Laughed until I cried because I can see the bemused Austrian Tourist Board member trying to diligently answer the question and the conversation between the two in the office was quite typical and funny...
I think we should have TallDwarf combine his phone sex post with this one just for the fun of it.
I hadn't noticed this thread before, but found it when searching for something else on TBD.
Graham Norton (the guy in the clip) is one of the funniest characters to be on BBC TV right now and his programmes are all like that.
He is one of the few I bother to turn the TV on for. Two weeks ago he had Tony Curtis on and Curtis was helpless. Last week he had Martin Sheen who literally fell off his chair at one point he was so creased up.
In the first opening moments Graham used the word "crap" and Sheen looked genuinely horrified and asked "Can you say that here?" to which Graham replied "You can say what the F*** you want - and more."
At the end of every series they put on a programme of the "out-takes" and believe me, they have to be seen to be believed. I'm not really surprised that his shows are not shown in the prudish States, but then again, his show doesn't lend itself to being interrupted every few minutes for a commercial.
The guests are well aware that Graham just cannot be scripted and although I deprecate gratuitous use of the F word, sometimes the resulting chaos that descends on the programme often makes the tears roll down my cheeks.
Actually, he is also on BBC America, for those interested, on Saturday nights at 10 EDT. It's good to know this isn't a year old for the American BBC channel, like it used to be. The Martin Sheen episode was on last Saturday night.
He's been on in the "prudish" States for a couple of years now, and uncensored.
As funny as he seems to be, I'm still a bigger fan of Eddie Izzard.

hope that you can see this it is the google map for Fucking, 5121 Tarsdorf...and all the roads leading to.

Well, not all the roads are Fucking Road. One is Haid - but Haid leads to Fucking, as it often does...
Oh yeah, Graham Norton is incredible. And Roseanne looked like she just couldn't believe what was going on...

And talk about plastic surgery....Rosanne Barr is a walking advertisement.

Okay, that was actually funny - I'm not thrilled with the over use this days of the "F" word but I did laugh out loud...

I am wondering now if there is a tourist office in Intercourse, Pennsylvania (?)

Yes, it is amusing.
A lesson is before we name our children, businesses or charitable organizaton and more, check first meaning of a world in different languages.
I give you another example as to word "PUPA"
Pupa is latin word for a doll.
Pupa according to Brittanica online is a life stage in the development of insects exhibiting complete metamorphosis
There is line of cosmetics and fragrances called Pupa, there is a charitable organization called Pupa and more..
Monarch Watch: Biology- The freshly exposed pupa is very soft and delicate until hardens.
Do you think that's why in Polish Pupa means "ASS"

Ps. I know that a first word which came to your mind was a penis.

He is a very, very funny man.

Britscot, we get him on BBC. That is by cable or satellite. But definitely not on PBS. (lol)
