I was on a 2-week student exchange to the IoM in the early 90s. I was 15, I had had English in school for 3 years, and never been to an English speaking country before. After the 2 weeks were over, that was still true. I couldn't have understood less if they'd been speaking to me in Navajo.

XD I'm half welsh half manx and I can always hear my manx a's if i pronounce something :P We watched this with our English teacher as she came from Cyprus she was dying with laughter!!!
Very funny! Much of the dialect is shared with that of many parts of northern and northwestern England. As a frequent visitor to the IOM, I can assure you that this is a Manx accent; just a little more pronounced. I take this as a stereotypical study of the Manx dialect, which is by no means a bad thing. Just the same as when Harry Enfield satirised scousers. Also, not every Manxie hates the queen - the place was awash with Union flags at the time of the queens jubilee celebrations. Many may have been flown by come-overs, but not all. And if they were, it is good that they were accepted by the indigenous population and the owners of the flags not frogmarched to Tynwald for a bollocking. Sadly there are some uneducated folk out there who think the triskelion is a swastika. We have a stained glass Manx triskelion in our window and have often had stones chucked at it. However, quocunque jeceris stabit!
I Live on the IOM and i've got to say guys....... This is BRILLIANT. Cheers for putting it up needed a good laugh!! (Some of it is also scarily accurate lol)
@IdkGoodName There's no such thing as a south Irish accent each region has its own accent and Id question what accent you're talking about, probably fake or some rare accent. Irish accents generally sound nothing like scouse, I know I live here and was born here.
I’m from Newfoundland, and we make fun of our culture too. The “five minutes longer” joke really hit home. Lol “Fancy suckin’ on a Manx knob?” “Would you like a boiled sweet?” Lol
Quality that lads. Well done! Reminds me: I was on a stag doo in Liverpool with a load of Manxies. We went to a comedy club and were sat a safe distance from the stage heckling the comedian. He shouted "where you from lads?". When we shouted back "IOM". He shouted "Hey, give me 6". You see how people think of us over the there? Still it's all relative on the IOM.
I married one and snuck her away to the Lake District! ( it’s a little known fact though that the bar in the first Star Wars film was inspired by a night out in the saddle/ nightlife/ pondlife disco. In Ramsey)!
I'm just enjoying this,,,immensley..in the obvious spirit of fun that these (very talented) bhoys intended,,,well done to them....and more please! Great comic talent,,,might just use this in my teaching tomorrow - a rich furrow to stick your plough into,,,Lots to laugh at and with, some challenges/attitudes to discuss, but all the better through good comedy - which always holds the ridiculous and the mighty up to the light for inspection. Timely,,,and very worthy,,,well done
I was born in Liverpool and have lived in kipper land. I don't think the manx sound Liverpudlian at all and I can tell the difference between the two a mile off. So much so I once bought a train ticket from cressington train station in Liverpool and I asked the guy where abouts in the isle of man he was from. He couldn't believe that someone off the island recognised his manx accent.
Your channel came up in BigClives live stream tonight (you guys owe him a pint for that) - didn't even know you had one! Love the Manx accent. It's half Scouser, half Irish and half Welsh......and that's the best description I can come up with after too much beer. Juan....you and Kevin need to raid Clives stream some Sat night soon :D
Same comment was made by Vanessa Feltz, and I'm still amazed by the thinking process behind it. What do you expect from an island on the extreme north-west of Europe ? A thriving population of Chinese, Australian Aborigines and Andamanese who've spontaneously arisen from the seaweed ? FYI more than 40% of the population is born outside the island, and if anyone is under threat on the island, it's the diminishing Manx, who descend from an ancient Norse-Celtic culture that's fast disappearing.
my closest approximation as an american who watches a lot of Manx Beard Club: Hey boy! - Hello person I know Hey boy! - Hello person I don't know A right day, issae? - I've forgotten your name Longtail - Rat Queer fella - Rat Ringy - Rat ?????????????

Patricio Dünkler Well good luck but it will be very hard to learn since you don't live on the Isle of Man meaning you don't have anyone to teach you and because it isn't a common language their is little online resources but good luck!
***** Thanks i will try. If i can't, i will learn Welsh that there are 4 Welsh cities here in Argentina that have Welsh oficial with Spanish! Do you have Facebook?
It basically sounds like a mix of Scottish and welsh accents blended together, maybe the odd Irish phrase thrown in like ''on the lash'' the only phrase that was Irish though.
Get in! Great video and if people can't take it in the way it was meant, then they have no business commenting on it, and would clearly be classed as comeovers or have to escorted to get the boat in the morning. I am proud to be a 3rd generation stop over and love the Island as it is. Can't wait for the sequel..must be some Manx cats coming in that one?
Oh, and the "R" word, or "rat" is not offensive. It is a sea myth that got out of hand and doesn't really have much place on dry land. It was once considered bad luck to have rats aboard your fishing boat. It's just one of those things adopted to grasp some identity. How people (normally come/stop-overs) recoil at the mention of the "R" word is comical. I suppose it makes them feel more Manx, so they're doing no harm. Just makes me giggle. Crack on!
As with all satire, there is a kernel of truth in there (maybe more than a kernel, depending on who is speaking) but the Isle of Man is still the place to be in the modern world. It's a pity, though, that some places, like Peel, are being changed out of all recognition. I suppose that's progress yessir! (Maybe it's not just some of the come-overs who should be offered the boat to the mainland!)
"On the lash tonight, fella?"
"It's Tuesday"
Okay, so now I know the Manx sound like Eric Idle if he was both a farmer and a Beatle. Good to know!
I was on a 2-week student exchange to the IoM in the early 90s. I was 15, I had had English in school for 3 years, and never been to an English speaking country before.

Absolutely loved it .... soooo funny .... making me miss my homeland

However, quocunque jeceris stabit!
Maybe those stone-throwers just really hate Manx patriotism for some reason?
"A sheep just flew past the window."
Me: What? O.o.....
I have to admit, that got a laugh from me after I replayed it...
Oh God that made me laugh i was actually looking for Manx meanings when i came across this bloody hilarious well done 😂😂😂 xxx
"The Queen" 😂😂😂
I Live on the IOM and i've got to say guys....... This is BRILLIANT. Cheers for putting it up needed a good laugh!!
(Some of it is also scarily accurate lol)
Thanks, you just gave me a good laugh even years later!
I met a manx lad in uni, he loved me because I was from Merseyside and even considered himself as a North West Englander
sooo it's essentially like a scouser trying to do an Irish accent?
Sounds nothing like a Irish accent. I would have guessed scottish or welsh from this accent tbh.
@IdkGoodName Doesn't sound anything like south Irish whatever the hell that is.
@IdkGoodName There's no such thing as a south Irish accent each region has its own accent and Id question what accent you're talking about, probably fake or some rare accent. Irish accents generally sound nothing like scouse, I know I live here and was born here.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 no
Whos here from the new years live stream!!!
You've got to be either Manx, or a regular visitor from across, to get this! Genuine ROFL moment!
As a come over of five years its the funniest thing ive seen since stepping of the boat.
I have a Manx breed cat and I like to talk to him with a Manx Gaelic accent! I feel like it's comforting to him. 🙋♀️ Weird American alert.
I love this cant stop watching
One of the funniest things I've seen in ages, well done!
I’m from Newfoundland, and we make fun of our culture too. The “five minutes longer” joke really hit home. Lol “Fancy suckin’ on a Manx knob?” “Would you like a boiled sweet?” Lol
The beard's spin off show is in negotiation
"There's a boat in the morning", brilliant way to be told to fuck-off!
To be fair, he does go all scouse at the end.
On tHe LAsh toNIGHt? its Tuesday!... I'm dying
Had a good laugh with this. Thanks!
absolutely brilliant guys, i am Manx born and bred and think this is so funny i almost choked on 'me baaacon butty'
Love being manx born and bred! Shame you don't get too many people with a manx accent!
It's Manx a interesting language? I'm from Argentina and I'm planning to learn it!
Aight Scott fella?
My great grandmother was Manx. Would love to learn the language.
Fuck off.
Quality that lads. Well done! Reminds me: I was on a stag doo in Liverpool with a load of Manxies. We went to a comedy club and were sat a safe distance from the stage heckling the comedian.

What did "give me 6" mean?
@@k-leb4671 6 fingers on the hand instead of 5 (gimme 5 - high 5 etc) meaning they are an inbred people.
@@k-leb4671 6 fingers. Inbred joke.
Ramsey girls are of course pure and innocent, well known fact
I married one and snuck her away to the Lake District!
( it’s a little known fact though that the bar in the first Star Wars film was inspired by a night out in the saddle/ nightlife/ pondlife disco. In Ramsey)!
Excellent!
Just one slight inaccuracy - I live in Foxdale and I'm married to my daughter, NOT my sister.
I'm just enjoying this,,,immensley..in the obvious spirit of fun that these (very talented) bhoys intended,,,well done to them....and more please!

It sounds like I just walked into a hobbit at a bar
Still cracks me up.

I'm want to learn Manx! greeting from Argentina
Why would you want to learn Manx? I live on The Isle of Man but their is no point learning Manx only around 1000 people speak it.
***** But i want it to learn it not for how much speakers it has, because is a conplex lenguage!
Patricio Dünkler Well good luck but it will be very hard to learn since you don't live on the Isle of Man meaning you don't have anyone to teach you and because it isn't a common language their is little online resources but good luck!
***** Thanks i will try. If i can't, i will learn Welsh that there are 4 Welsh cities here in Argentina that have Welsh oficial with Spanish! Do you have Facebook?
Patricio Dünkler Well if you learn Welsh learning Manx would be much easier since they are both Gaelic languages. I do have facebook but rarely use it
I'm rolling in the floor.
This is so funny Sean as I’ve grown up in the isle of man
love it!
By crikey, that be some of that there "big town" comedy from that there Dhoo-Glass. Nice work sowells
Literally half the island's population has watched this video omg
She'd be getting a bit full now, gal.
my eye loves it.
multi talented cast
Check it out all the way past the credits!
Thanks so much for doing this. Starting to get a Southern accent down here and feeling guilty!
I’m from Merseyside and it sounds quite similar. It must be from the Irish and Welsh influence
Love!
It basically sounds like a mix of Scottish and welsh accents blended together, maybe the odd Irish phrase thrown in like ''on the lash'' the only phrase that was Irish though.
"b'y"
Ahhh this is brilliant!
Brilliant!
Brilliant !!!!!!!
Get in! Great video and if people can't take it in the way it was meant, then they have no business commenting on it, and would clearly be classed as comeovers or have to escorted to get the boat in the morning. I am proud to be a 3rd generation stop over and love the Island as it is. Can't wait for the sequel..must be some Manx cats coming in that one?
By Christ yessir what a top video lad

+David French Wait, so if you say 'rat' by any of the other words it's inoffensive?
I don't know why but the word Manxmen is just hilarious looking to me. It could be that it's 12 in the morning
By Christ I laughed at this.
The prison is full of scousers 😏
Boat... Morning..... Nuff said....
It seems like a mix between Ulster Scouce and Cumbrian
This is smashing, yessir.
I'm here because of Korean Billy!
Epic beard there.
