    The sketch is famous because of it's overall surreal, Pythonesque humor, not just because how are they dressed, but what they do as these vampire-like characters, kinda of like an Addams Family skit.

    Dodam jeszcze, że wtedy kabaret w Polsce miał jeszcze aspiracje artystyczne, które były bliżej teatru niż estrady. Być może chodzi o sam klimat i przyjemność z oglądania sztuki.

    Personally I would not translate beginning as Leonardo DiCaprio disgusting. I would use word very ugly. Its supposed to show how the father thinks people we would consider "stars and handsome" in their world are ugly and to father "Tofik" is original so in their head better than Leonardo or Clooney. Tofik aswell seems to like Britney but father teaches him to say she is ugly aswell. Its supposed to work on contrast between world views I guess. Aswell him walking crowling is another thing like this. Tofik crawling is considered "normal" for them and when Tofik start walking like we do he is told by father to "walk normally" and he instantly start crawling again. Its another showing how different and oposite their world supposed to be.

      The caption note ruined the "walk properly" joke. Pausing the video mid sketch. What a misstep. Also I'd replace "Me wants candy " to something like "Man-eater wants something Sweeter!" Such a disaster, instead of silly dracula-phantom shenanigans.

  • @akemiflameborg
    @akemiflameborg Месяц назад +22

    The translation is way off... In the beginning, it is about the people. It's not "it's ugly" but "he's ugly" (btw, I think the word ugly describes better what they said). Also "ludożerka chce cukierka" - one word was completely omitted in the translation. "Ludożerka" means "human-eater".

    Polish humour is often based on wordplay specific only to the Polish language. This is why non-Polish speakers will not understand it, as it is difficult to translate, for example into English, parts of speech conjugated by cases, counts and types.
    Another type of humour popular in Poland is self-irony. And with this kind of humour, you need to have a good understanding of the Polish mentality embedded in Polish culture. While a Pole understands the humour of the English, American, French etc. quite well, because he has watched a lot of comedies from those countries in his life, foreigners rather rarely reach for Polish comedies.
    Polish humour is more abstract, absurd and sarcastic. English humour is also more abstract, absurd and sarcastic, if you consider Mr. Bean and Monty Python's Circus, so we do have some common traits when it comes to humour. I love Mr Bean myself, but I have many friends who don't find it funny at all and don't understand what's funny about it. So they have something in common with you. You don't quite understand Polish humour either.

    I think the translation is not perfect.
    For instance the celebs - they commented them as very ugly rather than disgusting.
    Very ugly makes sense because rather Tofik and his father are ugly, but it shows the point of view may be relative. This is critique of being jealous - they clearly are. Or maybe they just have different standards, but as we see Tofik actually likes Brithney Spears, even if for conservative dad ... she is ugly.
    There is also critique of superstitious nature of the people - who use garlic and crucifix on someone who looks different. On another hand they're are monsters, so at the end of the day, we cannot be sure if that garlic and crucifix ain't good :D - specially that sketch ends when dad sends his vampire-son to "play" with some lady from 1st row.
    Why it may be not funny outside of Poland? I can only imagine it may be caused by PC. In the west joking about anyone who looks different is so much unacceptable, so even joking about look and feelings of actual monsters causes western people to feel uncomfortable,
    After all, western culture presents many monsters as actually human-like creatures. Starting from cartoons for children, ending up on popular movies.
    Also this sketch is too close to some cultures. In Poland there was not many representatives of the culture could be confused with Tofik, but in western countries, we actually see some culture with similar look and that people are afraid off (but they keep this in secret because of PC).
    So maybe that's why it may be not so funny.
    This is just a ques,
    God bless :)

    Yes you've missed one. Exactly when you paused and focused on captions you've lost this funny moment withh walking gag cause it was situational comedy and you should watch this whole scene without pausing. Yeah it wasnt super funny but still it was a bit funny and there is more. In that time when this sketch was realeased everyone in Poland knew it and everyone was quoting it in all possible situation so it started to live it's own life. This is probably the reason why it is so popular in Poland

  • @tealobsession5663

    To me this skit is more close to The Adams Family type of humor, it's funny, clever play on vampire tropes mashed with daily life struggles sprincled with absurd humor. Prolly not your cup of tea.
    Thou some translations could be better to make it easier to follow, like at the start when they were reading celebrities names it said "disgusting" but i'd just use simple "ugly" (vampire dad was commenting on their looks how he finds them unattractive)
    Never found it very "polish" to understand the jokes or even know other skits or shows (maybe except for the "Tata a Marcin powiedział")

    "Tofik" made AMM famous. It is perfect from the beginning to the end. The entrance of the Dad on Mozart's G-minor Symphony (K. 183) sets up the scene and the mood of the sketch.
    For me, this is about what the childhood of Igor from Young Frankenstein was like.
    I never thought about it as of specifically Polish humour. But seemingly it is. Maybe the translation this time did not do justice to the text. But it may not be the reason. There may be something to it, that I can not name at the moment.
    BTW the bit is over 20 years old. Di Caprio, Clooney and Britney were all young and pretty. That is why calling them ugly is funny by contrast. Most everything in the sketch is based on contrast and expectation/realisation discrepancy. The structure is perfect.

    This is kind of: if Addam's family were created in Poland. There's even famous the Hand for a moment there. In polish version of the movie kids would use a garlic and teachers the cross to drive out the evil spirit from him. Evil people would gossip about everyone around. As we say 'you see the mote that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the beam that is in your own eye'. Many of those comedies have deeper meaning.

    Huh, some translations are inaccurate.
    1. Dad actually call celebrities ugly.
    2. Tofik when he wanted a candy referred to himself as "little female man-eater", not "me"
    And I'm also surprised how short an unfunny it is. Thought that it was longer and they would diss more celebs.
    You see, people most likely like (lol, najprawdopodobiej lubią, that sound weird in english) it because of nostalgia and situational humor.

Just like Brits were singing "Always look on the bright side of life" at correspoding times.

    from a very objective pov this particular performance was in no way worse than other ones, in fact it's one of the most iconic ones so yeah it's def not "funny cuz it's not funny", it's perfectly funny for ppl from this area from a very paricular generation, you can call it a boomer humor but yeah ppl are not faking liking this one, my parents were shedding tears watching it

    Up to some point I’m not surprised you didn’t like it, however whoever made translation made me think that he hated this sketch, or did not understand fully what it makes so funny, because it was made in rush, just to make it without given second thought, not even putting heart in it.
    On the other hand your reaction even with disliking it was fun to watch. But thank you for trying. Polish humour has a lot of sarcasm and self-irony, in Poland vampires hates garlic, cross, and sun light is deadly for them.
    For a man another man will never be pretty no matter how handsome he is, is the first gag. For the second there is much more hidden context: Centuries ago beautiful woman was a fat woman, and now women to be pretty need to be shaped like a Barbie dolls (like models: skin and bones with big boobs - reference to Britney Spears) so for those two ugly monsters beautiful celebs were ugly is funny, because it’s reversed point of view etc.
    Shame for translation to not given more efforts to it.

    This sketch is one of many examples that are difficult to translate due to the different cultural code in Poland. Many of our older cabarets are multi-level stories. I have noticed that when there is no funny gag within 10 seconds, you start to get impatient. You stop the recording, wonder what is going on and make it even harder to understand the situation. I wonder how you would react to Kabaret Hrabi. There, 80% is untranslatable, while people roll around laughing.

Lubimy jak kabarety inteligentnie odwołują się do znanych nam tekstów. Czasem ze swoich skeczów, czasem ze skeczu innego kabaretu. W Polsce kabarety lubią się i często razem występują tworząc wspólne skecze, to jest fajne, bo nie rywalizują ze sobą tylko współpracują i to tworzy fajny klimat wspólnej zabawy.

    You need to consider that most of the sketches you're watching here are among the most popular and best in Poland, created years after Tofik. You didn't like the Chinese restaurant sketch either, probably because you set your standards very high from the beginning. Those were some of their first sketches on national TV, and their writing skills improved significantly after that. When these sketches premiered, they were new and fresh, and most people in Poland watched them.

    I think there is one more thing. The person who acts as Tofik is known for his specific facial expressions. Everybody thinks it is very funny when he uncovers his face, because everybody expected it will be very funny. Anyway, respect to you that you clearly say that you don't like this sketch. Maybe you could try Czerwony Kapturek of Ani Mru Mru?

    Aww, I'm so sad that you don't find this one to be funny :( I was so happy to see the notification
    Now I watch it, from what I see it's some old version of this joke and I remember the one where there was a bit more things added to it, ie when Toffik asks if he's weird, the dad starts replying "you're not weird, you're just-", looks at Toffik who started to swing his arms back and forth with a dumb face and with tiny bit of irritation the dad finishes: "...you're original."
    I also think the beginning with the howling was weird and too long and I don't remember this part from the versions that I watched. The lighting seems so dark on that scene in general.

Look what happened to the girl who won Miss Rzeszów even though she's literally Polish. We're an extremely xenophobic country, but unlike countries like Japan you don't even have the courage to admit it.

    Admittedly, I'm not the greatest fan of Tofik myself either. The reason it's so popular is a combination of several factors:
    1. Polish contemporary cabaret scene's "golden age" for this generation was in late 1990s to early 2010s. That's the period most of the sketches you react to were created (sure, many were altered/re-made with time, but we're talking about the original ideas). As such the target audience were mainly Gen X and Millennials (Boomers had their own cabaret scene with the likes of Dudek, Tey, or Olga Lipińska's cabaret).
    2. When those original skits came to existence, Millennials were still kids, teens at most. I was 13 or 14 when Tofik premiered. And what's funny for a typical 13yo? A weird grotesque character with funny voice, silly movements, and a subtle touch of titilation. Definitely not "adult life" references like politics, taxes, marital issues, bosses/customers from hell, etc. Those latter skits worked very well for Gen X viewers, but you need to attract kids and teens as well for a "family entertainment" show. So a quirky vampire kid with a secret crush on Britney (something teens in those times definitely could relate to)? He was hillarious to that target audience. Also, it's somewhat similar in tone to The Addams Family which was very popular among Millennials here in the 90s-2000s. If you hummed their theme song in a room full of Polish Millennials, I could bet that at least 50% would follow with the double finger snap even today.
    3. Add to that the nostalgia factor which certainly is a thing. Experiences from our past, especially childhood seem better than they really were in hindsight. And oftentimes even when we return to those old memories when we're older and more mature we still tend to look at these particular parts of our youth via rose-tinted glasses. It will never be the same to someone who has no connection to their own past watching it.
    Combine those three factors and you have a perfect storm for legendary status. I'm immune to nostalgia so while I used to like Tofik much more in the past (being their target audience to a T), these days I do consider it one of the worst AMM skits (as now those "adult-life" skits are more funny to me, just like to those Gen X viewers two decades ago).

  • @MrAdik861
    @MrAdik861 20 дней назад

    Well we can agree on the fact that not all humour is for everyone ;) You'd have to be a Pole living in Poland 20 years ago. Our mindset back then might have been a bit different than today, and especially than today in UK. In this sketch there are certain references to Polish culture and media, which a Brit or any other national will not understand. Also the humour here is absurd and grotesque (like when Tofik, as creepy and mysterious as he looks, begins speaking with a voice of a somewhat normal child 😁), something not everyone values (we Poles value it very much). Plus the fact that 20-25 years ago we had no horror movies we have today, so back then a Dracula-esque skit would have made some impression as still somewhat inventive.

    Although I was born in Poland, at the age of 8, I started watching "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and later "Blackadder" with Rowan Atkinson. I grew up with a sense of absurdity, which developed my ability to spot absurdities in social life, conventions, and various social norms. Over time, I noticed that people react to cabarets and stand-up shows in a predictable way, as they are conditioned to respond to specific "funny" moments, but they lack a true sense of absurdity.
    Because of this, Polish cabarets often rely on cultural clichés or stereotypes from everyday life, reflecting what is typical for the so-called "average Joe." Unfortunately, they portray the lives of the most rigid people, making the humor very predictable. In Poland, there is often a lack of genuine sense of humor, and people tend to react conventionally where they are expected to, in a predictable manner.

    This is basically one of first shetches that made cabaret groups, (Ani Mru Mru in the first place) popular again (in beginning of 2000s) after 90ties when they kind of strugguled. Cabarets were popular during communism but in 90-ties the format needed a refreshment as in 90ties they were usually taking about politics only and were rather poor, often performed by a singel comedian as sort of stand up show. Ani Mru Mru made the cabaret group and staged format with characters, expressive acting and abstract plots but often with jokes relatable to everydfay life very popular and opened a path for many other new groups. Second group which also should thank for that is KMM (Kabaret Moralnego Niepokoju)

    For me the funny in this kebaret was always the pronunciation (no wrong in any way, but just the way they say some words for example "Brzydal - ugly") and that part is just impassible to be funny if you don't know the language very well specifically you have to know the language from hearing only then you can hear that the word "tune" is slightly different, or that some one is mimicking accent or someone specific way of speaking. I like to come back from time to time to Gabriel Iglesias stand-ups, for that reason, and see what new things i get that i did't get for for the first, second... ... fifth time, becouse the first time i watched his ~10min long video on YT was about 6 years ago, and i know that since then i came a long way in learning English. And yes I know although my speaking and hearing improved a lot, my grama and writing still sucks 😜 working on it i promise

    In those days we had cabarets that made people laugh a lot, e.g. the Mumio cabaret. I'm sure you wouldn't laugh once if you watched it now. Poles are currently laughing more out of sentiment, but now the level of humor has significantly raised the bar after so many years. I recommend Abelard Giza's stand-up comedy titled "hunters" or "Bangladesh".

    As a Pole, I never understood why people like that sketch so much, for me it was always one of the worst of all Ani Mru-Mru sketches. I guess it being something different and exotic for polish community at the years it was created made it somewhat funny in its own way. But it's not something I ever watch laughing from ear to ear. There are tons of actually funny sketches of AMM you didn't watch (unless I missed it), Chinese Restaurant, Sanatorium, letter to Pipa (it's one of the english related ones, you're gonna have a lot of fun with this one for sure), Father's always right and many many more cool ones.
    I'd recommend letter to Pipa the most as one of them pretends to know english and they write an answer letter in english to a girl named Pipa (which is a joke in itself for polish people), it has a lot of direct, straight polish to english translations that doesn't really work so it can be funny as hell and educational of polish sayings / phrases at the same time.

    What’s more, cabaret is not popular anymore among younger generation in PL. We consider it funny only for boomers. Stand-up is the new sexy. I think only Mert-Pol channel is watching Polish stand-up and he enjoys it. Rafał Paczes, Abelard Giza, Piotrek Szumowski - you should start with these guys.

    It's a great sketch, but the subtext is deeply rooted in something indescribable. It is undeniably funny to me, but on the conscious level I can't point to any moment of the sketch and say "this joke is funny, because..." I feel the same about some Ireneusz Krosny's sketches, so maybe the secret ingredient is the mimic layer - and since language of Polish facial expressions is clearly different than Western one, that something might be impossible to translate.
