I think that was the point. He was setting up that his grandfather gave him sage advice and then it turned out it was completely irrelevant to anything they were talking about. It’s not a proverb or anything, it was just meant to be madness.
Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two HEAVENLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest RU-vidr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear cha
@@AxxLAfriku Well it's Charles, not Cha, dear AxxL. And just to let you know...calling a woman handsome is typically something you'd say when the woman is over the age of 45, and who was once attractive. 😁 A "handsome girlfriend" could also insinuate that they are not actually girls, but men dressed in girls clothing. 😁 But dear axxL, your English is FAR better than it was in 2019. You're making progress!
Haha, well pointed out mate. I somehow do understand Scottish people but I must admit it has always been the toughest for me to decipher. Mind you, watching Limmy show had helped in my developing the listening skills to keep up with Scottish speak(if you will)
“Don’t grate it in the grinder” is like saying “don’t crack a nut with a sledgehammer” Basically saying don’t go over the top, be precise and be reserved.
It means dont judge a book by its cover, you don't grade flour while it's being ground, only after,, this is in reference to the bad press the first Sonic.
It's a true Scotsman who won't scroll any further than the first hit in a search. His ISP could conceivably stiff him with a 1/100,000th of a penny surcharge.
I imagine “don’t grate it in the grinder” has the same meaning as “don’t use a sledgehammer to crack a nut” [UPDATE: it’s “don’t grade it in the grinder”]
It's similar to "horses for courses"; specific tools are suitable for specific things. If you see a tradesman driving in a nail with the butt of a screwdriver you might say "don't grate it in a grinder". It could also be used as a general advice when saying goodbye to someone you know well, like "mind how you go". Don't grate it in a grinder.
The thing is, everything Limmy says makes perfect sense to Limmy. So he assumes Jim Carrey said something that made perfect sense to Jim Carrey, when in reality it was just the rambling of a madman.
limmy should be scotlands official "use of scottish culture" checker , goes around checking up on celebs using scottish accents and their ancestry to confirm they are allowed to use it hahaha
I think it was "grate" but I like your idea, which could also be understood as "don't grade it in the grinder because that'll ruin it". By judging it, you are also destroying it. Almost Heisenberg-ish.
Funny you said that, as an Irish mate used the word in a messages to me on facebook earlier and I laughed as I realised you might have been the same. You should know better to slag off the Scots, as we are both cut from the same cloth "mo chara".
I find it so odd that Limmy as a surreal comedian of all people was trying to analyze the joke and failing to understand it. Like he said, it was all meant to be an irrelevant non sequitur. Just madness. My grandad gave me this advice, oh wait, no, he was just insane.
"don't grade it in the grinder" Im Scottish and have never heard this either but I'd think it's probably something to do with wheat, where grading it is sorting it by various qualities for different purposes, leaving that to when it's at the stage of being ground for flour would be too late with the possibility of the whole lot being discarded. It's not anything like 'dont use a sledgehammer to crack a nut' but more to do with choosing your path wisely and timely instead of leaving it with the possibility of finding yourself too far down the wrong path.
I take it to mean more like don't judge the quality until the processing is done. It's apt advice when watching a movie trailer. Some trailers are edited for maximum hype, but the final whole movie is a disappointment, while a terrible-looking trailer might hide a compelling movie. Basically, don't judge an entire 90-minute movie solely on a 2-minute trailer.
I was thinking it had to do with meat. Prime, as in "prime rib," is a grade of meat, and we use meat grinders to make hamburgers, sausages, etc. Is it common to call a flour mill a grinder in Scotland?
As a Scotsman myself, Ive also never heard of it either? Never heard it said by anyone ever... and Carreys accent is awful (as most attempts usually are).
Jims Canadian. In Canada its pretty common to have a Scottish background. I got sent out to live with my grandpa from Scotland in Victoria, BC Canada and it took me so long to understand him, or to even realize he wasn’t yelling at me. Good Man he was.
I'm Scottish and I have family that live in Canada, including ones that have grown up there. Very funny accents, though I can understand it better than I understand an Inverness accent.
The saying is "Don't grade it in the grinder.", meaning "Don't judge something before it's finished.". I have no idea where it originates from or why the two above are so upset.
"Don't grade it in the grinder", like "Don't judge it until it's finished." Everyone was ripping the Sonic movie before it came out so he's saying give it a chance. I think.
Limmy catching the sound of a laugh track was really impressive to me - I’m glad he played it back I started hearing how odd the laughter actually sounded
I'm assuming it was 'Don't grade it in the grinder' meaning "it's no done yet, don't judge it" especially since he led into the bit by talking about how he was going to show a clip from Sonic where he will be playing Dr Robotnik.
@Latest Obsession No, it's absolutely "grade". The saying is "Don't grade it in the grinder." It means that you shouldn't judge something until it's finished, or until you know more, similar to "Don't judge a book by its cover.".
"I'd like to pass on a word of advice that my Scottish grandfather gave to me when I was just a boy, he said you've been x'd........." THE JAMIE KENNEDY EXPERIENCE, COMING BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND NEXT SUMMER ON THE WB--
I think it was just a weird phrase his grandpa would say but Jim probably latched onto it because those specific words let you really emphasize a Scottish accent
I thought it was just a nonesense piece of advice that doesn't mean anything. But listening again it could be that means don't put in an unnecessary step that will go to waste.
Whilst Limmy is tongue in cheek here he is also humourously correct. Remember he is a veteran comedian and he knows crowd laughter when he hears it. The canned laughter to Carey's "avatar, metaverse" joke was just that. Limmy half jokingly asks "was that funny?" But whilst Limmy was being light he was also right. The joke for me wasn't terrible but it didn't get any out loud reaction from me either. I've laughed out loud rewatching certain Limmy skits from his previous show but this slightly humorous quip by Carey hardly had me smile. The post production of some of these shows do dumb the audience at home from what's really funny and what is plain bland gag writing
@@mechanomics2649 whilst I still respect your comment I do revisit as to understand your not liking what I said. The point I wanted to make was that limmy was correct about the Carrey bit not being all that funny. The bit was leaning on being Scottish stereotype and my enjoying limmy in contrast was that all his own bits were funny without leaning on being Scottish exclusively. I have and love many Carrey gags but not because of a trope like this failed Scottish one. Limmy being Scottish on the other hand has made me laugh by merit and not by Scottishness. I guess that was my point and hope I've clarified here although clumsily. Still like your challenge to me though and totally get why you'd question my view
It took me a while to figure it out, but his grandfather pretty much said "Keep doing what you do best. Just don't wear yourself down in the process." Like how one is grating with food. Grate all you like, but don't do it until you touch the grinder or you lose your fingers. Basically his grandfather said don't put too much of himself out there.
“Dinnae grade it in the grinder.” You grade flour, but not until after you’ve ground it. It means something like don’t judge a book by its cover. He’s saying the “metaverse” is gonna be hell - we don’t need to see it to grade it.
This is the context that makes the most sense to me. Thanks for providing a point that connects to some kind of logic I can picture Jim Carrey going for. It was bugging me, so glad it's a tad clearer now.
His English and American accents are intentionally done badly to accentuate their mannerisms. Like most Scottish people, Limmy can probably do a perfect English accent if he wanted to (it just wouldn't be as funny as it is when he delivers it in the over the top way that he does). So yes i agree, his accents are terrible, but it's done intentionally.
It's just become easier to look out for, especially in these days where there's greater awareness of video editing, stagecraft, and the techniques used to make certain things happen.
@@BirdmanDeuce26 Maybe some of that, but I think it's more that people are more arrogant than before, and like in this case, they think if they didn't laugh, then no one should, especially not an entire audience. People also forget that things are funnier when you're in the audience itself, rather than watching a replay on youtube.
@@hamishbarrett7695 lmao there's no such thing as a laughter expert. a comedian- if an expert at all- would be an expert in their own brand of comedy.
