Rose Byrne and Chris O’Dowd Teach Australian and Irish Slang | Vanity Fair

[@AisuruMirai]

People go on about Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth. I tell you O'Dowd is the pinnacle of Chrises.

[@Miss_Distress]

AisuruMirai agreed!

[@GeneralBulldog54]

Also an MCU Chris

[@sandythemaster6898]

AisuruMirai Yes! With Chris Rock

[@JJ.McCorley]

Aye, but his big Marvel appearance was in Thor 2: The Worst MCU movie

[@itsnotworthit7178]

Amen

[@lewiscarter1229]

Chris O’Dowd is underrated

[@HamelinSong]

have you tried turning him off and on again.....?

[@andrewkling9530]

He's part of the League of Chrises

[@Figs3]

Him and Richard Ayoade. I miss that show.

[@snowman01]

He's rated in the UK

[@Kenneth_James]

Rose Byrne is underrated

[@willard39]

"I'll have a pint of heroin please" settle down there, Rose.

[@kkandsims4612]

That’s a ton of heroin

[@nicholasrolo886]

What is black stuff? "Oh, is it like a bad time?" "No, but it can lead to that" "Heroin!"

[@jwb4291]

She seemed SO confident with that answer too

[@silverblade41]

We do also like heroin in ireland though

[@fuzzhead76]

I thought she guessed heroin cuz of black tar heroin. But yeah, unless going through withdrawals, not quite a good 2nd guess. Haha.

[@ChrisPBacon-1313]

Migrants?

[@2millionblunts]

I thought the exact same. Needa stop doing drugs

[@meloD30]

The infinite darkness inside Rose Byrne's head just makes her delightfulness more delightful.

[@lucamolta]

Australians are very dark its all grit and sunflowers

[@sasha_ytube]

Professor X did that to her brain

[@anzeerjavec297]

she's so... impossibly lovely.

[@wilb6657]

Meh. She looked better in "Troy", though......

[@katherineamelia98]

wilb6657 always the bums with no profile picture who have something to say about a woman’s appearance lmfao

[@katherineamelia98]

wilb6657 don’t comment on someone’s looks who is better looking than you or you’ll look like an idiot

[@angeliquemariel2916]

1000% true she's so lovely!!!😊❤❤❤🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@dorisbanuapicana]

Rose: Drinking alcohol? Driving fast? Getting high? Chris: No but you’ve well mapped out your usual weekend.

[@Ketafilth]

yeah i lost it at that part lmao

[@thedaniplanet]

These are two of the most beautiful voices in Hollywood and they're just talking nonsense. I love it.

[@SiyabongaAfrica]

It's a testament to how well trained Rose Byrne is because this is the first time I'm hearing her with an Australian accent.

[@angeliquemariel2916]

She is really really well trained, and such an incredible actress; Rose is drop dead gorgeous.

[@leahflower9924]

She was so good in Physical I didn't think the show would be good but she was great

[@fayeoreilly2705]

for once, the irish slang is actually slang we use

[@finnconnolly3105]

Faye O Reilly banjaxed is the only fuckin one I use

[@KGProductions_]

Never heard of “rugger bugger”

Must only be in dublin cause I haven’t heard half of these..

[@trashleigh87]

God, Rose is so adorable. Her laugh is so charming. And They’ve got great chemistry together. I feel like Chris is very smart

[@angeliquemariel2916]

I 1000% agree they're so good together!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@shinmusashi44]

I still miss the IT Crowd. What a perfect show.

[@TheMetrored]

That little hint of frustration that escapes Chris O'Dowd while giving clues for 'rugger bugger' is fantastic.

[@warriorbard]

I like how in Australia it's the dog's breakfast but in the UK it's the dog's dinner.

[@flacoflaco1199]

It’s dog breakfast in England as well and notice aussie slang was basically what cockney people would say

[@lukeevans5427]

Why does Rose go to the most explicit place just immediately.

[@angeliquemariel2916]

Because she was thinking outside of the box

[@elizabethm3327]

"I don't even feel that's an Irish one just good clothing manners." 😆

[@ChiamamiFITZY]

As an Irishman who lived in Australia for 6 years I really enjoyed this video and understood them all. I would love to see a video of Chris and former co-star Jess Mauboy doing one with Irish and Aboriginal-Australian slang terms, there is actually some crossover between the two.

[@steveboy7302]

theres nothing similar between aboriginals and irish slang

[@beardedbjorn5520]

Actually a lot of the reason Australians talk the way we do is the amalgamation of Irish, Scottish and Aboriginal pronunciation.

[@AstrosElectronicsLab]

Yeah, dat one be good der, bloke!

[@Miss_Distress]

Why do I have a thing for Chris O'Dowd?

[@gulsedlin]

Everyone does. He's gorgeous.

[@gabriellavedier9650]

Because he loves puffins and sounds great talking about them.

[@stacyblue1980]

I do too. Maybe cuz hes adorable and youd like to cuddle-wuddle with him?

Coz he's amazing

No Aussie slang video ever has the slang word “root” it’s my favourite word

Hey Vanity Fair. I can't get enough of these slang videos. Incredibly good! Ever thought of asking former and current members of various military branches to teach their slang? You may be surprised on how different nations use "hump" and "hooch".

I'm finding it HILARIOUS that Ms. Byrne seemed to throw Mr. Dowd off his game with some of her responses lol.

[@melissalayton213]

Oh at around 2:00, Aussies will say we have the 'shits' if someone is making us angry or pissed off which is often misinterpreted to say the least :P

ShaunRL I suppose they film more than they actually use in the final video. Some reactions are just boring

[@derekscanlan4641]

yoke has several meanings. it can be used in place of the word 'thing' i.e. Would you pick up that yoke off the floor for me? Alternatively, it's an ecstasy tablet! One might find themselves 'out of their bin on yokes'! ...if there was any justice in the world

Chris O'Dowd is a great actor and a really funny guy when the directing is good. The only show his true acting skills showed was on my all time fave comedy series IT Crowd. I've watched that show so many times and I laugh the same amount everytime. He really needs to do more shows like that. The hollywood stuff doesnt do his acting justice.
