You tube videos - accents

Here are the links for the two youtube videos we saw in class today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FFRoYhTJQQ&feature=player_embedded  - the Scottish elevator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m-y-qAbpL0&feature=player_embedded - the "Newfie" commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=dABo_DCIdpM - here is the one we didn't watch in class with the guy doing different English accents - PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT THIS CONTAINS A LOT OF BAD LANGUAGE

Again, if anyone would like to watch any video of the Canadian comedian we talked about in class, his name is Russell Peters.
