Look, if I’m gonna be stuck watching and rewatching these all day, so are you.

Things get really fucked up at 2:27.

Can you BELIEVE that NO ONE bothered to tell the announcer it’s “KLINGON,” not “KLINGONESE”? Fuckin’ amateurs.

  4. Am I going to have to be the one who says it? Fine, fuck it Erik, it’s not like I ever wanted to date again anyway. “Klingonese” is used by a Klingon to describe the language in the original series, and this commercial was made to promote the Motion Picture, which I believe was the first instance where the language was actually used (and the term Klingon thrown around frequently).
