In an earlier interview, Bored Panda spoke with one of the moderators, Reddit user Veloglasgow from r/ScottishPeopleTwitter, to get to know the content on their subreddit better. "Scots generally have a dark, dry, and direct sense of humor," they said. "Observational comedy where someone points out something that everyone accepts as day-to-day reality but which would be absurd to an outside observer also goes down well."

"Most posts that make it through the mod queue are representative, any posts that use 'fooken' or 'fecking' for fu*ken/fu*king are generally removed as no Scot hears how we say those words as that way phonetically," the moderator explained.

Larry Dean, a Scottish stand-up comedian, believes that defining “Scottish” comedy is a really tough question. “First off, there’s the assumption that a nationally shared sense of humor exists at all,” he said and added “Is it really possible for five million people to make the same kind of jokes and find the same things funny?”

Larry continued: “if there’s one thing we Scottish like to laugh at, it’s ourselves. Which is useful when facing internationally reinforced caricatures every time we turn on the telly. (Think of Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons.)”

Moreover, “Being from the nation that’s credited with the invention of the deep-fried whatever, the man-skirt, and bad weather, I’d say we’re pretty good at taking a joke.”

Having said that, the comedian argues that the English have quite a similar sense of humor. “Many of my English friends are able to join me in a silly natter and I can’t recall ever withholding a joke because it was 'too Scottish,' or not getting one because it was 'too English.' There are hundreds of English comics and non-comics I adore for their own, inimitable styles of humor,” he explained.

Plus, Larry believes that the “Scottish accent always seems to add a certain special something when placed amidst an otherwise English cast. Perhaps it’s a question of contrast: the ability of a distinctive voice to cut through the noise, to the chase, and tell it like it is,” he wondered.

Visited Scotland in May few years ago. Had to buy me some thermal leggings to wear under my jeans in Edinburgh because it was so cold. Stepped out of the shop - it was a cold but sunny day - and saw several girls in tanktops and mini skirts. I wore jeans, sweatshirt, jacket and a scarf. Easily to be spotted as the tourist.
