I saw this commercial on TV in the States, and I literally laughed out loud a bit. I didn't see it on here. Enjoy:

That's what's claimed. Too bad. He was a good character actor in those commercials. |

Doesn't seem like a copy to me. Its a commonly used Scottish stereotype (like Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons). |

The general idea is a copy. "Let's throw in an obnoxious Scottish man in our ad to sell a product."
Probably some adman was sitting around watching this

Mike Myers who did maybe the first ever funny mad Scottish guy on SNL. |
