I do love how he explains the translations of the words, though.
Plus, it's Paul Rudd, so, you know, instant awesomeness
If you don't like it, Potsy, sit on it.
And don't fk with people trying to be civil and do a job. It's cowardly.
upvote for: "Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages".
True, but bad karma for insulting the labor.
I would argue that the labor insulted him first with the ever-infuriating "Uh... a what? Do you mean a VENTI?" comment.
I order a 'large' at Starbucks all the time. They know what I mean. And if the girl behind the counter isn't sure, she just holds up a cup and says "Is the 20oz okay?"
Trying to make customers use your lingo is not good customer service.
"Tall" means taller than "Short", which is a size that isn't on their menu but which you can probably still order.
"Grande" in Italian actually does translate to "Large" in English according to the Google translator.
"Venti" means 20, as in a "20oz" drink. Hot "Venti" drinks are 20oz, and cold "Venti" drinks are 24oz (extra 4oz of ice).
As far as the joke itself, it's pretty funny until he directly insults the girl behind the register... most of the skit could have been done better, but perhaps that is just my personal sense of humor.
At an airport once I tried to order a "small" drink at some fast food place (Burger King I think) and was told that they didn't carry that size, just "medium, large, and extra large."
I ended up paying them in pennies, just in case they needed "medium" change.

I would argue that throwing a shit-fit over something as insignificant as that makes the man look like a pouty little bitch.
"Venti does NOT mean large."

...and a point taken away for completely misunderstanding humor. Evolutionary.

I might argue that throwing a shit-fit over something as insignificant as a clip from a dumb comedy movie does the same.
Ok, from what I can tell:
"Tall" means taller than "Short", which is a size that isn't on their menu but which you can probably still order.
You can. A short is 8 ounces, and is available at most every coffee shop, though they're guaranteed to gouge you on the price.
Plus! The wife feeling bad for the girl just got her a big tip. Probably the best tip she had all day, except for the tip about learning something instead of being stupid forever. For both tips, she can thank Paul Rudd.
If I ever own a restaurant, the drinks will come in three sizes: Huge, Massive, and Gargantuan.
Mine would be Single Serving, Double Serving, and Fat Fuck.
My employees would be trained to encourage people to order the Fat Fuck ("Would you like to Fuck that up?"), then act disgusted when people inevitably go for it. They would receive bonuses for doing this well.
It kind of evolves from 'coffee, please' to 'a medium coffee, please' and ends in a 'a medium black coffee, no sugar, no cookie, no milk on the side, please'.
If I ever own a restaurant, the drinks will come in three sizes: Huge, Massive, and Gargantuan.
Damn right, and there would be no 'fun' size in sight.
If I ever own a restaurant, the drinks will come in three sizes: Huge, Massive, and Gargantuan.
What, no Mammoth? Bladder Buster? How about Oh Shit!

If Kronosposeiden ever owned a restaurant drinks would all contain massive amounts of alcohol, even the non-alcoholic ones.

In the movie, this exchange is meant to make the guy look like a dick - that's the beat in this scene.
I think my favorite part is the throwaway line, "Do you accept Lira? Or is it all Euros?"
