Here in New Zealand I was given a voice-activated Television to trial. It took the best part of two weeks to get it to shift to channel 10. My programme was finished, needless to say. Maybe it was the Scot in me (on my mum's side) but my reaction was much the same.
I went on a trip this past weekend to Hilton Head, South Carolina. The rental car had an audio GPS so you could speak the destination where you wanted to go. Without exaggeration my boyfriend was able to tell her at least 15 different commands, and she recognized all of them. EVERY time I tried, she did not understand what I said. This happened at least 10 times. It reminded me so much of this video. I just started telling her “11“!!!
We were being escorted through Frankfurt Airport by a Scottish lady (my wife is a bit disabled) last week on returning from America. When we were in the lift, I carefully ennunciated "eleven", in my best fake Scottish accent. She almost wet her undies.
Similar story. My grandmother showed me this a few years ago. She was very passionate about Scotland, even though she’s never been there. She passed away a year ago. Decided to rewatch it to bring some memories)
Every time I get to page 11 in ANYTHING...I have to quote this. If the people around me don't understand what I just did, we stop and watch this video. Also, for an entire year when my son was eleven, I didn't use his first name. I just called him "ELEVEN!"
I can't remember the last time I wept with laughter. I just heard of this video in a New York Times article which mentioned the difficulties of lipreading certain accents.
I'm suddenly reminded of the voice controlled software I tried to run on my Atari back in the 90's. That didn't work either. Imagine, trying to teach your computer how to do things by voice command, but first ... you need to get it to understand your command, how to make sense of what you're saying to it ... and then teach it what everything means. And then get it to recognize YOUR voice every time. It was just as frustrating as ELEVEN! My "Oh do whatever ya like!" came very close to "Take us anywhere, ya cow!"
I decided to watch this with subtitles on and it just made it funnier, the automatic subtitles butcher it completely. Highly recommended to watch with subtitles 🤣🤣
Being part-Scottish myself, this is the first time I've seen and laughed at something so hard I cried. I may be American, but I embraced my Scottish heritage on my dad's side. This really made my day! SCOTLAND!🤣
even after years or speaking and learning english I still don't catch every word, BUT it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. No idea why it only got 1,2m views so far.
An in-joke is a joke that relies on knowledge that only the people sharing the joke have. Dick Van Dyke's performance in _Mary Poppins_ is common knowledge.
@@IHateCZcamsHandles615 They are still pretty famous. The sequel to the film, _Mary Poppins Returns,_ came out only about four years ago, and Dick Van Dyke is still getting himself talked about in the news. Even if they weren't famous, it still wouldn't be an in-joke.
Someone just posted this on Twitter and it's the first time I have seen it. I have been laughing so hard watching this I could barely see my laptop screen! LOLOLOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
it's taken me eight years to realise that they could have said ten and then used the stairs. Well, that's sucked the joy from another vid. My work here is done. Mwahaha
I think of this every time I try talking to my Subaru Voice driven console - which is just as hopeless in 2023 as when this skit was done. 'Please' - I'm with them! Why would a machine be 'pleased' by my doing something??
Out of curiosity I activated CZcams's automated close captions and I'm happy to report it makes this old gem even funnier; CZcams has no clue what's being said either and you can see automatically generated words frantically filling the screen at random. 😂😂😂😂😂
For years now, I can't hear the word 'eleven' without thinking of this sketch.
same
Me too!
Same !! 😂
"Are you from the same part of England as Dick Van Dyke?" had me dead
Deck Van Dyke!!! lol
I said dead in a Scottish accent there as deeeed hahahaha
@@conorsmith8551I love lifts!
This never gets old...even though they both clearly and audibly pronounce "eleven."..in a normal accent favorable to the English language.

they could have just tried ten, you cannot go wrong with it
Me and my friend is going to re act that

I actually thought the accent sounded Russian 😂 (funnily enough)
@@alexandermaddox8695There’s also a Dublin in California.
Nostalgic...seeing different fandom doing all versions...love it
Good Omens did one
The original is from the movie Carwash
“Just takes us anywhere ya cow” 🤣
YA' KØÜ! 🤣🤣🤣
I wanted to see someone else say "eleven" the same way and have the elevator go up as the two Scotsmen silently implode.
"You have not selected a floor"
"AYE WE HAVE!!!"
OMG, I watched this years ago and just laughed out so loud and hard again, thank you so much. This series should have a million view.
Yes

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand ‘chennal tin’.” -Smart TV
I don't understand who invented that... Isn't pressing a button on the remote simple enough?
I had to go through pronunciation with Google and other electronics it was painful.
Eleven
Should have tried eleven

🤣
Every Scot's worst nightmare. Voice recognition
I'm not Scottish, but I hate voice recognition.
Funny thing is I like everything Scottish.
Never thought these things are related, haha
The video:eleven
The subtitles: I love Ben
And "a weapon"... CZcams made the irony on whole level.
It's been nearly a decade since this video was posted and it's still funnier every time.
The greatest thing also in this video is the fact that not even close captions is able to understand and struggles with the accent... 😅🤣😂🤣😅
"jail free pasta" ????? hehehehe, thanks for the tip ;o)
@@slowerthinker You're welcome" 🤗🤭😝😜
Had to watch it again with the captions. "I love Ben" 😂😂😂
“England is Dick Van Dyke” 😂
Lmao, omg. Just made this video so much better. 😂
These guys are hilarious 😂!! Strongest first episode of a comedy series I've seen.
When i am depressed alone and lonely i always went back to see this video to eased my agony and made me laughed again what a good comedy.
Every Scottish comedy routine is required to contain 'OCH, YE COO!'
"you have not selected a floor"
"AAAAP YEORS YA CAOO!!!"
my grandad showed me this in his car about a year back, hes passed away now, but he loved this so much. miss you grandy💕

And prob for 11 months & 3 weeks, he would just roll his eyes. 😀
@@tequilacollins He actually LOVED it :-) My younger boy lis looking forward to his turn to be called it also
I'm on chapter 11 rn lol
Burnistoun is brilliant. Connell and Florence are geniuses.
You forgot 'underrated' and 'humble'

Priceless in this life and in the next❤

My "Oh do whatever ya like!" came very close to "Take us anywhere, ya cow!"
This is comedy gold. One for the Hall of Fame for sure !!
I watch this often to laugh. Hilarious!!!!
After fork handles, four candles, this is the best comedy sketch ever written.
Plot twist:
there were only 10 floors
OMG
I did not think of that.
This explains it all lol
"Freedom" = "free doors" in the ai closed captions, amazing😊
Why does it sound a little low-toned?
Best line:Because they knew they'd be sellin this to Scottish people who'd be goin off their nuts at it!
Lol, I heard "for months at it"
@@catholicdad Only proves the point that only Scots can understand Scottish lmao.
I live nowhere near any English-speaking country, but this is some good comedy.
I decided to watch this with subtitles on and it just made it funnier, the automatic subtitles butcher it completely. Highly recommended to watch with subtitles 🤣🤣
Oh my bloody goodness, was in public watching with closer captions. Scholar! Scholar! The auto generated text 😆🤣 the struggle is so real!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ef you don't understand Elango. What the fuck is Elango? 😅
And "Freedom!" becomes "Three doors!" 😂
I have lost count of the number of times that I have watched this video clip and still the tears roll down my face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jesus this sketch is so underrated and humble
Just the best sketch from this programme full stop. Brilliant writing and performance... 11...
"ohh just take us anywhere ya cow. Just open the doors" Just the best line i've ever heard
These two guys dried out my tears,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is still funny also even the closed captions / subtitles don’t know the Scottish accent as they either miss out words or get them wrong
My D&D group now shouts "Eleven!" whenever it comes up in a roll. Good shit.
Hahah "Freedom!!!" roflmao - My scottish coworker showed me this. I love it! XD
Up there with "two candles", and "my blackberry has stopped working".
Wonderful observational comedy sketches ❤.
This video always makes me laugh so hard even on my worse days 🤣🤣
My belly hurts from laughing so hard.
When I need a good laugh I come back to this video. Timeless and priceless!
this is one of the best ones ever 😍
I learned to recognize the scotish accent just watching this fantastic video! It was very very helpful! ❤️ 😀😀👍👌
This is a classic!
I think I shall immediately subscribe to this channel even though I already listen to a lot of Radio
Scotland. Thanks alexa!
Returning to this gem once again. Still cracks me up 😂
My absolute favourites
I quote this sketch EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I kid you not, every day.
Brilliant! Lost track of how many times I've watched that. 🤣
Being part-Scottish myself, this is the first time I've seen and laughed at something so hard I cried. I may be American, but I embraced my Scottish heritage on my dad's side. This really made my day! SCOTLAND!🤣
I watched this years ago but still enjoy showing my friends who haven't seen it. Now they get it when I say, "Eleven!"
Rumour has it they're still stuck in the elevator...
I’ve watched this so many times I’ve started saying 11 in a Scottish accent😂
Reminds me of the post-credits voice activated computer scene from The IT Crowd. "Hello Computer".
even after years or speaking and learning english I still don't catch every word, BUT it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. No idea why it only got 1,2m views so far.
His "american accent" sounds like New York Italian maffia in movies 😂
It does
My best friends send me this and said this made him learn Scottish accent😂💀
Too bad they didn't keep going with more people getting on. Would have been fun to see that escalate.
"Yew from the same part of England as Dick van Dyke?" BRILLIANT in joke about Mary Poppins.
An in-joke is a joke that relies on knowledge that only the people sharing the joke have. Dick Van Dyke's performance in _Mary Poppins_ is common knowledge.
@@omp199 I'm guessing that nowadays there are lots of people who've never heard of Dick Van Dyke or Mary Poppins.

"This is a voice activated elevator", they do realise that elevators are called "Lifts" in the UK and other parts of the Anglosphere.
Fridge Brilliance kicks in here: the lift's accent is pure Midwestern American.
Ponerle subtítulos automaticos y ver que solo entiende al ascensor es lo mejor que pudo haber pasado
Best skit ever.
it's taken me eight years to realise that they could have said ten and then used the stairs.
Well, that's sucked the joy from another vid. My work here is done. Mwahaha
ten? As if that makes it any easier. 😅
Scotland SCOTLAND
SCOTLAAAND
FREEEEEEDOOOOOM
Goin up?
Gets me every time 😂 Scotland!!! Freedom!!!!
SCOTLAND!!!!!
@@MarshallRedmon01FREEDOM!!!!
I think of this every time I try talking to my Subaru Voice driven console - which is just as hopeless in 2023 as when this skit was done.
'Please' - I'm with them! Why would a machine be 'pleased' by my doing something??
Freedooooooom!
Fantastic
I lol anytime I see it and there are many. Never got bored 👍
I love lifts
That's a shame there is no subtitles, if you are a vocal recognition program you can understand it D:
Althearya 2031 or Scottish ;)
as a welsh person, voice recognition cannot recognise accents other than american. it can abrely do english, let aslone scottish
They sound Dutch.
And Russian at some point while they tried to say 'eleven'😂
The automatically generated subtitles add a completely new layer to the comedy 😂
"Oh Just take us anywere you cow . . .just open the doors"
THE FUNNIEST SCETCH EVER….😂
I'm pretty sure no matter how funny something is laugh tracks automatically make them much less so.
FREEDOM!!!!! That totally cracked me up!! (Come on guys! Speak 'Merican!)
This vid is why I scream Scotland and Freedom in an elevator
Superb.
The comedy in this sketch has been turned up to eleven… eleven… eleven… eleven…
Plot twist...
They needed to say "FLOOR eleven"
I wonder how is the technology advanced all these years
My Peruvian wife asked Alexa what the weather would be. Alexa answered in Spanish. Wife was not pleased!!

Dzisiaj jeszcze śmieszy, ale jutro już nie będzie.
I hang the phone up when they use voice recognition 😂
Nice

"You have not selected a floor. AYE WE HAVE! 11!"
thx god I was sitting while watching ;-)
