The Russian mob is dealing guns and illegal explosives, and the ATF is asleep at the wheel! It’s up to Lieutenant Spoony and his hardy crew of SWAT comrades to break some Eastern Promises and some Russkie skulls!

where the hell did you get that song???
You can find it on youtube. Takes me back to my early childhood when it was in the German top 10. Yup, this is a German song…damn Spoony where did you dig that out of? :)
The Song is Moskau by Dschingis Khan. It’s actually gotten a resurgence of popularity on the chan image boards and IRC channels. You can find tons of videos on youtube. I think it was released in the 70’s. The band was known for just random songs based on REALLY stereotypical looks at different cultures. Stuff Like “Samurai” and other random stuff.
Brilliant video as always Spoony. For a little bit of fun, I’ll let everyone know what the red Cyrillic sentences actually translate to.
Spoony’s Translation: JEW CRIMINALS ARE GOOD AT SHOOT
Actual Translation: Russian criminals good shootings
I… honestly don’t know what you were going for here. But I found the disparity funny.
Spoony’s Translation: NOT TO BE STANDING IN WAY OF COMRADES MAKING ENTRANCE
Actual Translation: No standing in way of “kamradov”
Really, that last word confused me, it doesn’t really mean anything. Obviously, I’m not expecting Spoony to get Russian vocabulary right, but for future reference the actual Russian for “comrade” is товарищ, “tovareesh”
Spoony’s Translation: NO WEEPING TIME FOR COMRADES! BE WATCHING UP!
Actual Translation: Do not mourn over your friends! Look upwards!
Somehow I love that the actual translation has perfect structure and grammar here. Good on you Spoony, or (more likely) your free online translator.
Spoony’s Translation: BEWARE OF JEWS MAKING SNEAK
Actual Translation: Look outside of for hiding Jewries
This one may be my favorite.
Spoony’s Translation: AIM BETTER FOR MUCH VICTORY!
Actual Translation: Goods and prize of the purpose!
No, this is without a doubt my favorite. “AIM BETTER FOR MUCH VICTORY!” got a T-shirt, why not “GOODS AND PRIZE OF THE PURPOSE!”? Think about it.
Spoony’s Translation: INDIVIDUAL IS WEAK. TRUST IN COMRADES AND GLORIOUS SOCIALIST UNION!
Actual Translation: Individuals are weak. Entrust your friends and glorious Mother Russia!
It’s the subtle differences that give me a chuckle.
Spoony’s Translation: HERE IS GOOD POLICE
Actual Translation: Here the good policeman.
The grammar is still wrong, just not in the way you represented it. You lie, Spoony One!
Spoony’s Translation: IN RUSSIA WE NO HAVE MAGIC WAND
Actual Translation: We have no this stick in Russia.
Admit it, that got a chuckle out of you.
Spoony’s Translation: IS HIDING JEW?
Actual Translation: It hiding Jewry?
Yes, it hiding much Jewryness!
Spoony’s Translation: ORDINARILY WOULD USE FLAMETHROWER, BUT MIGHT BE POLICE IN DISGUISE AS JEW.
Actual Translation: Usually you would use a flame thrower, but it could be the policeman.
Gotta love the Stereotypical Poor Grammar Filter.
Spoony’s Translation: IS POLICE! BUT WE ARREST FOR BAD SWEATER.
Actual Translation: He/she/it is the policeman! But we shall arrest it for its awful sweater.
This is actually a really hard one to translate, because “это” essentially means “it” and as such typically is not used in relation to people. It is sometimes used when the gender of the person in question is uncertain, and in that case can be best translated as he/she. I went with the above translation, and I love it. On a side note, sweaters like that should be perfectly arrestable offenses.
Spoony’s Translation: NOW WE DRINK.
Actual Translation: Now we drink.
I tip my hat to you sir.
no pyccku! no pyccku! (in russia) (In russia) (I was going to spell out no pyccku *Yazeek*, but english keyboards lack backwards “R”s.) Bill gates eto cyka
“Don’t shoot!”
*BANG*
“Suspect is compliant”
That was kinda fucked up 0_o
@ Saiser: your translation is not always correct. For example, when it says “HERE IS GOOD POLICE”, the Russian words actually translate to “Here is a good policeman” or “At this place is a good policeman” and the grammar is actually completely right.
Also, when it says “IS POLICE! BUT WE ARREST FOR BAD SWEATER”, well… of course, in Russian you can use “это” in relation to people. For example, if you would say “Это Арнолд Шварценеггер”, it would be perfectly fine; it would translate to “This is Arnold Schwarzenegger”.
And now, we drink! За Ваше здоровье! XD
@white rotten rabbit
Checking back over my attempts, I can see you’re quite right. Well, the first one was actually a typo (since I first went through mechanically clunking down my translation of each of Spoony’s sentences, and only later added my little comments) which I didn’t notice when I was adding my comments, I assumed it was a grammatical error I’d noticed in the translation (the frigging translation process took more than half an hour, was a serious pain in the ass trying to freeze-frame the second before Spoony’s joke translation popped up).
But in regards to “это”, yeah, I screwed that one up big time. I broke it down in my head to “It is the policeman”, which seemed absurd, never figuring that it does (thinking in English) make perfect sense to say in similar context “It’s the policeman!”. So, yes, I made a pretty obvious mistake with applying “это” to people I am currently facepalming over. I lived in Moscow for several years, but that was quite awhile ago, I clearly don’t know Russian as well as I used to (though I still like to think I’m technically fluent). Hope any actual Russians on this site won’t hold it against me for making such an obvious idiot mistake.
посмотрите вне для пряуа еврейств!
Best line ever.
Im amazed you didn’t make a gassing the jew comment.
You pepper sprayed Chester!
Bum: Монеты? Вы Получили Монеты? О продвиньтесь, выручьте парня, будет ya? МОНЕТЫ! я не делал ничего!

Great video spoony, Buteehhhh…. You do know that Borat was from Kazachstan, Nico Belic was supposed to be Serbian and the song at the end was in German right?
Why this song at the end????
I HATE SCHLAGER.
I have the missfortune of living in the countra that produces this stuff and calles it music.
I'd rather hear David Hasselhoff sing in german. Then again that's schlager too so FUCK NOOOOOOOO. xD
I loved the Borat-ified training video sequence. I came, I saw, I LOL'd.
BTW, what the hell is up with the squad members' body armor? I mean, I know flak vests aren't great at stopping close-range rounds, but the NPCs dropped after getting hit with one bullet! What, are their vests made of tissue paper?
This song gets stuck in my head…. and I've no idea what's being said throughout most of it XD
oh well
nice graffiti
i know its from 2009 but you could increase your accuracy by walking instead of running and then using lean (i think you mention that in the next one)
what song at end?
any one here know whatt song it is called some people here might want to know
whats with the jews comment
Love the endings
Kinda late, but what Sean Connery movie was he not going to talk about?
Highlander 2 the Quickening
you've never seen Borat have you?
Knowing Spoony, he probably knew, but didn't care :p
i thought we werent talking about it?
i thought we werent talking about it?
