@@alexandermaddox8695 ну, если в США 26 городов с названием "Москва", то почему бы и паре Дублинов не оказаться? Тем более, что ирландцев то с США наверняка куда больше, чем русских 😂
they just had to say it like Russians do..... this lift would just fall and hide somewhere frightened))))))) or in German)))))) historically the most coarse, rude and frightening accents....
Here in New Zealand I was given a voice-activated Television to trial. It took the best part of two weeks to get it to shift to channel 10. My programme was finished, needless to say. Maybe it was the Scot in me (on my mum's side) but my reaction was much the same.
I went on a trip this past weekend to Hilton Head, South Carolina. The rental car had an audio GPS so you could speak the destination where you wanted to go. Without exaggeration my boyfriend was able to tell her at least 15 different commands, and she recognized all of them. EVERY time I tried, she did not understand what I said. This happened at least 10 times. It reminded me so much of this video. I just started telling her “11“!!!
What's funny is the GPS unit I got from my father spoke in an American accent so poorly (it was made in Germany!) that I couldn't stop laughing. This was too distracting so I fumbled through the accent settings to find whatever the hell I could understand best. I would try driving around while it gave me directions, switching the accent settings whenever I kept getting confused. Lo and behold, the Swiss-German accent worked best and I am NEITHER! I don't know why the hell it was the easiest to understand.
We were being escorted through Frankfurt Airport by a Scottish lady (my wife is a bit disabled) last week on returning from America. When we were in the lift, I carefully ennunciated "eleven", in my best fake Scottish accent. She almost wet her undies.
Every time I get to page 11 in ANYTHING...I have to quote this. If the people around me don't understand what I just did, we stop and watch this video. Also, for an entire year when my son was eleven, I didn't use his first name. I just called him "ELEVEN!"
I'm suddenly reminded of the voice controlled software I tried to run on my Atari back in the 90's. That didn't work either. Imagine, trying to teach your computer how to do things by voice command, but first ... you need to get it to understand your command, how to make sense of what you're saying to it ... and then teach it what everything means. And then get it to recognize YOUR voice every time. It was just as frustrating as ELEVEN! My "Oh do whatever ya like!" came very close to "Take us anywhere, ya cow!"
I can't remember the last time I wept with laughter. I just heard of this video in a New York Times article which mentioned the difficulties of lipreading certain accents.
Similar story. My grandmother showed me this a few years ago. She was very passionate about Scotland, even though she’s never been there. She passed away a year ago. Decided to rewatch it to bring some memories)
I decided to watch this with subtitles on and it just made it funnier, the automatic subtitles butcher it completely. Highly recommended to watch with subtitles 🤣🤣
even after years or speaking and learning english I still don't catch every word, BUT it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. No idea why it only got 1,2m views so far.
An in-joke is a joke that relies on knowledge that only the people sharing the joke have. Dick Van Dyke's performance in _Mary Poppins_ is common knowledge.
@@IHateRU-vidHandles615 They are still pretty famous. The sequel to the film, _Mary Poppins Returns,_ came out only about four years ago, and Dick Van Dyke is still getting himself talked about in the news. Even if they weren't famous, it still wouldn't be an in-joke.
Being part-Scottish myself, this is the first time I've seen and laughed at something so hard I cried. I may be American, but I embraced my Scottish heritage on my dad's side. This really made my day! SCOTLAND!🤣
Someone just posted this on Twitter and it's the first time I have seen it. I have been laughing so hard watching this I could barely see my laptop screen! LOLOLOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
I think of this every time I try talking to my Subaru Voice driven console - which is just as hopeless in 2023 as when this skit was done. 'Please' - I'm with them! Why would a machine be 'pleased' by my doing something??
it's taken me eight years to realise that they could have said ten and then used the stairs. Well, that's sucked the joy from another vid. My work here is done. Mwahaha
