A STALKER goes to see a doctor; "doctor! I haven't had a good sleep in weeks! I have a terrible fear that snorks are hiding under my bed and when I go to sleep they'll jump out and kill me!" The doctor tells him: "I can fix that phobia for you, but not overnight. It's gonna take many therapy sessions and I charge a lot per session." The STALKER says he'll think it over, but never returns. Some time later the doctor is on a supply run and he sees the STALKER, he goes up to him and says "I remember you, you had that terrible phobia did you ever get any relief?" The STALKER tells him "I told my bartender about it, he solved my problems in five minutes." Obviously skeptical - the doctor asks how a bartender solved the problem? "My bartender told me to cut the legs off my bed."

So basically true comedy.

I believe jokes were intentionaly bad and clumsy. To make contrast between harsh stalker life routine and rare moments of rest more intense, to show that these people are so exhausted by the Zone and the need to constantly be in suspense to survive, and now they sincerely laugh at even the most stupid and childish jokes. I'd like to think there's no dark or cruel jokes, because they will not be tolerated in community of stalkers. As for the controller image in jokes, I believe these gags were added in early stages of development, when devs had huge plans about AI system, which included neutral monsters with who player could interact outside of combat, like said controller, or scrapped "Izlom" mutant.

I think you are looking into this for some sort of depth when there clearly is none and the most simple answer, that being that it was a clearly rushed script line rather than meant to convey any legitimate depth and that they are just making jokes the writers clearly didn't know how to write and that you don't want to admit the times the creators may have made a mistake in their work which you idolize, not trying to diss quite on the contrary actually, I see a lot of fans do this regarding art they are deeply passionate about and usually for good reason, so much so they tend to add onto the world that was already created which further gives the game more meaning to fans.

@@MrProboina Mm! Agreed! That one was fairly cheeky of them. A very "I see what you did there" moment. It is not among the best this video has to offer, but the one about the howling Stalker, yelling for help and unintentionally attracting a mutant was entertaining. Less so in a funny way, but more in a black "be careful what you wish for" kind of way. The fact that any of these are good enough to entertain is actually quite remarkable. Countless franchises attempt to inject casual lingo and humor into NPC dialogue, and more often than not, it comes off as cringe at best. Whereas here, even the bad jokes are voiced and written (speaking of writing I am aware this is a slightly accurate translation into English) well enough to come off as sincere and believable. Bravo, GSC.

Part of Stalker jokes are Zone adaptation of IRL jokes. Mercs drowning stalker - was joke about bandits of wild 90s (or ever of Russian Civil War times). Yelling stalker and beast - tourist and bear. Duty (or military - there is such variant) ambush and drunk stalker - factory security and worker-thief. "Radiation is no problem" - about real Chernobyl NPP accident. Brick and zombie - old joke about untolerance to some ethnic minority. In the other two Stalker games are talks about Duty and Freedom based on jokes about police and narcomans.

After so many years... WE FINALLY KNOW THE TRUTH!!!

some of them are pretty good, especially ones about controllers, it shows what people fear most, and therefore make best jokes about

Interesting to note, Loner, Duty and Freedom factions share the same jokes, just voiced by different voice actors with very minor variations on how exactly the joke is told. For example, I certainly remember the "Guy stepped into Springboard anomaly and learned to fly" joke and the "Monsters ok, Zombies ok, but why be scared of us Controllers?" joke told by some Loners. I also remember how the Loner version of that last joke differs - in the Loner version, the ending goes something like "Okay, I can understand the zombies... But why would you insult us Controllers by calling us monsters?"

The first military is a "zone" version of another joke thats about a man lost in the forest. Basically it goes something like this: A man is lost in the woods after stumbling around for a while he decides to just yell for help. a bear comes to him and asks "Dude why are you screaming like crazy?" "I´m lost so i hoped somebody will find me when i yelled loud enough" he replies The bear sighs and goes "Well i found you, now what?"

As far as I can tell, controllers were meant to be sentient and reasonable monsters, which could be dealt without violence. There is some of this idea in games, too. In Call of Pripyat there are controller who asks you to leave his cavern first, and attacks only if you move further. I played these games long ago so i cant tell any more examples but I'm sure there are some.

Some were actually horror stories and i like there are different reactions to a joke as well.

I came up with one myself, a bit of a long one.. Two Americans travel to the Zone to become stalkers. One of them ends up joining Duty, the other one joins Freedom, but one day they need to team up to complete a mission deep in the Zone and also need to bring a random East European stalker with them. On the way out they ran out of anti-radiation drugs, then their protective equipment goes out of service as well, so all they have to protect themselves from radiation is vodka. Eventually they realize which way to get out of the radiated field, but they only have so much vodka left that is only enough for two people, so one needs to be left behind. The Freedom stalker sais, "Man, we've been best buddies since we were kids, and I don't agree with Duty, but they do want to protect the world from the horrors of the zone, and your death would be a great loss for them," then he looks at the East European and sais, "And you.. we just met 2 days ago and we barely know each other." The Duty stalker speaks next, "Man, we've really been best buddies since we were kids, and I don't agree with Freedom, but they do want to find the value in the unknown wonders of the zone and share it with everyone, and your death would be a great loss for them," then he looks at the East European and sais, "And you.. we indeed just met 2 days ago and we barely know each other." Then the East European guy sais, "Gentelemen, I have a solution that would be great for all three of us. One of you is a proud Duty member, and it means that if you die, you'll be remembered as a brave protector of humanity. The other one of you is a proud Freedom member, and it means that if you die, you'll be remembered as a great anarchist hero. And me... I'm a proud East European, and it meast that I drink for two." To clearify: I grew up in Hungary, and appereantly with over 21% of our population being alcoholics they've just beaten Russia, but the rest of the ex-Soviet block are really not far behind. I think all the drunk jokes are well earned. I also originally wrote this joke in Hungarian with Biden, Zelenskyy, and Viktor Orbán of Hungary getting lost in the desert with not enough water and Orbán sais that he's a proud Hungarian who drinks for two.

Шутки про кровососов наверное только в зове припяти... ну будем ждать второй части значит

Some people do tell jokes monotonously, but someone do it with proper intonations and in-character. Here's a Russian meta-joke for you on this matter. A man ends up in prison. He quickly gets acquainted with his cellmates, and starts adapting to his new lifestyle. At one point, the convicts gather to tell jokes. One of them stands up and says: "21!" Everybody laughs. Then the other stands up and says: "47!" Eveybody laughs again. The man gets confused and asks the local boss, what's this about. The boss tells him: "You know, we've been telling all those jokes so many times, we've remembered and numbered every single one. So we simply name the number, and everybody understands." "So interesting," the man says. After everybody laughed once again at another numbered joke, the man himself says: "60!" But nothing happens. No one's laughing. The man gets obviously confused and asks the boss: "But why didn't they laugh?" And the boss says: "Eh, you just have to know how to tell jokes..."

Sad to see such happy men get mowed down. Or maybe even brutally murdered by mutants. The bandits laughing actually made me feel like they are happy. Theyre just doing stuff to make money for themselves or family. The zone is one heck of a place

Jokes that are kinda different on original: Loners: Jeep and controllers - there was not a "mess on the back seat", joke was about that controllers write (scratch) bad words on a jeep itself. Two Stalkers by the lake - there was no tail that shedding, there were scales (fish or lizard skin) that itches instead Young and veteran Stalkers - actually, everything is same except those 2 were from a "Dolg" Military: Scary Creature - instead of "Do you feel better" there was something like "And what's the point?"

Translating russian jokes is pretty much impossible, first - dialect, yes english has some dialects but far from what russian has, dialect is important because everyone talks differently: bandits talk like gopniks/unsavory british elements in bad parts of *bad* towns and use different words for pretty much everything - if you've studied proper russian for 5 years you won't understand what they say at all. Loners talk like normal people that don't even use slurs that much, etc. Lots of details lost, not because the translator is bad, but because it's just too much work or simply impossible to adapt to english. On the other hand translating things like 'break a leg' to russian is not a problem, cause you can literally come up with new words and most people will understand you, not that there are no instances where you can't adapt things, it happens just much rarer. Don't recommend to learn the language, it's too much bloody work :)

Well, I speak Ukrainian and that applies to Ukrainian as well. Also, because I haven't used this language very much for a few years my skills and even understanding has dropped a lot. Also, this language is similiar enough to Russian that I understand some things but not everything. Bandits are the hardest to understand

"gopnik" talk is not a dialect, it's easily understandable to any native russian edit: it's more like a slang

The biggest punchline is Freedom, which you already posted. But I'm grateful for this, too.

Nah, Freedom isn't just a punchline, they are a full joke.

i love how the military guy laughs, it’s so genuine

The invisible anomaly under the tree joke changes location and characters, depending where you are located in the game. The same story is repeated by different stalkers, with the details changed, like it is a well known local joke. for example at the Garbage they talk about sending a bandit under the tree. one my favourites is this one: (edit: the joke at 8:20 is also told in this way) A military officer interrogating a stalker: -Do you admit that while been drunk you tried to sneak out of the zone, in the area of the military checkpoint 12, carrying unregistered firearm and items forbidden for export out of the zone? Stalker is getting tired, he’s been interrogated like this for 3 hours so… -Yes I admit it. I was DRUNK. If I was sober I’d never try to pass so close to you bastards.

The one where the Stalker calls the controller "Doctor" really got me.

I can't wait for Monolith campfire jokes…

They had all lines of loners, including jokes, until CoP in CoP they got unique voice lines so obviously they joke no more, only beg for Monolith to return to them.

It's a pity there isn't neutral or even friendly encounters with some mutants. For example friendly, speaking izlom names "uncle" in the garbage. Player could've donate to him some food, smokes, vodka. In return it could said to a player a joke, warn of the danger in a specific area, wish a good hunting. Also one in four or five encounters with mutants could've be passive agressive, when Chimera with full stomach would just scared you off. That would be something.

The mutant shitting in the back seat of a car joke is so widespread that I don't think it's a joke but rather something that actually happened

I love how Duty has 2 jokes and after the second one the other guy is like "Please stop."

Keep in mind those are 2007-2009 jokes for game

game from 2007 taking place in 2006 created by people imagining how would life in such version fo the zone would be keep in mind that bobody gives a fuck about politics in games

Wow I started watching this channel 3 days ago and I thought: "man who knows how much time will pass until I finally know what are they saying in the jokes". Looks like only 3 days! Keep up the good work!

That joke bout the Mercenaries and Loner got such a snort out of me that I looked like I sneezed, snot all over my face.

The joke about the Black Stalker sounds more like a story about a Zombie than "just" a joke.

I'm not sure where he appeared first in the books or in the game (in this joke) but here's his folklore bio(google translate): Dima Shukhov, nicknamed Red, was one of the first stalkers. He was a desperate, courageous and lucky man. Red gathered around him a team of stalkers like him. Together they (albeit with heavy losses) reached the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. This is where the conflict between Shukhov and other members of the team occurred. In a rage, Red's former friends and partners "bricked" him at the base of the Sarcophagus. He died... but rose again. Resurrected already as the "Black Stalker" - the spirit of the Zone. He became a demon for some, an angel for others. He can severely punish anyone for violating the unwritten laws of the Zone, or he can save them by showing the lost an invisible trap or a safe route. They say that he even took some of them out for some of his own considerations on especially rare and valuable artifacts. For stalkers, he is a mystical, but at the same time a real personification of the Zone. But it is worth remembering that this is only a legend. The legend that in the dungeons of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant quietly tells the stalker where to go

2:01 The big Lebowski refrence

With all the jokes referencing cars, it's highly likely that these were all added in during the phase of development where they were still trying to put cars in the game.

I didn't know Wolf was such a good comedian.

This video is a godsend. With all the jokes about Controllers communicating with STALKERs just like that, it does make you wonder whether they were supposed to be something more than just aggressive, brainless monsters. By lore, they should have at least a human-like intellect and the ability to speak, as evidenced by the Zaton controller who even warns you to not trespass into his cave. With such an intellect comes the choice of giving in to base instincts after becoming twisted like that (remember, Controllers are former criminals - humans - that were experimented on in one of the X-Labs, likely the Brain Lab X-16) or to actively combat this through discipline. I wouldn't complain if there would be an actual Controller NPC in STALKER 2, maybe some kind of hermit. Same goes for Burers as well, as they were created by a similar procedure.

I don't know why people think Controllers are brainless. They are just portrayed as totally alien, totally unfathomable, with morality that has nothing in common with mere humans. But brainless? Absolutely not.

8:50 got me

0:29 This one actually made me laugh lmao

These jokes and stuff bring so much more life and intriugue to the zone, id never thought about controllers not trying to kill someone, and hearing how people just talk like buddies makes the Zone feel lived in, talks of cars and pubs feel so out of place but i guess in the games we only ever see a portion of the zone

Waiting for the part 2, the one with two newbies and a bloodsucker was my favourite

Появился значит в зоне чёрный сталкер...

Сидит около избушки старый кровосос. Тут из избушки выбегает маленький детёныш-кровососик и всё клянчит: "дед, а покажи сталкеров! Ну покажи сталкеров!" Старый кровосос поднялся, пошёл в дом. Выходит с двумя черепами, и начинает сценку разыгрывать, как в кукольном театре: "Степаныч, а тут точно нет кровососов?", "Петруха, ну какие здесь нахрен кровососы!.."

Thank you for keeping the music/ambient sounds. This game is all about the atmosphere and these lines wouldn't be the same without it.

The chill and generally relaxed atmosphere at camps was part of what made STALKER so good. Yes, the Zone is a place filled with killers, deadly mutants, reality breaking anomalies, and more. But every human needs a time and place to relax and unwind. It kept the whole place feel more grounded amidst all the chaos and gloom.

I Love your content . I hope all the best for you ^_^

2:02 "Where's the artifacts, Lebowski?"

Some of those are quite good, like the one with the rookie and the veteran. The common saying is that rooks don't listen to vets and get killed; so the punchline is the complete reverse. But by far, the best is the "murky water" one xd

Эх, господа, жаль, что вы не можете полностью этим насладиться!

This bandit is choosing the wrong place as their hidden out😂

2:01 the best joke 😂😂😂

"If I survive I'll have to ask my friend about what is this new mystery, scary thing; 'pub and girls'." This same stupid joke makes me absolutely lose it every time I hear it, it's not funny and it's told poorly but I just wheeze every single time.

2:25 made me laugh

The Mercenary dipping a Staler down a well and asking for Artifacts or Money was damn good.

Would be cool to actually have all the jokes, but that would require so much effort to translate them, there's like an hour of those across the series. Although there are duplicates told by different voice actors. Still, you non-russian/ukrainian speakers are missing out for now.

My 3 favorite in no specific order: -1 2:01 -2 0:29 -3 8:00

8:32 Вовремя он пить начал

I just realised that the Russian-dubbed version of the Metro Series rehired some of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s voice actors. I always play Metro series in Russian dub. I'm pretty surprised that I didn't realise that Khan and some of the Loners were voiced by Oleg Stalchuk.

I love these Stalker dialogs they are awesome for an AI, sometimes it reminds me of random conversations I have with my friends. Note it is clear that those on duty are very military with their jokes like the one about the two stalkers with the goldfish sounds like more of a fighting experience to me.

Great stuff! Subscribed!

ХАХАХАХАХАХ, НУ ТЫ ВЫДАЛ

Reminds me of that guy on the new Vegas' strip "Ghoul comes to a doctor and says "doc, I have a terrible wound, " doctor replies "Son, it's your face" Ooh la la!

Я наконец поняла несмешную шутку про контролера....сталкер типо предупредил его о наказании за вандализм, как контролер в автобусе

Woah lucky me! 3 minutes ago!!

These jokes are so much more fun when you understand them

Hey, the last joke was pretty good, it wrapped up the video nicely.

knowing some russian myself, i am able to enjoy the full experience of sitting by a campfire with other stalkers and hear them banter and joke. makes me feel like i belong btw, some of the words are not correctly translated. although translating russian to english can sometimes prove to be quite strange. its a matter of "do i translate the words directly or translate it by its context and meaning?"

For a whole decade i sat around fires, listen to those jokes and never understood a thing... Thank you!!! i learned more russian from this video then 10 hours on Duolingo Also the one about a stalker shouting and a monster asking him if he feels better cause the monster heard his calls was a really good one

YEEEES, FINALLY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

nice depth having jokes that fall flat and result in a sharp rebuke from the others
