Whenever I see mention of this song I immediately think of Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle.

Exactly. I actually heard this song in the grocery store the other day. I was singing along under my breath in frankenstein's monster's voice when I noticed the lady next to me staring. Too loud, I guess. At least I didn't dance too.

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You would have to bring together three disparate pieces of information in order for this to make sense. Even though it's a joke, IMHO it's really not that funny. Here are the pieces:

  1. A song titled "Puttin' on the Ritz"

  2. Ritz Crackers (do they sell these in The Netehrlands?)

  3. Vladimir Putin

The picture shows Vladimir Putin on a Ritz Cracker. Get it? Putin on the Ritz.

Voila! Not so funny.

[–]harry_nash 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Then I imagine this all seems pretty dumb to you. The song's not very good. The crackers are not very good. I can't speak for Vladimir Putin. The joke is mildly clever but not likely to elicit roaring guffaws.

Normally reposts aren't a huge deal. But reddit was ON FIRE about this months ago. There were all sorts of lame puns for like a week. Now, thanks to you, we're going to see them again.
