"Oh snap!" in American is kind of hard to explain. It can be an expression of shock or surprise, it is frequently used by third parties when two people are having an argument and one totally pwns the other or makes some really valid point. Kind of like, "Whoa! Who saw that one coming?!"

Dear Sir,

I am neither American nor English but I find your use of the (for the lack of a better word) word "pwns" in an explanation of either of these languages to be highly offensive. Please redact this travesty forthwith, or at the very least publish an apology in your next issue.

Yours sincerely,

Pam Owens,

Dear Sir,

I object strongly to the letters on your forum.

They are clearly not written by the general public and are merely included for a cheap laugh.

Yours sincerely,

William Knickers.

Dear Mr. President,

There are too many states nowadays.  Please eliminate three. 

I am not a crackpot.

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah.

Any sketch comedy is going to be hit or miss. RC usually bats it out of the park on their Trek and SW parodies though. This one is pure genius...

This one could've been good, if it wasn't for the fact that they probably used Google Translate to write these nonsensical lyrics. They would've been better off singing "Mozzarella pomodoro Espresso", that at least would've been funny. What I hear in the video is so far off from what they're supposed to say it's distracting. But hey, as long as it sounds foreign!... don't need to do actual research!
The voices are good, they're in tune and operatic, the music sounds decent, why not go the extra centimeter and get someone competent to translate them properly??? These things piss me off!!

It's like Family Guy

Ah, that's why I can't watch it.

yeah, but

without the pretense of having a plot

I hate Family Guy too, but I don't mind Robot Chicken, it's just quick little ideas and vignettes. It's hit and miss though...

...Yeah, on the other hand, you're better off watching South Park.
