    It’d be really cool if they had a talking cock singing songs for the customers.

    • Mark. Gooley says:

      Move over Showbiz Pizza Place and the robotic orchestra! A giant talking robotic cock singing karaoke-style to egg the customers on to sing too — a HUGE win!

  2. Un Onymous says:

    I think they talk cock and sing songs about it!

  3. soberman says:

    maybe they meant rooster? I always talk rooster when i go to the local entertainment bar at mondays.
    I’m the first who say “first” in this post.

  4. cy says:

    actually ‘talk cock’ is from Singapore. its like our language. talking cock = talking rubbish. so this isn’t really a fail

  5. HooWuzDatMaskMan? says:

    Could be the local hangout for all the poultry farmers and breeders. You go in and there’s a sea of bib overalls (like a Hee-Haw convention), plus the place smells like chicken feed, among other things. Gawd, I’d need to get soused myself. Don’t know what they’d be singin’ ’bout, though…

  6. anon says:

    No engrish here.

    This picture is taken either from my country Singapore or my neighbouring country Malaysia.

    Talk Cock Sing Song is slang for, loosely, “talking nonsense and having fun”

    Nope. No Engrish Funny. Just a inter-cultural misunderstanding.

    • HooWuzDatMaskMan? says:

      Inter-cultural misunderstanding is all part of the fun on Engrish….
      I do wonder about the sign being in Singapore, though, considering all the English spoken and considering either UK Engrish speakers or US Engrish speakers would’ve known the slang meaning of “cock”… could be the owners were aware, too, and were having a funny themselves.

      Slang doesn’t tend to travel well, and a direct translation of a Singapore/Malaysian slang term (or even if this term started as an English one and not translated from, say, Malay or Mandarin) may very well strike outsiders as “Engrish funny”. Engrish tends to be mangled or misunderstood cross-cultural translations, and this seems to fit the bill. In this case, its the outsiders not getting the locals, instead of the locals not getting the outsiders.

      I’m starting to sound like that Wiki person. Please shoot me. Can’t help myself; former English Major, so again, please shoot me.

      • soberman says:

        Wiki person? ooh, i must get to know the Wiki person, maybe i can carry him arround, its nice to have a dictionary around…

      • Papa T says:

        Ya, but they were not using slang… That rooster was fun to talk to.

      • therealjulien89 says:

        yea but this website is suppose to be funny on really really bad english.. whereas this is just a slang..n if thats wrong..then the whole of USA would be worst..since its the country with most slangs on the english language..its like..if its ok to talk crap or talk thrash..then what is wrong with talk cock? ..so yeah..a slang and a fail engrish is a huge difference

    • Hobbes says:

      Who cares? Everybody laughed at “kiek in de kok” and “Titti Dispenser”

      *mumbles* Dumbass.

    • Jer Bear says:

      ENGRISH FAIL!! SINGLISH WIN!!

  7. HooWuzDatMaskMan? says:

    Think the title hits it on the head, though…
    I bet the most popular songs with the Karaoke crowd would be Whip It by Devo, Up For the Down Stroke by Parliament, Shock the Monkey by Peter Gabriel, Love Comes in Spurts by Richard Hell and the Voidoids….
    & I’ll shut up now.

    Slade- Cum On Feel the Noize (don’t even think of those heavy metal schnooks who re-did it in the eighties)…

    OK, now I’ll shut up. Promise.

  8. Anomnomnom Omnomnom says:

    combine “talk cock” with a wild-west styled cowboy swinging-bar door, “sing song” and lots of booze? it surely is totally ghey.

  9. Guess Again says:

    broke back cock song?

  10. Someone says:

    I’m here to talk with my cock and sing a song, and I’m all out of cock… wait, let me try that again…

  11. dr handle says:

    It sounds like the sort of thing that a lot of gay men could really get behind.

  12. Tomsworld says:

    WTF

  13. ohnoanotherputz says:

    It needs an exclamation point.

  14. I'm the chief says:

    *sigh* I wish my cock can sing to me…

  15. oh hi says:

    I’m afraid I’m not very fluent in cock.. how about we have a chat in boobs instead?

  16. tehexile says:

    but i can talk a load of bollocks and sing out loud anywhere, as long as i’m drunk.

  17. callum says:

    go to: http://www.talkingcock.com – it should shed some light on this.

  18. hahahaha I send a bunch of friends to that bar

  19. check says:

    pool and karoake and brothel pub

  20. Anomnomnom Omnomnom says:

    This place must be located at the corners of Kitchen-Dick St. and Woodcock Ave.

  21. GrumpyBum says:

    I used to have one of those, but it broke. Now I have to sing to my cock myself.

  22. Néa says:

    I wanna take ya to a GAY BAHR!

  23. Jurlique says:

    they forgot one more line

    “talk cock sing song PLAY MAHJONG!”

    now thats complete ;p

  24. Rowan says:

    Oh, man. I wish we had one of these in my home town. Most. Popular. Bar. Ever. XD

  25. singaporean says:

    Woot! This is taken off Thomson Road in Singapore, I believe. Seen that signboard a few times and gaffaw at how apt is it.

    Basically Singaporeans like to sit around and “talk cock” (talk nonsense) and “sing song” (literally that)… coupled with some booze, it’ll be fun!

    It’s not gay, it’s just Uniquely Singapore *snort*

  26. lolz says:

    yup thats in singapore

  27. Cherie says:

    thats not engrish on purpose (i hope)
    its a Singaporean slang
    talk cock sing song = conversations (and bitching)

  28. therealjulien89 says:

    its a singaporean slang from singapore… they called it singlish.. usa have their slang n no one gives a shit..so if talking crap or talking thrash is ok then wads wrong wif talking cock..? its the same thing..n it jus means talking about what ever u like to talk about no matter how bad is it.. so it isnt a fail…if tis is a fail then the whole of USA is a phail cos they have the most slangs wif the english language..like nigger… tats not a word too
