On this last bit, I thought of our friend maggit, and his efforts to create a translation to his native tongue for this game. No offense taken, I hope! :grin: Agetian (the lawyer/linguist) might also see the humor in this, as we often are visited by many non-english speaking gamers we have to try and explain things to without always having an exact understanding.

 

thats pretty damn funny

 

That's good. (6000 smileys and no "rolls on the floor laughing"?)

Cuchulainn.

 

"No, there's an elephant in the way." Brilliant!

 

What are you sinking about.........to funny, hehe

 

There was a series of funny commercials of beer called Żywiec on TV.
The main idea was to show that something is "almost like"... And that
"almost makes a difference". Here's one of the funniest I think you
should be able to understand the subtitles but I'll provide their translations
anyway.

1. Almost like a DJ.
2. Almost like tuning.
3. Almost like an idol.
4. Almost like a mobile phone.
5. Almost a sapper.
6. Almost a radar.
7. Amost like Żywiec.
8. Almost makes a big difference.

Hmm this was one of the easiest to understand without translation.


Another one:

1. Almost like in Africa (this one's in Warsaw actually, about 100 meters from the Institute of English Studies, where I study)
2. Almost like in the West (a shop where you could buy goods imported from the west during the communist rule)
3. Almost like Bumble Bee
4. Almost like a pilot
5. Almost like in Vegas
6. Almost like Hercules
7. Almost like in Żywiec

This one really doesn't need translation

Yet, another one:

http://www.zywiec.com.pl/zywiec_root/zywe_obrazy/mpg/prawie2_didzej.mpg

1. Almost like Hi-Fi
2. Almost like a boar
3. Almost like techno
4. Almost like a hippie
5. Almost like a PC
6. Almost like Żywiec


There were more but I couldn't find the original ones. You know,
after their great success people started making their own versions of
the ad.

 

a couple of funny NZ beer commercials

btw the links to the Pulp Sport Great Tui Sneak vids are funny. Pulp Sport was a pretty funny sports show, they did lots of pretty random stuff and ended up getting banned from Eden Park for making the security look stupid (after driving an ATV with a trailor in through an unguarded back gate with a pellet of tui on the back.)

and a couple of soft drink commercials

Cujo:

The second beer commercial is to funny, I need a duck hat

 

the second one came after the first one - the first one is a kinda intro to it. :beer:

 

a few adds that are a bit of a laugh, and the drink isn't half bad either...

God! That was almost as good as "Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins, the
greatest little Hobbit of them all!"

Here's one pretty popular in Poland:
No subtitles but I'll translate for you:

-People of the free record companies!
We have all gathered here to discuss
a very important issue which has been
bothering me for a week. As you know,
I am quite interested in music.
Recently I've seen a new clip on MTV
which beat my favourite Nightwish and
I want to know who's responsible for this.
I hope that you haven't had anything to
do with it. Now, switch the channel to MTV.

*After seeing the clip*

-I've left you alone for only a month and
you've managed to make a hell of a mess!
You've brought shame on me on the eyes
of Mordor Records! I don't know how are
you going to turn this back, but you have to.
Just tell me one more thing:
-What the fuck does "Hayduk" mean?




------------------------------------------------------------
Ah fuck... I just noticed that the word "Hayduk" is not
present in this particular part of the clip, so if it wasn't
popular in your country the punchline won't be funny. :/

 

do you mean haddock - as in the fish?

 

I don't know, the song is in Moldavian.
Anyway, I found this on youtube... not particularly
funny but the voice sounded a little familiar... A bit
like the voice-over of Valden in Co8 modpack.
