Hyvät herrat | comment |
Iconic Finnish political satire show, the name translating to "Good men", or more loosely "gentlemen". Aired on MTV 3 from 1990 until 1996, it was written by journalist Aarno Laitinen and politician Lasse Lehtinen. It was a massive hit, at one stage getting 3 in 10 of the country watching (in American terms, that's Super Bowl ratings - for a political satire show).The show follows the lives of international trade advisor Johannes Paukku, a sausage manufacturer who became exceedingly rich; and Tollo Koskivuo, Paukku's son-in-law and left-wing politician. Every episode they organise an evening in the sauna (it's Finland; where else?) with prominent politicians they tried to coax into supporting their views.It eventually got a less popular sequel called Herrat nauraa in 1999 and an unlicensed noughties remake was made without Laitinen's involvement. | |

Corrupt Politician: Tollo. In Finland his kind of corruption is through the Hyvä veli-verkosto, the "Old Pals' Network", where favours are given to old friends. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain | |
Hyvät herrat / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: Paukku seems to discriminate against anyone he doesn't like. When they hired an African-American immigrant as a sauna back washer, he didn't take too well. Some of Tollo's lines would really not go down well today, either. | |

Hyvät herrat / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: Occasionally, due to the topsy-turvy nature of politics, the script was rewritten at short notice to see if politician [x] was going to come to the sauna or not. | |

Catchphrase: Henkilökunta, tärpättiä!. It translates to "Staff, turpentine!" - used by Paukku to signify that he needs more booze. Became a national phenomenon. | |
