Well lads, I suppose it’s nearly time now to start thinking about the Leaving Cerificate. Christ almighty the biggest load of codswallop, they all sweating about it. And says I “The less you think about a thing the less you have to worry about it”.
He said books at one point
How cannu not underschtandim?
Arru thick or schumthin?
Diddu not do yur leavin schert?
I understood at least 70% of it and I’m English, I did 6 years in West Cork and the accent sounds familiar
What’s to not understand? Sounds like a Pat Shortt skit.
I can understand it all, but his impressions veers into indian a couple times
From what I gather
The leaving cert is coming up but this fine gentleman is foregoing the anxiety his fellow classmates are succumbing to.
He’s not really one for the books as clearly stated and I only particaly picked up the part about the violent murder at the end.
I can understand him perfectly
Is he impersonating an aul boy from….. Kerry?
Route 94? I’m back, trying to suss out yokes in Sense all over again…
I could, but I’m not arsed. But I would love if someone over translated it into a overly posh British accent
That young feller is talking about how it’s time for him to get his leaving certificate from school and that he’d rather just have a good time at school. Also that he may get his head driven through a table and also has to go to the post office on Thursdays. My kid was yelling so I couldn’t catch the rest.
Yer some yoke all the same
A good Cork man, easy to understand if you’re Irish.
He’s doing a really terrible attempt at a rural Kerry accent, I would say specifically West Kerry if I had to really pinpoint what he’s trying to do!
West Cork bai!

Christ, if you played the video without seeing the youngfella you’d swear it was an ole fella in a pub from the back arse of nowhere sipping an ole Gunness with his ole as tea collie dog sitting by the fire.
He’s talking about school and the leaving cert. coming up. He’s not one for the books. He goes to school for the craic. There’s a fair amount of craic. No bother if ya fail the leaving cert. Go into the post office every second week for the dole. There’s nothing wrong with that, he says.
Nobody can tell me our accent hasn’t rubbed off on the Caribbean’s somewhere along the line.
Hard vowels and rhythm very similar.
I wish I didnt understand it cause not 1 bit of it is funny……
u/savevideo
I understand everything he said the first time round. Must be a culchie
you’re not Irish if ya cant understand that, we had a load of lads from west clare when I was in school, back in the 90’s this remined me of them haha
Is this supposed to be funny? Genuine question.
As someone who’s been to Kerry a bunch, I’ve met this character countless times lmaoo.
Anyway here’s a transcription:
“Well lads, I suppose it’s nearly time now to start thinking about the leaving certificate. Christ almighty, the biggest loads of cod’s whallop they all sweating about it. And says I, the less you think about a thing the less you’ve to worry about it! By god ‘tis true.
I wouldn’t be a man for the study now or the books or any of that, I wouldn’t be great at it. But by god, huh? For me ‘tis only a matter of going into school and having as much craic as you can have in the day! Christ almighty, that’s what ‘tis all about is the craic.
And the – huh? Christ don’t mind them bloody books there. I – huh? And some lads they’d ____ the books off their plate(?), however they do it. Christ, I wouldn’t last 5 minutes there now, sitting down there now studying, I’d have my head driven through the table is where’d I’d be. Christ almighty, by god… t tuh tuh tis good craic inside the ____. You wouldn’t bait the craic now at all there I’d say.
Christ almighty, sure if worst came to worst anyway if ya fail the leaving cert, we can go into the – into the post office every second Thursday morning for the dole. Christ, there’d be nothing wrong with that either!”
