More word hell

Here's a guy who speaks fake Chinese, fake French, fake Italian, fake Russian, fake Spanish, fake German and fake Japanese, in order to invite fellow fakers to reply by speaking in fake English.


A tall order, but for those who wonder what our language sounds like to those who don't speak it, here's one girl who took him up on it:


And here's a boy doing the same thing, in a video titled "This is what English REALLY sounds like":

If you think I have nothing better to do at midnight than attempt to solve the problems of the world by making fun of misunderstandings, you're wrong.

Duty calls. No government bailout here!

Unlike the MSM, I'm like really into total sustainability.

Wow, he is good! My 2 year old speaks fake English. It's nearly pure babble, just an occasional real word is recognizable. But her tone, stress and emphasis are spot on. Hand gestures too. She'll lecture us like that for a few minutes at a time. It's pretty amusing.

Midnight? Looks more like 12 PM to me.

What, no link to Engrish.com?

I should have used 00:14 instead of 12:14. Error corrected!

Actually, that's pretty entertaining. They just sound really drunk to me, like I should be able to tell what they are saying.

Actually, his fake versions are pretty good. The Spanish was a bit weak, but the Chinese and French were quite good.

The best response to any fake language is "What did you say about my mother?"
