In all fairness, Leap Year was pretty horrible.

As a child I unironically loved that film but even then I knew the main actors Irish accent was absolute shite

I was just about to comment on how terrible that movie was but it seems I'm not alone in that assessment.

As a fan who ADORES Leap Year and will stand firm in it's defense... I was automatically thinking of it when seeing the title

Yep. That be it.😆

Not wholly true. Everyone is an aristocrat, except for the villain's hired goon who only speaks in grumbles, and wears a different sort of hat (or, if he's particularly rascal-ish, no hat at all) to everyone else Coming back a month later to add that this is definitely about Enola Holmes

@@CoRLex-jh5vx He's either a middle aged bald guy in leather or a scruffy young guy in tweed 🤣 Either way he has an entertainingly thick Cockney drawl

Yeah you're right, there are two flavours. Generally though if you live north of London and south of Berwick-upon-Tweed, then Hollywood doesn't think you exist (yes Wales that includes you). Same for Ireland if you live outside of Kerry.

@@peter3664 one of the clauses of the deal Wales made with Satan to steal Citizen Kane's Oscar and give it to How Green Was My Valley was that it would from thence forward no longer exist in Hollywood.

That line made me laugh so hard tears came out 😂🤣

Not Sean of the Connery’s? Wait…

I heard it was sold to Gwyneth's widower, that Welsh farmer that was in town for a few days.

You can’t call it a romantic comedy, but The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne is really good. It’s kinda old though. It doesn’t really have anything to do with this video, other than Romance, but it’s a great film.

It's making fun of this Amy Adams movie called leap year

@Mystical Squirrel hell yeah!

The Matchmaker staring Janine Garofalo.

So the matchmakers going on my list! And Leap year is great, the lead is the most obnoxious thing ever. But the guy is great, you know him, that guy who is always awesome but no one ever says his name!

Did... did he just tell her to go outside and touch grass?

@@valentinmitterbauer4196 Either that or knows where the good weeds grow, lol

But it does 😭 seriously all I have to do to cheer up is watch a travel show about Ireland and look at the green

Guilty of thinking if I just find prettier nature my mental illness will disappear lol

If you're looking to Ireland for a depression cure you probably don't know the Irish very well

Or a very large horse

Farm animals exist. Our heroine proceeds to scream and flay around in utter terror, falls in mud at least twice.

Gotta be an Irish Setter that was rescued from drowning in a ditch as a puppy, and the guy who rescued him got really sick, etc etc

​@@towelgirl21 An Irish Setter named Banshee to prompt a moment after the dog reveal where she can say "What a funny name, what does it mean?" then he can explain his Irish heritage to her, despite the fact everyone on earth already knows what a Banshee is.

I think that was implied.

😄😄

Next you'll be telling me that leaves aren't Ireland's national currency.

Yeah, rain doesn't grow on trees.

I was with you until the tea part. All American women in movies treat a cup of tea like it's an anti-depressant. But it only works if you hold it in both hands and breath deeply before you take every sip.

The irony is that Europeans are generally much less prudish about nudity than Americans, depending on the country of course

@@casperrabbit7254 According to Google, the only way to get to America via Exeter airport is to fly to Dublin first. Would be a funny twist if that was what happened

@@jacobgarby199 Omg!! I confused Devon with Dover.

I feel like I should be offended somehow, then I realize: A) you can't be racist against Americans, and B) I would actually not be willing to make a bet that one of the 330,000,000+ Americans from every country on earth *isn't* named "Corndog."

And apparently "commonest" is a word we definitely use. Mr. Webster would like a word with you, sir.

Could make for some great double-barrel names for the romcomette offspring. "Conchubhair Corndog Ó Muircheartaigh" would trip right off the tongue.

You mean directing?

Every film set in Ireland has to have a Gleeson, or Colin Meaney. Brendan Gleeson gets into a lot of movies.

I'm pretty sure this is ragging on that movie leap year and Matthew Goode is the male lead...he's not Irish.

I assume the misspelling is intentional.

I was thinking Liam Neeson.

@@SImonDeLikaeble If you happen to like Brendan then you must watch "The Guard". Absolutely hilarious portrayal of an Irish village cop and his dealings with the FBI...

@@alcohol-freebeer3642 When they transform into a beautiful swan Lol.

@@folkme3042 Only in Ireland 😎

@@alcohol-freebeer3642 I was just about to write that!

I once spoke to a -German- American on Omegle. (I no longer visit that website, it's too difficult to find a normal person.) I had "German' in my interests and he had that too. I said to him; 'Ah, wie geht's dir?' He replies; 'Oh whut..haha, what's that' I say; 'Oh...don't you speak German?" He replies; 'Nah man I don't speak that shit hahah. I'm a German American, like half German.' I said; 'Oh...your mom was German or something? She never taught you German?' He said; 'Nah, my grandpa from my dad's side came from Germany when he was a little boy. He taught me like...Hallo and Gutentag and shize.' I said; 'Do you mean scheisse? Like, shit?" He said; 'Yeah hahah. I don't speak German often and he's been dead for ages. But I do like Germany, a lot.' I said; 'Oh nice, where did you visit?' He said; 'Oh no, I didn't visit..I wanna go backpacking around Europe one day, but like, only been to Florida so far. I will go past Germany as well, I think, after I visited like the big ones in Europe." I said; 'Oh..okay...so..what do you know about Germany then?' He said; 'Well, like..maybe wooden clocks or something. They've got those. And like..meat. And sauerkraut, I do know that one." I said; 'Do you want me to teach you some phrases or..funfacts? Easy ones?' He said; 'Nahw man, I don't care hahah, but like..it's kinda cool I guess, being German and all, but like, nah.' I said; 'But you're an American :P Not a German. He said; 'German American ;-) I'm part German. I said; 'Well, alright, was nice talking to you, bye.' It wasn't nice talking to him at all.

You wanna know why so many Americans with Irish blood have a tacky understanding of heritage? Because most Irish Americans are White and White people aren't allowed to celebrate themselves as White people. So they accept a part of their heritage they know nothing about instead of being guilty for shit they never did.

@@Widdekuu91 Ugh those type of people are the worst, like bruh what's the point of telling people that you're mixed when you're just using it to brag, like if you don't know the language or don't live that lifestyle atleast learn and read about it.

Its a very very common thing to want to be part of a "group" ALL humans can be that way. Having heritage is a valid thing, but in the U.S. its super common for people to exaggerate because being an American isn't really a thing, outside of nationality and some decently but not as developed cultures like cajun and so on (due to the very small amount of time between Americas birth and globalization). Its the mindset of wanting to be "in that group" which leads people to say that sorta stuff. It does need to be said though that being from a certain country doesn't give one an authority on what heritage or culture someone else is a part of. That's a general statement though as it happens everywhere.

I’m fully Irish living in North America and so many people tell me the likes of “oh yeah I’m part Irish! My fathers uncles sisters grandfathers 27th cousin twice removed’s friend lived in Dublin for half a year!”

This is so funny so it has to be true! (myself: descendant of the diplomatic and refined vikings)

What kind of slosh do you drink. My favorite mix is Red Bull with Glenlivet.

It’s Hallmark.

I recently found out that they make movies, not just envelopes. I always find the envelopes in the thriftshop, they're quite sturdy. I never buy the cards.

Actually that means you've developed an Irish accent! ;)

The island of Hegg lies half-drowned and wind-battered, the furthermost drop of the outermost spray of the curling wave of the Outer Hebrides. I love that movie 🤣

I am not one who partakes in soppy, straight or straight-laced, Hallmark-ish romcoms... but Decoy Bride was just stupidly entertaining. I've seen it probably 10 times. But the, I love David Tennant and Kelly MacDonald has THE best voice and accent on the planet.

You have to suspend your disbelief with these films.

I know there's one about Hilary Swank's husband dying and so she goes to Ireland or something. I only saw the last five seconds and the credit scene but this feels accurate

Daniel's daughter was another one.

I've seen similar films where the woman goes to england or scotland as well

I’ve seen a trailer for Wild Mountain Thyme, with yer man from Fifty Shades. It looks awful. And his accent is dreadful. Which is strange, as he is actually Irish.

The Matchmaker, with Janeane Garofalo. She's sent to prove that a US politician has Irish roots and falls for a bartender named Sean.

Careful now...

Yeah, my 3rd Great Grandmother came from County Cork to New York as an indentured servant. It was the same as being a slave, except that she was free after 6 years. And people wonder why the Irish Americans get in a fight at the drop of a hat, and drop the hat themselves if no one else does it.

This skit also describes movies like the matchmaker (90s)

Your description of biking coast to coast now makes me want to go there more than ever (from US).

@@stephaniecarrow4898 Just to put it in context, I rode from Dundalk not far from where I live on the east coast to the seaside village of Strandhill close to Sligo town in the west. It is more or less straight across the narrowest part of Ireland so that was one major advantage for me although moderately hilly. I'm not an athletic cyclist and I wasn't riding a fast bike. It took me about 10 hours of pedalling with four or five hours of breaks and stops in between. As much a mini tour as a long commute. Twice as far as I'd ever ridden before and it took me two days to get over it. But for a fitter more experienced cyclist it wouldn't be too much of an ordeal. I just wanted to prove a one off personal point to myself.

Damn Ireland is tiny

I was once at a T junction where the sign said 7 on one side and 8 on the other. Both going to the same place. I love Eire.

Just count yourself lucky that no one in the US is of English descent - except perhaps a rich baddie or two. Oh, and the man who by some terrible accident, becomes King.

Of course, this must be the reveal at the end of the movie! The handsome Irish guy's middle name turns out to be Blarney and his surname is gaelic for stone - so she did kiss the Blarney stone and got lucky! (No it doesn't make a link of sense but the script was written by an American) 😂

@@MariaVosa Good auld Padrig Séamus Blarney Cloch. The soundtrack would have to include a trad version of "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk. (Just please don't let Macklemore in on it!) 😆

There was a fairly recent (2020) film titled Wild Mountain Thyme (after the song) starring Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan. It's a very strange rom-com set in Ireland.

The Matchmaker, with Janeane Garofalo. She's sent to prove that a US politician has Irish roots and falls for a bartender named Sean.

Breakfast on Pluto is one of my favorite Irish films - though it's not a romcom and does have a tiny bit of Troubles stuff.

There's a YA one called Finding You, based on a novel by a writer I really like (Jenny B. Jones), but I'm not going to even risk watching it. Not a fan of Hallmark-type movies. It's got a 5.2 rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

She quit her job as a stripper to do this so it must be paying well.

Leap Year and Finding You I think are the two this was most inspired by, it's also a popular romance novel trope
