Transcript with great help from several comments! Slowing down to 0.5 x speed helps: 😊 Starting at 0:03: “I’ve never in my life have I seen such a crowd there today, and no matter which way you went… ‘tis amazing how the.. ‘tis amazing how the.. that he drew all the attention to him. Tis tis long and tis WIDE. You could never imagine he could come in there, but I suppose with the timing.. the weekend there… there was a southerly south-westerly wind there.. and a gale there and I suppose…Tis then he he he came in I’d say”

If the English language was a game, this man would be the final boss.

Dude's accent is so strong my sweet tea turned into a Guinness

I teach English. I used this wonderful speech for a listening test, as a joke, but I kept a straight face. One of my students cried. True story.

Man when he said " ahfafahiiatahjhwkshat" that really hit me in the feels.. god bless this man

I'm Irish and I understood about 15% of what he said.

It's amazing that he looks exactly as he sounds

"welahaphenfalagenwelgendethethede" Such amazing and inspiring words.❤❤❤

He really said 这是一条该死的大鲸鱼，我什至不知道它是怎么来的。恭喜翻译成功💀

Imagine doing the listening part of an IELTs exam and you encounter this guy speaking

If this man had a conversation with a Mississippi bayou farmer, it would rip a hole in the space-time continuum.

If your ever in ireland and meet a man who talks like this just reply with the word "Aye" after he talks lol

The closed captions need a raise

Just to clarify this is not Irish or Gaelic, he is speaking English with a very strong regional (Kerry) accent as well as him speaking very quickly.

Bro sounded so irish he sounded Chinese I'm dead 😭

The fact that subtitles are able to read some of the words is mind-blowing 😄

I tried google subtitles on that and it did incredibly well...with one sentence in the middle of the speech

Could you imagine him calling tech support?😂😂😂

This is where all irish accents come from. Every irish newborn is brought before this man so they can gain a tiny fraction of his power.

I like how KZfaq subtitles tried its very best and still probably got at least half the words right

everybody think they're fluent in english til they meet this man

I can still understand him better than when I try to call my credit card companies and talk to customer service.

I need more videos of this man to prepare for my ielts listening

English Listening Test in school be like

I could listen to this a thousand times and still couldn’t tell you a word he said

I could tell just from the thumbnail that this accent was about to be downright indecipherable

Thanks for adding subtitles.

bruh even the subtitles midway through the video were like hell nah I ain't dealing with this😂😂

I was working on a farm in Wexford for a couple of months (had to live in an English speaking country for a certain period of time as part of my English studies in Germany). Anyway, one day we drove down to Galway to a horse farm in order to bring one of our mares home. The farmer there had the craziest accent I've ever heard and I didn't understand a single word he was saying (and up to that point I thought my English was quite okay!). Back in the car, my boss Robert broke the silence by saying "Man, that guy should come with subtitles!" :D I was so glad that even an Irishman wasn't able to understand that Galway guy

I can finally understand what English sounds like to a non-english speaker.

This is what English sounded to me before learning it.

OMG i remember watching this episode and laughing soooo much lol!!!

Im a spanish native speaker, and i understood about -10000% of what he said

For the first time on one of these "hard to understand accent" videos, I honestly cannot parse what this man is saying lol, not even a few words. I have genuinely tried and tried so many times, but it is simply authentic god damned gibberish. It's stunning that this man and I both speak the same language of English, but a simple accent makes me wish this man could come with subtitles

Since i'm at a night shift, all work already done and because of a thunder storm we cannot do the rest me and my colleague are just chillin' and relaxing. I played the video over and over for god knows how long, wrote down every word and when I was ready I read the transcript in the comments. Counted the words and how accurate I was and even after literally millions of plays I ended up at 67,3% accuracy. Firstly, I don't know why but heavy Irish accent and old english are the two things I could listen to all day Secondly, that's how you kill time when you have 5 more hours to go with no work left :^)

The man even scratches his own head at the end trying to understand himself

0:02 "never in my life have I seen such a crowd up here" 0:15 " you could never imagine they;d be coming for this time of year, the weekend there was a rough(something) very windy" that's all I got.

Im irish and can safely say that this man is speaking his own language

i just played this on loudspeaker and my furniture started floating

"The listening test won't be that hard... It's my most comfortable non-native language..." The test:

My mum was from Kerry. She'd had the hard Kerry accent educated out of her, but my uncles and cousins spoke like this gentleman. Music to me ears.

As a non native English speaker, I feel like understanding this would mean absolute mastery of English. As of now, I understand "imagine" and that's it.

I worked a rig for a hitch on a Scottish Drill ship called the Jack Ryan, and every Sunday the captain would give an hour long safety meeting, and I could understand only about 10 minutes of the 60.

bro was spittin in a whole other language

This man has managed not only to sound aggressively Irish but at the same time look aggressively Irish lol.

'I never in my life seen such a crowd out there. And I'm around a few.. a good while now and .. 'tis amazing how the, 'tis amazing how the [gasp] that he drew all the attention on him. 'Tis long and 'tis wide (emphasis). You can never imagine that will come in there but I suppose it came in the weekend there, there was a southerly, a south-westerly wind there and a gale there and I suppose 'tis then he came in I'd say' Edit: his Irish name translated is James Pat O'Sullivan. Judging by the Gaelic spelling my guess is he speaks Irish day to day. I think that party of Kerry is a Gaeltacht area but someone might correct me on that.

I got "you could never imagine"... And that's it! 😂

He said something, that's for sure.

The reason this man's accent is so heavy is because English is not his first language. 😊His first language is Irish (gaelic). He lives in an Irish speaking part of ireland, on the iveragh peninsula in kerry and therefore grew up bilingually. The news reporter also recorded and broadcast a second interview with this man but in his own language of Irish , and it also included was an interview in the Irish language with a representative from the local public authority who are responsible for removing the whale

When an accent becomes a speech impediment. I dare say his Gaelic is perfectly understandable.

All I heard was “haayyy youuu guuuuyyysss”

I'm Irish and I don't even have a clue what he's saying, hopefully he doesn't summon a portal to the after life or something

I'm Irish and I'm only getting bits of it, and yes, he's speaking English.

It’s so strong even captions wont keep up

They could have used him to send top secret messages during WWII, he could have just read right off the script and a team of code breakers would have had an easier time breaking the enigma code or deciphering Navajo.

I thought this was Ellen DeGeneres before clicking

Even the subtitle couldn’t keep up😂

This man can hear thoughts.

All I got from that was He He (I think)

My dad worked with a lot of people from the middle east, asia india but he said that the hardest people to communicate with was the irish despite being one of the only groups of people he worked with that shared his language

bro even youtube's subtitles struggle with this man 💀

i bet he and xqc understand each other perfectly

In 1986 I worked on the World Finance Center with another Ironworker and he was from Ireland. Yup, they sound like this and have insane ideas about what's good weather.

He really turned it into it’s own language

If i ever had to imagine an irish person, that man would be the portrait

0:20 his eyes and mouth glowing as he speaks

The juxtaposition of the bold impactful announcer voice next to the scribbles of the Irish dialect is hilarious. It's like a whole other language.

Mans accent so strong not even the Closed caption option can keep up.

Type of video that ends up on everyone's recommendations 10 years later

i love how the YT translator gives up at certain moment lol.

This Archdruid ran ceremonies at Stonehenge during the Bronze Age, and speaks Gaelic so old he can converse with trees, bears, and his ancestor's spirits risen from the barrows of the Po valley.

This Man: *Talking* CC: “Am I a joke to you?”

nah he's speaking a whole new language at this point

I was picking up a hire car in Cork airport once, and whilst inspecting it for damage a man came over & started speaking to me in what sounded like Polish or Lithuanian. I said sorry I don't understand you. He kept on speaking at me & after a minute or two I suddenly detected a few words of English here & there. After another minute or two I realised he was just using a very thick rural West Cork accent & I then understood him perfectly!

My dad was from County Kerry and took me back there a couple of times when I was younger. I’m telling you I had a hell of a time understanding some of these folks. The speed at which they can speak combined with their accent made it very difficult. I would seriously have to concentrate and even then, there were times when I was only catching 1-2 words out of every 4.

Man sounds like a villager from Animal Crossing.

Broski looks like a meatcanyon character

He's also the most Irish looking man in the history.

Most intelligible kerryman

Teacher: The listening will be easy The listening:

Man looks like he's about to flap his ears and fly away. 😂😂😂

The placement of the reflection on the tv when it finally shows him is slightly terrifying 0:20

It must be scary getting into a verbal contract with this guy.

My late uncle joe spoke like that when i was young my dad had to translate nearly everything he said but as i got older i picked it up handy when going to some of the markets ahhhhhh the kingdom of kerry the jewel of Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

This man having a conversation with Gerald from Clarksons Farm.

Emm ??? What?? Kerry is hosting a lot of migrants... I hear..

Its like putting an Irish accent ONTO an already Irish accent

When he's good with words 😍😍😍🥰😚😚

LOL the subtitles makes it funnier

When a British soccer team was in the US, my husband and I couldn’t understand their English at all!! One guy from London stepped up to translate and said some were from the countryside.🤷🏻‍♀️🤔🇺🇸

My husband is from Belfast and when we used to go to visit his parents, he had to translate for me lol!

Bros accent is so strong he created a whole new language 💀

LOL I literally thought this was not in English and I was waiting for the "irish accent" then the video ended and I realized that was actually it

These Irish accents are puttin us Scots to shame, amazin stuff

This grandpa don’t need an alarm he can hear the sun come up in the morning.

Mumbles was my favourite Dick Tracy character.

"If I win, I get a caravan for me ma"

Switching the subtitles/closed captions option on just makes it even more hilarious 😂

Dudes ears receive signals from Voyager 1 🤯

Man just talked in Mar's Language and though we would not know.
