It’s All Fun and Games for Russian Students: The Club of Witty and Smart

Take a look at this skit from the Russian National standup comedian students competition, the Club of Witty and Smart. They are not politically correct. They are judgemental. They are ruthless.

They are the “Клуб весёлых и находчивых” in Russian.

In this national show the students joke about president Putin, Ramzan Kadyrov, Zhirinovsky, Jennifer Psaki, Tank Biathlon, same-sex marriages, and much more.

No need to translate this one: the 4-minute skit is done in English. Even though the student actors’ English is not perfect, we can understand everything well.

The skit starts in Russian: the narrator tells us that we are about to watch a news broadcast about Russia coming from abroad (hence the use of the English language during the “broadcast”)

Enjoy!

When they talk about Tank Biathlon – they do mean Tank Biathlon; it is a true fact of life in Russia, not a joke.
