6:40 it's about sarcasm saying that if Poles were in the place of Americans (the strongest country ever) they would spoil everything by small conflicts and stupid decisions. It's making fun of ourselves that we are able to waste every chance. We have a specific humor that is often self-critical and only Poles understand ;) 7:04 reference to the rulers twins of Lech and Jarosław Kaczyński (many believe that they govern badly)

Yalta is where Poland was sold to USSR. Song itself is sex allusion.

[@marcinjazwinski4701]

20:40 they clapping because St. Peter/Lucian (Lucifer) is played by the same guy, and they loved what he said. A lot was slang and referring to specific people, stories, songs, history facts, and so on... , that everyone in Poland knows. For example "I will take you in Yalta" is referring to history - after WWII, agreement in Yalta Poland fell into USSR influence zone, which was basically losing independence again; the original text in song is: "Będę brał Cię w aucie - I will take you (sex) in the car (also "aucie - Jałcie" - car rhyme with Yalta)".

It became a symbol of the allies' betrayal of Poland and their consent to subordinate Central and Eastern Europe to Joseph Stalin.

[@mattjasik6776]

4:20 The point about 3 millions of flats is that it was very popular election promise byt the time of that sketch> 6:20 Funny part about translation here - in original they say "układ" (pact) and the St. Peter calls it "okresowy" which together means "periodic table". Hard to translate this joke directly to english. 6:50 The joke about Boston, Massachusetts is connected with very controversial polish journalist (back then) Mariusz Max Kolonko who was doing relations from the USA and was often ending his casts with a phrase "Mariusz Max Kolonko, Boston, Massachusetts" Recurring joke throughout the sketch: Poles are called "Polacy" byt the God, without any conjugation - often in places when normally one would say "Polaków" or "Polakami" 12:10 Yalta, as said in many comments before, was a place of conference awter WW2, where Poles definitely ended up in a russian sphere of influence. The sentence "w Jałcie" sounds similar to the word "w aucie" which was origianally used uin the very popular song back in the time of this sketch. The original song continued in very similar fashion with questions "where? In a car" and even with the ending of the chorus (Aha). Original is called: 'W aucie' produced by Sokół 15:35 the funny part here is that Kurski was announced head of the state TV years after this sketch and was dismissed only recently (in 2022). During the filming of the sketch Kurski wasn't so prominent yet, though he was responsible for very dirty political campaign before elections, coonnecting Donald Tusk's grandfather to Wehrmacht and making Tusk seem as german collaborator. 16:28 loans in francs is a big political and financial issue which appeared in 2009 and was not fully resolved till today. 19:00 Anothe polish song 'Co z nami bedzie' by Sylwia Grzeszczak 21:47 "Two twins" was of course reffered to the Kaczyńscy brothers (one of whom died in 2010 in Smoleńsk) The sketch had many political nuances which are very actual up to this date. In fact, most of the jokes are still valid, after around 15 years.

Reffering Kaczyńscy brothers, Lech was a president and Jarosław is now the head of the PiS (Law&Justice) government (and no, I didn't mean Prime Minister), which is very conservative,and by now, they've annoyed the shit out of every single social group that lives here, of course, they're still in power, so it's not so binary as it semmes. They've also starred in hit film "Tych dwóch co ukradło księżyc" which loosely translates to "These two, who stole the moon"

[@Kosa647]

„O dwóch takich, co ukradli księżyc” ;) fun fact, if you weren’t around for the 2005-2007 shenanigans - TVP (or just somebody working there) once trolled the whole country with that movie. A documentary was supposed to be shown on some patriotic topic, but instead they shown this movie. That was in times when people were heavily discussing the movie and some even wanted to censor it. It was at around 14:00 though, so the impact of this joke wasn’t to big. Still a legend in my book. Laughed my ass off.

[@swetoniuszkorda5737]

* declination/declensing?, not conjugation Mr. Tusk SEEMS as German collaborator? He was, is, and would be one, especially if would win elections 2023 in Poland. But I think our nation is not that stupid.

Co do tego tuska to tam nie było brudnej kampanii tylko prawda. Tusk sie nie kryje z tym że jest uległy wobec niemiec. On po prostu ma taką wizje Polski , moim zdaniem on uważa ze lepiej bedzie jak bedziemy w scisly sojuszu z niemcami dla świetego spokoju. Zeby nie bylo na przyklad wojen. Prowadzi taką polityke i uwaza ze nie ma szans na wielką Polske i wierzy w konsolidacje europy i tym podobne. Ja natomiast uwazam ze jestesmy narodem z bogatą historią i taką mentalnoscia ze nie oddamy panstwa w rece innych po tylu latach niepodleglosci ,rozbiorow i wielu wojen. Zaslugujemy na znaczace sie panstwo tymbardziej ze jestesmy w bardzo waznym miejscu na ziemi pod wzgledem przeplywow itp. Natomiast tez nie uwazam ze powinnismy byc sojusznikiem rosji ba nawet oni sa naszymi najwiekszym wrogiem od setek lat. Są naszym wrogiem strategicznym.

Nie mowi o przejmowaniu tych miast chociaz sadze ze nawet w tych czasach mozna miec roszczenia terytorialne ,ale jestesmy ludzmi z kultura zachodnia i nie mozemy tego zrobic bo to nie "moralne" ale moralnosci ,uczuc nie ma w polityce i wojnie czyli przedluzeniu polityki.

They combined many numbers that you called for various matters and it was hard to get through to one that nobody seems to have ever been able to call (there are rumors that someone from Rzeszów once did, but he didn't arrange anything anyway because he was so shocked that he got through immediately hung up in panic.

Apart from me wanting to say I really enjoy this reaction content, seeing how you take our... odd Polish humour, I'd like to suggest you watching Kabaret Hrabi, in particular, some part of their "savoir-vivre" program. I think you might enjoy their rather abstract humour. They are very expressive so, given how you noticed mymic etc. in the KMN video, it would also be a good fit, I think :P I'm not sure if there are proper subtitles for it, but if you'd be interested, I'll gladly make some (obviously also trying to explain some more problematic linguistical things) ;) Also, as for some other suggestions - Limo, Smile and Ani Mru Mru were in my opinion among the best groups in the best period of these :)

[@KreatywnyKajetan]

One of the best sketches ever made by Polish cabaret comedians, I suppose. :D You've also had a pleasure to see its premiere, so some parts are clearly improvised from scratch, best parts maybe when those guys compete in provoking each other to keep their poker faces when it's so damn hard. :D (later you've mentioned corpsing in your video -- confirmed, it was improvised in so many parts that when Neo-Nówka included this sketch in their programme after the premiere it wasn't so funny anymore for most of the viewers) 2:00 -- the reason they called it Blue Line is as you've stated, it's an emergency hotline related to mental health or abuse. The joke here is based on Polish word 'niebo' which means 'heaven' (and 'sky' as well) while 'niebieski', derived form the word 'niebo', means both the colour 'blue' and 'heaven-related' :) 12:25 -- Yalta Conference, also known as the Crimea Conference, held in 1945, was when Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt met to establish new order in Europe after WWII ; Poland had lost then a vast area of land (traditionally belonging to Poland over centuries before) to the USSR (Russia). The song itself is a parody of a popular hit song by the colab of Polish rapers and satirics, titled "W Aucie" ('In My Car') and the refrain of this song is almost identical phonetically, telling "Będę brał Cię -- w aucie" which means "I will HAVE you ('take you' in subs is a translational false-friend here) -- in my car" ; 'aucie' ('car') and 'Jałcie' ('Yalta') is very similar phonetically and this is what makes a point for that joke. ;) 'Where?' and 'Aha." are also taken straight from the refrain of that song. 18:53 -- also taken from some popular Polish song, while that required a lot of creativity and cultural knowledge to twist the text in a way as the comedian playing Lucien (and St Peter) has done it. This guy is awesome. ;)

[@bessarion1771]

The "Hornbeam" reference (which you missed) at 19:52 is from an insanely popular Polish series "Czterej Pancerni i Pies " (The Four Tankers and a Dog), where the call sign of the titular tank (during any radio communication) was "Hornbeam 1." (Grab Jeden). Here is a fragment with that call sign (at 0:12s) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5OklGWmnspmi7c

Z wikipedii about Jałta: "The Yalta Conference, also known as the Crimea Conference, held 4-11 February 1945, was the World War II meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union to discuss the postwar reorganization of Germany and Europe."

Regarding this text about Yalta, here is a quote from Wikipedia: The term Yalta Betrayal was used by émigré, independence and then right-wing circles to refer to the concessions of the Western Allies to the USSR at the expense of Poland made without the knowledge of the Poles at the Tehran (change of the eastern border - Curzon Line), Yalta (Soviet sphere of influence) and Potsdam (compensation for the change of borders) conferences. The findings of the Tehran Conference were concealed from the London Government. The issue came out after the Yalta Conference and took its name from it. The concept is extended to similar Allied actions, e.g. the Allies' passivity in 1939 (the strange war) or the surrender of Czechoslovakia in 1938 (the Munich Agreement)

[@malwinajakubowska9621]

The Yalta conference, which started on February 4, 1945, even now is considered in Poland as a betrayal by Western allies. The summit, attended by the leaders and ministers of the Soviet Union, the US, and the United Kingdom, divided Europe into two spheres of influence and left Poland, as well as the other Eastern European countries, subjected to Soviet rule for many decades. During the talks led by Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, which lasted over a week, a number of arrangements were made regarding strategic cooperation in the final phase of WWII and the future of the world after the war. However, Poland was the most thorny issue. As Winston Churchill wrote: "Poland was, in fact, the most urgent reason for convening the Yalta conference and it became the first of the major reasons that led to the breakup of the Great Coalition." As a result of the talks, it was decided that the Provisional Government operating in Poland under the patronage of Stalin would be the legitimate, recognised by the UK and the US, government of Poland. After its formation, the new government was obliged to carry out "free and unrestricted elections as soon as possible". In the statement from the Yalta Conference, there was no mention of the Polish Government In Exile in London, which was, by that time, still recognised by the US and the United Kingdom as Poland’s legitimate government. Disregarding the pleas of Roosevelt and Churchill, Stalin refused to leave Lviv in Poland. Poland lost nearly half of its territory - the Eastern Borderlands, in return receiving eastern German lands, Gdańsk, Pomerania, and Masuria. On February 13, 1945, the Polish Government-in-Exile stated that "the decisions on the Polish case cannot be recognized by the Polish Government and can not apply to the Polish Nation. The newly drawn Polish-Soviet border will be considered as another partition of Poland, this time carried out by Poland's allies." As a result of the decisions made at the Yalta conference, Poland was left in the Soviet sphere of influence for several decades. The balance of power agreed in Yalta changed only in 1999, when Poland joined NATO, as one of the first Eastern European countries.

There is a whole plethora of references, practically every sentence is a different reference to something well known in Poland. To explain everything you would need to make a video at least 2 times as long as this one. Also "Polacy mi kocioł rozkręcają." Is not about destroying a cauldron but disassembling, taking it apart. "Polak wszystko potrafi." - "Polack/Pole can do anything." Actually"rozkręcać kocioł " can also mean "starting a chaotic party", but it was more of a regional saying.

[@maciejdrzewinski6480]

Unfortunately, it is not possible to translate the text literally into English. One must also be familiar with Polish context to understand the nuances of this sketch. The best part is that the comedian playing Saint Peter and Lucifer forgot the lines while portraying Lucifer and had to improvise. That's why the comedians couldn't hold back their laughter :)

"Będę brał Cię w aucie" (I will take You in a car) was a part of an old Polish song. They switched "w aucie" to "w Jałcie" which means "I will take You in Yalta". It's reference to conference in Yalta, 4-11 Ferbruary 1945. Poland has been moved into political influence of Sovet Union there.

[@hubertwlazy1909]

@Rob Reacts To understand properly this fabulous piece of art, you really need to feel in polish mood, country situation and politics. but a little bit explanations: Blue Line, for this case, you need to convince that in polish blue line, in this case it's like a heaven line. And this is mixed - heaven & real blue line, You call to heaven for "a rescue" :) Visas to US - every goverment promises Poles, that they negotiate free visas to US, and no gov made that promise. And for that is a joke - it would be easier to get visas to Belarus (no one know for what?!) in front of US. Windows 95 - it's like, we promise you worst old car or something, but you'll be happy. Dratewka was shoe-maker, that get an idea to put sulfur into a sheep to kill the Cracow's dragon. In Yalta, Churchill, Roosvelt and Stalin decide to put Poland into Russian influence to give Stalin free way to set communist goverment. ANd this is why Poles are pissed of, when Russian are singing - we will take You... in Yalta... Song about Yalta is the parafrase of one polish popular song - I will get you - where? - in a car - where? - in a car. Song is about getting girl for having sex in a car. Last train station about getting someone - it's about getting someone to hang (guy with guy) so long and hard as possible. Shame of friend - it should be translated as - You've ashamed about mate? Akcja wszywka - this is translated as Disulfarm - it's about to make huge massive action to stop drinking alcohol.

blue line kolor niebieski kojarzy się z niebem, ale sama niebieska linia raczej nie cieszy się zaufaniem przynajmniej w mojej okolicy. Co do kradzieży miedzi z bramy było kilka głośnych spraw związanych z kradzieżą kabli miedzianych min z linii telekomunikacyjnych, lub bezpośrednio z pociągów. poza tym Polacy podobno słyną niestety z kradzieży co nie jest tak naprawdę częstsze niż w innych krajach tylko jest specyficzne np kable. Wiza na Białoruś też żadna atrakcja XD. Józefa było czyli był na imieninach i mocno popił alkohol. Dużo jest z historii polski zdarzeń np z wąsami to Lech Walęsa i w zasadzie skecz jest śmieszny bo pokazuje w skrócie mentalność Polaków i ich przywary z których się śmiejemy. Krystyna Czubówna- polski lektor bardzo spokojnie czyta. Tekst "kolegów się wstydzisz" też się pojawia kiedy napity kumpel mówi do drugiego. białego wciągacie oprócz z wiadomą rzeczą tez kojarzy się z niebem. Co z nami będzie gdy spotkamy się na zakręcie to tekst piosenki. Brawa się pojawiły bo ten lucyfer to był ten aktor co gra tego Piotra. Dwaj bliźniacy : Jarosław i Lech Kaczyńscy.
