Never Take an Irish Person Literally - Foil Arms and Hog

My groupmate shows me that video for understanding Irish better but I've only new questions 🙃

Your best video

Timeless

When the other person is new to sarcasm:

Yeah having lived in Ireland for some years that's exactly how it is hehe:) Grand:)

😂

Was that a German accent? If so, the poor guy never stood a chance! XD

Seems like the way of talking is similar in India and Ireland

> got milk?

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THAT EXTENT BUT THANK GOODNESS YOU DID

This looks like me in my first job in Ireland... totally perplexed and brain glitched for like a month before I understood how Irish people work...

In the Midwest, here in the US, and it’s clear we’ve got a lot of Irish influence!

90% of that applies to Britain as well as Ireland

Anyone who is not from Ireland ... won't fully understand hahaha

You guys are the greatest! (And I mean that honestly)

Greeks have something similar.

This cracked me up too much 😂 just haha I'm not even Irish but this is too perfect like auntie Donna if they were dipped in Irish gel . .

а по русски magazine - это магазин.

For a person who wants to learn English used in Ireland, FA&H videos are very instructive and fun. I watch them repeatedly. Thanks from Japan!♥️☘️♥️

Please do some more countries. Love those!

So is this just that everything an Irish person says is sarcasm?

Missed the opportunity for a good ole "I will yea.."

I get the jokes but I would think it would be obvious that he's kidding.

That was so awesome! Thanks for making me laugh!!! 🤣🤣🤣

This really is less "don't take an irishman literally" and more "don't use sarcasm around germans"

"now in a while" has to be one of the most impenetrable idioms in the Irish dialect.

Outstanding lads!

OH boy, you had me in tears Never realised before how much the English could sound like the Irish. Having said that my great mama was Irish and two of my Nan's lodgers were as well. Still I always blame that one Irishman getting around England on a very fast bike - that's why there's s bit of Irish in all of us!

The light brown hair man has an indian accent😂

Was that Bewleys tea?

I’m from Oklahoma. A lot of us came from Ireland. This sounds like our sarcasm. Is it possible it was handed down, generation after generation, from Ireland?

My da's family is from Ukraine and mams' is from Ireland. I'm the first one born in America and I understood every word.

I had a crush on a guy at a job once and apparently instead of liking me back he thought I was mad. Turns out he only was staring and smiling because he had no fecking idea what I was saying to him....which he eventually admitted to me.

😂❤

Most of these translate well to Australian...

As a French, I empathize with the Irish lad.
We do the exact same thing and till now I had never realized that it was not a thing in a lot other country, the constant irony😂

Lol, you bring a serious straightforward German and an Irish man together 😂

Not an accident you used a German accent for the literal person?
I think it sounded German.

Spanner!
A tool?
😂
This guy gets it.

God!
Doesn't Olytico sound sexy!
?

Loved it 😂😂😂 funny cause I recognised some of our expressions in french

I kind of love this sketch

I can’t even take the joke because I get what the Irishman is saying! I realise now why people always hate me when I speak 😅😂😂

Im a irish person raised with a africa america dad and a very irish mom. My vernacular innmy head js absolutly wild. I had to learn how to talk plain when i worked retail lol

This is murder! 🤣

I don’t know who is foil, who is arms and who is hog? The favorite is the guy who is not in this script.

This is still great!

I'm American and I had this conversation with an Irish woman after a fire drill at my dormitory/block:

Irish Lady: Hey, what's the craic like?

Me: (*Why is she asking me what crack is like? I don't do drugs. Does she think I do drugs? And why ask me now?*)

Me: What?

Irish Lady: What's the craic? What's happening?

Me: Oh! Okay. Yeah a fire alarm went off.

First time I heard this elderly man from Cork reply to his wife's request to do some wee chores around the house with "I wll, yeah" and keep watching tv, I was a wee bit perplexed... Then I realised the profound existential implication of thet answer😂😂😂

By the way, a press is a cabinet😭

I understand every word. From hull.

Despite being a third and fourth generation Irish American (all my people were from Ireland), I now realize I've been speaking Irish all my life. I'm dying here!

I love how even just plain old sarcasm goes over the German's head

For a European guy is way more empathetic
