ISMO | The Word ASS (new & extended version)

- I thought I knew English pretty well. Then I moved to America and I found out that, well, no.
Now I have almost figured out the most difficult word - ASS.
I talked about the word ASS on CONAN. This is a bigger, longer and newer version.

I was laughing so hard, tears were coming out of my ass.
There's a good ass ointment for that.
Browneye?
Hahhahahhahahhahhaha😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's a good ass comment, you piece of ass.
that was a nice ass joke
You actually did some linguistic research for this long-ass joke. You're simply great!
I laughed my ass off
That's his specialty ♥
I think you meant to say "for this long ass-joke". The hyphen matters :P
I'm clapping with my ass on him.. hilarious :D
Ha ha he missed that one 🤣🤣
@@ToadalChaos Or "for these long-ass ass-jokes"... ^^
Growing up speaking English we never realize just how weird things like this are until someone with English as a second language with the comedic talent to tell us finally does.
Comedy is so important
Real talk
@@Fredfredfredfredfredfredfred Comedy is like fire: without it the forest dies, but with it the village dies. A good servant, but a bad master.
same goes for most languages, we even have some strange ass non ass related ass language in my language, and still if i would directly translate your ass slang and start doing it in my language i would probably get arrested, and the same goes the other way around.
They're jokes that only work because he's ESL and naive on what phrases mean.
They don't in actuality mean the things he's saying:
Lazy ass means a person who is so chronically lazy that it's harmful. "My lazy ass husband" means a husband who is always lazy not just from time to time, and to the point it both creates a rift between the husband and wife AND causes them to miss out on things.
Long ass, as in "this long ass flight" means an uncomfortable and tediously long flight.
A grown ass man, means an adult man, whom is acting like an ass.
In these contexts adding ass generally means the thing is terrible.
Bad ass does not reverse the meaning, it doesn't mean good. Bad ass means an asshole so bad they're intimidating, frightening or they make a lot of trouble.
A smart ass has their brains in their ass. A dumb ass has their brains in their ass and they aren't very bright.
Move your ass refers to the fact your ass is what moves your legs and thus moves you forward. So move your ass could also be said move your legs which is also a thing people say.
My ass does not mean no. It means bullsih!, or human poo as it were. But the latter would be weird to say, so we instead refer to where it comes from.
Etc, etc, you get the gist. That he's getting them wrong in such a naive and quirky way is part of the joke.
@@tjmarx How can you have so little self-awareness and yet be capable of such leaps in logic?
It's impressive enough just to see a Finnish person be able to talk in front of a group
😂
Maybe it's like I tell my outgoing friend from Finland -- they kicked her out for talking too much 😁
Why do Finnish people generally have an aversion to groups?
Best comment. So says an Estonian. (Close cousin of Finns)
😂
These jokes are so good even ismo can't keep a straight face
*Straight Ass
I think he's adding stuff spontaneously in the latter part, so he loses it at times :)
@@timomastosalo that’s the best part of stand up for me: improvising and it lands good, as well as when it lands so good the comic themselves laugh.
@@timomastosalo Yeah, he's pulling material out of his ass!
Deadass
I had never thought about the word "ass" like you just exposed. It totally blew my ass.
LOL
Blow ass means to fart soooo
😅😅😅😂😂😂
too funny!
I laughed so hard at this one. Great !!
This could be a doctoral thesis on linguistics
There is something about Ismo's delivery that is hilarious, but I can't quite put my ass on it.
You are so intelligent. Don’t understand how you can be so creative in your non-native language. You are brilliant Ismo.
Yeah true, I didn't know non-native English speakers could be creative too. lol
It’s because he is a left assed person
I believe it's because how creative Finnish language can be on its own. Now, I don't know about any other languages, but as a native Finn, I know the joys of how creative Finnish can get. So it might be easier for Ismo to play with other languages as well. Of course he's a talented comedian to boot. And we speak a LOT more English than Swedish (which is supposed to be our 2nd language) so it comes pretty naturally to us I'd guess.
@@CarcPazu you're being sarcastic right? 😁
@@r0conscious yes
He is always pulling something new from his ass just like a true magician
These puns are a pain in my ass
@@qwertyqwerty-ek7dy Oh pain, my ass
ugh.. man cringe. I may need a vibe check\
Thanks, now i'm thinking about bunnies coming out of my....
Thanks for getting my head out of my ASS. It truly was a tough time for me.
Not only the material is funny; Ismo has perfect timing, which is rare and the reason why not every comedian is as funny as this badass guy.
The delivery is phenomenal.
Totally unique way of looking at it, he really opened my ass up!
Unique way of looking at ass.
...he really opened my ass!
OR ...he really opened up my ass!
😂 😂
he blew my ass with all the different ways you could look at it
My ass has been opened and now I too can see the whole ass picture!!
Ismo! You put a smile on my ass!
Hymy pyllyyn ja sitä rataa!
HAHAHAHA
He did that to me too, with a tattoo gun. So now I have a Smiling ass Ass from a funny ass ass who owns a sword. Because he's a Finnish ass, and as they graduate they get a badass sword.
I died when he said "I'm a little nervous I have butterflies in my ass"
@@dakvesser9588 There actually is a German saying that translates to "bumblebees in one's ass", which means being tetchy or impatient...
Takes some talent to be a comedic genius in your non-native language and boy, does English have a lot of things that can be joked about. I'm surprised more people haven't done this. But Ismo is definitely the best at it. Funny-ass guy.
Oh, Ismo, you make me laugh so much, they'll never wipe this smile off my ass.
I love you from the bottom of my...
Rectum?
Bottom of my bottom
K-V heart
black hole?
I mean when you think about it it actually makes sense 🤔 🤣
"Don't bite the *ass that feeds you."
😂 Omg, I can't breathe!
woW, this comedian is so creative. Add that to his stutter type, shy, nerdy, foreign (Finnish) accent intermittent delivery method, really makes it funny. I want to do stand-up comedy myself, it's on my bucket list.
The audience ADORED this guy
Side note:
I would love to see him give a linguistics seminar tbh haha
His jokes are so simple, yet genius. Nobody would be able to deliver these like Ismo. He’s fucking hilarious.
Ye every other comedian feels half-assed now. Ismo feels more like a complete bad ass
George Carlin would match this perfectly.
George Carlin did it brilliantly many years ago. George Carlin's Usage of the Word 'FUCK' .
th-cam.com/video/xZkb4TPI-Lo/w-d-xo.html
hilariass !
His accent and the delivery makes it so much funnier. If the same jokes are delivered by someone else, I wouldn’t be laughing this hard! 😂 🤣
He's like the Finnish Stephen Wright.
The "ohs" and "uhs" in between each line is what keeps getting me
@@AlexTommo ikr i love his little groans, it's like he's trying not to laugh at his own jokes lmao
Yes!!!
we don't care
I do believe, there is no one else in this world that could explain the ass, quite as well as you have! And the flow with the “almost confused” pauses, tops the cake! Love it!
I think this guy is the most under-rated comic of our times.
This extended version is asstounding!
😂😂
@Zachary Savdié 😂😂
You mean the long ass version? :)
These old jokes will always be funny, but the new ones start at 5:30!
Only Ismo can go on stage to "teach" english to an english speaking audience, and get a ton of laughs out of it ;D I´m really looking forward to some new-ass content from my favourite Suomi comedian.
This guy is deadass one of the funniest comedians around
The mark of a master comedian. Not only are Ismo's words hilarious, but his perfect timing and delivery makes it ass-splitting funny!
I lived in Britain for nearly a decade. Brits have a saying, " I can't be arsed," which means I cannot be bothered. Thanks for terrific laughs Ismo. xxx
Thanks for the education. I'm gonna remember that. I know that there are a lot of wankers and tossers out there but now I've been schooled on arsed 🤣
Can't arsed also mean drunk? Like "oh he was arsed out of his mind" ?
I've never heard it used in that way.
@@Eralen00 no, it literally means cannot be bothered.
@@Eralen00 In Britain almost any word can mean drunk. Slaughtered, trashed, blasted, wankered, bladdered... Can't say I've heard 'arsed', but I've heard rat-arsed and arseholed.
I can't count how many times I've watched this good ass clip. Ismo's delivery is so damn good that it makes his material so much funnier. Kudos 👌...
That and Sleeping around is hilarious too😊
Ismo, my husband just got back from his uncle's funeral. Apparently, the entire family was watching your stand-up the day after the funeral. You had everyone in stitches! You remind me of Stephen Wright. If you don't already know his work, you should check it out. He did a lot of observational humor, too. Rock on with ya bad self!
Good-ass meatballs is fine, but good assmeat balls might get confused looks.
That is a good one, I'll give you that! :D
Assmeat good balls
I listened to this so many times I have learnt it all by ass.
I saw this for the first time and laughed til I cried......His accent and the slightly halting pace of his words makes it really, really funny!! 😅😂😅
The words are slightly halting ...
because thats what Finns do.
I reckon Ismo is fast for a Finn. 😂
Amazingly funny.
It warms my ass to see Ismo succeed.
Now I think I know why Finnish a superb race car driver. The calmness of Finnish people makes a better judgement in racing situations.
Second video of this guy's comedy, just found him 10 minutes ago. Now I'm goin to have to binge watch all the videos of him I can find. Haven't laughed so hard in ages.
Alas there aren't too many, not in English :(
I'm guessing lots of people laughed their asses off?
@@godfreyofbouillon966 Alass there aren't
I can never get tired of his jokes. I was driving and listening to this. Kept getting off-road bcuz I was laughing so hard.
You have the gestures of Howie Mandel and the timing of Bob Newhart. Brilliant.
This bit is a masster-class in comedy. The content is fairly timeless, and you technically limit yourself to one swear word (and it's not even on Carlin's list); a good sign that it still works is that every utterance of "ass" is even funnier. The character works incredibly fluidly - the curious and befuddled English learner stammers along, seemingly in confusion - but it is, of course, fully deliberate - this lends itself to a great bait-and-switch at 6:16 ("I had to pull something out of my... hat!"). Words are sometimes pronounced unclearly, but never when they're new and important - so it serves the character without hurting the clarity of the bit. Delightful to watch and rewatch!
Holy crap man, I almost enjoyed your spot on analysis as much as I did ISMO.
Ismo: Uhhh… Ummm
Crowd:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, I am clapping my asses for such a performance!
Outstanding dry whit and sarcasm. Great research on the English language and words. You are hilarious as well as intelligent.
-(new & extended version)- ... (new longer-assed version)
Or maybe "(new long ass version)"
tush-é
Imagine prepping for these without being able to improvise
You have to learn the jokes by ass
I remember the original, and it still has me rolling on the floor. This is one "Funny ASS" comedian! 😂😂😂
I hope he's around for a very loooong time!! Y'all stay safe out there.
Go ISMO:💚
Dave
Dude, I love your comedy. I say this from the bottom of my ass.
Give this man a special @netflix
Very funny! As a Finn American, this was perfect! 🇫🇮❤️
I loved the line
'The entire man has grown, it's not only the ass' 😂😂
&
'If you have a car it's included in the ass' 🤣🤣
YES,, That was Truly Killer -
If you have a car it's included in the ass' 🤣🤣
My favorite line for some reason is "if you are half-assed that means you're not concentrating properly" lmao. Something about the delivery of that line kills me.
Lolllll
I keep coming back to the video because it's so fun, but also because the crowd is so damn amazing! The woman laughing at 4:30 is my spirit animal :D
All language learners need to listen to this! It’s spot on!
i love that he can't say "i have butterflies in my ass" with a straight face. love this dude with all my ass
His Presence has its own power, gentleness, almost shy like, quite refreshing entertainment.
His phrasing and timing is impeccable. My favorite new name in comedy
Holy shit that was one good update to the original which already was a classic.
He's predicted the future of the English language in the most bad ass manner. Oh yeah... I've got butterflies in my ass
That's a badass take on this clip 😹😹
I never realized how difficult learning American slang must be for new English speakers lol
The differences between upper-intermediate, advanced and native levels are massive. Unless you grow up in the country until you're well into your teens you'll never reach true native level. Fins have very good English generally. Ismo is advanced and enjoying exploring the nitty-gritty of native level English, but he'll never reach true native level. Adults who go to spend 10 years or even 40 in another country and say they've reached native level are talking out of their... ass.
Even native speakers struggle with the slang at times.
I've never seen anybody breaking down a joke into a million pieces like Ismo!
You, sir made me laugh out loud in front of my tablet, being home alone. That doesn’t happen very often.
Ismo was one of the opening comedians for “Fluffy” at the Puyallup fair yesterday evening so funny. We had a good ass time!
Thanks for posting this Ismo, I must have watched all your videos (in English) at least 4-5 times already. I had to put my dog down today (after 12 years), so this video really cheered me up. I was supposed to see your show in Hermosa Beach in March but got cancelled. Why you don't have a Netflix special is mind boggling. I'll even pay to watch you do a Zoom video session. You're definitely killing it.
I'm sorry to hear about your baby. I don't have words to help that.
I had to put mine down on October 3rd and he was 12 1/2 l try to stay busy so l don’t cry so much and when l see Ismo doing a skit or show it’s taking my mind to a really cool place where l can forget my sadness and be glad his comedy can make me laugh again… he is such a funny ass comedian….
I am from Belarus... And I love this guy!!!)))
It's so funny that you're talking about ass, and you're at the Ice House, Because, my Uncle from Alabama, when he would say ass, it sounded like he said ice....😂😂😂😂😂
I shared this with a friend of mine. He is one of my very closest friends. And he loved it so much that every time we talk we both try to somehow use the word "ass" in every sentence. It has become a competition between us to see how creatively we can use the word "ass" in a sentence.
Just off the top of your ass?
The man is positively brilliant. After this comedy routine, he was busting ass.
I’ve watched this 4, 5 times and he’s still funny.
I literally love his literal humour.... LITERALLY!
C'mon Ismo we need more of your flawless comedy! More videos, please Ismo :)
You are one of the funniest comedians I've ever heard :)
He can't just pull new jokes out of his.... ass!
This is Deadass the best comedy routine I've ever seen.
Ismo, your a legend !!! Your comedy is gold, very clever and very, very funny. Hopefully you coming back to NZ soon ???
Such brilliant delivery. Deadpan and quizzical 😂😂
I had the delightful experience of getting to see ISMO at the Arlington draft house. I laughed until I had tears in my eyes! Soo good!!
Better than tears in your ass!
His dissection of this is brilliant
He has to be the funniest man that ever existed. I was laughing so hard l could barely breathe.
"It... WAS IN THE NECK!" 😆 yeah, he's not wrong.
one of the greatest linguistic analysts out there :)
♥️♥️♥️♥️My son and I just watched this! I have not laughed this hard in so long. Thank you so much. This was really funny. Welcome to America. We love you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
You are the absolute best!! Crying with laughter!
This guy makes me want to learn Finnish, just to hear those puns. Brilliant!
Material is simple yet extremely creative! 🤩🤣 And the delivery is like ten out of ten as well. Total 20/20. 🤙🔥
Haha, I have heard these jokes many times but still laughing my ASS off, every single time, this included. Rooting for Ismo, thanks again! Yours, fellow jyväskyläläinen.
This guy is my new favorite comedian. OMG, he's a Amazing.
My only question is why it's taken the dang YT algorithm so long to recommend this guy........
It's genius as the most I've seen because of the intelligent way of seeing the world and the different in languages. 👍
This guy is too freakin funny. Love his comedy! Check out his English learning on the word Shit!
His delivery is everything! Brilliant!!
I just discovered you and I love your humour. Thank you for being so clever and funny.
Wow Ismo.. you are brilliant 😂 Remember watching some of your sketches a few years ago... about learning English, and the word "ass"
I think you might know that us in the UK say "arse" ! ? 😄🤣
If you love speaking English, you can add any of these differences into your set..
We say "lazy arse" , "smart arse" , or just simply "areshole" (a favourite of my dad's lol)
"Sit you arse down" (obviously literally haha)... "he is an arse" , "I couldn't give an arse", or better still, "I couldn't give a flying arse" 🤣 ((just imagine a flying arse lmao )
"big arse car" , "big arse house"
😄😂😂😂
Love you, Ismo 👌👏🙌🌈✨ xx
"From the man who brought you, 'Sh*t!'"
One of the best monologues from ISMO!
Ismo, you have brought so much joy and laughs to my work days, thank you so much! Fantastic stuff man.
I just discovered your content from a reddit post (it was your routine on the word "shit"), and I'm hooked. I think you are awesome.
Love it my late husband’s favorite word again I shared with my daughter she loves you too thank you we are watching and saving some for another day ❤️
I laughed my ass off !!😂😂
Thank you, Ismo, for this routine. Glorious.
This is deadass one of the funniest sets out there.
I watched all his videos. He's my favorite comedian ever. Please post some more
I'm tempted to ask did you understand the ones in Finnish? :)
The new jokes are my favorite of Ismo's so far. Laughed my ass off
That man is the best comedian in the whole world right now.
😅😅😅😅😅 one of the most brilliant comedians to ever to do it. Well done
