Orange is the New Black Stars try their hand at Irish slang, fail spectacularly
The new season of Netflix's hugely successful Orange is the New Black is here, and to promote it, stars Taylor Schilling (Piper Chapman) and Uzo Aduba (Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren) decided to record some Irish slang.
Kind of.
The script that was slowly rolling on the teleprompter said: "Hello Ireland. What's the craic?" before telling us OITNB is available. "So take a seat and I'll go wet the tea."
Which they get right. Almost. Then, deciding that "wet the tea" must be a typo...
Look, we get it. You have to record a promo for every territory Netflix releases in, which is a long afternoon of reading things. But you can do better than giving up and descending into giggles.
What a crock. I mean croike. I mean croyke…
