the movie Van Wilder with Ryan Reynolds was actually based on Bert Kreischer and there was a few of the Russians he mentioned that gave credit to his story.
Some people say that Van Wilder is the movie loosely based on his life, and some people say that it isn't. I don't know for sure. But, I tend to think that it wasn't, because the funnest part of the story was left out of the movie. Ryan Reynolds never went to Russia in the movie
His classmates have said the only part he really exaggerated about was not knowing how to speak any Russian. Burt said it was more scary partying with the cops than with the mob.
I feel like after 4 semesters of Russian in the situation of being forced to talk to gangsters from the 90s even straight A student could say that they do not know any Russian
If you want the best version of this story possible, look up the one where he has a sign language interpreter on stage with him. Also, he’s said he goes shirtless because he got tired of sweating through shirts.
I might be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure part of his old bit was to rip off his shirt, chug a beer and just have fun with his show. After awhile he just stopped wearing one to remind himself that it’s all supposed to be fun and he needs to enjoy himself
Just saw it, it's fucking hilarious, a great combination of (mostly) true tales from the past, with a framing device set in a fictional present where he and his dad get kidnapped to Russia to find a watch he stole on that train.
Bert explains "it's a way to remind myself I'm supposed to be having a good time and the audience should be as well". "Comedians get jaded or angry when they stop having fun with their comedy". To avoid that Kreischer started implementing this reminder to have fun when performing.
The best part is this story is true. You can google his name + Russia and pictures from the trip along with testimonials from his fellow students back all this up.
I heard Bert say that he takes his shirt off in front of the audience to ease nerves. It takes them aback and makes him more comfortable in front of the crowd.
There’s pics of him wearing the fanny pack with the Russian gangsters 😂. It’s probably a little over exaggerated but his former classmates confirmed the story 😂.
Ahh love this standup. Thought it was a fake story when I first watched it because it sounds like all the Russian stereotypes that I’ve heard. Very funny 😂
@@mr.niceguy777 nah, it's been verified. A few of the Russians also defended him, and one of the Igor's he brought onto stage, and is friends with still. Look it up.
This dude's partying is legendary! I was a student at the University of Michigan during the time he attended Florida State! None of us actually knew him, but we all knew of him! We all wanted to party with him! College goals were a bit different! Lol
I would love to hang out with G, drink some wine or whatever and listen to her stories. She always has a real life story to connect with the videos. Love her
Absolutely true. And it is going to be a movie, sort of. It's like a sequel where the Russian mob tracks him down in America because the story got famous and he gets dragged back to Russia and all kinds of shenanigans. I'm actually really excited for this movie.
Last time I visited my friends in colorado, we were walking around the Red Rocks Amphitheater and we walked right past Bert! He was there doing promos for his upcoming tour. Took tons of pictures with fans!
For the record, he doesn’t wear the shirt because being sweaty and uncomfortable on stage makes him more self conscious than not wearing the shirt. If he’s doing an interview or whatever and it’s not under hot theatre lights he does wear a shirt!
Bert Kreischer could play the biggest venue in the US and take his shirt off and a crowd of 30,000 could cheer for him 😂 Also this story has been made into a film and it comes out this year!
I attended Florida State AND took Russian but it was about 14 years before Bert. My Russian class was immersive and I was lost from day 1. The teacher's wife was also a Russian teacher (she was actually Ukrainian) I lost a lot of confidence in how well he actually spoke Russian when I would see him outside class talking with his wife....in English.
@@BloodKills I felt that given their somewhat unique shared language (unique at FSU) they would have opted for Russian if the fluency was there. However by his accent in English I think that either he was British by birth or learned Oxford English rather than American English (not uncommon). Her accent was thick Eastern European but as I would learn later she was Ukrainian and not Russian although she was the another FSU Russian instructor. Maybe she viewed the Russian language as a symbol of Soviet oppression since it was 1979 and opted to never use it when not teaching it. It is all together possible that English was just the language in which they felt better able to converse given different backgrounds. Then again, maybe my immersive Russian teacher wasn't actually fluent in Russian. I suspect she probably was at least.
The real machine movie is out now.. the reason the story blew up was because one of his classmates commented on it and tagged a lot of his former classmates who were on that trip to Russia
The Asian guy that little bro was referring to was probably wondering where he can get a Kangol hat from hahahahaha. To think that he thought he was being "sought after" in his story......hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Def is true and a movie is already made about it that is coming out soon. Looks pretty good. Former classmates have also came out and verified it. I thought it was exaggerated too until some say it was actually worse lol
The head of the whole trip asked him before they when back with the train, to party with the gangsters. It was the calmest trip so far, and they wanted it to stay that way. Paying off the mobsters didnt garanti that you would not be robbed or worse
There's a movie about this coming out soon Bert Kreischer and like the next chapter of his Russian mafia story I can't wait to see it. I figured I'd let you know just in case you didn't know
I forgot why Brett said he didn't wear shirts on stage at that time. I think it was during his early years that he did it to remind himself that it was supposed to be a fun experience or something.
Wow @office Bloke Daz.. Just about to watch this reaction but before I do I find it funny that Mum says she doesn't like to see Men in public shirtless/topless.That's daft!. Anyway love this story and have a great day guys 👍
The story is 100% true and his classmates that were on the trip have come out and confirmed that it actually happened they way he said it was. And there is a movie coming out this year about it called The Machine
Yeah the story is true but the details embellished a bit. I thought it was funny with Sophie finding him gross for being shirtless with his beer belly out lmao that's just his old gimmick
I have had a full on conversation with some dude at the gym and he was naked the whole time. I stared to the side as I talked to him. I am gay but still felt a little uncomfortable since I didn't know him lol
The story sounds insane but the chaos that russia was after the collapse until late 90's it isn't that impossible honestly. There's a great documentary called Red Penguins about that period of time. It's about an NHL team trying to form a partnership with a moscow based team during the post collapse time and the stories in it are just as insane. Like the russian teams stadium being owned by a person who wasn't getting the rent money from the team so to make his ends meet he set up a nightclub/strip club in the basement of basicly the most prestigios hockey teams of russia and he had a bear as a servant there.
the movie Van Wilder with Ryan Reynolds was actually based on Bert Kreischer and there was a few of the Russians he mentioned that gave credit to his story.
Hell his classmates verified it on a Facebook post.
It's true. He bought Igor, the Russian mafioso, on stage with him once. They're friends to this day.
The movie with my cock was based on my dick and there was a few of the dumbasses that gave credit to my story.
Some people say that Van Wilder is the movie loosely based on his life, and some people say that it isn't. I don't know for sure. But, I tend to think that it wasn't, because the funnest part of the story was left out of the movie. Ryan Reynolds never went to Russia in the movie
@@johnstewart2473 ahhh but ai’m pretty sure bert said it was loosely based on him in an interview and a couple times on his podcast.
His classmates have said the only part he really exaggerated about was not knowing how to speak any Russian. Burt said it was more scary partying with the cops than with the mob.
I feel like after 4 semesters of Russian in the situation of being forced to talk to gangsters from the 90s even straight A student could say that they do not know any Russian
If you want the best version of this story possible, look up the one where he has a sign language interpreter on stage with him. Also, he’s said he goes shirtless because he got tired of sweating through shirts.
He also could have just switched to only wearing black shirts 😂 But hey, the shirtless look has now become his trademark
I might be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure part of his old bit was to rip off his shirt, chug a beer and just have fun with his show. After awhile he just stopped wearing one to remind himself that it’s all supposed to be fun and he needs to enjoy himself
It's also to remind himself to have fun on stage.
There is a movie coming out in May based on this story. It’s called “The Machine”.
Just saw it, it's fucking hilarious, a great combination of (mostly) true tales from the past, with a framing device set in a fictional present where he and his dad get kidnapped to Russia to find a watch he stole on that train.

LMAO!! Her Holland changing room story...🤣🤣🤣🤣 God I just love Daz's wife...I about spit out my drink when she said it that way...🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of his classmates that went to Russia on that same trip verified this is a true story and tagged everyone in the class with this video
The best part is this story is true. You can google his name + Russia and pictures from the trip along with testimonials from his fellow students back all this up.
Y'all learned a lot about each other over a trip to Holland conversation lmao.
They actually did a movie called the machine. It was released in May 2023. Bert plays himself and Mark Hamill is in it as well.
I heard Bert say that he takes his shirt off in front of the audience to ease nerves. It takes them aback and makes him more comfortable in front of the crowd.
There’s pics of him wearing the fanny pack with the Russian gangsters 😂. It’s probably a little over exaggerated but his former classmates confirmed the story 😂.
He actually gotten the story made into a movie. It comes out this year 😂
@Sophie, they DID make a movie out of it!!
There are pictures online of the trip. The story has also been turned into a full length feature film. Really. The trailer is here on youtube.
They’re actual classmates that heard this story when it blew up and they’ve confirmed everything is true which funny and crazy 😂
Love this video
I can not wait, there is a movie coming out based on this story.
Ahh love this standup. Thought it was a fake story when I first watched it because it sounds like all the Russian stereotypes that I’ve heard. Very funny 😂
Some of his classmates at the time, and the former teacher of the class, have all verified that it is a true story at some of his shows.
@@KNETTWERX That's just what he told people. Not 100% true.
@@mr.niceguy777 nah, it's been verified. A few of the Russians also defended him, and one of the Igor's he brought onto stage, and is friends with still. Look it up.
They made a movie. Its called " the machine ". It will be released in may

Gaynor living the meme of no one being able to pronounce Kreischer
idk why everybody has such a hard time with his name. Burnt Chrysler isn't that hard to pronounce.
Bret Chrysler
The way you said it G, in that English accent, just made me lose it! I couldn’t stop laughing.
Last time I visited my friends in colorado, we were walking around the Red Rocks Amphitheater and we walked right past Bert! He was there doing promos for his upcoming tour. Took tons of pictures with fans!
For the record, he doesn’t wear the shirt because being sweaty and uncomfortable on stage makes him more self conscious than not wearing the shirt. If he’s doing an interview or whatever and it’s not under hot theatre lights he does wear a shirt!
A girl who was on that trip, with him,, validated the fact that he robbed the train, on facebook and tagged a bunch of the former students.
His classmates verified it on Facebook when he posted the video. The movie is coming out in May the trailer is amazing
Bert Kreischer could play the biggest venue in the US and take his shirt off and a crowd of 30,000 could cheer for him 😂
Also this story has been made into a film and it comes out this year!
"This could be a movie". The movie is coming out in May 😅
they are making a movie about it. Called The Machine obviously
Sophie, movie is going to be released in May.
The story is 100% true,, after doing it, a female classmate of his confirmed the story to be true, she got robbed too LOL

I don't know if you explained it poorly, but it seems to me, with the way you've written it, that you don't think people can be bilingual.

@@BloodKills I understood it quite well. I get his point.
@@homegardenbook4886or maybe she wanted to use English more I private to help her feel more comfortable in public.
Bert in a National Treasure of America. Crass, but he is becoming more loved and famous every year.
They're making a movie called the machine, the trailer is out now, it's all Bert talks about on his podcast 2bears one cave .
100% true story backed up by people on Facebook that were on this trip
On Facebook???? Has to be true if it's on Facebook. "Never believe anything you read on the internet"- Abraham Lincoln.
because Facebook is 100% legit 😂😂
There is an actual The Machine movie coming out starring Bert Kreischer
He’s actually making a movie!
There is actually a movie coming out called The Machine, starring Bert, and Mark Hammill as Bert's father. I really want to see it.
From what he and others have said. Less than you would think was exaggerated.
It's all documented by the other students and the Russians he was with.
He actually left a lot of things out to shorten it.
Oh, also check out Jim Jefferies disabled friend story. One of the best stories ever!
The real machine movie is out now..
the reason the story blew up was because one of his classmates commented on it and tagged a lot of his former classmates who were on that trip to Russia
The Asian guy that little bro was referring to was probably wondering where he can get a Kangol hat from hahahahaha.
To think that he thought he was being "sought after" in his story......hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
from what i understand. a totally true story. and theres alot more than what he cut it down to for this.
“I hold grudges”- by Ali Sadiq.. so funny
Def is true and a movie is already made about it that is coming out soon. Looks pretty good. Former classmates have also came out and verified it. I thought it was exaggerated too until some say it was actually worse lol

Paying off the mobsters didnt garanti that you would not be robbed or worse
His classmates have confirmed a lot of what he says in this story.
They did make a movie lol. It comes out in a few months
The movie of that story comes out next month.
He doesn't wear a shirt, because he's a big guy and sweats a lot. If it were me I'd rather go on stage and sweat though my shirt. But, to each his own
If you haven't seen it, check out the Bill Burr helicopter story. It's so amazing! 😂
True story check out the trailers for the upcoming movie
It’s a true story,he went back to Russia for a movie,he’s respected in Russia
There's a movie about this coming out soon Bert Kreischer and like the next chapter of his Russian mafia story I can't wait to see it. I figured I'd let you know just in case you didn't know
That was my first thought too, was he basically made it up. A decent amount has been confirmed by classmates. Take that for what you will
Love ya guys
Movie comes out next month😂
Just wait for the movie.. it’s coming out in a few weeks and looks hilarious
Totally true you can Google him and see pictures of him with the bandits and his fanny pack.
I forgot why Brett said he didn't wear shirts on stage at that time. I think it was during his early years that he did it to remind himself that it was supposed to be a fun experience or something.
Wow @office Bloke Daz.. Just about to watch this reaction but before I do I find it funny that Mum says she doesn't like to see Men in public shirtless/topless.That's daft!. Anyway love this story and have a great day guys 👍

They ARE making a movie out of that story. It’s gonna be called The Machine.
Sophie your top is so pretty!
Not only is this a true story, but they are making a movie loosely based off of this story. It’s called the Machine
Apparently many of the classmates corroborated the story once it went viral.
The story is 100% true and his classmates that were on the trip have come out and confirmed that it actually happened they way he said it was.
And there is a movie coming out this year about it called The Machine

Yeah the story is true but the details embellished a bit. I thought it was funny with Sophie finding him gross for being shirtless with his beer belly out lmao that's just his old gimmick
Hysterical....Could be Daz.. If he found himself in this position..
He’s in the middle of making a movie about it
Actually the movie the machine is out in may
Completely true story
It is an absolute true story, his former classmates verified it, I think it was on fb

Young needs to smile more
There is a second story of him partying with the cops
Yes shirtless guy is usually hella annoying but Bert gets a pass.

its absolutely a true story. his classmates and the russians confirmed it and a paper about it in the rolling stone back then
