I think the joke is that fast talking and pantomime make things sound more exciting then they are.

[@pedrovigo1788]

The Ani Mru Mru sense of humor is based not only with words playing but also sign language play and the choreography by Michal. His body expresion is genius.

[@KrzysztoW83]

Michał is graduated from a professional mime study, by the way.

This is a historic skit. After the political changes in Poland, the first hypermarkets started to appear and people were thirsty for places where they could buy everything. It was a novelty in Poland and everyone wanted to buy anything, and this skit is a satire on the behaviour of the crowd. I myself live in a large provincial town and when the first huge hypermarket opened in our country, the police were involved to keep order, and people queued up just like in communist Poland, where there were queue committees and notebooks of who was behind whom, and the crowd had been thickening since the afternoon of the previous day. There was a time when the crowd was pushing so hard, the glass in one door broke. It was veritable madness. A colleague who got a job at this hypermarket and was at work that first day recounted that all the staff had a briefing as if for war and everyone was on high alert. Back then, the first director was a Frenchman because it was then a hypermarket of a very popular French chain, which then changed ownership several times but that's not what I want to write to you about. A colleague told me that the director planned to go out and greet the customers but when he saw this crowd and when the doors opened he ran away and for the rest of the day he sat in his office and just took reports on what was happening. Security was reporting all the time, the shop staff couldn't keep up with giving information, someone fainted, someone had a fight with someone. At the end of the day, the market looked like a wasteland. Customers had cleared the shelves almost to the point of exhaustion. The success was unbelievable, and the director reported to Paris that they had to order more goods from the suppliers, and they had to order them now because they would have nothing to sell. And that's what this skit is about, the madness of change and the longing of Poles for the big world. And look, it's been 30 years, and today the markets are closing because there are too many of them, and people have become used to them and everyone takes them for granted, and it's only been 30 years.

Ani Mru Mru - Chińska Restauracja was their biggest or second biggest thing after "Niebo" and in my opinion the most hilarious one, so if you have a chance to check it out, please do!

From myself, I would add that in another KMN sketch there was this thought: "I love promotions in hypermarkets, because then I can buy something for half price that I wouldn't normally want for free."

I think it's ever funnier when you're able to follow and exactly match the blonde guy's words to the tall guy's actions, and understand some double meanings. There's a whole new level of hilarious going on, like when he says that the customers are passing dairy, while the other guy bends down to look at his "manly bits" - in Polish that part of anatomy is called not "balls", but "eggs", hence the reference to "dairy". You should watch "Chinese restaurant" by the same group, it's also an old classic. And when it comes to other Polish comedy groups, I also recommend Grupa MoCarta, whose humour is based on music (they play violins and other string instruments), and thus pretty universal.

[@pedrovigo1788]

Its brilliant how they play not also with the dirty associations but also with the political correctness... "the elder" - sign of wheelchair, etc.

[@MistrzSeller]

The sketch comes from the times when this type of stores were just entering Poland. This made their opening a great event. Because those were the times when people didn't have access to the Internet. It was only with the advent of supermarkets that people in Poland became familiar with baguettes. There was such a craze back then that people often started eating them while standing in line at the cash register.

[@Trutka91]

Yeah, openings of super- and hipermarkets in Poland in late 90s and early 2000s. Good (maybe not really good .-.) old times. x)

Zwariowałeś? It's level VERY hard, definitely not for a foreigner, it's for someone who knows Polish very well, knows the original version of the poem, understands double meanings, can read between the lines in Polish... I cant imagine how to translate that sketch into English, it seems almost impossible to me. To translate the poem itself is an extreme task, but accomplished by Walter Whipple: The Locomotive: A big locomotive has pulled into town, Heavy, humungus, with sweat rolling down, A plump jumbo olive. Huffing and puffing and panting and smelly, Fire belches forth from her fat cast iron belly. Poof, how she's burning, Oof, how she's boiling, Puff, how she's churning, Huff, how she's toiling. She's fully exhausted and all out of breath, Yet the coalman continues to stoke her to death. Numerous wagons she tugs down the track: Iron and steel monsters hitched up to her back, All filled with people and other things too: The first carries cattle, then horses not few; The third car with corpulent people is filled, Eating fat frankfurters all freshly grilled. The fourth car is packed to the hilt with bananas, The fifth has a cargo of six grand pi-an-as. The sixth wagon carries a cannon of steel, With heavy iron girders beneath every wheel. The seventh has tables, oak cupboards with plates, While an elephant, bear, two giraffes fill the eighth. The ninth contains nothing but well-fattened swine, In the tenth: bags and boxes, now isn't that fine? There must be at least forty cars in a row, And what they all carry - I simply don't know: But if one thousand athletes, with muscles of steel, Each ate one thousand cutlets in one giant meal, And each one exerted as much as he could, They'd never quite manage to lift such a load. First a toot! Then a hoot! Steam is churning, Wheels are turning! More slowly - than turtles - with freight - on their - backs, The drowsy - steam engine - sets off - down the tracks. She chugs and she tugs at her wagons with strain, As wheel after wheel slowly turns on the train. She doubles her effort and quickens her pace, And rambles and scrambles to keep up the race. Oh whither, oh whither? go forward at will, And chug along over the bridge, up the hill, Through mountains and tunnels and meadows and woods, Now hurry, now hurry, deliver your goods. Keep up your tempo, now push along, push along, Chug along, tug along, tug along, chug along Lightly and sprightly she carries her freight Like a ping-pong ball bouncing without any weight, Not heavy equipment exhausted to death, But a little tin toy, just a light puff of breath. Oh whither, oh whither, you'll tell me, I trust, What is it, what is it that gives you your thrust? What gives you momentum to roll down the track? It's hot steam that gives me my clickety-clack. Hot steam from the boiler through tubes to the pistons, The pistons then push at the wheels from short distance, They drive and they push, and the train starts a-swooshin' 'Cuz steam on the pistons keeps pushin' and pushin'; The wheels start a rattlin', clatterin', chatterin' Chug along, tug along, chug along, tug along! . . . .

[@wielokrotny5429]

Locomotive The locomotive’s standing at the station, Huge, heavy, it drips perspiration - Oily lubrication. It stands and wheezes, it groans and gnashes Its boiling belly stuffed with hot ashes: Arrrgh, what torture! Phew, what a scorcher! Panting and puffing! Hissing and huffing! It’s barely gasping, it’s barely breathing, And still its fireman more coal keeps on heaping. To it were coupled wagons of iron and steel Massive and heavy, they weighed a great deal And crowds of people in each one of these, And one’s full of cows, another of - horsies, A third one with passengers, every one fat, Sitting and eating sausagey snacks. The fourth was packed with crates of bananas. The fifth one contained - six large grand pianos. In the sixth a large cannon, cor! what a whopper! Each of its wheels chocked up right proper! The seventh, oaken wardrobes and chairs. The eighth an elephant, giraffe and two bears. The ninth, fattened pigs - no spare spaces, The tenth full of trunks, baggage and cases, Wagons like these - another forty remain, Not even I could tell you what they contain. But if a thousand strongmen gathered right here, And each one would eat a thousand burgers a year, And each one of them strained with all of his might, They couldn’t shift this colossal weight. Suddenly - WHISTLE! Suddenly - bustle! Steam - eruption! Wheels - in motion! Slowly at first, like a tortoise just waking Strains the engine, every single joint aching. But it jerks at the wagons and pulls with great zeal, It turns, and it turns, wheel after wheel. It gathers momentum and takes up the chase As it thunders and hammers and speeds up the pace. And where to? And where to? And where to? Straight on! By rail, by rail, by bridge, now it’s gone - Through mountains and tunnels, through meadows and woods It’s rushing, it’s rushing to bring on the goods, It’s knocking out rhythms like banging a drum DUM-buDUM, DUM-buDUM DUM-buDUM-DUM! It’s gliding so smoothly - no effort at all, No engine of steel, just a little toy ball, No massive machine, all panting and puffing But a plaything of tin, that weighs next to nothing. From where does it, how does it, why does it rush? And what is it, who is it, gives it a push? That makes it go faster, all thrashing and hissing? It’s steam’s scalding power that keeps the train moving. It’s steam, piped from boiler to a piston that glides Back and forth pushing rods that turn wheels on both sides, They’re striving and driving, the train keeps on bumping, ‘Cause steam keeps the pistons a-pumping and pumping, Producing a rhythm so pleasing to some: DUM-buDUM, DUM-buDUM DUM-buDUM-DUM!

At that times there were a lot of such supermarkets' openings. At the opening there were some price drops, special offers and so on. People in Poland had less money than today and such events attracted many people hoping to buy some stuff cheaper. But of course, the offers weren't so attractive as people had expected. Anyway, the crowds were always there.

This one gig might not be the best choice for a foreigner. You can see how demanding it is to read, observe and associate a multitude of smaller jokes at the same time. Additionally, there is a word game in the original. And also speed. Ten jeden skecz jest prawdopodobnie nie najlepszym wyborem dla obcokrajowca. Widać, jak wymagające jest jednoczesne czytanie, obserwowanie i kojarzenie mnogości mniejszych żartów. Dodatkowo wiadomo gra słowna w oryginale. A także szybkość.
