These are just awful. Sounds nothing like Kipper and they're unfunny.

Agreed. These sound clips are terrible and should be buried..

I hope they realize that Kipper is Finnish and not Austrian or Norwegian, whatever accent this guy was trying to pull off.

No matter how funny the dialogue could be, I can't get past the failed accent. Amateur.

It's a caricature. Not really meant be to be a perfect impression. It is just a set-up for absurdist lines about "Finnish" culture.

Alright, but still terribly unfunny. Maybe they aren't meant to be funny either. If so, he has succeeded.

Comedy is subjective. Some find it funny, some do not. Neither camp is right or wrong.

For sure. Just like how some stand up comedians are making millions and there are some barely making enough to pay their rent.

I think Richards would be in the latter conversation.

Totally....and I didn't like all of Richards stuff but I have to say that Puckluck is the first person I have ever heard rip the Mikka bits.....not criticizing because comedy is for sure subjective.

Even Flames haters I know find this stuff funny.

Disagree, this stuff is filth. It's people like you that allowed the comedy" show Reba to get greenlighted.

That wasn't just unfunny, it was head ache inducingly awful. How hard is it btw to get a Finnish accent right?
Or does this guy think all Europeans sound like the three little pigs from the Shrek films?

Lol, I pay attention just fine, sorry I missed the other guy in the thread.

I don't read the off-topic threads so maybe there are a "tonne" of people over there who were consistently and constantly ripping the Mikka bits...you got me there.

Fact is your the first guy I heard/read. I am talking about the Mikka bit's only, plenty of all encompassing Richard's ripping bled into the FOA threads...anyway done with this topic.

It's never an inappropriate time to call Reba out.
