okay ivan don't make me post captain pronin having american criminals refer to tuxedo jackets as "smokings".
people from different countries have different languages you globohomosexual commie stooge don't get so asshurt and maybe you can make a cartoon about an american man named John Hamburger
again how is this an american thing to not understand other cultures? and besides, who said they "think" it, it could just be a little joke or just a fun silly character name
John Hamburger is a funny stick and based on a stereotype about americans.
There is literal no thematic funny reasons to be surnamed "Babushka" unless you're an old woman character, and the character in question has no plays or funny jokes based on old women.
If it was something like Asterix where your name it's about your profession or personality could be alright, but Gus is a construction worker. I think they simply took the first word that sounded russian that was not vodka.
Babushka is a fun word to say and a word that's known to be Russia in origin, that's it. You're wayyyyy overthinking it. It's like when non-Americans call and American "Yankee Doodle", the context doesn't matter, it's fun to say "Yankee Doodle" and a clearly American term.
Most Americans know what that word means, moron. We think it sounds funny, and yes, it is being used here to mock your culture. You can mock us too, if you want. We won't give two shits, unlike the rest of the world, apparently.
America is unique in that its long-standing tradition of legal government bashing and society bashing, combined with it being made fun of as a backwater shithole since its inception, has created a culture that not only constantly mocks itself but also is used to being mocked by outsiders. You can call Americans fat stupid drooling morons and they just laugh and go "Ha ha, yeah we really are!" I'm Australian and I feel like we're the only other country that takes insults as well as they do, even the English sperg the frick out if you attack them.

There is also the lengthy tradition of Europeans coming over to America and loudly insulting and complaining about just each and every single thing they see around them to anyone nearby. To the point where I now think it is physically impossible for any German person to take ten steps outside in any US city and not verbally b***h and moan about how they do not like everything that is near them and inform any and every American they can on what they see is bad and the German version of that thing is better.
The reason for the word "Babushka" being used is because it's a Russian word that english speakers recognize, but most don't actually know what it means. And if they do know what it means then they "get the joke", that joke being that his surname is Grandmother which is absurd.

If a japanese guy wrote an american character named Alex Grandmother you'd all think it was the coolest shit ever. The guy that writes jojo used to name characters after music. There's a guy named fricking Vanilla Ice and his black hole of a stand is named Cream and the story takes him 100% seriously. And lets not forget the cartoonish foreign caricatures of Punch Out like Don Flamenco, and Soda Popinski, and literally no one who plays those games have a problem with how their named. It's apart of the charm!
There is literally nothing wrong with calling a russian characrer Vladimir Babushka.
And who's fault is that? Really?
You guys set up an iron curtain and turtled up for little over half a century. You guys refused to trade with any nation that did not perfectly match your political idealisms.
How in the frick is it Americans faults for not knowing shit about Russians when the Russians made it illegal to move out of Russia, or communicate with anyone not inside their little empire?
This reminds me when japan movies set in germany want to name german characters after a place for being funny, and german places usually ends in -berg, so accidentally they make israeli sounding character names.
I do agree that a last name meaning grandmother should come with a joke of some sort like him being a grandmomma's boy or something.
But I also agree OP is throwing an useless tantrum over it.
I'm in a weird centrist position.
Canadians should stop getting stereotyped as nice guys, they're pretty much idiots that wants you to kys so they don't have to keep you in the hospital
True. Imagine if Snidely Whiplash ran his own hospital: at least he’ll be the one doing the mercy killings by tying people to railroad tracks or buzzsaw-bound logs instead of politely telling you to have a nice day like Nell (she’s a real sneaky b***h when you sit down and think about it).
ok? so what? wheres the issue? his russian and his name is russian word that isntly commonly used as a last name? whatever, whats american about this
Americans thinking that a word used for grandmothers could be a surname.
It's like being called Alex Grandmother when you're a man.

dude is just fun
is just a fun name
is this from the penguins of madagascar cartoon? idk the character i dont think i ever watched that episode but i recognize the background
Yes it is, the episode is Work Order
The joke here is you for getting so tight-assed about it
if they named him vodka drunkenski you guys would ape out about deploying top secret deep sea nukes to flood the british coastline again
Its Piankov.

It's really either that or take an English word and place -inski at the end of it.
>John Hamburger
This is great, OP is a homosexual
Someone sounds absolutely mindbroken!

Nah, OP is just too crazy about this joke.
The reason for the word "Babushka" being used is because it's a Russian word that english speakers recognize, but most don't actually know what it means. And if they do know what it means then they "get the joke", that joke being that his surname is Grandmother which is absurd.
Bet they meant the headscraf russian grannies wear that also gets called a babooshka
Even Homer Simpson refers to a headscarf as a "babababooshka", so it's quite possible.
Burger is a semi common last name in the US. Not really a great argument here.
Kek. Idk, I think OP is a cool guy just for making fun of mutts and making that post. Good thread OP.
They hated him for speaking the truth
If you say he is right now you will have to say making fun of other races is bad then
Holy butthurt. Also
>Tripgay
>American
Pick a struggle
again how is this an american thing to not understand other cultures? and besides, who said they "think" it, it could just be a little joke or just a fun silly character name
>Alex Grandmother
That's fricking funny.

Hey there, John Cheeseburger the American
Name 5?
Bet Op isn't even Russian, they'd find it funny
How much do you want to bet though?
Is it any different from any Italian, Chinese, or Mexican that is named after some food?
>Linguini
>It's French
he's the one guy in the movie that isn't a rat that doesn't have a french accent, I'm pretty sure Alfredo Linguini is meant to be a immigrant.
Italian guy, working for a Tunisian, in Paris, with British food critics giving them bad reviews.
>Now it's garbage!
>You guys don't understand Russia!!
And who's fault is that? Really?

I can definitely see the humor in that.
Uncle Grandma
That's the joke. It's not great but it's funny nonetheless.
Please no.
>Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket
>is actually a man
>German character
>It's just Schwarzenegger
Or a nazi, it's really a two only choices
you forgot option 3: sexual degenerate
Option 4: Werner Herzog
Option 4 would be Uter Zorker kind of characters, the bavarians clothed fat men with strong moustaches.

Do you feel a need to grill?
I walked into that one but yes
I'll bring the burgers and beer.
I take the moon and I take the sun.
This entire series was nothing but one giant middle finger to Canada and I’m all for it.
The ride was pretty good too.

the euthanasia thing really broke Cinemaphile

Kino trope
>Surname is Babushka that means grandmother
Nobody does this.
This thread is interesting, here's a bumb
>Italian character, speaks in naples accent and the italian city is medieval
Give me the Americans special!
What's the problem? Seems to be in the same vain as Muller, Fischer, Schmidt, Michel, Eisenhauer etc.
>itt easily offended Americans get easily offended
This is about russians, the americans are loving the Hamburger last name
Ok, Tony Ravioli.
We just don't care about irrelevant countries.
