Billy Connolly on The Late Late Show. (2/2)

[fett1818]

I love Billy Connolly

[Phoenix1664]

@ilikevines Haha i dont think theres such a thing as an Australian shit hole mate, like Billy says on his tours, you Australians dont seem to realise you all live in paradise. So a shit hole in paradise is still pretty damn nice. You wanna see the shit hole I live in England, I live in a small run down town called crook thats in the Arsehole of nowhere. Anyways thats all gonna change cos im moving to Oz in 6 weeks time, gonna work over there for a year. Wheres this fish n ship shop? :-)

[VamLoveAndKisses]

My bucket list now includes 'Eat deep fried mars bar'.

[Nerdylation]

[anava84]

[Roadie92]

[bansheewhiskey]

[bud4724]

billy conolly is a sexy beast. lol. i love his attitude and his humour. hes just the legend.

[littlefishy0]

Oh! I remember Craig retelling this story a few months ago when he visited San Francisco during his book tour! Glad to know the face of the man behind the story. :D What an interesting guy he is!

[graineag]

Aye, you can tell when Craig quickly corrects himself from saying "caravans" to the American term, "trailers."

Fried Mars Bars are not so great on their own, but utterly magical when paired with ice cream... Mmmmm...

[CherylL66]

I think it's so cute how Craig was slipping back into his real accent (or would the correct term be dialect? idk) when talking to Billy....did you notice it was thicker and faster? He usually seems to try to ""Americanize" his accent a little... People always seem have this 'slip' when talking to people from 'back home'.... I grew up in the Ozarks and when I come back to the city from a visit, my friends say I sound like a freakin' HICK...LOL! Just an observation, not a complaint! I Love it!

[eatsumsoup]

Yeh, my dads scottish n lives in australia n wen he's wiv his scottish friends his accent gets stronger n he talks faster 2 =p

[TunTy8]

Its because its easier and you dont have to worry about people not understanding you-they have there own patter

[flabbyllama]

I'm from Essex.. and I can get deep fried Mars Bars down here, they're niiice.

[madferit1690]

av tried a deep fried mars bar when a wis really fuckin drunk, went into a chippy and jist askd for one. tastes fuckin disgustin man

[AberdeenECC1983]

I'm actually from the very place that invented the deep fried Mars Bar...it looks distinctly terrible! lol

[KungfuCow5]

Have you tried one?

[AberdeenECC1983]

tastes the closest to what I imagine crap to taste like.

[apacheslim]

[xxxKimber17xx]

[songratingaccount]

[warriorofwrestlingv3]

Then you should find one, and try one. They are as nice as the idea of them is horrendous

[KINGdazza18]

@TheSpartanNPE I was living in Ireland for a year, and I saw it! XDDD As I'm a spanish myself I was shocked! didnt try it tho...

[TaskMaster619]

@TheSpartanNPE

Really? I've been going up every year for 17 years and I always see at least one in a fish and chip shop...

[Bigturns33]

My uncle makes them at his chip shop

[ShRiNkInGMuShRoOmS]

@TheSpartanNPE they sell them in the chippy doon the road from me :)

[djbadlt]

@TheSpartanNPE ive always wanted to try a King Rib myself

[GalfRendun]

@TheSpartanNPE They exist, I have seen with my own eyes!

[SpawtAwnProductions]

@TheSpartanNPE I've lived in Scotland 9 months and visited it 17 times before then and seen plenty of them.

[MagillaGo]

@TheSpartanNPE They exist. If you live in or near Glasgow, or next time you're in the city, check out the University Cafe chip shop on Byres Road across from the Western Infirmary. I tried one once, it was okay: just tasted like a hot, melted mars bar.

[JammyDodger2012]

Oh really? What about:

television, penicillin, the telephone, tarmac, the pneumatic tire, the steam engine, the radio, railways, bicycles, ultrasound, fridges... etc etc

[bill18286]

sorry mate, but the phone's not ours ... apparently alex graham bell stole the patent ...

[Cybopath]

that is a rumor that's still up in the air due to Bell and numerous others including Thomas Edison working on the Telephone at the same time. never the less it was Bell who was awarded the patent and it was he who built the machine and made the first phone call.

[CropDusterMan]

I grew up listening to Billy....love the guy!

[clarevieeeew]

funny as fuck.but the late late show in ireland owns the name.the longest running chat show in the world.49 years at least i think.

[MrMarkgreene11]

yeah but lets face it, our late late show in ireland is hosted by a plank and its shocking....

[blairisking]

couple of scots guys on american tv talking good old scottish banter brilliant!!!

[plypayj3]

its fucking classic, those americans probley dont get the hummor, I think its fucking funny as fuck

[ngdubz]

How about we make some more generalizations...

[calumsmith2]

i love how craig's accent went a little bit more scottish when there was a scot on the show

[snoozeyoulose19]

it went waaay more scottish! my mum is scottish and lives in london but we have family down it's a wee bit this and a wee bit that!!!!

[Zebbadi]

aye av noticed tae his accent goes pure broad when he chats to scottish folk! americans will find him well hard to understand lol! :P

[nightcarver]

Good Info on some of the things about Scotland..Its sad though..using stats about scotland as a joke. Maybe its a UK news reporting fact..Hey laugh all about the negative things..dont highlight the positive

[officertapbody]

its not comady if you talk about all the happy nice things nightcarver

[tennscot]

Last time I was back in Glasgow, I bumped into Billy on Argyll St., Near the old anderson bus Station. We spoke for a min., or two.... No Airs & Graces. Is there maybe a wee bit jealousy Rollover ????

[moxichick67]

OMG! Craig's accent gets really thick when he has Scottish guests. Check out other Scottish guests. They are a hoot!

[rollieroller]

dont call a scotmin jock unless you want a black aye hey jimmy mibe but no jock

[rollieroller]

aye billy loves scotland so much his arse is hasny set foot on scottish soil for over 7 years hes funny dinny get me wrong but hes a walliper and aboot as scottish as my arse is welsh

[brydogary]

what you on about he was over last week me and my mates were talking to him

[Kinlochbervie50]

"in a caravan... ehh, i mean a trailer, yeah"

[westfield1977]

WeirdFields: If you have a strong accent then you have to soften it so people here(The U.S) can understand you. I have had to soften mine since i came here.

[enniskillenatheist]

What a legend, still funny after all these years

[saraj12]

legend min

[JoshTurner11]

Despite being an Englishman, my nickname is Jock because i have so many Scottish traits and hobbies. Show me someone who doesn't love the Scottish and i guarantee he is a wanker.

[kalinka04]

What's the connection between "Jock" and the Scots? I suppose, being American, I wouldn't know.

[JoshTurner11]

Jock is the English nickname for the Scots. A bit like you calling me a 'limey'

[coatbridgemadman]

1)the English call the Scots "jocks"

2) the English call the Irish "paddys"

3)the English call the Welsh "taffys

and 4) the Scots the Irish and th Welsh call th English fucking wank stains!!!

[Cfffx]

LMAO! coatbriger, shoulda known ;)

[lensbear]

lol.aye fucking english cunts think they rule the world.most hated nation on the planet.fact

[flygweilo]

I know the Scots, and this is the delusional fantasy of just a few Scotsmen, whose emotional development arrested in puberty.

I can only imagine how popular you are everywhere you go...

[lensbear]

well done,how long did it take you to think that up fucking arsehole..........now fuck off

[flygweilo]

Oh, the wit and the repartee.

Your sentiment might be clearer if it were properly punctuated - but, alas! No such luck.

I have encountered hate-mongers like you during the time I spent in Scotland, and I can only say you are less popular even in your own country than you imagine us to be anywhere.

You need to lift your gaze to a farther horizon, and try stepping outside your own small circle of friends, who reinforce your ignorant and stereotypical view of the world.

[aocnn87]

tofftastic

[flygweilo]

You have sex with bagels, do you ... ?

I might have guessed.

You have obviously put a lot of thought into your reply.

[flygweilo]

I am prepared to concede that you have vastly more experience with things being shoved up your arse than i do.

Indeed, it sounds as if it is, for you, not just a daily but a continuous condition.

Please don't make this so easy for me - it really isn't any fun.

[CRAV3NA7OR]

lol, i cant beleive im arguing on youtube with a kid whos doin that thing where u just take an insult and say it bk about the person who said it, jeez man, grow the fuck up

[flygweilo]

It would seem ludicrously hypocritical for you to complain about allegedly childish behaviour after all the things you have been initiating about sex with bagels and shoving things up your arse.

I see you have removed the more infantile of your comments - I presume out of shame?

And if you don't like arguing with me, then I have a simple and foolproof solution for you: - just stop.

Aren't you tired of humiliating yourself yet?

[stonerosesphil]

If only my misses hated me as much as you, I'd no have to pump her think how England rules the world!!!

[Frankie1992]

hahahhhahahahha

[JaymohrDude]

yasss mon the coatbridge X)

[flygweilo]

That must have taken you ages. And such originality.

If we do use those national nick-names as you suggest, they are used in a far fonder and more friendly fashion than 4).

So - I'll rest the charge of bigotry on that - but then talking sense to you will almost certainly prove to be as effective as talking French to a tree.

[coatbridgemadman]

do u want yer baws rattled ya wee english poofter ?

[flygweilo]

I see ... what's the correct answer to this question? "Yes" or "no"?

I imagine I'm supposed to be impressed or something, am i?

I wish I could be bothered....

yawn.

[coatbridgemadman]

u should be asamed 2 be english ya fucking wee scabby poofter !

[myheartisonthebside]

Is your accent so thick that it affects your ability to type?

[flygweilo]

Is that all you've got?

You just sound desperately insecure - and out of your depth.

[stonerosesphil]

Fuck you ya bell end, I'm an English/Scot, and you could depress a prozac with you wank, yawn...........

[jbblue48089]

@coatbridgemadman

I've heard they call America the "Colonies." Damn it, we're America. Not colonists. Americans.

[TimboooJ]

@coatbridgemadman amen :L

[jordanthecat]

Fascinating to hear Craig's speech slip right back to his natural Scottish accent during this interview. I don't think he would have been aware of it at the time- correct me if I'm wrong.

[WeirdFields]

it happens a lot when people have been abroad, then meet people from their homeland. billy connolly doesn't sound exactly scottish anymore either

[ViceroyShazul]

If you look at any recent interviews of sean connery he doesn't sound scottish anymore at all.

[lensbear]

sean connerys a wanker.always on about his country,full of shit.same as tom jones and wales.billies a true scots man..and a celtic bhoy

[ServeChilled1956]

so being patriotic makes you an idiot? I see the connection....

[cybertommo]

That's why he doesn't live in Scotland!

[lensbear]

hes got 3 homes in scotland you fucking retard

[brydogary]

look for his show in edinburgh him whistling the sash hilarious

[Frankie1992]

I live in Perth..but when I go to Glasgow..my accent naturally switches as I talk to Glaswegians. Sometimes you just can't help it..it's like osmosis.

[lensbear]

frankie dont talk fucking bollocks pal....so if i went to wales i would be like.......arite butt whas happening butt.dont think so you numptee.mind you he is from perth everyone.lmao

[Frankie1992]

How do you explain peoples accents changing then? Seriously, if a 10 year old moves from America to England, their accent changes. I'm not necessarily saying that if you went to Wales for an hour you'd come back speaking like Rob Brydon. All I'm saying is that when I see my family in Glasgow, my accent changes a wee bit. I can't explain why that is. Well done on making me type the longest youtube comment ever.

[lensbear]

lol.what a load of shite............nae bother by the way.you got me talking like a weegie now.lol

[illi10nis27]

i really enjoy watching craig interview his fellow scots or people from the UK. he does sustain his accent talking to the brits and it's more enjoyable listening to that. (for me, personally).

[railbird4u]

felt like a competition

[shadowflex]

I was born in the hospital oposite the royal car museum (Oh yeah such a place!) And thats in Glasgow I think Billy's the man but I had that American twat who acts Scotish ¬_¬ You see the fear in his eyes when Billy grabs him by the neck before the ad's .... Classic

[coolcelt]

where is that? Do you mean the Royal Infirmary? I dont know any royal car museum in Glasgow, and I lived there for 37 years.

[BobMacDonnachaidh]

The Transport Museum next to Kelvingrove, maybe?

[coolcelt]

Maybe its Yorkhill or the Western he's talking about then as the hospital.

[tiewebb]

There is no such thing as a royal car museum,only the transport museum in the Kelvin Hall,though a new build is underway,where all the trams etc will soon be on show.I know,i am working on the new museum.:-)

[tonypop07]

People from Glasgow do like him, the only thing they have a problem with is his friendship with the Bloody Royal family.

[GillisMcClouder]

Aye, he sorta started to forget where he came from, after a Glasgow man from the audience blasted him about it.

[cashfan223]

You'd think the accent would be a reminder...

[CountryQuestion]

why do they have to portray all Scottish people as nostalgic fannies, theyre both arseholes who live in mansions

[goldenirish]

notice how billy awakens craig's scottishness. his accent deepens , he goes back to using "wee"

[scrumdiddly]

Do you have any idea how much effort it must take to Americanise? It's like unzipping his fly!

[goldenirish]

i'm not complaining I actually prefer his scottish accent

[Charmlessman77]

Yeah, I live in the US but grew up in Scotland. People do not realise how much my accent has softened until I talk t omy family back home, or anyone from Scotland and my Scottishness bursts forth! I agree, I prefer the pure dead brilliant Glesga accent.

[perthged101]

BIG YIN RULEZ OK!!!

[Smeagoldor]

I'm frae Scotland and the Big Yin rules!

[radecor]

Aye, am from Glasgow as well and I think he is Fucking great. Ya FUD ! X

[hgrubbs]

Wow. People from Glasgow can't stand him? That's news to me. My Mum is from Glasgow and absolutely loves him. I must admit I liked him better when he did the folk stuff as well but I still get a stomache ache from laughing when I watch him.

Thanks for the great post!

[mkarmam]

if you could get through the foliage...lol
