Windows95man Is No Joke
Рет қаралды 50,383
2 ай бұрынThere comes a time in a man's life when he can no longer deny his nature, and I'm a man who is easily baited by silly songs. Do you have a complex and challenging piece of musical art? I'll get to it if I have time. Do you have a song where a man runs around bottomless until the stage manager forces him to put on a pair of jean cutoffs? I'm going to use vacation days to research it with the intensity of Jake Gyllenhaal hunting the Zodiac killer. You know that meme where Elmo goes face first into the pile of cocaine? That was me, with this song. That's who I am. And if I'm not alright, tell me why do I feel so beautiful tonight? - MB

That kind of depends. We have people who are indeed happy such as myself, and some game company millionaires who recognize the role of the society for their wealth. I'm happy to pay almost 15k in taxes because this welfare state still pays my kiddo's meds that are also almost 15k per annum. But I would be happy to pay if she didn't have juvenile rheumatoroid arthiritis. That's kind of the societal contract around here. I pay high-ish taxes, and I get to enjoy a publicly build frisbee golf parks, libraries, health care (and also that for my loved ones!) and fairly good public transit. To name just a few.

If you guys pay 24% tax which doesn't even include your health insurance, then let me tell you, you're getting a bad deal.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was Swedish comedian/singer Mats Söderlund aka Günther - Ding Dong Song (You touch my tralala) (2004). It was EXTREMELY popular as a proto-meme song. He was incredibly well known to people around the same age as Teemu and I, to the point that Günther was invited to play at Yale. I'm completely serious. Günther & The Sunshine Girls also entered Melodifestivalen in 2006. Tapping into millennial nostalgia for 2000s nostalgia of the 1990s was a really clever way to go for the character.

@@zzpazi That sort of "total tax rate" only applies to people who spend 100% of their money on specific products and services with the specific tax rates. Depending on how you fenagle them, you could claim pretty much any percentage accurate and give a truthful example that supports it. A median Finn pays about 22% taxes, and if they spend 100% of what is left every month to products with 24% VAT (the standard, non-reduced rate for products - no investing and the like that have reduced/taxfree rates), they pay just barely over 40% of their income to taxes. Property taxes and such, if they have any, would bring it up a bit more, depending on the value of the property.
@Aquelll Ай бұрын
The 43% tax rate is actually not right. The Highest tax rate right now is indeed 44%, but you only pay that for the part of your income that is over 150 000 euros, which is not true for most people. The less you earn, the smaller your total tax rate is. I, for example earn about 45 000 euros a year and my tax rate 19% with all deductions included. And the median total income tax rate is indeed 19,97%. That highest tax bracket rate is often used as a propaganda tool by the Republicans in the US to make it look like we have to pay huge taxes, because it fits their narrative.

There's also plenty of confusion about what *marginal tax* means, or how tax brackets work. Like, if you are in the tax bracket with marginal tax of 44%, people think the tax you pay is 44%, while in actuality you'd only pay that 44% out of the income that you would earn *_beyond_* your income, which obviously isn't even possible. You're actually paying more like 23%, and that's before any possible deductions. EDIT: correction, I was looking at old info. The bracket of 44% starts now at €150 000 (which is a lot higher than it was), so if you just about get there, your actual tax is around 33%, not 23%.

But her live performance left a lot of people wanting and it actually seemed a bit too much like Loreen. In comparison, Windows95man surprised with an entertaining life performance and Henri had pretty good vocals. So people voted for Windowa95man. But I don't think we saw this coming really or consciously decided to send a performance similar to Käärijä.

How could a guy's passionate art and love for music be a joke..? He couldn't wear some clearly definable undies, because they aren't part of his outfit. So in his origin story stage show he's not really nude, but rather shown without his shorts. You didn't find action packed denim in Chuck Norris' and Jean-Claude Van Damme's films..? From Finnish films 'Pahat pojat' comes to mind: "PAHAT POJAT Official trailer Solar Films". Speaking of stage looks, how about this guy's look?: "2. Maanantai - Mixet tahdo olla mun kaa". What's said in the song is: "Why don't you want to be with me, even though i love your Levi's jeans?". Käärijä's 'Cha Cha Cha' is basically a revisit to Fredi's 'Pump Pump': "Finland - Eurovision 1976 - Fredi & The Friends - Pump-Pump". And of course there's Finnish horror movies. Many many horror movies. A few at least: "SKELETON CREW - Movie Trailer".

"Cultural appropriation" is something we've been doing for millenia in Europe... the Greeks keep telling everyone that ancient Romans stole their culture, modified it and then spread to the rest of Europe... which is more or less accurate. Then again after the Renaissance all Europeans studied ancient Latin and Greek and the built their monuments in a "Neoclassic" style. Nobody has ever batted an eyelid: why should we start feeling ashamed about it now? Plus all Mediterranean peoples have been sharing the same little sea for so long... we all feel like cousins. Sorry if this sounds weird to Americans... but it is pretty normal to a lot of us.

"Cultural appropriation" is a very woke concept in itself, anyway.

It's one of these well- intended ideas that don't really grasp how living next to each other works.

'Start me up' was interesting choice for advertising Windows 95 as they sing *You make a grown man cry.' I don't remember 95 being so bad.

Like most old technology, 95 was amazing at the time and unbelievably primitive by today’s standards.

finland having a tax rate of 43% is not true. Tax rate is progressive, the more you earn the more you pay in taxes. Mine for example is 20-25% depending on the year.

Same, I earn little more than the average and my tax rate is 23%. I also am very grateful as a special needs child’s mother that all her care, hospital visits, therapy, special school and medication have cost us less that 500€ during all these years.

It is important to note, that Windows 95 Man had two quite notable predecessors, Markku from Finland, a character created by web comedy group Ruttoryhmä and Stig Dogg, nowadays just Stig(his real name is Pasi Siitonen), who is a really popular artist. Both characters share the moustache, the glasses and the awkward aura with Windows 95 Man. All three are distinctly separate characters, but I'd say that Teemu Keisteri definitely was influenced by Stig and Markku from Finland when creating the Windows 95 Man alter ego.

Love all the europeans triggered by him saying cultural appropriation. Yall do it too but dont like getting called out because you think you just can. And you can..... until youre appropriating cultures that have less power or are cultures that your continent has destroyed with colonialism. In terms of windows95man, i came in hating the song, and now i hate it but understand why at least some like it so thanks!

For anyone confused about the finnish "love" for taxes: I have a very average finnish salary and my tax rate is 20%. 43% is if you have a pretty high salary and at that point you can afford to pay more. Kids lower your tax rate btw, and so do any mortgages you have. For that we get a free education system that is some of the best in the world, super affordable daycare (the most anyone ever pays is around 350€/month), affordable GOOD health care, a social safety net, and even roads that sometimes aren't completely ruined. Having a healthy and educated population is good for everyone because it makes a safer society. Simplified: I pay for the neighbor's kid's healthcare and schooling to keep my neighborhood safe for my family because the neighbor doesn't have to cRiMe AbOuT just to survive. Seems like a good trade. 🤷♂️
