*Mike Myers trying to stop laughing and shaking his head*

@@crankfotton you fuckin know it

DERIVATIVE!

As soon as I read this, this played in the vid lol

The show isn’t what is used to be

MNDHFilms and then he transformed into a Scottish ogre

International man of mystery

But he'd have to travel back in time to do that.

spy? lol

Vinny is also Mini-Me.

5 years later and just curious what your perspective is? Lol

But also, I do agree with that assessment lol. A British kid came to my school in the US in 8th grade and we were pals. It was a big school with bullies n stuff and he was kinda timid but kinda a smartass lol. Good times. That would’ve been around 1996-97 Not that ya asked 😂

It was a real tv show. It was called ‘Simon in the land of chalk drawings’

He always had such amazing UK accents and clearly had exposure to the culture growing up. He was just emulating his parents for his various roles and characters!

I was born in 1982, and I remember seeing odd British shows on PBS. Just different, I mean. You could just tell in the details.

Yup! I remember this as well.

it's a spoof of Simon you must of watch penwhell those where great shows

Great catch! i didn't put those two together until now.

Yeah, check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5qIotqF17-7ioE.html

It was briefly a part of Captain Kangaroo, too.

SAME. Except April 15.2021 lol

@@nichellel8607 well that proves it, great minds think alike😄

Nothing has changed

Danny DeVito, he’s short, but he’s sweeto

Wat do u mean back then havnt u seen him in Always sunny wen he claims out of the couch but ass. In the Xmas episode. Im sure the girls today wudnt mind having a 3 nite stand with him.

A consistently beautiful and perfect man, since 1944. A dreamboat.

@Tiff Bannen lmao give me his numberrr..i bet it has 6969 in it 😏

How it's actually pronounced in Britain.

This is sadly accurate. If the word has an "aw" in it, a common Brit will introduce an invisible 'R' after it.

Years ago, I read somewhere that the American accent is less changed from how English used to be at the time of the colonisation of the Americas, than the modern English accent. You can sort of see how much better it is at expressing the spelling when you hear words like "drawing" and "world". In my previous comment, I should have really said "England" as opposed to "Britain" because a lot of Scottish and Irish accents don't have this problem. Apparently it came into fashion amongst the English upper class to distinguish themselves from less wealthy people by affecting an accent more like the ones you hear today. Not sure how true any of this is, but I did read it in a book, and not on my facebook wall or anything, for what that's worth. And putting on fake accent because it's fashionable is still common here today; just look at the grime scene. Good old snobbery.

Jesus. “Sadly accurate.” Lmao. Most of us happen to like American accents for what it’s worth, we find them interesting and attractive. Most British people do not have the accent that you associate with them - its only a very small amount of people in the south. It’s either this one or the cockney one that Americans are familiar with. It represents such a small part of our population. We are a lot bigger than London. You certainly wouldn’t like the rest of them if you don’t like those. But you just keep putting others down based on how they speak English so you can all feel better about yourselves for one minute of your life 😂

In my head I always say “draw-rings” and crack up... I couldn’t remember where I got it from till I saw this

Jay's Artwork I would sing this song to myself and could not remember where I got it from. That’s just how I felt, like, found it!!

aw that’s nice

Simon snl

Mommy and daddy were busy... Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲 AMEN ☦️🙏😇❤️💋

Nicholas Whitman OMG YES!!!

They did, it was called Austin Powers 3. 'Hey, I'm mini me! Come and get me!'

Danny Devito was in Goldmember for a scene.

@@Jewbeep I mean where they actual see each other and act aside each other excluding that movie he could be the replacement mini me

@@MrParkerman6 that was literally the beginning

This was funny in the early 90s, I saw it around the time I was a sophmore in highschool

Children are super funny

Totally accurate. British people always introduce an unnecessary 'R' between "aw" and "ing".

Inbrains yep

InBrains Depends. How old is this skit?

lindsey krontz in the description it said it's from 1993

No, Austin Powers is based on 1960's British Radio DJ's such as Simon Dee and Tony Blackburn who had upbeat Transatlantic accents. Along with Fashion Photographers, like David Bailey.

& Shrek

Actually we pronounce it Ori-Garno

I would prefer Myers, but...fair enough! :D

Same.

Nah I wanna be in the bath with Mike

You are correct.

Oh, yeah. Drawer-ings.

@@TralfazConstruction 😂😂😂 YES EXACTLY 😂😂😂

@@jsanders2610 As much of a kick as I got from it, my wife _really_ liked to run with it. Good times!

"I'm old" -you

Baron Von Grijffenbourg Not really. They just give nothing but repetitive political skits anymore. We need these types again.

People were saying the same thing about the original 1970's cast back then. One thing that never changes is people bitching about SNL sucking now compared to the past.

@@user1138 Great comment

Well it does suck

@@graciegj63 Do you watch the show? They still do a lot of non-political sketches.

It's his English accent

Somehow it's become acceptable if the targets are white. I guess it's b/c we're tougher and can take it.

Anonymous That's kinda racist.

That's not a racial slur. But it is a slur about the British, and Mike Myers is Canadian, not British, by birth.

Limey?

That’s funny shit!!! Haha

They all are on the SNL web site.

N-tox WHHHAAAAT!!! NO WAY!

You tub looker!

Frenaza third

His dad was British ;)

Meyers WAS the narrator. Go back and listen again.

Gabriela Piechowicz Mike Myers father is British

@@emilymorgan5495 Both his parents. And Myers lived and worked in the UK for a number of years.

Chris Farley was hilarious!! He's someone we all miss

OMG! It appears this is inspired from that show. That’s cool.

Mike is Canadian and we did indeed watch that boring show in Canada when I was a kid. I still remember the real lyrics by heart for some strange, musically magical reason. The first time I saw this sketch, I laughed because I knew exactly where the theme came from, and no doubt, so did Mike. The Austin powers theme is also from a Canadian game show, called 'Definition' that played right before the Flintstones at lunch time.

@@moleqle Wow, cool. Thanks for the info! I watched the reruns in the 80's as a kid on Nickelodeon here in the States.
