True, but bad karma for insulting the labor.

I think they are actors.

Isn't this argument about 4 years old?

I do love how he explains the translations of the words, though.

^It may be an old argument, but the delivery and the actual wording of it is brilliant.

Plus, it's Paul Rudd, so, you know, instant awesomeness

This joke is presented very well so I don't automatically hate it. But it's not getting any of my love. The premise has never been very interesting.

I'm perfectly happy with the small, medium and large, so upvote from me.

"Venti does NOT mean large."

If you don't like it, Potsy, sit on it.

And don't fk with people trying to be civil and do a job. It's cowardly.

Hm. First time I've ever heard that. I don't drink coffee, or anything close to coffee, so that probably explains why.

upvote for: "Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages".

hah thats great.

We all know venti means 20 and we all know Americans couldn't possibly remember sedici for 16 oz cups and dodici for 12 oz orders. So what's the big deal? Hack up 3 languages into bite-sized pieces so that we can all be ignorant but feel worldly at the same time.

If I ever own a restaurant, the drinks will come in three sizes: Huge, Massive, and Gargantuan.

I would argue that the labor insulted him first with the ever-infuriating "Uh... a what? Do you mean a VENTI?" comment.

I order a 'large' at Starbucks all the time. They know what I mean. And if the girl behind the counter isn't sure, she just holds up a cup and says "Is the 20oz okay?"

Trying to make customers use your lingo is not good customer service.

Totally agree with soulmonarch here. My brother happens to be a barista, and can tell you anyone ordering a "large" gets the big cup. It's pretty simple. I myself say large whenever I get dragged into one of these places, and don't expect any lip from the help. If ever I do (and now I hope I do), I will gladly repeat this, and hope they don't recognize it from the movie Role Models.

Awesome!

I think more americans, and canadians, and brits, and europeans and anyone else who drinks stupidly named coffee beverages should be forced to watch this video over and over until they learn that ordering anything other than a long or a short espresso in an espresso bar is bloody ridiculous.

Ok, from what I can tell:

"Tall" means taller than "Short", which is a size that isn't on their menu but which you can probably still order.

"Grande" in Italian actually does translate to "Large" in English according to the Google translator.

"Venti" means 20, as in a "20oz" drink. Hot "Venti" drinks are 20oz, and cold "Venti" drinks are 24oz (extra 4oz of ice).


As far as the joke itself, it's pretty funny until he directly insults the girl behind the register... most of the skit could have been done better, but perhaps that is just my personal sense of humor.

Trying to make customers use your lingo is not good customer service.

At an airport once I tried to order a "small" drink at some fast food place (Burger King I think) and was told that they didn't carry that size, just "medium, large, and extra large."

I ended up paying them in pennies, just in case they needed "medium" change.

I would argue that throwing a shit-fit over something as insignificant as that makes the man look like a pouty little bitch.

...and a point taken away for completely misunderstanding humor. Evolutionary.

I might argue that throwing a shit-fit over something as insignificant as a clip from a dumb comedy movie does the same.

with an attitude like that, he'd get his coffee back with a venti lugie in it.

You can. A short is 8 ounces, and is available at most every coffee shop, though they're guaranteed to gouge you on the price.

I don't mind that he insults the girl. He called her stupid, and it's true. If she was intelligent, she'd either be working somewhere other than Starbucks, or she would at least understand that venti does not mean large.

Plus! The wife feeling bad for the girl just got her a big tip. Probably the best tip she had all day, except for the tip about learning something instead of being stupid forever. For both tips, she can thank Paul Rudd.

Mine would be Single Serving, Double Serving, and Fat Fuck.

My employees would be trained to encourage people to order the Fat Fuck ("Would you like to Fuck that up?"), then act disgusted when people inevitably go for it. They would receive bonuses for doing this well.

It quite fascinated me when i moved to the city. The closer i get to the center, the more difficult it becomes to get a bloody coffee.
It kind of evolves from 'coffee, please' to 'a medium coffee, please' and ends in a 'a medium black coffee, no sugar, no cookie, no milk on the side, please'.

Damn right, and there would be no 'fun' size in sight.

What, no Mammoth? Bladder Buster? How about Oh Shit!

If Kronosposeiden ever owned a restaurant drinks would all contain massive amounts of alcohol, even the non-alcoholic ones.

heh. this reminded me of bruce willis' coffee franchise idea. I can't sift it coz selflink.

how is this cooking?

Rougy -

In the movie, this exchange is meant to make the guy look like a dick - that's the beat in this scene.

I think my favorite part is the throwaway line, "Do you accept Lira? Or is it all Euros?"
