VIDEO: Irish accent attempts are rated by Irish people


THE Irish lilt is notoriously difficult - and we are quick condemn a poor attempt at an Irish accent.

Try as they may, it seems very few people can pull off an accent that convinces us.

Be it down the pub after a couple of Guinness or in film (we're looking at you, Tom Cruise), it seems that our wonderful accent is just a bit too tricky.

The guys behind the Facts videos decided to tackle this head on by having Irish people rate various attempts at Irish accents - including one by Friends star Courteney Cox, who is engaged to Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid.

Sadly, the attempts were not well received - especially the Cox family's go-to Irish phrase of "how now brown cow".

Regardless of the accuracy of the accents, it's still a bit of a laugh.
