I never appreciated this when I was a kid. Rab is a legend. Comedy of pain and defeat.

My dad could never bring himself to watch Rab C. His own dad not only sounded exactly like him, but looked the same too - even down the wearing a vest, lol

I think that's what makes Scottish comedy so easily accessable/approachable. It kinna holds a mirror up to the audience and says "This is who we are".

Still absolutely hilarious until this day what a legend 🤣

'wi' yer haircut & yer O-level' ... God, I love Rab.

"aw well fair enuff fair enuff mibies i'll take a wee slug noo and again a wee drink mibies i'll faw doon n mibi i'll stand back up again n mibi i'll chib some bastard" genius

@manicmacintosh It's Scots-English in a Glaswegian accent which probably makes it even harder for anyone outside Scotland to understand. yet we in Scotland manage to understand Cockneys, New Yorkers, Gordies, Texans, Scousers, Dubliners etc etc.

"sign this Nesbitt" and "dont brek the pens" Comedy Gold

I find this dead easy to understand, and i'm only 14,and i've spent half my life in France. Rab C. Nesbitt, Chewin' the Fat and Still Game are three of the funniest shows i've ever seen. (Maybe I can understand this well because my dad speaks Scots)

Amazing, a sketch from likes of Naked video, and Chewin the fat, goes well with these characters, but they spawn something even better likes of Rab C Nesbitt, and Still Game, those two series took the decade's of the early 90s, 2000s and even right up till the end of the 2010s, by storm, loved them and still do!

The first rabs on telly were comedy gold, I am 100% scottish and it's clear as day what he is saying, i think there some what up above themselves in England and especially the south.

lmao Rab is a legend can't wait for the christmas special

I wish they showed this again

guy in the back trying not to laugh

"See you, with your haircut and your one "O" level." LOL

Absolutely hilarious what a legend 😂

Love it absolutely brilliant.

i understood 5% of that

Love Rab C Got Aww His Dvds

See you Rab,see you,aye ya ma hero Rab so yar!

Saint giros day upfrount .. Rab is a legend !

"I will take the blows, I will take the blows, and I'll do it My Way, (slams hand on table) My Way!" @

Rab for scottish first minister, makes more sense than the ayatollah of edinburgh.

Genius

I bet if Rab had a rant at Ian Duncen Smith the welfare reforms would be abolished!

Yes, the last line of I Did It My Way, repeated.

"You sit there with your haircut and o levels" 😄 🤣

Absolutely Brilliant 🤣🤣👍

Absolutely brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👍

He may have well stayed sat down for all of that!! Lol

Oh hahaha! I love it!!!

Top man, well said there ye wee gallus man!

@alecahauf Um, for English people I think it is more difficult to understand than Scouse, West Country or even Geordie. I suppose it all depends where you're from and what you're familiar with. I've seen Americans saying they sometimes have trouble with what the characters are saying in The Office.

just enjoy!

I don't drink, i don't drink. I mean fair enough, maybe i take a wee slug now and then, and wee drink and maybe i'll falls doon and maybe i'll stand back up and chim sem barstard

Add more of rab

Turn on subtitles

Ye, ye, see this there Rab C? Ah have tae say that he speaks faw the common mahn.

Never before have subtitles been so necessary.

Rab C Nesbitt is my father.

which series and episode is this from its absolut belting!

@markfoybhoy the cheque bounced

I understand this and im from devon .

hope so too, good luck snazzy.

@bugstrut I am not comparing, what i am saying is like many people form England do not understand much of the Glasgow accent just as people from Glasgow or Aberdeen like find it hard to understand the Scouse or Geordie language. Not that far from us in Glasgow is places like Fife where they say ken instead of know. when i was young i thought almost everyone in Fife was called Ken. In Dundee if u ask for a loaf you get two, ask for half a loaf and a bottle of Lemonade, they ask you what flavour

WE ALL THERE NOW HA HA !!!

@Cybopath Have you ever heard a Glaswegian accent? Rab C isn't even speaking in a Glaswegian accent here. This is TV Glaswegian. Softened, with words pronounced properly so it can be shown in other areas and not just Glasgow. Also, you can't know for certain how an accent will develop just because certain peoples go to a place. I might be right, I might be wrong. I'm also a musican, I have no trouble whatsoever understanding accents. I listen to and differentiate between sounds and tones often

I will take the blows boy, and I will do it MY WAYYYYYYY

Turn on Transcribe Audio, its completely insane.

I understand that!

This is sooo much better than Limmy's show!

@Cybopath I never said Glaswegians sound Spanish or German. So I'll stop commenting as you aren't keeping up with the conversation.

Who is the bloke behind the desk? His face looks so familiar from the 80s!

@childofthesun32 I have heard a Glaswegian accent pal, I have lived in Glasgow, I have worked with Glaswegians and I do have Glaswegian and west coast family and they don't sound german or spannish. This (People from all over the world) theory you have is pretty thin Considering London and other English cities have had far greater immigration. Glaswegian and the whole west coast is a lowland Scottish accent with a slight influence from Irish immigration at best.

Eu quero muito aprender... Moro numa chácara

I think I understood one word

@Cybopath I mean that I think that years ago peoples from all over the world would come to Glasgow and try to speak English with their different accents and the Glaswegian accent was born out of this combination of all these accents mixing together. I've heard Spanish people and German people talking and thought they were Glaswegian and it's not until I actually hear German words or whatever that I realise they aren't.

ok so i was a bit late but hey I was born in glasgow wooo go glasgow, u ever see the episodesabout that english snob lady and hugh/shug, shes in a few including first series

@alecahauf Most from scotland would find it easier to understand scouse or geordie better than most of the south

@sezwheelz Aye, go to Billy connolly Glasgow accents nine and a half guitars on KZfaq and it will give you a wee idea about the Glasgow accent. Some people think that when we say Mullguy it is the Glasgow way to say it but although the town is spelt Minlgavie it is rightly pronounced Millguy.

Thanks bud

@Williamwallace0 Yes, most likely. All i'm trying say is that most UK accents are difficult to understand in various parts of the country whilst others present no problems. It depends where you are from. I.E. Pakistani's who speak in bad English accents to each other canm easily understand each other but if they speak to us they have a problem understanding and we them, if that makes any sense

Did he start singing in the middle of that?

Whats so hard about the last sentence? i heard it first time! its can see yer way clear tae len me 23 pence for my bus fare hame

@tremart93 Yes. And as someone who signed on a couple of times, and it was less shitty than that.... I can understand exactly how shitty he felt :p

@childofthesun32 If that where the case Every port city in the USA would have a Glaswegian accent. The Glasgow accent is just a far west accent you can hear the west accent kick in at Livingston and it doesn't stop till ayrshire. If you thought German or Spannish people where glaswegian or had anything to do with influening the Glaswegian accent you have trouble with understanding accents. The only country that could possibly have an influence on the west coast accent is Ireland.

the dole is the worst feelin ever u ly bout an get fat just an have fck all money half the time most hateful an depressing thing ever! i,m jst hoping i never have 2 do it again

@graemeoliver84 It's not any more difficult i suppose than understanding scouse, Geordie or West Country or that but as i am Glasweigian i have no bother with it.

@alecahauf I'm afraid it disnay mek ane sense atel, widjie hafte say "bad" its jest d'ffrent mon.

Were do I buy his whole series

Vote Yes.

mate. Funnily enough, if you haven't grown up listening to a certain accent then it's tricky to understand it. Especially if you don't hear it much. You don't hear strong accents much cus most people don't understand them.. that's just how it works. and dont tell me you can understand every regional slang in England cus i know i can't. You say things like 'wallaper'.. but that's not accent that's just using different words. ALSO i think davidmaxwaterman thingy meant his comment light heartedly.

@obmat22 You're talking socio-politics on a Rab C Nesbitt video?

Needs English subtitles

@daveedo20 My arse i have lived in Glasgow all my life and i assure you you would need to look really hard to find even a few people who even resembled this.

Mr Gerbils revenge is spawned by am Hamster by the look of him LOL!

@vulcan1981 could you see yer way clear to lending me 23p for ma busfare hame?

Love it!!!! W hen he said I might chib some b!@stard

So funny

hahahaha da man is a fuckin legend

Donald Trump's debate coach

he is in river city noo

@Cybopath I think that's a combination of the Glaswegian accent being kind of made up of sounds from all different accents around the world - so we have experience with those sounds...... And of course TV.... TV shows always have Cockneys, New Yorkers, Geordies, Texans, Scousers, Dubliners etc...... So we hear them all the time.... How often do other places hear a Glaswegian in a TV Show.... Even today with pish like River City... It's still a heavily softened fake Glaswegian.

@vulcan1981 could you see you way clear to lending me 23 pence

@Ryctophaze94 lmfao awesome!

@RarianRakista It's useless. I tried it on a video of the Queen's speech and it couldn't even get that right.

hame

See yee by the way

23 pence for bus fare? wish it was that cheap now

what is talking about hahahaha

Andy Gray that plays the dole fella is the most arrogiant actor ave ever worked with as I worked on Rab C and The Baldy Man if Andy doesn't get his way he throws his teddy out of his pram Gergor on the other hand is brand new

does anyone actually know what he was saying?

@vulcan1981 .....lend=loan....can you loan me 23p for bus fare home,with no hope of getting it back.

I always wondered if part of the humour of Rab C. Nesbitt was that it was supposed to be difficult to fully understand him. I mean this show was made to be broadcast to the whole of the UK so weren't even southerners part of the intended audience? I can understand about 80% of what he'saying (I definetely get the gist of it although I don't understand some words) but I do have to concentrate. But he's a ranting boozer, is it wrong to say he doesn't speak clearly (it's not just dialect, is it)?
