David Tennant is just so effortlessly cool xD
Myaaaaa I love him 😂
Which is quite an achievement for a Scotch.
I love Stephen...
'Go- go on, go on. Take him, go on. Get your sonic thing out-'
"What, hedgehog?"
I have no idea why the English think the Scottish are so cheap. I was in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago, and didn't have any coins. I asked a guy if I could borrow 30p from him. He said I had to wait, went off, and when he returned, he dumped for 5 pounds worth of 10 and 20p coins in my hands, said "Here, now ya can shit a few times" and walked away! They are the most friendly people I ever met.
The scots are the best
Mitzi Paap You want scotland to be independent why exactly? Because they can?
Scotland is far better in the UK than outside of it, nobody says they cannot go alone but everybody is better off together in the union.
You know who else wanted Scotland to be independent? Russia and North Korea.
I like the netherlands, we have been allies for centuries but why would you want your long time ally to get weaker? That's a pretty big fuck you to the UK.
WangQi I've looked at lists of inventions from Scots and English people and the English one is way larger ? Scotlands contributions are impressive for a small country, but don't try to make out the English are some kind of sub-normal neanderthals, we have similar education systems, all our academics work together in research, etc..
How about a list.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_inventions_and_discoveries
We don't think 'the Scottish are cheap'. We think the Scotch are mean.
That said, an amazingly large number of top British scientists, engineers and inventors have been Scots. Same for American ones, too.
I thought humans where 70% water, but most of the people in the comments section are 100% salt
Wizard Magizard actually they are 100% shit!
Potassium permanganate here. Any other interesting salts around?
with a little hint of peber
Am a proud as fuck Scot and I don't see why other Scottish people are so offended by this. If you've ever watched lee Mack, you'll know fine well that he stereotypes everyone in his act. Geordies, scousers, mancs, cockneys, the Welsh, southerners, northerners etc so how is this any different? Stop taking it so personally. Fair enough, this joke wasn't that funny, but it's hardly offensive is it? It's just a joke. But to those that are calling him an "unfunny wanker," you probably haven't seen him on would I lie to you. One of the quickest and gifted comedy minds I’ve ever seen, jokes in a nanosecond
The difference is most of those stereotypes are in England and treated as proper first class citizens. Scots, are not.
There were actually 2 tanks. They sent one to Liverpool, it's still there because some bastard stole the tracks.
That's a funny shout tbf
The Batman it's fucking 12 am and I just burst out laughing and woke my entire family up. Best shit IV seen all day
Pretty old joke.
Lee Mack is both funny and annoying at the same time. It's a confusing feeling to have.
+Rose English Deluxe i like the guy but imo hes funny when hes got a script, annoying otherwise.
this was probably scripted ...
I love him on WILTY, but on QI you just want him yo shut up for a minute.
synchc but a lot of his panel show appearances, most blatantly on would I lie to you, are not scripted, silly person.
Rose English Deluxe I find him mostly annoying. But all a matter of taste of course.
"Scotland should vote to politically separate from the rest of the country because that one English comedian on that panel show made some jokes about Scottish people in light-hearted jest" is the vibe I'm getting from a few of these comments.
RochRich you're not that great at getting vibes then and you should probably check out this new cool thing called the news...
Am I the only Scottish person who isn't that mad at this? I mean, it wasn't very funny but it's still meant as a joke. It's not meant seriously at all, don't take it that way.
+Luke (RegularRaccoon) Non-Scottish here, but Lee Mack does bash the corpse a few times too many, don't you agree? Of course he's taking the piss, and good on him for doing it. But when his grin is plastered on every-single-camera-cut, and he is trying to score audience points on every-single-remark-by-Tennant I start to question his confidence and sense of comedy.
I agree that it wasn't overly funny and it was quite mean - he could even be perceived to just be just acting like an arse to Tennant to get laughs. I was just saying that it probably isn't worth getting mad about. It's his job to be funny and apparently many people in the audience found it that way
***** Well, no. There's clever riffing on conventional stereotypes-- Bill Bailey has ribbed Stephen on his posh upbringing a few times, but lets it rest too. And then there's battering the old nuggets that are well and truly boring at some point, such as the Scottish miser.
Agree to disagree?
***** I think we just turned to the same page.
+RegularRaccoon Where is Frankie Boyle when ya need him? :P
That is one of the reasons why I love the scottish, as they are one of the few country's that can take a banter without crying about it!
We are used to being mocked so we have to be positive lol
When English people take the piss out of us we just laugh to make them feel better because we know everyone feels sorry for them whilst everyone loves us XD
Awww, we love you too pal! 😂❤😁
Personally I always figured from my Scottish family, that the point of being thrifty was saving the money at shops and stuff so that you can give it away when people needed it. My grandad searched the flyers for deals like any stereotypical Scot, but then he gave half of it away to whoever needed it.
you gotta love David Tennant, especially in Dr. Who
I'm so straight for David Tennant.
Oh God I'm crying from laughter. I love Tennant so much.
Glasweigians are perhaps the most generous people in the United Kingdom. We know what it's like to be fucked by those in power so always try and help the unfortunate. Go to London; people wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.
***** "spit on you if you were on fire" made me laugh so hard
"wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire". I don't understand if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Like, surely I don't want to be spat on, but is there an exception if I'm on fire? Because spitting hardly would make a difference, but then again, at least you are trying to put the fire out?
The expression where i am is "wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire" though im not certain thats any better
Go to London. I guarantee you'll either be mugged or not appreciated.
Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway.
I'm a Londoner and I can verify this is true.
Thankfully I'm from a decent, quiet, friendly suburb... ironically "dear old Maggie's" old hood.
But the rest of London is one giant shithole that lives in its own arse.
I think Bill was geekin out.
As always Bill Bailey has the actual comedic goods.
Can you imagine being stuck in a lift for 5 hours with Lee Mack?
It would be a guaranteed blood bath and a twenty stretch.
David Tennant does such a good job of keeping his cool at Lee Mack's insults.
They're not insults bloody hell nobody understands how the British talk about themselves except the British.
@@RenewedRS Other way around, nobody understands how the British talk about themselves other than the British.
@@ThexMJT That is literally what I said.
@@RenewedRS So you did, I read it completely wrong.
That's now three Doctor Who veterans: David Tennant, Stephen Fry and Lee Mack all now have Doctor Who credits on their CV.
Lee Mack is awesome, I don't care what you guys say. Sure, a little heavy on the piss-taking of Velvet Jacket but his responses were really quick.
Does knowing who this David Tenant person is make me cultured then? I'm not Scottish sorry
Ah, Doctor Who. My parents wanted me to start from the beginning, so I started from Hartnell when I was five and am now watching Mccoy (16 now, currently watching Survival). I vaguely remember when Tenant was announced as the new Doctor, even more so the twelfth because there was a big hoo hah about an older Doctor with Capaldi and was puzzled as there were older Doctors then anyway. I've watched Harry Potter though, but I haven't noticed him. I'll look for him in the next marathon on television
"Get your sonic thing out." :D
Bill: "What, Hedgehog?"
Dang that velvet suit tho :3
Perfect mix of 5 comedians for a Christmas show!
ask an Englishman the way, they'll tell you. Ask a Scot and they'll take you
+Philip Taylor From behind.
No, I'm Scottish. I am pretty sure I'm not rapey. Still funny though.
Not rape, your comment.
+John Joe
Ha, ha.
+Philip Taylor Because the fucker's a workshy weegie twat.
+Malc180s
Spot on. And he'll probably be a Heroin addict wanting to mug you....typical jock.
I was in the audience for this show and I had tears rolling down my face it was 2 1/2 of laughter and lots of swearing cut out Loved it
O my, Bill Bailey acting ut the explosions from David's "sonic screwdriver" is just killing me XD
It should be mandatory that all living Doctors carry a sonic screwdriver! :D
Yep it should
I have always considered the light hearted rivalry between all the people that make up the UK to be like a family. We may bicker with each other but would always unite to face a common foe. We should remember we are stronger together than we are apart. Those who try to separate us need to keep that in mind. Being an island race is one of strengths, and accounts for our independent spirit.
Bill is the funniest lad ever...he always seems to be the one not taking the piss out of the other guys but yet still ends up being the funniest.....watch the one where they have ago at Welch people......he makes a Joke about a "whale" same as he makes a joke about the screw driver here as if to say fuck you all I don't need to take cheap shots like you all to be funny!
I just love near the end when Steven sneaked in that "oh dear oh dear" which went more or less unnoticed.
I just imagine the "fuck off ally" scene being done with a tank.
Why are so many people in the comments offended by this? Like, if THIS offends you, for the love of god don't go outside.
Am I the only one that started to read comments in Scottish accent after watching this video?
And I'm loving it!
David Tennant looks quite nice in that suit. The red is very flattering on him.
Was kinda hoping David would just chuck his pen across the room at Lee when they started making sonic jokes.
I love the fact that we in the UK (or will it be after the 18th) can take the piss out of each other, with sarcastic glee.
Can we?
If an English person makes fun of a Scots person then its all a bit of fun, but if a Scots person makes fun of an English person we're being anti English, and we're suddenly being accused of blood and sand nationalism.
***** Didnt seem that way when you guys had the vote, y'all were yammering on about how amazing and free scotland would be - hating on english, quite harshly indeed. But England is nice enough to let you guys stay XD
***** If there is a football match and England are playing against say Denmark, who would you be cheering for?
Deborah Hallam Neither
Allot of Scottish people despise the English football team for quite good reason, two reasons to be precise.
1: England is placed in an easy group in every competition, whilst I cant remember the last time Scotland didn't play Germany, France, or Italy.
2: Each and every member of the English football team is a complete and utter cunt, and most English people know it.
I don't see how the opinion of some Scots in regards to the English football team is relevant though, it's got nothing to do with English people.
***** That's called 'seeding', England don't face Germany, Italy or France because they ARE the Germany, Italy or France of their own group. Seeding happens on purpose so that statistically great nations are the ones always likely to get out of the group stages, big teams equal big audience equal big money, small teams have to work harder because Adidas wouldn't sponsor a world cup final between Botswana and New Zealand. I'm Scottish, I'm still chuffed that we gave it a go at Euro '96.
A more apt question you could have asked would have been "Why are England seeded so high when they are shite?", England has great players (not necessarily world class), but every 2 years these great players get together and get embarrassed by their European contemporaries. France won a world cup FFS...
The complete lack of a sense of humour on display in the comments is sublime.
***** There's extra tension at the moment because the Scottish referendum is coming up (not going to touch that debate), but even so, a joke's a joke. Most Englishmen I know don't mind the upper-crust tit stereotype, however unfounded or otherwise it might be. It's all in good humour.
***** Well, one thing to keep in mind is that there's no 1000-year history of oppression and bloodshed between Australia and NZ.
"And then say absolutely nothing about it." David's too cute.
HAHAHAHAHAHA you just made my day :D
Scots rule!
+Stewart K am sure the midge army is very happy to obey your every whim...
Not anymore... Wait they never even had an empirr
What exactly?
Lee Mack is so quick. Such a smart comedian.
David with his pen is hilarious!
I didn't know about David Tennant until this episode and I think I'm in love, his accent, his humor and a pretty good looking guy. :)
*GLASGOW*!!!
Sometimes Lee Mack just tries too hard.
OMG this "sonic thing out" made me laugh out loud :D
David Tennant's sideburns look like the Korean peninsula
"Hilarious" moment on QI? Really? I don't think David Tennant found it funny and neither do I. He's right, Wegies are honestly the most generous people you will ever meet.
Lauren Mitchell Typical British banter.We can't help taking the mick out of each other and our own countries and laugh about it.Alternatively America takes the mick out of their country just for the sake of an angry rant.So we have that Ying and Yang relationship going.
Lauren Mitchell you know English people make fun over every other country in the U.K. Because of the hilarious past of war and repression. It's fucking hilarious
As an American looking in, this sort of rhetoric is a bit jolting. I know there is some culturally relative level of acceptance for deprecating Scottish stereotypes. However, David Tennant is clearly uncomfortable by the comments. About 60% of this comment is driven by the fact that I firmly believe no one should fuck with the Doctor...
+Adam Anderson that's 5 and we the republic of ireland aren't in union with the Uk, we are our own nation😎 but i totally agree about the stereotypes the slagging is merciless ha
+Adam Anderson - There's actually only 2 nations. 3 if you include the RoI. Wales and N. Ireland aren't nations and never have been. Yes, I'm being pedantic but hope you realise it's done tongue in cheek. I know what you meant. ;)
+Codex7777 Wales isn't a nation? How did you come to that conclusion when it's the oldest language still spoken in Europe? Cymru am byth!
***** - A languge is not the same as a nation. I wasn't denigrating anybody, or anything. I love Wales. I was merely stating facts. :)
+Christopher Russell Goodall I love wales too but you are a poor mans Ireland, ye never had the balls to fight for your independence like we did 😜
"what are you going to do?! assemble a cabinet at them?"
The Sonic Pen. It's very good for writing on paper, not so good for fighting Daleks however.
It's clear from the comments here that at least one Scottish stereotype is perfectly true: when it comes to national insults - even light-hearted ones - they can dish it out, but they sure as hell can't take it. Miserable bloody hypocrites.
+jjdecani I agree entirely: the Scots seriously can't take a joke about themselves and I've noticed this time and time again. Thin-skinned bastards.
This comment section being the prime example of stupid Scots who can't have a laugh. Miserable cunts.
We _really_ gonna play this game?
Fine then.
All Englishman are racist pricks who would sooner generalise an entire nationality than be critical of themselves.
I lick my cats dunkyhole
Lee Mack is about as funny as a baby's funeral.
9 years later after 2 million views you got 3 likes in total lol.
The very definition of an unpopular opinion
That...is a wonderful suit on David Tennant. It's lovely.
Damned good stuff!
Lee mack is horrible. Got that irritating smug look about him.
Lee Mack is a prat. He's one of those unfunny and mouthy comedians who gives shit to people but when it's thrown back at him, he can't take it.
oh he took it pretty well. You are the one getting so frustrated. it doesnt matter if jokes were good or bad, as an outsider i find it fascinating how much crying there is in comment section.
He can't take it? What are you even talking about? Have you ever seen WILTY?
I think that the bit with the Sonic pen-driver could've been a hilarious QI moment all on it's own :D
Lol, inspector spacetime in the background
Used to like Lee Mack but not after this. He is acting out of frustration because he is way out of his league here. Intelligence-wise.
Totally agree about Lee Mack, he keeps on getting louder and louder until no one else can be heard and then see how many laughs he can get. I'd love it, if the other panelists, and audience, just didn't laugh once, and watch him slowly sink into his own pool of embarrassment.
+Paul H But they laugh each time, because he's funny... Weird point you're trying to make
Aww thank you :o
You're soo kind!
I have no idea what they're saying, but I love the way they're saying it.
That's a really classy suit David is wearing
Haha Lee Mack is a legend. You always gotta make those jokes.
OMG it's the Doctor! 0_0 The entire clip that was all I could think.
For a second there I thought David Tennant was wearing a piece of celery on his lapel. Which would be exceptionally fitting.
David Tennant's actually quite a good sport for taking Lee Mack's constant ribbing about Scotland. So I have to give him that one.
I love the decorative vegetable
Lee Mack is an excellent comic, and quite old fashioned in a lot of ways.
For the people who say he's dragging the humour down to a sillier level, WHAT DO YOU THINK ALAN DAVIS' ROLE HAS BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING?
I think its fine to make fun of the Scottish for drinking too much, after all we did still manage to invent almost everything, imagine what we could of done if we were sober
Oh God Bill at 0:49 floored me XD
You can say what you want about Lee Mack but you have to give it to him his rebuttle to David Tennant's charity tank story was very good.
That suit David Tennant's wearing should be a future outfit for the Doctor :P
Kirkpatrick MacMillan's "wooden horse" was an evolutionary dead-end as far as bicycles went, even though it was the first bicycle propelled by something other than the rider's feet on the ground. Logie Baird's television was a similar dead-end. And it took an Australian, Howard Florey, to turn Fleming's discovery into the usable medicine that is pennicillin.
Because silence must fall when the question is answered.
Thanks for probably the most epic reply i have heard on youtube :)
I'm Scots and I LOVED the fruit machine reference. Hilarious. :D
Thank you.
No matter how many times I watch this it's still funny. Though I can't really understand the jokes. lol
@Pluck Yew That was the most civilized argument I've ever seen.
David Tennant(the guy that was waving it around) played the doctor who. The pen was supposed to be a sonic screwdriver, sorta like a weapon.
@wimpylassiter2336 To be honest, I didn't imagine any tone of voice: I never watched Dr. Who, so I just assumed you knwe more about the subject than me. When I said "I stand corrected" I meant exactly that *smile*. Thanks for watching!
We are mostly like fellow countrymembers.. The only time we have grudges is during sports and even then its mostly brotherly:P
(Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland then..And maybe Iceland!)
But thank you for explaining, its truly unlike the internet to do so.. For that i thank you again!
i love his accent!!
I like how Stephen Fry was like "haha... (wait... no) oooh, careful."
It was indeed. Such a momentous occasion it was, when that broccoli first passed Scottish lips, in that rainy old town of Flodden.
The English truly won that day. A victory savored forever.
having seen David Tennant play Kilgrave I would be very afraid of that pen, or rather how he would get me to use that pen
So that's what it was, knew there was something. Thanks
I've seen Lee Mack on several different shows and truly can't abide him.
Now they are laughing.
Just wait until he pulls out his claymore and chops of their heads highlander style. :P
... I need this episode remade now.
Barty Crouch, Jr
Oh god... This is the first time I've heard David Tennet's accent. ANNNNDDD I get it now.
"which one got the most money Glasgow" *shakes fist* barrowman!
LMFAO get your sonic *thing* out hahahah sounded a bit wrong XD
That's 15 minutes I'm not getting back...
Yes, the Caves of Andrezania (I know the spellings wrong). But it was only put in on Davidson's request. He said the writers had to explain the reason behind it before he left, so they made throwaway line in his last episode. And technically it turned purple when exposed to certain gases of some sort of alien spectrem - to alert him since he was allergic to them.
IF (and that is a key word), I was backing up Leslies statement.
The reason I believe is, we (Scots) never get to see any news about the separation side. The TV channels (coincidentally? all run in England mostly) only seem to tell you the reasons why we should stick together.
So the people who didn't have a vote decided yet, get only one side pushed on them, unless they look for the other side.
I love his accent... GLASGOW!!
... and his hair.
See David in an early tv series…Taking Over The Asylum. It’s brilliant. Ken Stott, Angus McFadyen, Katy Murphy before they were really famous!
