― Irish |
Irish the Hedgehog is a character that started out as a joke, made up by the well known Youtuber known as Jacksepticeye. He had asked SEGA to allow them to voice a character known as Irish the Hedgehog, on Saint Patrick's Day. Of course, said character didn't exist. Unexpectedly, the Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter Account responded, saying "Sure, but let us make him first."
A year later, a video was uploaded on the Official Sonic Youtube Channel, in which Irish appeared as a full-fledged character.
The Tale
"Top of the mornin'! I'm Irish - Irish The Hedgehog! I was going to meet up with my old friends Tilly and Sonk when suddenly, I thought, "You know I've a mouth on me for some good old' praties.." And so then I went down towards Station Square and I bump into Big and it's just like, "How's the big size a ye?" and he's all like "Irish! How in the name of Tikal are ye?" And I'm just all y'know "Story horse how's it going- Ah, you're grand!" And he's like "Sonk was just here but that eeget was nattering about nothin'!" And so then I thought of me ol' fella and suddenly Big says "Get outta that garden!" - And I thought he might've gone stone mad and maybe he's just sick as a box of frogs- But then I'm thinking- well, with Big he's a few short of a full shilling now- y'know what I mean? And quite frankly his mouth is the size of an old lad's skip but some say he's the owner of the Giant's Causeway- So finally I meet up with Tilly and he's stressing and he's all in and out like a fiddlers elbow. And now- Tilly is one of the lads y'know? But the chipper feels so far away at this point and I still want me spuds but Tilly is away with fairies. And at this point I'm sure anyway sure that you're mouthing as they say. And the rest of the day to yourself! Happy Saint Paddy's Day!"
