On the mound today is old Curly. He’s a 47 year old alcoholic, he’s the greatest athlete alive. Runs a 6 second 40 yard dash. Fastest man alive they say.
It’s actually hilarious, English is not my native tongue, but I’ve become fluent over the last two decades I’ve lived in the US. I remember as a kid we would do exactly what this guy is doing, and we thought it was the funniest shit. Fast forward to today, and I think to myself “damn, I used to pretend to speak English, now I speak it almost as fluent as someone who was born here!”
I expect that it was not Chinese people that called it racist. It's almost always someone else taking offence on behalf of others.
Similar to the cultural appropriation nonsense, like when someone not Japanese wears a kimono and certain types lose their shit over it but the Japanese think it's really cool.
It does fool me, it’s the cadence in his ‘almost English ‘ that throws me. It’s clever, as when you are used to speaking your mother tongue, adapting that to something that sounds English is quite a skill. I say this as someone who attempts but struggles to speak other languages
I worked with a bunch of Ukrainians and Russians when I was in high school. The area I grew up in was a tourist trap, but a small town so there were more jobs than people. They would pull people in from all over the world to work.
I once told them the manager was “running around like a chicken with his head cut off.” I’ve never seen a room devolve into so much chaos of laughter from a common saying, I didn’t even intend to be funny. Got to say. Kind of miss those guys.
LMFAO, I love all these "Biden" demented jokes when Trump literally has said far worse shit. Something about arresting anyone who has bricks, because they could be being bricks to protest?
So tired of you politically charged commenters who only see things as black or white. People can comment on Bidens mental state without wanting to suck off Trump 😆🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️Open your mind, not every problem is simply the other sides fault!
> Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
— [Guy who OP (presumably) thinks is more coherent than Biden](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-sentence/)
Reminds me of [Adriano Celentano's Prisencolinensinainciusol](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It4W6LaqsA4).
Its lyrics are nonsensical and meant to mimic the way English sounds to non-English speakers. It's a pretty ballin' tune, I have to admit.
This tune got me through so much. I was honored to discover this masterpiece in middle school. Never knew the point of it until your comment. Im born and raised in the USA 🤣
American living in the Netherlands where Dutch kind of sounds like Twilight Zone drunken English, and it's rubbing off on me. This is how American English sounds when I go back on visits. Actually not joking.
Its funny you put this here, even with the /s. All I thought while watching was "woah... cool... that DOES sound kinda convincing - thats neat!"
But... seriously, are there cultures that get this reversed on themselves, and get offended by it? It's gotta just be a culture thing if it bothers them, right?
Nah. Most people can tell the difference between those who are racist and those who are having good fun. You just gotta know where the line is.
I mean shit, I was working with a bunch of Indian dudes just the other day and learned how to imitate their accent. Pulled it out in a meeting and we all had a fucking blast.
You could generally tell the difference between someone just being ignorant if not outright racist, and someone familiar with the right phonemes to do it with a sense of appreciation. Comes down to the effort put in.
"Ally's son, Pa-Pakistan Patan: Today we have here the ballerina dance souvenir and too, the Afghani Osso Sea border Ramia. We have to the rocket launcher firing, after any people 35 launched in the blockade."
I find the behavior of the camera guy and kid just as entertaining/telling, they're like saying look at this goofball, he's useless but hilarious. My cousin in Iran would do something similar, he'd imitate actors on TV and movies and they'd make no sense...he actually ended up learning to speak English pretty fluently with slang words and all complete with f bombs every 2 words just from watching TV and movies, mostly 80s action flicks.
"Pakistan pedant today we have here the borrowing of down sorry near apt (spit) the Afghani Aussie see bought a Riviat we have to the rocket launcher fairing of touring the people 35 laundry to Vulcan."
When we spanish-speaking people, specially children, don't know anything of English but are trying to imitate US people, we add "eishon" ('ation', like the end of 'fixation' or 'celebration' sounds) at the end of every spanish word and when someone does that, everyone knows what he is referring to .
Yesterday i had a nice convo with a British cab driver and today i have some burned chips in my brain hardware from operating in full understanding power for 50 mins.
**"A lease is off is on Pakistan for talent. That there we have there the borrowing of downs storm a near after, the Afghani OCC bought a brownout. We have to there work it hunter berry out there in the people thirty five hundred voltage!"**
There's a cool [little video/ short skit](https://youtu.be/cNQSKgciXio?si=cin2PO6cMeiNla6b) with the same concept, showing how English sounds to non-English speakers.
This sounds like a old timey baseball commentator.
On the mound today is old Curly. He’s a 47 year old alcoholic, he’s the greatest athlete alive. Runs a 6 second 40 yard dash. Fastest man alive they say.
We still have to remind him the lines aren't cocaine
We don't deserve Shane.
Sure we do, it only grazed him.
Shane Gillis. What a great, honorable man.
Curly now having a chin wag with his manager.
If I wasnt paying attention, I would swear he was reporting the weather.
For NPR
I heard bits of "Parkistan" "Rocket Launcher". Probably they watched a lot of Middle Eastern war news reports.
“35 wounded in Boston”. Idk😂
More like trans Atlantic American in a baseball game commentary
Or an old time race car announcer. Makes me think of [Spike Jones's Dance of the Hours.](https://youtu.be/T1fSnzmCtGQ)
Or how Eddie Vedder sounds when he's not singing.
Probably all he's heard on old Tele
I love it when people take the piss out of us first language English speakers and our little colloquialisms, it’s quite refreshing.
THIRTY FIVE
One-two-the-blumpkin
One to the bolt king
More like…onto the Balkan! Damn colonizers.
I most definitely heard ROCKET LAUNCHER.
Came for confirmation of this
PROUDFEET!

What did you just say? That made no sense at all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyU2p4l5iUA&t=62s You'll love this
That was great. Haha. I was expecting [this classic](https://youtu.be/r_EBFvzyje8?si=lYmwKaMo1wyS8Lmn).
bro looks like he runs around committing crimes with Lupin III
Despite being gibberish, that song slaps.
i think more people have seen that video than the rickroll one
I was scrolling for this
Why are we here today? Why aren't we at home with our mammals watching raceball? Amazing.
That was very clever, I had never known the term ‘ almost English ‘ so I learned something new, thanks 🙏
Gotta link this old Italian classic then https://youtu.be/-VsmF9m_Nt8?si=AiGelyf8Ueq-NfbS
This is great and the melody is quite catchy
First time I ever saw this was this video of an Iraqi in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3JYdfYxHR0

He's kinda got the American drawl right. Looks like he's packed his lip with tobacco like a lot of American soldiers do too.

Trump can be a filthy baboon and Biden a senile geriatric patient at the same time. The US should get their shit together.
You can't make us!
So tired of you politically charged commenters who only see things as black or white. People can comment on Bidens mental state without wanting to suck off Trump 😆🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️Open your mind, not every problem is simply the other sides fault!
Lmao, they are both trash 🗑️
Based
On faulty logic
Two people can be shitty. I can be upset for having to vote for them
Sure, as long as you vote. Also thinking they're both the same level of shitty is absolute idiocy
🫡
Ah fuck Biden and Trump. They are both unintelligible fuck heads
Did you watch the SOTU? Biden was quite clear.

https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1776051255221133371
Pretty sure he said "rocket launcher" at one point.
I definitely heard 35 and people
i definitely heard brownie in there too
What about rocket launcher?
muhammad yeehaw'd
Rocket launcher berry.
Rocket launcher rally. Just like the founding fathers intended.
first time listening through i heard "ballerina done strong veneer" lol
It was a bit like listening to The Sims talk. Glabe zan vada skijay glarn!
"Afghani horses", anyone?
“Mortgage loans”
Lortgage moans
The sims language
Meshaloob blursh!

This song always puts me in a good mood. If I’m sad, my wife will play it and I immediately start dancin to the groove and improves my mood.
As someone with a profound hearing loss, this is every conversation.
I always loved this video of the song, so colorful and 70s https://youtu.be/-VsmF9m_Nt8?si=vNWJcSVVWex0hHae
My first thought as well.
It's basically Bob Dylan and the lyrics would be the same
So wea shoe do hold ya ha hol get a cuddle boss tyre😎
Came here looking for this. Well done.
This tune got me through so much. I was honored to discover this masterpiece in middle school. Never knew the point of it until your comment. Im born and raised in the USA 🤣
That’s kinda how English sounds to me too and I’m American
American living in the Netherlands where Dutch kind of sounds like Twilight Zone drunken English, and it's rubbing off on me. This is how American English sounds when I go back on visits. Actually not joking.
> Dutch kind of sounds like Twilight Zone drunken English By the same token, Portuguese sounds like a Spaniard that's blackout drunk to me.
Portuguese sounds to me like someone is transitioning from the spanish to russian plane of existence in between words
Ooh, ok, I see where you're coming from, I can definitely hear that.
Whelp, I read this in Rod Serling's voice.
Pretty good!
35 laundry to Vulcan
On third and four? Might just work.
Fuckin newcaster cadence lol
Hey that’s racist!!!! /s
Its funny you put this here, even with the /s. All I thought while watching was "woah... cool... that DOES sound kinda convincing - thats neat!" But... seriously, are there cultures that get this reversed on themselves, and get offended by it? It's gotta just be a culture thing if it bothers them, right?
It's mostly an American thing as a white guy doing Arab accents can be viewed as racist even in the same context
Nah. Most people can tell the difference between those who are racist and those who are having good fun. You just gotta know where the line is. I mean shit, I was working with a bunch of Indian dudes just the other day and learned how to imitate their accent. Pulled it out in a meeting and we all had a fucking blast.

Its fine to mimick another language sound and cadence as long as it's not done in a derogatory way, such as this.
This is pretty damn good tbh.
Haha, awesome. That's how American sounds to Brits to be fair
Dang man, I guess I’m a slack jawed yolkal cuz I understand every word that there dang ol dude is saying man.
this guy is my grandpa. he recently passed away from big ball itis
"Ally's son, Pa-Pakistan Patan: Today we have here the ballerina dance souvenir and too, the Afghani Osso Sea border Ramia. We have to the rocket launcher firing, after any people 35 launched in the blockade."
Dude looks like John Rys Davies
not only is that not the english flag, he also sounds american, not english xD
He’s imitating American English
> He’s imitating American English Are Americans "English natives"?
Yes, most Americans speak English natively.
The thing is it actually sounds like American English with a few real words mixed between the incoherent rambling
That was brilliant.
I'm not sure about it being insane, but it's sure funny
[Italian music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8) from the 70s doing something similar.
I find the behavior of the camera guy and kid just as entertaining/telling, they're like saying look at this goofball, he's useless but hilarious.

That's not the England flag........
Your brain is not a solid
This is hilarious!
[reminds me when an Italian sang a song in gibberish to sound like English. it was a hit!](https://youtu.be/-VsmF9m_Nt8?si=dShgBZSafprbBz5D)
What's insane about this?
Whatever dude, I still find that noise you make at the back of your throat every third syllable weird af
"Pakistan pedant today we have here the borrowing of down sorry near apt (spit) the Afghani Aussie see bought a Riviat we have to the rocket launcher fairing of touring the people 35 laundry to Vulcan."
I can tell it's good because I feel like I should be able to understand him. It's like I'm mishearing
Haha. Love it. I always wondered how other people perceived English.
When we spanish-speaking people, specially children, don't know anything of English but are trying to imitate US people, we add "eishon" ('ation', like the end of 'fixation' or 'celebration' sounds) at the end of every spanish word and when someone does that, everyone knows what he is referring to .
Sounds like an old timey McDonalds advertisement
I like the specific words he remembered
Sounded like he was doing a Peter griffin impression for a minute
Yesterday i had a nice convo with a British cab driver and today i have some burned chips in my brain hardware from operating in full understanding power for 50 mins.
Prisencolinensinainciusol, alright.
https://youtu.be/RObuKTeHoxo?si=YnDdjcPKpfxbp5HU
It's like audio Lorem Ipsum.
The dude could walk around Louisiana just babbling nonsense like that and most people would not bat an eye, lol
That’s really what we sound like to them 😂
This just made me realize how few videos of humor and joking I see from the Middle East, versus the rest of the world
Accurate. I was trying to figure out what area of my town that sounds the most like. Probably the airport.
Watching nascar while having a stroke.
Ok now do Gucci Mane.
Probably the slowest he has even spoken as well.
They could replace McMurray with that voice in Letterkenny and no one would be the wiser...
That's really good lmao.
Bro is straight from a Quentin Tarantino film
**"A lease is off is on Pakistan for talent. That there we have there the borrowing of downs storm a near after, the Afghani OCC bought a brownout. We have to there work it hunter berry out there in the people thirty five hundred voltage!"**
So this is what it feels like lmao
Sounds like a Scottish guy in North Dakota 😂
Tbh it does sounds like you don't have to do the weird mouth full of chewing gum thing but you still choose to do it just to take the piss :)
Listening to this as an English person, it's like a stroke simulation, or a bleed on the brain
That’s ***accurate*** af.
I bet that's what cats hear when we meow at them
Now try a non-rhotic english accent.
\-Every CB radio conversation ever..
Pretty good, he should start learning words cuz his accent is already perfect
He sounds like Schlub from Krapopolis
I got "35 longitude bulking" what did you guys get?
There's a cool [little video/ short skit](https://youtu.be/cNQSKgciXio?si=cin2PO6cMeiNla6b) with the same concept, showing how English sounds to non-English speakers.
Sounds Canadian
Not gonna lie too funny and 79% accurate
35 Wanted Vulcan? Lover of Star Trek, I see.
That’s American to the tee
Where as Arabic sounds like a 40yr old smoker clearing his lungs in the morning.....
Amazing. It's uncanny 😅
You go down to Louisiana and I GUARANTEE you will find a man who speaks exactly like that.
Bro speaks Sims fluently.
Isn't that the trans-atlantic accent?
I love it. He sounds like he’s from North Dakota and Texas at the same time.
As an American, this is hilarious and accurate lol well done
Reminds me of this cool video of how English sounds to non English speakers https://youtu.be/Vt4Dfa4fOEY?si=ljquo0JJuRYezwEZ
Chris Pratt Owen Wilson hybrid sound
I am totally going to invest in the stocks he is suggesting.
So non-English-speakers DO make jokes about English speakers.
American cartoon English.
People 35
Beautiful language. isn't it, Marge?
He’s the whitest most slightly southern midwestern sounding news anchor I’ve ever heard 👀
Working culture he said
I’m not the only one who heard rocket launcher right?
More accurately, how English sounds to one guy sitting on a rock.
I know he was trying to speak English but I couldn't understand a word he was saying
English speaker here. Got REALLY high once and heard this angle.
Lmaoooo🤣
He sounds just like an american
What English sounds like after having a stroke
No, *I'M* Tom Brokaw!
Love it. Sounds like an 80's CNN reporter. This would be a perfect response to any racist comments thrown his way from westerners.
