         | Aw, man! I'd forgotten this existed. My gf and I used to do the
         | "mah mah mah mah", "oh toh toh toh"-thing when pouring drinks
         | for each other. Thanks for posting it and reminding me.

           | What does that actually mean? Is it a reference for something
           | people do in Japan?

       | Just to settle any speculation: it's one of several funny skits
       | from a Finnish comedy group (whose name escaped me) which was
       | active in the 1970s. Most of what they did was Monty Python-esque
       | and sometimes with a sprinkle of satire over typical
       | societal/informational videos coming out of the Nordic countries'
       | social services departments of that time.

         | The show "Burn Notice" does a lot of this as well, but with
         | James Bond spy antics. Lots of which involve different ways to
         | open doors. There was one episode where he explains that when
         | you have to walk through a door in a hostile area, you have to
         | assume someone is hiding behind the door ready to ambush you
         | (but such a hiding spot would be a bad idea since you can just
         | slam the door open and hit them with it, which he does).
