      The shop worker, initially did said that he was butcher weak ago. It is why he think about doors from point of view of his previous job. So it is not a Polish thing, to be clear. At the same time client is extra ignorant about basic subject.

      ''I sleep in the legs'' 9.54 - Polish expression for describing the exact position in bed while sleeping. The bed has a head with pillows for a sleeper head and the opposite direction is for the sleeper s legs. The customer says he sleeps upside down, in bed his head is where the legs should be resting = sleeping in the legs.

    1. Actually, that slaughter bit does not make any sense in Poland. He just put it in, and it kinda worked.
    2. Sleep in the legs is OK. Especially when there are more people than there are beds, like in student houses after party or when your family came in, and people have to go to bed together but without any (like ANY WHATSOEVER) s***** connotation, some would sleep normally, and some in the legs - perpendicular to the others and opposite side of bed to where the pillow is. (Not related to the sketch, the other method is to sleep in a way of a Jack - one person sleeps normally, the other has their legs on the pillow - like a card Jack )
    3. The phrase 'I am about to loose my patience or you're about to loose your teeth' is brilliantly done by the translator. The word for word would be like 'I'll get a stroke or you get a strike' and literally "I'am going to get brain hemorrage or I will hit you" - now you can appreciate what the translator did here. Brilliant.
    4. You missed the final punchline:
    LEFT OR RIGHT?
    REVOLVING!
    ...
    To the left or to the right?

    It's because he was a butcher for whole life, he can't think about nothing else now. It's the comedy of a situation where we have to ask someone for something trivial, and this someone doesn't know anything about it, because he's been skinning all his life. It is kinda, funny how unlucky costumer can be.

      Well, there's one more thing you people seem to overlook completely. To a person who has never bought door it seems like a regular purchase. You decide what colour you like, the size you need and how much you can afford to pay. In fact, it's a far more complicated thing and it takes many people by surprise. Whether the door is left or right, the frame choice, whether the door should fold or hide into the wall. That's surprisingly complicated and time consuming. The audience were probably going back to their first time when they tried buying door and were blissfully unaware of what they got into. Thanks to the comedy group I was a little better prepared than the client from the show.

    "To sleep in the legs" here is the literal translation of Polish "spać w nogach", which means to sleep on the foot end of a bed (like cats or small dogs sometimes do).
    Anyway, this is one of my favorite comedy sketches. I'm always afraid to go to a DYI store and ask for something, for they always ask tons of these questions which I can hardly understand.

      I think it not only means to sleep at this side of bed, but to literally sleep on someone else's legs (like pets do sometimes). This is a running joke in Poland: "you sleep at the legs", which makes fun of someone, as someone doesn't even have their own place to sleep and they are humiliated to sleep at someone's feet in bed. It's a dry humor, I love it 😅

  • @adam7264
    @adam7264 Год назад +85

    Actually this sketch may look very similar to the old Monty Python's. The idea of door seller who used to be a butcher reminds me a sketch about hairdresser who used to be a lumberjack. Also, there was a sketch with a seller to whom you needed to communicate using special language - when you needed mattress you had to ask about kennel, otherwise he put a bag on his head 🙂
    BTW, KMN stands for "Kabaret Moralnego Niepokoju" which literally means "Cabaret of Moral Anxiety" 😀

    This group is called the Kabaret Moralnego Niepokoju (Cabaret of Moral Anxiety). KMN is just an internet abbreviation. The name is a reference to the "cinema of moral anxiety", an important trend in Polish cinematography in the 1970s, which contested the communist system and contributed to changing the mentality of Poles. The KMN group is made up of graduates of Polish literature studies and the leader is Robert Górski ('butcher'). He often talks about politics and can say almost anything in Poland. The most important politicians are happy when Górski parodies them. Unfortunately, most Polish comedy groups have a much lower level.

    9:50 'sleeping in legs' is basicaly reference to the way poor families used to sleep in previous century. Basicaly poor people had less beds than family members so many of them slept in one bed- some in 'correct' possition- with heads on pillow and some in reverse position- with their heads next to legs of the other group... hence the saying ' to sleep (in/between) legs'

      "spać w nogach" = "sleepin' in the legs"
      I think this is something completely different.
      1. "sleepin' in the legs" is a term that describes a situation where a pet sleeps in a bed. then he usually lies in the part of the bed where the feet are.
      i.e. on the opposite side from the headrest. And this is a position across the bed.
      2. The term is also used contemptuously for people who do not deserve to sleep in a normal position, thus reducing the person's status to a pet.
      In this context, the saying is an idiom. that is, a phrase that loses its meaning in a linear translation.
      3. "what do you know, you sleep in your legs" such a phrase defines the intellectual superiority of the interlocutor over the listener. another thing is that often imagined superiority. either way it discredits or attempts to discredit the person to whom these words are addressed.

That was a way of sleeping in poor families that couldnt afford enough beds for whole family. So many people would sleep in same bed- some in natural position with head on pillows and others in reverse position- with head between legs of other people (also having their legs put into direction of other people heads)

    All the refferences to the butchery is linked to this salesman first statement that he used to work in a buthery a week ago but now he works here and he keeps geting confused. So its not a "polish joke" but just making fun of his confusion in a new workplace
    Edit: 4:42 and here comes the revelation xD
    The "I sleep in the legs" means basically that he sleeps the other way around. If the bed has this part behind the head to keep the pillow on it then this is the "head side", so what he does he just lies down with his legs pointing in that dirction and his head twards the "leg side". This is also sometimes reffered to a dog as dogs often sleep "in the legs" as they climb on the bed and sleep next to someones legs. So maybe he just rolls up "in the legs" and sleeps there. Those are the options.

    • @anuskas9244
      @anuskas9244 Год назад

      Sleep in the legs also means that one person sleeps on one side of the bed and the other person sleeps on the other side, just the other way around, this person has their head next to the first person's legs and their legs next to the head. I don't know why, but some houses used to sleep like that, especially if the children slept with their parents 😉 I saw it in some old movie but I don't remember which one

  • @miliobyw
    @miliobyw Год назад +1

    At the beginning of the movie it is stated that the salesman worked previously in a slaughterhouse as a butcher - WHICH MEANS - that he is not a professional furniture salesman. This is where all the following comedy threads start. Both the salesman and the customer are both morons, which is emphasized by defining the door as an entrance & exit. Which is trivial and can only be taken seriously by idiots!!! The salesman still struggles to detach himself from his previous work as a butcher. Hence, he converts everything into murdered pigs and calves that are completely incompatible with the current job. And he does it without remorse. If you watch the movie a few times, you will understand the Polish joke in 100 percent.

Jest powiedzenie "w nogach śpisz , mało wiesz" To znaczy, że nie jesteś kimś ważnym. A tu jest dowcip- śpi na odwrót , więc cały wywód o ręce jest do bani.

  • @adamnowak276
    @adamnowak276 Год назад

    "Sleep in the legs" is actually a faulty translation. What he meant was "sleeping in the foot of the bed" or "sleeping head to toe". This is where you sleep with your feet at the headboard, usually when there's another bed occupant and sleeping in this position seems slightly more comfortable for both users. Here, the buyer by saying "I sleep in the foot of the bed" merely wanted to point out that the assistant's explanation is useless, because he sleeps in a different way than most people.

    Sleeping in the legs means opposite side to the headboard. So when you sleep with someone you have your head next to that persons legs. It was used in the sketch to confuse left side with right side again. Seller was explaining which hand is under the belly and which one is facing the wall while the client said he sleeps in the legs anyway so the sides are confused again.

    His position while sleeping was perpendicular to the wall.

    Well, jokes about slaughtering things are common in Poland, but most of them are about WWII. We actually have a lot of jokes about dying and killing...
    For example: two German soldiers are walking on the Polish streets 15 minutes before the night. They see a running civillian and one of them shoots him. The other asks: "Why did you do this? He still had 15 minutes!". The first one answers: "He was my friend and I know, where he lives. He wouldn't make it".

    9:55 "i sleep in the legs" it means he sleeps "upside down", so he keeps his head on this side of the bed, where you should keep your legs. it came from when you sleep with other people/person in the same bed, and you are sleeping between their legs

    To sleep in the legs actually means to sleep in the lower part of the bed when the legs usually are. You can say for example that your dog sleepsin the legs which means that he sleeps with you in that lower part of the bed next to your legs. It's a pretty common slang phrase here.

    -What happened?
    - I went into dentist office, sat into chair, opened my mouth, pointed at acheing tooth and said: HERE(in Polish 'TU' which sounds exactly like English 'two')...and dentist extracted 2 of my teeth...
