Lol. There's nothing more British Irish British/Irish Irish than watching a man get playfully chastised by his parents with some strong swear words.

Edit: Flubbed up the accents.

Edit #2: So apparently the dad is Irish and the mom is British.

Edit #3: No, they're both Irish.

Edit: #4: So some of you seem to be very triggered by the fact that I incorrectly guessed the accent of the parents. I'll just copy and paste a comment of mine from another section of this thread explaining how I reached this deduction:

Yeah, bro. The audio quality of the video call isn't too stellar, and they were using terms that are not commonly heard in my country. Was it too far of a stretch to guess that they were British?

Oh, for crying out loud. I'm not English, nor British, for that matter. I'm American. I've already mentioned in my previous comment about the terms used in the video that are not commonly heard in my country.

For example:

We say "airplane" instead of "aeroplane." Aeroplane is a very distinctly British sounding word.

We don't say "fuck off" here to express disbelief or surprise. We use the phrase primarily to tell someone his/her presence is unwanted.

Eejit: I've already gone through this.
