I think it's Spanish. I don't have the foggiest idea what he's saying, though someone on the ebaumsworld forum suggested that the prank takes place in southern California and the skeleton is telling the passers-by that he's an employee of the Department of Immigration. Ha.
I watched in patient silence. I don't think it's Spanish, but I'm not sure. At first I thought it was Italian, but I'm vaguely wondering if it's Brazilian Portuguese?
Could be Brazilian Portuguese. It's supposed to sound more Latinate (and hence more like Spanish) than continental Portuguese which sounds almost Slavic.
OK, someone at the ebaums forum has posted a translation - it is Brazilian Portuguese afterall:
/That's Portuguese, it's from a Brazilian TV show that doesn't even air anymore.
/This is actually a "sequel" to an even older prank, where they put a skeleton riding a taxi around /a cemetery. Here's roughly what he says at the start:
/"Due to the success of our friend here, who used to ride a cab by the cemetery wall; but now, she /[I have no idea why he calls it a 'she'] changed vehicles -- she's now using this motorcycle. And /do you people want to know what's going to happen? Just wait..." [evil laugh]
/Then it shows him with the microphone, and he says:
/"Hey, you over there! Want a ride to hell? No! Don't run! Don't run! Get on the bike, let's /conquer hell! [evil laugh]"
/"Hey, all of you... Want a ride to hell? Don't run, you cowards, I'll get all of you! I'll get you, we'll /go to hell!"
/And he keeps repeating about the same thing until the end.
