  • LOL What part of Scotland are you from?? Thanks for posting.

  • East coast around the Dundee area!

  • I agree with Scottmau5, we dont all talk like that he is an idiot.

    Scottish translation of what I just wrote:

    I agree wi Scottmau5, wi dinnae aw tock like that he's a dafty,, lol

  • Of course nobody talks like this, anybody with half a brain can tell this is a pastiche of our dialect - like a Chinese person saying 'Flied Lice'. This video is meant to be a bit of fun....only. Besides, I say 'braw', I know people who say 'bricht' and 'nicht' and 'ingins', so really, it's not that far from the truth.

  • folk in scotland spoke like that mibby 50 year ago pal, if i was you i would take this doon because you come across as a complete arse and its a bad advert for scottish people like myself. thank you

  • You're a bad enough advert all by yourself mate!

  • You could use the phrase that was overheard in Parkhead. Celtic where playing badly and where behind. Enrico Annoni was on the bench and was warming up to come on as sustitute. a voice in the crowd turned to his mat and said "Aw naw no Annoni oan anaw noo" Magic.....

  • I know it's Keltic , but some of the phonetics sound Germanic - both Indo European, I know, but different branches - however, geographically kinda close to one another.

  • I'll just listen to it, despite Scottish background, I'm still mutt enough that it'll be a fail, and my xbox will fry out from spit lol

  • You are quite funny, I enjoyed this clip

  • Quite enjoyable. I do so love your language.... You could read the phonebook and have my complete attention. Cheers.

  • G'day Brad. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I always enjoy having a chuckle at the expense of my ancestors (Clan MacLennan). As Robin Williams said, "If you want a linguistic adventure, go drinkin' with a Scotsman. Because you can't f-ing understand them before." Cheers lad.

  • I've watched this 47,152 times and I still can't gob like you can!

  • "Genetic modification"? Ye're haverin', aye? Onybody can dae it nae bother if they learn fae when they're a bairn.

  • Ah talk aboot ingins an tatties an neeps an goin doon the road, some fowks still talk like that ye ken. I say dinnae, winnae, cannae an aw that. Still hear it spoken in the schemes

  • Sweet! My teenager now thinks I'm nuts for "talking jibberish to a mirror.
