That "Pena came up with it at the last meters" has lived on ever since 😂😂

Kummeli was a "fast show", with repeating skits and characters every week. This one was just one of those characters.

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.

"Pena came up with it at the last meters" is a meme in Finland still today 25 years later. It means that somebody came up with a ridiculous idea...

The subtitles could be better... Also missing that nice detail when Pena drags the Prime Minister away he protests saying "Hey! I'm the vote-puller!"

Yes Minister + Yes Prime Minister are the best British political satire series, very well written and intelligent humour

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.

The subtitles come off like I wrote them when I was 13, but it's the thought that counts 😂

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.

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."

”Kummeli” is golden. It was made during 1991-1995.

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 UKposts it called The Autocrats Operation ECS.

A Finn in Sweden: I thought it was a documentary!!

I Love Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister series!

Itse valtiaat a diamond of a animated show about finnish politics

The building they filmed these in is the Tampere city hall. You can find interesting photos of it from the Finnish civil war in 1918.

I don't know if it's available to see with decent subs, but Kummeli film from 1997, "Gold Rush" is great. It's not just funny, it's a good film for real.

Haha hello from Finland😂 Perkele!

Well you cant say those words anymore out loud . 😅. But hello from finland 😂

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).

Tämä on totta.. hyvä Pena!

This series was really hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣I wonder if NATO negotiations went like this 😂😂😂😂

They can do so much....this is just a tip in the iceberg. Just great humor.

Loved Capaldi as The Doctor. I think I'll check out The Thick of It

"Wille will take divorce", He is the man 😂

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!

I fully agree on how difficult it is to make political satire shows anymore. People can't tell if you're joking or if it's just news. 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. We used to have Uutisvuoto with quite clever regular members even when they switched the members later. Then there was Hyvät ja huonot uutiset. And some others I believe later. Oh one all time favourite of people by Kummeli must be Speedy and Saku, the heavy metal guys. They're just hilarious in how raw and pretty much idiots they are (but love music though). You can't imagine how many times I've been laughed at by family for playing guitar in a metal band back in the day, long hair and all, due to Speedy and Saku. Alongside Kummeli there was Studio Julmahuvi which was actually a rather big group of actors, many of them known in other productions later. It was more planned and in a sense more intelligent but also a bit more difficult humour to get into. Like some of the sketches require understanding the reference for example on the style of what they're imitating. But it has one of those really odd (but for that reason hilarious) sketches that is a documentary "The Last Wanderers" or whatever it'd be translated, where a researcher studies the Helsinki trams as if they were some rare animals. Then they had a sketch like muksuluuri which is a parody of children's show with a crazy host. And everyone old enough remembers Z-Salamapartio which was like a 70's detective story on some hippie revolution plans. It had killer soundtrack, they even released it separately. And the third one, the holy trinity of 90's Finnish comedy, was Vintiöt. Also successful actors and it had a bit of a bridging role between Kummeli and Julmahuvi. It was very basic humour like Kummeli, but slightly more creative and imaginary scenes. They had a classic sketch Tervasaaren kesäteatteri, summer amateur theatre sort of hit n run style, a teacher telling on someone's kid to the parents, the boxers who swear they haven't done any steroids, hundkarusellen - a swedish dog themed show, the prisoners and their jailer and the list goes on. Later there was Pulkkinen that was more like duo show, but it has some brilliant stuff like radio show host Osmo, an entertainer singing Ruusulaulu (Viihdetaiteilija), this really neurotic opthalmologist/copy machine responsible (I never quite figured out what he actually was, Kopiovastaava is the name usually titled to him), habitual criminal (Taparikollinen) and probably the best of them all: Piispa who has the nastiest mouth you could think of, giving tips to a priest who visits him before some ceremonies.

Lapinlahden Linnut was another great finnish comedy show.

Againg... grrrreat rrreaction 😂👍

Gotta love those literal and clunky subtitles.

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 UKposts. But worth a check.

That first one caught me of guard lol 😂

Kummeli has also made films. I have only seen one of them, Kummeli Kultakuume (Gold Rush/Fever).

Well that quickly went kinda old school.

Mankeli - suomalainen mies. That is great, but i dont know if there is subtitles for it 🤔

Few tips,Finnish comedy with English subtitles or in Engish: Old Kummeli sketch, "Logging guys" ukposts.info/have/v-deo/moOVmJmEiG-lkYU.html Ketonen & Myllyrinne, "Sex education class for kids" ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gmNldqOLhqeClqc.html Ketonen&Myllyrinne, "Guitar and Bass" ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rpmUeX5khYBz2YU.html Ketonen&Myllyrinne, "Leaving from office" ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oqGeaItqiaiCuoE.html Rare Export Inc.

Politics is satire as it is.. Been following it for few years now. Always someone pulling strings behind the scenes

Have you watched any of kummeli movies? There are plenty of them :) Kummeli kultakuume and kummeli stories are the best!

Your luck, that these are in Finnish, you don't get ban from youtube that fast😂

You should watch Kummeli Lääkärit Tulessa, it's a whole series.

These sketches are filmed at real location. The Government House is on the edge of Senate Square (Senaatintori).

This is just how things are really😂

Lapinlahden Linnut is one show that does not get that much attention. Not sure if you can find it with English subtitles.

Kummeli pilalle menneet (bloopers) is also good.

You should check out Uuno Turhapuro

Could you please react to Kummeli Aziz the Combat Fighter? 😇🙏

You should react finnish comedy video called "Make Välihuutajana"

Kummeli Prime minister was just like our real prime, Juha Sipilä

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.)

Kummeli is a classic 😂

🤣🤣🤣

No nyt on peisettiä

Yes today's politics is satire at its best

This is exacly what Sanna Marins goverment looked alike :D

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.

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.

Best one is when prime minister explains his use of alcohol and drugs. Sadly not on these clips.

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.

react to ketonen intersports

Finland is now in Nato. It went much like this...

Omg

That first one was kinda interesting... oh sorry its you :D

Please react to Jope

Didn't remember how 😂 these were

haha. pääministeri/prime minister is and always will be in my opinion the best of kummeli. hilarious. second comes normi päivä/normal day (norm day?). "normi päivä" is not "normal day". literal translation is "norm day". and all in all your them translations are bad. they could be a lot better. you miss part of the joke because of them. imho.

Suomi mainittu.

4:42 prime minister forcing his way out. Dammit nothing can contain stupid

Can you reaktio to kummeli musavisa Israel

Mä oon ääniharava

This wad joke then, Its true now.

for clarify this is old scene, when n-word wasnt so big of a deal :D

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.

On a sidenote, that 1 guy from the show, Heikki Silvennoinen is one of our best known blues guitarists. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fJ9jeZ1re3-Q22Q.html

We has been many that kind prime minister in Finland.

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.

We have party called perus suomalaiset and they are pretty much like this 😂

This is not a parody, this is a documentary about our current prime minister.

Basically a documentary of politics.

Hello from Finland. This is very old tv program. These days we are wiser and this kind of racism would be unheard of.

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.

😂😂😂😂
