Funny phrases: remember, discuss, laugh

Each of us has his own ideas about humor. However, all thinking individuals are united by a relevant joke released to the place. She is always much appreciated. Funny phrases are repeated repeatedly, sometimes after many years, and their authors become true legends.

Literary sources

Not everyone is able to give out something brilliant, having come up with a cue on the go, between things. Most people just remember what ridiculous phrases in a similar environment have already been said. And this is enough to pass for a wit. Earlier, in the pre-computer era, when there were not even televisions, in the forties, at the beginning of the fifties, the great novels of Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov served as an invaluable storehouse of “winged words and expressions”. The books written by them were interesting in themselves, but really funny phrases made and presented to their brother Petrov (it was a pseudonym) Valentin Kataev made them really outstanding. He heard them in Odessa, in the 1920s, during the NEP. Then they were so used to these aphorisms in the glorious southern city that they did not perceive them as jokes, but simply used them everyday (“sulking” - respectful attitude to people of both sexes, “don’t teach me how to live” - an answer to moralizing, etc. .). Actually, there were practically no other literary “pearls” from which we could draw blanks for future jokes.

In pre-revolutionary Russia, the author of many comic aphorisms was Kuzma Prutkov. The shortest of them was the call “Bee!”, But collective authorship gave birth to many others: “One cannot embrace the immense”, “If the lion is written on the cage with a donkey, then do not believe your eyes ...”, etc.

Movie

Books are books (“Schmig books, I read them all”), and yet it was also the most popular of the arts. And comedies were filmed in the Stalinist (and subsequent) years. Some of the artists, deep people with a complex spiritual organization, were extremely annoyed that all of their work, in the understanding of the average viewer, fit into one or two funny phrases spoken in several episodes. How angry the brilliant Faina Ranevskaya was at “Mula” (“Mula, don’t make me nervous!”) From the movie “Foundling”! In the eighties, Sadalsky and his "purse-wallet" also got it. Actor Yakovlev, who played at that time in the film adaptation of The Idiot and many other serious films, was also remembered by many as the manager, “demanding a continuation of the banquet.” But there are also unconditional good luck. And today, inviting guests to the table, many hosts notify guests that “eat it, sit down to eat, please” (“Gentlemen of Fortune”). Commenting on the results of the process, even very experienced lawyers mention the “most humane court in the world” (“Prisoner of the Caucasus”), adding that the monument cannot be planted (again “Gentlemen”).

There are a lot of examples when funny phrases from films became favorite aphorisms, while injuring the souls of the artists who pronounced them from the screen. Say, the same Alexei Buldakov in the role of general, endlessly speaking toasts.

However, the actors still get used to such fame, but what can you do. After all, folk love should still be appreciated, even if it does not manifest itself in a completely successful form.

Conversation

In terms of popularity, artists who utter humorous and satirical monologues under ramp lights are often superior to popular singers and movie stars, not to mention politicians. Arkady Raikin, who began his stage career at the time of the greatest lifetime glory of Ilf and Petrov, is deservedly considered the coryphaeus of the genre. The funniest phrases were uttered by him in the seventies, during live performances in many cities of the Soviet Union, many of them were popularly quoted on television films with his participation. Almost everyone knew about the "Greek Hall", and when they visited the Hermitage, they even asked him to show it (in fact, such an exhibition does not exist). And also “difficit”, “I began to smoke and speak at the same time”, “the era was vile” ...

Then came the era of Zhvanetsky, who perhaps himself was surprised at his own success, because he said what everyone saw and heard. His miniatures were wonderfully performed by loyal friends, Roman Kartsev and Victor Ilchenko: “Where were you from eight to eleven? - It's me, Koltsov! "," And yet it is very unfortunate that we did not hear the head of the transport department ... ". Many other colloquial artists perform well, replenishing the folk vocabulary with winged and very funny phrases.

Other examples of popular funny phrases

In the film "The Leader of the Redskins," one of the bandits shares his thoughts on the possibility of reaching the Canadian border in ten minutes. The expression became common in extreme haste. In the absence of time, but this time for amorous courtship, the phrase from "Munchausen" about mutual damn attractiveness is used. The need for accuracy of instructions is illustrated by the words about the "woman" (which flowers) and ice cream (for children, with an emphasis on "I"). In the company of friends who were slightly out of control, it is quite acceptable to whisper a verse from a song about “airplane wing” in a loud whisper, also it will turn out funny. And patience and the need to protect your nerves are declared by the call “Calm down, Hippolytus”, with the indispensable stroking of your own belly. In general, there are countless examples.

Humor in politics

Jokes from high stands during the years of the USSR’s existence sounded rare, it was believed that very serious people rule the country, and therefore it is inappropriate to laugh during their speeches. The situation changed after the collapse of a huge state. The heads of new countries began to give out funny phrases one after another, sometimes not wanting it themselves, but often and quite intentionally. The most prominent post-Soviet wit was V.S. Cheromyrdin, who had the subtlest humor. With his fleeting and topical jokes, he helped the people survive the difficulties of hard times.

We quote the most famous of them. “It is impossible to sew Chernomyrdin something!”, “They wanted the best, but it turned out as always”, “We continue what we have already done a lot.”

A sense of humor is also a talent that is not inherent in everyone, but among world politicians there have always been truly witty people. And the current president of our country does not go into his pocket for a word.
