A Black Guy Talks About I think this was the first LRR video I ever saw - either this or Installation Anxiety, but this one has stuck in my brain. "AIGHT ME BREDEREN, 'EAR ME NOW..."
Does Matt's character actually speak any of these languages? I prefer to believe he can't. All of the questions are asked first in English or an approximation thereof so, since he already knows the question, he can answer it whether he understands it in the language it is asked in or not. It just makes him a tiny bit more evil.

@@vutava8292 There are a few greetings in Klingon, though that is one of them. For example, they sometimes also say "vjIjatlh" or "speak!" It's true though that "Qapla'" is a parting rather than a greeting.
***** Actually, I spent a while learning binary along with my friend to code messages. First three characters indicate capital/lowercase/puncuation, and the other five are the number that the letter comes in in the alphabet. So A = 00100001.
agent45267 Ooh, you just taught me something about how unicode is arranged. Binary is more specifically represented by the unicode values of the characters you're returning, but it looks like it's arranged in this way: Printable Characters begin at 00100000, which is a space. Digits (0-9) begin at 0011. Uppercase letters start with 010 Lowercase characters start with 011 All values in-between are punctuation found on a standard keyboard, in what appears to be fairly-random order. Special characters beyond that are 2-byte values always starting with 11 and 10, with characters starting at 11000010 10100000.
Going through some of your old videos and in the first bit of the video I know exactly how you feel and what you're thinking when he rings that bell. I can't tell you how many times I've had to do that.
Now favourited, thank you for this LRR, even though you don't check this page any more, it's fun to see you're older work. Diolch yn fawr iawn (welsh).
These guys are the funniest thing on the internet. I was watching the collegehumor stuff and that's all hilarious but doesn't have much re-watch value. Graham is a genius!
One would think that the easier way for this business to operate is for each service member to know the form or forms in their respective languages, and if Graham needed to ask Paul to say something in Klingon, he would simply need to point at it. Thus ends me overthinking yet another LRR sketch.
Maybe not the best writing in LRR history, but close. Not only that, but it's probably to most creative sketch I've seen out of any sketch comedy group in a LONG time.
By the way. I'm a little dissapointed that I didn't get to hear you guys try to speak Swedish. That would have made my day. And goddamn Matt plays a good duchebag.
OMG that was greate.... and I just noticed that I am only 15 years late to see this. Good thing to take from this... I am still around watching your stuff !
I can understand that, I do watch it on a regular basis, and do read the credits, it was thanks to Unskippable I was able to learn of your wonderful website. LoadingReadyRun made shed so many tears of laughter that I've grown addictive to your videos and havebeen wathing every single one of them posted on your website. Thank you soo much.
Sir to say I love loadingreadyrun would be an understatement of giant proportions, but I feel obligated to tell you your dutch has a very strange accent and sounds a bit like the swedish chef from the muppets show. with greetings from Belgium, you guys rock
+Alex Sutherland No, it was messy, but I did catch the transition from Dutch to German... His pronounciation made it less obvious than it should be though. XD
That's because the German was actually fluent German, and the Dutch was just a bastardization of something. (says the Dutch-as-first-language person) Still an awesome sketch though
If it's still remotely relevant, It sounded like what resulted when my boyfriend tried to speak dutch by reading it without knowing anything about how it's pronounced. He did a lot better after a brief explanation of what the various sounds are. But then again my boyfriend's native language is Greek, and a lot of the supposedly difficult sounds in dutch are also found in Greek. If I had to guess, Graham translated the relevant sentence somehow (google translate maybe, or some other method) then read it out loud as best he could... Jeremy on the other hand appears to actually speak German.
@TORSTF Yep, this seems to be the LRR gang's take on the sketch where a man attempts to report a burglary to a police force with very specific, and bizarre, hearing impediments.
Koffiegast is a member of ZBB, I know him from there. I was telling him complaints on the movie should be in the thread were the link was, that way the other linguists there could argue with him about said complaints.
Oh, definitely not. I was mostly just surprised at them even attempting it. XD It's not a language I hear much from people that don't qualify as 'native speakers'. I can't think of many examples of people trying to speak it as a second language, so the kind of mistakes people make are all the more amusing for how infrequently you hear it. Having said that the funniest thing I ever heard was on the ICE from Frankfurt to Utrecht, where they were doing announcements in German, English, French and Dutch... But it was clearly a German attempting to speak dutch... The accent was beyond hilarious. - never heard anything remotely like it. XD
Wasn't a fan of the commodore hustles and have found LRR a little lacking lately (yet still worth keeping up) but this update has instantly renewed any waning confidence. Amazing job.
Although this was very funy that was not Dutch. I believed all the other languages though. (I know some German and that sounded good, and so did the Sweedish)
![Laughter [commodoreHUSTLE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/J_4zgL4Q1Bo/mqdefault.jpg)
For those watching to this day, the binary simply says "pee"
Wonder why he didn't just stop after the first eight digits.
01110000
01100101
01100101
Yep, thatsPEE
Graham's Jamaican patois killed me. omg.
A Black Guy Talks About I think this was the first LRR video I ever saw - either this or Installation Anxiety, but this one has stuck in my brain.
"AIGHT ME BREDEREN, 'EAR ME NOW..."
I don't know if the more amazing thing is that this company can speak al languages or that Matt's character can speak all the languages too
Does Matt's character actually speak any of these languages? I prefer to believe he can't. All of the questions are asked first in English or an approximation thereof so, since he already knows the question, he can answer it whether he understands it in the language it is asked in or not. It just makes him a tiny bit more evil.
Patois. And no. I learned it from Badman.
-Graham
xD the subtle "i'm gonna take away the bell from you" at the start
3:26 "That's okay sir...in any case, let me just total up your bill including the $250.00 service charge we have the option of applying per language requested...."
I always loose it at "It's a sketchy impression of Sean Connery and you brought this on yourself."
"and you brought this on yourself" especially haha, its like "you're in deep now"
That and the synchronized middle finger at the end.
I love the coordinated middle finger, including the very graceful entrance
This is one of my favorite loading ready run sketches.
Oh memories! This is the sketch that introduced me to LRR, all these years later it is still one of their absolute top skits in my opinion. :)
Paul came in and yelled K'plaa, meaning victory in Klingon
Kaleus The Epicness Actually, it means "good luck". But it's the closest Klingon equivalent to "hello" that you can get.
GoldenSandslash15 Well yeah, but good luck is synonymous with victory to Klingons
Can also be roughly translated to humans as 'well met'
@@GoldenSandslash15 No, the one and only Klingon greeting is nuq'neH and it means, "what do you want".
@@vutava8292 There are a few greetings in Klingon, though that is one of them. For example, they sometimes also say "vjIjatlh" or "speak!"
It's true though that "Qapla'" is a parting rather than a greeting.
Thirteen years later… still comedy gold!
Wait! How can Paul speek Swedish Chef if he only speek Klingon and Jamaican Patwa?
+SoundTest He learned it through the interpretive dance
+SoundTest Zee-a Muoppets ire-a vetched a lut oun Qo'noS. Bork Bork Bork!
He had a difficult and lonely childhood.
You implying Swedish Chef is an actual language?
@@bojanrodic5406 There was a time when Google's search engine offered a Swedish Chef option. Indeed, when this sketch came out, I think it still did.
Still glorious after all these years. I think this might have been one of the first LRR sketches I saw. Incredible.
10 years later this is still golden.
This needs to be made into a series of some sort like ''If Google was a guy''
after 11 years, this video still cracks me up.
I just found LRR last summer so I'm catching up on a looooot of skits... and this is my absolute favourite so far.
Welcome and enjoy!
01110000 01100101 01100101 = "PEE"
Yes, I know binary.

You mean ASCII

*Comes in holding Voynich manuscript* Can you translate this for me?
no, because its not written in any existent language
Pat Richards it’s actually an early form of Turkish
Dear God in heaven I wish this stuff was more profitable. These sketches are unbelievably funny.
The binary guy at the end was EPIC! :)
the synchronised middle fingers always gets me in this. I wonder how many takes it took.
Now favourited, thank you for this LRR, even though you don't check this page any more, it's fun to see you're older work. Diolch yn fawr iawn (welsh).
This is up there with the best of them. Loved the Jamaican,
Great work, broda, One love rasta!

dragonbretheren The real question is why the "We are Omni-Lingual" sign is ONLY in English
+Arturo Reyes It's a trap.
Maybe not the best writing in LRR history, but close. Not only that, but it's probably to most creative sketch I've seen out of any sketch comedy group in a LONG time.
Miss you Sean Connery, your memory will be carried by sketchy impersonations everywhere
This is still by far my favourite sketch you guys did, everythign you do is great but this just tickles me pink
I have to say, watching the captions try to make sense of this adds an extra layer of silliness...
By the way. I'm a little dissapointed that I didn't get to hear you guys try to speak Swedish. That would have made my day.
And goddamn Matt plays a good duchebag.
Just hire Matt, then.
Still one of my favorites.
Man, this was the very first LLR sketch I saw, oh the memories :P
OMG that was greate.... and I just noticed that I am only 15 years late to see this.
Good thing to take from this... I am still around watching your stuff !
This is one of my absolute favourite skits

I'd forgotten how good this sketch was
They deserve so much more attention.
This one is probably in my top 5 of funny LRR videos.
Sir to say I love loadingreadyrun would be an understatement of giant proportions, but I feel obligated to tell you your dutch has a very strange accent and sounds a bit like the swedish chef from the muppets show. with greetings from Belgium, you guys rock
My gosh, 13 years ago.
*Presents two knives* Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra!
The Swedish Chef and Sean Connery Impressions were Great.
Post Code in german is actually Postleitzahl ;)
I think the dutch sounded to much like german greets from the netherlands try saying scheveningen
That didn't just sound like it, it was German!
+Alex Sutherland No, it was messy, but I did catch the transition from Dutch to German...
His pronounciation made it less obvious than it should be though. XD

Best part 1:40
I do miss the older sketches they did.
You might like the latest LIVE we did, it’s basically 45mins of sketches.

Morgan dancing in a middle finger seems incredibly natural for him.
@TORSTF Yep, this seems to be the LRR gang's take on the sketch where a man attempts to report a burglary to a police force with very specific, and bizarre, hearing impediments.
every time I see this video, I love it more and more!
Simple concept, executed marvelously.
Oh dear god... that was the worst dutch ive ever heard, i couldn't even understand it... and i'm dutch. laughed my ass off.
ik ben van de toekomst!
en ik kon het ook niet verstaan. rip.
I can almost see how they got there but it's like an ugly child of german and Swedish (which is our entire language tbf)
Part of that “Spanish” was almost Portuguese.
“But you speak English…”
“I’m sorry? I don’t-”
Quebec’s Bill 96 in a nutshell
Paul and Graham do, yes.
Great success guys. Another Epic Video.
INTERPRETIVE DANCE.

I need thish man'sh driversh lishenshe number.
This is even better than the Python version with the different voice pitches.
Although I do not speak for them, I have to say they do indeed do the escapist webisodes, Unskippable...
Ah yes, the most universal form of communication, rude gestures.
Paul as a Rasta always makes my day
you forgot the

at the end
woah, Graham pulls off a wicked Connery!
Synchronized flipping the bird for the win!
Good work guys, comedy gold, as usual.
this was BRILLIANT! great job guys keep it up! now to bug people on the forums.
Muy bueno un saludo desde España seguid con el buen trabajo. XD 5 stars
lol, I wasn't trying to make you feel bad, I was just trying to provide you the correct acronym
Jokes that only Canadians truly understand... no matter what language you tell them in.
Damn this was amazing
down the hall on the left is a wall
from loadingreadyrun import *
for joke in sketch:
print "HA"
Awesome sketch. Reminds me of the scene in "Airplane" where the old white nun translates into ebonics :)
Mieke Citroen She spoke Jive, not Ebonics. lol
the Klingon was funny,but the Swedish Chef at 3:04 is absolutely beepy beepy hilarious
"Yeah, it's down the hall on your left." Priceless. Epic. XDDD
Tja. Was nauwelijks te begrijpen, meneer Stark, maar dat is verder niet erg. Blijft grappig.
Anyway... XD
I remember this from the first time... ^__^
"vernuft"
mmh. Pretty much. XD 'vernieuwd'...
Eh. Close enough... I guess?
KuraIthys Well can't expect them to speak perfect Dutch, the sketch is still funny as fuck.
Oh, definitely not. I was mostly just surprised at them even attempting it. XD

Do you even know who the Swedish Chef is? He IS a Muppet.
he said to the left and there's a wall there
fav sketch......but as a person that has worked in customer care for many years. id fucking punch Matt.
LOL
Couldn't understand the Dutch at all :/
the others were fine though :D
yes, just yes
Amazing
bISuvtaHvIS bIHeghjaj! To any actual Klingon speakers in the room
The dude talking in Rasta jamaican language is just too funny.
This was amazing
Wasn't a fan of the commodore hustles and have found LRR a little lacking lately (yet still worth keeping up) but this update has instantly renewed any waning confidence. Amazing job.
13 Year check in. What do you think of LRR now?
I'd have asked to be served in Lojban.
wow, that video was pure win....
@carsun95 It wasn't, It was Swedish Chef.
You, stay on the ZBB.
nice work. very funny as usual.
Jer is awesome when he speaks German. XD
@moodonym - Sorry, never seen the muppets...
Jamaican is the best! One love, rasta!
