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
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.
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...
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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!!!! 👅
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.
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 ❤
Loved this sketch, best laugh I've had all year. They deserve to be on National UK tellie. Some very, very clever ideas, the only thing is sometimes the sketches just end a bit flat. I think they missed an opportunity with the lift one. Rather than just looking embarrassed at the end, it would have been better to keep on with the full rant. Still hyped up, but realising there might be a chance that of one of those waiting would be able to work the lift, one of them shouts 'Are any of you English!" To which they look terrified and run away thinking they are going to be attacked. The pair are left looking puzzled at the reaction.
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!
That’s me talking to the voice command in my truck. Then my husband tries and no luck either. How can it not understand “Kate”???? (My daughter). We had to change her name in our contacts to “Slum lord” (we live with her in her basement suite) and it understands 😂😂😂😂
What they said: "I'm going to come to America, I'm gonna find whatever desperate actress gave you a voice, and I'm going to the electric chair for you" What auto-generated caption understood: "I'm buddy Tommy I'm Anika I'm gonna faint what about this right just give your voice and I'm gonna go in a lightening gel free" ... Yeah, for sure they definitely have issues with the voice recognition technology
@makadeni123 oh please lmao. you don't 'know' a teacher who got suspended for that. you read some unsubstantiated bs on a forum or got told a story and you ran with it without fact checking bc it triggered you so much
@makadeni123 well I'm calling them monkey bars forever. The only people who have a problem with that name are those who think "monkey" and then think "black person", and that's only left wing loonies (the most racist people alive). Haha!! Omg 😂 they will try anything! No one tanning is trying to look another race!! Are the Twitter psychos saying the same thing about skin bleaching? Because that's the #1 "beauty" product sold world wide.
Hello to everyone, thank you sooooo very much for this idea of adding funny videos! Wow, laughing for these few minutes felt like breathing in the most uplifting mountain air - a therapy to recommend, which will get us therapists out of business ;-) ! Thank you Tanmaya, Love from Corinna, UK
