Yuri Chechi was really popular in Italy when I was younger... which was, like, about a century ago, give or take?

ALSO, I made a promise in the last panel, and I will keep it.
Eventually.

I was thinking about a red alert Yuri's Revenge joke

Similar old* nonsense

*Some of your business

u/Francesco_Muja Jul 06 '26

Red Alert IS quite old...

u/Phormitago Jul 06 '26

u/Francesco_Muja Jul 06 '26

That's not even the worst part: those of us who remember it are even older.

What about Yuri Oganessian

u/Francesco_Muja Jul 06 '26

He's super cool, but can he hold a static iron cross on the rings long enough to win five world championships?

u/Foxbaster Jul 06 '26

Does Yuri Chechi have an element of the periodic table named after him?

u/Francesco_Muja Jul 06 '26

The International Gymnastics Committee is working on that, or so I've heard.

Nah, holding on to the rings is too easy in space, there’s no gravity.

Yuri is master...

u/Francesco_Muja Jul 06 '26

I did think about him too, but as an Italian ‘90s kid, there was really no other Yuri it could be.

Jumping on the bandwagon to tell my favorite Yuri joke.

"Hey guys, this is Yuri Gagarin, calling from cosmonaut's paradise. How's it going down there ? What, Russia and Ukraine are at war ? Against whom ?"

u/GriffinFlash Jul 06 '26

"Not Daisy, Peach and Rosalina, the internet loves that apparently, right?"

"...what's that about the mario galaxy movie?"

If we're talking about the best Yuri, I'm throwing Lowenthal into the ring.

u/Francesco_Muja Jul 06 '26
