolutely love these guys. They're just having so much fun with it. Also, this is not even a thick Irish accent! How are people not understanding them?!
Oh wow they're brothers. That's really cool.
I know right, it's amazing! (*looks out window*) wow a bird!!
I love how more Irish Graham sounds the more talks with them!
these guys were brilliant. God bless 'em.
Best of luck to these two lads they did themselves proud
When Michael Fassbender was on Top Gear , he used the comment " Sweating like a cornered nun " . I still laugh at that one
@@dotty1220 now that's disrespectful.
This makes 5 times I have watched this! These guys are just sooooo funny.
I come back every year to rewatch this interview and see if finally, my english is good enough to understand what the O'Donovan Brothers are saying. Unfortunately, this isn't my year again.
Could listen to these two all day absolutely hilarious.
I choked on my coffee when he answered about getting back in the boat. These two make me miss rowing and want to resume it with a rec team just to have some fun.
I know it's late, but what did they say exactly.? I couldn't understand them 😥
"Er, no, it's the same, you just put the boat down into the water and sit in"
@@afsocit thank you!!
Im American and I can understand everything they say. They are naturally funny as hell. I can only imagine how funny they would be with a few drinks.
Loved this video. These two brothers were unbelievable in their interviews.!! They are true blue.... and would sit with you at a pub and have a beer.!
im Australian and understood them crystal clear
terrell carden-reynolds it makes sense I suppose since the Australian accent takes it's roots from lower class English and the Irish accent
No it becuase he is not retarded and understands English unlike most you tubers.
terrell carden-reynolds I’m also Australian and could only understand like 40% of their words.
I'm Australian and I understand maybe 70%. I watched a Rio interview and I understood nothing.
Love these guys. So so funny. An absolute credit to our beautiful country :-)
These two are f hilarious. There just raw comedians without trying. In stitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂
these guys are hilarious
Gold in 2021 for Ireland. Bring the boys back, Graham!
the craic is mighty!!!!😂😂😂😂
ADORE these two. Give them a reality show, tbh.
Learning to talk Cork put 'like' as the last word in each sentence. That's it. Like.
Rio Olympic Reporter : “How has your life been in the last couple of hours since winning your medal ?”
Rowing Brother: “ well , I have been locked into a room trying to pee into a jar like “
I'm from Yorkshire but I grew up around an Irish nanna, I I understand every word these guys are saying it's not that hard if you listen really carefully 😂😂😂
Meghan Robertshaw my wife is from ripon my family havnt a clue what's she saying 😂
The guy on the right has an Olympic gold medal now.
Best interview ever on any tv show
They’re the best. I love them so much.
Paul O'Donovan's laugh is SOOOO CUUUTE!!!
They are so cheeky and lovely that IT GIVES ME LIIIFE!!!
Paul O'Donovan is studying medicine now at UCC in Cork
Mulch Diggums ugh. Future orthopod in the making
And now he has won a olympic gold
Quite simple a brilliant interview. Nice happy fella's and well done to them. I'm English and I could understand em.
Kind of funny that no one has a clue what they are saying and I hear and speak like that everyday 😂
Same
Ben Rafter I'm from Clare and that accent is Vile. They sound like fools. Cringe worthy stuff right there.
Ben Rafter I'm from Wexford and I can understand them
they just sound like boggers to me
Ben Rafter I'm from the city so it's easy for ,e to understand. There's some crac off em lol
I watched this on Saturday and it was hilarious 😂😂😂
I just love ❤ these lads.
The guys are legends.
loving the red socks on Paul - he took his Corkonian roots to the GN Show :D
These 2 lads are hilarious :-)
Humans without ego = Nice people
Grahams suit is brighter than my future
i love how much more Irish Graeme sounds in their company
Graham’s home town of Bandon is only about 45 mins from where the O’Donovan’s come from in Skibbereen. His holiday home is pretty close to Skib too, so he hears this accent all summer! I think he neutralises his accent a lot for British tv. I think the accent he had as Fr Noel Furlong in Father Ted might be close to his accent growing up 😆
long may the run, row, pull...great men
Between them, those two brothers said 'like' 21 times throught this 5 min clip. And thats without counting Graham because he joined in abit too!
Sure they are from Cork bai, surprised it's not more like
Sure that's normal there now like.
Cork boys say like all the time like sure tis just the way it is.
there typical irish are they serious our taken the piss there the kind that wod wind up the paparazzi rather than get wound up, trust me there 2 clever boys there a credit to there parents
tommy gunn
We all talk like that here In cork
These two are golden, well done on the silver though! 👍
