🗣📢 Пояснительную бригаду!
[ payasnitel'nuyu brigadu ]
🇬🇧 (I need) an explanatory brigade

🔻It's a quite popular phrase in Russian Internet space.
Pretty much, saying "Вызываю пояснительную бригаду!" or "(I am) Calling an explanatory brigade!" is a "funny" way for people to ask for explanation about stuff like posts or memes which they don't understand in the comments.

👀 Очки надо?
[achki nada]
🇬🇧 Do you want (need) glasses?

😂 "Ацки ннада?" [aztki nnada] is a viral video in which a Chinese in broken Russian sells toys, snacks and all sorts of small things, including funny “sad glasses”. He offers his goods, adding the word “Ннада?”( do you need?) to the name of the stuff.

🔻The “Ацки ннада” meme has become a symbol of obsession and is now associated with any salesmen who are trying to sell you their goods.

🔻In addition, the phrase has been liked by people, and even in a normal conversation, replacing glasses with something else, you can turn to someone with a request or offer:

🔸️"(Что-то) ннада?"
🇬🇧 Do you need (something)?
Or
🔸️"Мне ннада ( что-то)!"
🇬🇧 I need (something)!

😂 🚗 ☕ Мне ннада встроенную в машину кофемашину!
