Best comedian to come out of Finland for sure. National treasure!

The English language is very difficult. Many rules that don't make sense.

[@tinfoilhomer909]

My first language is Australian English and trust me it was hard learning to read, because we don't write our language we rely on America and the UK to create healthy spelling conventions. Both of them do a horrible job of this.

[@Redfizh]

Hardest for finns is dull R. English speakers do not give the spanish RrRrRrRrR... machingun sound and finns use it more than latinos. Also most languages have one sound for each character so you hear non-english speakers spelling silent characters out loud.

[@tinfoilhomer909]

@@Redfizh The trill~tap native variant of English R is used in Scotland. If you learn a Scottish accent you won't need to use that dull R at all.

[@mikaveekoo]

Indeed. There is no logic how english words are pronounced.

The reason I don't like this particular video is that it starts with a false premise. Before him, I had never heard an English-speaker say the coffee thing and he's not a native speaker. I have heard basically the same thing used in Finland, though, and never thought it would be particularly rare. So... it's not English and I refuse to accept he didn't know it earlier. Yes, it's just an act, but it's not irrelevant which bits one makes up. There are straight bits in his jokes as contextualisations informing the audience. They are true and people believe them, because they are presented as such. It's obviously not a big thing this time, but more like the principle of the thing. What if he does it about something that actually matters? It's a bit like if Jon Stewart or John Oliver were lying in their shows. They don't, they kind of adhere to journalistic standards. Sure, they do jokes, which may be (and often are) blatant lies, but the straight bits are essentially factual and the audience is made known which are which. This is something you shouldn't play around with. Everything else is solid, though.

it's not that deep bruh...

@@SoulWeasel69 Not everyone would admit to such things, "sex fruits".

We didnt ask for a "review"....and honestly we dont care.

@@spacemaker8760 Nothing says "we dont (sic) care" like replying. Also, who is "we" and how often do you ask for comments of any kind?
