Kummeli – Translation please?? These guys seem ridiculously funny and I would love to know about this Dating Game skit.

  1. There was a dating series in Finland’s TV broadcast like this, but called Napakymppi. It means Bull’s Eye. This is Rapakymppi and “rapa” can be translated as “mud”.

    The woman asks typical game show questions like what is muds horoscope sign or how they looks like and so on. These guys gives debile answers and mostly copies each others.

    The parody itself is about masculine insecurity.

    The winner was a guy who said to look like Richard Gere but the woman couldn’t recognized him as that.

  2. From the point where he starts asking the guys:

    Where did you come from? (as in “where are you from”)

    From the train station.

    I came out of a car.

    I was here already. (oh boy, translating these lines kinda makes me appreciate them more)

    ​

    She asks: I’m a Cancer in the horoscope system, what are you?

    I’m a Cancer as well.

    I, too, am a Cancer.

    Well, I’m a Cancer, then, I guess.

    ​

    She asks: What film star do you look like the most?

    Richard Gere.

    Jane Fonda.

    Well, I don’t know, I’ll just say Tarzan.

    ​

    She asks: I go to the gym a lot, and would like to know how much weight you can manage in the bench press.

    100 kg.

    200 kg.

    Well, I don’t know, maybe three and a half hundred kilograms.

    ​

    She asks: If a nasty guy spills beer on me in a bar, what would you do?

    I’d kill him.

    I’d kill him, too.

    Well, I guess maybe I’d kill him, then.

    ​

    She asks: What’s your favourite sex position? (the host decides to ask the last guy first)

    Listen, what’s it called when the man’s on top?

    I believe you mean the missionary position.

    Yup, then my favourite is the missionary position.

    The other guys just answer “same here”

    ​

    She asks: What sort of an image do you have of me, based only on my voice? (going back to the original order of who answers first):

    Big tits.

    Same here.

    Well, maybe smart, and a big ass, perhaps.

    ​

    She states she doesn’t want to choose anyone, and the host says “Well, this is what Finnish guys are like, you’ll just have to go for it”. She says she’ll choose the one who claimed to have the appearance of Richard Gere.

    She’s asked who she thinks is her choice, and guesses wrong twice. All of the guys come with a prize – in this game concept you could end up with a your perfect match and a measly prize, or vice versa. The first guy who’s not chosen, has a scraper as a prize (literally a 5 euro tool). The second guy’s prize would have been laminate flooring. As she realizes she’s stuck with the third guy, she says “well it can’t be him, right?” But that’s the guy. His prize is floor heating. (in the original dating show, all of the prizes were about travel – ranging from a week abroad to a weekend trip to a nearby spa)

    The host tells them: “It’s ok to hug”.
