I grew up with immigrant parents and my mom doesn’t have a thick accent, my dads was super thick. If he watched too much Spanish news, I couldn’t understand him for an hour afterwards. But at the coffee shop I work at, whenever someone orders and has a thick Spanish accent, almost all my coworkers get their order wrong and I have to correct it. They’re always like “how did you know what they said?” Trust me, I had a lifetime of practice for this moment. Now watching this, if this is what my dad sounded like to some people, no wonder he had a hard time being understood 😂😂😂.

I'm Scottish and you should know that his accent isn't exaggerated but for the sake of the skit his sentences are formed of strange words on purpose. The way he said "right, have a wee shifty oot the windae doon at the groun; tell me if you can rest your goggles upon Auchentoshan plane station" at 2:50 is very weird way to say "Look out the window and tell me if you can see Auchentoshan airport"

Retired United pilot here. Love this skit! My first few years flying to London or anywhere in Europe starting back in the 1990's, this was EXACTLY how our communications with Scottish Control would be! I laughed so hard watching this because it is so accurate. All of the U.S. pilots were continually asking the controllers to repeat themselves, I am sure that it irritated the crap out of them. We would look at each other in the cockpit and say "what the hell did he say?" My last 5 years of flying over there before I retired at the end of 2020 were much easier to understand them. Either I got better at understanding "Scottish" or they got better at speaking American English!

Amazing! 😆❤️ Been to many villages and small towns in Asia and Africa where they couldn’t speak a word of english, but I never got such anxiety and stress like being in Scotland and someone is replying to me in what they think sounds english… I got confused, they got frustrated. We shouted and I cried. 😵‍💫 😂 It’s been extremely stressfull untill I got the hang of it. There’s nothing like you think you speak perfect english and the person infront of you too, but you can’t understand each other at all! 🤣

Have anyone realized that even KZread is having a hard time generating the subtitles on the 'scottish' part?

The part that’s makes this hilarious for me is, I’m a retired corporate pilot and I’ve traveled to many different countries, and so many times I’d talk to a ground controller and have to ask for him, or her, to say again as I had no clue what they said. Very funny, but oh so true.

I laughed so hard at this. I studied in Scotland for a year and stayed for two years after just cause. Coming from a west African country that was a real culture shock for my first year. I remember I got to the train station from the airport to get to my university and heard someone speaking on phone and I thought. Did I land in the right country? The accent was insane. I listened intently for sometime to try and identify the language until I heard the word early. I called home as soon as I could to narrate that experience. Now back home I am always delighted to hear the proud Scots speak in their native tongue. Will definitely be visiting again after COVID-19 clears. Thanks SNL.

I’m a Scot currently living in Texas. Came here when I was 9 but lived in England beforehand. Every time we went to a drive thru or something like that, my parents, who have thick Scottish accents like James’, would have me speak for them because no one could understand them 🤣

I heard when they first wrote this sketch and they did the initial read for the scene James McAvoy, worked with the writing team to make it a very authentic Scottish accent

Translation of James McAvoy's bits from a Scot :) "Alright, now there's no time for names mate. I know you're going pale up there but I'm going to get you down faster than a whippet gets a hard on. Now I'm gonna get you down, but, here is what I need you to do first. Ok, have a deep breath. I just want you to take a deep breath. In out in out. You alright there wee man? You alright? Deep breath, right! Deep breath! And you need to stay calm Now listen to me very carefully. On the wee panel of switches in front of you there is a brown doo-dah with a red jack about the size of a, fucking, what do you call it... American cookie. Not a Keebler? No alright. Theres a small thing the size of an oreo cookie, right? I thought it was a Keebler. What's the doo-dah coming in at (reading)? Mate, the brown doo-dah that looks like an oreo cookie. What's it coming in at? No, brown. The colour brown. Yes! What's the brown doo-dah coming in at? Good. Two heads are better than one. Right, have a little look out the window down at the ground. Tell me if you can see Auchentoshan Plane Station. Listen big man we're only going to get one shot at this. The little burgundy thing on the dash, give it a little tug. Oh no, no, oh my God. Radars got you leaving Scottish airspace. This connections getting crunchier than a bag of smashed crabs. God speed you lot. Glasgow out."

A few notes: Doo-dah is a word used to refer to an object you can't remember the name of. Wee Man is "little man". You can use this to refer to anyone male, even if you don't know them personally. Auchentoshan is a whisky distillery near Glasgow.
