[TennVol92]

In Soviet Russia cobas cut you.

[SirTimothyMarton]

@TennVol92 its kolbasz in hungarian but yeah XD

[silentclowns]

The "Chicken Molnar" bit is actually a clue from an episode of "Take a Good Look" that aired in the spring of 1960. The secret guest was Alonzo Fields, who had been the chief butler at the Whitehouse for 23 years.

[elfinmajictime]

Yes, Ernie himself was Hungarian!! 

[mbutchin]

He reminds me of mine Barto Bacsi....

[laggie24]

Husi ... itt a video amiről beszéltem ... pusz...pusz

[laggie24]

OHHHHHHH "IGEN"YESS ... he speaks hungarian... I bet the foreighners watching this haven't a clue about the ingredents....

Now watch this carefully more than twice to be able to cook this soup.... haaaa

p.s. small portion of Scotch...haaaa ... I wonder now what would he call a big portions....haaa

[nokomarie1963]

Kitchen scotch? Sounds like my mother on the holidays.

[rolko52]

@nokomarie1963 - He is actually saying "kissi" in Hungarian. It translate to the English word "slighlty".

[joechristopher2]

Pure genius. Movie of his life starring Jeff Goldblum. Based on what he went through with wife # 1, you've got to wonder how he was able to do all this.

[dybbuk4640]

strangely reminiscent of borat ... wonder if he watched this ...

[GSUKat]

@dybbuk4640 I thought the same thing!!!!

[dybbuk4640]

@GSUKat here's another analogy... did you ever notice that peter lorre looks like a combination of sal mineo and oscar levant?

[zackhanscom]

he's not a genius. television just isn't inventive enough so we're still stuck with the boring, unfunny format he invented.

[zzGRENDELzz]

@zackhanscom - you're an idiot.

[yogafan6500]

Here's my Gordon Ramsay version of Chicken Molnar. 1 Full Chicken, Caper, Olive, Kobas, Put Chicken in bowl with Carrots, Parsley, Garlic, Make sauce with Scotch, Bourbon, Rye, Bor. cook 20 minutes toss chicken drink sauce. Done. Intresting.

[itjustfigures]

This never gets old! I wish Mr. Kovacs hadn't died so long ago. Cheers to Ernie, Percy Dovetonsils, Chef Molnar, Auntie Gruesome, etc!

[popomatic1970]

LMAO!! Janosh Daniels!! so much of this went over my head when I was a kid watching Kovacs reruns.. the man was a genius

[bachterman]

ümlauts rüle! :)

[looser8908]

csirke iz csiken pulyka iz törki :D

[Csongesztor]

Mondjuk a bort írhatta volna rendesen bör helyett.

[Csongesztor]

"Vi sztoff inszájd csirke " Ez se magyarul se angolul nem tud XD De baromi jó. "Kát kolbász lájk disz ván tájm, lájk disz ván tájm"

[attilaphoto]

Any number but make sure it's Fahrenheit :D LOL

[yogafan6500]

Happy Birthday, Ernie Kovacs. Had he lived he'd be 91 this week.

[ze11er]

[andreasue]

János Deniels XD

[TheIntruder2001]

He speaks hungarian very well especially because he was born in the United States. Thanks for uploading!

[artcitywow]

[FijneWIET]

Huh... this is astonishing!

I didn't know The Swedish Chef used to be The Russian/Hungarian Chef..

(Börk Börk Börk)

[youngr33zy15]

hes actually speaking hungarian. thats pretty cool

[deutschesmaedchen]

god this is genius!

[martinimerlin]

This may have been the inspiration for Jim Varney's "Cooking With Wine" routine.

I saw Varney do his cooking routine, years before his fame with the "Ernest" movies and commercials. Varney's "chef" was a wino, who would do recipes. He would read letters from viewers. The punchline of the skit was when he read a letter asking why his recipes never had wine as an ingredient.

Varney's answer was, "I do not cook with wine...I cook under the influence of wine!"

[yogafan6500]

The best ingredients includes..Scotch, Bourbon, Rye,& Good Hungarian Bor. along with the Roast Chicken makes a good Chicken Molnar. "Take out Chicken, Drink Sauce"

[richiepiep]

He looks like the inspiration for the Swedish Muppet Show cook! What a versatile comedian. He was a major source of inspiration for Terry Gilliam. Unlike the Pythons, he got the Hungarian right, as far as I can judge, because he was of Hungarian descent! Chicken is indeed 'csirke', turkey is 'pulyka', garlic is 'fokhagyma', wine is 'bor' (without the comic(?) diaeresis). I also found the 'kolbász' intriguing. They are known as 'kielbasa' in Poland and the USA, and as 'kovbasa' in Ukraine.

[wmbrown6]

@richiepiep - It may have something to do with Gilliam thinking that Kovacs was of Czech descent, as I seem to recall him saying in an interview.

[TimelordR]

@richiepiep Many thanks for the Hungarian lesson, barát!

[sylviekell]

@richiepiep I was thinking the Swedish Chef myself!

[WindHarps]

Perfect recipe for my Friday night!

[rolko52]

Especially the Janos Daniels!
