Sargent: _Shrugs in French_ Police: _Shrugs in German_ Drunk: _Shrugs in Spanish_ Ricky: _Shrugs in English_

The actor who plays the drunk is Vincente Padula. Born in Argentina, he moved to Mexico in the mid 1930's and made several Mexican films. He also did much work for Walt Disney, dubbing various cartoons and films into Spanish. Padula moved to the United States in 1949 and thereafter made a career out of playing foreign characters of various languages on TV and in movies. Padula also kept busy working for studios dubbing American films into Spanish.

This scene is so funny. It makes me laugh and laugh every time I see it. it was pure Genius of the writers to come up with this. I saw a video on KZread when they won their first Emmy for I Love Lucy. Lucy and Desi both commented that they should have an Emmy for the writers as well. After seeing this, I definitely think that they are right.

This skit was pure genius.

The gift of bilingual languages Lucy’s real lucky.

The second Paris policeman who spoke French & German was priceless. As my late grandfather would say”man he’s telling them facts!”

How the cop in the background didn't laugh is beyond me.

Lucy and Vivian Vance dressed so beautifully in this series. Their clothes are classic.

This is one of the most iconic and classic scenes of I Love Lucy that is forgotten so much

...now that's classic, classic writing!!...😉

I love how the guys even reenact each other’s gestures.

One of the best skits ever on TV!

This is one of the best scenes along with the chocolate factory scene, the rice scene with fred and ricki, and the vitametavegamin comercial. Some of the best scenes ever. 😂😂😂😂😂

As an aspiring translator this my absolute favorite scene from this series

I grew up watching this on Nick at nite and it was one of my all time favorite routines. It became so much more perfect for me that I grew up to become a linguist. I still refer to this bit all the time. It’s a true work of genius.

OMG this is BRILLIANT. I'm 32 and I remember watching reruns of this on Nick at night when I was a kid and it was entertaining enough when there was nothing on but holy shit that I not appreciate this show. This is fantastic

I'm from Texas but raised in Germany, and I saw this episode as a very young kid (8ish?). It's the most memorable episode of I Love Lucy I ever watched. I speak English and German and I understand Spanish and French. As a kid, my eyes popped out of my head on this scene and my entire family laughed HARD!

I was thinking if this scene recently because there was an MMA fight in China, the English commentator was interviewing a Russian fighter to a Chinese crowd. Each question and answer had to go through the English-to-Russian translator, then the English-to-Chinese translator. You could hear the Chinese crowd laugh because of the chain of translation.

Once in the San Francisco area, a Tartar had been accused of assault by a Spaniard. But the trial was delayed because the Tartar and his witnesses could not speak English. Finally they found a Tartar who could speak Chinese, and a Chinese who could speak Spanish. So the trial proceeded in four languages.

One of the greatest scenes in television.

The drunk speaks with an Argentinian accent. I don't know about his German but I'd guess is good cuz a lot of people in Argentina are of German descent. This is one of the funniest scenes of ILL.

How anyone could hate this is beyond me! I know a little Spanish, so I tried keeping up with Ricky and German Guy this time and was pleasantly surprised.

I first saw this episode when I was about 11 or 12, in the early 60's. It was hilarious. I saw it again 10 years later after I had learned German and French and it was hilarious. I subsequently saw it once or twice more by only but chance before KZread. Now I can simply call it up and it is just as hilarious as it ever was. And I still wonder how the heck that drunk managed to wander around the streets of Paris with only Spanish and German. But hey, Paris is for lovers.

This scene is even better if you know at least one more of the other languages haha

This is one of the most hilarious scenes I have ever seen! Thanks for uploading!!

Came to this video because of the Frasier episode called "An Affair to Forget" where they had to translate multiple languages...

One of my favorite scenes and episodes, lol. Bob, Bob, Bob and Madelyn (the I Love Lucy writing team, aka "3 Bobs and a Babe") were geniuses coming up with this stuff. Nothing on TV even comes close to this nowadays. I wonder if this was an old vaudeville gag or they came up with it on their own?
