This actually feels more like early-2000s Channel 4 sketch energy than SNL, in a good way. They should lean harder into weirder British-specific references next time and just confuse Americans completely.

I played this for my wife as her family is Irish. The song has been stuck in our heads for days now. We're Americans.

Jack Shep seems to be the fan favourite but Fouracres really has that Mike Myers kind of energy. If the show goes on for a while I think he's going to be a legend.

Fouracres is the fan favorite. Every thread has a comment about how he’s the clear standout despite the cast being pretty solid all around. Shep seems to have had fans going into it though.

I thought it was the character's made up name until I searched it and found it's his real one.

Well all names are made up in a sense. His ancestor must have owned four acres of land or something..

As an American, I had a rough idea of what was going on from context. Clearly meaning something like "which part of ireland" right? If not I am dead lost. Either way, I laughed so hard

Less what part and more what specific Irish culture.

Fixed it! I was just trying to say thank you because it’s too easy to pass by without saying it.

No sorry, the text was there greyed out and I thought it was reminding me of what I typed, I didn’t know it was inputting it again. I will fix it now!

Yeah, sure that was kind funny I guess, and I know he was just horsin' around, but I would immediately buy an album of him singing like that. I'm actually annoyed it doesn't exist.
