This public access show out of Austin, TX was intended as an instructional video for non-English speakers.
Are they assuming that all non-English speakers are retarded?

There’s a drunken man in the house!
Sure, you learn to speak English, but you come away with so many unanswered questions!
I don’t really quite see the joke here, but maybe I’ve tooken too many foreign language classes to see this kind of structure as unusual.
And it’s important that non-English speakers know the proper way to conjugate “to flee”. It’s one of the most basic irregular verbs there are.
Seriously, this video needs an MST3K treatment.
I taught ESL. My kids would have gotten big laughs out of this. And no, they were not retarded. Except for the ones who were born here and were put in ESL instead of Special Ed because of their last names and inability to read or write English.
Looks like someone is trying to rip off Everything is Terrible’s shtick… Annoying watermarks and trailers included.
