Catch him Derry, catch him...Maureen stop looking in the door...

Amusing video doing the rounds on social media as a family in North Kerry pursue a bat around their kitchen...

Typical culchies have to get entertainment wherever they can I suppose.

I thought he was saying Daddy.

They're clearly young lads taking the piss and putting on that accent.

I'll watch it when some hipster writes an article on rte's technology section about how it's gone viral.

"You're no help looking through the door, Maureen"

What ****ing help are you recording the whole thing and screaming like a little girl when he comes near you?!

It seems very consistent. It's a strong Kerry accent...but as the video was taken in Kerry I'd be surprised it's put on. That's the way a lot of us actually speak around these parts...

The poor bat! With a superior sense of hearing, listening to that eejit must have been torturous.

BBC NI News showed it at 6.30 and of course it "has gone viral"

I hate that overused term.

This guy has made loads of videos like this in his sad attempt for attention, this one has stuck for some reason.

If I was Derry, I would have smothered the gobsh1te with the towel.

I believe there is accent leakage at 50 seconds. The "you're doing great" doesn't sound thick Kerry..

It sounds like a young version of Reality TV Hotelier Francis Brennan.

Well if you believe that about him you'd probably find this story funny.

They said on 2FM earlier that the video with the viral views was stolen from him and shared by some other lad.

Looks contrived.

Yes but notice how he calls his Mother "Mom" in the beginning of the video. For those of you that don't believe people in Kerry call their Mother's Mom. And that's someone with a strong enough Kerry accent.


Video looks pure put on though in fairness. Still made me laugh.

I know people who act like complete La's when they see a bat because they think it'll get tangled in their hair, so I can believe this.

jojofizzio

How many "hits" or views constitute going "viral"?

Now I'm reading that with a kerry accent in my head.

I don't see what is funny here to be honest.

The internet has gone to shyte since every idiot and their mother can access it.

There's a bat in my kitchen what am I gonna do....

Agree with you there. Am I missing something? Comes across as contrived. I'm sure the bat wasn't in on it but it's like as if they had a few goes at filming it.

It's funny but it will get played to death and lose its appeal

Wesser

This is the funiest thing I've ever seen.
My favourite bit is

Where he goes Oh!!!
And then oh.... **** It!!!
And then your man standing there with a little tea towel held up on the air ha ha ha ha ha ha

Dial Hard

All I kept thinking when i watched it was how mental my mother would go if a video of her kitchen table in that state went viral.

Ciaran_B

I'm as cynical as the next man but that video is legit the funniest thing I've seen in months. When he suggests the bat is making a mockery of him I had to stop watching I was laughing so hard.

You're doing great.
Narrators Voice: He was not going great.

"He's like McGregor...his legs have gone."

I liked that.

It's a colloquialism similar to ''tulip'', ''wally'', ''big eejit'' et. cetera.
I've no idea what the 'meaning of it is, if there ever was one.

I have to say the video made me laugh, maybe not the height of sophisticated humour but it cracked me up at certain points.

Purple Mountain

I was expecting something amazing after all the hype but it was total shyte imo.

That kitchen is a right tip, wouldn't you think they'd clear all the crap off the table first?

jamesbere

Did they ask the bat for permission to film him

They probably arranged the set that way, to look more authentic.

Widdershins

I can't tell for sure but I thought it was balls of yarn on their table. If you're knitting you might go through your yarn and put it in a heap like that while you search through it.
