When I was in Laos back in 2005 with my wife, we were watching as action movie on broadcast TV not cable. The movie audio was muted so all you heard was the translator. All the machine guns, bomb sounds and everything else were the guy doing sound effects with his voice.
While my wife and I were watching, suddenly "Panasonic DVD" came on the screen and in the upper right corner was the word "Open" shortly followed with "Loading." A few seconds later the movie started playing the second half. The translator was the show, not the movie!
