- Reaction To Kummeli - Pääministeri Prime Minister (Finnish Political Satire)
This is my reaction to Kummeli - Pääministeri
In this video I react to Finnish comedy and satire from Kummeli called Prime Minister
Original Video - • Kummeli - Prime Minist...
That "Pena came up with it at the last meters" has lived on ever since 😂😂
Pena vetää aina viime metreillä aika kovat setit :D
Tämä on paras kummeli

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.
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.
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.
@@sepposuomenniemi6575 some times reality replicates fiction too closely... :D
"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!"
The translation included also this gem: "..hard per se" = hard-ass
The subtitles come off like I wrote them when I was 13, but it's the thought that counts 😂
Yes Minister + Yes Prime Minister are the best British political satire series, very well written and intelligent humour
Yes, they were also shown in Finland. Now that I think of it, Kummeli's Pääministeri might have been their own version of the British show.
@@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.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 Yeah Yes Minister was ona league of it's own. Kummeli is good but it's a lot of fast paced comedy and just a bunch of silly sketches there, not the intricate drama of Yes Minister
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."
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.
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 CZcams 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".
@@JiihaaS Then in English it would probably be "Themselves the Rulers", because it retains that double meaning of "self-appointed". It's a similar thing actually with "The House of Cards", because in that context "card" also means like a Mark of a con man. Basically "card" means a fool.
A Finn in Sweden: I thought it was a documentary!!
”Kummeli” is golden. It was made during 1991-1995.
Haha hello from Finland😂 Perkele!
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.
Indeed! I used to watch it once every summer for years.
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.
Well you cant say those words anymore out loud . 😅. But hello from finland 😂
I Love Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister series!
Tämä on totta.. hyvä Pena!
They can do so much....this is just a tip in the iceberg. Just great humor.
Lapinlahden Linnut was another great finnish comedy show.
This series was really hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣I wonder if NATO negotiations went like this 😂😂😂😂
"Wille will take divorce", He is the man 😂
Loved Capaldi as The Doctor. I think I'll check out The Thick of It
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 CZcams. But worth a check.
Kovan viikon ilta = A hard week's night
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.
You should check out Uuno Turhapuro
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!
Have you watched any of kummeli movies? There are plenty of them :) Kummeli kultakuume and kummeli stories are the best!
That first one caught me of guard lol 😂

You should watch Kummeli Lääkärit Tulessa, it's a whole series.
No nyt on peisettiä
Mankeli - suomalainen mies. That is great, but i dont know if there is subtitles for it 🤔
Kummeli has also made films. I have only seen one of them, Kummeli Kultakuume (Gold Rush/Fever).
Jackpot is also great
@@ilikevideos4868 Ei kyllä mitkään kummelien leffat ole juuri sen enempää katselemisen arvoisia kuin Speden aikoinaan tekemät ns "elokuvat". Jostain kumman syyystä, ehken juurikin näiden sketsisarjojen (Uunoturhapurojen aikoinaan) saaman suosion vuoksi kuvitellaan ettei millään ole mitään väliä, kunhan yritetään ratsastaa sillä telkkarissa saadulla suosiolla, sen enempää miettimättä leffan käsikirjoitusta tai sen toteutusta. Spede teki aikoinaan aluksi pelkästään eri sketsipätkien yhdistämistä jonkinlaiseksi elokuvan tapaiseksi. Kummeli erehtyi samaan. Elokuvaa jos tekee niin sitä pitäisi miettiä hieman tarkemmin, ottaa vaiks esikuvaksi jokin todella mietitty sekoiluleffa jostain missä sellaisia osataan oikeasti tehdä. Esimerkkinä vaikka jotkin Mel Brooksin parhaimmat tuotannot tai Monty Pythonin pari, kolme mestariteosta. Mutta rahakin ratkaisee toki, halvalla kun tekee niin jälki on sen mukaista, kuten Spedelläkin aikoinaan, sheapo films, vai miten se lontoon murteella menikään. Hätäisesti tehtyä, ei loppuun asti mietittyä pa...kaa, ratsastetaan vanhoilla meriiteillä ja kuvitellan sen olevan jotain yhtä hyvää leffaksi muunneltuna, ei vaan toimi. Tämä vielä Kummeli porukan tekemä "poliisisarja" Valkeakoskelta on ihan hauska ja toimiva, jokin sellainen vois kenties toimia elokuvanakin. Kenties, ehken sekin osataan pilata toteutuksessaan....!?
@@escobaristohalainen4007 Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man!
Well that quickly went kinda old school.
Politics is satire as it is.. Been following it for few years now. Always someone pulling strings behind the scenes
Lapinlahden Linnut is one show that does not get that much attention. Not sure if you can find it with English subtitles.
Could you please react to Kummeli Aziz the Combat Fighter? 😇🙏
Your luck, that these are in Finnish, you don't get ban from youtube that fast😂
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 Prime minister was just like our real prime, Juha Sipilä
This is just how things are really😂
Kummeli is a classic 😂
You should react finnish comedy video called "Make Välihuutajana"
Maybe you are talking about the movie pikkupojat?
It's part from Finnish movie 'Pikkupojat '.
@@JJ79_ He doesnt have to react to the whole movie, just to that scene
This is exacly what Sanna Marins goverment looked alike :D
These sketches are filmed at real location. The Government House is on the edge of Senate Square (Senaatintori).
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.
Didn't remember how 😂 these were
react to ketonen intersports
🤣🤣🤣
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.
That first one was kinda interesting... oh sorry its you :D
Omg
Yes today's politics is satire at its best
Can you reaktio to kummeli musavisa Israel

Best one is when prime minister explains his use of alcohol and drugs. Sadly not on these clips.
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.
Bad translation. Neekeri = Negro. Not a slur like *igger is
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.
@@AnttiKivivalli Uskon että tämän jakson lähetyksen aikana kaupoissa myytiin vielä neekerinsuukkoja...
Finland is now in Nato. It went much like this...
4:42 prime minister forcing his way out. Dammit nothing can contain stupid
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.
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.
for clarify this is old scene, when n-word wasnt so big of a deal :D
On a sidenote, that 1 guy from the show, Heikki Silvennoinen is one of our best known blues guitarists. czcams.com/video/Do2Eg4DI_z0/video.html
This wad joke then, Its true now.
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.
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.
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
We have party called perus suomalaiset and they are pretty much like this 😂
Before woke this was considered as funny. Yes it's inappropriate but it was/were satire and no one got hurt while filming. 😅
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.
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...
Have to say the translation is a bit bad
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.
😂😂😂😂
