1:39 “Variety of Opinions” Waiter: Do you know what you'd like this evening, sir? Anton Ego: Yes, I think I do. After reading a lot of overheated puffery about your new cook, you know what I'm craving? A little perspective. That's it. I'd like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that? Waiter: What sir? Anton Ego: Perspective. Fresh out I may take?

[@celinathommesen-kahler2142]

Fun fact: whipped cream is actually called "skum" in Norwegian. They just translated it directly😂

[@JadedKate]

But why would you have nuts with whipped cream ? 😅😅 (unless it's coffee cake with walnuts in it)

[@Omaricon]

Most Norwegians would call it "krem"

[@jageenperson]

Hahah I'm Swedish and was like "that's gotta be in Norway!" 😂 In Swedish skum means "foam"

[@Omaricon]

@@jageenperson Yep, same in Norway.

[@cosplayshop]

@@JadedKate You don't, that's not why it was called scum in the video. The menu is Chinese (it was shown in many joke site believe it or not) and in Chinese, the direct translation to scum is something like pulp in fruit, when you blend a fruit and make juice, you leave some pulp/lump behind for the texture. To be fair, there are no equivalent translation to that word in Chinese, the closest is pulp.

[@CraparellaSmorrebrod]

Wow, Stanley Tucci's reaction is the greatest.

[@neilburns8869]

I think that's probably because he's an actual cookery enthusiast, had a programme where he investigated his Italian roots and dabbled (experimented) in the kitchen and made some really nice Italian style food. It was shown on CNN, then the BBC (I think) bought the rights to show it in the UK. That and the obvious fact that he's a really nice guy who doesn't really take himself too seriously.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

I've always loved how Paul Whitehouse tosses the wine pairing question to Stanley, knowing full well he's basically incapacitated from laughter.

[@decodolly1535]

I've watched this so many times, but Stanley Tucci crying with laughter never fails to make me do the same 😂

Graham’s wit, phrasing and use of his tone of voice make this even funnier than it would ordinarily be. He’s brilliant at amplifying the hilarity of something. 2:28 is my favourite bit. 😂😂😂 Also the irony of Graham asking 3:14 let alone missing Harry Enfield’s reply. 😂

[@SisterCaliGal]

don't know sometimes, unless you ask.

[@jlo6387]

"Whatever" was in fact a correct translation, that's essentially the name they made up for a juice they serve, which is made of a mix of unspecified fruit.

[@JadedKate]

"Unspecified fruit" if they served that here, it would turn into an Unidentified Flying Object

[@1nm1]

So could it be called something like Chef's Choice Fruit Juice????

[@JasperKloek]

Fruit Of The Day?

[@uiscepreston]

The text underneath says Zònghé guǒzhī which just means "composite juice".

[@PTseffrine]

just to clarify the "whatever" is seriously just WHATEVER in chinese its like a culture thing

[@PTseffrine]

and for the last one, the translation is perfectly correct..... its just the way how japanese name things.....

[@wsk9734]

Actually, it says "Whichever (kind of) Juice" but yep.

[@tonyrungsiri9738]

IC.

[@ssh1487]

But I don't get it, why would you name a dish "whatever"? My Chinese mum isn't familiar with that either

[@dan339dan]

It meant something like "Juice of the Day" or just any juice they choose for you if you'd like a surprise. But don't ever think it's a common thing, because I've never seen it anywhere in real life.

[@Goldeneye1997]

This idea sounds strange in theory but wow, it’s great how every single guest loses it as they’re going through the translations. I laughed like Tucci did on the first time. Props to whoever came up with this idea for the show

I think this is one of the best episodes that has ever been on the show. The best part is the 2nd item on the list "Whatever".

[@RedroomStudios]

no way - the last item is clearly the funniest!

[@sigmalew6651]

Actually, the translation of 'whatever' is correct. It did say whatever in the original Chinese. Below the whatever it say juice of assorted fruit, basically it's whatever fruit the parlos has, toss some of them in the blender kinda juice.

Sausage in the father-in-law...as a Russian speaker I literally felt of my chair laughing.actually the right translation is "sausage in paste",but the Russian words for "paste" and for "father-in-law" sounds almost equal and that fact leads to this translation

[@nickibee4162]

I keep coming back to this video. It's absolutely hilarious. It always makes me laugh out loud!

[@AlexAmelkin]

Sausage in father-in-law is easily explainable. Originally it is "sausage in dough", which is the Russian name for a hot-dog. The Russian language, as you may know, is flective unlike English which is analytic. Flective laguages have a thing called inclination. That is, the noun changes its form depending on how it is used (to which case it is inclined). In Russian there are 6 commonly recognized inclination cases: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Instrumental, and Prepositional. Also, Russian language has genders for nouns (just like German or French do). Nouns of different genders incline differently. When a noun like the Russian word "тесто" (neuter gender) is inclined to the Prepositional case (that is, used with a preposition "in"), it becomes "тесте", which is also the Prepositional case form of the word "тесть" (masculine gender) meaning (surprise!) ... "father in law". Thus when you feed a poorly written automatic translator like the old Google Translate with a phrase "сосиска в тесте" without additional context, it just incorrectly assumes the Nominative form of "тесте" to be "тесть" instead of "тесто", hence the poor father in law with a sausage in him.

One evening when our sons were very young, my in-laws picked them up and took them to their place overnight. When they arrived, my mother-in-law asked if they had had any dinner (my wife had fed them Chicken a la King, chicken in a mushroom sauce). Our youngest tried to answer the question but the best he could do to describe the meal was, "yes, we had chicken and slime".

3:20 not technically a translation fail because that is the literal translation of it. It is written in katakana, meaning that the characters are written as English words in Japanese, so the way it is said in Japanese is the same as English. That read “sui-to taito pussi”
