I went to high school with Mike Myers - Sir John A Macdonald CI in Toronto - and we all walked around spouting fake Scottish accents...many years later watched Shrek with my kids and chuckled at how he had morf'd that same accent, too funny.
Now lad , you know and I know that Sir John A Macdonald is no in Toronto ya numpty bastard . It's in Scarborough , which was founded by the David Thomson a good Scotsman in 1795 .
@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid Where do you think Angus beef originates , it is shite to say Scottish food is crap go to Scotland , and you will say a different tune when there .
@@duncancallum I lived in Scotland for a few years and really like some of the traditional foods. I was sitting with some friends one day at lunch and someone mentioned haggis and I said I liked it. One of my Scottish buddies asked, "You like haggis?" I replied, "Yeah. Don't you?" He said "I've never eaten it. I know how it's made." I said, "What the hell? That would be like a Mexican saying he doesn't eat tamales because he knows how they're made." He said, "Oh God. I love tamales. Please don't tell me how they're made." I said, "Ask me about maronga, then." He didn't ask, but I could tell he wanted to know. "Black pudding", I said. "Please stop talking about Scottish food. People are eating here", he replied. Deep fried haggis from the chippie... Ya beauty!
Walken's mother is originally from Castlemilk in Glasgow here in Scotland and he has visited the city many times to see family and friends over the years
My grandfather came from "the old country" as a child of three in 1923, and he still had a slight accent. His mother, my Great Grandmother, was almost impossible to understand. Her accent was very thick, even after 70 years in America. That tiny old woman was as tough as nails though. She raised 5 boys and 2 girls mostly on her own.. My brother and I would sit and listen to them talk amongst themselves. It was if we were transported across an ocean and 100 years in the past.. Sadly, they're all gone now.
“Ah-luv-yeouuu” 😂😂😂 has been stuck in my head ever since. He parlayed a lot of this but into ‘I Married An Axe Murderer” Mike Myers is a freakin genius!!!
@@bostonrailfan2427 broonies? yeah, i seem to recall something 'bout them. that's not just the scottish name for lepricon? cookie/biscuit type thing? i 'member my 5th grade teacher reading us a story 'bout some scotsman and his run in with all thoe fairy type things. i seem to recall a half man half goat. so, no odd lepricon tramping 'round scotland then? as the man pointed out they're only 13 miles apart.
I'm guilty of this send up! I'm from the West Midlands n love going to Scotland its such a beautiful place n at work I always shout "I'm going for a wee ya bastards" in a terrible Scottish accent 😆
@@wokeybrokey8006 I know I'm dumping on Mike Myers, but "So I Married an Axe Murderer" is funny. Anthony LaPaglia, Alan Arkin, and Nancy Travis are great in that movie. I think it's Mike's Scottish character is funny in doses, and a great side character. But having a scene where the Scottish guy is the straight man doesn't work.
@@behrwillsonn4842 i agree that's why the axe murder film was hilarious as it was his dad he played....the only jock worth listening to as a leading role is Sean RIP...I am a jock bye the way 😀
"All Scottish cuisine is based on a dare"...Absolutely. When I attended The Univ of Edinburgh, not only did they deep fry pizza----but in the same oil they fried their fish & chips!
I love watching him staring at the quecards barely looking at Myers.... God this was painful. As I suspected considering the broadcast time is rarely funny Of Course what gets cut is gonna be terrible....
"Oh, they're the same, are they? HAVE A LOOK AT A MAP! THERE'S IRELAND, THERE'S SCOTLAND, THERE'S THE BLOODY IRISH SEA! THEY'RE SEPARATE! NOW GET OUT!"
It wasn’t til I was in Scotland when I asked the bus driver what was “ Simpson” (my maiden name) and he said it was from the Clan Fraser! I had always assumed it was English!
@Russell Collier Well, Sutherland did an All Things Scottish sketch, yes. But it was a different script. Walken and MacCalachian did the exact same script.
Think about how lucky the contemporary generation of fans are to have all the cut for air sketches saved. And then as the years go further back they get rarer and rarer to find the ‘cut from Dress’ segments, would love a whole collection like these
The good news is that SNL themselves have started releasing some of them on their own YT channel as well, so there will be even more available to see. Some of these cut sketches are actually better than some of the ones that make it to air and it makes you wonder how in the heck the decision was made to let go of some of these.
Being an American of Scottish blood, I’m proud of my family’s history and accomplishments over the centuries. I remember my grandmother vacuuming the house while playing the Black Watch on her stereo at near full blast! And my grandparents had their home on a corner lot and the Mexican kids would always walk across the lawn instead of staying on the sidewalk, I remember him yelling “GET OFF MY LAWN DAMMIT” lol.
This sketch was kept, dusted off and used with Kyle MacLachlan when he hosted . SO IT TOTALLY WAS SEEN AGAIN! I excerpted it for the Mike Myers’s SNL section of The Hilarious Story of Canadian Comedy a show I made
I’m from the Scottish highlands and I can’t stand Mike Myers, but he does do a decent accent. Probably helps that he’s Canadian and there’s loads of us over there!
No surprise why this was cut, but I'm guessing this was the genesis of "So I Married An Axe Murderer", which I still like better than any of Mike's other movies.
First time I ever heard Walken do an accent… it’s surprisingly not too bad lol. Better than I ever thought a Cristopher Walken Scottish accent would be. 🤣
im still looking for his dvd, when i get it , i will put what i can up, sooner or later i will see it, this one is pretty good, but he has done some really funny stuff on SNL , better than this. Thanks for watching !
it's no bad coming from a glaswegian..His mum is glaswegian but you'd never really know. Mike Myers has been brought up surrounded by Scots in Canada having Scouse parents..But Mike Myers is WAY better at the accent.👌👌👌🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
"It heeearts, it heeearts..." LOL, I forgot about that part. Bring up your mother ... Chris, c'mon. FULL repect to Mike Myers parent(s) who raised a clever, hard-working entertainer
.Mike Myers is a super actor and comedian, he does british accents e.g. Austin powers and Scottish, fat bastard great, and very funny, the second customer played the guy in wedding singer who did audition for Adam Sandler
This sketch aired, but with a different "son". (Kyle MacLachlan, I think.) Aside from that it was identical so far as I can remember. As you might guess from my name, this line of SNL sketches was popular in my house.
They ultimately did still use the "Everything Scottish" storyline because I remember distinctly the "If it's not Scottish it's crap!" line from back then. A lot of people were repeating that for a few weeks after it aired.
We recently took a cruise, and our last port of call was Halifax Nova Scotia. In the port souvenir shop, next to a kilt, the sign said, "if it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!" I almost fell over laughing.
The skit brought back some fond memories of my early childhood. My mother came from Scotland to the U.S. in Jan. 1930 . I went with my mother to Scotland in 1960. I saw where was born and the coal mine she and her parents worked. My friends always and others ask me what did she just say because of accent. That always puzzled me?
