I know many of you here are Canadian, and probably bilingual, and probably very
*cultured.* I'm just curious, for the more *cultured* and *learned* of you,
whether the language being spoken in the "Feelyat" sketch is an actual language
or whether it was made up.

And, if you really love me, you'll tell me what some of it means.

I'm not canadian or cultured, but it sounded liek a mix of mostly german, a
little bit of english and a wee bit of spanish. But hey i'm from Illinois, so
I'm most likely wrong.

I love this skit. I understood some of the words as English, and I thought
the rest were German.
But what do I know?? I'm just a silly American........

Canadian -- yes.

Bilingual -- should be, but no. Hell, I *should* be trilingual, but
I'm not. <g>

Cultured -- hell NO! ;)

I always thought that the "Feelyat" language was some Germanic-like
babble with English mixed in.

yeah, it's pretty much what you would call jibberish. there was some dutch i
think too... basically they just used words they'd heard and made up the rest.

The best part was that news bulletin was about a flood, there were clips of
people in trees and then they showed a clip of sharks. LOL. That was great. I
wonder where that tape is...

Well, I'm not Canadian, but I thought it was pretty obvious that
"Feelyat!" was pure gibberish, with the odd English word thrown in to give the
audience at least a modicum of comprehension. But some people apparently still
think that the Monty Python "Funniest Joke" is real German, so what do I know?
Loved the scene with the sharks in the Rhine (accompanied by sonar sounds,
no less).

Does anyone know who wrote the Feelyat sketch? I always assumed it was Mark.

And, does anyone remember a poster from a LONG time ago by the name of Judy
("Judy Geezum", to me), who once sat down and transcribed the ENTIRE Feelyat
sketch? Every blessed word of gibberish?

I wish I had a copy of it somewhere. Does anyone?

Most of the skit is in pseudo-Danish with some German, Dutch and Swedish thrown in.
