What the Hell is Going on in Russia? [video]

confused What the Hell is Going on in Russia? [video]

They say context is everything.  Like say you walk into a room and see grandpa with his penis in his hand and it’s on fire and right away you might think “Jesus, again?” but really, ninjas could have come in and tried to kill you and your whole family and grandpa, after they set his dick on fire, managed to kill them all with his bare hands and was just now getting to putting his flaming wang out.  You don’t know.  You need context.

That said, can there be any suitable context for this video?  What the fuck is happening here?  Usually anything we post on FunnyCrave has some manner of context, some story or at least a single factoid onto which we can grasp and build an article out of.  This is the bastard child of Mr. Bean and Frankenstein on what appears to be Russia television in the 1970’s (but could possibly have been filmed last year despite the time stamp), lip synching a song that doesn’t have words.

 

This literally goes on for over two minutes, meaning someone thought this merited air time in its entirety.  It’s not a hokey intro to something else, the way every day time television and radio show segues into bullshit on the back of more insipid bullshit, this is the real deal.  Incidentally, if you’re involved in daytime TV, like talk shows or those godforsaken 4 hour local “news” shows that feature things like cat salons or a local man who wears 10 pairs of pants every day, you’re a horrible human being.

Putting our heads together around the office, we tried to fathom what might be occurring here. Aside from the Mr. Bean/Frankenstein, here’s what we came up with;

  • Hyper advanced Russian ventriloquist dummy
  • Russian Satan
  • Bleached Wayne Brady
  • Patient Zero of Douchebaggery
  • Musical serial killer
  • The bad guy from the Howie Mandel movie “Little Monsters” all grown up
  • An asshole
  • Russian Perry Como
  • Russian Burt Bacharach
  • Russian Lawrence Welk
  • Russian “insert pussified lounge act here”
  • What happens in solitary confinement in Russian prisons
  • Siberian 50 Cent
  • Russian Mr. Rogers, assuming Russian Mr. Rogers is completely insane
  • The closets the Soviets ever got to Soul Train

    He looks just about as fakey as you’d expect that someone who could sing like this in Russia would have to be. And if you have a hit you have to lip-sync it on TV. It doesn’t seem all that odd – I liked the little soprano Slim Whitman part in the middle.

    I'm nearly certain that was some sort of mind control shit. I just watched the video intently three times in a row and now I don't feel so good.
