If he is scottish then why..
1. Is his surname Irish
2. Does Shia say he is from the country Ireland
3. Does his teacher say he is from Ireland

Mike himself said he was Scottish, perhaps meaning he came from Scotland but his heritage is Irish, or vice versa.
Perhaps his Father is Irish and he grew up in Scotland.
i don't like quentint tarantula because his page takes too long to scroll through.share
The joke is that the American's are not familiar with his accent, which is why they keep thinking and saying that he is Irish. He IS Scottish.
shareOP I didn't understand it either and thanks owyn-davies for clearing that up.

does everyone really believe that everyone from Scotland is called MacGregor or Wallace. Huge Irish immigration and also many Patels, Khans, Chans - Yikes!

Mac- names tend to be scotish. Mc- names tend to be irish. all O'- names are irish.
names ending in "-ghy", "-han", and "-gan" are irish.
names ending in "-kirk", "-den" and "ess" are scottish.
ok whatever the case the teacher introduces him as someone from ireland because he just figures thats where he's from due to his accent. Mike then corrects him. as Mike also corrects Dito on the train even though dito then goes home and talks about his irish frien from school. its a bit of a running joke
Evil must be punished. Even in the face of armageddon I will not compromise in this.
Another level to the joke is that the original, real-life character, was actually Irish, and known as Irish Mike.
shareO'Shea sounds like a more stereotypical Irish surname, and Mike first introduces himself as 'Mick', which is a common nickname for Michael in Ireland. The joke is that the locals can't tell the difference between Irish and Scottish - even though Mike's accent is clearly Scottish.
