IT is regarded by many as an uncompromising accent guaranteed to wipe the smile from your face. Now it's official.
Despite the best efforts of Stanley Baxter's Parliamo Glasgow, the accent has been deemed one of the least comical throughout Britain.
Research from Aberdeen University has ranked Glaswegian the third least amusing accent, putting it ahead of only the Mancunian burr and "received pronunciation".
A team of experts spent two months studying how regional accents influence how funny a person appears. The Brummie accent, closely associated with comedians Frank Skinner, Jasper Carrott and Lenny Henry, came top.
Second was the Liverpudlian Scouse twang, as used by Paul O'Grady, with the Newcastle Geordie accent, synonymous with television presenters Ant and Dec, taking third place.
They were followed by the Welsh, Yorkshire, Cockney, Belfast, and south-west England accents.
Researchers asked 4000 people to listen to the same joke in 11 UK regional accents to discover which they found most amusing. Glasgow polled just 3.4%.
The test joke, chosen to reflect traditional British stand-up comedy, demanded no notion of cleverness on the part of the teller; instead, the listener's concentration was focused on the lilt of the words themselves.
Glasgow however, takes the last laugh. The research found that the funniest accents were also deemed the least intelligent.

Not enough Jocks in the audience

Where have all the jocks gone,long time in passing.we seek them here,but they are in the pub getting p###ed

Arrh me Bill Connelly, now there's a man that doesn't mind getting his kit off.

Im up in Scotland for the week and heard about this research on the news on the radio (the news, for god sake)

All I can say is "who gives a flying fark". This information and I use the term loosely, is no use to man or beast.

Wonder how much this research cost to conduct.........

Probably the same as the research into cow's mooing in regional accents....
