The stuttering, stammering delivery is absolute genius! And I love how sometimes you slowly fade certain parts. And package all of that comedic punch with a sort of naivete and curiosity of a foreigner in a foreign country. Ismo you are truly brilliant lad! Keep up the good work! Hope you pop by Canada soon!
That's the self-deprecating Finnish sense of humor for you. He uses the stuttering, and his accent and just-slightly-"off" grammar, to emphasize his position as a foreigner observing American culture from the outside, and his sense of bemusement at what he's seeing. And then lampshades it by using the word so naturally a couple times ("I didn't know shit." ... "I had to study that shit.") An American comedian could try doing a bit on the same observations, and if they're good enough, maybe they could make it work, but it would never be anywhere near as funny. Maybe I'm biased (being half Finnish), but I don't know if it could work quite so well for someone from any other country either. (Possibly India? I don't know.)
@@voidstarq India has more to say, too. They have also good sense of humour that I really love. I'm not an Indian. I'm a Filipino. I watch more Indian movies and Indian stand up comedians. They're also amazing. I'm working with Indian colleagues for more than 13 years now. Tiktok has more of Indian humours also.

I am a teacher of English as a foreign language and this has to be my favourite video ever. I have no idea how to explain the nuances of shit in my native language though.
I feel like, for non-native English speakers, it seems to be a matter of immersion and context. People speak lingo that even other native English speakers don't seem to understand. English is bloody hard to learn and understand. Too many nuances, and complicated grammar rules!
@cola00000 That depends on what aspects of the language you are talking about. The grammar is resonably simple, but the irregular "english" spelling and pronunciation is horrible, for instance.
@cola00000 It feels easy because English is so universal and used in every day life. If we would switch Chinese with English you would say it is easy too. One guy learnt Chinese language in two years, it's not hard if you HAVE to adjust to that language.
This never gets old. It's honestly one of the funniest sketches I've ever seen. It's so well done, well observed, well written, well delivered. THANKYOU!
Ismo is hilarious, In some ways, I find him like George Carlin, talking about the english language. But the way Ismo presents it, is just beautiful. Love his style.
Your second round on Bring the Funny was the only act I laughed out loud the whole way through. You're style and sense of humor are top notch! Somebody give this guy a Netflix special!
I adore your style of comedy. I really hope you are able to record a whole comedy special (preferably in English, but the Finnish stuff with English subtitles is still good) at some point.
He can definitely make his shit hit the fan, his fanbase is getting bigger by the day. Saw him in during my military service when he was doing his military refresher course at the same regiment. Even at the dining queue he managed to gather a small and noisy crowd while telling some jokes to his friends.
I don't know how many times I've watched this, I die every time. English cuss words are really the funniest to translate, because they can be used in so many contexts
I was a California court reporter/stenographer for 30 years, and I Love Your Comedy so much. American English is extremely quirky and fickle, the slang is robust, but you get it, And you point out the hilarity. Cheers to you!
My two favorite comedians are Bill Hicks and George Carlin. I also enjoy Maniscalco for his physical humor, but I just discovered this guy and he's brilliant. His delivery is the shit!
This must be the best English teaching course! not kidding folks, don’t even bother spending money on difficult abstract courses anywhere! Hang around with this awesome guy from Finland.
Love it my late husband’s favorite word I watched you on just for laughs and shared with my daughter I wish I had found you what David was alive 💝 I was laughing and crying at the same time thank you 🤗
"Well that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word." Great bit you've got there. It reminded me of trying to teach my daughter (at 16) the different uses of the 'F' word
This shit just keeps going after the shit hit the fan in USA, because he is doing some good shit. Most of his viewers probably shit on themself because they didin't expect this kind of quality shit coming out of his mouth. He's becoming the shit, if I was other comedian there I would be shit scared. Those others comedians need to get their shit together because this shit is for real.
One of the cleverest stand up routines in years. Genius send up of English slang and gives the audience not only a great laugh, but also an insight as to how confusing English expressions must be to foreigners sometimes
Beautiful technical writing. Came here from Reddit, some other dude doing a Kelowna comedy club set... Dude didn't look like he wrote the bit, glad to find the actual ISMO
I shared this with my ESL students today. Student: like you always say, articles are important. Other student: we can tell that you give a shit about us. Me: my work is done.... LOL
Very nice to see how his style of humor has evolved. Back in the day his skit included chuckling a lot at his own jokes which felt like a laugh track, which I thought was shit. But now he's the shit.
He doesn't even have to say anything funny, when he just talks it's funny, or when he doesn't talk. Students would be laughing when he gets to "good morning". Lessons would be hilarious.
Dude, I first heard your "ass" skit on a YT clip from Conan... I never laughed so hard at the word "ass" for all the same reasons.. It's been a few years since you've been in the US (sorry things have turned to shit since then)
Might be niche, but I love when foreign-born comedians point out these little intricacies about the englisg language. Maybe because as a French, I went through the same kinda realizations. Nicely done !
@@Memorex996 The way americans use the word fuck can be a whole stand up skit as well. Unfortunately, I don't think anything can top that old video about the word "fuck" ua-cam.com/video/8Nx0sQLl7IY/v-deo.html

I never realized 'shit' was such a versatile word.
You should try "ass"
purpleprinc3 But now U know shit
No shit?
That's because you don't know shit.
Let me introduce the word "fuck"...
This shit should be included in every English course.
That would be the shit!
This guy is so funny, but the way he talks just accentuates his routine and makes it even more enjoyable.

Yup, he's got all the ingredients. EXTREMELY likable. Amazing. Bright future.
I saw his bit on "ass", which was hilarious, too!!
Is that your real picture? If so, wow 😍

@@shade19yearsago34 it's messed up that in 2019 you can appreciate someone's beauty.

Since the 'ass' bit is similar I think it could be Ismo's TV-friendly version of this bit.
That's not even getting into bullshit, horseshit, batshit, apeshit, chickenshit, and so on!

@@shade19yearsago34 But did you laugh your ass off?
Okay, but do you specifically mean the nuances of "shit", or do you mean the nuances of shit in general?

Don't ever tell someone 'Oh, English is easy.' Let this guy lay it out for you.

@@herrfriberger5 english is easy compared to other languages.
This never gets old. It's honestly one of the funniest sketches I've ever seen. It's so well done, well observed, well written, well delivered. THANKYOU!
In Finnish language there are no articles. So, as Ismo points out, an "'a" here or "the" there can really change the meaning of the phrase.
Great delivery. I like brainy humor that is not vulgar! That takes true comedic talent.
Cheers! :)
The only stand-up I keep coming back to and no matter how many times I've watched it, thus knowing exactly what's coming, I still find it so amusing.
Same here. I keep on re-watching Ismo's stuff, but nobody else's.
"I have already told you"
He deserves more views than this...underrated!
Not many people know him.
I ageee
This is definitely some underrated shit
how fitting that everyone gets just the amount of views they deserve because if they deserved more, they would have had more
@@dudo626 I'd like to say this instead of "I like your comedy". Don't take it literally. Haha

I can’t get enough of this shit. I can watch this clip now and then. So funny every time.
da's a good shit
Truly a special comedic talent! Great timing and delivery, but you always know where he’s going. The journey getting there is a riot!

Wow, second time, and it was still WAAAAAAAAY funnier than 99% of the "comics." This guy's a revolution. He's THE SHIT!
Definitely the shit but not great shit😂
He's not a piece of shit...he's the whole shit.
Outstanding.
It made me think that when one says, "To take a sh*t" it actually means to leave a sh*t because you're not taking it with you afterwards.
So funny, lol, big shout from the U.K Ismo, keep up the great and very funny work .
I don't know how many times I've watched this, I die every time. English cuss words are really the funniest to translate, because they can be used in so many contexts
I watched him do the same with the word "ass" and iy was equally funny. Some english words can have so many meanings, complicating for us non-natives.
That was great! Very well thought out and put together. His timing and delivery was spot on I thought. Great job! Very funny!!

It's so unusual with comedy bits you can watch over and over again. Your delivery is so great so there is always some nuance I haven't noticed before.
Incredible sense of humor. The level of intelligence is superior.
