In Soviet Russia, Russian Reversal Describes You. The Russian Reversal, more technically called an antimetabole, is a type of joke popularized by Ukrainian comedian Yakov Smirnoff. It is based on taking a statement about capitalist United States and inverting it to describe the then-communist Russia as a dystopian hellhole. Smirnoff later added the prefix "Soviet" to indicate the jokes were meant to target the past regime, as opposed to The New Russia. For instance: The political undertone of Smirnoff's original jokes tends to be conspicuously missing from the imitations, leaving the joke as just "it's funny when things are opposite". At its most basic, the Russian Reversal takes a situation where a noun normally does something to another noun, and flips it in dialogue to where the second noun acts on the first. For instance, a murder mystery that had a butler as the Body of the Week could be described in a Quip to Black as "It Did the Butler" or the equivalent instead of "The Butler Did It." This trope may also have a linguistic basis, as Russian uses Object-Verb-Subject word order for unusual situations. Can cause an Inverted Trope rather easily, if the starting trope can be described as "X verbs Y." If in this instance, "Y verbs X," it is both this trope and an inversion of the other trope. It's also the source of many trope names: |

In the bulk of the Fire Emblem series, the player as a Lord goes around hiring troops by persuading them to join him. In Three Houses, the player as a mercenary is approached by no less than three Lords (well, two Lords and a Lady) from three different factions, all of them trying to hire them. That's right, in God-blessed Fódlan, Lords Hire You! | |

The Simpsons: In "The Old Man And The Key", there's a revue of stars of The '80s in a song "Ode To Branson". There is the line "So sit back, relax, and watch our revue," and Yakov slides in and says with a homophone pun, "In Soviet Union, revue watches you!" This probably had a hand in revitalizing the meme for the Internet crowd. After Grandpa causes his mischief on stage, Smirnoff subverts this trope by commenting "In Russia, stage is for performers only." "Sorry, Lis - I no longer control the hand. The hand controls me!" In "Step Brother From The Same Planet", Lisa says “I tried to throw throw a party, but the party threw me.� |

A few Chuck Norris Facts are like this. When Chuck Norris goes swimming, he doesn't get wet. Water gets Chuck Norris. My dog house has a sign on it saying "Beware of Chuck". Physics is bound by the laws of Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris doesn't want to be cool. Cool wants to be Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris doesn't get sunburned. The sun gets Chuck Norris-burned. One of them references and inverts the trope with "In Soviet Russia, Chuck Norris still kicks your ass". Chuck Norris was bitten by a werewolf. When the full moon came, the werewolf turned into Chuck Norris. You can't spell Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris spells you. Chuck Norris doesn't get a COVID shot. COVID gets a Chuck Norris shot. |

King of the Hill: "The Bluegrass Is Always Greener" guest stars Smirnoff and shows him buying one of these jokes from Bobby, despite the comedian's protestations that he has abandoned this type of material in favor of relationship humor. But give Bobby credit, at least he plays with the trope. "In America, you put 'In God We Trust' on the money. In Russia, we have no money!" Yakov pays for the joke and says keep 'em coming. In "Tankin' It To The Street", Kahn shows off his new gigantic SUV, but it's so big it won't fit in his garage. "SerPunt", has a broader example when Hank and Dale need to catch a runaway snake: |

Discworld In The Truth, the beggars are discussing a plan to rescue some dogs that have been thrown over a bridge by Pin and Tulip, and one of them says he used to mess about in boats. Another, being realistic about the consistency of the river Ankh, replies that they would actually "boat about in mess." In A Hat Full of Sky, Hiver!Tiffany tells her broomstick "I am not going to learn you, you are going to learn me", then says that or else, the next lesson would involve an axe. Its days of aerial acrobatics were over after that. |

Dream: In the 3 Hunters Grand Finale explanation video, BadBoyHalo stated that when the Hunters set up the End spawn trap, he was expecting to get a video clip of the Hunters destroying Dream... which would've happened if Dream didn't blow up the place with the TNT first; Dream got a video clip in the main video of him destroying the team of hunters. In short, instead of the Hunters destroying Dream (and recording it), Dream destroys the Hunters (while recording it). | |

MAD: In an 1962 issue: "Russian politics can best be understood by comparing them with American politics. For instance, in America, politicians have to kiss babies, and if they don't, the mothers can take their offices away from them. In Russia, the system is somewhat different. To get food, mothers have to kiss politicians and if they don't, the politicians can take their babies away from them." "When you're down and out, you wait in line at the clinic. When you're just getting by, you wait in line to see your family doctor. When you're making it, you're put first in line to see your family doctor. When you're on top of the heap, your family doctor waits in line to see you." |

One Saturday Night Live sketch, "Pothead Theater", had the writers going to a marijuana festival and interviewing the attendees for what kind of cartoons they wanted to see. All of the suggestions were this trope (nature exploiting people, a dog walking a person, ketchup getting people out of a bottle) followed by the cartoon in question and the attendee laughing like they're stoned. The last one suggests television watching people...which looks exactly like people watching television. The attendee doesn't laugh, but just acts confused. | |

When he's back on the ground, he throws a fit and says that he's so small, he can't even fly a kite. Pooh comments that he was just flying one and he replies "No, the kite was flying me." | |

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as part of the symbolism the game is steeped in there are three agents associated with the Virtuous Mission: Snake, and two spies codenamed Adam and Eve. By Word of God this a Stealth Pun Russian Reversal: it is not Snake who tempts Eve; rather, Eve tempts him. In most Metal Gear games, you hide from your enemies. In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, your enemies (try to) hide from you. Almost every enemy encounter is an ambush of some kind, and a few hidden enemies even try hiding in cardboard boxes. |
