The Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook sketch and courtroom scene from Monty Python's Flying Circus
P.S. Yes, we know they're just speaking gibberish and it's not really Hungarian. We don't need any more smartypants commenters telling us that.

I have a friend who travels a lot for bicycle races and always memorises the phrase "my hovercraft is full of eels" in the native tongue of any country he intends to visit. Apparently it's been recognised as a python quote more than once by foreign cashiers.

This sketch is based on a very real and quite terrible Portuguese to English phrase book from 1855 called "O novo guia da conversação em portuguez e inglez". The author only spoke Portuguese, so he used a Portuguese to French phrasebook as a first reference, then used a French to English phrasebook to complete his translations. The result was so bad, it became infamous, and was popularized by Mark Twain as a kind of surrealist comedy.

It was filmed in Dunraven Road near QPR FC, London. The policeman is first seen actually only a few yards from the tobacconists and he is twice seen running back to where he started near the end of Dunraven Road. The shop was on the junction of Dunraven Road and Thorpebank Road. The red postbox is still there today but the shop is now converted back to a house.

These days it's one of the standard nonsense phrases used as example text for translations, along with 'my postillion has been struck by lightning'. Entertainingly, that last phrase was apparently invented by Punch in 1916, claiming it came from a 19th century Hungarian phrase book, meaning it could well be the inspiration for this sketch.

This actually did happen in the '70's . (Note the audience laughter even before the skit really starts when it explains the subject matter.) Some small British publisher, whose name I don't remember, actually published a phrase book with insulting phrases in English which the unknowing Hungarian national thought were stock phrases to help them to get around in Britain. Back then, there were no Hungarian tourists, just some apparatchik mucky-mucks visiting Britain.

Many language texts used silly or unusual sentences to teach correct grammar. They taught the grammar by using a very minimum amount of teaching new vocabulary. That produced very awkward sentences. At the end of the lesson, you realized you may have learned the nouns and verbs but all of them are useless for common conversation. This video mocks these unusual tendancies of these language phrase books. :)

It's a reference to very ancient game show item where questions are fired at the contestant and they have to reply without using the words 'yes' or 'no'. When they do the gong sounds and they're out. The contestant who last longest wins. They formal way people answer questions in court, saying e.g. "I am" rather than "yes" clearly reminded the writers/audience of that game.

@FlyingArkwright THANK you! I've been wondering what that was about for 35 years! I imagine it also explains the end of the "Epsom Furniture Race" bit in episode 20, when the announcer says, "At the post it's the wash basin from WC, then sofa, hat stand, standard lamp and lastly Joanna Southcott's box," and a bishop and two vicars yell from the audience, "OPEN THE BOX! OPEN THE BOX!" (not at all coincidentally, a link to "Take Your Pick," a game show spoof).

"Nyugat" means "west". "Nyugati" is short of "Nyugati Pályaudvar", is one of the main train stations in Budapest, that might be why it is used as an example in a translation book that is aimed for tourists.
