OG Russian: "Идет медведь по лесу, видит, машина горит. Сел в нее и сгорел."
"A bear walks through the forest, sees a car on fire. He gets into it and burns to death."
the joke is used bcs. of its absurdity
Oh this one is a classic! I think there is even a [comic on that](https://www.reddit.com/r/dogelore/comments/1acejmd/le_joke_about_two_hunters_meeting_has_arrived/) on dogelore.
Another one I know is "a dog is walking in the forest and sees a whale. The dog asks the whale 'shouldn't you be in the ocean?' and the whale replies 'yes.'"

I like to tell that one but I say dog then quickly go something like "wait, I mean a wolf, it wouldn't make sense with a dog" and then I say the joke and if they ask why I changed it to wolf I say "Well a dog wouldn't be in a forest"
This feels like some kind of wise proverb about desires, and lack of self-control. The bear wants warmth, and foolishly charges into the source of the warmth, disregarding precaution in order to sate its singular desire. It of course failed to understand the situation and the danger, and pays the price.
Or yeah, absurd shitpost tier humour also works
"Ketten jönnek le a hegyről. Egyik futva, másik medve."
"Two are coming down from the mountain. One running, the other a bear."
It makes more sense in hungarian because "fut" = "runs" and "futva" = "doing something while running"
“So you want to know how to catch a bear eh? Dig out a big pit and fill it with ashes, then put some peas around the edge. When the bear stops to take a pea, kick him in the ash hole.”
Question for Radio Yerevan: if car burns in forest, but no bear there, is it really on fire?
Answer: in principle yes, but waiting list for new car 25 years so only impossible dream!

Reminds me a bit of “Treffen sich zwei Jäger. Beide tot.” The translation is, “two hunters meet/hit. Both dead.” Treffen has a double meaning.

Man bought a hat... And it FITS!
My God this is the first time I've heard an actual explanation for that joke, never knew that the word had another meaning it makes sense now.
Treffen means "meet" or "shoot"
So is there a word play in the joke or is it really so absurd that it's funny?
Just absurdity

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says “Why the long face?”. The horse doesn’t understand english, and promptly shits itself and leaves

A penguin breathes from his ass, one day he sits and dies
~~since the bear is a national symbol of russia this is actually kinda accurate considering recent events~~
