When someone says they are a descendant to the heir to the throne its time to stop watching

[jasminexo]

As an Irish citizen born to two irish parents and raised in Ireland this was extremely cringey to watch lol

*UR NOT IRISH IF YOUR GRAND UNCLES GOLDFISH LIVED DOWN IN KILKENNY*

[e.]

There’s so much more to being irish than a bit of DNA

[pingu]

"my mum did a dna test and found out she was 50% english 50% irish" did she never meet her parents??

[erinnichinneide]

They forgot the fadas. That changes the pronunciation

[emma]

-“are you culturally Irish?”
- “i have green hair”

[orlaithsmith]

“If there’s anything I know about Gaelic, it’s that the letters do not correspond to the sounds”
Well actually, they do, the letters just make different sounds in Irish than in English.
It’s almost like looking at a Korean character and saying “That looks like an S, therefore it must make that sound.”
No it doesn’t, it’s a different language so it makes an R or an L sound.

[annamccormack]

“I’m a descendant of the duke -“ *ALARM BELLS*

[emma]

If they’re Irish then I’m Italian because i just had pizza

[unteriun]

This is just kinda demeaning for actual Irish people

[Jimboy]

By “Irish Americans”, presumably, you mean “Americans who are distantly related to Irish people”.

[sweetie]

"I do drink a lot of beer though"

Well that's not offensive

[lipstickytoffee]

Americans* Test Their Knowledge Of Ireland

[DyslexiaSkucs]

1:53 the Irish language is not called gaelic. 🤦‍♂️

[julieeeer]

“The snakes were Protestants”
Dying! 😂

[laurendoyle]

The first girl who popped up on the screen said her mum was 50% irish and 50% english meaning her parents were from Ireland and England. Would you not know that with out taking the dna test ?

[katieward]

literally none of them are irish they know nothing about ireland and can’t even pronounce ireland 😂 this pisses us irish all off

[eoghanodubhain]

If you dont know Ireland's national language is Gaeilge your definitely not Irish.

[seeminglyatom]

Fun Fact

If you like Halloween you should thank the Irish people for it

[chxxrlo]

americans: "im irish my great great grandad is from Ireland".
also americans: "wait st patricks day isn't just about beer?"
