The flip side is when Lisa Simpson asks a Russian man for directions to the bus and he politely answers her but she mistakes his gruff Slavic manner for hostility.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoThere are two Russian men playing chess. After frightening Lisa away ("My pleasure! It's six blocks that way!"), one checkmates the other, to which the response is upending the chessboard accompanied by the subtitle "Good game! How about another?". The joke isn't really Lisa mistaking a "gruff Slavic manner" for hostility, it's more the Slavic manner being actually hostile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyVMiE7jAJo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyVMiE7jAJo
