A friend of mine went to school with Ismo Leikola - he recalls how someone pointed out to Ismo that he is a natural comedian, making people laugh without even trying to be funny. This was in his teenage years... so yes, a natural comedian sounds about right.

That is just being a finnish person. We have this proverb that says: "Talk little, but talk spot on facts" and also "talk is silver, silnce is golden" so we are not used to talking much...in any language...

Ismo is hilarious! As someone who is part of a multicultural family, I understand how things get lost in translation, sometimes with hilarious results. I can't stand on it!

This guy always makes me cry with laughter.

He is so great! The way he delivers, wow! And the material is great!

Love this guy. Laughter is the best medicine.

omg brilliant delivery

Now I'm always going to think of ISMO at a traffic crosswalk lol

"Timing" in comedy is a rare thing and Ismo has it perfect!!

Even if Ismo's back story was that he was born in America and has known all of this stuff his entire life, this would still be hilarious. His delivery is just that good

Many genuine Finnish names sound so unusual. My mother is Terttu. Always assumed to be a man here in the States. Many Finnish names are sort of generically European sounding. An old man’s name never heard elsewhere is Väinö. My son is called Aarre (which means treasure)

So true 😂

His delivery is spot-on. His content is like common sense, and is pretty average in normal conversation, but he's funny to listen to. I found this out when I was trying to re-tell his joke--it wasn't funny. I can't even refer someone to his video after telling the joke. You basically have to watch him without any spoilers.

I hope he uses the 'ecological warfare' to english. For example an english company is producing tanks with a hybrid engines and less smoking grenades. Next will probably come nuclear weapons with a catalysator. It destroys the city, but the particulate matter emissions are way smaller. And soon you can ask enemies if they have any restrictions, because there is a non-gluten mustard gas if needed etc... It's funny as hell. :D

Was a little bumpy at the start but had me laughing at the end! Really funny dude.

I visited California and was dodging going across normal access roads. Little old lady walking calmly across the 4 lane boulevard, not giving a shit. Then again, maybe it's bc she's old and doesn't care anymore? Idk.
