Also very few Scots have Nordic ancestry, we're mainly Picts, Gaels and Celts. Nordic ancestry only applies to Islanders such as people from Shetland and Orkney

Monty Python = Harold Potter is turned into a Scotsman J.K. Rowling = Harold Potter is recuited for wizard school by a Scotsman hmm...you might have a point
I thought this too. Rowling favourite actor is John Cleese. That's why he was in the films. So its likely she had seen this. Also the starting line is very like the first line of the Philosopher's Stone
Your use of English is very good and your spelling is as good, if not better than most Americans. You also have an excellent sense of humor. Sorry to have given you any shit about your comment. Have a great day, wherever you are.
I love this sketch, being a Scotsman myself I don't mind it. The most ironic thing about it is that the number 4 tennis player in the world and number 1 British player right now is a Scotsman, Mr Andy Murray. Does anyone know what the bagpipe tune is that plays when people turn into Scotsmen? I really like it lol.
Can anyone figure out what that street sign says when the first guy runs off? I think parts of this have been filmed around my hometown. I've verified that 'New Pudsey' is indeed New Pudsey Station, but I'm curious as to where the rest of it takes place.
Well if all of England (minus Scotland & Ireland of course), suddenly fell victim to such an Alien force, the World would probably be for the better, now wouldn't it?
I have some drama homework where we have to write monologues about what our lives would be like depending on our option choices. I'm so tempted to write, "I never wanted to be a banker. I wanted to be a lumberjack..."
This is based on actual events, and historic facts, I know these people, their called the Kamac.Kenzies, they joined the 51st Highland Division, and were wiped out at the Somme and again at Dunkirk. Plenty left for Monte Cassino..nudge, nudge, wink, wink.!!!
And next thing you know is, that you joined the Scotsmen Kamikaze Squad.

3:07 The baby turning scottish was pure gold.
You're a scotsman harold.
jj van lierop This blew me away. Thanks!
wow
I’m a wot, laddie?
Is his nickname Harry ?
As a Scotsman I find this hilarious we do love lampooning ourselves the Irish Welsh and the English too just harmless banter
Is there a reason for the clenched fist to lead them to march?
so that's how scotland was formed
*ALIENS*
The sign cleverly saying 'Welsh guards' in front of the soldiers is exceptional.
Rebecca Marshall Terry Jones himself is Welsh. Apparently, John Cleese gives him lots of grief over it.
James Hunter fair enough, I know the feeling
Mr. Llewellyn?
If Doctor Who was written by the Python team, this is probably what it would be like.
Same goes for Sherlock.
It might be worth watching then
IT ISN'T?? :O
Rienk Kroese No, sorry; Dr. Who is tired and stale, and really nothing but a platform for scumbag sjw propaganda.
Slappy No that is not Doctor Who. Doctor Who ended in 1989.
I love how the introduction was a mix between the voices of Rod Serling and Carl Sagan lol
"So let's forget about them..." XD
3:11 I think we just found the origins of The Demoman.
AH DIDENT NEED YER HELP YA KNOW
AMTK 6908 AHM DRUNK YE DONT HAVE EXCUSE!!
Adeuanauieg
Ohhhh, I'm goin' ta liquify ye.
I'm gunna burry wahts left ahv yah inna soup cahn!
These sketches were brilliant. Never seen the like
on TV before or since. Comic genius!
Illuminati confirmed!!!!
3:13 Meet the Demoman.
I thought that this was a spoof on Carl Sagan's Cosmos TV show, then I learned it came out ten years after this Monty Python sketch. Sci Fi.
Yeah, I'm not really sure what happened there either, real baffling.
Carl Sagan was known before Cosmos.
Also very few Scots have Nordic ancestry, we're mainly Picts, Gaels and Celts. Nordic ancestry only applies to Islanders such as people from Shetland and Orkney
I used to turn into a scotsman every now and then, when i was younger, but now i'm much better.
That opening must be a predecessor to the Galaxy song.
_A land where by whim of nature, any human could become another creature entirely._
_A land only present in The Twilight Zone._
Well, I mean, that's the feel the first half of this skit gave me xP
Wasn't this story somehow linked with the killer blancmange at Wimbledon?
I liked how the baby in the pram also turned into a Scotsman.
So is this the inspiration for Harry Potter?
No
Yes, JK Rowling wrote the entire 7 books as a prequel to this sketch.
Where is the sketch of They turn into Scotsman because it's their destiny.
Who said visiting space aliens didn't have a warped sense of humor?
.
If only those aliens turned those MAGA fanatics into Scotsmen. 😆
No further questions.
That Carl Sagan's reference made me chuckle.
The graphics in this film put the Twilight saga to shame. Same as the plot
Yer a Scotsman, Harry.
The long-lost eighth Harry Potter book.
Harry Potter and the Founder's Tartan.
when I first saw this sketch I was like "what the hell?!" when the first guy turned Scottish
Eric makes the perfect frumpy woman.
I think Alex salmond wants to try this :P
Say whatever you want, but this sketch definitely was an inspiration for Harry Potter. Even the beginning resembles one of Philosopher's Stone
Did JK Rowling take Harry Potter from this?
Monty Python = Harold Potter is turned into a Scotsman
J.K. Rowling = Harold Potter is recuited for wizard school by a Scotsman
hmm...you might have a point
I thought this too. Rowling favourite actor is John Cleese. That's why he was in the films. So its likely she had seen this. Also the starting line is very like the first line of the Philosopher's Stone
Not the bit about space. The bit where they walk down the train station
One thing bugs me: why they raise their right arm?
It's the Scottish salute from 1939-45.
OOOH! That explains it (a few folks I showed this clip to had other ideas)
Actually, it's the ROMAN salute and nearly all armies used it until the 1930's.
they have their fists clenched...
I remember this one from when I was a kid. It was SO hard to find online that I was starting to think I had imagined it.
Harold Potter eh?
I immediately thought of Harry Potter.
Executus300 so that's how it all started...
Well, one of the candies in the books was called 'Cockroach Cluster' . You can see that in the 'Crunchy Frog' sketch. She must have been a Python fan.
"Inadequate brain capacity." Well that explains Ms. Sturgeon's many fuck ups then.
So basically, Harry Potter was turned into a Scotsman by the space aliens!
Ahh I love this sketch! Is there anyway to get the entire sketch. I know it's a whole episode but gosh it's the best one! Thanks for posting!
I bust my guts laughing every time I see this.
Your use of English is very good and your spelling is as good, if not better than most Americans. You also have an excellent sense of humor. Sorry to have given you any shit about your comment. Have a great day, wherever you are.
As a Scotsman I can answer that question, the Pub
So let's forget about them... Brilliant.
One of the sillier Monty Python sketches (And that's saying a lot!).
I love this sketch, being a Scotsman myself I don't mind it. The most ironic thing about it is that the number 4 tennis player in the world and number 1 British player right now is a Scotsman, Mr Andy Murray.
Does anyone know what the bagpipe tune is that plays when people turn into Scotsmen? I really like it lol.
You didn't post the whole sketch, you must be a Scotsman!
He gets turned into a Scotsman on my old road! Southmere Terrace in Bradford :)
How come Eric Idle always looked good as a woman
What a wonderful comedian! Would you caress my butt, please! (sketch tobbaco shop, czech tourist, court attorney).
No, Graham Chapman was the only genuine homosexual in the troupe.
Eric Idle is by far my favorite woman of the pythons.
@Sarah K. Yeah but nothing beats Terry Jones as a cantankerous old bat!
" Pure Quality "
They mean to win Wimbledon!
0:43 - 1:01 you've just crossed over into, The Twilight Zone!
Most valuable part of the UK: Scotland! This accent!!! Monty Pythons at the speed of the run!
pmsl...from a scotsman! this is fucking hilarious. Although i am stoned :)
where's the rest of this sketch? The alien blancmange that wants to win Wimbledon!
home river not as funny as the UFO turning people Scottish
You know you can undo dislikes.
last british guy: they did it, they finally did it, damn you all to hell!
Song is Let's Have a Ceilidh for those wondering
Harold (Harry) Potter didn't turn into a Scotsman, he just went to Scotland for school at Hogwarts.
The Science Fiction Sketch!
Can anyone figure out what that street sign says when the first guy runs off? I think parts of this have been filmed around my hometown. I've verified that 'New Pudsey' is indeed New Pudsey Station, but I'm curious as to where the rest of it takes place.
3:11 It's the Demoman!
thats where valve came up with the demoman!
And that's where tf2's demoman came from.
Well if all of England (minus Scotland & Ireland of course), suddenly fell victim to such an Alien force, the World would probably be for the better, now wouldn't it?
No!
But scotland and ireland are not in england
Beowulf1ca LOL another Anglophobe who's shit at geography.. Explain why the world would be better of then?
Joseph Lidster..LOL. That might tax his 12 brain cells.
it's okay, he probably just forget to also exclude northern england as well
To the glen where the kipper roams free
Why do I find this so hilarious?
if you have not noticed this show has recieved some of the best reviews!
Genius.
I have some drama homework where we have to write monologues about what our lives would be like depending on our option choices.
I'm so tempted to write, "I never wanted to be a banker. I wanted to be a lumberjack..."
Charlie Chaplin looked great with it. Especially when he played Hitler in The Great Dictator which was his first talkie.
It must be bloody hilarious in Scotland, then.
The little known period in the mid-19th century, during the dreaded "Third Pike"
*trollface*
I liked it. But times are long gone. It was back then in the good old 70s.
The Twilight Zone, Monty Python style.
The truth hurts sometimes.
This is probably the most ridiculous skit they ever did. I love it.
The beginning of the first Harry Potter book. Does it ring a bell here? Anyone?
I am decended from the clan MacMillan and this is funny stuff!
long live monty python!
I know I'm 14 years late, but it's always good to see another descendant of Clan MacMillan.
If you want to watch the full sketch, courtesy of Chadner, search for "Science Fiction Sketch" (CZcams won't let me post the web address)
To Scotland of course!
HAHAHA this is brilliant! But why do they stick their fists out?
OMG I forgot about this one 😂😂😂
The episode is called Monty Python's Sci-fi Scetch.
Valentine family were not a clan, but still a proud family from Montrose !
He didn't have an inadequate brain capacity?
Every Nigel's secret dream is to be Scottish.
This is based on actual events, and historic facts, I know these people, their called the Kamac.Kenzies, they joined the 51st Highland Division, and were wiped out at the Somme and again at Dunkirk. Plenty left for Monte Cassino..nudge, nudge, wink, wink.!!!
I must find one or more of those costumes.
It werent such a man, as it was...A BLAMONGE!!!!!
To the tailor to get their sporrans sewn up
Forget independence day, that's really scary.
Is that Lenny Henry playing sax at 3.10, I can't find anything about it. I've seen this sketch so many times, but only noticed this today.
Where all scots go; to battle!
Anyone else thinks the narrator sounds like Mr. Smith from the Matrix?
This feels like a Douglas Adams novel
Thankfully, I already don't remember this.
Oh cmon.. It's missing all the part about aliens and Tennis...
I lived there your bang on
Wait...Harold Potter?
So it IS possible! I always thought that "I'm Turning Japanese" song from the '80s was nonsense, but I guess I was wrong! :-O
