You have to love the Irish. There are still many of you around who can take a joke and be self-deprecating. PC is creeping in, though. Don't lose your sense of humor, Ireland. It's what the world loves the most about you.

Never laughed so much as when he said that Liam Neeson could go to the pub and then he'd just vanished. We've a similar cottage in the arse end of Roscommon that could do with a similar make-over...just don't touch the mirror!
Liam Neeson is amazing in everything. Plus, he's actually from Belfast, Northern Ireland, himself. His Irish accent is actually just an emphasised version of his natural speaking voice!
Liam Neeson, a real Irishman with a fake Irish accent may be the 2nd best thing ever. The 1st best thing would be a real Jeff Goldblum with a fake Irish accent.
@@bighands69 Northern Ireland is part of the UK, Ireland is independent. They don't like each other...the IRA realllly doesn't like Northern Ireland being party of the UK.
For example, I am an Englishman, England is part of the UK/GB. In terms of nationality, I can and do self identify in a dual way as English/Englishman/British. Someone from Northern Ireland would as Northern Irish/Irishman/British. Easiest way to explain it without getting into sectarianism.
@@Daberneyhe was eventually a Lt. Col in the Marine Reserves. And according to his Wiki page he was awarded a Combat Action Medal, which means he was in the shit sometime before he made Captain, probably in Afghanistan.
I don't know why everyone is complaining, I liked it. They got RTE 2 right, the drunken anger over moving the mirror could be pretty spot on, they weren't the worst accents ever and at the end of the day, it's a parody. They're supposed to take the piss, stop being so sensitive. SNL mocks everyone and everything.
@@GamesFromSpaceoh yeah there is every time someone non British dares to try a British accent British people love to shit on them for even trying. A petty lot aren't they?
As someone who lived in Ireland for 3 years, I thought I was watching a documentary! I love the Irish, best place I ever lived! Best people I ever knew! If I could, I'd return to live there.
Go to Australia and see for yourself, you're the Polish of Australia. In fact, go to the US, Canada, New Zealand, UK, Spain,. You are the Polish of these areas. Come to think the terminology would be, you are refered as the floodgate.
And the Polish are building Ireland. What do you think you are from Luxembourg? You have no morals, you are in the same pot as a Polish, you are both hard working immigrants. The Polish work hard just like The Irish do in Australia. So what's your point? You built Australia? Yes, but by force, did you ask the aborigines? And before you start saying that I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm Irish-Spanish, by blood, currently living in Ireland for most of my life. I could also tell you that The Irish didn't build Spain and there are more Irish in Spain than Spanish in Ireland and there are 40 million more Spanish than Irish and still Irish are in greater numbers in Spain. Then you're going to say that Most are retired contributing to the local Spanish economy... Less than half of Irish residents are retired and the ones who are retired are using the better Spanish healthcare system. Then you are going to say that by EU treaty, the Irish government pays the medical bills to the Spanish healthcare system. Yes, but that doesn't take away the fact that local Spanish have to wait longer in lines and waiting lists, they are creating nuisance to the locals. A Local needing surgery and an Irish pensioner is before her. Know your place and know your roots and your current status, because now the Irish are migrating in batches everywhere.
Den Byrne im irish too but i didnt really think it was very funny, the first minute was good then it jus went downhill after that to me, a little unrealistic, the builders should be drinking tea and eating sandwiches while watching the guy work xD
As an American mutt with a lot of Irish (and English and Welsh) in me, it's a little bit relieving to hear that Irish people can relate in the comments here, hahahah. Because I can relate too. Like if I've come home and the boyfriend's vacuumed, I'm like 'holy shit it's a new house!!' And the superstitiousness of it all. Like, if a picture's been hanging in the same place for forever, and the person who put it there isn't around anymore, then it just feels WRONG to move it. I live in an old house, and care more about small things more than anyone probably should.
What's his name in the denim shirt did probably the best Irish accent I've heard from an American. It wasn't perfect but it was pretty good. I love that they actually used the RTE 2 logo.
I had to watch the sped up part like 5 or 6 times it was so fucking funny! I couldn’t stop giggling at watching them dance, the mother giving birth, and then they continued to dance holding up the baby while the mother slammed the bottle of whiskey! That was the funniest SNL sketch (post 2000) that I’ve ever seen! I never laugh at newer SNL but this one was pure comedy gold!
I think Seth's sketches are always funner than his weekend update. I didn't know about that how funny his sketches are until I found this channel. I want to see his acting in sketches more.
I can't quite work out why, but I really love Seth Meyers with an Irish accent.
I want to fight him, in a sexy way
That accent is not Irish. I was born there. And raised there. And have a Irish accent. And that... is not a Irish accent.
@@medb7775 I've never even been to Ireland and still I'm not convinced either...
OddUndeniably an Irish accent ? That for sure ain’t an Irish accent
It's hot
I'm Irish.
I was raised in an Irish family and I can tell you.This is a 100% accurate and hilarious.I love the potato organizer
Neeson saying "Ahh that's a friend." is my favorite thing ever.
That line is the reason I look up this sketch every 6 months or so.
oh you're my brother now
Omg! Didn't catch it the first time. That was hilarious!😂😂😂
“I’ll shut my mooth when I’m good and ready!” Props to Amy on saying “moo-th” instead of “mow-th”. 😅👌🏻
I liked the way this sketch avoided obvious Irish sterotyping.
Lol
It’s comedy
stayed undeniably human
AVOIDED IRISH STEREOTYPING?!?
BOY THEY WERE BASICALLY SHOWING MORE THAN JUST STEREOTYPING
It's *ok* to racist against whites. It's _actually_ good so it's called *reverse* racism 👍
The baby delivery in the middle was the best part
“Get out of me house ya thievin’ royalist bastards. You shan’t take this flat for the British crown!”
"You could say tanx" "ey I could but I won't" lmao
The only thing missing is a priest.
Baz The Storyteller together with children and even a baby? bad combination...
lots: Right? That boy looked to be about 12. Not a good age to be around a priest.
Opinunate ted Yeah, the priests usually prefer them to be a big younger.
Priest Vallon is literally in this skit!
Well, Liam Neeson actually voiced a priest on an episode of The Simpsons. Does that count?
ah man i love my country, we can take a joke and have a giggle at ourselfs! good clip well done
164 of your fellows disagree. ;)

As an Irish person I can confirm that this is UNBELIEVABLY accurate.
👏😹
I'm Greek--and they gave us the Olympia Cafe. It's a toss-up when you love the wit but may be..ambivalent? This one's even more hilarious.
Irish... ¿Person? 🤪🤪
bring it on you bastard!
Right down to the potato organizer? 😉
Why is this about wealthy Irish millionaires instead of common folk?
Paul Cooper oh!!! I laughed so hard I scared the cats! 😂😭😭🤣🤣
I, too, noticed the host saying, “We started by Emptying the ashtrays.” PLURAL!!!! Some people just have to go flaunting their wealth in front of everyone.
Bruce Chapman what about that mirror not being broken?!? Filthy aristocrats!
Paul Cooper 😂😂
Last I checked, Artemis Fowl was fiction!
Though if they did make a movie, maybe they could get Neeson to voice Cmdr. Root.
IKEA potato organiser - €7 for your very own SPØD
underrated comment
I need me a SPØD! 😆
That was funnier than this entire sketch
this documentary was a bit short
Looool!!! 😂😂😂😂
Priceless :D
LOL !!!
Your sense of humour is hilarious! Thought of going into comedy?
Ah cheers, Nah I only do it for fun yaknow? :)
Never laughed so much as when he said that Liam Neeson could go to the pub and then he'd just vanished. We've a similar cottage in the arse end of Roscommon that could do with a similar make-over...just don't touch the mirror!
"Arse-end of Roscommon"
gotta love that Irish slang XD
Dysart area, is it? Thought you said arse-end!
Up the rossies. Ros for Sam
UP THE ROSSIES FOR SAM LADS
is the mirror haunted?
The potato organiser from IKEA cracks me up everytime! I love it so much
Liam Neeson is amazing in this
Adebayo Akinfenwa, I agree. His Irish accent is top notch.
Liam Neeson is amazing in everything. Plus, he's actually from Belfast, Northern Ireland, himself. His Irish accent is actually just an emphasised version of his natural speaking voice!
Atraxus Wraithe He’s from ballymena is he not?
And he didn’t even have to use his particular set of skills.
Well of course he is Liam Neeson what you expect
Liam Neeson, a real Irishman with a fake Irish accent may be the 2nd best thing ever.
The 1st best thing would be a real Jeff Goldblum with a fake Irish accent.
M8 he is northen Irish not Irish
@@streamlabs7947
That does not make much sense there.
@@bighands69 Northern Ireland is part of the UK, Ireland is independent. They don't like each other...the IRA realllly doesn't like Northern Ireland being party of the UK.
People from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are both Irish.

With so many intense characters under his belt, one would assume that Neeson couldn’t possibly be funny, but he so is!! This clip is hilarious!
Have you seen his work with Ricky Gervais?
Pretty funny.
Rob riggle was my favorite part of that skit haha. "Bring it on ya bastard!". He was so unknown, I'm glad he got recognized.
That was the best bit for me as well. 👍
Rob Riggle would probably do okay in a fight---he's served in combat.
@@Daberneyhe was eventually a Lt. Col in the Marine Reserves. And according to his Wiki page he was awarded a Combat Action Medal, which means he was in the shit sometime before he made Captain, probably in Afghanistan.
It was strangely relieving that he wasn't afraid of him and even encouraged him to go on 😅😂
The way that they got drunk together wrestled each other got pulled off of each other hugged made up and than danced to a violin is so irish 🎻
she also had her baby, which called for more drinks
That’d be a fiddle
I've a cousin called Finn McQuinn 😂😂😂
Seriously???

When American people do irish accents they usually sound scottish, but Seth's accent was on point
I was talking about Seth's accent m8
Ah sure god love us all, don't we all sound like feckin twats half the bloody time
His accent was better than most, but it was still shite :P
Mohammed Hamza man I can't do an Irish accent without sounding scottish lol it's a tough one
So I'm just gonna be a dick here...I'm not taking the word of a man named MOHAMMED HAMZA on the accuracy of an Irish accent
Schlanta-wolliger, this is BRILLIANT!!!! Seth does make a great Irishman and I love the work crew's fast-paced drinking and jigging.
as an Irish person I can confirm that this is 100% accurate
Laura Holland except it's not 1847
Dylan Holland - wasn't much renovations going on in 1847 boyo
Eejit
As a non fellow American, I can confirm that you are the stupid one for not taking a joke and understanding sarcasm.
As an expat living in Ireland, I can confirm this is 100% accurate too. Jaysus. What are ya like?!?
“We started by emptying the ash trays”

I love how Amy starts drinking as soon as she gives birth
You see, it's full of truth.
I need a potato organiser
From Ikea no less.
The mirror part almost killed me, so it did!!!😂😂
Ah, yes, the potato organizer! One of many useful inventions brought to you by us Swedes through IKEA :D
I'm Irish and Swedish. Just loved this joke.
My grandparents all grew up in houses like that; in the 30's and 40's
The fiddle player just pops up! 🎻😂😂😂
I'm 100% Irish and I approve this message. It's funny chill out
I love the fiddle riff from "Morrison's Jig" during the construction montage.
Builders in Ireland and not one of them had a Polish accent: Very unrealistic.
+Paul Walsh I know right.

Coronavirus quarantine has me, "cover ya face lad".
Stay well. Can't wait 'til this is over so i can answer my door with "what's all this then?"
"Pat," not "lad."
To the people that say they have the worst Irish accents, at least it's better than Tom Cruise's
Liam Neeson is from Northern Ireland.......
Rebecca Fitzgerald what movie was that ??
There is no Irish accent worse than Tom Cruise. “Shannon!”
TheNeighborhood Watch “Far and Away” 1992 with Nicole Kidman. Truly jaw dropping how bad that accent was.
TheNeighborhood Watch p lol
All this did was make me love the Irish more than I did before.
As an Irish person myself I've never seen something so accurate
I love how Liam Neeson is probably just channelling his own dad lol
Actually looks just like my great-grandmother's childhood home (which is currently a birthing barn for calves).
Lads, whoever got those chairs, I think they're the ones from my granduncle's house, he might want them back.
Faithful re-enactment of actual Irish life.
Sometimes when I need to giggle and feel better I come back to this sketch. It makes me unreasonably happy.
seth with an irish accent ohmygod
I actually didn't recognise him until he said "all right all right!" and then it was double-take time.
I’m very Irish and I think this is positively brilliant and astonishingly accurate
There's so many non-Irish people being offended in your behalf in the comments.
@@CsykKrit mad funny though
When they broke into song and dance @2:04 I laughed so hard I thought I was dying.
Haha at the drunken hugging, spot on.
Rob Riggle's only line: "Bring it on, ye bastard!" ....Gold!
hahaha I love the 'RTÉ 2, Ireland's other television network'. Excellent!!
*****
and the British TV channels we piggybacked on !
***** I know I wish there were more Irish channels. No wonder our childers sound like Americans haha
This detail is 100% accurate.
This cracked me up but did you notice they said policeman instead of Garda?
Finally an Irish in the comment box :)
It’s only because it’d be lost on the American audience
@@fezzik7619 you're right but it still felt wrong 😂
Never saw this before. It's great. The baby reminds me of Monty Python.
Thats exactly how every day plays out in Ireland
Everything is more fun with Liam Neeson. I also liked the fiddler and the drunken brawl.
I like that he said there was a solarium lol.
Aww, every Irish person I ever met was adorable... even the angry ones!
Adorable?
They just played this on the 10pm rerun.. Great cast and I laughed out loud more than once during this sketch!
I lived in Ireland for 5 years.
This is exactly what it's like down there.
i´m offensive and i find this extremely irish
okkcomputer awesome lol
Best comment ever.
Why have I seen this before
Why are you offensive
Too me!
“It’s what the china men call ‘feng shui’” LMAO

Oh Seth! You are very convincing as an Irish gentleman.
I’m feeling homesick for my childhood home and neighbors. 😄
Liam Neeson isn't killing anyone in this scene
+Martin Rosenvinge he doesnt kill anyone in the schindlers list
+3awesome But he could've saved more
he´s kinda killing rob riggle at the end of the scene
Found the guy who commented before watching until the end.
Omg you guys are lost....
Fine
...."DING"
Wow, after seeing this I drove right down to IKEA and bought a potato organiser for every room in the house, and two for the kitchen
Keep the bag on the counter
I love Seth so much but seeing him act in a proper sketch is like seeing your teacher at the grocery store.
"Oh don't worry, it's free."
"So was his vasectomy, you see how well that worked out!"
2:06 Who knew Seth would later need those doula/midwifery skills?
Wow. I wish my house had a solarium...lucky Irish family!!
The potato organizer killed me.
As an Irish person - this was spot on.
Why is it that when I read the comments I hear an Irish accent in me head?!
im reading all of the comments in an irish accent. this weed is good.
Replace the Irish accents with Southern ones and the sturdy cottage with a trailer, you have my area of Afton, Oklahoma.
I am so proud!
As an Irish man myself, I can say I laughed my ass off! The presenter sounded a bit Canadian though
Seth Myers is from New Hampshire, which is almost Canada. Good ear, maybe.
I'm from Canada and I have to agree with this...east coast only though.
Amy Poehler's accent is brilliant! 🇮🇪
I died at the fast foward part xD Love Seth
I want that potato organizer NOW.
Seth's Irish accent wasn't bad at all, that's a hard accent to nail. It's clearly not his natural accent, but it's really pretty good.
Hahaha as soon as he heard pub he bolted LOL
whew seth looks great in this
I think Seth's sketches are always funner than his weekend update.
I didn't know about that how funny his sketches are until I found this channel.
I want to see his acting in sketches more.
Why does Liam have to be so handsome?! Darn you, Neeson!! 😂😩

I'm gonna keel da lot a ya.
Sad thing is I thought the house was pretty nice. Something like that in Canada is worth about 1.5 million these days.
sadly not an exaggeration
you can always move the chairs back and put the potatoes down and use the potato organizer for something else
Authentically there should be a bong smoking area on an irish construction site
Best home makeover ever.
