The Scottish accent is one of my favorites! My best friend in middle school was Scottish and whenever we’d have sleepovers at her house, I’d be mystified by her mom’s speech. I did have to really focus to understand-her accent was THICK. I have a hilarious memory from the 1st time I slept over her house. Her mom started yelling something in Gaelic and I looked to Heather and asked, “Oh my God, are you in trouble?!?” She sounded furious! Heather responded with, “Oh no, she was just telling me dinner was almost ready.” 😆
Bruh, I can relate with you Catholics or Protestants;dear me,I experienced that whilst dating a Scottish woman,and I am from the U.S. Apparently her parents were in an interracial relationship because her dad was Protestant and her mother was catholic. And I learnt real quick that Rangers are Protestant and Celtic are Catholics,just wow,that was intense for me!
@drewbranch7700 Orange = Rangers = Protestants, green = Celtic = Catholic. Based off the orangemen of the Orange Order which were/are a Protestant fraternal order in Ireland who were pro-Union and the green is based off Irish Republicans which were/are largely Catholic + nonconformist Protestants and we’re pro-independence + pro unifying Ireland.
In Glasgow most people are in orange and green relationships and everyone of us have family or friends who are your opposite. Its made out way worse than it really is, no one gives a fuck until match day. They can try split us up but we're intertwined now. Except in Larkhall they're all backwards, it's kind of sad really.
Something else happens to some of the women in the audience when we hear a Scottish accent too 😂 an no it isn't bc of Outlander it way way predates that 😂
"not that bad"... I know what you mean but your choice of words tells us a lot about the sort of society we live in. People with accents not on the BBC approved list are excluded from high society. I can't blame you for pointing it out.
It's outdated for a reason. It's not funny. It's a pathetic football thing. And you can rest assured not 1 of them would know the slight difference in the Lord's Prayer, nor would most know who M. Luther was, and what, why and where he nailed papers to a door. What door?
If there's one thing I thank my English teacher endlessly for is exposing me to different accents when I was learning the language. The Scottish accent is just so gorgeous to listen to, I love it. Must be why I watched so many episodes of Craig Ferguson's show years after he'd left CBS and loved every second of it 😂😂
Basically he's making 3 observations... 1, English people generally struggle to understand the Scottish accent. 2, Americans identify themselves as nationalities they know nothing about because of their ancestry. 3, Weirdly, Scotland is still surprisingly divided between Catholics and Protestants.
I recently learned how much Scottish people and Irish people care so much about whether you’re catholic or Protestant it honestly baffled me they are pretty much the same thing haha.

Is it me or his accent has a spectrum? It's a listening rollercoaster and I love it.
he does british face american face and scottish face in one video
brilliant!

So factual.
Lol seeing someone from Scotland and being like "I'm from Dublin as well" is like seeing someone from Jamaica and being like "I'm from Haiti as well!!"
I'm American, and the American accent had me cracking up!
As an American, as soon as I see an attractive man with a Scottish accent I’m like ‘gay or nae?’
Why
@@MartinJohnsonIII cause flirting with a straight guy is not something I want to do
@@MartinJohnsonIIIhe's saying he finds people with Scottish accents attractive. That's all he's saying.
if you went into britain or ireland talking that, you’d most likely wind up in a ditch or laying in a back alley…
@@o-tuathail I’d have the decency to read the room before actually saying something like that. But thanks for the image of violence
Scottish pronunciation: 🎤
British concentration: 🧐
American adoration: 🤩🤗
Scottish interrogation: 🔪
You do know that Britain and England ARE NOT the same thing? You meant English concentration. By the way, Scotland is part of Britain alongside England and Wales
@@RedPanda525 I do. Just speaking to the crowd. 😁
You could pass for pretentious Englishman.
Upload the 1 pic of 2 guys kicking at each other, from quite a distance, both holding knives.
That 1950s set up pic with an English 'singer' was to show the world how violent the Glaswegians are. Not Scottish, Glaswegians.
The pic was as fake as your dreadful 'singer' 🧐
You are hilarious and your accents are spot on - we want more!!
I'm American, and when I run into men that I do not know who have Scottish accents, I make up questions so I can listen to their accent, while my husband stands next to me, just shaking his head 😂😂
the catholic and prod bit 😭
He stole this joke from his grandfather Who stole it from his Grandfather.
Nobody gives a shit now days.
@@YTDumpsterBabyyou’d be surprised
*TOTALLY* thought he was going to have Americans bring up Shrek, ngl 😂 I thought that was the direction that joke was going but the Dublin punchline was so much more *PAINFULLY* worst and accurate 🥲
¿Neta, güey? Lol.
I wouldn’t be surprised if most Americans weren’t even aware that Shrek has a Scottish accent.
I just think of Mike Myers in Shrek and So I Married an Axe Murderer movies😅😅
Mike Myers? Dreadful accent. "Big fat bastard" with red hair. Do you think he's ever met a real Scotsman?
I love that his American accent sounds just like Christian Bale in American Psycho 😂
Is Bales American accent convincing or terrible?
His american accent sounds so much like Craig Ferguson's
He's so fake, a face for everyone, please believe me 💜
Well....which is it?! 😂
8:30 every damn time you do ✨that voice✨ my knees go weak wtffff
"You're from Scotland, I'm from Dublin as well"
In my case, it is "You're from Spain? How many hours of flight from Mexico to Britain?"
Actually I remember how Scots could not understand real Sussex.
real Sussex? Sussex is the most normal english accent 😂
You talk some shite the Scottish don't sound feminine
@@preciseIy Clearly you've never been to south east of England. Go to East London or how about some of the grimey towns in between Brighton and London. Better yet go all the way to the tip down in Dova hahaha Id love to see you call them posh. If you haven't traveled don't make up a load of bollocks to fit some weird narrative you have about being a man. Plenty of men, and plenty of rough accents, everywhere you go.
@@preciseIytf are you on about laddie?
@@cully7927exactly, I dislike the English monarchy too but I’m not going to say English men are feminine lol, that’s insane. Separate the government from the people. Some good people
I love his accents ❣️😂
The Scottish accent is one of my favorites! My best friend in middle school was Scottish and whenever we’d have sleepovers at her house, I’d be mystified by her mom’s speech. I did have to really focus to understand-her accent was THICK.
I have a hilarious memory from the 1st time I slept over her house. Her mom started yelling something in Gaelic and I looked to Heather and asked, “Oh my God, are you in trouble?!?” She sounded furious! Heather responded with, “Oh no, she was just telling me dinner was almost ready.” 😆
Bruh, I can relate with you Catholics or Protestants;dear me,I experienced that whilst dating a Scottish woman,and I am from the U.S. Apparently her parents were in an interracial relationship because her dad was Protestant and her mother was catholic. And I learnt real quick that Rangers are Protestant and Celtic are Catholics,just wow,that was intense for me!
It's known as an orange and green relationship.
@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 Could you elaborate further that sounds fascinating?
@drewbranch7700
Orange = Rangers = Protestants, green = Celtic = Catholic. Based off the orangemen of the Orange Order which were/are a Protestant fraternal order in Ireland who were pro-Union and the green is based off Irish Republicans which were/are largely Catholic + nonconformist Protestants and we’re pro-independence + pro unifying Ireland.
@@MrFuzziiWuzzii I appreciate explanation.😊
In Glasgow most people are in orange and green relationships and everyone of us have family or friends who are your opposite. Its made out way worse than it really is, no one gives a fuck until match day. They can try split us up but we're intertwined now. Except in Larkhall they're all backwards, it's kind of sad really.
Bro had the tf2 medic face at the end
Something else happens to some of the women in the audience when we hear a Scottish accent too 😂 an no it isn't bc of Outlander it way way predates that 😂
What would that be exactly
@@nba2kaii12 wet
@@cully7927 nice 😂😂
British comedians are one of the best! (including you dean)
My Mam used to brush my hair and go “ack this is Protestant hair” 😂
Nobody in England would have a problem with his accent. It's not even that bad.
Yeah it’s not even strong. I can barely tell he’s even Welsh
Yeah Irish accents are easy for English to understand
"not that bad"... I know what you mean but your choice of words tells us a lot about the sort of society we live in. People with accents not on the BBC approved list are excluded from high society. I can't blame you for pointing it out.
@@nffctrickett He's Glaswegian. (Scottish)
@@clownbag it was ajoke bro
Only in Glasgow, the rest of us don't give a shit.
It's outdated for a reason. It's not funny. It's a pathetic football thing. And you can rest assured not 1 of them would know the slight difference in the Lord's Prayer, nor would most know who M. Luther was, and what, why and where he nailed papers to a door. What door?
Solid gold comedy! 😂🏅👍 Rooting for your success!
If there's one thing I thank my English teacher endlessly for is exposing me to different accents when I was learning the language. The Scottish accent is just so gorgeous to listen to, I love it. Must be why I watched so many episodes of Craig Ferguson's show years after he'd left CBS and loved every second of it 😂😂
As an American. This went right over my head.
Basically he's making 3 observations...
1, English people generally struggle to understand the Scottish accent.
2, Americans identify themselves as nationalities they know nothing about because of their ancestry.
3, Weirdly, Scotland is still surprisingly divided between Catholics and Protestants.
Also, Dublin is in Ireland and nothing to do with Scotland
@Scot699 I live on the west coast so I see it still. Do we or do we not still divide our children between Catholic and non denomination schools?
@@Scot699that's just Celtic and Rangers 😂😂
@@kevinmcnab5670No actually. We don’t. Come up the north east. Not a thing
I recently learned how much Scottish people and Irish people care so much about whether you’re catholic or Protestant it honestly baffled me they are pretty much the same thing haha.
I don't know anyone who cares about that (with the exception of some eejits in the paternal side of my family). I choose pals who don't care because I don't 😊
These accents are phenomenal and hysterical!!!!!!!
His American accent kinda sounds like Mr. Howell from Gilligan’s Island.
Kinda...more like Tim Gunn, imo
