That's hilarious.

“You’re not doing your job as a man anymore”

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

“Your hair was in the toilet water. Disgusting.”

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

I would probably have literally died laughing

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

“He sat down on top of her while high.”

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

“I should strangle you, you bastard.”

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Does @outonbluesix.bsky.social know about this?

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Funniest thing I’ve read all day. Thank you. ☘️💚

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

This was no accident.

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

... and the kids were never the same after that.

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Oh, the joys this has wrought. Thank you. 🤣

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Poor Po! She’s just trying to go to bed three times in a row!

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

That’s hilarious.

Ответ для Malaclypse the Middle

That was...certainly from the internet.

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Swedish television did the opposite once and accidentally aired a debate in the Swedish parliament with the subtitles from a children's tv show.

Ответ для Johan Jönsson

Here's the then Prime Minister, for example.

Ответ для Johan Jönsson

This seems reasonable.

Ответ для Brianna Chesser

Actually, in the 90s, Comedy Central would let Al Franken, then just a comedian, and the lawyer Norm Eisen, then more of a Republican, write jokes on the captions during the state of the union, and they were really funny, but I don’t have any screenshots because it was on cable tv.

Ответ для Brianna Chesser

They did announce it, and I think it was separate from closed captioning, because that’s a legal requirement here?

Ответ для Johan Jönsson

😂😂 Also excellent!

Ответ для Johan Jönsson

Honestly, I'd be tempted to vote for building the best sandcastle in the galaxy.

Ответ для Jenny Griffee

May I hear more about this dinosaur train submarine? Would a transatlantic route be possible?

Ответ для Johan Jönsson

Honestly that’s even funnier!

Ответ для Johan Jönsson

"Accidentally"? Based on most parliamentary debates, I'd say that was a biting political comment.

DISGUSTING

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

That's a version of SlenderTubbies waiting given the series we got XD

Did this really happen? 😆

Ответ для assiduousrabbit

Yes!

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

I hope I can find the whole episode online!

😂

"Accidentally".

omg this happened? lmao

This could kickoff a whole new genre

🤣

😂

Accidentally on purpose …

Omg this really happened

Accidentally, you say🤔

My friends when to see Jurassic Park and the theatre accidentally started playing the sound for Hearts and Souls, which starts with Que Sera Sera by Dorris Day. They still picture dinosaurs when they hear that song. lol

“Accidentally”

💀

Ответ для DJ Uncle Fishbits

And i'm stealing THIS one.

wow, vad roligt det här är 🤣

This should have been a series

🥴😂😂😂😂😂😂

Holy shit lol Viking Tubbies

I'm not sure I believe this really happened but boy, do I WANT to believe it really happened. (actually, what am I worrying about? rounding our preferred priors up to reality is what all the kids are doing these days, who am I to argue?)

Ответ для Danielle Froom 🏳️‍🌈

Po looks so hurt by that remark

Ответ для Danielle Froom 🏳️‍🌈

The Icelandic text implies impotence though.

Can this be rented anywhere for streaming? 😂

Some call it "accidental." I call it brilliance

I really needed that laugh!!!

"accidentally" 😅😍

😝😝

once in Egypt I saw an episode of Dallas with subtitles. They left the N out of Clint...Whoops!

“The Intervention.” The best Sopranos episode.

Ответ для Killingflowers

Perfection.

Ответ для Killingflowers

I cannot handle this

Ответ для Killingflowers

😂😂😂😭😭😭😩😩😩

Ответ для Killingflowers

Woke up this morning, got yourself a gain, again!

Ответ для Killingflowers

He never had the makings of a varsity solar flare.

I would watch that.

I would pay to see Teletubbies doing this all the time.

“Accidentally”

There's similar somewhere of Swedish parliamentry debate with the subtitles from preschool cartoon "dinosaur train". Its very funny.

Well, at least it wasn't from Ian McShane's scenes out of Deadwood....

Please tell me there's an episode of The Sopranoes with Teletubbie subtitles.

Lol. How finny! Oops funny. My bad

That. Is. AWESOME! Is there a place online where it can be viewed?

🤣

You win the internets this month! Congrats and may you have all the Tubby Custard you can shoot in the head this coming year!

At last, a coherent explanation for Iceland's unusually large proportion of crime novelists

This is so wonderful! Thank you so much!!

It also adds to it that the subtitles are quite a bit more formal then the original english.

Certainly explains the giant rabbits, Baby-In-The-Sun and Tubby Custard...

Pure gold. 🤣🤣

THIS IS THE ONE WITH THE INTERVENTION FOR CHRISTOPHER

Ответ для New York State of Good Repair

That was my favorite Teletubbies episode. Just let everyone express how they are affected by the substance abuse

Soprano's subtitles a much better fit for current US news

Pulp lyrics are not just lifted from episodes of Miss Marple, but you can absolutely hear Jarvis singing them

HA. I never knew! Good one.

"I've said my piece, Dipsy".

Oh La La!

I’d like to watch it. All.

The Teletubbies had subtitles!

Oh. I was on the verge of despair. Thank you for bringing me back.

Ответ для Kim Rhodes

Wait til you see the uncensored episode of Pingu with the Samuel L. Jackson subs

now THAT's funny!! 🤣

That is a riot!

I love teletubbies

Hahahahaha

is it true??

To be fair, I imagine learning to speak Tubby is very difficult, much less translating it in Íslenska. And who’s to say that’s not what they’re saying? 😂

I’m sobbing oh my goddd

🤣

this is ariana talking to chris, right?

Oh, I NEEDED this! Thank you!

"Accidentally" nah the subtitle guy just thought it was funny and they were absolutely right

I'd watch that.

hilarious!

Is this for real?? No wait I don’t care cuz 😆😆😆😆

Peak Nordic media. We need more.

I always knew that sun baby was laughing too hard.

Bless you

"Accidentally"

The first time I watched the South Park movie with subtitles .... I felt like throwing a blanket over the TV It wouldn't have the same impact today but still

"I'll get you a new rabbit!" "I don't want a new rabbit! I want Cosette!"

This is brilliant. Having worked in a TV station, dimes to dollars whoever was working at the station loaded up a DVD of The Sopranos and was watching it in Master Control and someone oopsed with their matrix router.

NO!

I needed a laugh.Thank you.

I must see this episode in its entirety.

Should have played this in 28 years later (or weeks or whatever)

Has anyone mixed the Sopranos theme over the Teletubbies intro?

😂👍

Reminds me of those old Vines. “Okay look I don’t have your money?” “Ooh. Hmm. Tinky Winky!” “Oh don’t say that, look-oh, hi Po….” *snarls* “PO!!!!!!!!” *TERRIFIED SCREAMING*

lol Imagine if the characters from Teletubbles actually said those lines.

I would love to see that! 🤣

"Accidentally" 🙄

🤣🤣👏🏻

"accidentally"? or, "I know you were high when you put these subtitles together."

🤣🤣🤣

Judging by their expressions I think he's still high now.

😂🤣😂🤣 hilarious

The mashup we never knew we needed!

I hope the Sopranos got Tellytubby subtitles in return!

Omg that is hilarious!!!😂

hahahahaha

The slackers who get high and watch the show got more than they bargained for that day.

I would watch the hell out of that.

Thank you, that made my day

This is especially funny since the Teletubbies don’t really speak English (or any other language) in the first place

Ответ для Innocent🕷Abroad

Apparently Dipsy (the green one) is supposed to be "of African descent" and the red one (Po) is Cantonese (source: Wikipedia)

Ответ для phroureo

This is at least partly because the actor inside Dipsy is John Simmit and the actor inside Po is (children’s TV presenter) Pui Fan Lee.

Ответ для Ruth Elleson

(I did do quite an extensive search, but info was in short supply - I always thought Dipsy was specifically Afro-Caribbean modelled rather than African…)

Ответ для Ruth Elleson

Our kids so enjoyed Teletubbies. Noo-Noo was the best. Our robot vac is still not even close to as friendly.

Ответ для Phil 🇺🇦🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸

I was 18 when Teletubbies went live. Also, when internet chat became widespread. One of my friends from 90s Teletubby chat is somebody with whom I still have adult political discussions etc. Everyone should be allowed a little multicoloured joy in their lives!

Ответ для Ruth Elleson

By the way, I’ve just found a charming clip from Australian TV of a recent interview with the actors who played Dipsy and Laa Laa. When John Simmit does the voice… 🤣 youtu.be/umi6_EZquSg

Ответ для Innocent🕷Abroad

Sounds a bit like the English broadcasts of The Magic Roundabout - the English BB narration had absolutely nothing to do with the original French script.

I wanna watch it

Uh oh!!

We should all be thankful for the person who at the time saved this beauty for posterity (and who incidentally later became ambassador of Iceland in Washington DC)

Ответ для Hjörvar Pétursson

Hver?? Svanhildur?

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Já Svanhildur. Konan mín sendi mér skjáskot af skilaboðum frá vinkonu sinni (báðar amerískar og búa í DC) sem sá þetta frá þér, og spurði hvort ég gæti staðfest hvort að þetta væri alvöru. Ég hafði séð þetta nokkrum sinnum en tékkaði samt fljótlega á hvað ég fyndi um upprunan.

Ответ для Orri

Magnað!

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Já, hún Svansý, mín gamla skólasystir og vinkona náði þessu á sínum tíma þegar hún var aðstoðarmaður BB og póstaði á fb. Ég held hún sé alveg stolt af þessu enn þann dag í dag. Og má svo sannarlega vera það, þetta er orðið þjóðargersemi

Ответ для Hjörvar Pétursson

Alþjóðagersemi!

🤣🤣

Literally the TV version of the Barbie/GI Joe voicebox switch.

Well, I guess in learning Icelandic now

Ответ для Gray Goo

Oh, stewardess? I speak Björk

Ответ для Joe Strummer was cool

At least Björk actually speaks Icelandic. My introduction to Icelandic music was Sigur Rós, and, well, turns out Hopelandic isn’t an actual language

Ответ для Gray Goo

I love Sigur Ros and I won't hear anything disparaging about them, Jonsi is an angel

Ответ для Joe Strummer was cool

You’re right. Who am I to disparage Jonsi.

Hilarious 😂

😅🫣😂🤣

Love it.

Ответ для Nelson Rare Books

It's only attested in very late (19th and 20th c) paper mss, alas! Older =/= always better in paleography, of course, and this may present a lectio difficilior, but... Occam's razor

That’s it. I’ve laughed myself into a peaceful slumber. Night night, all!☺️

Oh my gosh, I nearly snorted my coffee out my nose. Thank you for the laugh.

Good times.

This should happen more often.

What, no gabbagool?

Epic!🤣🤣

this made me truly crack up. thank you.

I was working in UK children's television when we started putting Teletubbies out, in the late nineties. Part of the job was loading subtitles onto the computer that overlaid them as the programme went out from tape. I am really, really glad I didn't do something like this, but so easily done :-)

Po indulged too much in tubby kustard that day x,D

I’m so happy to know about this

Wait, what? OMG

"ACCIDENTALLY"

Only the second time I've read of this happening, this is brilliant. Even AI can't be this faulty and that's why it's not as fun.

It would be even a greater uproar if they accidentaly aired a Polish "remake" of Teletubbies with swear words and obscenities. 😉 P.S. There is a large Polish community in Iceland (surprise)

I could not love this more if I tried.

Thank you, I forgot about that 😂

Teletubbies is filmed in studios near Stratford on Avon. I kinda understand those subtitles with that context!

That red Teletubbies suffering major withdrawals on that bed......

Joyous!

When Teletubbies go rogue and make you sleep with the fishes!

Oh my god I just let out a YELP at the Y, thank you

That would actually make more sense than the real lines.

That feels very Iceland.

OMG did this really happen? I love that so much.

lol

Now that is funny.

Po! How could you!?

😹😹😹

😂

Sincerely hope someone screen recorded this

"Uh ooooh~"

Everyone at that station deserves a medal.

That's fucking amazing.

Fantastic. Thank you SO much 🤣😂

This is amazing. I had no idea. Christopher's intervention is the perfect episode for this unintentional mashup.

That’s an episode I’d love to watch.

I think that might be an accurate translation of teletubby language. "Eh-oh", "uh-oh", "big hug", "you were high during my mother in law's wake"

I love the Sopranotubbies!

Absolutely glorious

@chilepepper.bsky.social 😜

Ответ для 🇨🇦 moeman

😂

Haha, this made my day 😆

The Christopher intervention was one of my favorites!

I was always suspicious of the sun baby. … Lived in Dallas in the ‘90s at a job which ran late into the night. The local PBS station ran Teletubbies reruns at 2 in the morning . You know that was not for the kids.

There was also a very entertaining for-the-grownups subtext of Dipsy’s unrequited crush on Laa Laa 🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Would love to watch that!!!

😍

Thanks for the best chuckle today.

I have never seen the Teletubbies indoor!🥹 Also, why do I suddenly understand Icelandic!?😲 (Maybe learning German was not completely for the cat)☺️

So Funny!

A+ international interest story, TYVM

We had a similar thing happen in Sweden. The subs from a child channel over a political debate. ”I will build the largest sand castle of the galaxy”

Ответ для Love

I was looking to see if someone would reference that. It's hilarious 😁

Ответ для Le Joyeux Scribe

I had to share to joy.

Ответ для Love

Who says politicians no longer dare to dream?

Ответ для Love

Correction: it reads ”the best sandcastle”, not ”the largest sandcastle”. Sorry for slop.

Ответ для Love

I would vote for that

Ответ для Andromeda Yelton

I would want to see their prior sandcastle votes before I lend them my support.

Ответ для Love

He's got my vote.

Ответ для Love

Nice try buddy, but politicians have promised me that before.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

They're still claiming it was an accident, are they? 😉

This show honestly scared the shit out of me as an infant. They're so weird and bug-eyed. The vacuum dog is demonic. Why is a child's soul trapped in the sun?

thx!

Please please let this be available on Youtube.

Ответ для Nancy Arrgh
Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

Thank you for the translations. I would watch this very, very often.

Ответ для Hildur Knútsdóttir

This has given me the best and most unexpected laugh of the spring!

This is hysterical!

That made me chuckle . Iceland also had a different version of Dracula for 100 plus years without anyone noticing. The original translator having gone rogue. He just made up his own version .

Ответ для Robert Lock

LOL

Ответ для Robert Lock

As a translator, I approve.
