@@firstnamelastname6193 I think I would have rather played Angry Maggots if I had played either of them. Unless 'Sleeping Lions' is the most mind-blowing, exhilarating game on the face of the Earth.
please explain "smelly articles" ... how and why is "articles" used as an adjective? Isa on Still Game said it in one episode and I still can't grasp it.
Burnistoun is an absolute classic 🍻 my favourite episode being season 2 episode 1, every bit in that episode had me in tears especially Jolly Boy Johns plastic banana dance...GET REAL ⚡
@@billybreath2387 Burnistoun had it's moments. Still Game grabs your heart and Burnistoun is something you watch while you wait for Still Game to come on.
Watching Burnistoun, and some Scottish stand-up comedians over the years, I somehow managed to get the sense of most references and observations despite only being a casual visitor to Scotland (or the UK) and not native English speaker. However seems that the Ice cream van sketches deal with certain aspects of life in Scotland that I didn’t get. Are these type of people some sort of iconic types for remote towns in Scotland? Or is it a nonsense humor that only happens to be in a Scottish comedy show?
It's a two character situation comedy in sketch form. It wouldn't matter where these two orphans living and working in a van came from, the comedic potential for any two characters in these circumstances makes for a very broad canvas for writers to work with. It's not really about life in Scotland, it's these two young men, with no mother and an absent father, their stunted personal development and the ability to go for some really physical and childish gags through their characters that makes this work. You could even say the van, including the mothers ashes, are more than just props. The van is almost like the ship in Firefly, it's own character/set(s)/prop(s) and dramas.
