Reaction To ISMO - The Word ASS

[@pipari21]

My favourite thing about Finnish language is our "equivalent" of "Fits like a glove". We say "Sopii kuin nyrkki silmään" which translates to "Fits like a fist in the eye" :D

[@pla1nswalk3r]

Funnily in German our equivalent of that includes the ass "Passt wie Arsch auf Eimer" literally translates to "Fits like ass on bucket".

[@ilikevideos4868]

There's also "mennee ku isä äitiin"

[@feralingo]

lähti ku vammanen makuupussista

[@iconfresh7406]

Lähti kuin telkkä pöntöstä.

[@mipecio]

Putos kuin eno veneestä. Ei tule kaikki selvinpäin mieleen. Ehkäpä top lempi lausahdukset omasta mielestäni.

[@ilikevideos4868]

He's very good at "composing" his sets. The way it starts slow and simple and then escalates little by little

[@satu7996]

Ismo is also great in that his humor is very similar in both english and finnish. He is great at playing with words and making observations about the world around him and always without offending anyone

[@jarrulevy4]

Ismo ei muistaakseni ole mikään toope koulutukseltaalkaan voin muistaa väärin... Mutta varsinkin monikielistä huumoria ei ihan jokamies taida.. Hyvä esimerkki on Neil Hardvick

[@pluggedfinn-bj3hn]

Nice seeing the better version of this getting reactions! The shorter version is what made him viral originally (in english speaking world), but this one he had time to refine more, adding the last part about body parts for example.

[@petrusinvictus3603]

He studied English in Helsinki University, do not know till the Masters.😁

[@pluggedfinn-bj3hn]

@@petrusinvictus3603 You got a source in that? Because I'm quite sure he only ever studied Physics in Jyväskylä, and dropped it just before finishing Bachelor's degree. University of Jyväskylä standup nights in Ilokivi was where he was first time introduced to stand-up too, and also where he first time also performed after seeing others flop and being sure he could do better.

[@petrusinvictus3603]

FOR THE GLORY OF ROMA.

[@petrusinvictus3603]

As my friend says: everything is real in The Net, I of course need validation, when sober!🤔

[@petrusinvictus3603]

Well, I was in Hel UNI, so I am sorry giving heresay. But drunk I am.

[@angelsmagick]

Being a Finn I truly get it! Great video ❤

[@oh2mp]

Ismo is a master on playing with words. Both in Finnish and English.

[@Zarniwooper]

His quirky demeanour is so funny to watch

[@hennahallikainen711]

Ismo has the title words funniest guy. We both come from Jyväskylä, Finland.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Ismo is fantASStic.

[@martinslvsten428]

I don't know about finnish, but in danish the word for "married" and "poison" is the exact same word.

[@ronskuiVonbest]

if you are married, you are poisoned by poseidon and women is isis

[@Dimefield]

In the beginning when Ismo says that ass is just something you add to another word with no meaning it's kinda like the thing when he is talking about silent letters: They're unnecessary".

[@airjuri]

Hahaa, "straight" translations are also great :D From English to Finnish and then back to English, nice comedy comes out of those... after 20 beers ;)

[@Yupppi]

The part I enjoy about Ismo's act is that he points out the same things I've been thinking for years if not decades. I'm perhaps particularly analytic about languages in general, always been fascinated about the possibilities of constructing multiple meanings in single expressions and somewhat misleading people with words that are appropriate yet mean a different thing. So it's rather comforting for me to know that other people also think about these things and notice them.

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Love language comedy.

[@leftyme4568]

Ismo rules the word AZZ ;)

[@leftyme4568]

Im sure ther is in Finnish too, but it will take you a lifetime to pick it up ;)

[@hazeman4755]

I think Ismo and Dave Chappelle are my favourite comedians. You have to be really good at the language to be able to do the comedy Ismo does. He has studied physics at the University of Jyväskylä, so he is probably quite smart.

[@roberthpilesund384]

He have probably studied many comedians also. I had to explain to relatives last week, how stand up comedians almost never have "unscripted" moments. Every pause, and "nervous" behaviour is added for extra comedy. Have you noticed that he often use the "rule of three" ? Many times, he say the punchline twice more, but phrased with other words ? Brilliant.

[@Pirelli65]

In Swedish we tend to use the word “skit” as a strengthening word almost like the English ass. In English it means shit. Like the movie was “skitbra” which means that it was really good. Skitful = really ugly, skitgod = really tasty, skitdyr = really expensive, skitsnygg = really handsome or good looking and so on. Fun thing is that in Denmark I heard a police officer say that it was “pisse gott” (piss good) which in my ears sounds disgusting but in danish it is the same meaning as the Swedish “skitbra”.

[@oh2mp]

In Finnish we use "vittu" in the same way. It is the same word as your "fitta" ;)

[@Hairysteed]

Sa basically for you Swedes it's: skitbra = bra skitful = ful skitgod = god skitdyr = dyr skitsnygg = snygg 😛

[@tuukka3580]

Word "a**" is comically translated from Ismo's comedey "nonniin". Same concept but funny tho. 🤣

[@tarantula_7u863]

There are many aspects to this word

[@magnusnilsson9792]

He's just pulling your leg(ass).

[@agploo77]

A Bit of Fry and Laurie did quasi this joke back in the 90's about Americans using the word ass for everything.

[@nahkanukke]

Vitun kusi. Thanks Mert.

[@satanihelvetet]

I like your videos! You have an interesting accent, are you Scottish? Wich part?

[@BackOfLooseCandy]

Again grrrreat rrrreaction... thanks 😂

[@LoneWolf731000]

In the school the learning of a language were pretty straight forward and much easier than this. He's like a proffessor in language or a dictionary, ask him and he'll explain it to you in ways you never thought of. A real english proffessor would scratch his head and ask, What the heck is he talking about?

[@veli-pekkakultanen2353]

You speak quite good English and understand Ismo¨s humour.

[@broderperdurabo]

English is one of the easyets language to lernrn.

[@tilltugg]

I've noticed You seldom or never interact with the comments. In my opinion, it would be beneficial for You. I think.

We Finns just worry if we are accurate.....

[@raunomyllyla8061]

Sore, English is no language that is hard to learn, it simply has so few mensons for different meaning aka Finnougrik-languages

[@karinyman3436]

Finnish is the easiest language to learn, or at least the most logical and English is the most spoken so....

[@BackOfLooseCandy]

Ismo's genius is similar to Columbo's, you think he's a harmless guy... but he drags you like a liter measure, or a donkey on a string and in the end surprises you because you didn't expect him to be smarter than you all along.
