I remember the old show ‘Third Rock From the Sun’ one of the running jokes was...

Every time the ‘Earthlings’ said or did something, one of the aliens would say oh, we already did that. (Guess that was an echo of the 50s/60s whenever WE did anything, the Russians were ready with ‘proof’ that they had already done it).
Anyway, apparently the ONLY thing they hadn’t been able to master was Shampoo & conditioner in the same bottle.

One Russian running joke then was that the greatest Soviet Inventor was named U. S. Regpatoff.
