He sounds funny in Russia. In the country of the subject it's not funny because it's truth. |

Well, no, actually. Most of what he swears left and right as being true is quite often grossly exagerrated. He frequently presents some odd story as being the norm for that country (particularly the US), when it can really only be viewed as a weird coincidence (if it in fact actually happened).
I understand he may be doing it for the humor aspect, but I've met a lot of people who have false perceptions because they listen to Zadornov and take what he says as fact.
I also think it sounds as if he's showing off. Why do all his stories have to revolve around how travelled he is and some trip he made ?
But that's my opinion, and it is, of course, subjective.
There are a number of comedians that are relatively popular. Galkin's er another one that I'm sure people will be opinionated about.... |

| That's not true, Camrade. I have two or three Goblin translations, and I find them very funny. You underestimate the language skills of foreigners. |

Funny translations by Goblin are only for russians. Jokes only about russian mentality/life/etc. Foreigner woun't get the humour, do you know what I mean? |

Just a joke-
The Americans and Russians at the height of the arms race realized that if they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up the whole world. One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight. They would have five years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world.
The Russians found the biggest meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and bred them with the biggest meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, removed his siblings, which gave him all the milk. After five years they came up with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen.
Its cage needed steel bars that were five inches thick and nobody could get near it.
When the day came for the dog fight, the Americans showed up with a strange animal. It was a nine foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly last 10 seconds with the Russian dog.
When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of it's cage and slowly waddled over towards the Russian dog. The Russian dog snarled and leaped out of it's cage and charged the American dachshund. But, when it got close enough to bite the Dachshund's neck, the Dachshund opened it's mouth and consumed the Russian dog in one bite.
There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.
The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. "We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for five years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and the biggest meanest Siberian wolves."
"That's nothing", an American replied. "Do you know how hard it is to make an alligator look like a Dachshund." |

Comrade,
I agree if you mean foreigners in the sense of tourists. Of course, if you don't know Russia or its language well, you won't get Goblin, but there are some foreigners who know Russian culture very well. I know several 'Expatriates' who are exceptionally well-integrated into Russian culture and humor. |
