Julmahuvi
Julmahuvi (julma = cruel; huvi = fun) is the name of a group of comedic actors which created several comical TV-series and mockumentaries for the Finnish TV-channels Yle TV1 and MTV3.The show was created with an impressive budget of 67,000 € per episode which resulted in extremely high production-values (in comparison to Finnish low-budget sketch-shows like Pulttibois and Kummeli).The last big production was the mini-series Mennen tullen which featured several characters from Studio Julmahuvi's fictional cop-shows now in the present day.The Joyboys Story won the Bronze Rose of Montreux in 1997 and Studio Julmahuvi was awarded with the Venla (Finland's equivalent to an Emmy) prize for the best comedy show in 1999.Studio Julmahuvi, The Joyboys Story, Jerico 2000 and Mennen tullen were all released as a box-set on DVD in 2005 with a bonus CD containing voice-clips and songs featured on Z-Salamapartio, one of the fictional cop-shows set in the 1970s.
