  • its a big seller in russia me thinks, or at least it used to be challenging some other drink for no 1 seller in said country. intell is about 8 year auld, cannae be ersed confirming.

    At least Barr dont have to drug you to build a customer base!

  • ochnaymebrain@ well said;) irn bru is like the best fukn drink oot!!:Lxx

  • made in scotland from gurders!!!!! Love it!

  • Classic! Although i'm pretty sure there was a variant where at the very end when he smacks the vending machine, a can ejects at high -speed right into his groin.

    Think it was deemed too distasteful and they changed it. Anyone remember it or is my bad memory???

  • @mceizia2 That's the ending of this advert:

    youtube.com/watch?v=5RwNlLxwSl­c

  • wtf is the point of this crap about scotland and england??? why do people care so much about it... and why did the film braveheart get into the arguement

  • @mickeymyhamster who asked you wee lassie? Ye know naethin' abit whit happened in th' pest. Hoo dae ye hink ye got freedom eh? Tois words, BRAVE HEART. Put yer wee bairns to bed, goo back tae yer bedroom, put X factur back oan an' watch yoo're precioos olly murs,

  • @ochnaymebrain eh actually i do know what happened in the past and it has nothing to do with this video so dont go around assuming that i dont.

  • Comment removed

  • Haha! I can't even believe what I'm seeing here! You're living in the dark ages, mate! I hold my hands up right in the air and will freely admit I had my (bad) preconceptions of the Scottish, but @themaster8902 has proven that we can have pride and dignity for our wonderful nations and still embrace others. You're not half the man or the Scot that @themaster8902 is. You're as Scottish as your precious Mel Gibson is.

  • @th3magicnumber I appreciate these comments my friend. Thank you you are in my opinion a great guy and i genuinely mean that.

  • c any one who says what did scotland do for the world is just retarded coz if u look a lot a things up hoff the time it was a scottish guy or had summit to do with a scottish guy a could list a lott of them but i will lee that tay u

  • The first Irn Bru ads were always parodys of American culture because we'd see these idylic scenes in movies of the ultimate prom night, first true loves, dream jobs and happy ever after and then we'd realise that we live in the real world.  Scots are some of the most down to earth folks on earth and laughing at ourselves is part of the package. 100% pride and 100% humility = A Scot. It also equals 200% but the other nations set a pretty low bar compared to us :P

  • actually i think the eariest known games of football were in persia. as for irn bru their adverts are very funny.

  • @laureadr147 Err, no actually. Everyone knows football is a England sport. Irn Bru adverts ARE very funny. But that's cos English people make them. I dead prefer Dr Pepper cos it's sweeter and nicer. Fact!

  • @th3magicnumber

    putting rules to something - they did at cambridge uni in 1848 - does not mean they invented it!! it was played for thousends of years before that with animal stomachs in many parts of the world.

  • @laureadr147 Well it takes England to civilize stuff; LIKE FOOTBALL. If it weren't for us Scottland, China and other places would still be kicking round a animal stomach and eating with their hands!!! God save the queen. Oh, and get your facts straight - football rules were invented in ENGLAND, not Cambridge!! You need to go to school to learn stuff...oh yeah, I forgot there aint schools in scotland!

  • @th3magicnumber - no they were drawn up at cambridge uni (it is in england you know!) - i know because unlike your sorry self i went to uni at trinity hall.

  • @th3magicnumber fuck you you english wank

  • @th3magicnumber and incase you didnt realise CAMBRIDGE IS IN ENGLAND and you say we havent got schools in scotland. Dumb inbred fucker

  • @themaster8902 1. Incase is two words. 2. 'Didnt' and 'havent' are both contractions and therefore need apostrophes. 3. Don't start a sentence with a conjunction. 4. Scotland is a proper noun and therefore requires a capital letter. 5. Seeing as you wanted to make a list of adjectives to describe the noun 'fucker' you need to separate the two of them with a comma. 6. 'Fuck you you english wank' is two clauses and needs a comma after the first you. 7. 'england'? See 4.

    Good try though, buddy. xx

  • @th3magicnumber I know what they needed i just didnt want to waste my time doing it for you. Never end anything to me with xx because you may love kissing men but i dont.

  • @themaster8902 Funny that, considering you're obsessed with fucking and wanking "fuck you you english wank"? Mummy issues? Were you not loved enough? Nothing's looking good for you, is it?

    Ah well, free prescriptions now! That's a lot of money saved on methodone prescriptions for you, isn't it. Or are you not quite ready to give up the skag just yet?

    Well, it's nearly eleven o'clock on this fine April morning, so you'd better get down the pub, mate. Have a drink on me! xx

  • @th3magicnumber Och mon! Us scots ur prood an' dignified. Somethin' ye woods ney naethin' abit. Ah hae ne'er tooched skag. Mind, ah am drunk. There's a difference atween us. ye hink th' fowk ay thes coontry exist tae provide ye wi' position. Ah hink yer position exists tae provide those fowk wi' freedom. an' Ah gang tae make sure 'at they hae it. Ye mai tak' uir li'es, but yoo'll ne'er tak' uir freedom!

  • @ochnaymebrain Nina's eyes popped out of what was left of her back. Why oh why had she opened that tomb? The sand turned red. This was because she was bleeding on it. Blood. Ruby red blood. Her blood. Blood... And piss and shit.

  • @th3magicnumber Mah puir bairns needs shoos an' tattie cakes but ife got nae job. They've eaten nae but midges, but eh'd raither see them starve than live in englain.

    If Ah wasnae gonnae scair some skag suin eh'd find ye an nut ye.

  • @th3magicnumber funny you call me a junkie and alcoholic since ive never touched drugs and i do not drink alcohol so try another one. Im an honest hard worker whos job it is to help those who cant help themselfs and i raise money and awareness for meningitis research. What decent things do you do?

  • @themaster8902 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pre-judge you. You're probably not 100% Scottish, or at least not one of the bad ones. However, let's both pick on @ochnaymebrain, he's one of them Scots who talks and types like they've had a stroke or something. Look at the utter tripe they're typing! I imagine he probably drowns puppies and hates the English so much he feels sick.

  • @th3magicnumber i just had a look at him, my god in heaven i dont think he drowns puppies i think he burns down orphanages lol. He is trying to talk scottish slang and doing a bad job at it and i cant even make out half of what he is trying to say. To be honest i am 100% scot my ancestry traces back over a thousand years right back to the campbells but ive no problem with the English as my partner (who is pregnant) is from England. ochnaymebrain personifies whats wrong with scotland

  • @themaster8902 Ah am nae whit is wrang wi' scootlund. Ye ur th' traitur 'at has merrit an sassenach lassie. Ah eat mah haggis fur mah tatties an' neebs an' ife seen every episode ay taggart. If Ah wasnae sae blooter'd oan whiskey aw th' while, eh'd play th' bags an' Ah loove braveheart mon. Yoo've bin aff th' skag way tay lang mon. Where's yer honoor an' pride?

  • @ochnaymebrain You need to chill out, mate. Get with the times. I've had a change of (brave)heart about Scotland and the Scottish. In fact, my aunt lives in Scotland, she says it's quite nice. @themaster8902 in fact is going to be having a half English, half Scottish child: proof that we can co-exist without prejudice. You're stuck in the past. Put down your skag needle, throw your neebs away, turn Taggart off for just a second and leave the down orphanages alone.You gave up on life, didn't you.

  • @th3magicnumber chill oot! CHILL OOOT!!! I'll nay chill oot mon.

    Och aye Ah did gie up oan life. Ah chose nae tae choose life. Ah chose somethin' else. an' th' reasons? thaur ur nae reasons. fa needs reasons when yoo've got shmack?

  • @th3magicnumber Thats absolutely true mate. The way i look at it is the bad blood between our 2 great countries is over a thousand years old and people like that junkie film quoter ochnaymebrain just cant let it go. He is what is wrong with Scotland. He seems like he is from Glasgow (where im from) where people just dont know how to look out for each other. We had our wee spat and i apologise and i have no beef with you my friend

  • @themaster8902 I'm with you there! @Ochnaymebrain seems so stuck in the past and full of hatred. My views on the Scottish have massively changed. I used to think you were all badly educated, drug-taking alcoholics. That's stereotypes for you - turns out England and Scotland are the same, both great countries with great people with a few nutters ruining it for everyone. @ochnaymebrain, sadly is one of these who lives to the stereotype. Braveheart weren't even that good! Gibson is an aussie!

  • @th3magicnumber As fur ye, gang back tae englain an' teel them thaur 'at scotland's daughters an' 'er sons ur yoors nae mair. teel them scootlund is free. Alba gu bràth!

  • @th3magicnumber He certainly is living to the stereotype. He thinks he is intellegent just cos he watched braveheart. A film with an aussie whos career has went down the shitter. England has alot of beautiful places to visit like the lake district and the theme parks are awesome. I used to think "English bunch of cunts" but not anymore we bleed the same. The problem with the hatred lies with our parents cos they teach us to hate each other. They shud let the past go and look to a united future

  • @th3magicnumber i have a higher respect for England and your one of the English i respect because you can put the quarrels of our ancestors aside and see that we are all just people. It dont matter where we are from. Im proud that my girlfriend is english and we are having a baby (girl btw:D) and i know she wont be prejudice because she will have the benefit of being both scottish and english and she will be taught how great our 2 countries are.

  • @themaster8902 Ye mon, ur a disgrace tae th' Campbells an all scottish fowk. Och aye Ah hate th' inglish, but sae shood you? If ye took th' time tae learn aboot yer ancestory ye woods know what rapin', murderin' bastards they ur. Ah teel ye mon, watch braveheart fur god sakes. Ah sob like a wee jessie at th' bit whaur mel gibson shoots 'FREEDOM'. It might be tay late noo mind', wi' yer inglish bairn oan th' way.

  • @ochnaymebrain For starters quit quoting trainspotting and second do some research. Braveheart was highly inacurate about the portrayal of william wallace. The Scottish were barbaric back then also, we raped and murdered our own people. We had clans fighting clans, The campbells massacred the McDonalds in glencoe. I have no problem with the English what happened in the past is in the past when times were barbaric so why dont u do something useful u scrounger.

  • @themaster8902 Och mah god, will ye tois lassies break it up, am gonae cry. Hoo feckin' daur ye caa me a scroonger. Ah pay fur mah scag, tabs an' whiskey wi' mah sweit auld nana's money mind, ah tak' it frae 'er purse when she's sleepin' But if she didne hae th' dementia she'd gie it tae me anyway.

    Dornt turn yer back oan scootlund, join me an' we can win. if we win we'll hae whit nane ay us has ever hud before: a coontry ay uir ain.

  • @ochnaymebrain Didnt i tell you to quit quoting braveheart? It was a shit film. You want some truths bout us great scots during wallace time? We sold our own people out for money, land and titles. Maybe if you got off your scrounging arse and did a bit of research you would find all this out. Id join England before id join with the likes of you. I have no problem with England and im a better and prouder scot than you cos i dont live in the past

  • @themaster8902 Ah cannae e'en believe ye ur scottish. Ah am sae ashamed. Ah wulnae stop quotin' braveheart mon. Dae ye nae realize hoo important 'at film is tae scootlund? Ah thank mel gibson everyday fur showin' th' warld, how great th' scots ur. Th' english ur pure scum an' Ah will ne'er tolerate them.

    It's aw fur naethin' if ye dornt hae freedom.

  • @ochnaymebrain That film has absolutely no importance to Scotland. Mel Gibson is a tosser (alot like you). It is historically inacurate and the braveheart wasnt wallace it was Robert the Bruce ya fanny. Im more Scottish than you could ever hope to be cos i dont need hollywood films to educate me and Mel Gibson didnt show the world how great we are cos we know how great we are and how much of a pie you are ya fud. you are just so retarded and if you were in front of me then id knock you clever

  • @themaster8902 Ye mean that william wallace was braveheart th' greet, ye prick? Yoore only angry coz yoove forgotton who ye ur. Yoo'll ne'er be half th' mon mel gibson is. Wa dornt ye jist go an' marry yer wee English sweetheart, @th3magicnumber. Ye tois cowards seem very cosy. Ye hud better hope ye ne'er bump intae me one day sonny, coz i'll cut ye up.

  • @ochnaymebrain Naw you great pile of moose shit Robert The Bruce was the braveheart. You sound like you want to shag Mel Gibson and have his love child ya freak. Quit acting like some righteous keyboard gangster and talking bout shit that you know nothing about. You sit there in your wee dungeon spilling out quotes from a film. Wallace never got us freedom he just liked to scream it as he was wanking (when you wank you shout MELLL) I think i will watch braveheart and laugh wen he gets chopped up

  • @themaster8902 *round of applause*

  • @th3magicnumber Thank you Thank you lol.

  • @themaster8902 Ah am nae gonna waste mah intellect oan ye anymair. Ye ur ignorant an' hide frae th' truth. Ah cannae help someain loch ye, but god knows i've tried. guid luck.

    To freedom!

  • @ochnaymebrain You didnt have any intellect to waste on me. Stop trying to type Scottish slang because you are pretty pish at that. Anyway heres one for you, away an bile yer hied ya pure mad mental heavy dafty and inject sum bad skag. Give my regards to your wee boyfriend Mel Gibson.

  • @ochnaymebrain it doesnt matter what country someone comes from it is who they are and in this day and age talk like this shouldn't be tolerated, it is disgusting and I hope that one day you will realise being scottish isn't following a bad portrayal of William Wallace

  • @th3magicnumber really? is this a joke because that is just absurd

  • Made from Giders. LoL

  • Another great Scottish tradition: Football :) I love the English try to claim they made it XD

  • @xXelmarcoCFCXx I was thinking about that last night. The oldest reference to describe a game like football was written in a Latin/Spanish? and named an area in Scotland as to where it was seen. The Scots have always known we invented it, and then all of a sudden England decided to claim it. They think if they say it often enough, it will come true!

  • @hafpipe Exactly. It's funny and pathetic.

  • @xXelmarcoCFCXx I love football cos it's English. And we made Irn Bru, the thing is we don't go on about it. We let you have that, Scotland. You're welcome.

  • so you can make fun of my nation but bear in mind you wouldnt be enjoying your many luxuries if it wasnt for the scottish i love being scottish

  • @THEMOCKMAN

    like phones

  • @trooner41 Ah. Of course.

    ya wee fanny

  • that's Denise Van Outen at 0.38!

  • i'm a Crazy Yank and i love the stuff :D

  • The Point of the 'Crazy Yanks' joke- is that during the 80's we found out that Irn Bru actually outsells Coke and Pepsi in Scotland.

    Only about 3 or 4 of the World's 'Native' Fizzies actually manage this.

    Hence the final shot of 'Home Boy' getting a 'Glasgow Kiss' from the Irn Bru machine.

  • @flashart

    LOL. And Why shouldn't it. It's cheaper, and at times a lot more refreshing!

    The downside with Barr's 99p drinks is they run out quick, so you gotta buy couple of bottles. I swear Barr water them down just a teeny bit so the drink can disappear.

  • Damn, now I want to try Irn Bru.

  • Do you english faggots actually think people still find yank offensive? lol

  • @itsGerbilsworld Its not supposed to be offensive. read my previous comment

  • @itsGerbilsworld I know this is a troll but this ad is ancient and it's not supposed to be offensive. Idiot.

  • @itsGerbilsworld english faggots? who are u callin english faggots

  • @scotland1989able niggers, anything else?

  • @itsGerbilsworld Funnily enough almost the whole world! And careful who your calling faggot Penishead!

  • so explain to a crazy yank what the hell is it?

  • @razeal18 The songs not an attack on America or Americans. Its just taking the piss outta Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The advert is an over the top parody of typical Coke and Pepsi Ads. Coca-Cola is the biggest selling drink in the world and Pepsi a close 2nd. It took them years to outsell IrnBru. This advert is only made to poke fun of that whole thing.

  • @claudis192 I agree our Coke and Pepsi ads were cheesy in the 80's. :)

  • @claudis192 Irn Bru still outsells any other soft drink in Scotland today by a massive percentage.

  • in soviet russia,irn bru drinks you!

  • kk all those are kool im scottish but i hate fountain pens thats the only one i dont see the poin in

  • 5) It was actually Michael Stifel who invented logarithms first but it is falsely commonly believed to be John Napier.

    6) The first "friction match" was invented by English chemist John Walker in 1826

    7) John MacAdam came up with the idea of using graded stone to pave a road BUT it was Edgar Purnal Hooley who invented 'tarmac as we know it.'

    8) Almroth Edward Wright invented the vaccine against typhoid and he was english.

    9) Ultrasound was invented by the English physician Ian Donald in 1957

    :)

  • @DaBigCheeseLuigi Uhhhm Ian Donald was Scottish...

  • if its not scottish its crrrrrap

  • Just remembered when I was a wee kid, going to Germany for the Summer and learning very quickly the horror of there being NO irn-bru outside of the UK. It was a nice enough holiday, but when I got to my cousins' house in Leeds on the way home, I freakin cradled that 2 litre bottle like it was a lost kitten. And wept. Ok not wept. But I was still very happy.

  • @BobbyJenkins actually we have em here in luxembourg :D Just in this one store, but still !

  • Man, it reminds me of the 'We're For Fife' advert....cept this one is MEANT to be funny and sadly the Fife one is trying to be serious and still comes across is incredibally cheesy and bad.

    This advert reminds me of bein a lil kid sittin on front of the telly watchin stuff like Gladiators and Fresh Prince.

  • All the comments under this video are cringeworthy!

  • headbutt fae a vendy :***)

  • Are the people in the comments seriously fighting over a carbonated drink? 0_o what in the world is the matter?

    Anyway. The commercial was a nicely done parody/

  • ah'd rather haff sum Buckie.

  • I cannae stand yanks, annoying accents, can't spell Scots or Scotland properly-they spell it as scotts or scottland nearly every time even if you point it out.

  • Most people in Glasgow cant spell either.

  • @joelang6126 Actually just the 15 % of the population which are neds which is like 90,000

    Not that many, ignorance is bliss

  • Comment removed

  • 90,000 too many

  • @joelang6126 Is that right JOESEPH! i think you might just be talking out of your arsehole my learned friend.Please refrain from uttering any more of your rediculous self formed statistics you imbesile!

    We cant all be literary geniuses like you and your pals at the star trek convention.

    you klingon cunt!

    just most ppl you know cant spell

    you remedial fanny man!

    dont describe your family as being the general populous of Glasgow.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Star Trek convention? LOL

    Clutching straws mean anything to you?

    What a poof LOL!

  • ha ha look at you JOSEPH, cant really make your mind up what to say,ya daft prick,how many comments have you made and removed? ya fuckin indecisive cunt. clea sing of not too mant brain cells at work you remedial prick,

    you couldnt lace my boot ya fuckin muppet,

    meet me in town,or unblock your filters pussy boy so i can message you, stop hiding little fanny man.

    meet me in town

    we will see who is superior ya fuckin gimp

  • yes i made a couple of typo's there JOSEPH just thought i better pick up on them before some little cunt came and started talking shit again,you how cunts are JOSEPH.

    anyway message me and we can have a chat in town

    my friend

  • NO WAY YOU ACTUALY CHALLENGED SOMEONE OVER THE INTERNET LOL!!!!!!! At least thats what I can decrypt from your poor spelling and piss poor local dialect. Anyway I had to remove some of my comments as Ive already been warned about 'hate speech'. Now lets get down to you being a fat hun bastard with something to prove, why dont you meet me outside castle grey skull then you and your peasant mates can teach me a lesson? Is that okay with you petal?

    "you how cunts" LOL

  • my piss poor spelling??, m8 what are you fuckin talking about? and bunker nut! better wording from a person with actual hold of the english vocabulary would have said what i can "deduce" not decrypt! ya clown! TOO MANY BATMAN MOVIES FOR YOU M8, DECRYPT HA HA HA!! dont try and talk smart you just dont have it ya fuckin goon! also i pointed out that i made a couple of errors in my last comment because i knew your infantile little brain would have picked up on that,i am way ahead of you JOFIS

  • No no decrypt is the proper term here as you need a fucking key figure what youre actually trying to say. Sentences written in code so that only others of your miserable upbringing/scheme can read.

    This is coming for a fat hun who probably works in a call center and has to prove his manhood by challenging people over the net, dont make me laugh son!

    Next time come back with something better as you're starting to bore me.

    FYI Im not your mate plus RNB is shite :-)

  • @joelang6126

    You do know Castle grey skull is where the good guys from He-Man are right? Snake Mountain is where the bad guys are at.

    Not the sharpest are you.

  • @gazwel83 You do know that Castle Grey Skull is a Glasgow colloquialism for Ibrox Football Stadium used in reference to that fact that the moron is was talking to was a Rangers fan? Not so smart are you old cock? Now be quiet before you make a complete arse of yourself.

  • As for the filter, its there to stop piss like you having any contact with someone of my esteemed position.

    Can you imagine the embarrassment If my mates seen me talking to filth such as yourself lol.

    Night night

  • I found irn bru in malaysia.....So if its there its gona be EVERYWHERE soon :) xx

  • I wish I'd never seen this video. How the heck am I going to get Irn Bru in Finland? :-(

  • by loads and take it with... oh yea, airport security,

    post it!

  • Maybe I can help you there, believe it or not you can actually buy iron brew off ebay.

    Oh...the odd things you can find on there!

  • Like scottish people care aout losing american tourists. Was it Michael MAcIntyre talking about how Scots hate yank tourists anyway? And he once saw an American family ask a Scottish taxi driver this...

    "Do you have any tips on how to get to Edinborough castle?"

    "Aye, get satnav!"

  • I don't think anyone likes tourists at all no matter where you from. For example here in California where I live people always ask me stupid questions, especially those from the UK.

    "So are you from Orange County?"

    "So have you ever seen a celebrity?"

  • Edinburgh :L

  • I'm an American of, mostly, Scottish descent and am very proud of that. I'm from the state of West Virginia. Most of the population,here, is of Scottish ancestry and we take great pride in that. We have kept the traditions and music of our Scottish ancestors alive. I was born in Glasgow WV and raised in Culloden WV. If the US Gov. is boycotting Scotland don't hate all Americans for that. Our government doesn't represent us (common folks).They represent big business.

  • What I hate is when people say that they'll boycott all Scottish products. Scotland has the highest ratio of inventions per square foot of land in the world; for example - rubber tyres, a cure for malaria, decimal point, fountain pens, fingerprinting, Hypodermic syringes, insulin, logarithms, lorries, matches, paraffin, radar, savings banks, screw propeller, raincoats, tarmac, typhoid vaccines, ultrasound, the United States Navy and wire rope.

    Just try going through life without any of those.

  • @Tigercorpse

    Television, Animal Cloning, Steel Ships, the Telephone and perhaps most importantly Watt's Steam engine which made the industrial revolution possible

  • @Tigercorpse

    Hoots mon! Check and Mate. You got him there.

    And No disrespect to my Neighbours over the border.

  • @Hulk2k6

    Considering 90% Of What He Said Is Wrong.. He Didn Exactly Get Anybody xD

  • @iTOUCHiPODS321

    I just find it funny that all this nonsense is over a poxy soft drink! Although, it's a tasty, REFRESHING, poxy soft drink...

  • @Tigercorpse

    Ahem, sorry to be a prick, but:

    1) There is no 'cure' for Malaria. You can only 'cure' the symptoms.

    2) The decimal point was used by the Hindu-Arabic number system before Scotland was even considered a country.

    3)9th century AD: The Iraqi/Egyptian surgeon Ammar ibn 'Ali al-Mawsili' created a syringe in the 9th century using a hypodermic needle, a hollow glass tube, and suction to remove cataracts from patients' eye.

    4)You can't 'invent' insulin. Its a natural hormone.

  • @DaBigCheeseLuigi yeah sorry, you are a prick

  • @Tigercorpse And according to QI the Guillotine too! Sorry if it is misspelt

  • @Tigercorpse dont forget the two inventions that everyone uses everyday: the tv and the telephone

  • @JohnLennon4King

    Actually, neither were Scottish inventions. The telephone was invented by Antonio Meucci, an Italian, - his patent was nicked by Alexander Graham Bell, a lawsuit against whom was only dropped after Meucci's death - and as to who invented television... that's a matter for debate. General consensus is divided between Philo T. Farnsworth, an American, and Vladimir Zworykin, a Russian. John Logie Baird was an important figure in its development, but he was not the inventor.

  • @Tigercorpse But rubber tyres, adhesive stamps, Australian national anthem, Bank of England, bicycle pedals, breach-loading rifle, Bovril, cell nucleus, chloroform, cloud chamber, cornflour, cure for malaria, decimal point, Encyclopædia Britannica, fountain pens, fingerprinting, hypnosis, Hypodermic syringes, insulin, kaleidoscope, lawnmower, lime cordial, logarithms, lorries, marmalade, matches, motor insurance, paraffin, piano pedals, postmarks, radar, reflecting telescope, savings banks,

  • @Tigercorpse screw propeller, speedometer, steam hammer, raincoats, tarmac, teleprinters, tubular steel, typhoid vaccines, ultrasound, United States Navy, UST, vacuum flasks, wave powered electricity generation and wire rope were all Scottish inventions.

    So we are reasonably influential. ;-)

  • @Tigercorpse I thought that there was a few people attempting to create a working phone and tv at similar times and a Scot managed it first? That's what i've always been told anyway.

  • @Tigercorpse could do without the ##us navy but yeah. who trs to boycott scottish anything?

  • @hobogasm

    This is another one of those things that was incredibly piquant and well-considered at the time, rather than being a bit bleedin' passe and somewhat confusing as it is now.

    I believe it was written following the furore after the release of Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi, and the inevitable resulting overreaction by a number of politicians.

    ...it made sense in context.

  • @Tigercorpse telephone tv the locomotive i am also scottish i totally agree

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Ha! You yanks have never got over the fact that we kicked your ass in 1815! your president Madison hid under his desk when we bombarded New Orleans! And if you won, why did you sign a promise to leave Canada alone?

  • weirdo

  • That's what I heard! The Scottish people I have met have claimed to be from the UK. I guess they are embarrassed of just saying exactly where I am from. I tell people I am from California, not the US. Fun Fact: Most people in the US who play sports and have Scottish names are like 90%+ Black.

  • Thats cause most yanks are too darn dumb to know where Scotland is =]

  • fuck u bawheed

  • @SpikesWish,

    True, yanks are thick as fuck, dumb yank cunts get worse with each generation, dumber and dumber and dumber!

    I have a friend from Scotland who told me that a yank couple told him that it was convienient how we built the castle close to the shops, only a yank would be that dumb!

    Fucken dumb yank cunts!

  • @GLORD99092 lol

  • @GLORD99092 I heard the niggers and spaniards are dumber than germans and yanks.

  • @GLORD99092 tl;dr

  • @Mileyisawhore99 troll moaaarrrrrrrrrr

  • Irn Bru is basically mouthwash in Scotland.

  • come over here and say that - fucking yank.

  • Looks like your one of the pissed off yanks from the fact your country didn't get it's way for a change.

    Do you think your a public speaker or something when you try to insult Scotland ?

    We couldn't give a fuck if there's a good few Americans that don't like us right now.

    Also there's a shitload of good things that have came out of Scotland !

  • The vending machine gave that bloke a Glasgow Kiss.

  • nobody can resist the brew no matter whit

  • Irn Bru wont be selling in USA anymore as the scum from accross the pond are boycotting all Scottish products.

  • I was talking to someone who wanted to boycott Scottish products and I said "So you want to boycott Irn Bru?" They looked at my like I was crazy. I guess the only thing they could think of was Scotch.

  • I hear the sale of Scotch eggs is at an all time low in the USA.

  • As a Scotsman, I say this: good.

    The gas produced between egg and meat in a scotch egg does not occur naturally in the atmosphere.

  • lol see if we care..no 1 has ever conquered scotland..EVER..do u think were going to care now because the obese americans are angry.

    LOL you fool,does that mean your not going to watch the tv use the telephone etc etc etc etc idiot..hah lmao.

  • you misinterpreted my comment i think. I'm with you i couldn't give two fucks if the USA are going to boycott us. I am agreeing with you hence how I call the USA "The Scum from across the pond"

  • I love that bit at the end "Made In Scotland From Girders"

  • I bloody love this song. This ad was on TV what, 15 years ago? I find myself singing it! The enduring power of Bru: Made In Scotland From Girders!

  • a great parody on th Coke Cola ads

  • irn bru adverts are always the best. they're always taking the piss out of sumit :P

    thats all part of being scottish tho, intit!

  • Lmao pure aggro vendy

  • This is my fav of all the adverts probably because l was a teenager when it came out. Still manage to get ma 'Bru since l moved to the USA sort of getting them hooked on it now.

  • Mix it with vodka.

  • Yank this! ;)

  • i need ma bru

  • Yay! I can't believe this is on here! I was about 7 years old when this came out. I was too young to understand parody so my auntie had to explain it to me. I still remember the lyrics and everything. Even more strange, I remember the lady who sang it came on TV:AM and was talking about all the different jingles she'd sung. She also did the Toys R'Us theme tune.

  • Irn-bru, irn-bru, it makes you pee and it makes you poo lalalala.

  • Are the lyrics not:

    'Still this ad is really quite fun

    Could yet be a hit single, go to Number One.

    The only fly in the ointment, Irn Bru's daft claim:

    Made in Scotland from girders.

    There goes my chance of fame

    It's a bit of a shame.

  • Yeah, I think there was a longer version of the ad. Shame it's not on here.

  • The bottles and cans have changes sooo much, I'm drinking some right now hahaa.

  • hmmmmi want some now lol

  • Now im craving Irn Bru..

  • irn bru is nice.u don't feel like your drinking sugar thats goin to end up giving you diabetes when you drink it!!:)

  • as opposed to Coca-Cola, and the brain-cancer-causing-Aspartame Coke Zero/Diet coke! ya fuckin numpty!

  • it was a joke u stupid shit!

  • hey, awa an boil yer heid, ya dafty!
