When Irish People Cant Speak Irish - Foil Arms and Hog

Imagine he is innocent, but his directions to the post office were vague enough that they found the bodies

[monika]

Would you like ice cream?
- Ice cream?
ANSWER THE QUESTION!
- I'd love it! 😂😂😂

[frogtownroad]

“Would you like some ice cream?”
Criminal’s mind: These are nicest cops ever

reminds me of a story i got told in ireland: there was a succsessful barkeeper in america leading an irishpub always bragging about him being such an irishman and fully knowing gaelic. when an actual gaelic speaking guy went to his pub they started talking in gaelic. The barkeeper only knew the "our father" in gaelic though, so when he was asked a gaelic question he answered in the first rhyme of it. The irish lad quickly understood and proceeded the prayings next verse, on wich the barkeeper could answer in the next one and so on making it look like an actual conversation. the irish lad got all his drinks for free on that night and didn't tell anyone.

Basically 13 years of Irish education summed up in a minute and a half

[annonimooseq]

“Do you know any foreign languages?”
“Well I’ve taken Mandarin at school for ~6 years I guess”
“Oh so you are conversational?”
“I know 20 words and can write 8 of them”

Years later, it still cracks me up every time when he starts listing the days of the week and has to give up after Wednesday 😂

[MiloMcCarthyMusic]

The way the English guy kept calling it “Gaelic” even after he was corrected is spot on lmfao

[DavidNwokoye]

😂😂😂😂 That interrogation sounds like my Irish oral exam.

[featherlessbiped]

-"Me, you, he, she..." -"Them!" -"He's cooperating!" This cracked me up 😂😂😂

Reminds me of the story that my Manx Dad and Grandad were on a train in the UK in an old style compartment. Two people came in and started speaking in Welsh. So Dad and Grandad spent the rest of the journey saying Hello, Merry Xmas and Good Health to each other in Manx for the rest of the journey.

it would've been incredibly funny if they somehow made the misunderstanding coincidently lead to actual crime, leading to Detective Moran being praised for his good work.

This is basically what the Irish educational system teaches you, vocab, not the actual language

[blanko]

Do Irish for ten years then fail ordinary level. That's a real Irish gamer move.

[TheAtlarchy]

I love the fact that the accused one realised that the other one didn't know Irish good enough and played along just to not embarass him xD

[volantiad]

Studying Swedish on Duolingo and feeling the same pain: I can tell you that "The yellow hat is on the tortoise between the restaurant and the bear, " etc.

[s.gabriel]

I want a whole show based around this non-Gaelic speaking Irish policeman.

[TheQuestionmarkstudi]

When you say you speak a language, and people think you’re fluent in it..

[christinaribena]

I’m Welsh and this is how my Welsh language skills would also fair with a fluent speaker…although I’d probably still be able to ask the questions to the suspect I think! I loved this, the days of the week bit got me!!! 🤣

[opiedopie]

I like how the guy supposedly doesn't understand English but knows the guy said "lovely to meet you" 😂 great sketch
