It was Mike i believe. He did an entire recording of the movie with a more canadian/american accent and he said he thought scottish would suit him better and redid it.
That's what I think of when I say mullet. I love that look. It's not the Joe Dirt type mullet that no one ever actually had. Or those stupid ones where it's really short on top
Scot here: - and I'd like to say this is a grotesque representation of my proud people. Only 50% of Scots are like this -- well maybe 60% -- no more than 75% -- tops 80%. 85% - maybe. Never more than 90 -- 5.
@@nellgwenn Oh I know about that movie and I love it :) At the end of my comment I put a "/s" and that means I was being sarcastic. I know Mike Myers use his Scottish accent in tons of TV shows and movies. "He'll be cryin' himself to sleep tonight on his huge pillow." 😄
"Glasgow Times New York Correspondent" So they said he works for the Glasgow Times in their New York office, not that he was from Glasgow Yes I'm nitpicking.
Actually...it's the SAME character....just older, in the sketches. Funny enough...although I'm not sure i'd call it "quite popular". They only did "All Things Scottish" twice in Myers' seven seasons...and then Rankin appeared once more when Patrick Stewart hosted. Probably just the right amount...they need not have run EVERY recurring character into the ground...
He gets his love of accents from his da. His da would get the whole family to adopt an accent while out in public for a lark. A real gentleman jokester!
Does anyone remember the sketch where mike Myers is with a group of people in a social setting and he keeps trying to make jokes that fail. Then he goes in the bathroom and goes back in time and all the jokes work because of better timing?
@@raheemhamilton8624 which would only last two months...until Ben Stiller joined. Interestingly, at almost 26 for his SNL debut, Myers isn't doesn't even crack the top TEN for youngest CMs. Stiller slides in there around 9...just ahead of Melanie Hutsell and Laraine Newman...
Have none of the commenters here ever heard of the actual Scottish guy named Stuart that he played in So I Married An Axe Murderer? It came out right after this, I’m pretty sure… 🤔
I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back ribs. I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back ribs. CHILI BABY BACK RIBS!
I wonder how many have seen the movie referred to, *Local Hero.* It's an unassuming little film, in which a young oil company go-getter (Peter Riegert) is dispatched by his eccentric boss (Burt Lancaster) to a small Scottish fishing village to procure the residents' land for a North Sea oil refinery. The reception, and his transformation, are not what is expected. The final scene of him arriving home to his deluxe apartment in Houston, looking down on on the crowded freeway at evening rush, is little short of wrenching, and I'll say no more. Funny, silly, and heartfelt, it's worth a look.
@@thepopeofchilitown9143 LOL...nice call, Pope. Yep....in the "We are the World"-esque "Rock for Michael" - Myers and Norm MacDonald played The Proclaimers -Charlie and Craig Reid. Not as funny as "Musicians for Free-Range Chickens"....but pretty good.
Is Mike Myers doin a Scottish accent??? Totally never heard Mike Myers doing a Scottish accent before. I hope to hear Mike Myers do more Scottish accents. Maybe he could do a Scottish accent in a movie about Queen, or one of the Austin Powers movies, or as a store clerk on SNL complaining about things that aren’t Scottish. Because I’ve never heard Mike Myers do a Scottish accent.
Me too. I remember men with hairstyles like that was so common nobody batted an eyelid. Today, people watch this video and say, "Look at that dude's hair!"
If it had been after Braveheart, Mike would have ripped it. I once knew a Scottish women who had a whole list of grievances with that movie. She would end it with, "And he didn't shag the Queen!"
I truly love how accurate Mike Myers spoke in Scottish and shouting almost like Shrek!🤣😂
I'm from Glasgow and I love whenever mike Myers does the accent.Esp with Chris walken..if its no Scottish its crap.Bought that t shirt few years ago 😉
That's enough out of you, you bloody wench! Ah, I din'ta mean it, you wee lass, I love ya.
And Chris walken's mam was actually Scottish wasn't she
As a yank I have to ask, does his accent really sound authentic? I thought it was sterotype but hey, I really don't know.
If you can understand a word of it , its not?
Don't forget so I married an Axe murder. As scottish day
Myers has gotten a lot of mileage out of that Scottish accent. Used it his whole career.
Very true, he is good though, a lot of talent there.
Fat Bastard and Shrek
Don't forget Charlie MacKenzie's father.
His father was from Scotland.
@@4z94 eeeeeevil! Like the froooo-its of the devil!
Mike was on a roll. He is a genius. Love him
Or was Mike on a “Troll”😜
Whoever gave Shrek a Scottish accent is a genius
It was Mike i believe. He did an entire recording of the movie with a more canadian/american accent and he said he thought scottish would suit him better and redid it.
@@nostalgiatrip7331 Mike was the replacement Shrek. It was supposed to be Chris Farley, but he died before it was finished.

All I hear is SHREK hehehe
Gen Thorpe he is the actor for shrek
I hear Shrek and the fat bastard from Austin Powers
Well he put him in shrek so bad now he....
Fat Bastard!
I hear Charlie’s father from axe murderer
dennis' hair is amazing! also, i always love mike's accents, it never gets old
Looks just like a young Lethal Weapon Mel Gibson.
Dennis is wearing a "rug"

Depends on how much they've had to drink
hic...
It's good to see that Shrek made a career for himself
Mike was so hilarious. Snl needs more gifted comedian's.
i fell asleep with the audience a good minute into that skit. dont know how i lasted that long.
The Aberdeen Razorbacks...LOL
Anyone else think Mike Myers looks like Ewan McGregor here? XD
truth!
+Madame Ant
Yes
Dose he fuk
Gary Oldman I thought.
i thought that too
Myers is so underrated, deserves more recognition.
Austin Powers, Wayne’s World, Shrek are universally revered
He’s not underrated. He’s a legend. Austin powers movies were massive hits that everyone loved and was quoting when I was coming up.
@@justinhopper5941people talk about his characters, but not HIM. and since he took a long break to be a father, not many people talk about him.
Damn, he was great.
So I Married an Axe Murderer is a really good movie.
Nice shout-out to Sir Jackie Stewart!🏴
And the late Chris Economakie
Mike Myers does a pretty good Scottish accent. I wonder why he didn't use it on anything else he did /s
HMMM... I wonder 🧐 LOLLLLLL 😂
There's a green ogre you should get acquainted with.
Check out the movie So I Married An Ax Murderer.

@@JockoV I thought that might be snark after I posted the comment. I'm not used to seeing the snark tag on UA-cam comments.
Its so sweet when the young ones are just finding out mike myers used to be on snl.😂
Makes me think of the skit where he ran the store that had everything Scottish.
If it isn't Scottish it's CRAP!!!🤣
Wait...what??? Ummm...it's the same character - just older.
I'm mean, for generic Scottish, its a good accent. But they mentioned he was from Glasgow at the beginning. Ever been there? very different.
sounds lit willie fay the simpsons.
"Glasgow Times New York Correspondent"
So they said he works for the Glasgow Times in their New York office, not that he was from Glasgow
Yes I'm nitpicking.
@@The1stImmortal It's the mispronunciation of Glasgow that's more of an issue - it's Glasgo............silent W.......and does noT rhyme with NOW !!!
One of my sisters lives in Glasgow, actually.😊🏴
@@maconescotland8996I'm Scatch, my grandad was from glass-gaw scahtland. Edinberg castle is the best.
Mike Myers' character Stuart Rankin sounded like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers and Shrek, he would later do them both.
Also for a character running a Scottish store on SNL and then playing his father in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" before both of those other movies.
@@cvn6555 Those are BOTH Stuart again...just older. In the movie, his last name is Mackenzie instead of Rankin.
i like listening to shrek
He sounds more like someone from Edinburgh, not Glasgow
Sounds more like Toronto tae me pal.
Aye lassie... lol
@C.J McDairmant Its only stated he worked at glasgow times in new york office. Not that he lived in glasgow. He sounds more like Iverness accent.
@@Cybopath Scarborough to be precise
yea that definitely Edinburgh
His side kick is a very good actor , he didn’t even look like he was acting, so natural
All I hear is his singing Rod Stewart song at the wedding in So I Married an Axe Murderer.
Mike Meyers truly a brilliant artist. We love you!!! ( that white crotch shot was a tidy classic!)
I think you are seeing too much crotch. there was no such thing in this sketch.
Well he's gifted with it and I never grow tired of hearing it, fat bastard is one of his best characters in my opinion lmfao
1:07 Go Aberdeen! From an Aberdonian
Linn Dosher Yay mon the dons!
Aiberdeen min!
Aberdeen Aberdeen? Or one of the umpteen Aberdeens in the US?
Close your eyes and it's Shrek!
Without Sean Connery there is no Shrek, and no Austin Powers. May he drink whisky with angels.
Michael Caine = Austin Powers. Check out his movies...
Oh, angels are drinking whiskey? No wonder people who pray are screwing everything up down here.
@@ryankibler7973No wonder we are all dying to get off this planet!
Shrek 🤣
And this evolved in to, ‘if it’s not Scottish, it’s CRAP!’.. ;-)
The origin for the character and sketch, All Things Scottish, which was quite popular on Saturday Night Live.
Actually...it's the SAME character....just older, in the sketches. Funny enough...although I'm not sure i'd call it "quite popular". They only did "All Things Scottish" twice in Myers' seven seasons...and then Rankin appeared once more when Patrick Stewart hosted.

All before Myers would use that same character in "All Things Scottish", too. xD

Hmmm... more edinburgh I’d say, Dundee is deeper

Yeah...pretty sure everybody here knows about him....same name....basically the same character. But more like 4 years after this WU segment...
Dennis Miller looks like a young Jamie Gertz
and Jamie Gertz looks like a young Eleanor Roosevely
I believe Dennis Miller is Scottish-American. I think he mentioned it once.
shoulda skulled a pint between the rant and 'I love you'
I don't even know what he's talking about because I'm 21.. but this is still hilarious
No one got it then either.

This is what young Shrek sounded like
I’m Mexican & I love the Scottish accent a lot
That's how Shrek's voice was born
Mike Meyers is so under-rated. He's multi talented. His Scottish accent is pretty damn good.
He would be perfect for a dwarf from a middle earth franchise
MICHAAAEEEL!! WOOT WOOT! 🎉
Wow this guy's accent is great he should voice act for this movie about ogres.
That one guy who got the joke and yelled “bravo!”
Shrek sounds better Scottish than he does Canadian
He's basically Shrek except Shrek is now a news reporter
Shrek looks really weird in this video
I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back ribs. I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back ribs. CHILI BABY BACK RIBS!
Fun fact: he used this accent in shrek
First he used it “so I married an axe murderer”

Because when you say unfunny things in a Scottish accent they become funny. I guess.
