I believe it is an old t.v show that this link takes you. The video clip displays how mis communication can be caused by language barriers. The lady who was checking into her hotel room was speaking to the bell hop in a language he had not mastered. Along with her accent, it quickly became evident that the conversation was getting no where fast. Although this clip was posted for the humor aspect of it, I found it fitting as a simple example as how messages can be interpreted incorrectly.
