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 👍
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
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?
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
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.
"You could say tanx" "ey I could but I won't" lmao
“I’ll shut my mooth when I’m good and ready!” Props to Amy on saying “moo-th” instead of “mow-th”. 😅👌🏻
The baby delivery in the middle was the best part
IKEA potato organiser - €7 for your very own SPØD
underrated comment
I need me a SPØD! 😆
That was funnier than this entire sketch
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? 😉
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. ;)
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.
jpkjnn 252 people agree :)
Alexiosization what the fuck is wrong with you
@@Alexiosization Ya feckin' royalist swine!
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.
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.
I've a cousin called Finn McQuinn 😂😂😂
Seriously???
Ooh doo ya now?
Oh, you want a medal do ya?
i read that in an irish accent
@@lehnrik Oh! Givin' out medals, are ya?
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? :)
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!
The potato organiser from IKEA cracks me up everytime! I love it so much
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
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.
“We started by emptying the ash trays”
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?!?
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
I need a potato organiser
From Ikea no less.
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
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.
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."
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
The fiddle player just pops up! 🎻😂😂😂
“Get out of me house ya thievin’ royalist bastards. You shan’t take this flat for the British crown!”
Builders in Ireland and not one of them had a Polish accent: Very unrealistic.
+Paul Walsh I know right.
+Paul Walsh This was 2004, Before the flood gates opened
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.
juanchoja we built Australia, we were there for ages before the polish got here.
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.
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.
I thought this was a reality show from my house. 😰
I don't see any actual irish complaining.
@@GamesFromSpace Actually, there are now.
@@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?
Schlanta-wolliger, this is BRILLIANT!!!! Seth does make a great Irishman and I love the work crew's fast-paced drinking and jigging.
I love how Amy starts drinking as soon as she gives birth
When they broke into song and dance @2:04 I laughed so hard I thought I was dying.
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
Lads, whoever got those chairs, I think they're the ones from my granduncle's house, he might want them back.
Rob Riggle's only line: "Bring it on, ye bastard!" ....Gold!
seth with an irish accent ohmygod
Faithful re-enactment of actual Irish life.
I'm 100% Irish and I approve this message. It's funny chill out
As an Irish person myself I've never seen something so accurate
Aww, every Irish person I ever met was adorable... even the angry ones!
Adorable?
I love the fiddle riff from "Morrison's Jig" during the construction montage.
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 😂
Haha at the drunken hugging, spot on.
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.
All this did was make me love the Irish more than I did before.
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!
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
“It’s what the china men call ‘feng shui’” LMAO
Thats exactly how every day plays out in Ireland
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
Actually looks just like my great-grandmother's childhood home (which is currently a birthing barn for calves).
Love the use of Morrison's Jig
They just played this on the 10pm rerun.. Great cast and I laughed out loud more than once during this sketch!
"Oh don't worry, it's free."
"So was his vasectomy, you see how well that worked out!"
I died at the fast foward part xD Love Seth
They're all such good actors
“Solarium” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everything is more fun with Liam Neeson. I also liked the fiddler and the drunken brawl.
The potato organizer killed me.
Never knew that Seth was so talented ; I knew only he was very smart .
I like that he said there was a solarium lol.
"Yer my brother now" 😂
Hahaha as soon as he heard pub he bolted LOL
Wow. I wish my house had a solarium...lucky Irish family!!
Seth delivered her baby too 🍀😳😂🍀
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.
Seth Meyers
Quite late with this reply, but that was Rob Riggle.
Rob Riggle
Wouldn't mind if an Irish handyman who looked like Seth showed up at my door...
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"
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!
OMG, this was unexpectedly hilarious!
When Liam started getting huggy my blood pressure jumped like 30 points. I swear this lockdown shit's getting to me.
Do ya? WELL! Do ya?
"I'm gonna kill thalotaya" 😭
The point of good comedy is taking the piss. I'm irish and I think this is fantastic, to be sure.....
Haters, get over yourselves..
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
Why does Liam have to be so handsome?! Darn you, Neeson!! 😂😩
...just can’t help himself now, can he...??
@@suzannereilman4516 Ugghh, I know, right? Curse you, Liam the Irishman!!
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.
Seth looking hot with the tool belt
You don't know how long i scrolled to find a comment about that man's looks
Why is it that when I read the comments I hear an Irish accent in me head?!
Amy Poehler's accent is brilliant! 🇮🇪
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.
I always wanted to go to Ireland. I wonder if there really is a pub 5 minutes away from another pub.
There is but nowadays there is usually a wine bar and Thai fusion restaurant stuck in between. Sometimes the Thai restaurant sells wine after hours...seriously
Lol I like that Rob Riggle cameo “Come on ya bastard!”
It wasn't a cameo, he was a cast member.
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 like how Rob Riggle was ready to take Liam Neeson on lol
I’m feeling homesick for my childhood home and neighbors. 😄
How he kept a straight face with this!
im reading all of the comments in an irish accent. this weed is good.
I love how Liam's accent just fluctuates between Northern and Southern
FYI, Irish comics would make much the same jokes. Especially the "He's innocent! I swear he was with us all night!"
Don't hate this because SNL is from the States.
Best home makeover ever.
whew seth looks great in this
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.
Omg Liam!!! 🥰♥️😘 God bless him, I love the man!!
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.
2:33 ... Should have said "garda"
Amy Poeler, a genius! 👏
I just adore Liam!
My grandparents all grew up in houses like that; in the 30's and 40's
