Telling jokes with Russian accent

Hi!

So I'm trying to be funny on YouTube and I would love to hear your feedback.

At this moment I don't want to explain anything, so just tell me what you think and how you feel about this video:

I'm not easily offended so feel free to say anything that can help me improve.

Thank you

The accent is fine, pacing fine and the setting is good (who did you persaude to massage your shoulders whilst wearing a bra?)

But what's the point in retelling such an old joke?

I want to create a character that would be funny not only for what he say, but also how he look, speak etc.

I picked an old joke which more people like so more people can watch the video and tell me if the character "works" or maybe not.

Thank you Sootyj

Ps. The girl behind me is my girlfriend.

ok then the character works well, but its hard to tell.

I'd say you can use old jokes, but write them as the character would tell them?

You mean to change a joke a little bit so it fits more to the character?

yes absolutely, if the jokes that a dodgy oligarch is telling it, then the fact the jokes a cliche actually works in its favour

I've never thought about it before and this is really great idea!

Thank you very much

very averge, to much of this on you tube to ever make a real impact, sorry, loved the joke!
