Pasila	comment	Pasila is a satirical Finnish animated series about the daily lives of the policemen at the Pasila precinct in Helsinki.The series' main character is Inspector Kyösti Pöysti, a highly self-centered, dysfunctional individual who is always sucking on a pacifier for unknown reasons. His unruly behaviour and unconventional methods while investigating crimes are often a source of ire for his boss, Rauno Repomies, an elderly police captain bordering on senility. Pöysti's colleagues include his former Police Academy classmate Neponen, a manly policewoman Helga who has anger management issues, and Desk Sergeant Pekka Routalempi, a dull little man who finds every little mundane thing "fascinating". Annoying TV presenter Juhani Kontiovaara also keeps butting in Pöysti's business, when in search of cheap thrills and other ways to improve his ratings.Pasila became hugely successful due to its hilarious characters and slapstick humor, with six seasons running from 2007-2013. The sixth season was stated to be the last one, but a self-proclaimed Spin-Off called Pasila 2.5 started airing in February 2014, which ran for four seasons ending in 2016.Episodes with English fansubs can be found from YouTube and there is also an official English dub of the series, known as Jefferson Anderson, with only the first two seasons having been dubbed into English.There is a character page here.

Pasila / int_186c2c62	comment	Diet Episode: One of the final episodes of the Spin-Off involves a formerly Fat and Proud victim who was content to spend his days driving around grocery stores with his mobility scooter to gather massive amounts of junk food and consume it en masse watching TV, but who was then kidnapped by a fitness guru who finally wanted to come up with a diet that actually worked on even the most massive of hambeasts: she imprisoned him in a sealed-off basement for 6 months and forced him to do massive workouts every day and only fed him health smoothies, with the end result being a muscular, toned Adonis that she was planning to use to promote her new diet and who passing women fawn over and the Pasila policemen consider to be extremely handsome. Naturally, the victim's justifiable claims of being subjected to a kidnapping and extended torture fall on deaf ears when they all think the kidnapper did him a huge favor after seeing and hearing about his life before that, when he himself couldn't really care about all the attention women are giving him and he's far more traumatized about the sudden inability to eat more than 2 burgers at a time due to his shrunk stomach.

He ultimately loses out to Repomies, because she feels old when spending time with Pöysti, whereas Repomies's endless droning about his youth occasionally makes her feel young.

Sure, the Pasila police station gets demolished in the first episode of Pasila 2.5, but since it's back by the end of the episode, the event qualifies as a Snap Back at most.

Later, another suspect is brought in and Repomies attempts the shin-kicking method again and gets a confession. Pöysti points out that he just made up the said information just to make Repomies stop. When Repomies doesn't believe him, Pöysti demonstrates by making up an alternate interpretation of events and starts beating the suspect's head in with a chair until the perp agrees that his address is the correct one. Once the situation switches over to Jack Bauer Jofa Interrogation Technique, he threatens to move on to power tools and frozen beavers, which seems to visibly shake the suspect. Before the perp can spill any actual info however, his lawyer barges in and anesthetizes him to the point that he's immune to all and any pain.

Pöysti still doesn't believe them and comes up with several unique ideas, but all of them are a combination of something extremely dangerous, physically impossible, utterly illegal or unrealistically expensive, forcing him admit defeat and go with the default option.

Later, when one of them who happen to visit the police station with a matter related to the case of the week, he's ignored completely. Instead, the characters start talking about all the Saksalas in general, the sightings of whom they've turned into their own Collectible Card Game.

While he claims he doesn't miss it one bit and that anyone who gets emotionally attached to a clump of inanimate meat is even more emotionally handicapped than he is, the episode still ends in a mostly-serious montage of him wandering around depressed watching various brother pairings having fun while He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother plays.

Pasila / int_570f2124	comment	Minor Injury Overreaction: A side plot in one of the early episodes: Pöysti spots a mole on his arm, freaks out and visits several doctors over the course of the episode. Subverted to a degree in that his exact state of distress varies wildly depending on the type of doctor diagnoses him even though most of them claim it to be harmless. A hospital physician leaves him worried because he doesn't take Pöysti seriously as he's apparently shown the exact same mole to him twice. Another one says it's extremely serious, but he just causes Pöysti to think there's nothing to worry about since he didn't come across as competent to him. A doctor at a private clinic does manage to calm his nerves since Pöysti thinks he's being paid to be professional, and a countryside doctor further makes him feel at ease since he comes off as being "down to earth" to Pöysti. Another episode takes a turn for Major Injury Underreaction instead: after the speeder Makkonen runs over Pöysti, it causes a previously hidden teratoma to pop up and appear on his shoulder. When he finds out what it is, he starts treating the lump as an actual long-lost brother and won't have it removed even when it gets badly infected and threatens his life.

While Pöysti hates Reetta's guts and is unable to stop her from going through with the show like he was initially told to do due to how she constantly endangers herself and her dancers in the rehersals and blows up large chunks out of the buildings she does the show in to "fix the acoustics", he still ultimately goes to see hew show and is actually mesmerized by what he sees, considers it to be a masterpiece with nothing to add or to take away from it and is about to experience some form of personal enlightenment... when Reetta suddenly drops dead on the stage and is revived afterwards.

Pöysti may be the sanest one in turn when cynicism is called for in the face of something stupid that people find compelling. Repomies likes to point out Pöysti's problems and denials to the point that he sometimes has to admit them, only to immediately throw the imaginary ball back at Pöysti and start talking complete nonsense. Routalempi is usually shown as pretty useless and clueless, but he's also probably the happiest person around in contrast to everyone else's attitude problems. Helga, on the other hand, isn't usually drawn into the same petty arguments the rest of the characters often find themselves in and often ignores anything that doesn't directly distract her from her work, but as a result, she generally has a single-track mind and if any solution to any given situation involves violence in any way, she'll take it without question.

Pöysti ultimately turns it against him by threathening to put up a website of his own about how all of Repomies' relatives are sex-obsessed maniacs who can't stay away from brothels, forcing Repomies to give up and finally let Pöysti go on his vacation.

Pasila / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Pasila / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In addition to the ones linked elsewhere on this page, here's a good number of more minor ones: In the episode "Stalker", a disillusioned stalker says this to his victim: "You aren't anything I thought you'd be! I can't introduce a woman like you to my mummified mother, who lives in the basement!" The leader of a heist crew in an early episode is referred to as Jaska Jokunen, the Finnish name for Charlie Brown. One of the things Pöysti makes the other characters do when he's temporarily made the new police chief and is abusing his power is making them say "Purple monkey dishwasher" in Finnish, a reference to the end result of a "broken telephone" game in The Simpsons. When Repomies accidentally kicks a chair into suspect's head, he apologizes and asks if he wants some Jaffa. Instead of being a nonsensical reference to Stargate, it's referring to the unproven urban legend about a Finnish soft drink called Jaffa, said to be able to relieve stomach pain...but it wouldn't have made any difference anyway since the subject was hit in the head. Jack Jofa's last name in the 24 parody episode is a reference to Jack Bauer's last name. Both Jofa and Bauer are manufacturers of sporting equipment. In one episode, Repomies blabbers about "Rauno's juice party ending badly when the Black Angel takes him away". This is a reference to Finnish musician Tuomari Nurmio and his song "Musta enkeli" ("Black Angel"). Also from the same episode: In season 3, episode 7, Pöysti mocks bank robbers for their lack of preparation and makes a reference to Ocean's Eleven in regards of a possible method of pulling off the heist while doing so. In one episode, Pöysti complains about the "newest Bond movie" to the ticket vendor in a movie theatre. Said vendor looks and sounds a lot like the Squeaky Voiced Teen in The Simpsons and is also working at the same job SVT's been seen in. The entrance of the main building of the Finnish National Football Association is guarded by a pair of stormtroopers. Pöysti meets a bunch of sports groupies in the same episode. One of them acts as a spokesperson and the rest of them just agree to everything she says with an exclamation of "Ni!" (which actually is one way to voice your agreement in Finnish). Pöysti calls them "the whores who say Ni!" after he rounds them up. One of Pöysti's Dream Sequences is a blantant reference to Casablanca. Episode "Non, je ne regrette rien" is an episode-long Shout-Out to Inception and films of M. Night Shyamalan. Also in the same episode: A Straw Critic by the name of Peter von Schnabb. He's named after well-known Finnish movie expert Peter von Bagh, but also bears a a passing resemblance to Roger Ebert. In one episode, after Repomies attempts to stop Routalempi from investigating police archives because they might have dirt about him in there, he proceeds to toss down a smoke bomb and shoots a Grappling-Hook Pistol into the ceiling, with its hook shaped like a Batarang. Finnish grocery company Saarioinen has a long-standing slogan of "Our moms cook so yours don't have to." One episode twists the slogan into "Our moms shit so yours don't have to". In the episode "Virginia Heartbreaker", the owner of the Virginia Woffelhouse restaurant is a man by the name of Reino K. Sepultura. When Repomies is undergoing his Disney Acid Sequence mentioned above, the song that plays during it and the characters dance to is "Twiggy" by Pizzicato Five.

Helga fails because she instantly calls a female student a slut after she asks her the generic "can you get pregnant from kissing" question. Neponen is never even considered for the task because "he supports Pöysti and is suspicious". Routalempi accidentally manages to save the day by constantly getting distracted by modern school equipment while lecturing.

Another variety of this is shown later in the form of the Virginia Heartbreaker, a ridiculously unhealthy hamburger that consists of six hamburger buns deep-fried in boiling syrup, four 2-pound steaks made from a cow fed entirely with gasoline, cheese breaded with cotton candy, and a whole package of bacon still in its plastic wrapping and just taking a single bite of it causes whoever eats it to experience a heart attack-induced Disney Acid Sequence.

Pasila / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Several, including but not limited to: The briefing slides. In addition to showing Mrs. Repomies in indecent situations, people often tend to screw up with them in less disturbing ways, such as Pöysti using too many zeroes when describing the losses of unreported employment, apparently noticing it too late and crossing them out. Whenever one of the main characters appear in Kontiovaara's show, they're always doing something embarrassing, like Repomies screaming with a crazed expression or Pöysti taking a leak against a tree while drunk out of his mind. The movie Amélie often ends up working its way into Pöysti's rants as one of the things he can't stand, especially if he's out on a date. Another character also states at one point that watching it countless times with his girlfriend is one of the numerous sacrifices he has to make to ultimately make his girlfriend happy. Pöysti never gets Neponen's first name right. This annoys Neponen greatly, given that he's pretty much Pöysti's best and only friend. During Pöysti's half-year holiday in Far East, he doesn't really grow up as a person, but after he returns, he FINALLY gets Neponen's first name right. Pöysti borrowing money from Neponen, or telling him to buy him a pizza. People asking Pöysti why is he wearing a pacifier, to which Pöysti answers sarcastically. Mostly used in earlier episodes. Most episodes end with Pöysti and Repomies arguing on the roof. At some point Pöysti gets fed up and leaves, after which Repomies continues his monologue, which gets more delusional by every sentence. When Pöysti or another character tells someone else to not do something and they do it anyway, they'll always follow it up with "there, you went and did <whatever action Pöysti/another character told them not to do>"

Pasila / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Pöysti tries to make a point by describing a situation where two opposing religious leaders are having an argument and get crushed by a falling piano. Repomies is utterly confused why a piano would fall on both of them out of the blue, but leaves the matter be when Pöysti states that it's irrelevant. Skip to the very end of the episode, where said people are standing next to each other outdoors, agreeing with the basic concepts of their religious views... and are prompty crushed by a falling piano. In one episode, Repomies rambles about his funeral. Among other things, he notes that maybe someone else gets buried alive with him. While he never dies on the show, the final episode does include a segment about his funeral; And Pöysti jumps into the coffin with him.
