@Louvre360 you are definitely an internet pariah wee man 😂😂 you've said that 2 or 3 times in the comments section to get attention ... We are proud of our country and tbh couldn't give a hoot wtf you think 💪🏴
I'm Scottish and he's 100% right about the Scottish money, it's a nightmare trying to spend it in England. "It has Sterling on it ffs", was one I said a lot lol
To be fair, a lot of shops don't accept English £50 notes either and they're legal tender too. Living in Cornwall I've seen one Scottish note in 24 years and I used to work behind a till. People aren't familiar with them so they're more easily duped by fakes thus they're better off not accepting them, it's that simple.
Try using a Northern Ireland bank note!?! (With sterling written on it too) To be told they need sterling not Irish money - even though the Republic of Ireland only has Euro???
We went to Scotland - my auntie, when drawing money out of her account in Edinburgh - only had two banks on every street corner - Bank Of Scotland and Royal Bank Of Scotland - when we returned to England, my auntie had loads of Scots notes and was able to use them everywhere - she was on a bus and handed over a Scottish fiver for the fare - “You’ve been to Scotland, I see”, said the driver - they accepted it, anyway! Over many years, we have been given Irish one pence coins, 10p coins from the “Bailiwick of Jersey” - even been given Deutschmarks and so on in change (didn’t always bother to check) - but the shops, whilst they were happy to give you foreign currency - they even think Scotland and Jersey are foreign countries - Scotland, maybe - it’s not England, despite what Americans might tell you to the contrary - but they won’t always accept them as payment - just as well Wales doesn’t have its own currency - imagine if it did - their banknotes would be written in Welsh, have pictures of Welsh bards or Dylan Thomas on them!
This is one of the best characteristics of most Scots when they are having a good day - they can take a poke and some humour at their expense because they have a sense of humour and they know damn well that they'll not give any detractors the satisfaction - just laugh. It's better for your health any road. The folks that can't take a ribbing in the world are the ones that end up getting in nasty conflicts - everyone's pride and no sense of humour.
@moragosullivan Aye , that's one of the many unique things that puts the great in Britain . We British are the only one's in the world who have the decency and humility to joke about ourselves and laugh at ourselves. Whereas other countries are humourless in that regard . They can't laugh at themselves and in arrogance, they falsely accuse the British of being ' racist" simply because British humour often involves pointing out something that can be perceived as comical about other countries and cultures . I'm a Scottish woman too and I'm proud to be British and blessed with our special and unique sense of humour 😊
Thank God for TH-cam, others I wouldn't have come across Michael McIntyre. One of the best comedians in the world, his unique take on life and play with accents and the English language.
I was in a post office once and this is what i heard. Random Scottish Man: Can I withdraw £150, but all in scottish notes please. I dont like the foreign lassie on the english ones. Post office worker: Do you mean the queen? Random Scottish Man: Aye
OtherSideOfMorning Dave Allen never insulted other nationalities for how they spoke, he respected every culture while making fun of it as well. Macca just takes the broadest idea of any nation, “they’re Scottish so they must like eggs.” Fuck off you Incompetent arsehole.
Kirsten Easdale hey, I’m open to making fun of other cultures. That’s a part of comedy is poking fun at certain harsh subjects like race. I just don’t like how Macca has handled it, he seems very brash about how he insults the Scottish, like “Yes, us English are the superior race.” When the original commentator on this channel compared him to Dave Allen, if you ever go back and watch Allen’s comedy, he actually respects cultures while poking fun at them. Not just other cultures, but his own. Macintyre is just an asshole in this video, as he is with most of his comedy in my opinion, craving attention so he will do anything that’s not too offensive, unless it involves Scottish People.
Scots hold the honour of being first in Europe to successfully issue paper money. The Bank of Scotland led the way, with its first bank notes becoming available in 1696,
Only because the Scots needed desperately to raise funds for the "Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies", also known as the Scottish Darien Company, which in as little as two short years managed to kill off a thousand scottish settlers (out of one thousand two hundred or so) and piss away a quarter of the nations assets, leading, at least in part, to the Act of Union...Far from troubling to conquer Scotand as they'd have you believe, England was actually rescuing it... :-)
@@cogidubnus1953 between Braveheart and SNP revisionists it almost makes you think they're second class slaves the way they behave online. Whilst they piss away our tax money and get free education whilst the rest of us have to pay.
That is not an honour, that’s an embarrassment. Paper money is an instrument that allows for usury to occur, inflicting financial hardship and slavery on people. Read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.
McIntyre's exuberance is unmatched and his wit is as sharp as Scottish tack. This man can make any world culture bang the table with laughter. What a joy you are; thanks Mr. Mike. -NY lass

Loved the way he described the creation of the kilt. I grew up in Belgium sand behind our house was a British Army camp where I would walk to every evening around 10 pm for the taptoe lowering the flag at the tiones of bagpipes played by 4 soldiers wearing kilts... have loved the sound of bagpipers ever since...
Was travelling through UK and what he said about the currency is so true. I went to Scotland first so got some change from there and whenever I use it in UK, every single person would go "Oooo Scotland notes" or something along those lines. I didn't even realise the difference until the first person mentioned it to me
Michael is fucking spot on about a Scottish person always appearing when someone pays with Scottish notes I worked in a betting shop for years and we accepted Scottish notes, my cashier who was training was given a Scottish £20 note and she told the customer she needed to check with me that she can accept it and one of the regulars was there and said "aye lass you can accept that its legal tender" I immediately thought of this clip and pissed myself laughing its happened a few times for some reason Scottish notes cause confusion lol
I always say they flick it back at you like it was a pair of dirty underpants. One time, my niece and I were in London and the waitress in the restaurant was flirting forever with the table across from us. We just ceased to exist when they came in. She wouldn't bring our bill so we totaled it ourselves and left two Scottish 10pound notes on the table.
He seems like a person that can't stop even at home, his wife and kids must be over him, hahahah. I mean it funningly. Oh dad can we go now......jus picture it.....love him
Scotland is THE best place on the planet, the people are super friendly, they have so much character and are incredibly patriotic.

"I'll have you no, that's legal tender" I've heard it so many times when on holiday in England (in other words abroad). You could just be buying snacks with Scottish money and that'll happen every time when the English checkout has an issue
@Jim Barrows nah its because most people have never seen a Scottish note being that its from a different country and when you handle a Scottish note it feels like someone glued two monopoly notes together and drew a badly printed Scotsman on it. They are faked all the time and the legitimate notes have zero anti-counterfeit measures. Shopowners get fucked over if they try to cash in fake notes. Take your anti-English bullshit elsewhere.
@@busbingereviews8587 . Had a chap in front of me in a supermarket. He had the same problem. So I swapped the notes with him. I used the bank of Scotland notes in the same supermarket at the self service checkout. No problem 👍. Rest paid into the bank using the self service machine, no problem. It is legal tender and the notes are underwritten by the Bank of England . N.I has its bank as well. Same applies. I'm English and I can smell the English channel so that chap came down for a holiday. Hope he went back with not a too bad opinion of us. I would not like that done to me . People need to be aware that there is nothing wrong with the legal notes.

DarthTaiter79 Scotland’s a nice place depending on where you go. Personally I’d stay away from Glasgow as it is riddled with crime. Normally the further up north you go the more welcoming they are as we Scots love foreigners though the exception are the English. Generally the further up north you go the more Anti-English they are. It’s an odd place but it’s home.
Michael - You have to put the TH-cam subtitles on - they're hysterical! They don't follow what you're saying at all - it's a real laugh.🤣As is your show - love it!
My grandparents and their Scottish friends always had a great time. I am American Scottish heritage. I miss that accent and happiness in my home. They would drink,eat and tell stories. No card players.
If you are curious about the Scots, you shouldn't be listening to this drivel. It is an English man who doesn't know what he is talking about, he is just trying to get a cheap laugh at Scotland's expense. It is not funny at all.
Scot-free -- This idiom comes from the old English word sceot, meaning a 'tax', and entered directly from the Old Norse word "skot." (Remember those pesky Norse and Danes used to run around England.) People were scot-free if they didn't have to pay the tax. Nicely done!
I have a standard routine before watching him, no food, have a drink and go to the loo....lmao. There is only one other country who is so patriotic...is us Aussies. What’s worse are us Scottish Aussies, we have two countries to love.
No. The USA. There is a large percentage of the population who are almost rabidly patriotic. Pledging allegiance to the flag in school every day, hanging flags outside their homes, claiming to be the "Land of the free", using their national anthem more regularly than any other nation, having a separate anthem for the President and electing Presidents who don't have the capacity to do the job (Trump, Bush, Reagan and having Gerald Ford who was both President and Vice President without being elected) but supporting them as if they do.
@@aceman0000099 It is not nigh on brainwashing it is brainwashing and therefore NOT true patriotism but a manufactured perversion of the natural patriotic feelings they would develop for their nation. It is born of fear, being denied access to information and developed in a strict education system. The Chinese people in Hong Kong and those who study outside China have a patriotic pride in their history and culture not a forced patriotic attachment to a political system and cult worship of leaders. The fanatical version is NATIONALISM not PATRIOTISM, there is a distinct difference. Nationalism is a feeling of superiority over others, patriotism is not. Nationalism is divisive, patriotism is not. Nationalism seeks to force opinions, patriotism does not.
He is right about the reaction to Scottish bank notes in England. Which is why we shouldn't be doing the same thing when some poor bugger from Northern Ireland gets off the ferry at Stranraer with equally legal tender. Yes we do! Gonnae no dae that eh!
When we went to England my dad would deliberately give English people Scottish notes so he could troll them and tell them in an obnoxious voice "It's Legal tender", we used to just sit there laughing our asses off as the English peoples faces turned it to sheer panic, fun times!
I'm from the western isles. Went to London and in Boots I paid with cash. The woman held up the £20 pound note as if she had never seen it before. She asked her colleague to also look at the cash. They looked really confused. So they got the manager to have a look. This process took so long hahaha! I love you English folk, so dramatic!
I speak English as second language. The first time I encountered the term ‘legal tender’ was indeed when I was given Scottish bank notes working at a pub.
He makes us laugh at ourselves! Love it !My Irish best friend always told me ,when I was being stupid ,to “ get over yourself ! I learned to laugh at myself !
OMG, the legal tender story is so true! I had to deal with a complaint because a staff member wasn't sure if a Scottish £10 was real & his Supervisor rejected it. 😂
This is actually pretty funny, because my mom (who is not Scottish), recently used this “legal tender” line because of COVID. Places in the US felt like not accepting cash 🤷♀️
I’m Scottish and the other day I was with my friends in an English shop preparing a speech about freedom and independence before handing the cashier 1 pound sterling for Irn Bru lol this is accurate asf x

Michael's father is Scottish and his mother is Hungarian Magyar. I can't imagine a more diverse and fascinating geneology! 😃
My kid is Zulu and Scottish definitely more diverse considering Africa..Calm down, they’re literally cousins.
@@prettyinpinky5937 your kid is a Zulu?
Good Putin I’m Zulu so yes she’s half
Well my kid is half Eskimo half aboriginal Australian... So fuck you
What’s a Hungarian Magyar?
Scots are the most beautiful, intelligent, and creative people in the world; yes I'm Scottish, proud, and completely patriotic ❤
I so love the Scottish accent. I think it is the best! From South Africa
❤ x @@beatrixvandermerwe2860
Scottish accent is so hot 🔥🔥🔥😉 Love from Sweden ❤️
Swedish accent is cute...
I laugh every time I watch these clips. He’s BRILLIANT 😂😂😂
I am now ready for my Scotland citizenship test.
You would be welcome with open arms! And a lifetime of great memories!
I have the test here, I'll give you the questions
Qu 1. Ya want a wee dram a whisky?
Qu 2. why do haggis have one leg shorter ?
Qu 3. ....
.... there is no question 3
Are you brown? Then you're in like Flynn.
“No we cannae have pockets”
"I'll have you no, that's legal tender" I've heard it so many times when on holiday in England (in other words abroad). You could just be buying snacks with Scottish money and that'll happen every time when the English checkout has an issue
@Jim Barrows nah its because most people have never seen a Scottish note being that its from a different country and when you handle a Scottish note it feels like someone glued two monopoly notes together and drew a badly printed Scotsman on it. They are faked all the time and the legitimate notes have zero anti-counterfeit measures. Shopowners get fucked over if they try to cash in fake notes. Take your anti-English bullshit elsewhere.
@@_s_9920 what you on about
@@busbingereviews8587 . Had a chap in front of me in a supermarket. He had the same problem. So I swapped the notes with him. I used the bank of Scotland notes in the same supermarket at the self service checkout. No problem 👍. Rest paid into the bank using the self service machine, no problem. It is legal tender and the notes are underwritten by the Bank of England . N.I has its bank as well. Same applies. I'm English and I can smell the English channel so that chap came down for a holiday. Hope he went back with not a too bad opinion of us. I would not like that done to me . People need to be aware that there is nothing wrong with the legal notes.
Know
This is spot on 😂🏴
As a Scotsman I can confirm the "legal tender" sentence is 💯 fact 😂😂😂😂
Fun fact: The knife that Scots traditionally carry around are called a Sgian-dubh.
I'm currently learning Scottish Gaelic, but haven't made it that far yet ;)
DarthTaiter79 but you’ll get there, just keep on going 😃
@@thepolitegamer1966 I have some Scottish ancestry, and thought it would be interesting to learn :) I'm glad I found a platform that makes it fun! I wasn't that great with learning other languages in high school, but now I seem to be picking it up a bit (only 20 years later lol)
DarthTaiter79 Scotland’s a nice place depending on where you go. Personally I’d stay away from Glasgow as it is riddled with crime. Normally the further up north you go the more welcoming they are as we Scots love foreigners though the exception are the
English. Generally the further up north you go the more Anti-English they are. It’s an odd place but it’s home.
@@thepolitegamer1966 I'm a walking contradiction: my dad's side was traced back to Dumfries, mom's side to Northumberland :P
I’ve seen this before, and still has me in stitches
Have a laugh, deary, it's just what you need. Aye... Thanks, Michael. I hope you stay happy & well. Love,
"ay i've thought of that too ur gonna have a knife in ur sock"
Michael - You have to put the TH-cam subtitles on - they're hysterical! They don't follow what you're saying at all - it's a real laugh.🤣As is your show - love it!
As an American, I'm really curious about the Scots - and this was fantastic - I want more! Also - love the accent!!!
My grandparents and their Scottish friends always had a great time. I am American Scottish heritage. I miss that accent and happiness in my home. They would drink,eat and tell stories. No card players.
Im Scottish. I love my country. We are crazy lol but warm hearted people.
If you are curious about the Scots, you shouldn't be listening to this drivel. It is an English man who doesn't know what he is talking about, he is just trying to get a cheap laugh at Scotland's expense. It is not funny at all.
@@DerekPhin Perhaps you could direct me to someone better?
Do you even know where it is?
Omg! He's funny! Love it!
Love this man, he is so funny.😂😂😂
Scot-free -- This idiom comes from the old English word sceot, meaning a 'tax', and entered directly from the Old Norse word "skot." (Remember those pesky Norse and Danes used to run around England.) People were scot-free if they didn't have to pay the tax. Nicely done!
Tax in (modern) Swedish = Skatt
thanks, that's cool to know. Wish there were more things in life Scot-free.
"go down to London and tell em all te pess off" 😂😂😂 fucking love it!!!
I have a standard routine before watching him, no food, have a drink and go to the loo....lmao. There is only one other country who is so patriotic...is us Aussies. What’s worse are us Scottish Aussies, we have two countries to love.
You have never met a American of Scots Irish descent, have ya?
No. The USA. There is a large percentage of the population who are almost rabidly patriotic. Pledging allegiance to the flag in school every day, hanging flags outside their homes, claiming to be the "Land of the free", using their national anthem more regularly than any other nation, having a separate anthem for the President and electing Presidents who don't have the capacity to do the job (Trump, Bush, Reagan and having Gerald Ford who was both President and Vice President without being elected) but supporting them as if they do.
You're all fools. None of that compares to china or North Korea. They're nigh on brainwashed into being patriotic
@@aceman0000099 It is not nigh on brainwashing it is brainwashing and therefore NOT true patriotism but a manufactured perversion of the natural patriotic feelings they would develop for their nation. It is born of fear, being denied access to information and developed in a strict education system. The Chinese people in Hong Kong and those who study outside China have a patriotic pride in their history and culture not a forced patriotic attachment to a political system and cult worship of leaders. The fanatical version is NATIONALISM not PATRIOTISM, there is a distinct difference. Nationalism is a feeling of superiority over others, patriotism is not. Nationalism is divisive, patriotism is not. Nationalism seeks to force opinions, patriotism does not.
@@John-gv2ug well if patriotism isn't feeling superior to others, that rules out America as being patriotic
He is right about the reaction to Scottish bank notes in England. Which is why we shouldn't be doing the same thing when some poor bugger from Northern Ireland gets off the ferry at Stranraer with equally legal tender. Yes we do! Gonnae no dae that eh!
And we don’t even have one kind. We’ve got at least 4 different banks all issuing their own legal tender.
Had me in stitches and the comments are great too..x
I've literally heard someone say "it's legal tender" in sainsburys once hahahha x made me chuckle
@@dennisrodriquez2293 hahha love him to he's great and yep totally bet his kids are like omg stop lol
When we went to England my dad would deliberately give English people Scottish notes so he could troll them and tell them in an obnoxious voice "It's Legal tender", we used to just sit there laughing our asses off as the English peoples faces turned it to sheer panic, fun times!
Just brilliant! Love his take off being Scottish too ....
I'm from the western isles. Went to London and in Boots I paid with cash. The woman held up the £20 pound note as if she had never seen it before. She asked her colleague to also look at the cash. They looked really confused. So they got the manager to have a look. This process took so long hahaha! I love you English folk, so dramatic!
It just so happens that this came up after I came back from Scotland
We're watching you.
Just love him. My favourite comedian.
The best! HIGH FIVE from California !
Gotta say one of the funniest jokes is the scotch egg he absolutely nailed it 👍
Just a normal Thursday, watching some random TH-cam, and suddenly there's Gregor Edmunds! Thank you!!! 😍😍😍
I speak English as second language. The first time I encountered the term ‘legal tender’ was indeed when I was given Scottish bank notes working at a pub.
Only Scottish people truly know how underrated this comment is.
I’m Scottish love ur videos Michael
He makes us laugh at ourselves! Love it !My Irish best friend always told me ,when I was being stupid ,to “ get over yourself ! I learned to laugh at myself !
Michael is the best skipper, ever! Love it
The legal tender thing is so true 😂😂😂 the amount of times I’ve said that to people is unreal 😂😂
I work on till in shop….I always tuck it under the other notes 😂🤣😂🤣😅
My great grandfather was Scottish. He ran away to sea when he was 14 and eventually settled in South Africa.
OMG, the legal tender story is so true! I had to deal with a complaint because a staff member wasn't sure if a Scottish £10 was real & his Supervisor rejected it. 😂
That's because the English think they rule the UK. And why Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all want independence from England.
I just love you for making me smile .... and yes .... GIGGLE!!!! 🤣👍❤️
She is hilarious 🤣 just love his jokes and the way he is telling them 😂😂😂
I'm Scottish and can confirm this is so true 🤣
Hilarious 😂 👍🏽
FYI - Kilt and Bagpipes came to Scotland 🏴 from Ireland 🇮🇪 our Irish cousins.
Bagpipes are originally from the middle east and the kilt is Scottish.
@@jameshepburn81..no
Fun fact the kilt is actually Irish, and the word 'kilt' is Danish
Most profound facts come from TH-cam comment section.
Well done sport.
Scottish Gaelic for "kilt" is fèileadh.
Where ever it originated from doesn't matter. We Scots rule the kilt hands down 😂
This is actually pretty funny, because my mom (who is not Scottish), recently used this “legal tender” line because of COVID. Places in the US felt like not accepting cash 🤷♀️
I’m Scottish and the other day I was with my friends in an English shop preparing a speech about freedom and independence before handing the cashier 1 pound sterling for Irn Bru lol this is accurate asf x
Do you come down to London and tell us to "pess off" too? 😂😂😂😂❤️
Peaceful Painting only if you don’t accept our legal tender lol x
@@infinitygracie9305 😂😂😂😂😂 love it! Hahaaaa!!
Watch the crazy scotsman asking for irn bru.
Irn-Bru in 2019? Pure rotten.
Love this guy 😂 too bad we don't have him here in Belgium he would have a mass of possible jokes 😅😂
God Bless Scotland 🏴
I'm in the States and I've actually heard of Greg Edmunds. He comes over to Highland Games here sometimes and challenges people to tests of strength.
It rolls of his tongue so easily 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Amazing Micheal 👍💋
Nobody makes me laugh as much as Michael . He is just so clever . Can watch his shows one after the other 😬❤️
Simply the best :)
Absolutely brilliant
