I've heard a lot of the smartest answers be something along the lines of "Czech+French", meaning that Wiseau spent his childhood between France and Czechoslovakia, or another West Slavic or South Slavic country.  It isn't recognizably Hungarian according to most sources.

Ideas?

FYI in case anyone hasn't heard of that movie before, it's hilariously bad.  Lots of other clips of it worth watching on YT.

I was able to watch maybe 45 seconds of that review, tops, before that guy annoyed me so much I had to close the window. :yuk:

Yeah but as a HR guy human emotions make you annoyed.

I like him a lot (well, not his new, "let's do unfunny comedy skits" reviews), mostly because he is very much a coked up caricature of a good friend of mine. But I agree that he's no Brad Jones (aka the Cinema Snob).
