So funny!!! That was actually a very typical reaction for a Estonian to have if they got a call like this. If they *would* have told him that he won a car or something - it would have been the same reaction, i promise you! You could actually tell that the boy was speaking with a grin on his face, but probably just didn't know what he should say :)
@xxxamydollxxx People are taking that throw-away comment too seriously. He didn't mean it in an arrogant or mean way. I absolutely ADORE Eddie Izzard, but Harry said nothing wrong or hurtful here. Eddie Izzard does wear dresses, and Harry Shearer does talk to himself. End of story.
well, it's in europe. the thing about most countries in europe, even if people speak english, if it's not the main language of the country, most things are dubbed. it's very difficult to see television or films in their original languages with subtitles. (in fact, eddie did a stand-up bit about that once).
@FunkMashina He's just saying that it he has seen it not dubbed, but rather sub-titled, in countries where English is not the principle language. Obviously he has not seen the broadcast that is in Estonia, so he was making an educated guess about whether or not it would be dubbed or subtitled. I'm not sure why you got 9 thumbs up.
@EllenRebecca3 It's spelled Urmas Salu though he mispronounced it. And i bet he was exited. Listen carefully - you can *hear* him smiling. He probably just didn't know what else to say :)
Hey! What was Harry Shearer doing in my city - Belgrade? Is the voice of Mr Burns good for motivational speeches to our politicians? Our current prime minister essentially is young mr Burns turned flesh, he even does the same thing when he puts his fingers together. And the suppository that is currently occupying the position of our interior minister is like Smithers, only closeted - but still deeply and creepily in love with his boss. The more I think about it, the more similarities I see. I'm no longer sure whether I live in Belgrade or Springfield.
eddie izzard seems like such a nice guy
wooohooo!! Belgrade! Had no idea he's been here, and it's true, we do use subtitles, and i love the simpsons and EDDIE!!!

he wasn't being arrogant or ignorant. He was making a joke. Eddie's a comedian with tough skin, he can take it.
So sweet, the legomovie!
hahha "of course he's home... he made that"
what a cool lego vid! :)

They're using those examples to suggest that it might not be dubbed in Estonia, since it wasn't dubbed in other countries they'd seen the show in.
@FunkMashina
He was referring to the foreign versions of The Simpsons.

You broadcast the DTMF tones. Now everyone knows his phone number.
I have a feeling that the Urmas kid made the same Lego animations of Eddie's stand-up skits. Don't you think?
