This is fun! Dec 5, 2006

Thank you for sharing your videos!

I found the one about subtitles hilarious!

The clip of the song "Can you feel the love tonight" was great - I tried to visualize people in the movie threatres of each country and it was a nice trip around the world. I liked hearing the Hungarian lines - I am Hungarian and I never get to watch anything in Hungarian as I'm in Canada. But why do the Finns at the end sound like they're drunk out of their trees?...

And the Berlitz ad is smart. I also like the Schwarzenegger accent of the clerk. Yes, they (Germans) do have that kind of accent (when they actually have an accent) - Schwarzenegger is NOT just pretending. I find their accent adorable, just like I love the accent of anglophones speaking French.

I hope we will get more videos in this thread. Also, if you have pictures or other kinds of media, please do post. These make for nice breaks in a day of work! ▲ Collapse

WARNING: this is a banned commercial.

By the way, if anybody has a video to share that is funny and is related to translation, freelancing, etc., please do post it. It can be a little boost after 10 hours of work...


That's what I like about working at home!!!!
