Uuno Turhapuro

Pasanen had earlier thought of characteristics including laziness and an ability to explain matters for the character of the husband several years ago.The specific date of the first sketch played by Loiri and Raita in early 1971 has been forgotten, as Mainostelevisio had a habit of reusing video reels to record new material for economy reasons.When Pasanen took the Turhapuro films abroad in the 1980s, he translated the character's name to English as Numbskull Emptybrook or Pointlessbrook, and to French as Bébert Bocal.[3]: 129–130 Uuno Daavid Goljat Turhapuro is a ragged man, characterised by his tattered string vest, sparse row of teeth and untidy face, perhaps depicting a Finnish stereotype of a loser.[6] Uuno possibly also has a very big ego; he considers himself a born "leader" and, before his marriage, also the "most desirable bachelor in Helsinki" (Lottovoittaja UKK Turhapuro, 1976).[7] Uuno's wife Elisabeth Turhapuro (played by Marjatta Raita) is the daughter of rich industrialist Councillor Tuura (Tapio Hämäläinen).His biggest virtue is his gift of gab that he uses in settling marital problems, cadging free hot dogs from the stand and seducing other women.
