The premise
Here’s the bit.
Two men enter a lift with voice controls and find that it cannot understand their Scottish accents. Repeating their destination, trying other accents and raising their voices only produces more automated instructions. As frustration turns into a battle of wills, the pair improvise an escape attempt that makes the eventual arrival of other passengers especially awkward.

Highly quotable.
They don't do Scottish accents.
Where in America is that? Dublin?
A little extra
