Also known as ‘That One Sketch Where Everybody Turns Into Scotsmen.’ When aliens from the galaxy of Andromeda come to Earth, people mysteriously turn into Scotsmen. And blancmanges have been seen on tennis courts up and down England–practising. What will happen next? There are 2 more parts after this– I had to split it up because of YouTube’s 10-minute limit.

For more, visit science.discovery.com Michio Kaku presents his design for a starship that will help him to travel through space. Will his design have the ability to travel where no man has gone before?
I’m Scottish and I love this sketch!! Damn it’s funny!!!
Ahh, the Brits and their addiction to making fun of Scotland. Probably makes for some of the best comedy I’ve ever seen.
Damn it! Why can’t I be that blonde that gets to throw herself all over Graham? I know he’s gay, but DAMN is he hot!
The dialogues about the Scots are utterly wicked:
Charles: Now first of all, why would anyone turn into a Scotsman?
She: For business reasons?
Charles: No, no! Only because he has no control over his own destiny! Look I’ll show you.
Though the English types will rue this ere long because ten years later devolution was introduced and the Scottish National Party is gaining ever more support among the Scots; so the rebirth of Scotland is certainly at hand!
7:24 look at Eric Idle’s scarf. Gryffindor.
This is very similar to the beginning of Harry Potter. Did anyone else notice that? I guess J.K. Is a fan.
This IS how Scotsmen walk. I’ve been there several times & they all walk like this (even the women and children). They all leave their huts at dusk in search of broth.
3:45 to 3:47 (pause)
We are The Nation of Domination! Or, new member of New Nexus.
Anyone know the name of the music playing from 4:07 to 4:46?
I love how the bagpipes start playing for no reason when the people get turn to scottsmen.
Does anyone happen to know what that bagpipe tune is called, please?
I laughed so hard I had a hard time breathing!!
*gets turned into scotsmen and marches to Scotland with fist in the air*
hahaha first time i saw this i loled sooo high i almost died xD
I wish every store had a sign that said McClosed. lol
Nazi Scotsman?
Oh god, I actually remember seeing this on the TV
But then I’m older than Highlander
@shootxthexmessenger I violently agree with you
I love this one so much
And of course, J.K. Rowling is Scottish. (first victim: Harold Potter)
3 people lead perfectly ordinary lives. And not the kind of people to watch one of the most astounding videos in the history of television. So let’s forget about them.
3 people were turned into Scotsmen.
People turning into scotsmen that’s complete bull..*Extends fist and marches to Scotland*
and now a message about keeping your radio on during the night…. keep the radio on during the night! So simple yet so funny
@jimgselder That’s what i though the first time i saw it.
“I’ll have to do it in two goes!”
that is one ugly looking starship,,, also it cant be called a starship because it doesnt have the size requirement of a ss,, picture the usg ishimura from the game deadspace, now that is a freaking kickass starship
by placing a starship out of phase or totally in a dimmension or sub dimmension you have problems with debris hitting your ship so why the need of massive shielding
Building a doughnut-capsule doesn’t make sense, I think, if he’s planning to use centrifugal force in substitute for gravity. The heads of the astronauts (closest to the center) will be under stronger pull than the feet, which probably isn’t too healthy.
At least that’s what I suppose…
@markjason2 Michio Kaku
@theblaquebaastid i have no idea what you just said(all chinese).
Heres an idea: WORK ON FUCKING SHIPS!!
You need a force field to get throgh the asteroid belt? Serously? Because “a pinprick” would kill the whole ship? Shame on you. How fast do you think it would be be going by then, on a 40 YEAR JOURNEY? And how do you build one anyway? I stopped watching at point
Someone once said that movies depict asteroid belts as “porous brick walls”. Uh, just look up how many deep space probes have already passed through the asteroid belt WITHOUT “force shields”.
i could imagine something something better
@markjason2 he is intergalactic spy
who is this person??. a white haired guy. because i see him all over the internet predicting… creating,,, and etc.
Hey, that guy was the narrator of a space documentary in Netflix!
very interesting!
@SignificantOwl loll i know micro particule is dangerous … but i meant about the asteroid belt why crossing it …..because the asteroid belt is like saturn ring … so if you want to go on saturn you wil not take the pat that bring you to cross the belt to get to the surface .. so why crossing the belt if you want to get out of our solar system …
@GHOSTTOYS And by catastrophic, I mean that as soon as you go beyond tiny pebbles, the energy released can go into and beyond atomic bomb scale. It’s serious stuff.
@GHOSTTOYS Obviously you go around the large asteroids. The problem is that spaceships move at speeds that are hard to imagine. Driving fast in a car doesn’t come close to comparing. If a pebble hits your car, you will at worst suffer a scratch, -maybe- a cracked (but not entirely broken) window. If a pebble-sized asteroid hits a spaceship going 50% the speed of light, the effects are catastrophic.
ok … asteroid belt .. every one that tlk about travelling to space talk about crossing the belt but why ….i mean you are in space loll why run into asteroid when you can go around ….
@theblaquebaastid Alternate realities allow for God to exist, which he does not. There is reality, and there is fiction.
@FreeTh1nk3r so was the plane train &automobile.. your point is?
@theblaquebaastid 1 word: theoretical
forcefield capable of breaking through space-debris, comets and other objects ??
questionable ..
@AnnikaAolaniMinges True, if it’s practical. Some animals hibernate for a few months but how long could humans manage ? Years ? Decades ? Centuries ? Millenia ? Depending on how fast the ship is and how far away your destination star is, it may be that the longest we can manage without tissue damage may not be enough ( leave a vaccuum-wrapped piece of meat for 20 years in a freezer and it’ll still go bad ). Except for our immediate neighborhood, we may still need a multi-generational ship.
Why a spinning section ? Why not spin the entire ship ? The friction between the 2 sections will cause the spinner to slow down and the static section to rotate. You would waste precious fuel just to maintain this instable state. /// Also, the asteroid field is not as dense as what you see in movies. Space probes to Jupiter and beyond constantly cross it without a hitch. The rocks are several thousand miles apart. Granted, you may need a force field anyway, to protect against interstellar junk.

I’m in, where do I sign up for the 40 year journey?
