He used to be Alex in Hollyoakes and was very much British. A quick google says his name is Martino Lazzeri so fair to say he's British with Italian blood. Either way this episodes brilliant.
In another episode they get real Japanese people to speak Japanese... here they get somebody who pretends to be Italian... that's a bummer, because this scene is HILARIOUS
Vorrei dire la mia: ho visto questo episodio quando non parlavo ancora l'italiano e l'ho trovato molto divertente. Ora che lo rivedo anni dopo lo trovo ancora divertente anche se il tizio 'italiano' distrae un po' dalla commedia perché è ovvio che non è un vero italiano. Ma figuratevi: la serie è stata fatta per gli inglesi dei quali soltanto 1% sa parlare la lingua italiana. È per questo motivo che i produttori non erano interessati a trovare un attore italiano.
Antonio Ulix Davvero? Io sono argentino ma parlo italiano, e sebbene si veda che il ragazzo non è italiano per il suo accento, io ho capito tutto quello che diceva. Forse è più difficile di capire per gli italiani? Strano
Io sono Italiano e lo capisco ma in effetti è un po' brutto da sentirlo. Non è affatto il nostro accento e si esprime male grammaticalmente. Si è perfino dimenticato di coniugare un verbo (quando dice: "Io non capire niente in questa signora" quando normalmente dovrebbe essere "Io non capisco niente da questa signora").
@@mikestar5582 onestamente penso che la mancanza del verbo coniugato sia l'ultimo dei suoi problemi nel parlare italiano... Ma è stato divertente dai, per qualsiasi italiano vero
It's completely unbelievable that this Italian came up that high in business world apparently without understanding a signle world of English, to at least communicate to others that Jen is bullshiting. Fortunately the scene is so hillarious it doesn't matter.
@garethb1961 I think what is annoying wilondon83 is that Jen has a better accent (almost perfect) than the actor who is supposed to be italian (its awwwful)
Yes his name is Martino Lazzeri and he used to be in The Lodge, Grange Hill and Eastenders. British born and sadly a bit of a far-right nut according to his Twitter.
I hate when people get so precious and bitchy about their language. He was speaking Italian with a heavy English accent and all the Italians in the comments "I UNDERSTOOD NOTHING". Us Brits can understand you Italians when you speak English with your EXTREMELY STRONG Italian accents, stop pretending that guy was incomprehensible 😅 I showed this this to a group of my Italian friends and they understood him perfectly.

@garethb1961 it's ridiculous because the whole situation could have been more credible if the italian partner was actually played by a real Italian actor. It doesn't make any sense now.
I’m sure if I had watched this before I started learning Italian I would have found it funny, but seriously his Italian is worse than mine. Which is really saying something ...
The guy who plays the Italian businessman is half Italian. He's speaking Italian with an English accent. It'd be like one of you lot learning French and speaking it with an English/Scottish/Welsh etc accent.

I'm italian and I had to read English subtitles to understand what the Italian guy was saying.
MrTiuzza The same as me :')
I don't think he's actually Italian, more like an Englishman speaking Italian
he's an english actor he was in grange hill
I don't speak Italian (can sing 3 songs though) and I cringed at him talking, he is SO not Italian haha.
But you understood the interpreter, right? :D
I love it how she resorts to just speaking english with an accent 😂
Jen's Italian accent is better than the Italian guy's ...
He's spanish in italy
He's not Italian at all
This "Italian" sounds Spanish
@@monicarollo2462 I was thinking the same.
@@giovannimodica8431
At the beginning it sounded less Spanish
"Never contact me again... because I'm mental". I'm literally dead 😂😂
Nope.
Só there’s an afterlife?! Nice to know.
You're commenting from the afterlife, and this is all you have to say? Come on, man!
Let's take a moment to appreciate that even under pressure, Jen was able to burn Linda.
She acted this out so amazingly. It game me actual anxiety imagining myself in this position.
“Macarena, macchiato, Luca brasi” truer words have never been spoken
It's pure poetry
The classic "clueless interpreter" joke done very well and Jen is so cute!
The best part is at 00:14 when her right eye flutters just before this entire lingual clusterfuck
Never noticed that
“Belatelli and Reynholm Industries... della vela bella, _biggerr_ than _evera.”_ lmao
that """"italian guy"""" is everything BUT italian...
He used to be Alex in Hollyoakes and was very much British. A quick google says his name is Martino Lazzeri so fair to say he's British with Italian blood.
Either way this episodes brilliant.
it must be a twist, on purpose
allora
io volio exestendere uno nuovo welcome al mr benedelli EEEEEEEEEE
macarena macchinato Luca Brasi Gianlucca Vialli Sophia Loren
Jen, I love you.
i thought instead Sophia Loren it was Fiat Punto :D
"i'm sure that can be arranged"
"bela bela arrengela"
I think the funniest part about this is that, not only does Jen get away with her lies, but the woman she hates gets in trouble. XDDD
"Macarena macchiato Gianluca Vialli Sophia Lorèn" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Super Mario!
well I must say *she is very fluent*
"Bella bella arrangella." Lol!!!
Jen's Italian accent is literally much more genuine than his xD
0:41 ...Super Mario 😂
That's my favorite line but it's almost cut out so you can barely hear it!!!
Real Italian actor or not, this is hilarious!
jen makes me laugh :) love this show xD
Never contact me again, because i'm mental 😂
In another episode they get real Japanese people to speak Japanese... here they get somebody who pretends to be Italian... that's a bummer, because this scene is HILARIOUS
He has an Italian name, probably Italian ancestry. He must have done what Jen did, bluffed his way through the audition.
I think that was the joke
“El tu accento un più difficili de capperi.”
Haves tu problema de comprehendere? In facto, illo loquato bene el dialecto de 'non specifica Romana lingua'.
“Il tuo accento è più difficile da capire”
could barely understand what that guy was saying and I speak Italian.. he did not sound native at all haha
Gotta love how Douglas just takes the whole thing at face value
I love how she gets progressively more fluent as the situation gets more tense
It beats me why the Italian bloke speaks Italian with an English accent…
"BastAHdi!"

Joaquin Palomeque Il fatto è che oltre a parlarlo male, è pure sgrammaticato, anche per questo non lo capiamo bene.
ma giuri?

biggerr than everra
Yeah baby
You missed my favorite part: “so far he’s been satisfied with just general laughter! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
"madonna cheolo basiletta" just made my whole month
died when she said luca brasi
I'm not Italian and I can enjoy this.
I miss this show!
0:41 Super Mario.... buhahahahaha
2:12 "non mi aspettavo di essere insultato in giro" i'm starting to think she knows italian better than him
i'm italian and this made me want to eat spaghetti
00:24 "...Gianluca Vialli..."
Hahahahaha! 🤣
I love her voice
This is a class act!
her italian accent is better than his italian 😭😭😭 ma che cosaaaaa
It's completely unbelievable that this Italian came up that high in business world apparently without understanding a signle world of English, to at least communicate to others that Jen is bullshiting. Fortunately the scene is so hillarious it doesn't matter.
The guy WHOA speaks italian is NOT italian ...he spoke broken-italian...
Sorry for bothering. I know nothing about Italian. Could you tell me what the fake Italian says (what's going on) in Italian?
Reece Wu He says "cosa sta succedendo?!!"
Juan Quiroz Well i knew he wasn't italian, i can hear his very heavy english accent
everi bodito parlare brokeno italiano.
l accento italiano è musica
Hopefully joinaforcere, plough uncertaintima
@garethb1961 I think what is annoying wilondon83 is that Jen has a better accent (almost perfect) than the actor who is supposed to be italian (its awwwful)
"Luca Brazzi"
But who speaks better Italian. Jen, or Peter Griffin when he's got a moustache?
The italian guy was born in England, i'm sure about that.
Yes his name is Martino Lazzeri and he used to be in The Lodge, Grange Hill and Eastenders.
British born and sadly a bit of a far-right nut according to his Twitter.
@@MrBooBeeDoo So I checked out his Twitter, and he appears to be what would have been called Conservative 10 years ago.
This is hilarious because her accent is better
Thata fantisticolio humerosia! Jen esta hilario et uno fabulosa attractivio!
Bella bella arrangella. 😂 🤣
She is amazing and hilarious
Il massimo è quando la ragazza dice "bella bella arangella". Che significherà poi ??? :D
"Luca Brasi " lol
I got taken to this video from my school! I'm a GSCE student.
I love how she waffles at 1:23 and then says friend-eh! Amico love, amico..
This reminds me of the classical music episode from season 1.
I think that also another Italian guy should have an interpreter to understand what the (fake) Italian man is saying.
Esatto
Lighten up. Did they question Manuel in Fawlty Towers? Well, there you go then!!
Gianluca Vialli, Super Mario and Sophia Loren LOL
That’s my favorite redhead 🥰
Lol 😂... this is hilarious...
Super Mario! LOL!
Brilliant acting 🤣🤣
merembella arrangella 1:00 HAHAHAhAHAHahah
I'm italian, but i can't understand the italian speaking guy
The IT Crowd
@1:31 Jan's Expression 🥰🥰
@2:16 "For How Long" Soo Innocent 😂😂😂😂😂 He don't Want to Lend his Collection 😂😂😂
Bellissimo!!!!!!!!!
She ended the first sentence with Sophia loren
Gianluca Vialli lmfao
I, as a non-italian, don't really care about him and focus solely on Jen.
caramel macciato, mozarella, pirelli, is funny and that its.
That's how European news sound to me.
Jen was brilliant.

Us Brits can understand you Italians when you speak English with your EXTREMELY STRONG Italian accents, stop pretending that guy was incomprehensible 😅 I showed this this to a group of my Italian friends and they understood him perfectly.

Avrei pagato io piuttosto che sentire la nostra lingua strapazzata
In italy he is spanish
So funny
0:26 RIP UCL winning Juventus captain Gianluca Vialli 🩶🖤
I don't understand Italian so I would like to know if her Italian was a fake/gibberish italian or it was ramdom Italian words?
fake and gibberish with random words
@@alexp8764 Thank you very much.
@wilondon83 I suspect you completely missed the joke here! By the way, what is 'redicululous'?
bella bella arangella
Macarena, Machiatto, Luca Brasi
@garethb1961 it's ridiculous because the whole situation could have been more credible if the italian partner was actually played by a real Italian actor.
It doesn't make any sense now.
I’m sure if I had watched this before I started learning Italian I would have found it funny, but seriously his Italian is worse than mine. Which is really saying something ...
I only know Italian from listening to opera, but even I can tell his accent is way off.
The guy who plays the Italian businessman is half Italian. He's speaking Italian with an English accent. It'd be like one of you lot learning French and speaking it with an English/Scottish/Welsh etc accent.
He speaks broken italian, half of the words he says doesn't even exists in my language, it isn't just the accent
Bernatelli e Reynholm Industries delle velle belle bigerre everre...
RIP Gianluca Vialli
spiders.
what's the name of that show ?
8 years later, but here it is: the IT crowd.

Listeing as italian it would have been more funny if the italian guy spoke with no english accent. By the way she's awesome
The guy who is "Italian" doesn't speak Italian either! That's the fun part for me, being Italian :P
What did jen say :O
"Insultato in giro" this is not Italian D: D: D:
Oh my god this show
