A 1994 ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ Pizza Hut British TV Commercial Spoken Completely in Klingon

In 1994, Pizza Hut UK aired the very first non-English advert on British television stations. The scene featured three Klingons who looked like Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation and only spoke in their native language. Luckily a compassionate employee was able to help them without words.

Pizza Hut has produced the first completely non- English advertisement to be screened on British television: in the Star Trek language of Klingon "The firm was helped by Paramount Studios, which produces the TV series and also devised a Klingon dictionary and a book on speaking Klingon.

While this may seem like a parody, in 1995 Pizza Hut UK put out another Star Trek themed advert, albeit this one appears to be from the original series.

A Star Trek (The Original Series) Pizza Hut promotion from 1995 (I think) and shown only in Britain (I don't think the US even got the promotion for some reason).
