Scotland's Greatest Comedy Moment

[er10b]

Billy Connolly + Sting + banjo and guitar = epic.

It was on youtube years ago but was removed. I wish I had seen that episode or at least recorded a bit of it.

[Meerkatdawg]

Rikki Fulton was a genius

[myg0tpurepunk]

Scottish humour is laughing at yourself? Isn't that British comedy basically?

[Alchohollica]

@myg0tpurepunk Watch Fawlty Towers, then watch Rab C Nesbitt and then you will understand. Some English humor like Monty Python was just so in your face stupidity that it's actually cringe to watch and to think that people laugh at it. I'm sorry, but it's true.

[woodenspoonlover]

Supercop's a legend!

[malcolmcog]

Scottish comedy ? An oxymoron 

[1984LizardKing]

[o2bjedi]

There is a clip on here from Parkinson that features Billy Connolly and Sting. I had the whole show on VHS and it was brilliant. If anyone has seen it here on You Tube let me know!

[steviedoc193]

[gregtestagent]

[DarthKreeg]

Wasn't that rab c nesbitt in 1984?Plus he sounds like a random character from a harry potter video game.

[Shanx1975]

Sorry, I had something funny to say.....In de boredom I jus forgot. Apologies. De BBC will make up for it. They were so supportive back in de day, ye shud all smile!!!!!!!

[Mojosbigstick]

Anything from "The High Life"!

[TheSparkle7]

[cailleachthehag]

Which sketch won?

[thekendokid]

favourite rab c quote: "Wir aww just fag-ends....FAG-ENDS....in the toilet pan of life!"

haha live my life by those words

[Wodey25]

What was that last thing, with the priest saying he felt a prayer coming on?

[robsargent4]

@Wodey25 that's the Reverend I.M. Jolly, but I think he's meant to be a minister.

[aragorn202]

@robsargent4 It's actually Reverend David Goodchild. He was played by Rikki Fulton on Scotch and Rye.

[w1n6ed83a5t]

analysing a joke is like dissecting a frog,  no one is really that interested and the frog dies.

[MrSelidor7]

Billy Connolly is not fit to lick Ricky Fulton's boots.

[052864259]

rikkis face at 0:31 priceless:D

[tommy444able]

this is why i never watch our local news ...........full of poofs and wooden as fuck

[stormthelantern]

Those presenters' accents are very mild, like most of the Scottish has been washed out. Sad :(

[pancho8721]

I'm a polise oficer

[RossG257]

I think you'll the find the greatest scottish comedy moment is from still game.

"A pickled, boaby!"

[CHANNELOMD]

Scotlands SHAME,Google Hollie Grieg

I am a SCOT ,we have lost our FREEDOM

[arrghgarry]

Sottich humour ? if it is funny people will laugh however the best Scottich comedian is now English Micheal macintyre

[boabstewart]

canny spell your pish language baw heid

[fionastockings]

should have flashed his cock

[stigsfatcousin]

oooooooooooooooooo Craig is a tin roof lol

[TumblingDice1972]

reporting scotland presenters are so wooden,its awful

[UlsterLoyal72]

The English have some great comedy such as Fawlty Towers and Only Fools And Horses , but i do think Monty Python is over-rated. Scottish Comedy is by far funnier , you cannot argue with that , maybe the english will , but thats them. Rab C Nesbitt , Chewin the Fat , Still Game , Scotch and Wry , its things people in Scotland can relate to and thats what maks it funny!

[nekftw]

the entire world knows about british black comedy,

its well known.

and you look like a complete moron by saying idiotic ignorant things like english have no sense of humor

you probably think dane cook is the god of comedy anyway, i bet you are one of those retards.

[jeditesgirl1]

Anyone know of a link to that Billy Connolly sketch with Sting? Anyone got a link to that video by chance? Please and thank you!

[sergeantfan]

TAG-GART! LMAO

[Thystephen01]

rab c is fukn weeker

[Itsjusmac34]

The english have no sense of humour...

[NIGH8R88]

Yeah, it's not like they invented Monty Python or Peep Show or anything good like that...

[cherzo]

yeh british comedy is great full stop :)

[globaltraveller]

Have to say, I've never understood the appeal of Monty Python. The most overrated English crap.

[GotForGimmick]

I agree with NIGH8R88. I'm Scottish but get off it, the English have great humour. Just because you don't like them doesn't give you the right to just make shite up.

[mustardstane]

rab c is my pal's dad's cousin.

[Shonaghification]

Guessing your English lol and the whole world knows you lot never smile where as we do and are welcome all over the world except England and who cares about that my god you dont even accept our money!!!!

[NIGH8R88]

I'm guessing you're scottish because you can't spell.

[jobicanobe]

How can you say jocks are funny. Apart from the odd few comedians, they are the most miserable, dour, sourfaced bastards on this planet. Och Aye

[MarcB134]

and who the fuck are you ya fucking wanker

where is it you from ? dickhead

[a7xguy]

[danieljonathanmartin]

[ihaveairlockers]

When i am in Aberdeen, I always see the humor.

Scots are very funny, as long as they are not talking about money

[pamelaloveselvis]

Oh the cheek! lol

[SuperMuise]

Craig Andrews needs to do some jumping jacks

maybe his balls will drop

[k4sp3rk4sp3r]

What show is the Billy Connolly + Sting thingy form ?

[Scotscarer]

The Parkinson chat show on BBC TV

[amerenio]

was the pink pink panther based on super cop or vice versa?

[amerenio]

" I feel a pRRayer coming on." hahaah pure witty genius!

[boogpatton]

If you've got that Billy Connolly one with his banjo, I'd sure like to see it.

[alicsbc]

"And his long suffering wife, Mary Doll" ,PLEASE!!!!

[trixy911]

that's what they say about Canadian comedy too

that we have no problem telling it how it is even though it's making fun of ourselves half the time... and it's true that it makes a comedy funnier

[thejudicialbranch9]

St. Andrew's Day is the feast of Saint Andrew, celebrated on 30 November each year.

[jocccky]

[Hagar7]

So who did end up winning the contest?

[rijamor]

Scotland's greatest comedy moment - Gazza, Euro '96...get in!

[manicmacintosh]

It was even more hilarious when you got knocked out on penalties!

[freedomsoldier187]

he speaks clearly, he speaks slowly, he isn't a wanker, and he is very very funny, that is why he is the greatest, you don't find that combination in anyone else ! billy that is

[paranoia4132]

Haha it's well funny when Rikki Fulton goes "AWAAAAAEEEH", hahahaha

[billyconnearly]

everything is funny until the BBC start analysing it - then it's fucked

[ps3kyle2k8]

wtf was tht woman on bout scottish comedy???? ino a hell of alota ppl tht cn joke and laugh at thmselvs includin me nd im english

[neohip]

I noticed that too, and I'm neither Scottish or English.I think we all,in the the western world, make these great claims about ourselves to try and make us stand out from one another, when the truth is that in the 21st Century, we are very much the same!

Billy Connolly is the worlds greatest comedian though,so perhaps they were trying to make a broad statement based on a one off?

[1967easaay1967]

aye but scottish humour is different from any other type of humour in the world: its one of the things that makes our culture so unique. other country's homour just isn't as good

[BANANASHROOGLE]

If you're making fun of your own race, it's not racism, it's just taking the mickey.

[neohip]

"Nail firmly hit on head".

But what is race? surely there is only one race living on this planet now.

The Human race.

that word should be consigned to the history books, and replaced with culture.

[chewielouis]

just cause you make fun of any race doesnt mean its racism.

[neilmc06]

actually you fucktard..thats exactly what it means.

Racism is the definition of making fun of or mocking any and all races and cultural ideologies.

[HaniiPuppy]

Not all races - if you act just as violently, arrogantly, and hatefully to members of all races, it's not racism since you're not singling anyone out based on their race.

In the words of Robert Lindsey, "I'm not racist, I hate everyone equally!"

[Boabyo]

Never wis a great fan of the grand prix masel ;]

[fenderish]

yer wanna see the billy snill

[kieran310]

if u listen to craig hill he sums it up perfectly. the vast majority of our humour is aimed at ourselves. were a hard bunch to offend and tbh i dont no wat in that could possibly be offensive.

[shan735]

um...isn't this like hmmm...not racist...but offensive to scotish ppl?

[swanni09]

O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us
