Pulttibois 1989

Pulttibois was a popular Finnish sketch comedy television show that premiered on MTV3 in 1989 and which starred a two-man cast of comedic actors - Pirkka-Pekka Petelius and Aake Kalliala. Both Petelius and Kalliala previously had been known for their work on YLE sketch comedies during the 1980s. In Pulttibois, Petelius and Kalliala created a compilation of 'over the top' sketches that were often scorned by critics, but loved by television viewers, eventually leading to a large cult following. Three seasons of the show were made between 1989 and 1991, after which the show ended. It was succeeded by the less popular Manitbois, which saw the return of many of the characters from Pulttibois, as well as the singer imitations. However, the more popular characters from the original show were noticeably absent. Since the end of Manitbois, Petelius and Kalliala mostly have moved on to more serious drama series and movies. However, Petelius still occasionally stars in humorous advertisements and sitcoms...
