One really hard thing is that if I set my voice recognition in Finnish (my mothers tongue) I have to pronounce english names in finnish accent which is just stupid. And if I set it to english I have have to pronounce finnish names in english accent :D That is just stupid
There is a fine line between "a push-button will do" and "why wasn't this invented before". For instance, touch screen in mobile phones. Have you tried it in 2004-2005? Or Google Translate... Do you remember it in e.g. 2008? It is just a transition phase. Some of such things will die out, but some will evolve to be so obvious that the transition phase will be forgotten...
Perhaps the "you have not selected a floor" message set em off. It's like your mum accusing you of not brushing your teeth infront of your friends. Doesn't matter if you did or not. Don't tell me what I haven't done! Lol fantastic
@@TheseBombsOnly I believe it’s a joke m8. Also everytime I’ve been to America i have a lot of trouble getting them to understand me, and my accent isn’t even that thick.
His "American" accent really does sound Irish. Posh Dublin, to be specific. Like he's got a docklands apartment, owns a hotel, and divorced one of The Corrs.
That's because lots of Irish people, especially posh Dublin people, do speak like Americans now (in the past this class talked like posh British people, that's why their accents ended up so weird even before they started taking on the US influence). Example. "Oh. My. Gaawd. Caroline, that was, like, so, like omg." I've asked young Irish girls what part of America they were from, and my American friend in the US has done the same with some J1 students. It's confusing. I've even heard girls speaking Irish with that retroflex American r, it's crazy. Shows how weak and assimilated to global (Anglo-American) consumer culture the young Irish are.
@@yuukig7479 Well, I had a teacher in middle school from South Africa. Nice guy, but his accent was 3X stronger than this. After you spend a month learning to understand that, your listening skills go up by 10. These Scottish guys are easy compared to him.
After seeing this the first time I made an effort to find Burnistoun on BBC Scotland on Freesat... and was thoroughly disappointed that none of it was nearly as good as this!
Yep, this is a classic. I'm an American married to a Geordie and she has fits here trying to be understood in Virginia in stores. She tones it way down too.
I had a teacher from South Africa in middle school. His accent was the strongest I've ever heard in my life, these Scottish guys are easy to understand compared to his speaking. Amazingly though I understood him almost perfectly within a month. I guess it takes time to train your ear.
Maybe for you they're easier to understand. But the Scottish accent is considered one of the hardest to understand for people not from here. Some people just have a good ear for accents too.
My Geordie grandparents raised me in the states. Go magpies. I'm not the best code switcher but I can at least understand the thickest accents. I've heard a few times that my Scottish accent sounds more natural for my voice than my American accent which is funny.
Alexa doesn't like Canadian accents either. I don't know why; it's not like we're that different from American. I do not need St. Pauli Gringo water and bee compounder on my shopping list.
This is bloody brilliant. The whole thing is marvelous. For an extra laugh, rewatch it with the automatically generated subtitles, eleven is about the only word it gets right most of the time.
In the comments, I've seen people say they didn't understand because of their accents because they were American or whatever, but imagine for a second how disturbing it is for people who don't even speak English at all, or very little and are trying to learn, like me for example, who is French. Well, even with my low level of English, I understood almost everything. Almost.
I'm Canadian...when my husband asked me out I had no idea what he said...so I laughed because everything he said was pretty funny. He replied....does that mean you don't want to go out wi' me?? We did a lot of laughing ❤
I watched this show so many times..... never got tired of this skit...all of them were so good.... Netflix had it for awhile... not sure where to see it now ......ELEVEN you cow !!!!
“Where in America is that, Dublin?” Gets me every time 😂🤣 And also that one time when he screams “eleven” and his voice cracks. 😂🤣 My teacher from NZ got her blind husband the new IPhone4 with SIRI (which was THE novelty back then). they almost shattered the damn thing into pieces because he kept saying:”Siri, call Miriam” And Siri would reply:”why, thank you, Colin, I think you’re cool too”. I happened to call them on the landline and have sounded in genuine distress, I asked if they were alright and she told me. I couldn’t stop laughing 😂🤣😂
This is the best thing I've seen in decades. I'm a cockney, but was married to a weegie for twenty years so I'm bi lingual. Love Glasgow. Pure dead brilliant!!!! 👅
Maybe you won't believe 😅 I watched this video maybe more than ten times and everytime I laughed in a loud voice 😂 they are really very good ❤ thanks very much ❤
Had made one GIF before from this superb sketch & now I've made another few that will be available through twitter & FB in a few hours. Best Scottish comedy sketch ever!
What I want to say is I watched the the actual show that this sketch came from several times. I still lmaso everytime. Because I am Scottish and believe me I would react the same way.
"Open the doors Pleease"
"Pleease.. *pathetic* "
I died 😂😂😂😂
Please remain calm
Please please Sock ma wulleh
@@Jack-ny4vu 🤣🤣🤣🤣
same
and then someone comes in with the ultimate punchline and said: you do know this building has only 10 floors right.
🤣
That would have been awesome😆
oh my god... could you imagine their reactions
They still couldn't exit the elevator 😂
I can totally see this happening
Honestly this goes beyond just accents. Technology is needlessly complicated sometimes when often a simple push-button will do.
Ok boomer
One really hard thing is that if I set my voice recognition in Finnish (my mothers tongue) I have to pronounce english names in finnish accent which is just stupid. And if I set it to english I have have to pronounce finnish names in english accent :D That is just stupid
I read this in a Scottish accent

Max Baker a man of culture I see
the worst thing to say to an angry person "please stay calm"
IM CALM
*I'M DEFINITELY CALM*
*I'M VERY CALM*
Especially when it’s a voice recognition technology lift and it made the person angry in the first place 😂
Perhaps the "you have not selected a floor" message set em off. It's like your mum accusing you of not brushing your teeth infront of your friends. Doesn't matter if you did or not. Don't tell me what I haven't done! Lol fantastic
I turned subtitles on. Sometimes it showed "eleven", but also "I love Ben" and other nonsense :-D .-D :-D
Ben’s sound as fuck but.
That's voice recognition for you :P
I love Ben. 😂
ME TO AND "I LOVE THEN" KFKSJDOAIDU
Bruh that's hilarious lmao 🤣😂🤣😂
To be fair, the only things that can understand Scottish people are Scottish people.
And the Irish.
I have American friends who understand everything I say, what do you mean?
@@TheseBombsOnly I believe it’s a joke m8. Also everytime I’ve been to America i have a lot of trouble getting them to understand me, and my accent isn’t even that thick.
@@MatthewBaxter88 I know it's a joke, I followed it up with another. And you are pretty trigger happy on the menu screen.
@@TheseBombsOnly apologies, it’s hard to tell sarcasm purely through text. Also trigger happy?

You might be right, but I hear a bit of a "New York" accent in it. I've heard some New Yorkers say it the same way he does.
To me it sounded German
Fuck, why would you divorce one of the Corrs? Unless it was the brother, of course ;0)
Hahaha 😅

Came here from the Genshin Impact version and honestly my stomach pains from watching this twice.
Me too
Same
The Zhongli Venti one cracks me
same here buster
yes! HAHHAHAHA still can't stop smiling/laughing.
"Wot America is that?"
"Dublin"
There’s actually several cities and towns in America called Dublin. 😂 Obviously named after the original because of the Irish diaspora. 🇮🇪🇺🇸
Ireland is simply East America. They just don't know it yet :p
i think the best part about this is that, of all the numbers, "eleven" with a scottish accent sounds pretty clear
It does!
The twist is there is no 11.
Plot twist: It actually processes the voice but they keep saying eleven so it cancels and tries again.
thats what i thought
E
Why would it cancel?
I think they had to say floor 11
This is one of the funniest skits I have ever seen.
I read it (skirts) the first time!
@@kamelaly995 hahaha
Cheers!
I like to imagine that more and more Scottish people walked in the elevator and got stuck inside too. A trap for the Scottish.
the ultimate predator
The real plan
2:03 This is a voice activated alligator
I heard that
Same
She meant to say elevator
Alligator chomp
AHHH FUCK MY LEG
AHH FUCK MY HEA-
I like the part where they say "eleven".
Where? I cant hear anything
Wait when did they say that?
"111 likes"
I like the part where they're in the lift.
@@AndrewSpencer69 they were in a lift?
it's especially painful that the close captions don't understand most of it, but understand every word they say in the bad versions of other accents
You can always say ten and go one floor up, there is no way this lift will not understand "ten"
😂
@@mynameis1261 here's some wood.
🪵
Touch it. You've jinxed it.
As an American I had a hard time decoding what these two had said. They were so passionate Hahaha
Imagine being a non-native English speaker like me 🤣
FREEEEDOMMMMM
That's funny, because as an American myself I could perfectly understand almost every word they said.
@@thunderbird1921 you must live in an area where the accents are similar to theirs then...😌

The end is what Scotland will be like after lockdown 😂😂
"Will be?" every day hen.
tom osman true 😂
The end is scotland on the run up to indyref2 😂
just take us anywhere ya cow 😂🤣😂
That made me pee hahahaha
LOL 😂
YAH FOOKING KAUW
Thats me to my causin
Watch this video with closed captions ON, it's even more funny to see voice recognition technology failing in real-time
true true “I love Ben” PLEASE😭😭😭😭
“I we have I LOVE BEN” 😭
Aye, that fer sure is funne
Meanwhile auto-generated English subs:
"I love then"
"I love ben"
Me being Scottish cannot wait for the day I step into a voice activated elevator
In wales, right? Cheers!
This was her last comment. She got it!
Whenever I feel down I play this video: never fails to lift my mood! LOVE it to bits. Cheers from Poland :)
I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this over the past few years, and just now I thought “just say ‘ten,’ then get off and walk up one floor.”
That's actually bloody genius
Still iconic in 2019
still iconic in 2020
And in 2021.
I miss 2019 ಥ‿ಥ
Always iconic

I live on the 11th floor, every time somebody asks which floor I am going to and I say 11, I think of this sketch 😂
Uleven
you should say its awright am no scottish
I nearly pit Alexa OOT the fkn windae.😂feel the pain..

@@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co we have accents? wack
For six months after this hit youtube in 2010, if you walked into an elevator in NYC and said "Eleven" people would start laughing
😂😂😂👍🏴😎
Hilarious thanks so much. I actually have trouble with phones, and get just as frustrated as thesr guys.
way easier than taking 2 seconds to press a button
There are no buttons
Scottish people never fail to make me happy. Even when I’m at my very lowest. They will always make me laugh.
Jack lad, that is just braw fantastico knowing we make you smile. Bless you 🏴👍🏻
It's the best of what you have done. I saw this at least 10 times. And it's still funny. Great job. 👍
The best quality version of Eleven I have seen on the Internet.
“You have not selected a floor”
“AYE WE HAVE!!!!! ELEVEN!!!!”
😂🤣
Oh my God!! These guys made my day!! Congrats guys!! Great job. I hope you'll make more videos as funny as this!! 😅😅😅😅😁
"I'm not beggin that for nothin" lol
This is bloody brilliant. The whole thing is marvelous.
For an extra laugh, rewatch it with the automatically generated subtitles, eleven is about the only word it gets right most of the time.

Funniest thing I've seen in years well done lads we want more 🍀
It took me multiple views to understand the whole skit. Totally worth
Just love it!!! I have accent and run into those issues every time with aoutomated systems on the phone...drives me crazy
I saw this video years ago, and I've never heard or said "eleven" the same way since... :)
Why haven't this video amass millions of views yet? This is hilarious!
Ah, golden classic, laughing like it's the first time.
3:24 us after the coronavirus lockdown ends!!!!!
Not me, I’m fine
My favorite sketch in all internet)) the best!!! 🇷🇺
This will NEVER get old!

One of the most brilliant parodies I've seen in my 7+ decades of life. Alba gu bràth!

One of my all time favourite comedy sketches.
“Where in America is that, Dublin?”
Gets me every time 😂🤣
And also that one time when he screams “eleven” and his voice cracks. 😂🤣
My teacher from NZ got her blind husband the new IPhone4 with SIRI (which was THE novelty back then). they almost shattered the damn thing into pieces because he kept saying:”Siri, call Miriam”
And Siri would reply:”why, thank you, Colin, I think you’re cool too”.
I happened to call them on the landline and have sounded in genuine distress, I asked if they were alright and she told me.

This was my first ever Burnistoun sketch, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. SCOTLAND FOREVER!!

Plot Twist:There are only ten floors.
I Remember my old english teacher showing me this back in 2015 in primary school.
what makes this even more ironic is how the English auto generated subtitles can't understand them either
Magnifico, brilliant, 👏👏👏👏👏
The cc killed me 😂
A woman named Robin from Omegle suggested I check out this cultural gem from Scotland. Thank you Robin. I love it. ❤️
truly a banger
I'm Scottish and live and teach in Spain...... Sometimes when I say, 'eleven' my Spanish students shout out, 'Eleven, eleven, eleven!'
Freeedddddoooommmm 🔥🔥🔥😂😂 i remember watching that movie as a kid 🙌
This is so true
“It’s Scotland, ya bastard!”
“SCOTLAND!”
“SCOTLOND!”
*”SCOOOOOOOOTLAND!”*
*”FREEDOOOOM!”*
*”FREEDOM!”*
Thank you
Guys thank you for having so much fun. That was just hilarious! For what was made a lift?
Even the auto CC didn't recognize it lol, it once transliterated as "I love Ben"
I can understand this im proud
