I remember when I saw Kalmah for the first time in Tuska 2008. They had absolutely magnificent speeches in between the songs with all these stupid jokes that often rhymed as well. In Finnish of course. Too bad I don't really remember them but I found this video that has one in it.
That clip would translate to something like "We are Kalmah and we are going to sink you into a swamp by your neck with a sack on your head! Why a sack? So that mosquitos won't eat." I'd say the catch here is that Finnish words sound somewhat similiar (a sack = säkki, mosquito = sääski, eat = syö) so it makes this funny feeling when they spoken immediately after each other (especially when he added emphasis to different parts with different tones) so obviously the effect isn't as strong in English. What's better they didn't have a single serious speech where they would compliment the audience or anything the whole gig, just these jokes.
