ismo is so funny, and its even more impressive that his jokes are mostly clean i think that makes it harder to be funny but he does it so well, ismo needs a full special!
Yes. So many comedians resort to a lot of dirty jokes and it’s a complete turn off for me. Dirty jokes that are disguised as something else can work great, but just going straight to the point is hardly funny..
Stop with the clean and dirty … if it’s the joke then that’s the joke. Who fuxkn cares whether it’s a dirty joke or not. Grow up what are we 6 still in Hebrew school? He’s great because his accent plays a role in his acting of “dumbfoundedness” he also knows how to milk out his one joke and get several laughs. He’s fantastic. But he had an entire skit on curse words so knock off the holier than thou garbage
ISMO, here's a compliment for you: You're incredibly witty and your comedy is fun at it's best because you have a deep understanding for life. So happy to have met your videos accidentally! AUstrian linguist and musician with love for Finland, where I spend every summer to explore another universe. All the best for your international way! Follow you.
I'm happy, he's back on TH-cam!!! I love this type of humour, I think it's very relatable for non-native English speakers because many things sound funny and weird to us! And the different cultures, as well!!! In my country it's not as usual to say compliments, either! We'd rather think: what do you want from me?! 😂
@@indrajukame yes I have some Latvian friends and a little bit knowledge of the names and culture :) But hey, if you don't get compliments, at least you get flowers!
In my opinion he is one of the most intelligent and unique stand up comedian and his performance turn his jokes to another level. I love you ismo please be more active in your youtube channel.
When is Netflix gonna get wind of this incredibly funny ass man and give him at the least a half hour special. Ismo is seriously funny, his play on our American way of speaking in my opinion is pure genius. Reminds me a bit of Mr George Carlin from when I was growing up. Ismo makes you think 🤔 on a level we might not have otherwise done due to how common certain parts of our speech is to us. Keep it coming Ismo, laughter is good for the soul 😂
So, I am Italian, but my uncle moved to Finland 35 years ago, so my cousins are Finnish. But everytime they come to Italy the make the same comments on random compliments from strangers.
Another thing is "excuse me". Finns don't use it much. For example when grocery shopping and someone is blocking your way. If there is an opening, you squeeze past them and say nothing.
This is so true. 😂 I don't like compliments because most of the time they are fake or the person is trying to get something from you. Besides, we are too humble to accept them anyway and too shy or quiet to give them. And it works just fine that way! 😁
I stayed in Finland for a little while and as an American, I can vouch that this is 100% accurate lol😂. Finnish people are so unbelievably quiet and reserved and Keep to themselves.
It may seem that way to an outsider but it's not really true. The foundation of the Finnish social contract is basically 'everyone has the right to be left alone'. That's why small talk isn't really a thing here.
Our ancestors migrated to this frozen hell because they wanted to be left alone. Then we are the offspring of 100 generations of finns living in cottages in the forest where the nearest neighbor is 10 miles away with no road. So yes, it is natural we want to be left alone.
@@artokiiskinen1058 This description seems so feasible, it MUST be true. Also, seems like a fairly relaxing country for introverts and quiet ASDers to visit.
Under optimal conditions, lights out, in my own bed, the fan running, two sleeping pills taken , under those perfect of conditions I have a difficult time sleeping. I’ve never slept through the night not even once. This performance of his was spot on and funny as hell!!
The same thing happened to me when I was in the U.S. once. Some dude on the street told me that my shoes looked very comfortable. I had to ask 3 times to make sure I didn't misunderstand.
Most comedians use profanity to make unfunny jokes funnier. Ismo uses profanity only when it’s an important part of the joke - the jokes and delivery are funny enough to stand on their own.
The reason why ISMO can't upload a full special is because he still needs all the material. He has been touring america with the same 20 jokes for a decade.
Ismo, I have lived in Finland since 1981 (with one 5 year exception) and Finns have given me compliments. Unasked for. People not related to me. Strangers on the street. A Roma lady came directly to say "every time I see you you're smiling. Keep doing it" (she said it in Finnish, and yes, olen ihan varma mitä hän sanoi). Another Finn complimented my coat as we passed in the street - she also swerved to get close enough (yes, Finnish social distance) to be sure everyone knew she meant my coat. Nyt olen hiljainen koska tä on teidän näköala. Ole hyvä, jatkuu vaan
@@herrkulor3771 does a smile makes one exotic? I have been mistaken for a Finn too, while my very Finnish friends have been mistaken as foreigners. This is life.
Best part about ISMO is that he’s heckling fowl language while suggesting polite manners of speaking english to an audience laughing about him being a stupid immigrant… 👍
Norway is the same. And I had a similar experience in the US. But I also got an insult in the shape of a compliment: "nice hat, fuckface!" From a complete stranger. A kid, even. I mean, what the fuck?
Love ISMO. I will start a new religion to worship him called Ismoism. I now believe in Ismoism. It will be hard to pronounce, but that is what will make it even more believable. The book will be a Merriam-Webster and Ismo the prophet. dictionary.
We're finally treated to a great ISMO upload and what do we find? Spelling police and complaining in the comments. Is this a Finnish/Swedish thing to do this on comedy videos? Please give us more comedy so these guys can relax and laugh 🤣🚨👮♂️🌹
OK, then how about an honest constructive criticism? What's with the hard-coded subtitles? And why are they so huge? You're not hard to understand, and besides, you can upload subtitles with your video that the viewer can turn on or off. I just don't get why stand-up comics keep doing this... Maybe now you feel more comfortable 😁
... You know, some people actually use more than one social media to share their videos and not all of them have closed captions. For example, hardly anyone uses TikTok on desktop or laptop, which means they watch videos on their phone's relatively tiny screen. Is it a compliment if I tell you, that you're really great at ignoring the most obvious explanations?
@@Jinppa I doubt anyone who's so passive-aggressive is ever in danger of complimenting someone. But thank you for an explanation I hadn't thought of. That's got to be the reason.
@@theR0NIN I love how your remark of passive aggressiveness was also passive aggressive. I set the tone of conversation so I can't really blame you for that. The fun fact is that I'm Finnish, so you're mostly right about me not giving compliments. We (including me) do give compliments to small children, but adults actually have to earn those.
@@Jinppa Heh, I wasn't being passive-aggressive, I was being direct and saying exactly what I meant (including thanking you). Your remark about small children made me grin, too. I think that's actually a good perspective.
When I frst heard Americans saying "I like your..." I found it very strange. Especially that it's framed from their perspective explicitly. As if it's more of a statement of THEIR taste rather than a respect to the person they're talking to.

Oh really? You should hear his jokes about “shit” and “ass.” 😂
@@PockASqueeno yeah but where he’s from, those aren’t considered dirty 😂
@@PockASqueeno Even his jokes about shit and ass are somehow "clean". Adorable subtle.

You need a bit of grammar, but generally I agree with you - ISMO is one of the best.
Ismo is just great, I love the way he keeps it simple but providing great humor
Wow an Ismo video. I really wish the was more. I am never disappointed.
He is probably my favorite comedian. I die 😂 hearing him even when I know his jokes from watching a million times.
A compliment is almost as rare as an Ismo video. But it's always nice when you get one.
He has such a unique delivery and his accent just takes it to another level
I'm Swedish and used to live in the US. I had the same experience. But don't worry, Americans, everyone likes compliments, so keep 'em coming.
A guy like this comes around once in a generation!
Man I missed this guy!! Please post some more!!
So true...I think I got my first complement at 18 years old from my father. I was very proud.😊
Kari, tarkoittanet 'compl*i*ment'; complement taitaa merkitä täydennystä, tjsp...
I'm 33 and still waiting 🥲
What did he said?
"Boy! You're an adult now. I'm proud father. (pack your bags)"
First ? Meaning you had several ? You must be a truly great person...
@@XtreeM_FaiL Yes! Exactly! I left home at 19. Married at 21 and never looked back. I have great respect and love for my father.

In the Klingon language there is no word for "hello". The closest you can come to a greeting is "what do you want?". Finish seems to be similar... ;-)
Hyvä! Näitä on jo kaivattukin.
Ei kaivettu kuitenkaan ha ha.
I'm not good. I need more
I am glad I discovered ISMO. He’s honestly funnier than David Chappell to me.
Hey, where's the rest of this video?
Maybe it was intro? More coming...
He's not going to show the whole video here, just clips from his shows. There is more clips from this video on his channel. :)
try Australia...for complments...the most u can achieve would be a '''not too bad mate'''...
Genius!!!
How do the captions on his own channel say Sweden when he very clearly said Finland??
You're good..
What's with the captions? When they get huge and cover half the screen, they are particularly annoying.
Why are there *embedded* subtitles? cc please. I love Ismo but this video is unwatchable.
You are great Is,o! Maybe an item on the word ‘like’ that the Maericans use like 20 times in one sentence. Like you do now .. why is that?
Super Ismo
Why the large white text?! What is happening to people today?
Subtitles: sweden (finland, not sweden)
Best part about ISMO is that he’s heckling fowl language while suggesting polite manners of speaking english to an audience laughing about him being a stupid immigrant… 👍
Ohhh sooo innocent

Play on words is so funny!

Ah yes, every lonely persons greatest wish, a complement
