There was a running gag in the 1970's movie What's Up Doc?, in which a supposedly Yugoslavian character named Hugh Simon would walk up to people and say (in a fake accent) "Hello, I am Hugh!" which come out as "Hello, I am you!"

This would cause puzzled and funny responses from person addressed.

In the end, it turned out that the character was a fraud, only pretending to be from Eastern Europe to increase his chances of getting a foundation grant from a wealthy San Francisco doofus played by Austin Pendleton.

The Hugh Simon character was played by the late, great Kenneth Mars.

I've never seen What's Up Doc?. Sounds like an early Borat.

One of my favorite comedies, what with the igneous rocks and all. BS and Ryan O’Neil were so good. Of course that was before BS went off the deep end. Kenneth Mars was exceptional, awesome flick, so funny.
