Jacksepticeye Fails St. Paddy’s Day Quiz! | Brain Leak Ep. 49

[@beta2442]

As an Irish person, can confirm, Seán still sounds Irish and is still the pride of Ireland on the internet. 🇮🇪👍

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

I honestly think Seán is being too hard on himself. 😢 Not only can I still hear his accent, I swear that Evelien has picked up his brogue a bit. 🍀🤗🤗🍀

[@beta2442]

Just realised Ethan said to say something in the most Irish way possible so here goes.... Would ye goway outta that ye mad eejit sure ye sound like ye just walked off a GAA pitch somewhere, chicken roll in one hand, club rock shandy in the other, suckin' diesel cause your hard work paid off and you're making your country proud.

[@Dont_talk_to_me1]

@@beta2442 Honestly, just looks like you combined a bunch of random words to make a sentence. 🤣

[@sarazapata4621]

Sean's "not a cannibal" talk is giving Mark's "totally not a masochist" vibes

[@ravens_tale]

What the hell is Seán talking about? He DOES clearly have an Irish accent. You can hear it on almost all his words. Yeah, it’s a little bit fainter compared to someone who’s lived in Ireland their entire life, but it’s still clearly there. You’re too hard on yourself, Seán!! Much love to ya🫶🇮🇪

[@SnugglySepticEye]

Agreed! Love when he says words like heart. The r’s are so Irish! ☘️

[@chipcriz]

When Ethan tried to say "boys" in an Irish accent at 07:12 he pronounced the Swedish word for 'poop' perfectly, and I almost fell off my chair laughing

[@alitasdepollo2752]

Similar vibe to the old if you say ‘beer can’ in a British accent it sounds like bacon in a Jamaican accent

[@caleblawler2819]

The irony that Sean thought we hated his Irish gladiator blood, but really, it's why we're all still here 💚🤍🧡

[@SnugglySepticEye]

We love our man. Our Irish king!!! 💚🧡🤍

[@kevinmorrice]

knew an irishman who "lost his irish" as he put it, he said to me "soon as you stop living in ireland, thats when the irisih in you goes out the window and then your just a guy with a funny accent"

[@vi5692]

Moving out of a place, your national identity straight up doesn’t get on the plane with you, it’s WILD.

[@kevinmorrice]

@@vi5692 you only have your national identity in your home country, outside of your home country your just "person A from that country B"

[@Linn-tw6wl]

Seán is Irish enough for my 83 year old nan from Boyle, country Roscommon, who asks me to put jacksepticeye videos on whenever I'm watching youtube around her because his accent reminds her of home and so that she can make sure I don't lose my Irish-ness from watching British and American people. (She is deaf as a post bless her so I'm not sure she can make out what he's actually saying apart from his accent).

[@rhiannanpierce3205]

This is so wholesome thank you for sharing 💖🥹

[@merrillsunderland8662]

Asking an Irish person to sing a rebel song is like asking an American to rap. Not all of us do, or should, or can.

[@MythicalWater]

Seán's talk about not feeling 'irish enough' was really relatable and weirdly it makes me feel better to hear that other people wrestle with the same thoughts about nationality and identity as I do. As someone who's 50/50 Italian and White Australian, I feel like I'm not really representative enough of either culture, especially because I grew up with the internet which was heavily influenced by North America. I think what has helped me be comfortable calling myself both is the fact that it's not a competition. Like, of course there's gonna be some caricature of a person out there somewhere who's an absolute legend and is undoubtedly of their culture, but like, you're not competing. If anything, sharing a nationality with someone is something to bond over. In the end, though, if you're celebrating the fact that you're Irish, that in itself makes you more Irish.

[@Darnedkev]

I’m something around 50/50 Irish Polish but I’m adopted so that might be incorrect. I don’t feel like either.

[@_korbo_]

I don't get it. Either you grew up in Australia and you're Australian or your grew up in Italy and are Italian, what your parents are makes no difference. But I also see literally no point about caring about any of that stuff, you're who you are and the place where you were born is just arbitrary and circunstancial, so I really don't get the whole "pride" thing, I could never think like that about my (or any) country.

[@djfebrezee]

​@@_korbo_ womp womp

[@MythicalWater]

@@_korbo_ Firstly, i'd recommend going into this kinda stuff with a bit more open of a mind. You didn't consider the fact that someone like myself could've moved countries when growing up. Secondly, about country pride, its a different thing for everyone. Just because your nationality isn't a big part of your identity doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.

[@planetaryg0]

fr i know NOTHING about japanese history and can't write well in japanese, but i feel asian as fuck in the uk (coz i look asian) and deal w racists all the time (both irl and on the internet). sort of like a difference between how i feel and how the world treats me. honestly fuck everyone else, we know our identity on the inside.

[@LouiseJulie_]

being northern irish and having english friends has completely banjaxed (there u go, theres some slang) my accent and I feel the same way. I've never appreciated ireland enough and I want to feel that same pride but, imposter syndrome! we do still love sean and we are proud of him 👏

[@shannonstewart3679]

no same!!

[@jamesturnbull128]

Dead on, I get the same feeling being half northern Irish and half Australian. I grew up in Australia but have felt closer to my Irish family and take on the accent and jargon

I had a professor in college who was half-Irish (his mother was Irish, father American). He grew up in the states but went to study in Ireland for university and lived there for several years. Even after being back in the US for years teaching, he still had an Irish accent. And I can confirm, Jack's accent is still stronger than my professor's.

[@johnnestor572]

As an Irishman, Seán is doing well for himself. Getting on well and moving up in the world. Also, I think I might be far out related to Ethan. Nestor isn't a very common surname

[@johnnestor572]

Also, Nestor is an Irish name. It is shortened from Mac Girr an Adhastair. Means short man of the halter apparently which basically means stableman

[@bobbiecapewell5333]

I found out through 23&me that I'm like 80% Irish. I had no idea and I've never been to Ireland! I didnt have a chance to get my Irish, let alone use it. All I know is "sure feck it, it'll be grand", because my grandad said it all the time 😂

fun fact: astronauts planning to go to mars is not a life-time thing! for the purposes of their research and project plans, it might be, but the trip is only 6 months long for the shortest path (which occurs every two years), meaning you'd have to stay on mars for 2 years at a time. companies, such as space x and nasa, are working on building rockets so that they can land on their own so that they can send rockets full of supplies to mars before they send their pilots (the recent launches are tests of this). you would not starve, but you would not have taco bell, that's for sure.

Yeah. Catholicism hadn't even had a chance to get reformed and split off some Protestants while St. Patrick was alive... Wikipedia says he was around in roughly 5th century... so 400-ish AD... Luther gave his 95 Theses to propose reformation of the Catholic Church in 1517, and thus no protestants could exist before then. But them there heathens were everywhere long before that, lol

I think for the mars colonization incest question, it would depend more on the genes of the people not the actual amount of people. For example, Iceland has an app just to make sure you're not dating somebody related to you, because they have a pretty similar population genetically. So gene diversity is actually important for that sci fi sort of idea.
