Russian Sherlock Holmes jokes. Part 2

Mar 18, 2007 08:33


Like I said before, the Livanov SH series are extermely popular in Russia, so that national Sherlock jokes/anecdotes became very popular here too. A few months ago, I post several jokes. It was Part 1. Now Part 2. One Russian blogger called Sam has written about 20-30 Sherlock Holmes jokes. I have translated 14 of them into English.

Read and enjoy, ( Read more... )

anecdotes, jokes

Thank you, my dear Alek. You are always plenty of resources. In addition, today I am super-happy, since i read that soon would make films with Sherlock Holmes and Watson as protagonists. Perhaps it is the first time that i can see them in the cinema, imagine my emotion…

As for new Hollywood Sherlock project, I'm big sceptic. Imagine,the politically correct Sherlock Holmes will not smoke pipe, he will more to act by fists, but not the Method of Deduction, etc. Plus: Russel Crow will play Holmes. My God!

By the way, I have found yet one link on Russian Sherlock Holmes clip (about 9 min)

Oh, Holmes politically correct, too, oh, no God forget!!! Well, i am 40 years old and never can see the master in Cinema *sigh* i have some hopes with the imminent film. In the Spanish language we have a old sentence: when I am hungry never the bread seems to me hard… (I hope that it is possible to be understood) I either do not see Russell Crowe it like Holmes, but… On to other hand, I thank you again by your contributions, I love to receive the news yours, always are good (is a shame that they have eliminated clips of Russian-Holmes of Youtube, damn!!)

I just have known that there are two Russian Holmes clips:

welcome :)

I have to ask you:
How do you think if I'll posting here yet texts, reviews, essays, etc about the phenomenon of Russian Cinema? In my view, there are English texts about Russian/Soviet movies too little in Internet. Indeed, I'll do texts about Russian Sherlock series too.
