    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?

      +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.

    • @Garrett1240
      @Garrett1240 Před 7 lety +65

      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.

    • @jabroni8845
      @jabroni8845 Před 7 lety +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 Před 7 lety +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 Před 7 lety +105

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

    • @EveryTongueShallTell
      @EveryTongueShallTell Před 7 lety +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
      @cazfloss1990 Před 7 lety +21

      Coming from England myself, I find the Irish traveller quite hard to understand but you know immediately the difference between an Irish person and an Irish traveller - if that makes sense.

  • @ivanduvok

    Was Sean Connery in the untouchables meant to be Irish? I can't remember. I don't even think he knew. "So i'm playing a Scotsman living in Chicago am I?"

    • @derekhand6480
      @derekhand6480 Před 8 lety +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 Před 8 lety +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.

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.

      Real Irish accents are varied but some things remain the same throughout the different dialects. My father, God rest his soul, pronounced "potato" "puhdaydah, just as some of the folks here do. I think where Americans err in trying to do Irish accents is by making them too lilting, e.g. like the leprechaun on the Lucky Charms cereal commercials.

    • @owenzey
      @owenzey Před 8 lety +60

      +ieatpilli yes, yes and yes :) he made the classic hollywood mistake of trying to do what we call a 'stage Irish' accent. but then again in fairness to him, he was playing a character from 150 years ago. any contemporary Irish accent wouldn't have been accurate either. a lot of famine refugees in the 1840's didn't speak English so they had no accent in English, and if i remember the movie correctly his character was supposed to have been born in America and raised in an Irish ghetto, so who knows what sort of a hybrid mix of accents his character should have had. Daniel De Lewis was slated by critics for his accent but the research team put a lot of effort into trying to recreate a NY accent from the 1800's. A very nasal high pitched accent where he inhales rather than exhales when speaking probably was consistent with the early NY accent.

    • @ieatpilli
      @ieatpilli Před 8 lety +13

      owenzey That's a fair point you make. Actually, now that I think about it, one of the "gangs" that was introduced through Leonardo's narration was said to have come from somewhere deep in the Old Country, and that none of the other gangs (Irish included) could speak with them. That probably is the most accurate of them all.
      All the same, that's one of my favorite Scorsese movies.

    • @owenzey
      @owenzey Před 8 lety +6

      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 Před 7 lety +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.
