Video: Irish people attempt different American accents and one person fails miserably

"Bwwwostann"

Most of these are fairly good.

If you watch The Departed or The Sopranos, you end up randomly pronouncing words in a terrible Boston or New Jersey accent.

They say people with a “musical ear” pick accents up quicker than people without one, fun fact of the day (by “they,” we mean some old guy in a pub told us).

The people over at Facts decided to see how good these Irish people are at North American accents, here’s how it played out.

Things we learned from watching that video.
