Here lies also hidden a very minor and significant joke about the names used, which can be understood only if one knows the culture. The name “Pena” is an urban pet name for Pentti and conveys the very friendly relationship they guys in the cabinet have. But we do that with top politicians we like. In 1956-81 our president’s first name was Urho, but everyone knows who we are talking about if we use the pet name Urkki. After him we got Mauno Koivisto, who was just Manu etc.
A satirical magazine called Pahkasika appeared in Finland a long time ago. They stopped publishing the magazine because the reality was in no way different from the magazine's satire. The same is often the case with politics these days, it is difficult to produce satire.
In Pahkasika magazine there was a satire about real tv -programs. It was in the 90s and there was a dancing program running in tv. They mocked the program, how people didn't have to go dancing themselves, they could just watch it on tv. They made up many real tv shows, like Driving a car -tv show, Family arguing -tv show etc. And the worst of the wors, the ultimate bottom was Let's watch the telly -tv show, a show about people watching the telly. Does it sound familiar, maybe "Sohvaperunat" they call it... And also this video, a man watching tv and reacting to it. We have come a long way.
Excellent satire. I don't think this is a stab at any particular minister, but we have had a few bad ministers, also Prime Ministers, the past decades. The first who comes to mind is Finland's first female Prime Minister Anneli Jäätteenmäki, who was prime minister for only 2 months in 2003 before she had to resign (apparently Elizabeth Truss in the UK wasn't any better in 2022). Jäätteenmäki was then elected to the EU parliament and stayed there as an MEP for 15 years.
Jankon Betoni scetch from Kummeli is an all time great! "English subtitles for the Finnish comedy sketches titled ''Jankon Betoni'' from the comedy show Kummeli."
Yeah, "bollocks" is too strong to put in that reporter's mouth. "Pöyristyttävää" would be more like "outrageous" or "preposterous". And the subs went way too fast, even for a superfast reader like myself. But I've seen worse. (And yeah, there are politicians like that, sadly.)
Yes Minister was great. It was much higher-brow than the Kummeli sketches, obviously. The main character was a minister completely controlled by his aides. I loved Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby's machinations.
@@enginerd80 Can't really say this holds a candle, it's just the same joke repeated over and over. Even in terms of sketch comedy this might reach the levels of Kids In The Hall but not the brilliance of Whitest Kids U Know. Certainly not a drama like In The Red or Yes Prime Minister.

Favorite Finnish tv-show would be Madventures for sure. Especially the first and the second season. So that would be my recommendation (since it was asked).

There was a finnish political satire animated show called Itsevaltiaat (The Autocrats) one of the episodes was made for internatinational film festival and was voice acted completely in English. Its in 2 part on RUclips it called The Autocrats Operation ECS.
To be precise the show was called "Itse valtiaat" with a space, which changes the literal meaning to "the rulers themselves". But you're right, it's also a play on the word itsevaltiaat, which would indeed mean "the autocrats".

Kummeli was in the 90's. This is a good piece of commentary about corruption and power. However, I genuinely like Jukka Lindström's political satire. He has had three series by far: Noin viikon uutiset (The news of about a week), Jukka Lindströmin sivuhistoria (J. L's page history) and Kovan viikon ilta (Evening of a hard week). I am not sure if there are pieces of these with English subtitles on RUclips. But worth a check.

Which is why the shows that make jokes about news are pretty good. Shows a bit like the one you have with Richard Ayoade being hilarious with a couple of other people forming teams.

Usually politicians aren't that incompetent on interviews nowadays, but there are quite some anecdotes, some which I have happened to witness myself as a Finn. I was having a beer or two in a pub near Finnish Parliament roughly a year ago. Suddenly a significant portion of the Green parliamentary group, and some MPs who had lost their seat on previous elections came around, and sat on tables next to mine. I decided that well, this is going to get interesting, I'll sit for a while listening. And yes, it was interesting, one of the outgoing MPs was suggesting to find a way to use budget funds allocated to war veterans (all of whom are well over 90 now) in her personal support, and nobody really reacted to it in any way... and I had listened only for two hours! Sure it could have been a joke of sorts, but exactly a joke of a sort which Greens themself would gladly see topple governments they don't approve. I also had to remind a caretaker government minister not to leave her bag unattended on separate table in the pub in this occasion. Like, yeah, politicians are only humans, but maybe they should try at least a bit considering that they're paid pretty well for it!
Remember, the n-word didn't used to be as bad as it is in english, it was for a long time totally acceptable to use in Finland. Of course things have changed, for a good reason and we don't use it anymore. It does not have the same history here but ever since internet brought us all much closer to each other it is obvious that we can't use it either. I'm all for it, don't miss it but just to give some context.
I kinda prefer Rabata from Czech. I.e. 'robot'. But I guess dehumanizing the master-slave dichotomy is fine, I mean who cares about human rights of Slav orphans who were brought to Europe to be "taught" by European masters. That's the origin of the word, CHILD slavery. When alternatively you may censor the fact that "n-word" is open dialogue about DOMESTIC forced labor, being treated like Slavs "deserve" to be treated in American worldview. So they USED that word on the Africans. Only calling them by their skin color was more offesive than skinning them.
Yes it did, but the joke is that in reality this prime minister (=pääministeri) and his cabinet is making terrible deals and using terrible language, but he has this tendency of blurbing out the truth. Using decent language there would go against the joke. 🙂
@@AnttiKivivalli For sure, we are not hearing it in a positive context but.. it is so tabu word now that it can't be used in any context and i don't find any strong enough reasons to disagree with that.
No.😂 Kummeli did cheap productions and mostly in or near Tampere where Yle channel two had their premises. The building is the city hall (Raatihuone) of Tampere.
oh dear, youtube has been suggesting your vids for a while now, never watched them of course after seeing the nick, thought you were estonian.... but that accent tells me otherwise.
"I guess some politicians are like that, very incompetent". To be honest, Id rather have incompetent politicians than politicians that actually work against the people. Those ones are called smart politicians that slowly steer the ship to privatization and then the companies take a good sliver off the top of the taxes that paid for the services. There has to be profit from somewhere so the quality of the service has to go down and the amount of "tax planning" will go up.
If you want see newer comedy, you should check out Kimmo and Sunnuntai lounas. If you feel like reacting to comedy movies I recommend Napapiirin sankarit (heroes of artic circle) part 1. And Luokkakokous 1 (class reunion 1.)
Don't get alarmed with the racial slurs, our country was a bit different back in the day. Like for example the ''N-word'' was an official term taught in schools back at 1960's. This was because these southern people were introduced to us for the first time in 1952 during olympics ( lol i know) So we went to the Swedish people to ask who these new comers were. Thus this word became official.
i would honestly vote that prime minister, purely because of he seems to be the only buy with the truth. also is it sad that these are not satirical anymore on today's world.
Finnish politics is very opaque and decision making is not open at all compared to the UK. Finnish politicians love their cabinets and hate open discussion. This is why this show hits home.
You seem to totally miss the whole point here. ”Is there any politcians like that?” They are all like that everywhere and the joke here is, if they all would tell the truth like this prime minister here.
Well, yeah. He is an idiot. Reminds me of republicans in the US. It is all for the big business and millionares and nothing for the "commoners". Well guess what Orphan (that really is his name, Orpo) the commoners will have a say on the matter. By election in 4 years or if push comes to shove a general strike.
If you havent noticed that Marin aint PM anymore. But Orpo (orhpan translated) is maybe the weakest pm has ever had.. he lets far right do what ever they want.. purra wh..e controls to gov.. not orpo. Sorry to bring this pol shat here m8.

4:42 prime minister forcing his way out. Dammit nothing can contain stupid
Kummeli is a classic 😂
Best one is when prime minister explains his use of alcohol and drugs. Sadly not on these clips.
Your luck, that these are in Finnish, you don't get ban from youtube that fast😂
No nyt on peisettiä
Finland is now in Nato. It went much like this...
Don't get alarmed with the racial slurs, our country was a bit different back in the day. Like for example the ''N-word'' was an official term taught in schools back at 1960's. This was because these southern people were introduced to us for the first time in 1952 during olympics ( lol i know) So we went to the Swedish people to ask who these new comers were. Thus this word became official.
Nobody asked
I don't care. @@encerche5629
This is just how things are really😂
🇺🇸From finland? 🇫🇮Kukaan suomest?
#MertFin
I think you would like "itsevaltiaat"
It's political sketch cartoon 😅
Can't say do it have translation
i would honestly vote that prime minister, purely because of he seems to be the only buy with the truth.
also is it sad that these are not satirical anymore on today's world.
Can you reaktio to kummeli musavisa Israel
That first one was kinda interesting... oh sorry its you :D
On a sidenote, that 1 guy from the show, Heikki Silvennoinen is one of our best known blues guitarists. ruclips.net/video/Do2Eg4DI_z0/видео.html
Yes today's politics is satire at its best
react to ketonen intersports
Finnish politics is very opaque and decision making is not open at all compared to the UK. Finnish politicians love their cabinets and hate open discussion. This is why this show hits home.
for clarify this is old scene, when n-word wasnt so big of a deal :D
Please react to Jope
Didn't remember how 😂 these were
We has been many that kind prime minister in Finland.
Not really. I really can’t remember anyone who had said the truth out plainly about any shady or stupid deals and decisions.
😂😂😂😂
Hello from Finland. This is very old tv program. These days we are wiser and this kind of racism would be unheard of.
🤣🤣🤣
This wad joke then, Its true now.
Mä oon ääniharava
You seem to totally miss the whole point here. ”Is there any politcians like that?” They are all like that everywhere and the joke here is, if they all would tell the truth like this prime minister here.
We have party called perus suomalaiset and they are pretty much like this 😂
Omg
Suomi mainittu.
Basically a documentary of politics.
Have to say the translation is a bit bad
This is not a parody, this is a documentary about our current prime minister.
Well, yeah. He is an idiot. Reminds me of republicans in the US. It is all for the big business and millionares and nothing for the "commoners". Well guess what Orphan (that really is his name, Orpo) the commoners will have a say on the matter. By election in 4 years or if push comes to shove a general strike.
yeah, Marin is Jack of all Mistakes.
@@ahmo2 That comment would have been relevant 2 years ago.
If you havent noticed that Marin aint PM anymore. But Orpo (orhpan translated) is maybe the weakest pm has ever had.. he lets far right do what ever they want.. purra wh..e controls to gov.. not orpo. Sorry to bring this pol shat here m8.
@@ahmo2she is not the prime minister anymore, if you havent noticed...
