Talking about language … the English language. #letstalk #humor

This is awesome
As a linguistic anthropology major I find this extremely entertaining:)
This is the best linguistics lesson I've ever seen. Unorthodox, but very effective. "There's language and there's speaking…There's chess and there's a
game of chess" I'm not sure that's the example De Saussure used when
describing langue and parole hahaha. And describing creativity with a piano as an example…brilliant. I don't know why I wasted my time on Uni. This is much better. My professor would've never accepted the definition of language to be "The creak on a stair."
Marjorie is dead!
I want to try and understand this video. I'd hate to, but may I, may I?
"Capable."
I love this is so much that I had memorised all the dialogue and would continually repeat this sketch saying the complete dialogue along with them. I miss doing that…
Not sure if Wittgenstein would be impressed or angrily befuddled.
And yet, Oh.. and yet.. All of us spend all of our days saying the same old things to each other time after weary time".. I love you, don't go in there, get out, you have no right to say that, stop it, why should I, that hurts, help Majorie is dead"
I started watching English comedy when I was about 20, this is one of the first sketches I remember watching and it's still my favourite.
I swear one day I'll be able to understand every damn word

2:37 is my favorite part. And also my reaction to this skit.
This character is based on an actual linguist. I saw the sketch back in middle school, and then shortly after my English teacher showed us a video, and there was a guy interviewed with the same bowl haircut and affect of speech. I've been trying to figure out who is is for years.
