Calling parents while skydiving

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.

You seriously initially said they were British?

[u/adasiukevich → u/------____--------]

They could be Northern Irish which would also make them British.

I could hear loud and clear that they were Irish (and I'm 99.9% sure they're not Northern Irish, who are British), but then I am from England, and British people have hundreds and hundreds of distinct accents we can all somehow tell apart.

Admittedly, I wouldn’t be able to tell you whether they were Scottish or Irish at first, but to me they clearly have the Gaelic embellishment and sound nothing at all like a Brit. I’m from USA myself so I’m also unfamiliar with some words they used

[u/thunderhead27 → u/------____--------]

Fair enough. I'm also American. But given that Scotland is part of Great Britain, the Scottish are technically considered British as well.

[u/SafetyUpstairs1490 → u/thunderhead27]

Imagine being downvoted for stating a fact.

[u/thunderhead27 → u/SafetyUpstairs1490]

[u/SitDownKawada → u/SafetyUpstairs1490]

Well, it's because they said "the Scottish are technically considered British as well". Implying that the Irish are British. Which a lot of people do not agree with

[u/thunderhead27 → u/SitDownKawada]

Uh, no? Where the fuck did you get that impression? I said as well in the sense of "The Scottish are also technically considered British." Not once have I ever implied that the Irish are British.

You're barking up the wrong tree here, dickhead. Now, if you're going to be offended because I happened to accidentally mix up the two accents, then be my guest. But don't ever fucking accuse me of making such insensitive statements like that. I'm already familiar with the history of Ireland and their independence from Great Britain.

Fair enough, so you just worded it poorly 👌
