Here in New Zealand I was given a voice-activated Television to trial. It took the best part of two weeks to get it to shift to channel 10. My programme was finished, needless to say. Maybe it was the Scot in me (on my mum's side) but my reaction was much the same.
I went on a trip this past weekend to Hilton Head, South Carolina. The rental car had an audio GPS so you could speak the destination where you wanted to go. Without exaggeration my boyfriend was able to tell her at least 15 different commands, and she recognized all of them. EVERY time I tried, she did not understand what I said. This happened at least 10 times. It reminded me so much of this video. I just started telling her “11“!!!
What's funny is the GPS unit I got from my father spoke in an American accent so poorly (it was made in Germany!) that I couldn't stop laughing. This was too distracting so I fumbled through the accent settings to find whatever the hell I could understand best. I would try driving around while it gave me directions, switching the accent settings whenever I kept getting confused. Lo and behold, the Swiss-German accent worked best and I am NEITHER! I don't know why the hell it was the easiest to understand.
We were being escorted through Frankfurt Airport by a Scottish lady (my wife is a bit disabled) last week on returning from America. When we were in the lift, I carefully ennunciated "eleven", in my best fake Scottish accent. She almost wet her undies.
Similar story. My grandmother showed me this a few years ago. She was very passionate about Scotland, even though she’s never been there. She passed away a year ago. Decided to rewatch it to bring some memories)
I'm suddenly reminded of the voice controlled software I tried to run on my Atari back in the 90's. That didn't work either. Imagine, trying to teach your computer how to do things by voice command, but first ... you need to get it to understand your command, how to make sense of what you're saying to it ... and then teach it what everything means. And then get it to recognize YOUR voice every time. It was just as frustrating as ELEVEN! My "Oh do whatever ya like!" came very close to "Take us anywhere, ya cow!"
I can't remember the last time I wept with laughter. I just heard of this video in a New York Times article which mentioned the difficulties of lipreading certain accents.
Every time I get to page 11 in ANYTHING...I have to quote this. If the people around me don't understand what I just did, we stop and watch this video. Also, for an entire year when my son was eleven, I didn't use his first name. I just called him "ELEVEN!"
I decided to watch this with subtitles on and it just made it funnier, the automatic subtitles butcher it completely. Highly recommended to watch with subtitles 🤣🤣
Being part-Scottish myself, this is the first time I've seen and laughed at something so hard I cried. I may be American, but I embraced my Scottish heritage on my dad's side. This really made my day! SCOTLAND!🤣
even after years or speaking and learning english I still don't catch every word, BUT it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. No idea why it only got 1,2m views so far.
Someone just posted this on Twitter and it's the first time I have seen it. I have been laughing so hard watching this I could barely see my laptop screen! LOLOLOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
I think of this every time I try talking to my Subaru Voice driven console - which is just as hopeless in 2023 as when this skit was done. 'Please' - I'm with them! Why would a machine be 'pleased' by my doing something??
An in-joke is a joke that relies on knowledge that only the people sharing the joke have. Dick Van Dyke's performance in _Mary Poppins_ is common knowledge.
@@IHateTH-camHandles615 They are still pretty famous. The sequel to the film, _Mary Poppins Returns,_ came out only about four years ago, and Dick Van Dyke is still getting himself talked about in the news. Even if they weren't famous, it still wouldn't be an in-joke.
it's taken me eight years to realise that they could have said ten and then used the stairs. Well, that's sucked the joy from another vid. My work here is done. Mwahaha
"where America is that? Dublin?" it gets me every time 🤣🤣
Дублин в Америке 😂.

I actually thought the accent sounded Russian 😂 (funnily enough)
@@alexandermaddox8695There’s also a Dublin in California.
"Are you from the same part of England as Dick Van Dyke?" had me dead
Deck Van Dyke!!! lol
I said dead in a Scottish accent there as deeeed hahahaha
@@conorsmith8551I love lifts!
Yeah, we owe England an apology for that guy.
He said ierland
This never gets old...even though they both clearly and audibly pronounce "eleven."..in a normal accent favorable to the English language.

they could have just tried ten, you cannot go wrong with it
Me and my friend is going to re act that
@@yunusozkan8969 , or can you?.. 😁
Can you imagine Liverpool, new castle, Manchester, east end of London, Essex boys 😉
For years now, I can't hear the word 'eleven' without thinking of this sketch.
same
Me too!
Same !! 😂
Or say it 😂😂
Every time we hear, ‘Eleven’ my son and I chant this Eleven under our breath.
“Just takes us anywhere ya cow” 🤣
YA' KØÜ! 🤣🤣🤣
Nostalgic...seeing different fandom doing all versions...love it
Good Omens did one
The original is from the movie Carwash
"You have not selected a floor"
"AYE WE HAVE!!!"
The video:eleven
The subtitles: I love Ben
And "a weapon"... TH-cam made the irony on whole level.
Anyone here 2024?♡
Yo

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand ‘chennal tin’.” -Smart TV
I don't understand who invented that... Isn't pressing a button on the remote simple enough?
I had to go through pronunciation with Google and other electronics it was painful.
Eleven
Should have tried eleven

OMG, I watched this years ago and just laughed out so loud and hard again, thank you so much. This series should have a million view.
Yes
Every Scot's worst nightmare. Voice recognition
I'm not Scottish, but I hate voice recognition.
Funny thing is I like everything Scottish.
Never thought these things are related, haha
When i am depressed alone and lonely i always went back to see this video to eased my agony and made me laughed again what a good comedy.

Probably made her week! 🤣
🤣
It's been nearly a decade since this video was posted and it's still funnier every time.
These guys are hilarious 😂!! Strongest first episode of a comedy series I've seen.
The greatest thing also in this video is the fact that not even close captions is able to understand and struggles with the accent... 😅🤣😂🤣😅
"jail free pasta" ????? hehehehe, thanks for the tip ;o)
@@slowerthinker You're welcome" 🤗🤭😝😜
Had to watch it again with the captions. "I love Ben" 😂😂😂
“England is Dick Van Dyke” 😂
Lmao, omg. Just made this video so much better. 😂
"Freedom" = "free doors" in the ai closed captions, amazing😊
my grandad showed me this in his car about a year back, hes passed away now, but he loved this so much. miss you grandy💕

My "Oh do whatever ya like!" came very close to "Take us anywhere, ya cow!"
Burnistoun is brilliant. Connell and Florence are geniuses.
You forgot 'underrated' and 'humble'
I watch this often to laugh. Hilarious!!!!
I can't remember the last time I wept with laughter. I just heard of this video in a New York Times article which mentioned the difficulties of lipreading certain accents.
Probably the best sketch in comedy history
This never gets old, I've watched it many times and still end up collapsed in laughter!
My D&D group now shouts "Eleven!" whenever it comes up in a roll. Good shit.
Every time I get to page 11 in ANYTHING...I have to quote this. If the people around me don't understand what I just did, we stop and watch this video.
Also, for an entire year when my son was eleven, I didn't use his first name. I just called him "ELEVEN!"
And prob for 11 months & 3 weeks, he would just roll his eyes. 😀
@@tequilacollins He actually LOVED it :-) My younger boy lis looking forward to his turn to be called it also
I'm on chapter 11 rn lol
did u call him with an English or American accent 😂😂😂
This is comedy gold. One for the Hall of Fame for sure !!
After fork handles, four candles, this is the best comedy sketch ever written.
Every Scottish comedy routine is required to contain 'OCH, YE COO!'
Plot twist:
there were only 10 floors
OMG
I did not think of that.
This explains it all lol
Wasn't it the Nigel Tufnel Plaza?
I decided to watch this with subtitles on and it just made it funnier, the automatic subtitles butcher it completely. Highly recommended to watch with subtitles 🤣🤣
"you have not selected a floor"
"AAAAP YEORS YA CAOO!!!"
Never ever gets old!! Only lived in Scotland for 7 years but honestly!!! The best really the best!!!
Oh my bloody goodness, was in public watching with closer captions. Scholar! Scholar! The auto generated text 😆🤣 the struggle is so real!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ef you don't understand Elango. What the fuck is Elango? 😅
And "Freedom!" becomes "Three doors!" 😂
I have lost count of the number of times that I have watched this video clip and still the tears roll down my face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahah "Freedom!!!" roflmao - My scottish coworker showed me this. I love it! XD
I live nowhere near any English-speaking country, but this is some good comedy.
I am German and can't wait that someone turns this into a sketch with Bavarians arguing with a High German voice regognition programme.
"ohh just take us anywhere ya cow. Just open the doors" Just the best line i've ever heard
This is still funny also even the closed captions / subtitles don’t know the Scottish accent as they either miss out words or get them wrong
Just the best sketch from this programme full stop. Brilliant writing and performance... 11...
These two guys dried out my tears,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I learned to recognize the scotish accent just watching this fantastic video! It was very very helpful! ❤️ 😀😀👍👌
Up there with "two candles", and "my blackberry has stopped working".
Wonderful observational comedy sketches ❤.
I watched this years ago but still enjoy showing my friends who haven't seen it. Now they get it when I say, "Eleven!"
This video always makes me laugh so hard even on my worse days 🤣🤣
My belly hurts from laughing so hard.
Being part-Scottish myself, this is the first time I've seen and laughed at something so hard I cried. I may be American, but I embraced my Scottish heritage on my dad's side. This really made my day! SCOTLAND!🤣
I think I shall immediately subscribe to this channel even though I already listen to a lot of Radio
Scotland. Thanks alexa!
Why does it sound a little low-toned?
Best line:Because they knew they'd be sellin this to Scottish people who'd be goin off their nuts at it!
Lol, I heard "for months at it"
@@catholicdad Only proves the point that only Scots can understand Scottish lmao.
When I need a good laugh I come back to this video. Timeless and priceless!
I’ve watched this so many times I’ve started saying 11 in a Scottish accent😂
Jesus this sketch is so underrated and humble
this is one of the best ones ever 😍
I quote this sketch EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I kid you not, every day.
even after years or speaking and learning english I still don't catch every word, BUT it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. No idea why it only got 1,2m views so far.
Priceless in this life and in the next❤
Returning to this gem once again. Still cracks me up 😂
This is a classic!
Too bad they didn't keep going with more people getting on. Would have been fun to see that escalate.
I can't get in an elevator and not think of this scene 😂
Someone just posted this on Twitter and it's the first time I have seen it. I have been laughing so hard watching this I could barely see my laptop screen! LOLOLOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
Brilliant! Lost track of how many times I've watched that. 🤣
My best friends send me this and said this made him learn Scottish accent😂💀
Hawl, actual get own this man, pure heavy mental that sum machine pure like canny understand wit ye say ken wit am talkin aboot 😂
This is first time watched this am hooked already 🎉these guys are comedy genius love there sketches 👌❤️
Ponerle subtítulos automaticos y ver que solo entiende al ascensor es lo mejor que pudo haber pasado
Reminds me of the post-credits voice activated computer scene from The IT Crowd. "Hello Computer".
Scotland SCOTLAND
SCOTLAAAND
FREEEEEEDOOOOOM
Goin up?
I think of this every time I try talking to my Subaru Voice driven console - which is just as hopeless in 2023 as when this skit was done.
'Please' - I'm with them! Why would a machine be 'pleased' by my doing something??
My absolute favourites
Whenever I need a good laugh, I watch this. This and Fenton in the park.
Rumour has it they're still stuck in the elevator...
FREEDOM!!!!! That totally cracked me up!! (Come on guys! Speak 'Merican!)
His "american accent" sounds like New York Italian maffia in movies 😂
It does
Gets me every time 😂 Scotland!!! Freedom!!!!
SCOTLAND!!!!!

Fantastic
it's taken me eight years to realise that they could have said ten and then used the stairs.
Well, that's sucked the joy from another vid. My work here is done. Mwahaha
ten? As if that makes it any easier. 😅
as a welsh person, voice recognition cannot recognise accents other than american. it can abrely do english, let aslone scottish
Plot twist...
They needed to say "FLOOR eleven"
9 years later and google still can't voice recognize Scottish. the captions are hilarious.
The automatically generated subtitles add a completely new layer to the comedy 😂
Reminds me of my father who was born and raised in Auchinleck, Scotland.
"SCOTLAND, YA BASTARD!"
I'm pretty sure no matter how funny something is laugh tracks automatically make them much less so.
Legend has it that they tried alternatively to reach the twelfth floor and that they are trapped to this day...
"You have not selected a floor. AYE WE HAVE! 11!"
I hang the phone up when they use voice recognition 😂
I lol anytime I see it and there are many. Never got bored 👍
I love lifts
Dzisiaj jeszcze śmieszy, ale jutro już nie będzie.
That's a shame there is no subtitles, if you are a vocal recognition program you can understand it D:
Althearya 2031 or Scottish ;)
Just take us anywhere ya cow is the funniest thing ever written for a script.
Indeed, never gets old !
