In Soviet Russia, you need to produce female facts to witness that gender! ...huh?

This will never stop being funny :D

Actually, I was just thinking quite the opposite. When is this ever going to be remotely funny?

There was a show in 1986 called "What A Country" with a Russian actor named Yakov Smirnoff. He made statements such as "In Russia, phone company call YOU for information" and "In America, you jump the shark; in Soviet Union, shark jumps you". This has been mocked throughout the years on other shows such as the Simpsons. Recently it began appearing at fark and quickly spread to neffers on message boards around the internet.

I first heard it on Family Guy. Peter had just brough a new Benz with GSP voice-enabled system that could be used in several different accents.

So when Peter showed Loise the Russian accent, the car said "Fork in road ahea. In Soviet Russia, road forks YOU"

cracked me up the first time I heard it :)

I see.. so that's what this stupid Russia thing is all about... I had been wondering lately too.....

In Soviet Russia, 60-year-old men still stuck on Led Zeppelin have sense of humour too.

This is one of those things that's so dumb that it's funny. I get a chuckle from it. :)
