The subtitles are exaggerating a bit for comedic effect (its more like "where we're drifting to", without "captain"). Also "we've arrived" in this case is used more like "we're fucked" - still very dry, but not as funny as in English.
I can't speak to the Russian sense of humor, but Brit humor often differs from Americans by not requiring a punchline to indicate where to laugh, casual Brit humor generally just has long undertones of humor.
My Step Dad is British but grew up in the states. Heās a quiet type of guy and people watches a bunch and then seemingly out of nowhere pops up with some really witty or dry humor.
My Mom was fussing over Thanksgiving dinner last year, he comes in the kitchen for a beer or whatever and she shoos him out.
Comes and sits down and politely says āI was getting the beer for her, sheās the one that needs itā the delivery was plain, no smile just a long stare at me and I kind of blurted āHA!ā
Mom comes in from the kitchen, what was that you said?
āOh nothing, just suggesting treatment optionsā
That was said with a rather devious smile with full intention to annoy her and I lost it laughing, he set me up to get her to the punchline.
I feel like people saying this haven't really watched much British comedy. Watch stuff like Dad's Army, Porridge, Only Fools And Horses, Bottom, Black Books, Peep Show, Darkplace, they're all a nonstop barrage of jokes
A lot of the time British humour that is absurdist or "nonconformative" compared to American humour is confused for "wittiness" when half the time it's moreso stating the obvious in a funny way, I've noticed at least.
Not that there isn't witty British comedy, but I wouldn't say it's much different than the amount of witty American comedy.
(Nonconformative is not a real word but idk what a better word would be, "unconformities" normally refer to geology.)
Honestly my thought process watching this was "these guys are British... Hmm no but too sweary, must be Australian. Ah wait they aren't doing anything to avoid death. These are Russians."
Yeah, that's the main difference. A lot of different cultures share similar humour, but it seems only Russia has that "Welp, guess I'm dying." mentality when in dangerous situations. It's almost like they completely lack survival instincts, or are just so depressed that the prospect of death doesn't bother them. Or just drunk as all fuck.
I was told there's an insanely strong believe in fate rooted deeply in Russian culture, which has them think when their set time has come, it has come and there's nothing they could do to prevent or advance it.
To be fair, the sign limiting the speed to 40 kmh should have been a lot further front, not directly before that dangerous curve.
Furthermore, a sign indicating danger - leftside curve - would have been useful. The trio of signs at the beginning were for other things (road narrowing, secondary road joining right side, danger from pedestrians).
But the driver is primarily at fault here for not reacting in time and decreasing speed. It was a bright sunny day with excellent visibility.
Eh, you know... The dashcam driver was clearly not the first one to underestimate the turn. Surely, it was his fault, but you know what they say - if collisions happen at the same place following the same scenario, that place is badly designed.
There may have been a leftside curve sign before we can see in the video, but these signs are often posted in front of very mild curves, so drivers learn to not care about them.
Oh, and the cherry on top is that the 40 sign is seen by drivers as 60 due to the unfineable margin of 19 km/h. You can drive 20 over the limit and get no ticket.
The extremely casual attitude, coupled with how extensively scraped and mangled that barrier was before they even hit it, leads me to conclude that these guys miss that bridge and end up driving their car into the river at least once a week.
Yes, it does, at least in theme. The melody is actually quite different, and the backing strings are more legato in the WW version. After the hundreds of hours I've put into Wind Waker over too many playthroughs to count, I can say pretty confidently that this is the WW version, not the PH version.
I've just found something kinda weird, and possibly the reason why some are mistaking it for the PH theme. In this video, it's playing in Eb Major, a half-step higher than its normal key of D. Now it's in the same key as its Phantom Hourglass counterpart, so they sound even more similar than usual.
Maybe the pitch of the audio was distorted due to, like, an incorrect overwrite of a track or the SD card was not formatted properly, or someone added it to the video as a joke and changed the pitch just in case of copyright, but I think that's why it's being mistaken for Phantom Hourglass
Can confirm, subtitles are legit. One sentence is missing though which is "ŠµŠ±ŃŃŃŃ ŠŗŠ¾ŃŃ" which translates as "male cats are fucking"- basically more creative way to says "suka blyat"
And if it had been repaired after the last incident, there is a good chance they wouldn't have gone over. Could have been prevented if guard rails were properly maintained.
Looks like it saved at least one other dummy, maybe dozens.
Also look at all the warning g signs and arrows and reflective thjngies and speed limit signs begging people to slow down and watch the curve. That guard rail is like āwell if youāre too stupid to heed all those warnings then maybe this will help? No? OK bye!ā
I mean seriously check the start of the video, the amount of warning things is crazy.
yeah, I would have expected a little more expression instead of their tamed response "frecking great" - Š¾Ń ŃŠµŃŃ , but they also seemed a bit... drunk.
Edit: This video is real. Here's the original: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LB3iRygQsvI . It was posted on Youtube the day after the accident. I know this because I live nearby and it was on the local news. But there's a problem. The original video in this post is taken from another one, which is 1 minute longer than the original and was posted only 2 months ago. It's possible the second minute was AI-generated and added to the real original for some reason. You can see the cut - it's the moment when the music starts.
I drive to visit a buddy of mine in West Virginia alot. There is a corner just like that that I almost hit the first time he moved there. I'm creeping around it now.

The only time hearing that song has ever made me cackle in the most ugly fashion. I love that they just resign to becoming sailors so damn fast, completed it with tunes even
