Ok, can someone explain to me the “In Soviet Russia… [noun] [verb] you!” quotes? I’ve seen them everywhere, and I don’t understand why they are funny. I’ve seen so many jokes with it… like “In Soviet Russia… poems write you!” or “In Soviet Russia… the internet telephones you!”

wtf? Did I miss something?
