This doesn't feel like a real interview. The host's laughter seems fake; the camera work looks preplanned; the audience isn't reacting to the host's laughter. This may turn out to be sketch comedy, or some other scripted event.

From a comment on Youtube, this is fake?

"The 'interviewer' is an actor, called Tom Van Dyck, the man with the high voice is also an actor, Lucas Van Den Eynde and the woman sitting next to him is An miller, an actress. It's a sketch for 'In De Gloria', a Belgian program."

Not verified. Take it for what it's worth.

They often seem unable to tell reality from parody, whether it's this or Reno 911, and I believe there was one other but it escapes me.

Ok - THAT is hilarious!

I just added a line that clarifies that we're not verifying it's authenticity (we're not; I saw the questions raised about it, too). It looks like parody to me, but it's amusing, and we didn't want to kill the joke with too much set-up.

KL

This is hilarious! I completely disagree with the comment that the host's laughing sounded forced. I found myself laughing exactly the same way right along with him.

One of the best things about this is since we have no freaking idea what they're discussing, and they could in fact be actors, it frees you to simply get into the spirit of the joke and convulse along with the host.

Fabulous find.

I wasn't completely sure until the second man started to speak. One guy sounds like Mickey Mouse and the other like Froggy from the Little Rascals?! Naw, this is definitely comedy.

Sorry, that memory just bubbled up from my college dorm dining center days.

...I think. The word that appears in the bottom right corner, 'KVIKMYND', is the Icelandic word for 'film clip', according to the online Icelandic-to-English translator I used.

Hmm. An American-style daytime talk show on Iceland TV, maybe? You know, the ones where the guest tells his or her personal sob story before a live audience? I'm guessing the topic of the day is vocal/speech disorders.

And for the record, I think it's legit. The only thing that puzzles me is how the audience remains stone-faced at the hosts complete lack of, shall we say, decorum.

Any other theories?

this seems to be a joke, but here is a translation

Host: You had a normal live before, and…

Woman: yes..

Host: and all of a sudden you wake up from anaesthesia and you realise that life won’t be the same, how do you react to that?

Woman: well in the first place there was disbelief

Man interrupts: (with very high-pitched voice): disbelief is actually the right word for it

Host: (breaks out in laughter over the man’s voice) excuse..

Man: disbelief is actually the right word, that Marijke uses here

Host: (chuckles)

Man: it was also for me the first thought, that I thought: ‘this can’t be, this..

Woman cries

Host burst out in laughter: excuse me…excuse me.. excuse me. You uhm try again to address your future (giggles, can’t stop giggling) sorry

Man: I really don’t understand what is happening here..

Host: sorry, really sorry, excuse me ladies and gentlemen. That means also that for instance sexuality becomes a big problem for you

Woman: yes my boyfriend has stopped with it and I can’t blame him for that..

Man: yes the fact if you..

Host: (chuckles)

Man: when you are dealing with sex it’s not only the physical part but also the sweet words and…

Host: (totally looses control over himself) hahahahahahahahaha

Man: well I think this is totally inadmissible…I mean: do we have to answer him or not? …

Host: hahahahahahaha

Woman: (inaudible)

Man: (inaudible)

Host: Hahah, please excuse me, people at home, please excuse me I wanted a question from the audience, and … Yes sir, you have a question sir?

Man 2: (with very low hoarse voice) I have the same….

Host: (breaks out in laughter yet again)

Man 2: (inaudible)…and during the operation I’ve also been hurt on my vocal chords

Host keeps laughing

Man and man 2: I think this is not admissible

"Perhaps it's jealousy that you have such a great, care-free job."

It *is* great, but not all that care-free. It's 10 p.m. and I'm checking the Comments section, for example.

Spoof indeed. From "In de Gloria", out of Belgium.

(The sketch that this clip is taken from is about survivors of medical accidents)

[Interviewer]: "You had a normal life before then, and then, bam, you come out of narcosis and you notice life won't be similar anymore. How do you react to that?"

[Woman]: "First with disbelief..."

[Man (in High Voice)]: "Disbelief is actually the right word, ..."

(interrupted by laughter)

[Man continues]: "... disbelief is the right word that Marijke uses here because at first I thought 'that can't be', 'that ...'"

(more laughter)

[Interviewer]: "Excuse me. Excuse me ladies and gentlemen."

[Interviewer]: "So you try, as far as your future goes, ..."

(laughter)

[Man]: "I really don't understand ..."

[Interviewer]: "Excuse me. Sorry. My apologies ladies and gentlemen. (recovers) That means that sexuality also becomes a problem...?"

[Woman]: "Yes, my boyfriend left me."

[Man]: "The fact is, that when your talking about sex, it's not just about the physical, but also the sweet talk ..."

(raucous laughter)

...and so forth for another minute of the clip.

I've seen this before.

The man with the high voice had been castrated by mistake. That's what he's talking about.

Ok, without the translation, or especially the info from Geo's post about the context, how is this thing in the least bit funny? I mean, it's just a guy laughing for 2 minutes. What's interesting about that? Is it that people are talking with funny voices?

If this comes out of Belgian, I think it must be in Flemish, which would fit. I thought it sounded it Dutch, and could almost understand it, since I speak German, which is really close.

Although understanding bits and pieces made it funnier, I only found really laughed when the guy with the "I've been drinking gasoline for the last 20 years" voice spoke. Before then the old stone-faced people made me nervous it was real (except I'm sure they would have made a pause had the interviewer really lost it like this).
