A couple of famous ones in Dutch:
-Wat was was voordat was was was, was was was of was was stuifmeel? -Als vliegen achter vliegen vliegen vliegen vliegen vliegensvlug achterna. -De kat krabt de krullen van de trap. -De knecht van de knappe kapper knipt veel knapper dan de knappe kapper knippen kan. -Liesje leerde Lotje lopen langs de lange Lindelaan maar Lotje wou niet lopen dus liet Liesje Lotje staan. And there's this one which also has the reputation of being the longest Dutch word: -Hottentottententententoonstelling Edited by ReneeMona on 07 May 2010 at 1:40pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

No Polish ones so far? Ok, here are some examples:
W Szczebrzeszynie brzmi w trzcinie (a part of a nursery rhyme) Spis poczt tczewskich (I've only just found this one and it almost killed me :D ) Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami. Tens of others can be found here: http://pl.wikiquote.org/wiki/%C5%81ama%C5%84ce_j%C4%99zykowe Edited by Piotr1981 on 02 August 2010 at 9:34am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Another Italian one for those who have problems with the ‘gli’ sound: IPA [ʎ]
Sul tagliere gli agli taglia, non tagliare la tovaglia, la tovaglia non è aglio, se la tagli fai uno sbaglio. Cut the garlic on the chopping board. Don’t cut the tablecloth. The tablecloth isn’t garlic: if you cut it, you’re making a mistake. On Youtube there’s a video with two guys dramatizing it (and they say it very slowly, so it’s not much of a tongue twister anymore). Unfortunately the audio isn’t perfect, but it’s better than nothing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaruv_ufPMc (delete the blanks, if any) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
