Oh man, I'm evil, I've been laughing about this all day. Apparently, this is from a Dutch TV show about mistakes in surgery. Watch the clip and keep your volume up, even though your Dutch may be a bit rusty. The language is universal

Apparently, this was the end of this guy's TV career

That was mildly funny at best. This was obviously a sketch show or something, but the guy's high pitched voice wasn't that funny!

I don't know

For a sketch, it would be sort of weird to have a interview with the guy in between...

Can someone translate? I can't understand too much of it, just bits and pieces.

starman · Oct 14, 2005, 07:05 PM

Ok, the other guy's talking. Now it's funny

ghporter · Oct 14, 2005, 07:25 PM

That's SO bad! BAD show host. BAD producer for not taking care of this ahead of time! BAD, BAD BAD! But SO freaking funny!

What's with the woman in the wheelchair?

Sijmen · 08:58 PM

This show is a sketch from some Belgian producers. It's a bit much to translate everything. But the victims try to start a serieus conversation about how they feel. As you can see the host just cracks up. He doesn't start lauging because of what they are saying.

Apparently, while removing a tumor, the accidently slit some nerves in her spine. I can't make out exactly what she says though.

I didn't watch it, but I will asume it's funny. Oh, here is a thumbs up too.

There.

W T F.

Is he coked out of his mind?

d.fine · Oct 15, 2005, 10:25 AM

its a joke, she went in for a benign swelling, and her spine was damaged during surgery, he had his tonsils removed, and his voice changed as a side-effect.

The presentator is talking about how he screwed up during the interview by laughing at the guy with the funny voice. He's a know actor-comedian, they always make things like these. He's just cracking up at the guys funny voice. I thought it was funny, maybe Belgian humor

the guy in the tribunes with the mic is one of the guys that produce these kinds of shows.

at the end he says he got fired on the spot for screwing up like that, and that that was the end of his TV career. so he goes into radio...

I'm glad the whole thing is a joke, because otherwise that would be the end of anyones (real) TV career.

Nope. The only thing that elicited a mild giggle from me was the guy's shirt when he was doing his 'DJ Boemerang' bit towards the end. I guess my humour isn't very Belgian... ah well.

TETENAL · Oct 15, 2005, 12:04 PM

That was Belgian? I thought they were speaking Dutch.

Not funny though.
