Only an idiot would get on a commercial flight in military outfit. If they are on vacation, they should go in with the other passengers without being singled out. It is utterly absurd to make special cases of soldiers; why not doctors? Or lawyers? Or fast food servers?
@@mykeprior3436It's not ridiculous, I'm from Finland and can relate to most of this. I was weirded out by seeing American soldiers (they were in their uniforms) boarding the same plane going from Dallas TX to Helsinki as me. That doesn't really happen in Europe.
A bit off topic: Bro, I'm so glad I got your videos in my feed. For a year I worked in IT, as part of the Dutch team and the other team being Finnish. I can hear a mix of my ex-colleagues Jussi and Timo in your voice when you tell a joke. How Finnish people talk is just perfect for comedy: a kind of lethargy paving the way for subterfuge punchlines :D Cheers!
❤❤❤ You're the best comedian I've seen and heard in many, many years!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your humor with the world! All the best to you. Keep it coming, Izmo, and don't get lost in the machine! ❤❤❤
The Army chartered a 747 once to take us to a training site, and I got the biggest kick out of asking the flight attendant where I should stow my machine gun. She didn't miss a beat, either. She had me put it under the seats so it wouldn't accidentally fall out of overhead storage and knock someone cold. There was no beverage service
Finally an Ismo I have no idea about and can ask my american friends "what is he talking about" instead of saying "haha you guys have a silly country".
Ismo is actually NCO in the Finnish Army :D Corporal is his rank and this is true story. Actually he might be even sergeant if he got promoted in military refresher courses...
Told stand up joke about his military time. Shortly he thought when promoted he can sleep longer (actually it was shorter). So he made joke that probably Generals wake up very early. Its finnish.
I feel like having watched years of Kimi Räikkönen's interviews and watcing him I can understand a lot about Finns. I must say I love it haha. Too bad there are too few o them in the world so it's difficult to meet one.
whats so good about boarding first? you have a seat assigned to you so the later you board the longer you can be in a big room with a lot of air and space to stretch your legs before entering a tiny death capsule and taking the seat that is reserved for you. plus if you dont have a window seat and board first and someone with a window seat comes after you you probably have to get up and/or move to let this person through. or am I seeing something wrong?
Because those military planes he is talking about are by availability only or on missions. Too many change of stations going on world wide to fly them all on military assets, besides the fact that the military uses civilians for cooks, on post maintenance, training glasses, etc. Just par for the course. Then you have the fact that aviation is federally regulated and that means they can purchase flights for soldiers on movement orders all they want to.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 I didn't say that did I? You're telling me that a Humvee is the smallest and most efficient vehicle the military has got? Another worlds they shouldn't want for anything. All of their needs should be met by the military until they aren't in the military anymore. For what they're doing.
I mean most people (including Ismo of course) knows what it actually means but its just a funny premise. But for the question, its not just enlisted, its also those going to war zones or on deployment. You fly to bases commercial often. Military jets take off from military bases generally.
In the Finnish language, active means now, engaged. So, if literally translated, it would be like asking armed soldiers, guns in hand, to board first. Ready for WAR!!😂😂😂
Aren’t you a member of active military also? ‘Cause you have military training and that military is rather active as we speak even though you aren’t in that sense. So wouldn’t you be a (passive) member of active military? It could have been a courtesy call from airline to veterans of ‘an’ active military to be able to board first. You should have shown your military passport and seen where that road would have taken you.
US military only? Or any "combatants"? (They changed it for national parks, used to be anyone over 65, now it's only US residents over 65, or maybe even US citizens over 65, not sure...)
Many European languages have adopted English swear words. We are quite relaxed in using them. But we tend to forget native speakers of English are not. I don't know any other language in the world that replaces letters in words by asterisks.
"Johnson, take Southwest" is one the funniest punchlines
"Please stow away your parachute in the overhead compartment" 😬😬😬
😂😂
😂😂😂
I like how he takes this relatively common premise but takes it in a completely original direction
Welcome to ISMO. xD
It isn't common, though. Outside of the US it doesn't happy
Probably because he’s Finnish. The military isn’t glorified in Europe so this doesn’t happen outside the US
I've never heard of this. Must be a US thing.

He sees things from outside the box, waaaaaay outside.
From Finland.
So outside one could consider it perhaps even rediculous.

He *sees* ridiculous things done or said by others without noticing. Stroke of Genius.

careful. you know we can understand you - right? 🙂
...not to mention, as a finnish citizen - ismo probably is well aquainted with the military, beeing in the reserves himself...

Been following for years and I am waiting impaciently for that HBO special. Keep up the great work.

Ismo misheard the announcement.
It's "Active military *bored* now" -- and suddenly it all makes sense...
And in the summer, that metal tube sits in the sun for hours before take-off. AC comes on when the engines start.
this guy is so far out, he doesn't even know there IS a box
In that case, we all are. In Scandinavia (and large parts of Europe).
We constantly learn about new boxes in the USA, kind of.
Ismo! He is the best!

really? how did you get that info

@@markuskankare3167 ooohhhh ok thanks
@@ramalshebl60 No problem, if you ask why he did military. Simple answer, finns must duty army (0,5 to 1 year) or civil service (1 year)
@@ramalshebl60 Finland has mandatory conscript service for all men. Service time is 6, 9 or 12 months depending on your training.

If we simple finns can be finns, so can you!
Relax your ring-muscle, let out a sigh (from both ends) and just be yourself! :)
@@JWAM 😂😂
You should visit Finland. There are quite many of us in here.
@@Maihme I intend to. A cousin of my loves in estonia, and she's crossed over there a few times. She liked it.
This is a Netflix special 😂❤
the war is my favourite airport
The way he delivers his punchlines remind me somehow of the late Victor Borge (a Dane, a w/o music)
it's hard to realize but Ismo has also done military in finland, I think he was a NCO
Hahaha lol Johnson: take Southwest 😅😅😅😅😅

truth of the today, amateurs boards first
you get there first /s
what do you mean with that?@@jeffbarrett791
Tiny death capsule? Flying is safer than walking.
screw you, bepowerification, i had to bring a towel and hit your fly on your profile picture 😡😆😆😂
He is a master of the English language..❤
ThereISMOre!
He's right. Why is the military taking civilian planes? Active or not the Military should be taking them to where they have to go.
Because those military planes he is talking about are by availability only or on missions. Too many change of stations going on world wide to fly them all on military assets, besides the fact that the military uses civilians for cooks, on post maintenance, training glasses, etc. Just par for the course. Then you have the fact that aviation is federally regulated and that means they can purchase flights for soldiers on movement orders all they want to.
So if there's a bus route from your house to the mall, the military should come pick you up in a Humvee, so you can go shopping? WTF.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay tf cheaper usually.
@@luigiprovencher8888what if it’s guys just heading home for leave? Take a military plane for that?
So where we dropping?
Johnson hates being on South West!
Military does actually fly commercial sometimes. Nice bit, though.
We flew commercial all the way to Kuwait then transferred to military aircraft when i deployed to Afghanistan in 2010.
Chicago or somewhere?
Hope someday you host the Golden Globes award...
awesome funny!!
Passive Military 😂😂
Is it on my end or is the volume really low?
low
maybe, currently enlisted, rather than going on a mission.
I mean most people (including Ismo of course) knows what it actually means but its just a funny premise.
But for the question, its not just enlisted, its also those going to war zones or on deployment. You fly to bases commercial often. Military jets take off from military bases generally.

He's in the reserve so not active.
Ah. True. Damn.

well ismo is a reserve soldier so i wonder if he wouldve been allowed to board in that case
@@onnihalme2047It is America, if you show them a Finnish military passport I doubt they look too much into it.
😂😅🤣
Hilarious! For the Vigilant, we take our planes to war and civilian planes home or to post.
And then everyone, including the civilians, have to jump out of the plane
With parachute ?
@@Odin_Borson That costs extra
Hi Ismo, you seem like a good person. You know I believe you would be much more respected and liked if you didn't swear. Seriously. Take care Ismo.
Many European languages have adopted English swear words. We are quite relaxed in using them. But we tend to forget native speakers of English are not. I don't know any other language in the world that replaces letters in words by asterisks.
Or maybe you would be more respected and liked if you did swear...
Bro, could you please upload something else then 2 minute clips? This is SO frustrating.
Louis CK has a bit about this, too.
These fake insecurity sounds are cringe Ismo. You don't need to sound dumb to be fun.
That fake laugh IS not good from ismo
