Why is bad English so funny? This picture is probably from a Japanese airport. Restrooms are toilets, and "behind" is another word for the part of your body that you use for sitting on. You can find lots of funny bad English in your town (try the Tourist Information Screen in the park or the Rules of conduct at your local swimming pool). I have a collection of funny mistakes from students, too. But when it comes to really funny bad English, I think El Principe Gitano takes the cake. Have you ever heard his rendition of the Elvis hit "In the Ghetto". It's priceless. Here it is in karaoke format for your enjoyment. It's in "three languages", English, Spanish, and El Principe's own "pichinglish".

Hahaha, funny video, he uses the "Abrigos pardos" method.
A bad english I know is the "All your base are belong to us" phrase (a bad translation of a Japanese video game). I know of it in 2006 when in a YouTube stop service they put this phrase transformed with the word video instead of base.
