+Hooch nah, their sense of humour, among just about everything else, is shared by the rest of britain and ireland but heres where their true merits lay - they take it further and are less prone to falter. its like theyre the last bastion of the britons. there are pockets in england and wales but the scots have held fastest. long may it continue. im english and, as such, it may sound sycophantic but fuck that. i like these isles and their folk and i dont give a fuck about the the uk. long live ireland, scotland, wales and england and god save these isles!
Tim Mungenast i hate to be the downer but its right. london's prosperity was england's downfall and its happening again across the ocean. strong feelings for you lot but take care.
Love Scotland. It's absolutely beautiful. And ah. The sass. Nowhere does sass as well as the British Isles. So dry, so sarcastic... it's perfect in every way, and Scotland is the crowning glory of that.
i got the joke even without knowing who he was and what he did lmao! my brain automatically went for "he must be a serial killer burying bodies in backyard" and laughed out
I've been to Scotland twice, fuckin' loved it! I only met one sane person there the whole time and he was the cop that frisked me in the airport. Stayed in Glasgow one time and had a blast. Played a gig in some place called Fat Boab's in Kincardine..which was like an open lunatic asylum and toured about off the beaten track around Saltcoats and a few other spots. Great people, and well worth a visit. All the best from Ireland.
Dundee was never the drugs death capital of Europe, neither was Edinburgh, even though Trainspotting promulgated that image of our capital, but sadly you are true about the first claim. I can't remember the year (maybe 1994?) but it was found in a study of European cities that Dundee had the highest prevalence of teen pregnancies. Not exactly a feather in our cap :/
+Georgia Prior :: I think in this season ,the best countries for traveling are Iran & India , you can see rare birds & Animals and amazing forests in Caspian sea ,And even Persian Cuisines and Indian Cuisines are great,..I know these countries very well because I have traveled to many remote areas in both countries
I'm an Australian of Scottish decent. Visiting Scotland is the one thing I wanna do before I die and this vid has given me so much more incentive. Cheers, Danny.. You're a fuckin legend!
Gaelic is the traditional language spoken here in scotland however it is rarely used outside of communities rife with incest. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was planning to visit Scotland one day. Then I came across this video while looking for more touristic information. I want to visit it even more now 😂 . Cheers from Argentina !
Hilarious vid and solid Scots sense of humor. I happen to love haggis on toast with my neeps and tatties but never been a big fan of black pudding, AKA scabs.
My wife and I spent 3 weeks there this year visiting before unmet relatives and making new friends. We had a great time and the natives made fun of my Texas accent while I teased them about theirs. We plan to go back as soon as possible.
Glad to hear it, friend :) Every society everywhere has it's share of delinquents and layabouts but Scots in general are friendly people, it stems from a code we have had that dates back more than a millennia - that any person in your "home" should be treated as a welcomed guest, even if they are your enemy. The 'Glencoe Massacre' in the 17th century where many of clan MacDonald were killed by clan Campbell became known as 'slaughter by trust' since one warring party welcomed the other into their homes believing their guests would honour the code. That incident turned the Campbell clan into pariahs as it was unheard of for a Scot to betray the code, let alone against fellow Scots. Sadly, this virtuous part of our history is not known to most modern day Scots unless they have taken an interest in their own history, as I do, but thankfully the idea that "every person in your home should be treated as a friend" seems to have permeated down through our culture to the present day. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope you do come back and enjoy another.
That clip was of John Smeaton, the guy who stopped a terrorist attack in Glasgow in 2007. A terrorist rammed a car full of burning gas cylinders into Glasgow airport and upon exiting his vehicle - while he was on fire - John punched him in the face, padded out the flames on his burning clothing and then set about hitting him some more. His interviews became internet memes because in an interview he said "If you start that shite up here we'll set aboot ye!" 'Setting about' someone means jumping on and attacking them. Incidentally Jihadis never tried again, I imagine the image of a Scottish guy beating the shit out of a burning terrorist stuck with them.
When you hear that first note, it does send a shiver down your spine 🤣 i frankly enjoy listening to bagpipes, but YES at the very beginning of the songs there's always a moment of total disconnect
lol.Never been there but love all things Scottish.My grandad still got his accent and passed down traditions thru the family..Aye even inherited a taste for laphroag..Proud of my Scottish roots..Jason Mckenzie(New Zealand)
I’m from Fiji, my wife Scottish...... so I put this on to show my three boys about their Scottish side....... the spear chucking side seems more fascinating to them now......🤦🏻♂️
I'm studying abroad in Scotland right now and I kept going, "I've been there!... I know that place!... Hey, that's (blank)!... Oh, I remember that!... Hey, I'm going there next week!" Also, I happen to like the bagpipes. And the brogue. *rawr*
Went to Scotland in 1984. Had a great time prowling around the country on the wonderful train system. Even sat and played cribbage on the train to Perth with a Falklands War veteran who had a steel plate in his skull. He won the damned game … Scottish super powers? Or steel plate could sense my cards? Regardless, when you live in Canada, Scotland in October is like summer! Great video, Danny!
Lol! I grew up with that sound. The Bag Pipers were the bomb in my HS! The whole band was! It was weird, the geeks were popular, as were the band members who traveled to England and Scotland every year to play. I played piano, but I should have been in Color Guard damn it!My HS was topsy turvy in that way...but the band members didn't get bullied, they were envied.
I dunno why Scottish are always on about the amount of rain. I lived there for 5 years and all I saw was occasional light rain. It’s the grey sky and lack of sun and blue sky that gets you down.
i learnt everything i needed to know about Scotlands culture and language from Rab C Nesbitt. on a side note: this couldve been funnier seeing as Danny is quite funny.
Erald Ylli You do realise those parts are perfectly fine to eat ? How the fuck do you even get to a state that a part of a corpse is suddenly the wrong one to eat ?
key2010 The taste of haggis always depends on your accent. If you have an English or American accent, then there's a good chance that the chef pissed in your haggis! ;)
He is one of ma favourite comedians - didnae need the reference to tourettes which can be a truly horrifice and incredibly painful condition for people who are afflicted wi it and I believe not everyone wi tourettes has the coprolalia element but i could be wrong am no an expert jist know sufferers who have suffered fur years. However naebudys perfect least o aw me, n most folk urny really familiar wi this condition so mebbe don't realise the impact this cood huv on the sufferers. PLJFC
janet connor I agree. I saw Danny, live, a couple of years ago, and he was great. Comedians use several maladies to make a point funny, and because they can't get away with physical or developmental problems anymore (not politically correct...although it doesn't seem to have hurt Trump) they've switched to neuro-chemical problems, like Tourette's and ADHD. I have a son with ADHD and it does piss me off when jokes are made at the expense of kids with these problems, but it's unlikely anybody is going to stop anytime soon. But you are bang on - it's not so funny when you are living with it or have a child who suffers with it. Having said that, I still love Danny, all things Scottish (except the bar brawls ) and the bagpipes ! ....o flower of Scotland..,when will we see your like again. That stood and died for yer we bit hill and glen. Ahh..sigh.
I love scotland, ive lived here all my life (16 years) and i probebly always will hehe. It may be cold but its beautiful. I love Danny Bhoy he is so funny. Emma x
Excellent, only seeing this 8 years too late. Very true but every few years we get a year like this year, which has just been stunning sunshine and amazing autumn and now winter colours which makes up for the 6 years of shite weather we have put up with.
