Best Stand up comedy sketch ever!
Комедия
Kevin Bridges, Scottish stand up comedian, put himself on the map in 2009 at Michael MacIntyre's BBC Comedy Roadshow in Edinburgh, aired on the BBC.
This video has English subtitles, due to his strong Glaswegian accent for a broader audience to enjoy!

I love the posh people translations at the bottom 'tattle tale' lmao, he said grass mate😂
I love the fact they have to put subtitles for his insanely thick Glasgow accent
I'm Norwegian and i understand him just fine
I just love the Scottish accent
Thx for the added subs. As a non native English speaker it just makes it that bit easier to watch.

Markuz07 I'm glad you understand us but many non Brits do not. in fact many Brits do not. Just like certain English accents can be hard to understand. It's not always about words used. It's about speed and intonation as much as anything else. Plus certain phrases that can be English but are hard to understand at face value unless you understand the history behind them. Language and accents are complicated. I made this for a laugh and people with a similar sense of humour appreciate it. If it's not your thing, fair dooz - but don't act like everyone in the world understands all Scottish accents, because they don't.

Danny Bhoy. My apologies. Gaelic spelling is it? Even though I'm Irish myself I was raised in Australia so I'm still not too familiar with the intricacies of the Irish or Scottish letter sound relationships, i.e. Siobhan. Stumps me every time. My favourite comedian would have t be Dave Allan RIP and Dara O'Briain. I quite like Stephen Colbert too. ps, Frankie Boyle is okay.

No subtitles = reaches fewer people. It's basic maths, really. Even the most evenly delivered Londonian english needs subtitles - and not only to cater to those with hearing disabilities, but to cater to everyone who would have trouble following the sound of the voice alone. Pair the stand up routine with subtitles and it's easier for a lot of people to follow. But then again, I'm used to subtitles, living in a country where english is not the no.1 language (but it comes in as a close 2nd).

Let's make it official.. Scottish isn't an accent but a whole new distant language, which has nothing in common with any other one spoken by humans :p
This routine is so fucking stupid, that its utterly brilliant at the same time, and while he says its based on a true story... I friggin believe it too! LOL Kevin Bridges is most definitely one of the best comedians that I have seen in a while.

Gene Nelson yeah it isn't an easy task understanding some people in the UK. Especially Scotland. While most scots would call English their language, they only really write in English but tend to speak a mixture of English, Scots and Gaelic. Some words sound english, some sound slightly different and other words are swapped out for something else entirely. This is why no one can truly be fluent in any language as the same language evolves differently from place to place. It doesn't mean Brits can't speak English in it's purest form. It just feels wierd when we do. The same rules apply to many places in the states although most English speakers have little to no issue understanding Americans due to your movies, tv shows and music being so widespread.

haha that's him toning it down and trying to speak clearly for performance but he has improved much more now. Being Scottish, I know how funny he is, so that's why I really wanted to subtitle it because our accent is difficult to understand sometimes. To help him be understood better because I find him hilarious lol
is that an Eskimo accent?
not bad but not great
Not a single smile out of me. Don't get me wrong... I loved Scotland... been there and Eddie Izzard is just fabulous, so I guess it's just the type of comedy.
