The shop worker, initially did said that he was butcher weak ago. It is why he think about doors from point of view of his previous job. So it is not a Polish thing, to be clear. At the same time client is extra ignorant about basic subject.

[@d.m8315]

''I sleep in the legs'' 9.54 - Polish expression for describing the exact position in bed while sleeping. The bed has a head with pillows for a sleeper head and the opposite direction is for the sleeper s legs. The customer says he sleeps upside down, in bed his head is where the legs should be resting = sleeping in the legs.

[@DuchAmagi]

Now you can try Polish stand up, search for "Abelard Giza - Proteus Vulgaris", there are English subs as well

[@januszlepionko]

@Rob Reacts: After the client's «REVOLVING!» , the shop worker asks: CLOCKWISE OR COUNTERCLOCKWISE ? And you missed it somehow…

[@aureus1381]

It is abstract humour like in monty python. You should not try to understand it. It is kind of word playing.

[@gliderfan6196]

1. Actually, that slaughter bit does not make any sense in Poland. He just put it in, and it kinda worked. 2. Sleep in the legs is OK. Especially when there are more people than there are beds, like in student houses after party or when your family came in, and people have to go to bed together but without any (like ANY WHATSOEVER) s***** connotation, some would sleep normally, and some in the legs - perpendicular to the others and opposite side of bed to where the pillow is. (Not related to the sketch, the other method is to sleep in a way of a Jack - one person sleeps normally, the other has their legs on the pillow - like a card Jack ) 3. The phrase 'I am about to loose my patience or you're about to loose your teeth' is brilliantly done by the translator. The word for word would be like 'I'll get a stroke or you get a strike' and literally "I'am going to get brain hemorrage or I will hit you" - now you can appreciate what the translator did here. Brilliant. 4. You missed the final punchline: LEFT OR RIGHT? REVOLVING! ... To the left or to the right?

[@wojtek1582]

I think delivery in Polish language is also the key... because they also have specifically funny voices and pronouncation for this type of comedy.

[@orlenc8142]

It's because he was a butcher for whole life, he can't think about nothing else now. It's the comedy of a situation where we have to ask someone for something trivial, and this someone doesn't know anything about it, because he's been skinning all his life. It is kinda, funny how unlucky costumer can be.

[@kamiljari111]

For me who speak polish fluent you cant translate "common sense" for us something could be so obvious but not for other nations...

[@Sighduf]

And this is the standard employy in any "Castorama" construction shop

[@tuurma]

Well, there's one more thing you people seem to overlook completely. To a person who has never bought door it seems like a regular purchase. You decide what colour you like, the size you need and how much you can afford to pay. In fact, it's a far more complicated thing and it takes many people by surprise. Whether the door is left or right, the frame choice, whether the door should fold or hide into the wall. That's surprisingly complicated and time consuming. The audience were probably going back to their first time when they tried buying door and were blissfully unaware of what they got into. Thanks to the comedy group I was a little better prepared than the client from the show.

[@kamiljari111]

@@Sighduf you think everybody know whats Castorama is?

[@yerry1404]

I'm polish and I live in UK, so comparing both markets, you can tell that when you buy door in Poland you get to choose from so many options, textures, shapes, colours, with different types of hinges, door frames and so on. Typical English door is simple and you doing get too much of a choice. So buying door in Poland is quite a challenge 😂

[@MrSztyrlic]

"To sleep in the legs" here is the literal translation of Polish "spać w nogach", which means to sleep on the foot end of a bed (like cats or small dogs sometimes do). Anyway, this is one of my favorite comedy sketches. I'm always afraid to go to a DYI store and ask for something, for they always ask tons of these questions which I can hardly understand.

[@annakowalska9343]

Sleep head to toe;)

[@kolo5141]

"To sleep where legs are"

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

I think it not only means to sleep at this side of bed, but to literally sleep on someone else's legs (like pets do sometimes). This is a running joke in Poland: "you sleep at the legs", which makes fun of someone, as someone doesn't even have their own place to sleep and they are humiliated to sleep at someone's feet in bed. It's a dry humor, I love it 😅

[@AgneDei]

Yup, the "not getting over being a butcher" aspect in totally unrelated scenarios reminds me very much of Monty Python abstract style of humour, and thats really good.

[@SolariusScorch]

Yes indeed. I feel that Monty Python's kind of humour is pretty close to classic Polish humour in general, and easily understood by Poles. In fact, I think British TV comedy is the most influential one in Poland, thanks to MP, but also "Allo, Allo" and many more.

[@adam7264]

Actually this sketch may look very similar to the old Monty Python's. The idea of door seller who used to be a butcher reminds me a sketch about hairdresser who used to be a lumberjack. Also, there was a sketch with a seller to whom you needed to communicate using special language - when you needed mattress you had to ask about kennel, otherwise he put a bag on his head 🙂 BTW, KMN stands for "Kabaret Moralnego Niepokoju" which literally means "Cabaret of Moral Anxiety" 😀

[@arturszymanski4327]

For me, there is another KMN sketch that is very Monty Python's in style, namely the "grocer's robbery" reminds me of Monty Python's "jeweller robbery". It is not plagiarism or copying in any way. It's a different sketch, but in a similar style.

[@romualdandrzejczak4093]

Notably, in the original series version of the lumberjack sketch, the hairdresser actually had been a butcher before.

[@aleksandrakrzysiek]

You chose the best comedy group in Poland to watch. The ‘butcher’ is a guy who graduated from Polish literature studies (or something like that). He’s punch lines are genius and the way he plays with words (which unfortunately sometimes gets lost with a translation) is hilarious. Definitely recommend more sketches by this group. Unfortunately majority of other groups are half as funny 😉

[@bartsky1945]

Yes his name is Robert Górski I find him absolutely the best comic in Poland. He used to do unscripted jokes and they were so funny that he made the cast laugh and they couldn't proceed with their jokes.

[@joannab7403]

Not really - KMN used to be much more sophisticated. One of the best for me is "Hrabi" (and its "predecessor" "Potem")

[@KasiaWesoek]

[@bea6719]

the translator explained well, sleeping in his legs means that he sleeps the other way around, that is, he puts his legs on the pillow

[@xxKeymaxx]

or that two people sleep normally and he sleeps on the same bed, where they keep their legs, as if perpendicular to them

[@carapaxplastron1869]

@@xxKeymaxx "spać w nogach" = "sleepin' in the legs" I think this is something completely different. 1. "sleepin' in the legs" is a term that describes a situation where a pet sleeps in a bed. then he usually lies in the part of the bed where the feet are. i.e. on the opposite side from the headrest. And this is a position across the bed. 2. The term is also used contemptuously for people who do not deserve to sleep in a normal position, thus reducing the person's status to a pet. In this context, the saying is an idiom. that is, a phrase that loses its meaning in a linear translation. 3. "what do you know, you sleep in your legs" such a phrase defines the intellectual superiority of the interlocutor over the listener. another thing is that often imagined superiority. either way it discredits or attempts to discredit the person to whom these words are addressed.

[@sytrostormlord3275]

Basicaly 'sleeping in legs' in Polish refers to situation when a person in sleeping in reverse position- with head in place where other people have legs. That was a way of sleeping in poor families that couldnt afford enough beds for whole family. So many people would sleep in same bed- some in natural position with head on pillows and others in reverse position- with head between legs of other people (also having their legs put into direction of other people heads)

[@20110131a]

Or literally in the legs, for example, a dog can sleep in the owner's legs :)

@@DRsewage Moim zdaniem nie działa już tak dobrze, bo (to taka drobnostka, która na co dzień mnie irytuje) określenia clockwise/counter-clockwise mają miliard razy więcej sensu niż określenia "lewoskrętne" i "prawoskrętne".

Just imagine John Cleese doing the door salesman/former butcher and Terry Jones doing the customer, or maybe Graham Chapman. It'll translate perfectly and might be even funnier.

[@sytrostormlord3275]

9:50 'sleeping in legs' is basicaly reference to the way poor families used to sleep in previous century. Basicaly poor people had less beds than family members so many of them slept in one bed- some in 'correct' possition- with heads on pillow and some in reverse position- with their heads next to legs of the other group... hence the saying ' to sleep (in/between) legs'

[@sytrostormlord3275]

There are also other sayings that refer to that postion: "You know nothing, you sleep in/between legs" Also referencing to that situation, basicaly children used to sleep that way and as adults sometimes whisper about important stuff in bed, before goingbto sleep- those who sleep in legs dont know about the things other people do.

[@sytrostormlord3275]

Basicaly when i think about such position i recall families living in rural areas back in pre- Workd War times... but after WW2 the levels of poverty were so high and lack of good was so common that 'sleeping in legs' wasnt a relict of history for generation of my parents or grandparents ( basicaly people who were born between World Wars or 10 -20 years after WW2)

[@weles4254]

You missed last question - "revolving? right spinning or left?" also if you find Abelard Giza - he is a great stand uper, I really enjoyed his show "People, hold your hats"

[@bgolebiow83]

to sleep in legs means to sleep across the bed where usually feet are, or upside down - feet on pillow

[@sweet-macaroon]

The door salesman was working in a slaughterhouse just a few days ago and he still remembers and talks about it. And it's funny because it surprises the customer who just wants to buy the door.

[@MariuszJakubczyk]

The phrase "spać w nogach" that was translated to "sleep in the legs" actually meant to sleep head to toe, so with one's head on the opposite side of the bed than the other person's.

[@krzysztofmazurkiewicz5270]

All the refferences to the butchery is linked to this salesman first statement that he used to work in a buthery a week ago but now he works here and he keeps geting confused. So its not a "polish joke" but just making fun of his confusion in a new workplace Edit: 4:42 and here comes the revelation xD The "I sleep in the legs" means basically that he sleeps the other way around. If the bed has this part behind the head to keep the pillow on it then this is the "head side", so what he does he just lies down with his legs pointing in that dirction and his head twards the "leg side". This is also sometimes reffered to a dog as dogs often sleep "in the legs" as they climb on the bed and sleep next to someones legs. So maybe he just rolls up "in the legs" and sleeps there. Those are the options.

[@anuskas9244]

Sleep in the legs also means that one person sleeps on one side of the bed and the other person sleeps on the other side, just the other way around, this person has their head next to the first person's legs and their legs next to the head. I don't know why, but some houses used to sleep like that, especially if the children slept with their parents 😉 I saw it in some old movie but I don't remember which one

9:57 and it is. "to sleep in bed's legs" meaning "at the bottom part of mattress". in this context buyer emphasized that he is not sleeping on either side of bed but on bed's bottom (presumably sideways).

You missed the last bit after the revolving doors, one sentence but priceless.

Many Polish comedy groups developed their sense of humor by watching Monty Python over and over again...

[@KowalDWR]

There Is no resemblance to Monty Python. Maybe, just maybe lowcy.b can have some, but it would be far fetched anyway. Leave brit "comedy" to them.

[@rusaka4009]

I think you would enjoy MozArt group a lot! They are polish comedians, but they are professional classical musicians amd they merge their incredible abilities with top notch humour! It also involves less words and a lot of expression, so nothing is lost to translations :) greetings!

This is one of my favorite comedy sketches and even a cabaret legend. Whenever we go to a building supply store, it's like, "Is there a door?" ... Recently I just bought a door so anyway ;) PS: there was also an ending in which the question was asked whether RIGHT or LEFT turning this door xD

[@kurczakpe]

Wybrałeś jeden z najlepszych naszych skeczy , to humor sytuacyjny , a każdy kto remontował mieszkanie przeszedł przez to "piekło" , moja zona po wizycie w sklepie jest tak zdezorientowana że nie jest w stanie odróżnić lewych od prawych drzwi --- a to takie proste. (You chose one of our best sketches, it's situational humor, and everyone who renovated an apartment has been through this "hell", my wife is so confused after visiting the store that she can't tell the difference between the left door and the right door --- and it's that simple. this sketch always makes me laugh -- translator)

[@weronikabiesiaga1651]

As a fan of Polish comedy, I recommend "Kabaret Młodych Panów". They are the best.

[@mk60mk]

I suggest seeing a sketch performed by the same artists from the Cabaret of Moral Anxiety entitled - Office, where the work of a city official is shown in a caricature light

[@bydziok]

Jeden z moich ulubionych skeczy ;)

[@KARO4FOREVER]

You missed the ending. Rotating to the left or to the right side. ;] PS: I also recommend "Neo-Nówka" cabaret band, and my favorite cabaret show although I don't know how it will be translated: "Neo-Nówka" - NIEBO (ver. from year 2008r.)

[@Paula_Paulina]

Oh wow, thanks for that!👍I've always wondered how British people would react to our comedies. We have some great humour "Miodowe lata", "13 Posterunek", "Świat według Kiepskich", which makes me laugh my ass out completely, but I guess language and cultural differences make it really hard for other nations to fully understand. At least you prove that it's NOT impossible to get some jokes ;))

[@jkpakosz6698]

All this stuff makes you laugh? These things represents quite poor and rather primitive sense of humour.

[@Paula_Paulina]

@@jkpakosz6698 oh really? So that's absolutely perfect for me!😃

[@adrianadamjedrzejczak9655]

Nice and funny THX !!!

[@replicant8532]

Sleeping in the legs means opposite side to the headboard. So when you sleep with someone you have your head next to that persons legs. It was used in the sketch to confuse left side with right side again. Seller was explaining which hand is under the belly and which one is facing the wall while the client said he sleeps in the legs anyway so the sides are confused again.

[@Blue528.]

Punch: Revolving doors, but left-handed or right-handed.🤣🤣

[@miliobyw]

At the beginning of the movie it is stated that the salesman worked previously in a slaughterhouse as a butcher - WHICH MEANS - that he is not a professional furniture salesman. This is where all the following comedy threads start. Both the salesman and the customer are both morons, which is emphasized by defining the door as an entrance & exit. Which is trivial and can only be taken seriously by idiots!!! The salesman still struggles to detach himself from his previous work as a butcher. Hence, he converts everything into murdered pigs and calves that are completely incompatible with the current job. And he does it without remorse. If you watch the movie a few times, you will understand the Polish joke in 100 percent.

[@Maciej_77]

I recommend Ireneusz Krosny - The Evolution of Dance. You won't need subtitles for that as he is a mime. ; )

[@mellowtrax1979]

You chose one of the best sketches of this cabaret.

[@mikikaboom9084]

11:17 Actually, this wasn't a literal translation. He really said "Something will either hit me or I'll hit you".

[@danonck]

This was brilliant, I didnt expect a foreigner could understand Polish, even with subtitles haha

[@RobReacts1]

I thought it was brilliant! :D

[@GrimK77]

Remember 12 tasks of Asterix? Task about Roman bureaucracy? We used to have similarly difficult bureaucracy. It's also clash between not-so-great service with undecided client.

[@MrTiranei]

9:55 "i sleep in the legs" it means he sleeps "upside down", so he keeps his head on this side of the bed, where you should keep your legs. it came from when you sleep with other people/person in the same bed, and you are sleeping between their legs

[@misiekkrk621]

I think that in original polish verson at the end of the video there was one more dialogue i don't know if i can translate it good but it means something like "-REVOLVING -*longer laughers" -... -So, that turns right or left?"

[@_BM_]

10:19 "W butach gówno widać" is literally translated to "In the shoes shit is seen", but it means that you can't see anything bc of the shoes

[@MrFroggieNL]

"Spanie w nogach" sleeping on feet side was common in poland. Kids was sleeping on other side of bed. "Upgrade was:"Spanie na bantach". When meubles was moved from wall to create room for kids

[@tojarobak1]

Jedno z najlepszych !

[@jackcraker5486]

Brilliant!

[@weczisTV]

That was the one of the few best polish comedy. this is Kabaret (comedy group) Moralnego (moral) Niepokoju (anxiety) Sleeping in legs - means that you sleeping in the legs :) like cat or a slave...

[@arturkocon8205]

@RobReacts it feels so warm on heart when I see guy from England trying to understand polish spirit 🙂 Thank You and enjoy this Journey because it's not started yet. You will remember those words my firend🫡

[@RobReacts1]

I just wish I could learnt the language! And yes, plenty more Polish places to visit :)

[@piogrz1505]

uwielbiam tych dwóch, są jednym z najlepszych kabaretów w Polsce.
