Never having heard of this guy, I’d have assumed this was some quality dry humor, given that Catalan does sound a bit like Russian.

That’s the funniest shit I’ve read all-day. Imagine being that ignorant, down to biting the hand that feeds.

That’s like saying all English speakers use the same accent: facially absurd. There’s a fairly “standard” Midwestern accent that reaches to the Pacific sans “dontcha know?” but go east of there, and boy, howdy, do things get fractured. To say nothing of the rest of the remnants of the British Empire.
