I saw this guy just before he moved to America, it was a two and a half hour show, and I swear, everyone was laughing on the floor when it was over. He is a genius.
Ismo oli muistaakseni pääsi jyväskylän yliopistoon fysiikkaa lukemaan mutta ilmiselvästi hänelle oli tarvetta aivan muulla alalla. Mielenkiintoista, että sanat ja niiden merkitykset o Ismon bravuritettiä.
Ismo is very funny, not only because of what he says, but also the way he delivers it. His inflections, changes in the pitch of the voice, erratic movements, all contribute to create the perfect joke
He is the biggest comedian in Finland, of course doesn't do so many gigs here but when he does, he fills in arenas. Has been popular for quite long and why not, he is a natural talent. There are others that are roughly in the same level but it is not easy to switch to English, finnish jokes rely so much on word play. For ex kuusi and kuusi means spruce or number six, depending on the context.. and there are a LOT of those. So it is quite easy to put in a lot of material that rely on the quirks of the weird language that has nothing in common with English. The entire sentence structure is different. Observational comedy translates much better, of course and that is what Ismo does.
I just started studying Finnish (I'm a quarter Finn and I hope to visit once the pandemic has eased enough for us to travel), so I'm grateful for the Finn-related programming. Love Ismo! Also, sinulla on todella sopo chihuahuja. :)
So did you watch Ismo's take on the most important word of the Finnish language? (more like a pair of words but there you go) or about Finnish evolved version of small talk (key word on SMALL).
@@WildwoodVagabond -He performed this Sh!t bit on Conan O'Brien, so it should be easy to find looking up these names together.- This was actually the A$$ bit on Conan, his Sh!t one is on Ismo's channel though.
Ismo is such a smart ass with his humor! Nice to laugh about those cultural differences how he is pointing them out so brilliantly.... You picked up nice video to react... needed to laugh but then think deeper same time... Sounded not so unpleasant, eh? 😄 I can barely breath because of laughing 😄😄😄😄 Thank you, you cheered me up today!
Nightwish army 🤘🇫🇮 Great choice R ! Ismo won 2014 "Funniest Person in the World” title - in international Laugh Factory contest - and then his star began to shine ⭐ he does not use every other word F..k, like a comma, like some stand-up comedians. Stay safe and have beautiful weekend...
when i was listening and hearing ismo speaking finnish and telling his storys he was just ruthles and funny to point i woud be scared to talk to this guy
The reason we switched from pain in the neck to pain in the ass, is because we used to work a lot more so commonly understood what having a sore neck after a long day felt like. Now we sit on our asses all day so that is the common experience. And we have become so lazy that the idea of moving from sitting sounds like hard work, so pulling something out of your ass symbolises actually having to put effort into something.
lumilapio! I love the variety and so cool you got to experience a little bit of Ismo. His material is really similar to what it is in finnish, like thinking about words and what they mean and how they change in different situations. I know this is not really helpful but what ever you do decide to make next reactions or something else I will watch it and pretty sure I ill like it. Have a awesome weekend.
I will be following you gladly, thank you do much for the reactions :) I've seen him live on stage but this whole English thing is new.... and it's awesome xD Thanks again for sharing :)
I have seen many of your videos and liked them all, but this really makes a difference; you're a Finn now. Please continue posting and please visit Finland more often. Wanna have a place to stay for couple of days or so, just ask..
@@smokyislay Yes, the beauty in his comedy is that it's mostly "family friendly" stuff. He has done some gig's in Finnish where he has more R-rated stuff, but that's not why he is so popular. He has a talent to observe things and twist them and find different angles that most don't even think, but when they hear them they're "oh, that's true! "
To be honest. Love it. I followed you before... and then you all the sudden dropped the Nightwish bombs. And now even Ismo! What a treat. Keep it up, not that I expect everything to be about those two, just... I'm beyond excited for later things. :)
I'm from Finland and I have to say , this is exactly how I've thought about English :D It's so funny how languages are so different and you can totally get misunderstood do easily xD My English is not perfect but I've had the same thoughts like Ismo lol.... my teacher after I got outta school lol. Butterflies xD
He hasn't actually moved back for good (as there's so much more audience = money to be made in the US), but they came home just because it's safer/the situation with covid is overall handled a bit better in Finland.
Hi Rachel! :) Ismo is so great, after he move to America, he just get better and better! :) I like watch your channel, hear how you talk about Finland and America's difference's and all other staf! :) And cos you are so nice, polite, so real and genuine!
@@WildwoodVagabond ouh, thank you! ❤️ 😀 I have watched your channel from the first one, really nice, but not necessarily always comment something but now I had a time to do so. 🤗❤️
I work in vacation rental management... here is one of our canned responses:Hello Cheryle, We are excited to host you and your group at Zeka’s Beach Bungalow! Be sure to check your Guest Portal for all your rental information. Please let me know if you have any questions about your upcoming stay. We are NOT excited... we are just possessing your booking.
I Think Ismo could be big star earlier but he hit the horse to head in the tv show where famous people learnt to ride. Woman cried who cared that horse and Ismo was out of the show and not in the tv for years :D
Haha, LOVED this!! I used a English-German dictionary to write a letter to a German woman once. She said she understood what I was trying to say, but a lot of the words I used were "off". Having since heard and read THOUSANDS of non-English-native speakers writing/speaking English, I now know the only way to truly master a language is to have been raised in a country speaking that language. I accordingly take great comfort knowing that if and when World War III goes down, no foreign spy will be able to evade my detection!! >:oD
I have too thank you for the Nightwish journey.It realy makes me happy. I saw a video in which a pregnant Floor sings a Christmas song, with Nightwish in Finnish. Would you please look at that. it's really great, thanks 😘
Ismo what the fuck? There are also a lot of exciting things in Finland ... Of course, it depends on what angle you are looking at and how far you are willing to go. We are not crazy, we are Finns.
I was sitting next to Ismo at Uforock many years back. I didn't know him back then. It was fun to see that he really made fun of all that stuff, but was still respectful. The other presenters made a big deal about how Jesus was an alien spawn and how that was said in the Bible somehow. I'm not a big believer on all that alien stuff, but many people there were. Still Ismo made everyone laugh.
I-m so e-xited is in American NOT a literal set of words but means I suppose NAMASTE or I respect you and see you, well at least that's my interpretation, great vid!
Greetings from Finland. I guess that you already know that he made his U.S. debut in 2014 at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, where he won the title of "The Funniest Person in the World". Just one look at him and it's not hard to understand. P.S. Nice pets you have.
Ismo also has a similar kind of video about the word s.it. Just saying I'm not suggesting you react to that. The performance when he won the title of The World's Funniest Man, was a good one. Was it at Laugh Factory? It's amazing how much he has to say about one word. If it's not too much for you, two videos a week would be nice. One for reaction videos, music and occasionally something else, like this Ismo reaction for example. And another weekly video the way you've been doing for a longer time already. There is a demand, I can tell. Ismo is right. If things that happen every day are great, fantastic and so on, what the heck do you say when someting really exceptionally wonderfull happens? If in Finland after a meal you say it was good, it's not an insult. It's friday evening now, 8pm, in Finland and Port Wine tastes good - not great, not fantastic, but good.) I enjoy watching your videos - but I'm not super excited, only excited😁. Please, don't take that as an insult. Remember I am a Finn, and we don't get excited easily. Though I've noticed I use more superlatives when I use English instead of Finnish. American exaggeration is contageous. See you again Rachael! I love you! That I can say but "Minä rakastan sinua" would be going too far. There is a difference there, don't you think.😆
Haha yeah I understand the difference 😄 thank you for all of your feedback and support. I appreciate it! And I understand and appreciate you not exaggerating. It means something to me. I have been trying to pay more attention to not overusing superlatives but it is a challenge since I am surrounded by those kind of expressions on a daily basis. Have a great weekend!
I like these react videos, do more. About reacts I have found something really nice to react, react finnish youtuber Timo Wilderness WTF - Welcome to Finland -series, that is something really good what foreign people should see and you might also learn something new about Finland.
I saw this guy just before he moved to America, it was a two and a half hour show, and I swear, everyone was laughing on the floor when it was over. He is a genius.

Ismo is my favorite! He’s content is the tip of the Assberg 🤣🇫🇮
Hahaha 😂
Have never seen this comedian before, he looks pretty fun, a finnish in the us can definetly easily find content for jokes there.
Haha yeah for sure. 😄
Ismo Leikola is the winner of the Funniest Person in the World competition in Las Vegas 2014. All can be found in youtube just to search by his name.
His jokes are even better in Finnish (of course because it's his native language) but he really kicks ass in English too :)

Do Americans ever think about what they say? Ismo's observations about American expressions are very accurate and correct.

He does that word playing in finnish too...
Sometimes I say "evil ass" on purpose! 😆
It's awesome to see some people really still care about life.
If there are English speakers here, so at least for the both of you: she said in the lumilapio in Fnnish, meaning 'Snow spade/shovel'.
I liked very much the "time travel" episode. It can be very funny his accurate logic.
You we're more interested in your dogs, than reviewing the content.
I literally can't breathe due to the convulsions I'm experiencing from the super excitement of anticipating your next Izmo video.
