- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6 Whatever happened to Yakov Smirnoff. I never see him anymore. Has he passed away?
- Haohmaru, on 01/16/2008, -0/+5I see what you tried to do there.
- orchardo, on 01/16/2008, -1/+6Come to think of it, Dane Cook would be funnier in Russian.
- Halsfield, on 01/16/2008, -3/+7insert random ( i saw this 23 years ago and it wasnt funny then) comment.

- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -3/+6insert factual "doubleviking's staff wasn't born in 1995 let alone 1985" comment.
- sillywampa, on 01/16/2008, -1/+4Yakov Smirnoff was not a Soviet Dane Cook. Yakov was actually funny. And even if they were similar at all, Yakov was doing comedy when Dane was still in grade school. Dane Cook would then be the American Yakov Smirnoff.
- acevoncash, on 01/16/2008, -0/+3blackthorne is right. he has a theater and does shows year round in branson. in the summer people come up for a silver dollar city and catch him, and during the 'school year' as it were branson is a safe haven for retirees on vacation.
- loupanic, on 01/16/2008, -0/+3Reminds me of a great sketch from the Ben Stiller Show about Yakov's career after the fall of the Soviet Union.

so, yes he has passed away. - Snowblindz, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Wah wah wee wah
- Spoomeister, on 01/16/2008, -0/+2Dugg for the description alone.
And thank you for letting me put that no-talent hack Dane Cook in perspective. He will now forever be remembered by me as "The American Yakov Smirnov". - orchardo, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1I stand corrected, wampa.
- gootecks, on 01/16/2008, -1/+2Damn that ***** was funny, no joke! Just last month I went to see my Grandma for Christmas and she basically forced my parents and I to watch Yakov Smirnoff's hourlong standup DVD called As Long As We Both Shall Laugh. Anyways, at first I thought it was lame because it's like half comedy, half heartwarming anecdotes about his experiences as an immigrant, but by the end I was convinced that Yakov is indeed a genuinely funny and warm guy.
High five for a funny commercial starring a funny dude! - euping, on 01/17/2008, -0/+1In Communist Russia, Jokes tell you!
