Accent and Emergency | TOMMY TIERNAN 

Reminds me of a time I was in a chinese takeaway in Dublin about 15 years back. It was late at night and we were the only ones out in the front of the takeaway apart from the young Dublin lad working behind the counter. While waiting for our order the phone rang and the Dublin lad answered it in full on chinese accent asking to take their order. Then he looks over at us, puts the phone aside and says "ahh sure ya know, you have to".

"I hear you're a racist now Father"🤣

I’m a tinker /traveler/ gypsy/ didicoy/Roma we have all the pronouns I can’t keep up me and all my vast extended family and friends think this man is beautifully hilarious don’t ever stop him from making people happy

the best 6 minutes of "hate crime" I've heard in ages. Brilliant.

Every time he adds another character into the story I die of laughter again because I know another accent is coming 🤣 Should have ended with the Chinese guy though, "I'm only joking, I'm from Dublin" is the best punchline to end it

"I'm Irish, racism is part of my culture." Sgt Gerry Boyle.

Good old fashioned comedy. Where we could take the Micky out of each other with out being offended.❤️🇬🇧

I saw him 12 years ago at a festival, never laughed so much in my life, such a brilliant comedian

I actually worked my leave out from the British army to see Tommy he's an absolute legend I missed Xmas leave but was worth it as his energy is off the chart

There is a very thin line between racism, and just having a bit of craic and tommy just stomped that line into the centre of the fucking earth.

Dear Tommy, I love this set! Thanks for making life so much better! And the gag "talk to me like that" being paradoxical in content and answering in the same dialectic being offensive - just a lovely lovely piece of comedy! Thank You, John

This guy is hysterical, nothing is funnier than elements of truth in comedy and not being afraid to say it..

Got to admit , after couple of whiskeys I start using scotish accent .... Which is wierd since im polish...

Saw him Glasgow a couple of months back. Similar sketch about going to school in Africa. I couldn't breathe.

Father ted init ‘so i hear your a racist now father?’ Straight from the show 😂

I forgot that this guy existed. Thank you RU-vid for letting me know what I was missing. Such a great story teller this guy is.

Brilliant. You can't beat the Irish for telling jokes.. Great performance.

ive gone off stand up in recent years having spent a lot of time in comedy clubs but this is truly great stand up. its got some bite and you feel nervous but it comes good in the end. great work id like to see this dude live.

I can't believe how good this is! :-D Had to watch it three times in a row and was having a blast each f*** time! Genius.

Thank you, cried with laughter all the way through, needed that 🙂

Oh my good lord ! This made me laugh so hard this morning … I’ve got a stitch🤣🤣👍

My first introduction to Tommy tiernan... It didn't disappoint

All on my own and actually cried laughing!!! Good man!!!

This is my favorite bit of yours. Full of humanity and madness and just funny as hell.

Makes me laugh every time.

Good man Tommy, you're one of our own up here in Donegal. We're the most lovable people in Ireland.

Omg I laughed so hard, my drink shot my nose! How graceful is that lol

I seen you preform here in st johns Newfoundland Canada a few years ago and it was the best and funniest show Ive ever attended. I hope you and your family are doing well sir and I hope to get a chance to see you preform once again. Cheers!

I love love love you Tommy. I have to say every time I'm left gasping with laughter. You are a gift.

Tommy is a legend. The second best comedian this country ever produced. The first has to go to Dave Allen

I remember his story about running a marathon with a couple of Kenyans. It still makes me laugh over a decade later. What a comedian!

Absolutely brilliant. It reminds me of the Two Ronnies back in the seventies and the brilliant sketches they did.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time thanks Tommy

A rare thing these days, a mainstream comedian that makes an audience laugh with his comedy and not clap at his right-on ass kissing

I made a Belgian waffle this morning And I made an frenchman talk bollocks this afternoon 😂

"I hear you're a racist now Father. When did you decide to get into that sort of thing? Are we all suppose to be racist now? I don't know if I have the time to devote myself to the 'ol racism." I don't remember the name of the show but that was a great skit they did.

My sides ached from laughing..... Thanks so much

61 years of age and I've just discovered you (in retrospect, apart from Father Ted). What a find. Made me laugh hard and long. Thank you sir. Long may your tribe prosper.

As Indian his Indian accent is spot on.

How did you get interested in that sort of thing?

I like this surreal comedy - being a brilliant manic stand up comedian must one of the hardest jobs in the world - when you commit to the madness then the output can be gloriously funny.

That is one of the funniest stand-up acts I have ever seen

I'M GONNA NEED A SUPPORT BELT NEXT TIME I LISTEN TO THIS FELLA.I,VE LAUGHED SO HARD I'VE STRAINED MY BACK ! JUST BRILLIANT SUCH A TONIC !

So freaking hilarious 😂😂😂😂

So happy I found this sketch someone recommended to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

4:46 - Nelson Mandela playing an Indian character 5:06 - Nelson Mandela playing an Indian slowly morphing into king julius 5:12 - Nelson Mandela has now nailed king julien 5:50 - Nelson Mandela channeling King julien attempting a Nigerian accent

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I nearly pissed myself laughing , love you Tommy!

The man is an absolute genius. But you know what can happen to a genius. I think he is the funniest man I have ever seen. Thank you for all the pleasure you give to people. Dia leat Tommy

"lookin back now" best part lol

His best observance is when he said, "Irish people dance like they hate the ground!" He was awesome on Derry Girls.

Ya bent the knee, your finished Tommy......the public will never forget.!

Its the ol father ted sketch. "So i hear your a racist now father" god i miss the 90s if the was a portal back there i would leap through it.

LOVE this man to pieces 😂 he is THE BEST ., Thank you Tommy, God bless your beautiful heart 🤣👏👏👏🤗☘️

Magnificent, I needed that 😂😂😂👍🏻

...nearly died laughing, and his serious interviews on the Tommy Tiernan show are very uplifting whoever is choosing the guests....

My cat died today, thank you for putting a smile on my face 👍

He does the traveling accent too bloody well lol

Beautiful set! I died from the beginning

My sides almost split. God that was hilarious… I lost it when the Nigerian pulled up 😂Too much mate

Thank you tommy from county Galway . I am suicidal but you have me laugh .

The subtitles on this are phenomenal

I long for the day when we can all laugh at ourselves instead of everyone getting so butt-hurt. Had a good belly laugh at this one, such good medicine! Thank you!

Fuck me!! 🤣 I ain't laughed so hard in a while. Thanks Tommy, love from Duffy's Field

Are you going to be doing shows in the UK this year? I would really love to see you live.

I wish Tommy ruled the world.

As a traveler 😂I am NOT offended

Huge fan of your Podcast with Hector and Laurita.

the only man that can make me laugh thru my depression...thank u tommy ❤

I heard that line on Father Ted, "I hear you're a racist now father".

I think i watch this video about every three months. Class Tommy

"I've got this one..." 🤣🤣🤣

As a Belgian: perfect ending!

Does anyone know the name of the show that this clip is from? Would love to find/watch the whole set. Classic

should we all be racist now father? whats the official line the church is taking on this?

Reminds me of Father Ted "hear you're a racist now Father Ted" after he was caught wearing a lampshade on his head and impersonating a chinese person 😂😂😂

I'm so old, I remember when Tommy Tiernan had all of his hair... 😁

Best laugh I've had in a long time.

Im really glad i discovered this man. He is damn bloody funny

This is comedy gold

So beautifully written and delivered. Ta (and begorrah)

Belgian here. My accent isn't that hard to copy: just finish every sentence with "heh"

I'm 3rd generation scottish, no.4 was sligo irish. on the male side, we were midly musical,fiddle,piano,harmonica,guitar and a bit of singing.I worked on the humour bit. At no time did we ever reach the level of reality dislocation that Tierney has achieved. Even at our most mental we had fairly firm holds on propriety and decorum. Must've been at least 2 distinct genetic groupings in Ireland at that time. Now on me wifes side, hah, different game altogether...her backgrounds very similar but there's definitely a touch of the surreal in her...she got the drinking and the dancing and the talking. Ah yes, the patter, the craick, is blest in this one...indeed. Wouldn't have it any udder way, the cow...

Bigotry & Prejudice targeting Disparaged / Marginslised / Discriminated Groups is EVEN MORE HARMFUL when presented as a “little joke” because the Joker then says “I was only joking”. All while getting his / her bigoted message across.

I just love his humour! I can so relate to it because I don't have a filter between my brain and my mouth! 🤭

I'm heading to himalayan Crafts from BJD today Tommy. Funnily enough Tommy Tiernan entered my mind and now I'm procrastinating my life away instead of heading down the N3 to buy seeds. 🥴❤️

Can't help but think of the " I hear your a racist now Father" from Father Ted.

I grew up with Irish parents in England hearing the rev Ian pasleyin the morning on tge radio I new it was coming at school lol

Never seen him before. He’s amazing!

As funny as it will ever could be!!!❤️

I'm Irish myself and never took any interest in Tommy until I saw this gig a few years back on television and I fell around laughing. Pity you hadn't got the whole gig here

That was hilarious. Talented comedians are the truth tellers of our time.

Now that's entertainment.

that is the fucking boldest stand up i've seen in a long time. Very glad things like this can still exist without being cancelled by idiots with too much time and no sense of humor. you know the sort... the kind that get offended on BEHALF of another person

The Chinese a great bunch of lads 😀 great stuff sir 👍 👏 👌 navan loves you man respect

*tears rollin down me face*

the subtitles on this sketch 🤣

Never laughed so hard 😂😂😂🤣. This sketch just exposes the complete hypocrisy and idiocy in the world today, and how commonsense and logic through comedy, can highlight the very messed up world of self righteousness and complete lunacy. Great humour, timing and truth all wrapped up in the best accent on planet earth....The Irish have the soul of the sun, and this kind of comedy truly does light up very dark and cloudy days 😂😂😂⛅❤️

He just killed this. What an MC.

Is this show available on DVD?

ye some people mimic accents instinctively, it doesn't happen often but you can sometimes see it in migrants, like some will have strong accents from their original country but some blend in really well with the accents. it's not really a personality trait but more along the lines of their proficiency in adaptability. In your case it was more of a "shocking" scenario to tell on standup
