Russia will turn anyone with eyes and ears into a natural comedian. It is so full of the absurd, of the ridiculous, of the unbelievable, that all you have to do is document what you see and hear and you will become deserving of an HBO comedy special.

Or a movie. Take a look at the trailer below. The creator of Everybody Loves Raymond was invited to Russia to help create a Russian version of the show (this is common practice, read an EXCELLENT essay about it here). What ensues is absolutely hilarious and, for Russia, absolutely normal.
