I've seen it before and think that is very funny and very true.

This news clip was shot in Aberdeen when Siri was launched.

In some parts of Scotland they speak the purest English to be found. 
(Inverness-shire, I've also read that there is somewhere in Canada that 
does too.) But in other parts of Scotland the dialect is next to 
incomprehensible. I once spent an afternoon with a friend's old uncle in 
Aberdeen. I could make out one word in three.
My own accent is similar to the ones in the video you posted. So if we 
ever team up in ED with voice comms, beware! :-)
Or maybe not. Scots is a Germanic language.
