The Ghost of St. Patrick's Day Past 🍀 

I love how you can fucking see the moment in his head. Howling

OH MY GOD hahaahah

ethnically targeted prompt lmao

Brennan Lee O'Mulligan

Right? Why not just...

​​@@squattingheads I have read Ulysses and I can confirm this with absolute certainty

Bruh I can't breathe 💀💀

​@@sethbigboy324same

Brennan is Irish? Gee, I never would have guessed

He's probably just telling everyone St Paddy's Day's history exactly how his grandpa told him verbatim, little dance at the end included

A redhead Mulligan from New York City? Are you sure?

No he channels his ancestors when he decks a guy in the face for breaking his friends glasses while in a blue mustache

​@@lightningpastry2153Good point 😂

I was 50/50 with the thumbnail.

Was that because you saw Brennan's face on the thumbnail?

Omg you’re right!

It was almost too obviously going to be Mr. Lee Mulligan

Literally

Better than normal accents actors out on tbh

He’s got Celtic roots and is very interested in Celtic folk lore/traditions

Especially the little dance at the end, that was dead-on perfect.

Same

I was waiting for someone to say this!! The look of “OH” in that moment on his face was priceless lmfaooo

It was perfectly in sync with my own reactions 😅😅😅

⁠​⁠@@samwallace6509historical context is always myth

​@@bettestruble7887same😂

This one is untrue, and I say that as an observant pagan. This is one of those unfortunate instances where the internet has run with the worst possible interpretation of a myth to the point where many people now believe it is a fact, but the truth is that St. Patrick was actually quite boring and the conversion of Ireland was comparatively peaceful to what other countries experienced. He didn’t mvrd*r any pagans by any actual evidence we can find. Ireland never had snakes, so it was more likely to be an explanation as to why there were none than a coded message about St. Patrick being a mvrd*rer.

The overlap between leprechauns taunting Irishman with laughter and treasure is a 100% circle with some fuckin goblin in the woods keeps playin a fiddle at me

"The Devil went up to Belfast"

@@owenhammond1880 Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland, so I'm sure those in the Republic of Ireland would say "And he can have the whole blasted city!"

That part has me in stitches every time! It's so good

Really hope that was a Robin Williams call out.

I'd do it just to see how much the 'he's murdering pagans' makes their eye twitch lol

as someone who has taught college students, i beg you, please do this

The Irish gibberish is actually him calling Ebenezer a fucking idiot in the Irish language, if this sweetens the pot for you.

"Tippity tah-tee tah-tee-tah"

I’m partial to the out-of-context “JESUS CHRIST, EBENEEZER SCROOGE”

Every Brennan monologue is my favorite Brennan monologue.

To be fair that's a really high bar to clear

@@Michael_Raymond which could also be interpreted as an “he’s makin the island right for the lord, the one true lord: JESUS CHRIST! Ebenezer Scrooge.”

Only Brennan can segue from advocating religious purges to a lil song'n'dance number 🤣

Perfect fey vibes

An incorrect one. There's no evidence from contemporary sources that St. Patrick ever used violence to convert people.

It is historically inaccurate. So it’s not really a history lesson.

@@sojourner4726 so what is the actual story then?

It always is with brennan

@@sojourner4726 St Patrick’s day celebrates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland through the arrival of, you guessed it, St Patrick. It also just commemorates Irish culture in general. Not sure about the “murdering pagans” part, but from what I know, it doesn’t seem to inaccurate.

Omg I'd watch that movie. ESPECIALLY if Brennan Lee Mulligan PLAYED ALL THE PARTS

​@@normalman1035 I'd watch any one man show with Brennan

as someone from NI I can confirm, except a suprisingly high amount don't actually believe in god which makes my neurodivergent brain so confused. (tip: if someone asks you if you're catholic or protestant, base your answer on what you think they are regardless of your religion, or say your an atheist if you really want to throw them though a loop)

I don't hear it, if anything it's a switch from a stereotypical accent to more of a Tipp accent

@@batsardcat3285 Sentence

To be fair, so's he.

@Its Time was kind of expecting a rick roll, not a potato wedge

I feel like he’d give an entertaining and informative seminar for high schoolers preparing to take their AP history test. What a fun way to study! 😂

Tbf the snake thing is an incredibly famous part of Saint Patrick's image

He’s repeating a myth about Saint Patrick that’s fairly modern. Saint Patrick did not use violent means in his mission to Ireland. The conversion took place because of the work and development of communities on the island, and specifically Saint Patrick gaining favor with and successfully converting many different rulers. . Destruction of the free Christian religious belief was not just because of the dominance of Christianity in Ireland, but also a mix of Viking invasions the English invasions the fact that many of these practices and beliefs were never written down, and we’re only past orly. What we do know about those religions is mostly from what Christian monks recorded.

@@sojourner4726 found the Catholic

Imagine he ended every monologue with that

*Brennan Lee Monologues

😭

Of course he would

You say it like your surprised. There’s a shorter list of things Brennan doesn’t know

I'm Irish myself so I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out

I have that moment of how does he know that but immediately followed by well it's Brennan of course he does.

Sam: "No extra points for you Brennan!" Brennan: "Points to the Audience for learning!"

With a name like Brennan --Lee-- Mulligan, I should imagine he's grown up around a few.

yeah i know him from an episode of overboard

He has a subreddit and twitter that he occasionally checks

Who are you talking about?

He's irish.

​@@lokitheacrocanthosaurus8240Irish American. Accents are not a genetic trait.

​@@Zimzum93congrats on making an entirely baseless claim with 0 historical evidence

I mean considering what he said here is an entirely baseless claim with 0 historical evidence, id hazard to say he doesn't know "everything about everything"

@@CrankyPants05 I just meant that a lot of the shorts with him show that he has a lot of knowledge, though I can’t attest to how much is true, about a lot of stuff. Sorry if my comment came off like I was supporting misinformation. I know this sounds dumb, but I’m like, 1/3 Irish on my mother’s side, so I mean no shade to the Irish.

@@Hobbit_in_Isengard nah its all good i understand where yourr coming from lol

@@CrankyPants05 okay good! 😮‍💨 I’m always scared I’ll say something wrong and start a RU-vid comment war or something

I love Brennan. But the accent is pure Paddywhackery. No one sounds like that.

It kinda goes from southern to northern in the middle but also right as he goes all religious so, it checks out, haha!

@@rhov-anion It's a hodgepodge of accents that do not exist in Ireland. Brennan's great, hilarious guy, but, no, there is absolutely zero accuracy in this accent.

@@Laneyface I mean he kinda sounded like three different relatives of mine at various points. From Cork, from Belfast. It was spectacular.

also he actually sounds irish its scary like im irish and i tought he was irish

His mother is Elaine Lee, an author

so some colonizer english man murdered irish pagans is what im getting here

@@tims5978 if you left out Irish, it would be a classic case of DO YOU KNOW HOW LITTLE THAT NARROWS IT DOWN

Likely Welsh actually

@@tims5978 No, and I don’t think you understand how wrong you are? He came from Wales when it was a part of the roman empire. The story is he was taken as a slave to ireland. There is no proof that he murdered anyone at all, if’s a theory, but based on nothing but a story invented hundreds of years later. I understand your view of history and geography is horribly warped by your unfortunate birthplace, but, my dude, please, shut up. England wasn’t even a thing, they weren’t colonising bloody anyone, at this point they were being colonised again and again. And if you are very much against colonising please take action against your own country, who is currently the joint lead coloniser. My dude, take two minutes to read about what you guys did, very recently to poor Hawaii. Read about the cold war and the murders, the genocides, the dictatorships you guys enforced. I don’t like ranting but you are so cretinous, so vile, so ignorant, I can’t.

He spent the vast majority of his life in Ireland, so, he was technically English, but was a slave in Ireland and eventually a Catholic Missionary in Ireland for most of his life.

*pagans

Seamus O'Finnegan Ryan McPhee is such an incredibly stereotypical Irish name to just summon out of the blue. That kind of improv skill is downright IMPRESSIVE.

Unfortunately this is actually false. Historical consensus is that St. Patrick never murdered everyone, and the Christianization of Ireland was much more peaceful than the rest of the world. Also there were no actual snakes before St. Patrick got there either.

Oh you are going to love Drunk History

Except what he said here is an entirely baseless claim with 0 historical evidence.
