171. Russian Humour Explained (with examples)

How are you I'm doing great For instance your friend might not recall the words the title or the name You can assist by finishing his sentence but you're not truly helping him remember it You're coming up with some silly name or an overly fancy word or something utterly meaningless and amusing So in this video they were discussing various innovators who were presenting their ideas across different segments And he couldn’t recall the section but his colleague helped by mentioning the section on atomic taekwondo Of course something like that doesn’t exist And it's utterly amusing to picture taekwondo as atomic Let's move on to the next example Here the guest on this show is saying that during a performance the actor's phone rang while he was on stage And the host of this show isn't allowing the guest to finish his sentence cutting him off and saying Someone from the audience called in asking him to repeat the final scene since they'd been in the bathroom Number two is micking a foreign language without actually speaking it Usually we use French German or English for this Let's look at some examples Hello I have a meeting scheduled Well you get the point Number three is saying something completely meaningless with a straight face This style of joke is called deadpan humor Let's look at some examples Exclusive photo reportage Guys I've got it This is part of Dmitry's grand scheme He's planning a few more weddings before selling off this business Of course the wedding wasn’t that secret But we’ll get to sarcasm later The blond guy said you all don’t understand why he’s doing all these weddings There will be more and more weddings and then he’s going to sell this business The joke landed even harder because he delivered it with a straight face as if he truly believed it And let's move on to the next joke about the same celebrity still deadpan He said that the man who's been married four times will walk into the restaurant or a bar and everyone will freeze saying "Don't move " He reacts to any movement He’s just going to sniff everyone out and leave And if you didn’t get the joke it’s like everyone’s scared of him now Because he could marry anyone out of nowhere Number four is extremely popular Try telling a story while laughing throughout We in Russia love this I guarantee everyone will laugh along with you Nevertheless no one will understand what you're saying But of course it' s not easy—the story first of all has to be funny to you so you can laugh And let's look at an example He'd had enough of all the words A bus with schedules—and that was all Vodyarov He didn't have enough words Another clever thing to say So I don't get wet I'll be your So you don't It doesn't matter We're not all your songs I remember It's terrible Everything in the world is in constant change Presidents come and go Naturally in America We won't debate this point here And how gracefully Zhenya handed her the apartment key He'll give it to her The children won't let Yana go What do you mean they won't let Yana go A child from Kutuzovsky Prospect came to pick her up With a girl wearing an earring Let's look at an example That's all for today Let me know in the comments whether these jokes were funny to you and what kind of humor you enjoy in your country Connect with me on all my social media platforms I have Facebook Instagram and Twitter Thank you for your attention Kisses kisses
