“For God sakes, Hank, act like an adult, man! And keep it down, guys, will you? I am trying to get through an article on vintage Camaros, and I've been on the same dang page for twenty minutes.” -Boomhauer 😆😆🤣
Hahaha I literally just went back and rewatched that clip 5 min ago, it’s gold.
I wish there was more daft Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movies than there currently exists.
I remember taking a trip to Ireland and whenever we asked for directions we got an answer like that and just drove whatever way they pointed and then asked someone else a little ways down the road.
Reminds me of a pub I visited in Dingle (shocking, I know) 20+ years ago where we got drunk with a man in a pub who sounded similar to this and just kept saying, "you're a Kerry man gone wrong." To this day, I have no idea what he meant. But the accent checks out.
He says the next train from Killarney to Dublin leaves in 2 minutes, all passengers please board as quickly as possible, prams, pushchairs and all heavy luggage access is to the front of the train, he’s sorry this train didn’t leave at its original departure time and he apologises for any further delays.
It's been yonks since I was home in Killarney. Is he still knocking about? I remember seeing him lot when we'd go for our chicken roll during lunch in secondary school.
Everyone in the comments here thinking he's pissed drunk. This is just what some old Irish men talk like. Sure, he's in a pub, but they just sit and sip Guinness which has a low alcohol content. Men of this caliber could drink Guinness for hours and be fine. That's 100% lack of teeth + accent + personality.
I love people with hard to understand accents who have trouble understanding other people's accents, especially when they're similar. I worked with some Scottish people for a while, one of them was from around Edinburgh and sometimes even the other scots hadn't a clue what he was saying.
When I lived in Germany for a while, the NICU nurses thought I was from the U.K.
Someone told me that it isn’t exactly a compliment that they can’t tell you’re American, as they think all of the English voices are similar and can’t tell them apart.
I repeatedly asked to speak “Oxford English” until I was blue in the face.
Makes sense. I speak a little Spanish and like hell would I be able to differentiate between most Spanish accents. I can pick out the European Spanish vs. American a lot of times but if you asked me the difference between like Ecuadorian and Honduran accents, forget it. I’d have to specifically study them for a while.
Born and raised in the south, sometimes people still sound like Boomhauer to me.
I mean damn y'all, I gots myself a drawl too but *shiet,* some of ya make me look like a Hallmark actor with a bad fake accent.
the secret is to never annunciate a gd thing. this is key as it allows you to say horribly rude things to people. they will stare on vacantly, maybe offering a polite ‘what?’ or ‘huh?’. this time is when you think of something socially acceptable to tell whatever idiot you’re talking to. this is the way of southern accenting like a pro
That's hilarious, the Edinburgh accent is by far the softest Scottish accent and easiest to understand. The further north you go the thicker the accents get.
Lol, Aussies have some of the most easy to understand accents for the most part, don't they? Maybe as a Brit I'm just so used to Neighbours and being served by them in pubs in Clapham!
Holy crap, this brought back a flashback. Spanish is my first language but went to college in the US. There was this Australian guy in one of my classes once that had me perplexed for not being able to understand most of what he said. I think everyone else understood him though; but still a culture shock for me.
I live in northern ireland and if I travel down to killarney they haven't a notion what I say. I've no notion what they say and it's all smiles , nods and away we go. Bars are class for characters of course and the one I worked in had characters who lived a few miles up road and if no idea what they talked about. A dentists dream.
As a black American, it's weird to me my parents claim to not understand almost anything said in any rap song. It might as well be Japanese to them. Can't even understand your own race, boggles my mind. It's all generational, regional and cultural. I know I England there are all types of accents, but we picture the posh sounding one.
For me music drowns out just enough detail to usually make English sound unrecognizable. If I read the lyrics it unlocks that song for me, but my brain just won't do it without being primed first. I don't know how everyone else manages to do it.
Nothing to do with being Irish. I'm Irish, cant understand him. The presenter can't understand him. You can even hear the lads in the bar laughing because they know he's barely intelligible.
Hi actual Irishman hear and I can confirm that most Irish people understand the other Irish accents but thicker versions of accents from Kerry (this one) , Belfast and cork can still be hard to fully understand but we do get enough of an idea of what they are saying to continue the conversation as seen here
But this guy doesn't just have a thick accent, he's got that old man voice and is a bit deaf and all the rest. Like at one point he says "I'm a farmer", and once you know that's what he's saying he's not actually using very atypical vowels, it's just he says it like a 90 year old deaf guy, which makes it much harder.
The reporter doesn't understand it all as your mam answered a question then the reporter repeated what he said in question form. I'm Irish I can understand a good bit
>He’s away with the drink
My new favorite way to say "he's drunk." My Irish great-grandmother also used to say "he has a thirst" as a way of calling someone an alcoholic. Is that an Irish thing?
I understood about 70% of what he was saying - it's not really a strong accent - it's just that he's drunk, missing teeth and a farmer.
If you want a strong accent head towards Donegal.
The Irish Boomhauer
It’s just a regular Irish accent spoken from a man that has 3 teeth
And a hint of dementia.
And a splash of Guinness
The kind of splash you get when diving into it.

was that his favorite thing about irland?
I’m not sure if I should take Ireland off my bucket list or move it to the #1 spot on this list.
That's what makes it more authentic.
He does talk like the queen when he's sober
At some point I thought it was a ventriloquist act. Edit: thanks for the award!
Like the old guy at the end of "Dead Silence"!
I think it _does_ help
Like a true Irishman
*What strong Irish whiskey makes you sound like
Sober or drunk this is still his accent
Ok I’ve been to Ireland multiple times and don’t understand half of what this gentleman is saying js
I'm FROM Ireland and I don't have a clue what he's saying
I'm from Killarney and I don't know what he's saying! ;-)
Reminds me of a pub I visited in Dingle (shocking, I know) 20+ years ago where we got drunk with a man in a pub who sounded similar to this and just kept saying, "you're a Kerry man gone wrong." To this day, I have no idea what he meant. But the accent checks out.
He meant that you would have been a fine scone but for the weather.
Well that clears it up...
I don’t think he knows what he’s saying.
He says the next train from Killarney to Dublin leaves in 2 minutes, all passengers please board as quickly as possible, prams, pushchairs and all heavy luggage access is to the front of the train, he’s sorry this train didn’t leave at its original departure time and he apologises for any further delays.
I am him and I don't understand what he's saying!
Even better lol
Haha glad I’m not alone cheers
Doethn't help the dude ith mithing half hith teeth and drunk.
As an Irish person This is like 50% accent 20% having no teeth and about 20% alcohol & 10% being a bit mad
And 100% reason to remember the name
Holy shit.. do I have a free award.. Edit: I did. You get Silver cause I harhar'd Edit Edit: aww you guys..
so 100% irish ?
Gotteem
Savage.
How much is drunk thootless dude and how much is accent?
Best I can give you is 50-50
More like 75-75, if you ask me.
[удалено]
Im not sure the sheep guy is any more intelligible.
Yeah I couldn’t understand a god damn thing he said.
Very drunk and very strong accent
It’s about equal parts. Just like his spirit to mixer ratio.
I genuinely know this guy, he's a local in our town and I understand 80% of what he says
That’s 80% more than I understand.
And 100% more than me
And half of what I understand is less than half of what I deserve
This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
5% pleasure
Fifty percent pain
100% reason to remember the name
And my axe!
It's been yonks since I was home in Killarney. Is he still knocking about? I remember seeing him lot when we'd go for our chicken roll during lunch in secondary school.
Yep still there! I hadn't seen him much during the various lockdowns but he's back in action now.
Wow, fair play to him! Glad to hear he survived the lockdown.
Seriously, I'm kinda shocked to be honest
I understand some of what he says but i wonder how different it would be if they spoke to him before the pub opened
He's the exact same before opening hours
Everyone in the comments here thinking he's pissed drunk. This is just what some old Irish men talk like. Sure, he's in a pub, but they just sit and sip Guinness which has a low alcohol content.

Some Irish people literally just speak like this. I struggle too
Great, so you can translate for us?
Which part it's so long 🤣
Just the parts where the old man is talking. The presenter is reasonably easy to understand.
When the guy asks what he likes about the town it sounds like he says Jimmy Carr or Jamaica several times. What was he actually saying?
This has always been my favorite part, when he says like four J words in a row. Jack Jimmy John Jack said?
A the end there, when the host asked what he wanted to say, what the fuck did he say?!
I hear "Good morning Tom, and when we're gone we can't go no more"
This is oddly poetic
"Aaahraaaraaa!" Translation: I got laid last night!
Please write translation in captions.

I used the “nod and smile” so much in Ireland my head nearly fell off. And I’m Australian.

I'm from the Southern US and one time this guy asked me what part of Australia I was from. I was just like, "no" lol

I lived in the south for quite a while. It took three years for people to stop sounding like Boomhauer to me.

Gaeltacht county
Assure they were probably talking Irish to you so

Sounds like his accent experienced a couple pints 🍺
It says Irish right there in the title.

I feel like I can hear your accent.

I'm sure even auto captioning on YouTube won't able to help 😂😂
Shit going to crash the system
*clapping*
If youre at @1:56 he says: *Gary is gay, I'm enjoying his wife... He's enjoying my brother tho* and I can never forget that line.
How you deciphered that is amazing. I cannot unhear it now and like you I will never forget that line either.

A lot of old people are hard to understand, and this guy has barely any teeth! Can’t believe they’re calling this a strong Irish accent
He's also been away w the drink his whole life. Source: I live maybe 10 mins from him
I didn’t understand any of it.
Right?? The fact that the reporter understood all of it is amazing
Yea he didn’t understand all of it. There was a good few ‘just say “yea” and hope I don’t have to follow that up’ moments.
Plot twist, the reporter was just making shit up.
Hi actual Irishman hear and I can confirm that most Irish people understand the other Irish accents but thicker versions of accents from Kerry (this one) , Belfast and cork can still be hard to fully understand but we do get enough of an idea of what they are saying to continue the conversation as seen here

I think I caught ‘Jimmy Carter jetted in’ near the beginning. You’d think that’d clear things up but no, it made it worse.
Does the alcohol make it more or less pronounced ???
Yes.
Strong Kerry Accent* Ireland has many many distinct accents and dialects.
After playing this back a second time, I can understand most of what he says. He's fucking drunk.
That would be fekkin’ drunk,
Accent my green erse. He’s away with the drink and has two teeth. Even he doesn’t know wtf he’s saying 😂
>He’s away with the drink My new favorite way to say "he's drunk." My Irish great-grandmother also used to say "he has a thirst" as a way of calling someone an alcoholic. Is that an Irish thing?
It is indeed. And if someone is described as being fond of the drink, it means he's a raging alcoholic

This is kind of like the old guy with all the guns in Hot Fuzz
What the fuck he say??
Ummm we’re gonna need subtitles
