I don't laugh at them, I laugh at how the language gets mangled, with usual literal translations. However, i do find it enjoyable when Russian extras are being taken for the Russian roles, and are given the freedom to express the sentiment exactly as a Russian would. Pleasant surprise occurred a week ago when i was watching My Own Worst Enemy show. There were couple of FSB operatives in Mexico (OK, this is a stretch) hunting for Christian Slater's character. And the phrases they used and the vocalization of them were pretty spot-on. Anyways, with the amount of Russian immigrants living all over US and Canada, one would think it would be pretty easy to find a language consultant.
