Were they speaking Klingon or something because it definitely didn't make sense as english to me.

Sounds like BS to me.

I am aware of what Klingon is. I was just referring to the fact that it makes so little sense that it might as well be in some alien language.

Which brings us back to: Nobody knows how transmissions work, or even where they come from. They just arrive at car factories in unmarked crates, and the workers put them into cars. Many people believe transmissions are created by beings from other solar systems. There is evidence to support this theory, namely transmission manuals, which contain bizarre diagrams and deranged alien commands.
Deranged aliens? Them B Klingons!

Perhaps they're related to the traffic cone aliens.

OMG, I remember seeing a news show years ago about these aliens. Their leader was named "Beldar". I think the news show might have been "Weekend Update". I'm surprised they are still a problem. I thought by now they would have been put on the next space flight to Remulak.

That was the original "Turbo Encabulator" video. Those ARE the guys that did training videos for Chrysler mechanics. Makes me think that they can do this so well,a without cracking up, because they are good actors, not mechanics, and NEVER know what they are talking about. If you search, you can find newer versions from Chrysler as well as Rockwell. Text doesn't change much, but they all try to put their own twist on it.

That was very funny. Good acting, too!
Makes you feel REAL good about all the other educational videos coming from them, heh.
