Minister: Ja Ja I love it

Me: What are you?......a gay fish! LOL

[JohnACorp782]

@splashlog01 Congratulations, you just told the worst joke in history...

[splashlog01]

@JohnACorp782

Do you like fishsticks?

[JohnACorp782]

@splashlog01 No, I don't have the perversed mind your kind.

[salamisalami100]

It's about the import of meat and spices.

The minister is neither drunk nor has it anything smoked.

He is a funny man. I do not know what he was thinking.

lg from Switzerland

[noswisshate]

هناك حسب البنك المركزي السويسري حوالي خمسة ألاف مليار دولار من المال العربي المسروق في بنوك سويسرا العنصرية والتي هي سبب تبوؤ سويسرا أعلي دخل فرد في العالم علي الشعوب العربيه ومؤسساته المطالبه بها وعلي سويسرا أن تكشفها وتعيدها كلها

[NocturnalAngel77]

There is a reason America has so many problems. Judging by the comments on this post, we have more insulting, degrading comments on light-hearted videos such as this than people whom find it uplifting and positive.

[RobertMOdell]

@NocturnalAngel77 Excuse me, but Americans are really ticked off right now. 10% are hoping for revolution to begin in March.

[NocturnalAngel77]

@RobertMOdell Excuse me Robert but you can stop stalking me on Youtube now. I believe I told you to cease speaking to me on *my* video and that includesattempting to stalk my comments from my page. Bye bye now. You will be reported.

[RobertMOdell]

@NocturnalAngel77 I don't know you or your video. What are you saying I commented on, and why do you care?

[ceplinsh]

Could anyone please translate this?? PLEASE!!!!!!

[tiQxMUSIC]

@ceplinsh

he talks about about the export of a special swiss meat called "Bünderfleisch" ... and actually he is laughing cause it is such an highbrow/bureaucratic speech his subordinates wrote for him ...

[TheNinjaSAS]

This is exactly why Swiss is the richest country and haven't been in any war at all, because they are human, have soul and sense of humor

[5600981]

laughter is a common language

[trevgk]

This meant to be a finance minister, typical swiss pillock!!

[Defcom96]

@trevgk you know trev,for a 60 year old you sure are immature.

What has Switzerland ever done to you,for you to go around and insult them on so many swiss related channels for so long?

[wolfLaZoR]

[jonnyporn]

@wolfLaZoR no he say 6, the number... :)

[icecube45]

@DrCONTADOR9999 no, we speak a german dialect. and italian and french and rumantsch. he had to give an answer to a question regarding importation of spiced meat. The bureaucratic text of the customs was...well, very bureaucratic, that is the reason he laughed so hard. Actually all people like him for this human gesture :)

[DrCONTADOR9999]

@icecube45 wow!! u know languages!! =) and he's awesome!!!

[youngplayag]

[pahlevi]

Swiss Minister 2:

[shakenama]

I'm sure the Swiss Minister was giggling over the fact that he is talking about what spiced meats are and could be talking about more important matters.

[TheVai111]

Free Cannabis :)

[RagingBull51]

[blite13]

Didn't know they had such good magic mushrooms in Switzerland

[stefanj11]

fake u noobs

[MassiveMultiPlayer]

@stefanj11

it's not fake at all, kid

[gsurya]

Too funny, we need more politicians like that. Especially in India where a beloved minister almost got sacked for something as harmless as using a slang *cattle class* for the economy class in the airlines. Wish AP wud post the translation to description though.

[cawoxasan]

looooooool at 1:10 i like this guy

[MissusFingerBottom]

ahh this happens to everyone haha.

[CrackerJackLee]

where's the Bunderfleisch!?

(wrapped meat...?)

this video is the only pleasure that the swiss will ever get from their government...

i wonder if he got the strap for this...

[CrackerJackLee]

this is why they don't allow normal people into the government... if you knew the truth... if you knew what they were doing there... you'd break down into tears of insane laughter...

[dudemadkefka]

ok i have uploaded this video with subs now. They didnt work at first but now they do.Check out my username because it wont let me link the video. thanks

[roadwitness]

Please, someone add subtitles for non-German/Swiss speakers :)

[shenang0]

He was certainly a good sport when he found an unintelligible text in front of him. Laughter is contagious, even if you can't understand the language!

[JizzonTheDark]

I don't get it :(

[theeclipse1]

marihuana is talking more than he :)

[snapplebabble]

can anyone translate wat he's sayin?

[alexrocksnyc]

@snapplebabble He is talking about chapter and numbers in finance.

[edster1973]

it was nice to hear others laughing in the back ground. i got tears in my eyes from laughing with him..

[grandmachristine42]

Wow an actual human being in a position of power!

[Mounce2]

@grandmachristine42 A politician with a sense of humor and human emotions?! WHAT IS THIS?! I want this guy in North America!

[DrazeRG1941]

@Mounce2 You have much better than that. A real man, human being, honest and very brave. His name is Dr. Ron Paul

[satanrocks668]

@DrazeRG1941

this is no place for your petty propaganda. i like ron paul just fine, but this is about somebody having fun for a change, which is what we all need. chilllax, dood.

[DrazeRG1941]

@satanrocks668 Petty Propaganda? I can bet that all 100 senators and 458 congressmen are having a lot of fun. While millions of people are having miserable time.

[satanrocks668]

@DrazeRG1941

yes. propaganda. and it's petty. douche. this is switzerland we're talking about.

[DrazeRG1941]

@satanrocks668 No, obviously you don't know what you are talking about. I don't even see a point in you comenting about my coment that I left for someone else. You tube user Mounce2 talked about not Switzerland but USA. Ok?

[satanrocks668]

@DrazeRG1941

stop it. you're giving me the giggles ;-)

[DrazeRG1941]

@satanrocks668 Ok. I will stop; ;-)

[Mounce2]

@DrazeRG1941 I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not D: Am not American, and I don't pay attention to politics at all, so I don't know who that guy is anyways :|

[alaricy]

He LOLed for Greece economy?

[IAMJESUSmovie]

OPERATION FIRESTORM. CHANGE THE QUR'AN

[nikita251]

it's a response to a question on imported cured meats,,,, we could used some of their meats,, north america missing humour at times (especially these days)

[dudemadkefka]

1:14 is the best laugh!

[dudemadkefka]

What....a.....LEGEND! I haven't laughed that hard in a while...really...this guy hillarious.!

SEE MY VIDEO WITH SUBS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!

[CafarHeydarov]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah. That's great/ Halal olsun sene ay Hans-Rudolf.

I'm always in this case.

[AncutaMerkel]

Its so great to see people laughing inside Parliament. Usually its people fighting and shouting at each other. I love it!! Its good to hear a totally relaxed environment.

[ChaosButterfly8]

He got more laughs than Stephen Colbert at the Congressional hearing.

[Hopeful71]

"We have been harboring crime syndicates money for years...giggle...and the rest of the world does nothing to stop us.....hehe....we are profiting off the misery & pain....LOL....caused by our immoral indifference to enabling criminals.....LMAO!!!!"

[beccahday]

@Hopeful71 that's what he said?

[IAmTheCthulhu]

Hes so fucking stoned..

[IAmTheCthulhu]

@weasel990 Calm down, dammit I'm not serious. Fuuuck. I don't even smoke weed anymore. Whats wrong with it anyway? You don't bash on people who smoke cigarettes or drink, do you? Don't tell me those things are not as bad as pot, because science proves otherwise.. That is; if you even listen to science.

[weasel990]

@IAmTheCthulhu if i even listen to science.... thats a stupid comment, and i both smoke and drink, im just sick of people that spend there whole lives high (not saying you do, but making the comment you did wouldnt make it a crazy leap) making these dumb he must be high comments

[IAmTheCthulhu]

@weasel990 its just funny. could you a imagine him smoking a fat one and then getting in front of all those people especially how its seen to society. :P

it'd be funny, like george bush burning a fat one and then giving some speech

[pedarikarhu]

@weasel990 Dude butthurt much?

That attitude would vanish for eternity if you just hitted the friggin bong

[BlueSilence1985]

LOL had me smiling the whole time. Wish I knew what he was talking about.

[Eirexeyes]

that last thing he said i know was funny lol.. i was laughing even tho i dont know what the hell he said lol

[lyricsma]

I have no idea what this guy was saying, but I was laughing right along with him. How come laughter is so contagious?

[luqaqim86]

translation.... anyone?

[johnnyk67]

@luqaqim86 : No translation, but when Finance Minister Hans-Rudolf Merz read the word "Bündnerfleisch," an air-dried beef product, he suddenly burst into giggles, as the gallery and other politicians also joined in. When he tried to keep going, he sunk into more giggles.

[vegetarian7710]

vegetarian

[iknewitalready]

Imports of Cured meat or Cloned meat.

Do you want Cloned or genetically modified Salmon for dinner?

illusion of choice causes laughter.

[jalexander126]

He laughing because he knows no one is going to buy the bullshit he's trying to sell.

[ChaosButterfly8]

The Mr. Bean of finance ministers.

[productiveamerican]

he said sex.

[BertGriffin88]

Since I don't speak Swiss, I have no idea what demolished Merz, but his hilarity is so infectious, I was laughing right along with him. Who knew cured meats could be so hilarious?

[bl0000000000]

@BertGriffin88 I'm not trying to be a smartass or trying to offend you. He's speaking german XD

[PumaM90]

@bl0000000000 so he is Switzerland's finance minister who speaks German? care to translate then?

[bl0000000000]

@PumaM90 switzerland's official languages are German, French and Italian. Not swiss o.o

[PumaM90]

@bl0000000000 i dont live in the area so i didnt know that.

[hksim]

ahah hope someone translates this... even if they are just BS subtitles

[cagedtigersteve]

I don't know what he was saying, but I laughed too.

[iosononapoletanovero]

@cagedtigersteve me too hahha

[nurotic]

[NWsubmom]

I know how the poor guy feels when that happens.

It really hard to stop, once it gets started.

LOL!

[Aarongrubbworm]

LOL

[deveousdevil]

giggity giggity gooo ooo!!!

[fhury78dk]

[Ganeschar]

He had tough time lately and now he had to refer about ingredients of a certain sausage called "Bündnerfleisch" and boosted out which an affect of relief in Swiss Parliament. BTW the only country in Europe out of Finland with women majority in Excuutive.

[melindaforyou]

i really never understand what he said but the way he acted made me laugh my ass out =)

[codyjt5150]

"who gives a shit about the war in iraq, starving children, murder, rape, and important stuff, lets show lindsay lohan getting out of jail and the swiss prime minister laughing about sex and tits" AP team

[dangermous1968]

@codyjt5150 thats right..lets!

[dickhuffer3]

this is news??

[VariusMayhem]

I think we all saw enough of him laughing over this BS-text no one understands. That video got reuploaded and reuploaded... I was funny the first 5 times, but now it's annoying...

[thekiller678]

Just a regular person

[hypnofan35]

Dangit.... this is what happens when you legalize pot...We need 9 kinds of serious over here.

[1019drummer]

"I get to die rich".......I'd laugh my ass off ass well.

[BrianEaZy]

@Renathra That is not what he said you turd ball!

[showaltermicro]

Pot will do that

[Capristar100]

he´s talking abour some swiss sausages with peper or whatever !man german in high scool was worth it i could understand what he said ! think dude was drunk

[VicRattlehead6655]

Its about the import of some spiced sausages ... as far as i know.

[KlingonSpider]

I think he farted or something and could smell it. i dont know

[MathewTitus]

The guy is having a stroke - and people are laughing!

Then again, he's speaking in German... and when the Swiss speak German...

....it always sounds funny...

[iknewitalready]

Laughter increases human lifespan.

[iknewitalready]

Lighter mood in politics.

Absurdity in reality causes laughter.

[booooboooo2010]

rofl

[iknewitalready]

Universal language of Laughter.

[NowForTruth]

LOL classic conntagious

[Bobofet241]

Bless his heart.I don't speak the language but I laughed till I cried.

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

@Bobofet241 It is really funny, because he starts breaking into German and back to Swiss and back to German. He has to keep refering to the laws by Chapter, Paragraph, Subpara, Clause, Subclause, Articles, and on and on - legal mumbo jumbo, and ends up with, for example "bunderfleisch", which is some strange Swiss spicy meat they pay heaps for. They are probably laughing, as he is breaking into German all the time, instead of speaking proper Swiss.
