The Elderberries by Corey Pandolph and Phil Frank and Joe Troise for December 02, 2012
Transcript:
Miss Overdunne: Nnnnh!! The printer cartridge...it's out of ink! Call the fire department! The General: Then the Russkies attacked from here. Evelyn: Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Ludmilla! You say..."Who's there?" Ludmilla: In Russia we do not answer knock at door. Dearest Komrade parents, I am very much liking new job at Elderpark. Is place to live for old people. My capitalist-oppressor boss is nice person, but I am thinking job is too much for her. Favorite old person is the General, former ally of Soviet Union, now defunct. Residents are even teaching me to make American joke.

I liked the Yakov Smirnoff gag in an old gasoline commercial where the pitch line was “your car knows.” As he pulls away from the pump, he looks back out the window at the camera and says, “In Russia cars also know. But they can’t say!” He then pulls off with his trademark donkey laugh.
