Yakoff Smirnoff the Genius

"What a Country"

  • Reading employment announcements of "Part-Time Woman Wanted": "What a country! Even transvestites can get work."
  • Upon being offered work as a barman on a "graveyard shift," he remarks “A bar in a cemetery! What a country! Last call? During Happy Hour the place must be dead."
  • At the grocery store: "Powdered milk, powdered eggs, baby powder . . . 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'."
  • "You have such nice things in the U.S.—like warning shots!"


In America, you can always find a party.
In Soviet Russia, Party finds you!
