I think I have too much time on my hands...I found this:

I hope that works!

Joe

That is pretty darn cool! Interesting find, Joe!

That is too cool!
Now, can anyone speak German? lol [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Online translators still have a way to go.
Something about

"KITT? Should we get one more drink?"
"How can I drive again?"


Here's my guess as to how the humor would translate into english:

Michael: "One more for the road KITT?"
KITT: "You better drive"


But I'll leave it to the linguists out there.

Mike

alright.. i know german, but i'm not the best at it. this is what i got translating it to the best of my ability:

michael: "and KITT? should we go get a drink?"
KITT: "ah, yes. and should i drive us?"

pfft, i failed my german exam second year. that's what i think it says, anyway.

KITT

Your version definitely makes a lot more sense KITT. But it's just doesn't sound that funny to me.

Mike

I'm wondering if it's to do with some German
anti drink driving campaign, and maybe the
cartoon isn't really meant to be funny.

No, but michael sure looks hilarious.

... german answer ...

Hi Folks!

Now I found this interesting forum - and this topic! Just as if it would have been made for me ;-) Still people out there who wonna understand the joke? (my german is a little better than my english ;-))

Waiting for reply - Phil from Frankfurt,Germany

Yes please, enlighten us! And welcome to the board!

Michael Pajaro was very close:

Michael: "So, Kitt? What about going out for a drink?"
Kitt(bored): "...yeah, and I have to drive again, I guess"

I hope you understand a little better - it`s quite hard to translate because the joke also lies in the language (if you know what I mean)
Every disco-night`s discussion between me and my friends: "Who is going to drive back?" - KITT would be very useful in those situations...

Cya, Phil

Of course, in this lay the golden opportinuity to write in your own jokes...

away from the linguistics of the topic (big word for this time of day...)

anyone notice the way the TA nose was drawn, and then the custom peice 'stuck on' afterwards at the front?

Really? I thought that person looked more like Joe Schmole, the generic & unknown cartoon character then it resembled...anyone.

Knight Shadow from Germany should give us his opinion on this cartoon.

Hey I wanna know y Kitt has two front ends in this cartoon? Anyone else notice this?

I think 'Manwhodoesnotexist' mentioned it earlier in this post as it being funny that it looks like the original nose and the added nose stick out in the cartoon.

Probably another little subtle in-joke of some sort from the cartoonist.
