      It has something to do with a Russian comedian named Yakov Smirnoff. I don't know what any of his original jokes were but it's like...

      In Soviet Russia the TV watches YOU... like it's bugged because of the nature of Communist government.

      I do remember one of his actual jokes... he was talking about how difficult it was to explain Watergate to Soviets. "A bunch of guys broke in and set up recording devices." To which he says, "So...? We call it room service." Anyway, I thought he was funny. Too much information.
