I’m watching the only channel that has tv shows in English on this hotel tv and this show has popped up a couple times. Don’t know how to use this tv so I don’t know the title. Looks like some sort of sketch show maybe. Can anyone tell me the title and what it’s about or what it parodies? My girlfriend and I find it pretty funny despite not understanding a word

  2. It’s from 90’s sketch show ”Vintiöt”. I believe the sketch is called Rane ja keravan kollit.

  3. It’s called Vintiöt, translates as Rascals.

    Old series from 90s.

  4. Looks like “Vintiöt”. It was a finnish sketch show from the 90’s.

  6. Vintiöt – translates roughly as “rascals”

    It was relatively popular sketch comedy show in late 90’s

  8. Tervasaari summer theatre is my favorite from that sketch show, but that one probably does not work that well without knowing the language.

  16. As others have pointed out, it’s Vintiöt.

    As a sidenote, the person on the right appears to be Samuli Edelmann. He played associate to the main antagonist in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

    Main antagonist was played by Michael Nyqvist, who was a Swedish actor. Both are well known in their native countries and Nyqvist was well on his way into international recognition.

  17. As others have said its called Vintiöt, a show that ran in the mid 90s for 27 episodes and a new season in 2003. The show had a bunch of actors who were nobodies at the time but are now basically all-star Finnish actors like Juha Veijonen, Kari Hietalahti, Samuli Edelmann and Santeri Kinnunen.

  18. Bunch of kids studying theater school borrowed video camera, made some skits and somehow got their product on Finnish national television. 90’s were wild in here.

  19. A-a-a-aa asiaa!

    Potkii seinää täyssii!

    (Let’s kick the wall really hard!)

  20. By the way, the one who plays Rane (the guy on the right) in this sketch is Samuli Edelmann. He played the bad guy Wistrom in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.

  21. To add to others, this was an example of a new type of sketch show that surfaced in the late 80’s and became a staple in the early 90’s as an economic depression mowed down budgets for both national and commercial TV networks – anyone with an idea for a show that could be made at a low cost was welcome. Thorough scripts, or a convincing lineup of professional actors? Almost out of the question due to cost. You say you can film it without needing studio time? Perfect! Someone started snickering in the middle of the take? Good enough, we can’t spend all day getting this done.

    The era still gave us some good laughs, while a lot of the stuff lacked seriously in depth and relied more on laughing at characters you could feel superior to, instead of taking jabs at phenomenons in society or something more serious.

  22. It’s called Vintiöt. It was a messy, largely improvised sketch show in the 90’s. This skit has two young dudes admiring Rane, the cool kid. I can’t remember much about the actual jokes. The show was very popular and they even made a CD with songs. “Rane on Kingi” was one of them.

  24. Oooh. That is correct. I stand corrected. Going to leave my mistake visible though.

  25. This man is the chuck Norris of Finland. He brought karate to Finland.

  29. The best type of crazy humor. A couple of famous Finnish actors started their careers from this silly show.
