All Things Scottish w/ Christopher Walken

[captainironears]

What is Christopher Walken looking at the whole time?

[MastaKadaj]

This is like the exact same skit they had in the 1990 season. Except with Kyle McLaughlin instead of Christopher Walken.

[peacefrog1916]

Christopher Walkens mum was Scottish, interesting fact.

[mj0sefs0n]

@peacefrog1916

Right, he's half Scottish, half German, from Queens. His Glasgow-born mum died just a few years ago, she was in her 100s. He still did a bad Scottish accent in this skit, but chalk it up to the character he was playing has lived in the US for many years.

A guy I work with remembers his father's bakery in Astoria, Queens; which he still operated for quite a few years after his son became famous

[peacefrog1916]

@mj0sefs0n Cool. I live in Glasgow.

[mj0sefs0n]

@peacefrog1916

I spent a week circa Christmas/New Year's/Hogmanay in the Garnethill area of Glasgow in 1997/98, at a hostel full of drunk Aussie/Kiwi backpackers. I remember that I was terribly sick with bronchitis, flu, or something nasty, constantly coughing yet smoking pack after pack of cigarettes, and just drinking, drinking (something I didn't do at home). I was 27, had never really traveled much on my own and I traveled for about 6 weeks around Britain after losing a job.

[mj0sefs0n]

@peacefrog1916

It was kind of a depressing holiday, I suppose, yet now I look back on it fondly.

I just remember being sick and drunk and sitting in that hostel's lounge, watching the Teletubbies.

[Intactivistnet]

Proud to be from Kearny, NJ!!!

[mj0sefs0n]

@Intactivistnet

Up Kearny!

[medhat4B]

Christopher's kilt isn't on the right way, by the way. This skit had potential.

[mj0sefs0n]

How come nobody jokes about he Welsh in America?

[KataarSolo]

@mj0sefs0n Coz the Welsh take it to heart - anywa naib'dai kens fitcher awnaboot! - lol

[MastaKadaj]

@mj0sefs0n Most Americans don't know anything about Wales except sheep shagging and being England's retarded neighbour. (At least, that's the stereotypes we hear over here.)

[mj0sefs0n]

@MastaKadaj

I think most Americans believe Wales are a type of marine mammal, actually.

I'm an American who's actually been to Wales (North and South) and I discovered that wasn't the case.

[MastaKadaj]

@mj0sefs0n lol, perhaps so. I'm also American, but I watch a lot of English/U.K. movies and tv shows, so my info on Wales comes from those. Never been there, though.

[mj0sefs0n]

@MastaKadaj

Monty Python had some skits making of the Welsh, and Terry Jones is a Welshman. That was probably my first awareness of them!

[mj0sefs0n]

@mj0sefs0n

* making fun

[AidComics]

walken gives the worst scottish accent i've ever heard, even Jon Lovitz does a better job.

Mike Myers is pretty decent as always

[KataarSolo]

@AidComics Does Christopher Lambert do better in Highlander? lol - there are some tragic efforts out there.

[mdcarlson14659]

I'm 2 minutes in and everyone who is in this is famous

[haggischick007]

lol the sign says Kearny NJ...too cool!!! lots of scots moved there years ago! they actually called it Little Scotland for a while!..love kearny!

[MrJim2114]

@NadiaUzzell; No even someone who isn't Scottish would now that Walken's accent was crap. lol

[NadiaUzzell]

Only a real Scotsman would know Christopher Walken's accent is CRAP!

[celticonduct7]

@NadiaUzzell He's Christopher Walken. His accent is crap, but he can do no wrong. He's beautiful. Just like his mothar.

[jodicoady]

"All of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare!!!" ha ha ha

[dundonian35]

How does he do a great Scottish accent in Shrek but a crap one here? Walken is one of my very favourite actors, but he was obviously reading autocue or something here. Too noticeable. Still one of my favs tho.

[jodicoady]

@dundonian35 I've noticed that the latest casts all read cue cards...Back then it was few and far between.

[Koshka42]

They did do this skit when Kyle Maclachlan hosted, he was awesome as the son

[kiltcult3170]

"you chube!"

[kiltcult3170]

if it's not scottish it's crap!



[Gadge87]

Walkens accent isnt too bad, looks like he is reading his lines off a cue card tho lol. They both sounded Indian at one point as well =D

[WhiteTrashBarbarian]

All things Scottish and Pizza....hhhmmmm

[LucisFerre1]

And that Victoria Jackson is a right bonny lass...well, not really.

[beverage2008]

"stupid kilt?" = *PUNCH* :)

[CelticMairi]

Brings back memories of the men in my family. After a few bevvies, they'd be arguing and ready to pick a fight. Then all of a sudden, they'd be singing together, spouting how great each other was.............great times!

[AeroAtlas]

If its not Scottish its crap. So true :)

[VangeistXIII]

Mike Myers Scottish accent is quite decent, especially with Shrek.

[mcphail49]

Awright, how ye doin. By the way, Christopher Walken makes a crap scotsman.

[konrad92pp]

You tube!

[KeepCalmHaveCupcakes]

I laugh every time he says "bastard". Awesome!

[antigen4]

christopher walken's accent makes mike myers' accent actually sound passable!! painful!!

[enterprise1954]

The sketch is too long, which is probably why it was canned, but it does capture the the binary emotions of many Scots [I'm Scottish]. Myers grew up in a place with Scots migrants and he's nailed the phrases if not the accent. Check out his film 'So I Married An Axe Murderer'. He based the main characters on people he knew back home. Christopher Walken's mother was Scottish, even if his accent isn't and his 'Wee Man' rings true. I wouldn't essay a Queen's accent so well done by him.

[ihab1000]

"OH THATS IT! PICK A WINDOW!"

[butterslacks109]

It's Artie Ziff

[jetfighter457]

Even now mike meyers sounds like shrek...lol

[libville]

"Put me in a longboat, set it ablaze and pitch me out to sea". Awesome!

[Ashitaka255]

Christopher Walken's Scottish is so bad.

[JakRock]

HAHAHA! He called him a tube! Fucking legend!

Christopher Walken's half Scottish. Yass!

[nolab143691]

i fill bad there life is in shambles do the the death of there mum

[14bj337]

Wait... Mike Myers is supposed to be Christopher Walken's dad?

Mind = blown.

[gotham61]

@14bj337 Walken is actually 20 years older than Myers.

[livinintwilightzone]

The typical Scottish bonding conversation I've had with mom a thousand times over. Love it!!!

[Bhikshu2]

I honestly thought he was going to use his normal voice for maximum juxtaposition.

Jesus christ my mind has been blown. Er, bloon.

[blahmehblah1]

@Bhikshu2 Last time I checked, we say it like Blown

not BLOON

buh - low - n

[TheRightOne13]

Christopher Walken actually is German-Scottish.. Just saying.

Anyway, Christopher Walken + Scottish Accent = Holy Sweet Lord My Life Is Made.

[Philinspaces]

I can see why it was cut.

[CanItAlready]

I've heard that "all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare" line somewhere before. Are you sure this sketch didn't air?

[mrrezdude1]

@CanItAlready its in so i maried an axe murderer

[kromdar75]

@CanItAlready

I remember that line from the same sketch with Kyle MacLachlan. Which happens to be the best joke about Scottish cuisine ever.

[blacbraun]

@CanItAlready It aired. I remember seeing it 20 years ago.

[CanItAlready]

"Da, it's DeVry. There's no books." LOL

I miss these sketches. But he's not yelling the "It's CRAP!" part the way he did in other All Things Scottish sketches.

[MiniMaster34ever]

i would so wanna go to that shop

[holywillie226]

Hilarious. I know people like that. Oh! I am one of them. lol

[LastNetwork2]

Walken is playing a guy named Angus in this sketch...About 15 years later, he would play "Colonel Angus".

[peterinfamilyguy]

"Knock on wood!"

*Knocks on sons head*

HAHAHAHAAHHAH!! Love this :D

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

he's looking at a teleprompter. really obviously.

[Batsh1tloco]

@d33pS3Ad1v3r cue cards...

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

@Batsh1tloco

teleprompter

[lovelikerazorblade]

LMAO at the door music

[AdmireRoxtars]

2:58 There is a shadow of what i assume is a microphone or something on the left corner above Mike Myers

[auntbecky]

I love the way you talk. You sound just like Shrek.

[ExtraStrongGeneral]

@auntbecky thats because he is the guy who voices Shrek LOL

[animalcrosser591]

Mike Myers could make a whole second career doing answering machine messages.

[itstherealmeok]

Actually, this sketch was seen again when Kyle MacLachlan guest starred. It was the same thing, word for word, only MUCH better.

[kornklone]

oh damn i remember this skit. well, the remade one that actually made it to TV

[tjoceasde]

They made the same comment about Scottish cuisine being based on a dare on tonight's MasterChef season premiere.

[TheStrazy]

Looks like MacFarlane kilts on the hangers next to the door "This I'll Defend" !!!!!

[smithersluvsburns]

I'd give Mike Myers $15 to put a message on my answering machine, LOL

[jontycampbell]

Walken doing an Irish accent, or a rubbish Scots one heheh

[joeblow238]

@jontycampbell walkens mother was born in glasgow, im sure he knows a thing or two about a scottish accent

[jontycampbell]

@joeblow238 If it's a prime example of an archetypal Glaswegian accent that's required to study, the perfect model is perhaps spoken by the character "Rab C. Nesbitt", played by Gregor Fisher. As a Scotsman, I must admit that is uncannily good!

[blacbraun]

@joeblow238 couldn't tell by this sketch though

[theBaron0530]

If you watch enough of Mike Myers' sketches, and his movies, you see how he tried bits out on SNL and reused them in the movies. The joke about Scottish cuisine being based on a dare turns up in "So I Married an Axe Murderer", too.

[wensew]

@theBaron0530 I've noticed that too. On Netfilix that you stream, they've got all of the 90's Saturday Night Live's, and I think it was the Wayne's World opening sketch when Micheal Jordan was hosting, and Mike Myers said someone had, "A huge melon! It's so big its got its own weather system!" (loose translation), which, as you probably know, he later used in "So I Married an Axe Murderer".

[mich8d8]

scotland, ireland, there the same thing, sad fact is that Americans are actually that ignorant. well America , Canada... meh same thing.

[cornishrex321]

I love this video its awsome !

[97846rich]

Does anyone know if this ever aired? This is the exact same script that was done with Kyle McLaclan because that one did air around '96 or '97. I can't imagine they did the same script twice.

[DLCOrganization]

Hey, Rich,

this dress rehearsal didn't air, but indeed this skit was retooled, the script

was brought down (there was no excessive flirting between Angus and Hillary),

and it was done with Kyle MacLachlan in 1990 (Mike Myers left SNL in 1995)!

And thank God for MacLachlan for making this skit as memorable line-by-line

as Monty Python's "Argument Clinic". Walken is a great actor and he performed

the accent well, but on this particular one, it just didn't work.

> Professor DLC

[SirusXIII]

"Oh it's the same are they? HAVE A LOOK AT A MAP!!!! THERE'S IRELAND! THERE'S SCOTLAND! THERE'S THE BLOODY IRISH SEA! THERE DIFFERENT!!"

LMAO!

[xsupermodel87]

I like the one with Kiefer Sutherland

[schneehundmutter]

It's a take off on My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

[theBaron0530]

@schneehundmutter - Sorry, no, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" came out in 2002, 7 years after Myers left SNL.

[deadzior]

olol walken reading lines all the time

[AutisticPersona]

2 people aren't Scottish....THEY'RE CRAP!!!!!!!!!

[SuperYellow1989]

jesus there wasnt one laugh from tht audience.............

[MaryFlute816]

@SuperYellow1989

That's because it was the dress rehearsal.

[gatorcc70]

Put away them bukes!

[maddkelt]

Does anyone have the All Things Scottish skit with Patrick Stewart?

[wisesatyr72]

Victoria was cute ..always want to shagged her.

[neroangelo8]

Walken's accent is crap, but it's still funny...haha

[FinalGamerJames]

Walken's Scottish accent is just excellent.

[stephiedawn99]

This was one of my favorite skits that Mike Myers would do. I want that door chime!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[Angelhedgewolfblood1]

what ever isnt scottish is CRAP

[va3svd]

Christopher Walken did a great voice of a Swedish guy with Irish notes pretending to be Scottish.

[smegnose]

His pronunciation of "Scottish" is disappointing XD His "o" sounds are so American :P

[sgtpoodlepants]

I can see why this scene was cut.

[malabosteve]

Brilliant , but does someone have the other SNL All Things Scottish Skit with Phil Hartman and Keifer Sutherland. Its rarer than Hens Teeth

[thetinar]

Christopher Walken makes a terrible scotsman, but that's exactly the charm. He's RIDICULOUS. XD
