American Reacts to ISMO LEIKOLA - Super Excited and The Word Ass // FINNISH FRIDAY

[@Piia2023]

I saw this guy just before he moved to America, it was a two and a half hour show, and I swear, everyone was laughing on the floor when it was over. He is a genius.

[@WildwoodVagabond]

That would’ve been fun!

[@Finkele1]

Ismo oli muistaakseni pääsi jyväskylän yliopistoon fysiikkaa lukemaan mutta ilmiselvästi hänelle oli tarvetta aivan muulla alalla. Mielenkiintoista, että sanat ja niiden merkitykset o Ismon bravuritettiä.

[@Finkele1]

-oli. Muokkailin jne ja känässä ei kaikkea huomaa.

[@mmicoski]

Ismo is very funny, not only because of what he says, but also the way he delivers it. His inflections, changes in the pitch of the voice, erratic movements, all contribute to create the perfect joke

[@TruthseekerNKAWTG707]

Ismo is my favorite! He’s content is the tip of the Assberg 🤣🇫🇮

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Hahaha 😂

[@RenegadeShepard69]

Have never seen this comedian before, he looks pretty fun, a finnish in the us can definetly easily find content for jokes there.

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Haha yeah for sure. 😄

[@ApocalypseRider]

Ismo Leikola is the winner of the Funniest Person in the World competition in Las Vegas 2014. All can be found in youtube just to search by his name.

[@oh2mp]

His jokes are even better in Finnish (of course because it's his native language) but he really kicks ass in English too :)

[@squidcaps4308]

He is the biggest comedian in Finland, of course doesn't do so many gigs here but when he does, he fills in arenas. Has been popular for quite long and why not, he is a natural talent. There are others that are roughly in the same level but it is not easy to switch to English, finnish jokes rely so much on word play. For ex kuusi and kuusi means spruce or number six, depending on the context.. and there are a LOT of those. So it is quite easy to put in a lot of material that rely on the quirks of the weird language that has nothing in common with English. The entire sentence structure is different. Observational comedy translates much better, of course and that is what Ismo does.

[@aaronzook9540]

I just started studying Finnish (I'm a quarter Finn and I hope to visit once the pandemic has eased enough for us to travel), so I'm grateful for the Finn-related programming. Love Ismo! Also, sinulla on todella sopo chihuahuja. :)

[@haikeaintiaani9183]

when i was listening and hearing ismo speaking finnish and telling his storys he was just ruthles and funny to point i woud be scared to talk to this guy

[@aaronmicalowe]

The reason we switched from pain in the neck to pain in the ass, is because we used to work a lot more so commonly understood what having a sore neck after a long day felt like. Now we sit on our asses all day so that is the common experience. And we have become so lazy that the idea of moving from sitting sounds like hard work, so pulling something out of your ass symbolises actually having to put effort into something.

[@annelipohjonen6792]

lumilapio! I love the variety and so cool you got to experience a little bit of Ismo. His material is really similar to what it is in finnish, like thinking about words and what they mean and how they change in different situations. I know this is not really helpful but what ever you do decide to make next reactions or something else I will watch it and pretty sure I ill like it. Have a awesome weekend.

What you have to love with Ismo is that he never goes to those below the waist jokes.

[@smokyislay]

Sorry. Below the ass. Below the ass jokes.

[@Garbox80]

@@smokyislay Yes, the beauty in his comedy is that it's mostly "family friendly" stuff. He has done some gig's in Finnish where he has more R-rated stuff, but that's not why he is so popular. He has a talent to observe things and twist them and find different angles that most don't even think, but when they hear them they're "oh, that's true! "

Haha, LOVED this!! I used a English-German dictionary to write a letter to a German woman once. She said she understood what I was trying to say, but a lot of the words I used were "off". Having since heard and read THOUSANDS of non-English-native speakers writing/speaking English, I now know the only way to truly master a language is to have been raised in a country speaking that language.

[@Idefixu]

Ismo also has a similar kind of video about the word s.it. Just saying I'm not suggesting you react to that. The performance when he won the title of The World's Funniest Man, was a good one. Was it at Laugh Factory? It's amazing how much he has to say about one word. If it's not too much for you, two videos a week would be nice. One for reaction videos, music and occasionally something else, like this Ismo reaction for example. And another weekly video the way you've been doing for a longer time already. There is a demand, I can tell. Ismo is right. If things that happen every day are great, fantastic and so on, what the heck do you say when someting really exceptionally wonderfull happens? If in Finland after a meal you say it was good, it's not an insult. It's friday evening now, 8pm, in Finland and Port Wine tastes good - not great, not fantastic, but good.) I enjoy watching your videos - but I'm not super excited, only excited😁. Please, don't take that as an insult. Remember I am a Finn, and we don't get excited easily. Though I've noticed I use more superlatives when I use English instead of Finnish. American exaggeration is contageous. See you again Rachael! I love you! That I can say but "Minä rakastan sinua" would be going too far. There is a difference there, don't you think.😆

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Haha yeah I understand the difference 😄 thank you for all of your feedback and support. I appreciate it! And I understand and appreciate you not exaggerating. It means something to me.
