Just amazing... when to pause ..when to raise the voice... everything he has is pure entertainment
Where ever Ismo is, there's laughter 😍
lmao I cracked up at "TRANSPORTATION"
Yeah, that line completely killed me. I didn't know you can shoot beer that far, through your nose...
Was hooked after the "Piece of shit" bit. Is delivery & timing are perfect! I cry laughing at everything he does.
Comment!
This is so very true. I’m fairly fluent in Finnish but it took years to become conversationally competent. However even being willing to learn the basics of ‘hello’ ‘thanks’, and ‘’bye’ earns a very positive response.
Finnish is no linguistic piece of cake either. It is said that, if you ask a Finn to teach you his language, you will have a friend for life - because that’s how long it will take you to learn it.
It's not so difficult at all. Even small children can speak Finnish.
Lol small kids learn how to speak and write Chinese too, one of the most difficult languages to learn. That's not a very good analogy
I learned Finnish in a year. And at the same time I learned how to walk.
@@oh2mp So did I. Minä myös.
Does that mean y'all dumb to learn new languages ? 😂
I have a Russian friend who is a professional tour guide who speaks several languages fluently. When he leads Finnish groups he does the tours in English on the grounds no one can speak Finnish
Any language is good in that scenario, they're all drunk anyway 😂
It turned out that Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody from Hogwarts was so funny in his early ages.
Oh yeah, I wondered who he reminded me of! Moody looked Irish while Ismo looks Finnish, but yeah, there's a similarity ☺️
Yes!!! Omg I was wondering why this guy reminded me of someone. 😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😆 since laughter is the best remedy, Ismo has me cured. Hilarious
Making people laugh without yelling, bad words, insulting or demeaning anyone. How many comedians can do this?
His most popular acts are based around the words SHIT and ASS, where he says then 100 times. 🤷
@@84stoney Hahah valid, but it's about discussing the word and it's definitions vs using the word negatively.
my favourite criticism of english grammar comes from some other comedian that pointed out in his stand up
"i dance, you dance, we dance, you dance, they dance, but he dances?! why?! is he dancing more than me? 645 people dance, but he dances? how much is this motherf*cker dancing?!"
that joke is by Rafi Bastos
My favorites have always been, "one house, two houses, one mouse, two mice ...". Or one ship, two ships, one sheep, two sheep. Plus one goose, two geese, one mongoose, two mongooses. The English language is messed up 🤣😂😅
Try explaining how 'Kansas' and 'Arkansas' are pronounced to a foregner. 🤯 It only gets worse when they ask you 'why the difference?' 🤷🤦
😂😂😂
I love him too. He is good
Excellent and very intelligent twist on humour.
Hilarious and painful. Genuinely funny, but also absolutely true about the English Language. I always tell anyone who complains about another language, "The majority of other languages are a bunch of established rules with a few circumstantial exceptions. English is a majority of incoherent exceptions that might associate with an odd guideline."
Plus Czech is a million established rules with a million exceptions that make no sense.
Susan Dent has a video on the f-word, "Susan Dent F-word", she's just as hilarious as in the Cats (count)Down.
In the English language, one does not need to know whether a piece of wood is he or she. So it's easier than many other languages. Not in Finnish either, thank goodness. On the contrary, the difference between he and she doesn't exist, sometimes a person is even referred to as "it".
French is literally the definition of : few rules, thousands of exceptions
Try a language where the words change based on preceding and proceeding words.
And French. I mean, I love French, but the language doesn’t follow its rules at all!
Watched this skit so many times, never fails to crack me up!
I think once was prolly enough, but ok
Finnish humor... very underrated but one of the best out there.
Mmmmh. No.
Yes it is!!
Hmm no, definitely rated the way it deserves. This was such a boring act lol
Really ? I am not so sure! Half baked surely 😮
@@blackmamba9950 when its not dirty humour u have to have smart humour, which i guess isnt ur cup of tea
Ismo is a genius!
Tuve la oportunidad de enseñar español a unas personas de Bélgica y me impresionó que hablaran inglés, francés, italiano y flamenco (flemish) y me decían que mucha gente en Europa habla entre tres y cuatro idiomas. Le deseo mucho éxito Ismo.
After Sisu, it's refreshing to hear from a Finn with a sense of humour.
Didn't you find Sisu fun?
@@MikkoRantalainen Sure, but I'm weird. It was a grim tale, esp when they tried to hang him.
Lol...loved this guy. Will be watching his career. Hope he's successful!
Well, he won the "Funniest person in the world" competition in the US in 2014, went on Conan in 2018 so his career is pretty well on its way already. He uses his stage fright to perfect his unique performance rather than work it off. Brilliant!
He is very clever!! I love this guy!!
3:47 I love how he says "Shituation" considering the context.
Shitchiuation! 😂
It´s like you trying to say the Finnish name Kyösti Kuosmanen....
Amazing, and pure joy to watch. Even the 'hesitations' are timed to perfection. ISMO is a breath of fresh air with intelligent, well-observed, superbly delivered humour.
Wow.. Cracking jokes in a language that isn't your first.. You're just good
Omg! I haven’t had so much laugh in a very long time….😂😂😂😂
Hilarious! True story. I met my girlfriend at a beach in China. She was selling seashells.
So all you've got to do now is make friends with Ismo, get your girlfriend to go back to that job, then somehow get a scenario in which Ismo has to describe to somebody else what your girlfriend does for a living.
Ismo has a legendary status as a comedian. 4ever 4sure 4real. Piste. Koko Suomi rakastaa Ismoa
Ismo is very talented! 👏
Coming from an island-rich country, I can confirm that tourists buy sea shells from sellers selling seashells by the seashore all year round.
😂
They sell more expensive sea shell those must be better than free ones on the beach...
Seashells from the seashore are not like seashells from the seashell seller shelf. 😜
Yes but who picks the peppers?
The missus in the story didn't sell, uh shells but something like coprolites or fossils. They've talked about it on QI.
You made me laugh. Thank you 🙏
It's amusing how easily you can distinguish between Finns, Swedes and Norwegians speaking English. The accent just doesn't want to go away, of course depending on when you first started learning and how much effort you put into it.
True! Whenever I hear a Swede speak English it's an instant recognition! Though Ismo has also said in his book that he prefers to even emphasize the accent a little bit. Makes him more memorable.
@@juhodavinci I'm quite sure that Ismo speaks now fluent American English. It's the character that does that accent, although I think it's a nice for natives to understand anyway.
Why tf would you want it to go away though.
Excellent!!
His almost Mr Bean like laugh inbetween sentences adds to his character and story-telling. Great guy!
Very very funny. I enjoyed it. Thank you ❤️
Brilliant, this guy understand English better than natives.
Americans don't speak English
Understands* 😂😂
When there was a Radio Shack on the Boardwalk, and your radio runs out of batteries, you'd need to know that "She sells c-cells by the sea shore." - Happens all the time.
I love how he says sheshels in the sheshore...😂😅
Wait until Ismo gets,"I'm not a pheasant plucker, i'm the pheasant plucker's son...."😅
How I understood it, his problem are not necessarily tongue twisters but the difference between the s-sound and the sh-sound, because Finnish doesn't have a sh-sound, as far as I know.
@@bananenmusli2769 Technically there are a few words that do have the sh sound, though those are mainly loan words and not Finnish origin oones
This guy is truly amazing made me laugh hard. 😂🎉🎉
He's genuinely funny!
Lol before he said transportation I was thinking he's going to say transportation lol
Loved it - made me LOL loads of times !
Hahahaa! "Transportation", hahahaa! Can´t stop laughing! Ismo is great!
Comment!
Very funny! Had a good laugh :)
ISMO ALWAYS makes me laugh out loud!
ISMO might need to point her out if ever he encounters a computer saleswoman by the sea:
A UNIX saleslady named Lenore
Liked her work, but loved the beach more
She found a good way
To combine work and play
She now sells C shells by the seashore
(sorry, nerd humor)
Oooh more of my favorite Finnish comedian!
OMG! He is so funny! And Cute!
Learning languages is fun.
In my language, when someone is saying a bad word, instead of yelling "language!", most of the times we say "mouth!".
When someone saying stupid things, we can say "idiot!" OR "your brain!"
I sailed the world for 40 + years in the merchant navy and have been in Finland countless times...after Sweden. Norway, Denmark...Finland the language is a huge shock...i always said you first need a throat operation to speak it..but i liked Finland..just dont be a drinker or smoker... no one can afford it
Ismo is my dream man and I’m not kidding.
I know what you mean. Smart, funny, and a lovely mane you just wanna run your fingers through 😅
@@kayEnt3rtainm3ntThere's many men like Ismo in Finland. Same hairstyle, clothings and sense of humour. Ismo is perfect for representing finnish humour.
@@TheSanezu yes, tell them! I am here.. pick me! pick me ! I am single :-)
... in southern finland, and if i didt have my humour i would end myself using the finnish standard suicide instrument: a rowing boat
- the manual says "at midsummernight, row out on the lake (it will be bright skies in finland) get drunk, then stand up and try to pee over the reiling.
Drop over and drown....
fortunately, i am not there yet :)
This guy is a cross between Chris Farley and Benny Hill. Someone needs to put him in movies.
I've been saying something similar to friends for the past 5+ years. I do think Hollywood would love him.
I just love him and his comedies 😂
Just love Ismo!
My man 🤣👍
"She sells sea shells by the sea shore" is actually based on a woman named Mary Anning, who discovered the first icthyosaur skeleton in England in the 1800s
I saw it coming and still laughed. Transportation!😂
I went to this small town in western Denmark. There was a house with local sea shells covering the house. Inside the house was a shop where they were selling sea shells and other souvenirs. The seller was a woman. She was selling sea shells by the sea shore.
Oh he's so great
You Are golden
This guy is pure genius.
When you've mastered 'Irish wristwatch', you've got it. Kiitos Ismo!
'Mixed biscuits' is another beauty.
And if we are in Britain: Red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry...
high level intellect, absolutely amazing. should meet Chomsky.
Very kind humor
theo von really stepped up his game. 😄nicely done.
This guy gives hilarious a new level.😂😂😂😂😂😂
To make a career while learning a language is a skill 👍
Funnier than the audience gave him credit for, imho.
He’s brilliant!
Hysterical
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
Love this guy lol 😂😂😂😂
There are plenty of vendors who sell seashells by the seashore in countries like Philippines, and they come in different variety and forms.
Love it funny az
Kiitos
2:40 - Language is language and a bus is a bus, no? 🤨🤣😜
Troppo simpatico!!! 🤣
Great comic.
You have to be so talented and brave to succeed in stand-up. Imagine being this funny doing it in a second language in front of natives. Kudos to him.
Finnish humour is something else...
Of course, I'm sure that someone has taken the time to explain to ISMO that the admonition "LANGUAGE!" is just a shortend form of the phrase "Mind your language", which means "be careful what you say, because someone might be listening"... Yes, English is so messed up. Maybe we will switch to Suomi, because that language is very simple 🤣
English-speaking people can't fathom doubling any vowels beside "e" and "o"... We can't abide such things as "aa" or "ii" or "uu"; add-in the dots and we're lost; we can't say "ää" or "öö"...
If we can even identify Suomi , we know it because of the repetitive vowels, the excessive "k"s, and the use of "-nen" at the end....
An average English speaking person would not even be able to recognize this next line as "fake Finnish":
Sä paa lekkanönaakkarannen üppa päakeeroniknen ko kükülassonapö "Hockey" küütliinenenen.
(We can't speak Hungarian or Turkish either.)
@@giuseppelogiurato5718 My Finnish friend said once that Finnish language sounds like a guy with bunch of stuff falling down the stairs :D
This guy is awesome...has quite a good understanding of the english language
Bring him back to Montreal!
"hattatatatatat..." is actually of Germanic origin, meaning "I see what you are going to do there - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! don't you DARE!"; the overall British friendliness has softened its meaning over the centuries to the mentioned "that's enough tea in my cup now" with a slight "you moron" undertone.
My favorite English word is BULLSH!T....😂ismo is also fascinated by the English word "Ass." Do watch his video on that word! Hilarious!
Mine is from the UK. It means For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Legal term!! True….. look it up ⬆️👍🏻🤣❤️😉😅
Super funny!
😂😂😂😂 every time!
There is a travel diary called “Sellin’ Seychelles By The Sea Shore” partially named after this tongue twister.
The three free trees. God bless you all the heathens from the old country.
Very funny funny man. Thanks youtube algorithm
Hahahahahahahahahaa. AhahaTatatatatataaaa 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏👏👏👏👏
B-but... wait, that's ALL?!
How is this not an hour long!???
sure is, but they want to sell shows.. not give it away on youtubes.
Seashore seashells by the seashore "she sells seashells by the seashore" hahahhshahhshah😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
About selling sea shells at the sea shore. It's not a bad idea at all. They are selling pretty well to tourists if the sea shells are beautifully polished and laquered.
You're absolutely right. And yet you do find shopkeepers at the shore selling shells. 🙄
definetely not in finland :)
This guy's comedy bit I do believe in the way his voice varies as he's saying she sells seashells by the seashore..
Saw him live last night at the O2...I was crying 😂😂
Nice
so beautifully funny
I have loved Ismo ever since he debut on Conan!
"Hadadadadadadad" in German means "hadadadadadadad". I thought that was universal 😅
Of course, if you go to the UK, in every seaside town, you will certainly encounter MANY businesses where she sells seashells by the seashore, and the shells that she sells are definately seashells for sure. Try Lyme Regis in Dorset, St Yves in Cornwall or even Whitby in Yorkshire. Some lady will have a gift shop selling shells and other sea stuff.
