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.
@@largol33t1 i'm surprised that there was a swiss german accent option. maybe you understood that the best because we speak slowly and try to pronounce everything as clearly as possible xD
😂 I had a Garmin who pronounced anything that wasn't in English strangely. I went to the isle of Jersey and she told me to turn on pig knocks road. I thought what in the world??? Then I saw the street sign...pigneaux 😂
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.
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)
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.
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 🤣🤣
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'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 remember back in around '09, my Scottish grandpa trying to get his car to call his daughter (Linda), and every time he said "Call Linda" the car would pause for a second... Then say "Media" and start playing Rod Stewart. After about 10 goes of that with my grandpa getting increasingly angry at the car, he smacks the thing, picks up his phone and just calls her, all while vowing never to use voice recognition technology ever again, as they've clearly never heard a Scotsman before.
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.
Thanks for this video. I watched it more than 100 times and it still makes me laugh. Could you please put English subtitle in this video and the other videos. I'm Turk and it's very difficult for me to understand Scottish accent. I watched this video several times and there are still some parts that I don't understand.
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??
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!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
The true test for any voice recognition software is understanding a Scotsman, especially one that's drunken and hurling insults. The true test of an AI is understanding the Scotsman's actual insults.
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
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.
This never gets old...even though they both clearly and audibly pronounce "eleven."..in a normal accent favorable to the English language.
they just had to say it like Russians do..... this lift would just fall and hide somewhere frightened))))))) or in German)))))) historically the most coarse, rude and frightening accents....
they could have just tried ten, you cannot go wrong with it

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

“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
The video:eleven
The subtitles: I love Ben
And "a weapon"... TH-cam made the irony on whole level.
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.
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.
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💕
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)

And I’m here because…
Idk I just like Sco’land
Burnistoun is brilliant. Connell and Florence are geniuses.
You forgot 'underrated' and 'humble'
Never ever gets old!! Only lived in Scotland for 7 years but honestly!!! The best really the best!!!

Probably made her week! 🤣
🤣
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. 😂
I am an English teacher. One of my students struggled to learn the word "eleven." After I showed her this video, she learned the word for good
This never gets old, I've watched it many times and still end up collapsed in laughter!
This is comedy gold. One for the Hall of Fame for sure !!

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 😂😂😂
My D&D group now shouts "Eleven!" whenever it comes up in a roll. Good shit.

My "Oh do whatever ya like!" came very close to "Take us anywhere, ya cow!"
"Freedom" = "free doors" in the ai closed captions, amazing😊
I have lost count of the number of times that I have watched this video clip and still the tears roll down my face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
"you have not selected a floor"
"AAAAP YEORS YA CAOO!!!"
Probably the best sketch in comedy history

Every Scottish comedy routine is required to contain 'OCH, YE COO!'
After fork handles, four candles, this is the best comedy sketch ever written.
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!" 😂
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!🤣
Just the best sketch from this programme full stop. Brilliant writing and performance... 11...
this is one of the best ones ever 😍
Up there with "two candles", and "my blackberry has stopped working".
Wonderful observational comedy sketches ❤.
Anyone here 2024?♡
Yo
FREEDOM!!!
Still 😅
Hey
Да
When I need a good laugh I come back to this video. Timeless and priceless!
I learned to recognize the scotish accent just watching this fantastic video! It was very very helpful! ❤️ 😀😀👍👌
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
Thank you. That was the ONE line I couldn't understand no matter how many times I replayed it lol
C'est le plus beau, je meurs de rire à chaque fois. Et le sous-titrage auto affiche "11" imperturbablement.
This video always makes me laugh so hard even on my worse days 🤣🤣
My belly hurts from laughing so hard.
Jesus this sketch is so underrated and humble
Whenever I need a good laugh, I watch this. This and Fenton in the park.
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?
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.
I watched this years ago but still enjoy showing my friends who haven't seen it. Now they get it when I say, "Eleven!"
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.
Hahah "Freedom!!!" roflmao - My scottish coworker showed me this. I love it! XD
Reminds me of the post-credits voice activated computer scene from The IT Crowd. "Hello Computer".
I quote this sketch EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I kid you not, every day.
This is a classic!
I think I shall immediately subscribe to this channel even though I already listen to a lot of Radio
Scotland. Thanks alexa!

Rumour has it they're still stuck in the elevator...

Brilliant! Lost track of how many times I've watched that. 🤣
Hawl, actual get own this man, pure heavy mental that sum machine pure like canny understand wit ye say ken wit am talkin aboot 😂
Too bad they didn't keep going with more people getting on. Would have been fun to see that escalate.
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!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
That's by far the funniest skit I have ever seen
Only in Scotland could two guys end up arguing with a lift😂
FREEDOM!!!!! That totally cracked me up!! (Come on guys! Speak 'Merican!)

This is first time watched this am hooked already 🎉these guys are comedy genius love there sketches 👌❤️
My best friends send me this and said this made him learn Scottish accent😂💀
The automatically generated subtitles add a completely new layer to the comedy 😂
His "american accent" sounds like New York Italian maffia in movies 😂
It does
I’ve watched this so many times I’ve started saying 11 in a Scottish accent😂
That's a shame there is no subtitles, if you are a vocal recognition program you can understand it D:
Althearya 2031 or Scottish ;)
Gets me every time 😂 Scotland!!! Freedom!!!!
SCOTLAND!!!!!
@@MarshallRedmon01FREEDOM!!!!
Our Scottish friends told us to watch this and we have been in stitches. Watched it about 20 times lol😂
Seen this years ago, and it still has me rolling.🤣
This skit will live forever! :D
Lol och aye you'll no believe this I've got it on my Facebook today...😅 begore seeing your message. Ye cannae beat that. FREEDOM 💙 💙 💙
Love Scottish culture and accent 💙🏴
Plot twist...
They needed to say "FLOOR eleven"
"You have not selected a floor. AYE WE HAVE! 11!"
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. 😅
For 9 years i haven't been able to hear the word"eleven" we without thinking of this sketch😂
as a welsh person, voice recognition cannot recognise accents other than american. it can abrely do english, let aslone scottish
I'm pretty sure no matter how funny something is laugh tracks automatically make them much less so.
9 years later and google still can't voice recognize Scottish. the captions are hilarious.
1:30 - I couldn't understand what he said, was that some sort insult in Scots?
no he just said if you don't understand the lingo
yes, and a racist one.
"if ya doon understand the lingo, awey back te yer own country"
He told the lift voice to go back to its own country.....'away to your own country '
I can't get in an elevator and not think of this scene 😂
I keep coming back, and laughing my ass off!! Perfect comedy!
Reminds me of my father who was born and raised in Auchinleck, Scotland.
"This is a voice activated elevator", they do realise that elevators are called "Lifts" in the UK and other parts of the Anglosphere.
Fridge Brilliance kicks in here: the lift's accent is pure Midwestern American.
