Most of you Americans wont understand the accents but see if you can stick with this till the end to see some very dark Scottish humour - genuinely interested to know if anyone finds this kind of thing funny? shocking? or even if it registers no emotional response whatsoever?

basically its about a guy getting mugged for his laptop -

Hilarious, but a bit politically incorrect for the American palate. Which is surprising, because no one gives a f*ck about anyone else over here for the most part.

maybe across the pond , but near me , the guy with the laptop was stuck , the laptop was sold , and the crook who did it robbed three other people before that got on youtube . And the robber was not even old enough to drive . White on White , really? Knife ? really ? daytime ? really? I love Hollywood , even when they talk like they have marbles in there mouths. Makes me want to buy a camera , get on a plane , go to Scotland , hang out in a park and post on treebuzz , waiting to get robbed by a white man who is out of work depressed and with a pocket knife , just to get a laugh. whats the round trip ? got to be worth it . No its not Dark comedy , it's fiction from Scotland.

Riggs, are you ok? maybe you should go take a lie down in a darkened room or something? ever thought about taking up yoga or pilates? seriously. You need to learn to relax, stop taking yourself and life so damn seriously for your own sake if not for ours.

Native Texan? any famous people have that accent? is JR Ewing's a good native Texan accent?

I've been led to believe he copied his fashion style from Riggs the famous Philly arbor barber? is there any truth in this?

nice Tom,

I take it the Rhode Island accent is similar to the Boston accent?

Hawt Cawfee?
 
no TV show ever gets TX accents. They think it's the same as southern accents. That's almost true in East TX, which is basically the South, but in West TX you get something completely different and in South TX you're really closer to Mexico than America. I have East TX relatives who sound a lot like this--i.e., like they have marbles in their mouths--and I can barely understand them, but I bet I can do better than most of you.

And, like Jimmy, I got very little of what these guys were saying. Joke was clear enough, though. I found it mildly amusing, not shocking. Some Americans would probably disagree, but I don't think it's really that different than stuff I've seen people do here.
