- Finnish comedian Ismo once commanded a military unit and studied physics in college, but chose to follow a career in stand-up comedy instead. It turned out to be the right decision because he's been named "The Funniest Person in the World" after winning a competition at the famous Laugh Factory comedy club in Los Angeles.
His appearance on "Conan" went viral and gained over 70 million views in only 3 days by doing what he does best...breaking down the quirky English language and offering an outsider's perspective to everyday experiences. • Ismo: Ass Is The Most ...
Ismo is performing at the Joke Joint Comedy Club tonight and tomorrow night at 8pm and 10:30pm and Sunday night at 8pm. Tickets start at $14 and are available online at www.jokejointcomedyshowcase.c...

Hats off to Ismo for his unique, intelligent brand of humor and to the interviewer for her genuine interest, charm and warmth.

Hyyvä poika! 🤗
You just happened to be a genuine positive human.♥️
He thinking same as we usual thinks. He only say it more funny way. Respect.
Yes, she's good. She's interested, she has prepared a set of meaningful questions and she lets him actually answer and reacts to what he's saying.

This is the first time i see an american talk show host actually delving in to the culture and geography of a foreign country. Great job 👏👏👏
I was happily surprised about that! Great touch from the show!!!
surprised to see that this guy was in my hometown! There is a lot of diversity here in Houston, must be one of the world's greatest
Never seen the host before but she is great! Felt like she actually was interested and amused by those facts.
And her pronounciation of the Finnish words was good!
The typeface missed the "umlauts", so like "kalsarikänni" really should have ä and not a between k and n.
Thank you!
I agree! actually did her homework and showed a genuine interest!
I ögree, very good houst.
The plastic surgery weirds me out, but she does seem very sweet otherwise.
"You have more saunas than cars. What's up with that?"
"We like to be warm?"
"ohm, we like we warm, yes" couldn't have said it better myself Ismo
I'd say there are more saunas than cars as cars are necassary in the outbacks, and yet the sauna is even more important for life. Sauna is what a holy sweat lodge is to real Americans, who consider Finns and Samis as brothers with an independent indigineous nation. Samis deserve their own, but as for the Finns I must say their language is almost identical with the eleven Sami languages and that makes them rather indigenous with their holy saunas even though they have lost much of their other ways. One love! Yhtä rakkautta! Rahkisvuohttain! Uksi armastus! (in finn/sami/estonian)
@@fixit8492 "real Americans"? The real Americans are the Europeans who make up the American nation.
he said we like to be warm lol
Love the face that she made after Ismo explained "Kalsarikännit", ...getting drunk in your own house in your underwear, with NO intentions of going out... -LOL
Emphazise matter.
The Hungarians (their language is distantly related to Finnish BTW) also have a very funny word where they probably get drunk but at least don't plan on going out. Donaldkacsázás which is translated quite literally as “Donald Ducking”, meaning they walk around at home with a shirt but no pants on.
@@Spetulhu Well D. Duck is most liked character and familiar in Finland... And Swedish are called Gladstone Gender.
Did you knew that back in the 1950-s donald duck comics were banned in Finland. Reason - not wearing pants.

"exotic"? maybe use another word. The word "exotic" sounds very degrading and racist. A foreigner or a finnish person sounds better.

@Ægsnåmet Vjäturþøðikke Yeah but Houston is a city. Not even the biggest city in the country. Finland on the other hand is a whole country. Her statement makes sense both from an American's perspective (Finland is way smaller than the US) and from a statistical perspective (Finland is actually below the median in a list sorted by population (116th out of 233) but definitely by the population's density (172nd out of 194).
Ægsnåmet Vjäturþøðikke
She was talking about the population.
@Ægsnåmet Vjäturþøðikke it was a good comparison so her viewers could understand what a small country is.
@@fcbculeg9226 Yes it must have been the population because otherwise every European country would be a small country (compared to US)
But Europe is bigger than the USA and by average European Union member states and bigger than United States member states.
I dare say that was one of the best interviews I've ever seen. From her team's research to her experienced and authorative and yet humble and inquisitive hosting to Ismo's natural humour that perfectly fits the platform and nice nature. It just couldn't get any better.
My Mom's sister was married to a Finn, I speak Croatian, and we would carry on great conversations...not having any idea what the other was saying. He was a great uncle.
As a Serb, I guess I'm not supposed to understand this completely authentic Croatian language?
(There is no such thing as a Croatian language, there is a South-Slavic group of languages at best, also known as Serbo-Croatian, or Croato-Serbian, depending on how much you care about the exact ordering of the words as if they're supposed to convey nationalism in this context. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbo-Croatian )
@@milanstevic8424 Why even worry or type about this nonsense, even by your wikipedia page ( under "History" "Early development") it says Serbo-Croatian started as Old Church Slavonic, so the language actually originated from Slavonia or Croatia and later when used by regular people it became known as the Croatian version of old slavonic. So from what you're saying I assume you think that Serbian is also not a language but it's also Serbo-Croatian?
@@22222roro what's your logic here? why don't we call your language Proto-Germanic then? there is a reason it evolved into Old English from the fusion of Norse languages and West-Germanic dialects of Anglo-Saxons.
Similarly, Serbo-Croatian was developed from Old Slavonic language group (but not the actual Church variant however, read below). If you didn't know, we are all Slavs: Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, Croats, Slovenians, Serbs, Russians, Ukrainians, and many others.
There is no Slavonia!! There was never a country called Slavonia, there is a region by that name, but contrary to what you're thinking, it's not the birthplace of the Slavs, it was named like that after the fact. Likewise, there is no distinct Croatian language.
Sure, there is a country of Croatia, but Croats actually share their language with at least 4 other populations in the same general area. No, the primary language did not originate in Croatia. If you had read the article with due attention you'd learn that there are three major distinct dialects of Serbo-Croatian, and these are the variants that constitute the whole difference between the nations.
But these differences are so nuanced that Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, and Montenegrins can outright understand each other on their mother tongue. The primary language we all speak is named after the two most dominant speaker nations, Serbs and Croats, and it wasn't named like that by me, it was the international consensus that the language should be named Serbo-Croatian.
English people aren't Germans, declaratively, yet their language evolved from a proto-German dialect. Not to mention the plethora of words borrowed from Latin and later French. Is French then the same as English? Is English then same as German? Contrary to these examples, Serbs can understand Croats without any exposure or practice with the "Croatian language". Can you figure out the nonsense in your line of thinking?
If this person said "I speak Slavic" that would be nonsensical as well. There is no singular Slavic language, even though there are so many Slavic people, but obviously the roots to all Slavic languages can be traced back to old Slavic dialects, that are for some reason CALLED Slavonic.
Why? Well, Old Church Slavonic wasn't a true spoken language but a literary one, used as a standard to marry the meaning, laws, and literature between all Slavic peoples at the time. At the time, scholars were expected to learn several literary languages: Church Slavonic, Latin, and especially Greek were a must, but in the medieval period Persian and Arabic were also prized. Literary language is not the same thing as a spoken one.
"Old Church Slavonic was *adopted* as the language of the liturgy in churches serving various Slavic nations."
"Old Church Slavonic or Old Slavonic was the first Slavic *literary* language."
"The beginning of written Serbo-Croatian can be traced from the *10th century* and on when *Serbo-Croatian medieval texts* were written in five scripts: Latin, Glagolitic, Early Cyrillic, Bosnian Cyrillic and Arebica, the last principally by Bosniak nobility. *Serbo-Croatian* competed with the more established literary languages of *Latin and Old Slavonic* in the west and Persian and Arabic in the east."
There is no Australian! There is no Canadian! There is no Falklandislandian! There is no American! There is no Croatian! There is a principle of common reason behind this, because it is well-established what constitutes a standalone language in this world.
I'm sorry but you must be a shitty troll if you completely disregard the 1000+ year old legacy of a language that no European thinker or politician had the balls to deny.
@@milanstevic8424 English has influences from both the Danish Vikings, the French and the Romans, but is basically part of the Germanic language tribe that has much, much older ancestry.
@@dennislindqvist8443 How's that disproving what I said?
Amazing interview! The host and Ismo were genuinely having a good time.
As an Estonian, I will point out that the one other language which is quite similar to Finnish is Estonian.
Was thinking same. Also hungarian. And i assume sentence structure should be sinilar to turkish too
@@SamirustemFinno Ugric. A man from university learned Hungarian in the 60s and still speaks it fluently. Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian are probably most unfamiliar to an English speaker.
He's great, I just discovered him recently and his take on the English language is brilliant. Thank you Finland for sharing him with us!
@@JHsara yes, in the sense "brilliantly funny" I can't imagine anyone would read my comment as Ismo is a proper English language professor🤣🤣🤣
Benny Lloyd-Willner No shit didn’t know that.
He's the only comedian they got. Be gentle with him.
Top notch comedian. Now I don't mind if someone says offensive stuff or goes real dark, I actually enjoy it, but I have to hand it to Ismo because his observational comedy doesn't come at anyone's expense and it's probably the hardest way to go.
The interviewer and comedian are both so funny and I love it
Would be even funnier if she let him speak for more than 7 seconds
What a genuine and humble guy, absolute legend.
it's so ironic when Americans find measuring distance in reindeer pees funny, but also measure things in feet
Well, peoples feet are a more consistent(hopefully) distance to measure by.
Dirty one
Dale Icious it actually isnt, the poronkusema actually is quite a scientifical measure
I would guess it was originated by hunters who tracked deer.
@@williamwhitman4889 Actually it has its origins in reindeer sledding. See, reindeer can't pee and run at the same time, they have to stop to pee. They also have a nasty habit of accumulating various proteins in their urine. Over time those proteins can build up and cause a super painful blockage that can and will basically paralyze the reindeer. So poronkusema is the maximum distance you can force your reindeer to run between piss breaks, unless you actually like being stranded in the middle of nowhere in freezing temperatures, massaging the animal's bladder to try to break the blockage or, worst case scenario, trying to suck it out.
I am slightly impressed by her pronounciation.
I'm not.
K
Her?????
I am too. She pronounced amazingly well considering English and Finnish have different sounds for letters and different rules for pronounciation. Well, Finnish has one rule and English has so many rules you need to remember how to pronounce every word.

That's a finn right there! ^^

@@iliilil5761 We just laught them off with Ismo :)
It does sound " a little fancy" when she says that he was a commander which would be like a general when he's just a corporal.
@@petterimikael9 Do you just assume that people who don't use their real names or pictures aren't old enough and need a lecture or why are you telling me all this basic training stuff? Squad is also not a joukkue but ryhmä instead, a platoon would be joukkue.
Mistake on my part was that I thought she said former commander. I've never heard anyone use the word formal commander which techincally is correct but does still give "a bit" fancy vibe.
Thats Ismo. Lepposa ukko. Thumbs up.
this guy is a legend ..he should be a UN ambassador or something to spread cheer around the world!
That 'start from a scratch' joke killed me! Very likeable hostess, all hosts should be like her.

Ismo: "It's not very specific."
Host: "In case y'all wondering, it's 4.7 miles."
I mean, of course there had to be a study how long that actually is but the saying is used as an approximation. The distance is not common knowledge.
@@johannak8879 Yes, and I think it is only be used when you try to sound funny and/or when you are upset about something, like "I had to walk at least three reindeer peeings to get back to home" etc.
In fact: a reindeer piss a lenght between two reindeer pisses, if it doesnt stop. Its about 10km 😄
In my language, Afrikaans, we also put the words together, with no spaces.
Bullshit! What the fuck is this, then? af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suid-Afrika Looks pretty much like Dutch, to me.
I would love to hang out with Ismo and have a few beers, joking and laughing. Seems like a great guy and he's funny as hell.
Yes she actually could learn finnish. Sound pretty good already
Haha, especially with the fast Texas style :D "Me tulemme takaisin" was very much intelligible when she said it really fast. She'd be well understood in Karelia... x)

I'm very impressed with the hosts pronunciation! Even for Scandinavians it's not easy, I am totally aware that for English native speakers you need to have an incredible grasp of pronunciations to even get close!
Just a little tip, but Fins do not identify as Scandinavian, just northern
@@saladshla Fennoscandia...
Being Scandinavian, here has no advantage from the language family point of view.
English is a closer relative to Scandinavian languages. Suomi is the odd friend there.

Absolutely love the host very professional and natural ❤️☺️
5:00 Scratch was a line drawn in the ground that acted as a boundary. To be up to scratch refers to being up to a certain standard allowing you to compete (with it's origins being the boundary drawn for boxing), with starting from scratch referring to the starting line you start from (that doesn't enable you any starting advantages).
Get out of here!
That was genuinely interesting, thank you
The word for mother in Marathi language in India is 'aai'. crazy similarity.

I am delighted by the host. Not sure if she's doing an extremely good job or if others dropped the bar too low... whatever it is, you are an awesome host!
I can't believe he doesn't know the reason Santa Claus is called Joulupukki. The yule goat is the _original_ holiday mascot whereas Santa Claus was brought to the Nordic countries by Coca-Cola and merged with the "tomte" from Scandinavian folklore. In Sweden, the yule goat still exists, albeit merely as an ornament, while the "tomte" hands out the presents.
The yule goat still exists here in Finland as ornament too. But the origin for joulupukki is but different to yule goat. In here, "nuutti pukki" used to bring gifts, a meanspirited and somewhat cruel spirit/unnatural being who was mostly like a man but with a some parts of a goat, with it allways having a head or skull of a goat as face, with some variations to the body, for example centaurlike mix of man and goat, or a goat legged man, or just the head of a goat on a man. He would visit on st knuts day, a nordic holiday after christmas (his name even means knut goat) and he would stay in your house untill he is entertained enough to leave, most often this meant you would give the man in costume enough alcohol so he is drunk and leaves. But if the knut goat wasnt entertained enough he would make pranks to the household before leaving. The children were told he would take away mean and kill bad behaving children, and bring them to Joulupukki, who lives on korvatunturi, a mountain in lapland that was claimed to be made out of skulls of mean and badly behaving children taken there. You know, the fun kind of christmas tradition!
Anders om jag slänger ut en fråga till dig om vad som helst så kan du svara på det till hundra pcent. Alttid kul när en riktig felfinnare hittar något som är livsviktigt för dem. Lev väl.
Idag första Maj så protesterade vi emot förtrycket och det det innebär. Frihet och rätt att ha en åsikt. Vad tycker du om det!
The origin of the yule goat and the "nuuti pukki" is probably the same, as well as the origin of the numerus different Krampus down in Germany, Austria etc. It's a goatlike man that might kidnapp and eat you if you haven't behaved during the year. But because it's so old, we'll never know for sure.
Santa Claus is actually an amalgamation of the Dutch Sinterklaas as well as Odin from Norse Mythology. Also there is inspiration from Sámi mushroom shamans of Lapland.
Hello there! Yes, and in Swedish-speaking Finland, we can use julbocken, jultomten or julgubben, all three. Here, jultomten is more rare than the other two. We usually use tomte only for the small Santa's helpers. There are also hustomte, gårdstomte etc. that in the beginning had no connection to Christmas but represented spirits that guarded the house and home, as in the well-known poem "Midvinternattens köld är hård, stjärnorna gnistra och glimma..."
This was so Peaceful. It is really refreshing, and great to hear People have such a happy conversation. :)
Seen him a few times, he is absolutely GREAT! Want to see more.
Even though I am natives Finnish speaker, you just don't think about your own language that much. So i would not be exaggerating when i say that this made me laugh in tears. 🤣🤣
Oh i almost forgot to add
SUOMI MAINITTU! TORILLA TAVATAAN!!
He makes me think about American English in the same way and I'm still laughing to myself days later.

Thank you!!
He speaks simple and yet most sensible
I have a couple of Finnish friends, they're quite unique, but in a great way, very funny and self deprecating. I like this host too, she's very likable and a good interviewer who knows how to keep things moving while also being engaged - I hope she gets snapped up by a national channel
SUOMI! I'm from Finland i 'm proud
Awesome host, as people have already mentioned. A+. I'll say: WTF - Welcome To Finland.
What kills me with Ismo is how animated his face is. His lips, his cheeks, his eyes, EVERYTHING is moving, and in such funny ways too.
Finland?
Me then: Linus Torvalds.
Me now: Ismo.
this has inspired me to go visit finland someday, sounds like a lovely place full of lovely people
Finland is good place to visit and live. But not all are nice and beautiful 😁, but Finland is worth a try 👍
Whenever someone is clapping, i'll be forever stuck with that image in my mind of a group of people swatting mosquitoes...
Kalsarikannit is my favorite word now!
Actually, the word "äiti" is a loanword from the old Germanic language(s). The Baltic-Finnic word for mother is something similar to Estonian word for mother which is "emo" or "emä", but in Finnish, that word is today used only for the animal mother.
hyvä huomio!
Die mutter?
but it may as well be Finnish since it's not even used in Germanic languages anymore.
What is the word it's loaned from then? I can't really think of any Germanic terms that are similar - but then again, I don't know many so - I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious :)
@@sarcasm-83 it is a Germanic loanword but it's not used in any Germanic languages anymore so that's why you can't think of any examples.
I love Finland 🇫🇮! From Greece 🇬🇷
good lord. I KNEW Ismo had to be a genius to be so funny. PHYSICS!??!?!?!? good lord. this man needs a Netflix special AND MORE. omg, he would be great at hosting a show. COME ON WORLD.
I agree. The most intelligent people have a very good sense of humor. 😊
He is the most genuine person
Actually the word goat=pukki used in joulupukki comes from old nordic paganism, It represents the goats of thor, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. Although we Finns didnt call him thor, we call him Ukko but its pretty much the same thing. Before the commercialized red cocacola santaclaus came here we had nuuttipukki. Nuuttipukki is a person (Usually a children) wearing a goat fur/skin and some sort of goat mask, going from house to house to sing a song in return for some treats. Originally tho nuuttipukki was not so pleasant visitor, they were usually drunk men who wore those same outfits and went from house to house to ask for leftover food and drinks after christmas, if you didnt give them anything they could break up something from your house.
and before Nuuttikpukki there was Kekripukki who came around Kekri (old Finnish harvest festival/day of the dead)
@@Fairychamber And then came Baltic Pagans and introduced Perkunas, their god of sky to Finns and Ukko turned into... one very famous Finnish word :D
Wow i can’t believe how mutch old history peoples know. These old christmas folklore are new to me. Where you read this stuff or you just know?
Even in conversation he's a comedian.
