Ha, ha, I bet you he doesn't get invited on many english language lecture tours.
This is a bit of a cheat but this Irish politician was very active through my formative years and I really didn't see anything amusing about his name until an english stand-up pointed out that he should be a character in a Carry On movie!!

| He's not an actor, but there was a guy who went to school where I did named Dick Tinkle. Not Richard, calling him Dick. Nooooooo, his parents named him Dick, believe it or not. What amused me most was that when I ran a Google search for "Dick Tinkle" in my state, one of the 7 listings had him under "Find A Professional." |

Doesn't have a lot to do with films, but...
Take a bus to this village. 
I jumped on and rode the Fucker to Wank. |

Either does the fact that County Wexford, Ireland houses these three towns, Heavenstown, Bastardstown and Horetown. |

One of the more famous TV gaffe's this side of the pond (well at least on the UK side of the pond) was a cricket commentator who unfortunately announced "The bowler's Holding the batman's Willey", as Michael Holding bowled to Peter Willey during an Enland vs West Indies test match.
I have heard rumours that this didn't actually happen, but I choose to believe it anyway  |

It looks genuine (Oval, 1976). I don't think it was a gaffe, though - I think he knew just was he was saying.  |

Presumably driven there by Rolf Wanka!
I read that the locals are upset because British tourists keep stealing the sign! |

There was a similar slip on US TV . In a sports bulletin one of the anchors wound up the summary with a story about a fast pitcher who could pitch through a car wash without getting the ball wet.
"Well , he must have the cleanest balls in the league !" replied his co host then collapsed with laughter! |
