Chuck I am not really into the stuff like chav scum because it is unnecessarily condescending and nasty. The video is funny because it is accurate, true to life and the lyrics are the perfect representation of the way many people speak in the West of Scotland. I dont think it is overly condescending or superior either.

That's s seriously fucked up scar that guys got on his face. So What's Ned Culture up to in that video anyway? Besides enjoying what appears to be a frosty cold beverage. Is he speaking chinese?

Not being an expert on Glaswegian culture, I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

There's nothing worse than these terrible portrayals of glesga neds with the music hall timing that's been comin out of glasgow since francie and josie - another bore joins the rab c nesbitt theatre company and will soon be appearing in river city, that crappy ghost thing on bbc scotland,whatever chewin the fat are doing now,the unfunny sketch that gets shoved as a filler into only an excuse,a goverment health advert and probably panto at the kings to succeed gerard kelly in a few decades.

Did i mention taggart ?

Oh, dear. Most of this stuff's not very amusing, but maybe you have to live there to laugh.

Fascinating link, pracowity. I would never have imagined that the Eastern European variant of the chav would so closely resemble our own.

You get much sweeter sassenach satisfaction if you've got friends in Glasgow who insist the city is practically the Paris of the north these days.
Can't wait to send it on!

Particularly when they're done in the voice of Wee Jimmy Krankie like this one was.

Kids imitate to be cool, and mainly they imitate black American hip-hop city kids as seen on MTV. One skinny dork in Detroit borrows his fat friend's trousers and the next thing you know it's cool all around the world to wear jeans that are falling off your ass.

Anyone know where I can get orange flavoured Irn Bru in the states?

Earlier this year I stayed in the hotel seen in the background (to the left of the armadillo type building) throughout the video.

I'm from the dirty south, and I have to say I loved Glasgow. The people we're great, and so was the night-life. Thankfully I didn't meet anyone like this guy.

Chav is an English term, Ned is a Scottish one, but they mean the same thing.

From that wikipedia article on Dres:

# Driving their car with the left elbow resting outside the rolled-down window. This is known as the zimny łokieć (the cold elbow).
# Love of mobile phones
# Keeping of aggressive dog breeds, such as the Pit Bull or American Staffordshire Terrier as pets (dresiarze sometimes engage in dog fights).
# Habitually eating roasted chicken, Döner kebab and McDonald's.
# Violent contempt towards: students, intelligentsia, skateboarders, long haired males, vegetarians, punk rock, heavy metal, as well as Muslims and black people.
# Excessive littering.


The "cold elbow", the roasted chicken, the excessive littering. It's fucking magic.

posted by scruss at 10:36 AM on May 18, 2007


Loved that! Hilarious.

White inner city boys imitating black inner city boys, who are usually abused by racist white inner city boys has always been strange to me.

Yeah, ragged scar, kind of like a knife fight scar.

Superb transliteration PeterMcDermott. Thanks.

Also so interesting to learn about the Dres culture. It reminded me of my exbf from Montenegro, who was gaga about Sergio Tacchini tracksuits when he first came to the USA in the early 90's.

NED #1: Good day, fine sir.
NED #2: Excuse me?
NED #1: Are you, perchance, making eyes at my girlfriend?
NED #2: No.
NED #1: Why not? Are you saying that she is unattractive?

I was inebriated on some illicit substance while performing anal sex on your grandmother! (x3)
I am going to have sexual intercourse with your mother.

I don't think so, sir
I heard you tried to steal my drugs last night
Excuse me, what's going on?
You're not a very nice person and I am going to assault you
You stupid little idiot
I don't want to hurt you but I think I'm going to have to
Going to jump on your head
That will teach you a lesson for stealing my marijuana

I don't think so, sir
You'd better run away (x3)
I am going to assault you

I'm going into Glasgow to see if anybody will have sex with me
If the women aren't interested I'll drink some more Buckie
Wash it down with a couple of pills
I know those ecstasy tablets will make me feel better
Get a (??) of cannabis
When I wake up in the morning I'll probably be dead
Don't worry, he's got some money
Roll a spiff of Moroccan hash
If that doesn't work we'll get some crack
Freebase some coke and then some smack
PCP, psilocybin's the potion for me

I don't think so, sir
You'd better run away (x3)
I am going to assault you (I don't think so)

Don't give me any of your
Don't give me any of your
Don't give me any of your nonsense
(I had sex with your mother last night)

Don't give me any of your
Don't give me any of your
Don't give me any of your nonsense
(I smoked your marijuana last night)

What are you doing, you idiot??
