well you didn’t suck, just Markku’s english sucked.

Markku’s english was just perfect for his character :p

That was kinda weird and… awkward

good one

So bad it’s easily good I wonder, with all the complaining about ‘Markku’s’ English, how is it off-character?

Is this Markku supposed to be some kind of finnish Borat?

Phil is becoming a tv superstar. First I believe his hand was shown and/or voice heard in Conan’s Finland special, and now this!

Yeah, exactly!

Yeah, it was a little awkward. But still funny.

I liked Markku’s Vappu special. Markku asking that guy in the chair if the kids were drunk yet and his reply was “Not yet.” I was rolling.

Bravo! Some technical difficulties, but otherwise good. Hard to understand a few of those questions

Why wasn’t this in Finnish ? Phil speaks Finnish also.

Or did Finnish come later. Stopped half way through due to finding the character about as funny as Tarja.

Phil, why do you want to go back to the US? Look how much fun you get to have in Finland

Hahahaha, this is amazing. I love the live feed at the bottom too.

I liked watching Markku’s see through paper.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been interviewed *in-depth* by a Finnish interviewer about your perspectives on the country?

@6 Phils been in tv properly interviewed about his radio podcast, so this is the third time over.

Hehe, yeah first my blog appeared on CNN for like 3 seconds, then I was shown in the press room when Conan arrived for like 1 second, then on FST, now on a morning chat show. Next my goal is to get in one of the evening trash newspapers like Hymy.

Heh no, they tend to interview older British men for that stuff. I only get talked to for joke stuff like Conan and Markku.

Here’s the vappu special: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akry_BV2euA

Oh boy, you’re on your way to become the next Roman Schaltz

wow, that was pretty awkward.

Priceless Glad you got it Phil

#1: Markku talks better Nokia-inklis (you know, Nokia is a city in Finland) than the rest of you berry pickers together.

Finnish word of the day: “myötähäpeä”, look it up Phil.

Its better than membered
good one phil

In kekkoslovakia, Phil would be a household name already and Markku would have been taken seriously.

Hey Phil! That wasn’t bad at all! I’d just pass out or start giggling uncontrollably. I think you did well!

LMAO

Kinda like Borat, only a bit more uncomfortable.

I think Markku’s English should be more consistent. The guy is constantly slipping off the correct tankero pronounciation and uttering far too many un-Finnish sounds!

Occasionally he lets a genuine English idiom slip through instead of relying on Finnish ones as turned from word to word as he should. Markku, get your act together!

Hehe, that was good. Phil did good also, thumbs up!

Why on earth they need to stick Markku on TV? As if the Finnish men don’t already have nerdy enough look and reputation. When I visit central Europe I know exactly who are the Finnish men by their looks, and as I approach them I can hear them mumbling in Finnish.

All we need is that Markku gets drunk on TV and that’s it. He was funny the first time I saw his video but to put him on TV? I wouldn’t proudly show this show to any foreigner. Why is it so hard for Finnish people to make good comedy?

What comes to Phil on TV… I can hear & see you had hard time holding that laughter. I think that was the best comedy. Great job Phil!

30.–>

So go “glose the TV” if is not to to your likings.

Why is it so hard for Finnish people to make good comedy?

Cause it’s written by Brits like Neil Hardwick. LOL!!!!

Lol.. Phil was pretty awkward there. Markku owned you!
