[amandavdwalt]

I'm having a hard time focusing on his face here ;)

[Hayri2011]

His explanation reminds me of Japanese...lots of crazy rules in their grammar as well.

[McMasterClassicsClub]

Latin is simple, try Ancient Greek...

[beegirlmia]

ok is it just me or dos he actually speak German....!?

[Bjowolf2]

@beegirlmia

Yes, amongst a lot of other "languages" ;-)

[KallyJones]

@beegirlmia

Ya, he's playing at many languaeges. He's fucking crazy funny that way.

[happyjellyfish]

elephant = "imaginatus maximatus squirrel upsidedanus back-to-frontus"

I couldn't stop laughing. XD I also love how most of this is quasi German. He's such a legend. <3

[ahtartersauce101]

run mothafucka. lol

[lilatiomernew]

so he spoke at least 3 latin languages- Italian, French, Romanian ; but not Latin :)) exeot the 'vini, vidi, vici' thnig ..hilarious:))

[rictor129]

@lilatiomernew i think i even heard german at one point. "ich bin..." "das ist elephantine" and whatnot

[KrJtAngel]

I am in my second year of Latin at university and he's right, it's fucking impossible, why stop at 27?

[SiriusMined]

When are they going to release this for Region 1!??!!?

[Chugalg]

I love how many different languages he mixed in here XD

[britishshock]

You need to watch this about eight times to get every thing in that super speech

[fmafreak586]

"..and straight tranvestive"

[ACrackOfLightning]

As someone who took Latin for four consecutive years, this is even funnier.

[Naikorasu]

Watching this made me fluent in Latin.

[DirectInjected]

English, French, Italian, German, Latin is what I counted. And yet he managed to make that mess understandable.

[Gerstein1]

Can someone PLEASE give me lyrcis to this?

[andybpiano]

I took Latin in HS. Eddie is exactly right... it's so convoluted!

[OldScarsNewHate]

How many languages has he put in here? I got Latin(of course) French, spanish, Italian...

[OldScarsNewHate]

@OldScarsNewHate German, too.

[MrY0ufail]

@OldScarsNewHate Don't forget English too. lol I counted those 6. But there are probably more but I can't recognize that many languages. :P

[OldScarsNewHate]

@MrY0ufail What, he speaks English here? lol

[ILGAR93]

@OldScarsNewHate

german, english...

[OldScarsNewHate]

@ILGAR93 Ja, I got those two... I speak both :)

[thetimsalaproject]

run motherfucker!!

[bryonlape]

Original version is better.

[TearstainedTaffeta]

"infiniatus soldatus is totallyimpossibleatus"

[SiKedek]

I'd really like Eddie to pick up a non-European language now, like Japanese or Korean. I'd love to see the results of his comedy after that sort of endeavor!

[Dragon08KK]

"...couldn't have 19 more" XD

SOOOO true! & the "its diffuciltarium" ahh man, that slayed me!

[bentosgirl]

I wept during this. My boyfriend stared at me worriedly. Sadly, I dropped my cam during the whole bit from blubbering :(

[HighKingTurgon]

Of course, nobody actually at the show understands a word of his jokes, and we Latinists on Youtube are yukking it up.

[HighKingTurgon]

'Quod the fuck?' 'Ich bin messengario.' 'Si?' 'naturellement.'

[plowingzero]

awsome!

[boricuajoker]

Luv u Eddie
