Will he be invited to the Christmas party this year?

Hmmm.. Wait a minute...

Odd...

He looks like the image of Bill Gates, in my counterparts universe where McCain won the election.

Parallel universes are so freaky...

What is being said?

What is being said?

i think he's laughing at the guys funny voice

 

[Astronuc]

i think he's laughing at the guys funny voice

That was my impression. I was also wondering if there was a connection between the guy with the funny voice (transgender maybe?) and the woman in the wheel chair. Perhaps they are discussing their relationship, if there is one, or perhaps dating. (??)

 

[OAQfirst]

Digging through some of the text comments:

The guy has such a voice because his testicles were "accidentally" amputated. I don't understand how it can be funny when most of you don't understand Dutch. =/

Actually, his condition is called "Comedicus Actorus". It's a sketch from Belgian comedyshow In De Gloria, the language is Dutch (Nederlands) as spoken in Belgium (otherwise known as Flemish (Vlaams)).

If you don't watch Belgian television, this cannot be funny for you... Not even all Belgians anjoy this type of humor.. The hist is a famous actor in Belgium and the others are actors 2! It's a sketch.. The guy's voice isn't really like that.. And yes, I find it funny, but certainly not 'the funniest video in the world'. Greetz, a Belgian girl :p

thanks though. the host erik hartman is played by tom van dyck, a belgian comedian. check my favorites for more sketches from this show.

This is a Belgian show called 'In the gloria'. This is a comic group that did a series containing all these pseudo real life scetches. It was on tv for 2 seasons. How do I know this? I'm Belgian myself and I own the dvd. And yes, they ARE really funny. Even my American wife loves them.

EDIT: Found a link about it: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/4223/

And Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_De_Gloria - This article describes a failed tonsillectomy.

I think larkspur was simply showing that the video was 'billed' or 'entitled' as the world's funniest video. The rest of us, not understanding Dutch or Vlaams, are trying to understand the context and why the video is funny. Thanks for the explanation.

I think Monty Python has many more funnier videos.

I agree. Here is the imdb user comment that sheds light on the program:

This is state of the art humour that must be difficult to translate to other languages because of the multitude of cultural references it contains. Basically the show mocks TV-makers that abuse any poor soul whose behaviour is slightly out of the ordinary and who are only too willing to show off in front of the camera. It is true that Human Interest is polluting the media landscape as never before.

I agree. I guess the skit is similar to something that Monty Python would do.

It's sad that there really are programs, e.g. Gerry Springer's show (hopefully doesn't still exist, and shouldn't have in the first place) and perhaps now Dr. Phil (?) that highlight the dysfunctional people in the world. I can't even watch Oprah.

Springer I can understand, but Dr. Phil and Oprah? I don't watch their shows much, but I didn't think there was anything inappropriate. What is your perspective on those two?

 

[OmCheeto]

This article describes a failed tonsillectomy.

There's a somewhat longer version with subtitles, complete with introduction, and an epilogue where the laughing host was fired and had to get a new job because of the incident.

It's not all that much more funny, but you'll understand why he goes hysterical when the victim speaks of "Sweet Talk" and "Sex".

humanino, those are some incredible paintings, especially the one at 3:30.

BTW, I didn't realize that you're Russian.

I just really enjoyed your videos and wanted to share too. I don't know of such a good one about french art.
