Russian TV reporter gets interrupted right in the middle of his little speech, oh well…
As you know we try to cover most of the new KVN games. For those of you who are not from Russia, KVN is translates as “Club of Happy and Inventive”, which is a Russian humor TV show where teams (usually of college/university students) compete by giving funny answers to questions, improvisations, and perform prepared sketches. On November 8th, the KVN game had turned 47 years old. As a result they did a special game to celebrate the event, where they packed all of the current as well as old teams into three groups “Moscow Team”, “Russian Team”, and the “Guests of the Country” team, for those of you who speak Russian - enjoy it’s a good one…

In 1995, on the main Russian TV channel - Channel 1, most of the viewers felt bewildered by the new clips that were being shown. Since they were so used to seeing commercials between the scheduled programs, they were surprised to see these clips that didn’t advertise anything material to them! All of the clips lasted around 90 second, and had often looked like movie previews. What the people had soon realized, was the fact that these clips were the social ads. They were built on feelings and emotions to which people could connect, they became so popular that many of the lines from the clips were being used by people on the daily basis. To those of you who lived in Russia in the 90s and remembers these clips, this post will serve as a nice flashback, and to whose who don’t speak Russian we’ve tried to translate them. Definitely Watch These Clips!!!
- The soldier’s mother keeps talking to her son, she is soon wondering whether her son is alive or not since he doesn’t seem to respond to her calls. Her son doesn’t answer because he is on duty, soon everyone in the crowd starts cheering so the soldier would at least wave to his mother.
The social message; “Don’t forget about your relatives.”
- One old lady is bickering with the other. Then the one she yells at falls down. At the end they are best friends again.
The social message; “We wish you good health.”
The social message; “This is my city.”
The social message; “To elderly people: We love you”
Bunch of girls sitting down talking about their future plans. One talks about wanting to become a doctor and creating a cure for AIDS, her girlfriend talks about wanting to marry a famous Russian actor, another girl talks about wanting to move to Los Angeles.

Dialogue:
Boy: Do you like it?
Girl: Yes, it’s a very beautiful song.
Boy: Can you see well, do want to get on my shoulders?
Girl: No, no it would be uncomfortable.
Boy: I love you.
Girl: I don’t love you.
Girl: I really really love you.
The social message; “I love.”

Apparently in Russia, life gets a bit boring at times. So a group of guys decided to position themselves directly across from the Russian Parliament building (known as the white house), and project a giant skull and bones unto the building…

We already showed you how moronic some of the Russian drivers are. It is quite popular in Russia to speed through traffic while filming yourself. You’ve seen something similar here, now take a look at these geniuses…
Who said that the Russian Army soldiers can’t sing???
We cover almost all of the performances of our favorite KVN team “Fedor Dvinyatin”. Here is their performances from the 2nd quoter final of the 2008 season. Unfortunately they came in third, so we won’t see them perform until next year. For now, enjoy these clips…
We already showed you some dopey behavior by Russian policemen. Not for a second did we think that we wont have more videos like the ones we showed you then. While the non Russian speaking visitors won’t understand last video in this post, the others should still give them an idea of what some Russian cops do at work…
Well, they do say that you can’t talk on a mobile phone while driving. That idea also extends to the concept of recording something behind the wheel…

So far we’ve shown you two unstoppable trucks, and two indestructible cars that were all still moving even though they had great damage done to them. Here is yet another damaged car whose Russian driver thought that it would be a good idea to drive it…
We already did a huge post where we showed you lots of funny clips of Russian news anchors messing up during live broadcasts, now here is another clip…
There is a river in central Russia called Oka. Some of its beaches are so clean and pure that the sand actually squeaks when you walk on it…
Well, this is obviously not a “Screwed up Russian Wedding“, but it turned out screwed up nevertheless…
