Ray Chen, I got another viola joke for you: There is an empty room with a table with a cake in the middle. In each corner is standing someone: Santa Claus, a quick violist, easter bunny and a slow violist. Then all lights go out. When they go on again, after a while, the cake is gone. Who ate the cake??? Answer: the slow violist. Easter bunny, Santa Claus and the quick violist don't exist!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bit of an reverse Viola joke: A orchestra was looking for a new violist and was hosting an audition with the section leaders of the string instruments as judges. Every single violist played either the Stamitz concerto or the Hoffmeister concerto. After the sixth candidate, the section leader of the 2nd violin had enough: "Only Stamitz and Hoffmeister: Don't you violists have something else as repertoire?" The candidate replied: "Remind me again, how many solo pieces exist written for second violin?"
I tried to post the three-part version of this joke (with the violinist, cellist and the two violists) and RUclips removed the comment thinking I'm trying to spam with the words "violist" and "sh*t" I'm dying xD ok wait let me try to edit it in: -What did the violinist say to the violist? -What? -'You're sh*t.' ... What did the cellist say to the violist? -(wheezing) What? -'You're sh*t.' ... What did the violist say to the violist? -(crying) 'You're sh*t'? -'We're sh*t.' -(dies at the glory of the stupid joke)
Hey I’m a huge fan of you Ray Chen! You changed my life!! I bought tickets to go see you in Brisbane later this year in August but I don’t think that I can go because of the virus 🙁. I had front row seats right in front of Ray Chen. That concert would probably be the best concert I would ever go to. But Ray if you see this; thank you for changing my life and brining music into it. You showed me the meaning to my life (music) and that’s the path I’m taking now. I’m going to become a professional violinist (that’s the plan anyway).
I wish you good luck! I would also like to learn the violin professionally but unfortunately I think I'm too old for that 😕 is there anyone here who started learning relatively late but still got into music university?
@@shoham2792 My piano teacher went into university as a STEM major, then changed to piano in his third year. It's never too late to pursue music! Best of luck to you!
KAORU Banana The joke is that it’s easier to make peace in Israel and the areas around than make a violist play good. I laughed so hard, didn’t expect that punch line!
xandra xandra Hi! Thank you for your explanation! I just watched the video again and understood the meaning!! This is so funny! Amihai has an awesome sense of humor!! I love that! Thank you 😊💕
This is the best viola joke ever One of the hardest violin etude books is called dont. So they transcribed it to cello and called it wont but when the transcribed it to viola they called it cant
Short version: Violist: God please make me greater than any violist could ever be God: Ok it's done Violist found him seated in the back of the second violins in a highschool orchestra.
A man is on safari in Africa. The guide tells him, "as long as you hear the drums beating, we are safe." The man asks, "what happens if the drums stop?". The guide replies in horror, "violas start!"
I don't know about TwoSet, but I decided to watch this again after 3 years because of their most recent video "5 violinists vs 1 violinist", there is a pretty good viola joke in it. 😅
Violists and violinists have so ancient history between them. Their mocking emnity lasts for centuries now. Do you know that in gypsy bands the violist is called "kontrás"? Then we have a word "kontár" in the Hungarian language which means bungler.
OK, I've got one. An orchestra was on a concert tour in another country, when suddenly the conductor got deathly ill. They could not find a replacement conductor on such short notice, so the musical director addressed the orchestra at the next rehearsal, asking if anyone knew how to conduct. The violist on the last stand raised his hand, said he originally trained as a conductor, and that he will try his best. He was given the baton and ran through the rehearsal very well. His conducting at the concert was excellent, and he rehearsed and played the next one to acclaim as well. By then the conductor recovered and resumed the podium. At the next rehearsal, when the violist sat back in his viola chair, his stand-mate turned to him and asked, "Where the hell were you?"
An orchestra makes a tour in israel. They stop by at the Sea of Galilee to make a picknick. Everyone is having a good time, just one violist separates from the group and prays: ”Lord, the guys in my orchestra do not take me serious at all. They always make stupid jokes about me, I’m sick of it. Please, Lord, let me do something outstanding for once, like walking on water!“ Said and done, the violist walks over the lake. Back at the place his orchestra colleagues see that and are overwhelmed. The concert master says: ”I cannot believe it ... This guy can’t even swim!“
🤣🤣🤣 the second one!!! Oh god, poor Mehai! That was mean or cruel! I'm not pretty sure wich is the correct adj here hahaha ( english is not my native language) Stay safe 😉
I don’t know if you’re serious... but here’s the explanation in short: It’s easier too make peace in Israel and the middle east than make a viola sound good.
R Ds Hey, we are all joking! My violin teacher was nr. 2 of the violins at the Opera House and could play the viola beautifully too! Viola sounds really great too! Do you know an orchestra without violas? I don't. Just stick to it! And practice 40 hours a day! 😊
basically mihai asked to be the best violist that had ever existed, the genie granted the wish, and mihai became the backdesk second so basically hes saying the best violists are only comparable to backdesk seconds
Clavinerise not necessarily a bad thing, it just means your in the second violin section (harmony rather than melody) and you kinda sit in order of how good you are, so backdesk would mean ur the worst in the section
Oh damn I got it. I thought "map" was refered to the score (like show me the score again) and not the map of israel, so I was really confused. I feel so stupid now.

Until they try Stamitz, then suddenly it doesn't seem too bad 😅
@@renato136 What do you mean "bad" though? Difficulty? The way it's written? I can sort of say "

Best viola joke ever!!!
*Mihai*: can you make my sound more on Rhythm and good intonation
*genie*: show me the map..
Lol!!😆😆😆😆😆
Yesha Valentine could you explain the funny point for me? Didn’t Genie know what is the viola? So he said ‘show me the map’?
KAORU Banana genie agreed that the viola is already out of tune so instead of granting Mihai’s wish Genie ask Mihai to just show the map...

Anyone: Viola-
Ling Ling: Is that a joke?
I like how ray Chen’s map covered violin case was visible in the background after the punchline.
A man is on safari in Africa. The guide tells him, "as long as you hear the drums beating, we are safe." The man asks, "what happens if the drums stop?". The guide replies in horror, "violas start!"
Amihai is so lovable😂
The last joke was very well executed. Should have seen it coming but I didn't 🤣😂
I love how he starts the video with "Boomer Ray"
ayyy
Ray’s hand gestures 😆
Oh my god this is exactly the same viola joke I was hoping it would be
Thanks for making us laugh during these difficult times. :)
I don't even play an instrument but I love viola jokes! This had me in stitches guys!
Violinist: "FACE in the space."

Yes
Yes
The second half of the joke lost me. Is the name of the piece also the name of a city?
No, birnging peace would be easier for the ginnie than make the violist sound good.
The only thing to like about the viola is its E string.
The E on the violin stands for extra
Very handsome (and funny too).
Waiting for twoset😂
Why are viola jokes so simple?
So violinists will understand them ;-)

basically mihai asked to be the best violist that had ever existed, the genie granted the wish, and mihai became the backdesk second
so basically hes saying the best violists are only comparable to backdesk seconds
