Rosetta Stone - SNL

In this commercial parody, Rosetta Stone promotes their language learning software to people looking to trade recipes with their babushka or preparing for a perverted trip to Thailand, with phrases like "ping pong ball." [Season 38, 2013]

I love how in the first part, Keenan is literally saying “I like shrimp” in Spanish

[worstdayever]

As a Thai person, yes. These men are everywhere.

[jodiebug]

When I flew to Thailand a few years ago, half the plane was clearly these guys

[kevinohare]

"I need to speak with the American Embassy" - that killed me.

[EKA]

"I'm learning German so that I can pretend I'm German" is the funniest part to me.

[SunDragon]

The thai in 0:51 is "Can I take your clothes off before we get into bed"

[HWDragonborn]

Bold of SNL to assume that men who travel to Thailand for such shady business will made an effort to learn the language.

[allyb]

"I'm learning Spanish to communicate better with my coworkers"

Thats code for "my coworkers are talking shit about me and I wanna know wtf they're saying"

[margaesperanza]

I go to thailand a lot because of many Asia-Pacific student gatherings for school, and I see A LOT of the men I see in this commercial! Its suppose to be funny but its so true!

[thespazzhand]

Kate's eyes are really amazing here! WOW!

[jesushoobastankchrist]

I knew a guy that took out student loans while going to school specifically so he could go to the Philippines. Apparently this is very popular in the Philippines too, he wouldn't stop talking about his plans. It was very unsettling.

[mushroomdance]

I love that the "I'm learning German" part started so genuinely normal and he just made it absolutely horrid

[chikitabowow]

Laughed really hard at how true the pervert Thai part is, then i got slightly depressed because how true the pervert Thai part is.

[shelleyjones]

Ugh I'm Thai but this is so funny 😂😂 and painfully true that there are guys like that

[LucidDreamer]

You forgot to include "Sixteen? Sorry, you're too old for me."

[uz]

My new roommate just went to Thailand... on his

[insertclevername]

In a crowded field of competitors, Bobby staring directly into the camera while the other guys fight over the box is one of the funniest/most disturbing parts of the video.

[doblove]

Bill and Taran always played their creepy guy characters so damn well lol

[annaerar]

I’ve lived in Thailand and omg this could not be more accurate

[mithrinwow]

Man, back in the late '90s/early 2000s when Rosetta Stone wasn't a corporate enterprise it was a really cool place to work. I could sit at my desk, do IT and also play EverQuest.
