Idiots don't understand them and just swap two random words around to create a new nonsense sentence and then laugh hysterically about it when, the really irritating thing is they don't know why they're laughing and couldn't explain it if you ask them.
Idiots need a fucking aneurysm.

That one was actually not bad. Props for the Orwellian undertone. Have a cookie.RebelRising said:
I got these off of Smirnoff's article at wiki:
*Reading employment announcements of "Part-Time Woman Wanted": "What a country! Even transvestites can get work."
*At the grocery store: "Powdered milk, powdered eggs, baby powder ... what a country!"
*At the grocery store after finding "New Freedom" Maxi Pads: "Freedom in a box! What a country!"
*"The first time I went to a restaurant, they asked me 'How many in your party?' and I said 'Six hundred million'."
*"We have no gay people in Russia ? there are homosexuals but they are not allowed to be gay about it. The punishment is seven years locked in prison with other men and there is a three-year waiting list for that."
Most "In Soviet Russia" jokes are dumb. They're purposefully dumb, to play on the humor of a Russian person telling a joke that crosses the language divide very, very poorly. And it's funny...with diminished returns. The fact that people kept pushing the joke long past it's prime was also funny, but for an even shorter time frame. However, a good number of the more original Yakov Smirnoff style jokes were quite clever. I always liked, "In America, you can always find a party. In Soviet Russia, Party finds you". The "Job determines your marks/Marx determines your job" one is also very clever. Simply switching the words completely changes the meaning to something dark and Orwellian through the clever application of Homonyms, as opposed to a vague implication of oppression by switching roles that most of the bad jokes rely on.
