What's with all these Soviet Russia jokes?

I get American jokes here...and they are funny.... no big deal ...jokes ...hello...bark

i wish i could tell you

In Soviet Russia, joke makes you

I haven't heard any as of late lol

Roses are red
Violets are blue
In Soviet Russia
POEMS WRITE YOU!

I haven't really heard them much, but this girl asked me something about it but I didn't really know too much about it so I asked here.

i find most stupid, but the one funny one was a giant piece of bread(hleb) chasing the Russian communist leaders and the caption stating "In soviet Russia bread eat you" (in Russian). I knew i had the right Russian teacher at that moment, but i find most annoying.

Well Lydecho Rain, first I like to say that I would seriously to visit your country, I seen some pretty pix from there. Second they quit picking on me long enough to pick on you, sorry. LOL

Ah, they've gotten old. They were funny in the past.... Скучно!

It's an internet meme. Here's the history of it: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes...
Apparently it originated from a comedian in the 1980s. It's pretty much just an easy to make joke and isn't even really used to poke fun at Russia any more, if it ever was.

Well I hear a lot of Capitalist America jokes as well.

In Capitalist America the banks rob you.

The best way to rob a bank is to own one. :-)

Unlike 99% of folks on SH I have actually been to Soviet Russia. Remember Medeo which at one time hosted the winter olympics. I went there. Other than an amusement park, lower down the mountain, it was pretty deserted. My friend Sveta, who accompanied us, lived most of her life in Almaty (born in Tashkent: has excellent English) told me that when she was a child families used to go up to the park every weekend under the soviet times. There were buses laid on down below and families had a good day out, and everyone went at one time or another. After the fall of the Soviet empire it went private: only the wealthy people went there (because the prices went up so much) and now, today it's pretty much a ghost town. That's progress apparently.

They are hilarious?

Idk I don't really think so

Okay then. Millions disagree.

It's kind of funny, I guess..

I like the fact that it's one of the only memes older people will understand... Lol

Aww, does someone want to be a victim?

No, I'm not complaining about anything. I'm just asking a simple question because I was curious about it.

"Examples: In Soviet Russia, questions ask you. In Soviet Russia, music listens to you, etc."

Looks to me like you're quoting jokes from 30 years ago.

I still have people say them a lot, but whatever. I only got the idea for the question because I was talking to this girl about it and she soda something about this

don't sweat, Rusty has never been to the Soviet Union. His opinons are the ones he gets from other people.

I haven't heard any in a long time and the ones you qouted don't make any sense to me. Might be a language barrier.

I don't know. I have never heard any.

Examples: In Soviet Russia, questions ask you. In Soviet Russia, music listens to you, etc.

No, I still haven't ever heard any. People here take Soviet Russia as still a serious topic.

I take it as a serious topic too, especially since I live in Russia But literally every time I see a post about this, there's one of these jokes and I kind of find it annoying.

I don't know where you are looking at, but I honestly can say, no. No Soviet jokes.

i got no clue

Thank me for this question :3

Thank you XD. I didn't mean to copy you or anything

Just wanting to throw it out thier :3
