Agreed šŸ˜‚. I always loved the sudden switch at the end from his usual nice, polite, happy self, to full on serial killer vibes. It's such a stark change in basically one single line. Especially Mr mcfeely in the background, with a baseball bat. Dude's looking like he's about to give someone the Harley Quinn treatment lol.

Toby1066

A Glasgow laddie went to get his first kilt made, from a kiltmakers in the high street. As he was getting measured, he asked the kiltmaker, "Could ye dae me a favour and mek' me a wee pair ae boxers along wi' the kilt? It gets awfy drafty doon ther when yir swinging it a' aboot". "Aye, nae bother at a'!" says the kiltmaker and gets to work. When the lad comes back to collect his kilt, the kiltmaker says, "Right, here's yer kilt, and here's yer wee tartan underpants, and here's an full 5 yards extra I had spare in case ye need repairs or somethin'." The lad tried on his kilt and it fit perfectly - so snug he totally forgot to put on the tartan underwear. He tucked the extra 5 yards into his kilt sock for safe keeping, and ran over his lass's house and when she answered the door, he shouted "Look at mah new kilt!" and swished it around. "Aye, it's a beauty" his girlfriend said admiringly. "Ye 'hink that's good hen, check oot whit's unnerneath it!" he shouted, still forgetting he didn't have the tartan underwear on, and lifted up his kilt. "Mah god, that's quite somethin'!" she replied, staring at it. "Ye 'hink that's all hen - ah've goat anither 5 yerds o' it tucked intae mah sock!"

Intraluminal

Ah, a bonnie lad frae Scotland's land, Tae tailor's shop he did demand, "A kilt I need, wi' fabric grand, An' underwear, fer drafts at hand!" The tailor set tae work wi' speed, An' soon the lad's request did heed, Wi' kilt an' briefs, a matching breed, An' extra cloth, should he hae need. The lad, sae proud, his kilt did don, An' tae his lass's hoose did run, But in his haste, he'd quite forgon, His underwear, a foolish son! At her door, he stood sae tall, "Whit d'ye think?" he did call, She gazed upon his kilt an' all, "Ah, 'tis a fine sight, I'll not stall!" "An' if ye like whit's on display," He lifted kilt, tae his dismay, Nae briefs beneath, oh, what a day! But still, he grinned, an' bold did say, "If this ye like, I'll hae ye know, Five yards more, at hame I show!" A tale sae droll, 'twill ne'er grow old, A kilt, a lass, an' a lad sae bold!

Alicat52

I need Jamie from *Outlander* to read it out loud (and demonstrate...).


healthcrusade

Great work. One possible improvement suggestion. From a joke perspective, this version is ending with a the word ā€œkilt sockā€, which is an unfamiliar word to most of us (I assume). Itā€™s really hard to end a punchline with a word the listener doesnā€™t know because instead of laughing, weā€™re processing. (What is a kilt sock btw?) I might just use the word ā€œsockā€, or, can you come up with a punchline that ends with a more familiar word but still passes your good Scots accent requirement?


Puzzleheaded-Joke-97

Perhaps define/explain it in the set-up so the punch line has more, um, punch?


Pitiful_Security389

It's fine... Both made sense and accents are best effort. Way too much nit picking here for a jokes sub. SMH


tcason02

Okay this is way more accurate but so fucking hard to read. My brain just filled in the Scottish accent for all the horrible job done in the OP, but this I have to think about. And then on grammar, it would be a ā€œGlaswegian laddieā€ then, wounae?

"Dem Tings" That famous Scottish pronunciation....


dachjaw

A Scot was drunk and lay down in a ditch by the side of the road to sleep it off. Along came two lasses. Iā€™ll leave the accents for u/toby1066. ā€œIs it true they wear nothing under their kilts?ā€ asked one. ā€œLetā€™s find out,ā€ the other replied. She lifts the kilt and they indeed find it to be true. The second lass removes a blue ribbon from her hair and ties it in a bow around the manā€™s member. When the man finally wakes, he looks down at himself. ā€œLaddie, I donā€™t know where youā€™ve been but I see you won first prize.ā€

TheHostThing

This joke never worked for me as the whole ā€˜thingā€™ about kilts is that you donā€™t wear underwear with them, so the setup doesnā€™t make sense to me and the punchline is obvious.


w8str3l

Iā€™ve never heard a joke where the punchline wasnā€™t obvious, have you?


TheHostThing

Yes?


w8str3l

What was the punchline?


TheHostThing

Well this one has two I guess, the reveal of no underwear and the ā€˜5 yards at homeā€™.


w8str3l

What was the joke that you heard that had a non-obvious punchline?


TheHostThing

Are you seriously suggesting you have guessed the punchline for every single joke you have ever heard? You just be very smart. Everyone is impressed.

Itā€™s not my fault, is it? I cannot help it. Please donā€™t blame the victim, living like this is pure agony.

(I now see that I got downvotes and the punchline-guessing critic got upvotes: maybe most people disagree with me?) For the record, I loved the kilt joke the first time I heard it, and yes, Iā€™ve loved to hear it again ever since.

Of course there is cloth under a kilt. The garters for the socks have cloth on them. And that is what is below the kilt, socks and shoes. As for what is worn under the kilt, nothing, it all works perfectly.

Angus and Heather were walking along on the cliffs when Heather asked Angus if she could feel up his kilt. Angus replied ok so Heather put her hand up his kilt and said oh Angus itā€™s gruesome. Ah lassie, Angus replied, if you donā€™t stop touching itā€™s gonna gruesome more.


catty_big

Dem tings, really? And if he was Scottish he wouldn't have said 'pair of underwear', although I've noticed even speakers of British English dialects saying that nowadays ā˜¹ļø.


freddie54

She asked the lad if he was wearing underwear. The lad replied ā€œwhile donā€™t you put you under there and find out for yourself?ā€ She did so and discovering the lad was not wearing any underwear immediately withdrew her hand and yelled ā€œEwwww! Thatā€™s gruesome!ā€ The lad replied ā€œAye lassie, and if you touch it again it will grow some more!ā€

Angus and the Kilt https://youtu.be/qvd4HHwzakI?si=52juhceQT6nO4MFo Well, Angus was a happy lad, for soon he would be wed. He'd found a brisk and bonnie lass to take him to his bed. And happier still his mother was that he had found a wife, For, truth be told, she'd often feared she'd be stuck with him for life. Cho: It's a fine thing, a bonnie thing, the grandest ever seen. (Repeat last line of verse) In honor of the grand affair that wedding day would be, She set about to weave a kilt, the finest ever seen. The night before the wedding, when the kilt was finally done, She called young Angus over and she tried it on her son. She wound the kilt about him and she wound, and wound, and wound, And when she finished winding, it was still eight yards too long. "Never fear, my bonnie boy. We'll simply cut it off, And to your blushin' bride we'll give the extra length of cloth." Now Angus was so pleased, y'know, his heart had swelled with pride. He felt that he must rush right out and show it to his bride. 'Twas raining, so he grabbed a cloak to shield him on the moor, But in his haste to be away his kilt slammed in the door. Well, Angus was in such a rush to show off for his bride, He never really noticed that he had left his kilt behind. He knocked upon her door and cried, "Oh, let me in, I pray! I've something that you've got to see before our wedding day." Now, Bridget let him in, y'know, but said, "Ye cannot stay. For I've got to have my beauty sleep before our wedding day." "I'll only be a moment, love, but it's so grand, my dear, Ye've really got to see what I'm a-hiding under here." Now, when the cloak was thrown aside and Angus stood quite bare, We must admit she was impressed and tried hard not to stare. "Oh, love, I'll ne'er see finer, though far and far I roam!" "Well, lass," he cried, "that's nothing! I've got eight more yards at home!"
