* AmbiguousDisorder: Man, where do we begin? PlayedForLaughs , obviously, but there's a few...
** Raisa Reikänaama is probably pretty seriously mentally disabled.
** Juri Kakka could have a schizophrenia... Scary, but could be.
** Mr. Aimo Alamansikka could also have a mental retardation, but milder than Raisa. Same goes with Kete Rahkonen.
** Jone Riksusta could have a bad ADHD.
** Jari Potsi... Yes, a narcissist.
** Heck, Leena Hefner has told us about her very own "hiding place", her own delusional world.
** Well, Jani-Petteri goes to psychotherapy, for crying-out-loud. It's not even ''ambiguous'' anymore, it's just sad.
** Sanna-Raipe. There's something seriously wrong with this kid.

The biggest, or at least the most popular part of ''Putous'' is The Sketch Character contest. The idea is very simple; the actors and actresses create their own, humorous sketch characters and play them. Every week they get a little task to do with their characters. Almost every year there has been a talent show and a singing contest. Sometimes they also make a parody of already existing contest, like ''Series/StrictlyComeDancing'' or ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire''. Every week one character must be eliminated, people vote for their favourites via phones. In the final episode there's only two characters left and either one of them will be crowned the sketch character of the year. Already four characters do carry that title; ''Marja Tyrni'' (Aku Hirviniemi), ''Munamies'' (Riku Nieminen), ''Leena Hefner, nee Herppeenluoma'' (Armi Toivanen) and ''Karim Z. Yskowicz'' (Jussi Vatanen). Even the characters which don't win do get usually very much attention. It's not unusual for those characters to make a record or get their own TV-show. The happenings in the character competition often do cross the news treshold of papers and the slogans these characters say do root in the heads of Finnish people. Finns often actually fall in love with Putous-characters, and I don't wonder why. The actors/actresses do very good work at creating those little creatures. Even thought the competition is almost purely a joke for them, they still manage to make their characters admirably right; the characters make everyone laugh from little kids to grown-ups, they are easy to identify, very often they take a stance on current talking points, they are sometimes even [[TearJerker touching]] and there's always a little drama between the characters. They can threaten to kick your father's ass, fall in love, have gory fights and arguments, accidentally make their silicon breast explode, get ripped off their [[ConjoinedTwins Siamese twin]], get drunk, almost come out of the closet... Jaakko Saariluoma has jokingly stated that he hosts the competition because he doesn't need a sketch character, he already is one. Since he is the only ”normal” person in the ludicrous world of sketch characters, they often have a special relationship with him. There's also quite a bit of characters who could consider Jaakko as their love interest.

* AlphaBitch: Yossu could actually be seen as a parody of an alpha bitch. She has a big boob (yes, only one), wears pink shirts and too much make-up, she's selfish and maybe even a little bit mean. Guys like her, too. Still, she's so awkward, that she couldn't really be a real alpha bitch, even if she still was in school or had two friends (who would probably be Leena and Pilvi Pouta, just saying) who would worship her. But still, Yossu could be an awkward and humorous version of an alpha bitch.

** Also, it's implied that mr. Mallorca and Timo Harjakainen had something going on during the sketch character competition...
--> '''Mr. Mallorca:''' During these eight weeks I got to know you throught and throught, maybe even too much... Er, Sorry, Timppa, I let that slip.
--> '''Timo Harjakainen:''' No, it doesn't matter, if you once let it slip.
*** And, in Mallorca's own programme ''”Mr. Mallorca kohteessa”'' (''”Mr. Mallorca in the Destination”''), they apparently had a little something in some episode. The troper hasn't seen the episode, but at least Harjakainen has said in an interview something like this:
--> '''Interviewer:''' Did you learn something new about Mr. Mallorca, new sides of him?
--> '''Timo Harjakainen:''' I won't let anything about them slip from my mouth, ninnannunnan. But one time doesn't make you gay, right... If you're young and you need money.
** Speaking of Harjakainen, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be a bit bi too, I suppose.
** Also Karim Z. Yskowicz from the fourth season. Karim appreciates women very much and is such a womanizer, at least if you consider the fact he is married and has six children. Still there is some funny confusions with his bad Finnish, for example he told Jaakko Saariluoma, that Ben Zyskowicz is not Karim's brother, but he loves Karim's ”kalu” (means ''”cock”''). Actually Karim meant to say, that Ben loves his ''”käly”'' (means ''”sister-in-law”'').
*** Even if we don't take those seriously, there's something romantic between Karim and Jari Sarasvuo. C'mon, everyone has surely noticed it. And of course there's always the scene between Veli and Karim at Sarasvuo's place, and that scene is full of Ho Yay, at least from Karim's side.

** Veli Sikiö, this troper would say. No one has talked about his sexuality, but he actually looks like a pretty stereotypical, angsty teen-gay. There's a couple of scenes, which could hint, that he isn't interested in women.
*** For example, when Karim said very matchmaker-ishly, that he wanted to introduce Veli for some lovely chicks, Veli just mumbled ”Whatever...”. I don't think that could be just because of Veli's ”so what” -attitude, normally he probably wouldn't had said anything. Now he actually said, that he didn't care.
*** When Veli was asked about his love life in ''”Huomenta Suomi”'' (''"Good Morning, Finland"''), he said ''”No comment. This is awkward for me at the moment.”''. Karim guessed it was because Veli had a crush... But what if it was because of something else..? Well, Veli actually said after Karim's crush-innuendo, that ''”we don't have to prattle here about our female-businesses”'', but that could be just cover. And, after all, Karim has female businesses, so it wouldn't be incorrect from Veli to say like that, even if he hadn't any interest in women.
** Also Jari Potsi. [[http://img.mtv3.fi/mn_kuvat/mtv3/ohjelmat/putous/hahmokuvat_2011/1062588.jpg The picture tells it better than thousand words]], doesn't it?

* ChickMagnet: Jaakko Saariluoma. And he [[EvenTheGuysWantHim get's the guys too]]. He's the love interest of several sketch characters, God knows why. Well, he is adorable and cute, maybe that's the reason. Poor Jaakko. The first one that fell for him was probably Raisa Reikänaama from the first season. Many other characters have at least some romantical or sexual subtext with him. I could make a little list about the most famous admirers of his; Raisa Reikänaama, Kete Rahkonen (they kissed once), Mr. Mallorca (subtext), Leena Hefner (the most dedicated and desperate, I suppose), Usko Eevertti Luttinen (subtext), Hieno Åhlgreen... Yeah. Jaakko gets the bitches.
* ConjoinedTwins: Veli and Sisko Sikiö, even thought they got separated already in the fifth episode of the fourth season. The funny thing is, that they are not identical, they're not even the same sex or age; Veli is 27 year old ”big brother” and Sisko is probably 14 year old ”little sister”. They didn't born the same time, Veli was pretty surely 12-13, when Sisko was discovered from his flank; at first doctors apparently thought Sisko was a tumor. How on earth did she grow and became a real human? No one knows. Sometimes Putous really scares this troper.

That makes the phrase ''"tulla uskoon"'' "tulla uskoon" (means starting to be a christian, but can also mean ''"come "come in Usko"'') Usko") pretty suspicious... And then there's his middle name and surname, "Eevertti Luttinen", sounds like "Evangelical Lutheran", doesn't it?
** From the fourth season, Sisko's and Veli's names mean simply "sister" and "brother". And they are Conjoined twins before they get separated. Their surname ''"Sikiö"'' "Sikiö" means fetus. A lovely sibling pair, gotta say.



** Karim Z. Yskowicz's middle name's first letter "Z" and his surname "Yskowicz" do make together "Zyskowicz", and Ben Zyskowicz is a Finnish politician. They have the same political party, ''"Kokoomus"'' (''"National Coalition Party"'').

'''Putous''' is a Finnish sketch comedy show. There have been already 4 seasons, the first was broadcasted on 2010. ''”Putous”'' means ''”Fall”'' or ''”Drop”'' in Finnish.
The first season was written and directed by '''Jani Volanen'''. On the seasons 2 and 3 the manuscript was written by '''Petteri Summanen'''. '''Miika Nousiainen''' also was there writing seasons 2 and 3, but he became the head writer not until on the fourth season. The second and the third season was directed by '''Petteri Summanen'''. '''Tuomas Summanen''' directed the fourth season.

Putous is pretty easily sliced in three parts; the actors/actresses, the sketches themselves and probably the most loved part, ''”The Sketch Character of the Year”''-competition (''”Vuoden sketsihahmokilpailu”'').

Putous-actors and -actresses are well known Finnish comedians. Five of them have been in Putous-cast since it started the first time; they are '''Aku Hirviniemi''', '''Krista Kosonen''', '''Jukka Rasila''', '''Riku Nieminen''' and of course '''Jaakko Saariluoma''', who also hosted the first and the fourth season.
Being in Putous-cast is a great opportunity to win Finnish people's hearts. For example Aku Hirviniemi and '''Armi Toivanen''' broke throught by Putous, nowadays almost everyone in Finland knows them.
Till the season four there always were nine people in the cast, but this year (2013) there were only eight; Hirviniemi, Kosonen, Rasila, Nieminen, Saariluoma, Toivanen, '''Jussi Vatanen''' and '''Iina Kuustonen'''. The hosting is arranged pretty much differently every year, only 2010 and 2013 were entirely led by Jaakko Saariluoma. On 2011 the host was '''Ville Myllyrinne''' and on 2012 everyone of the cast got their own leading-turn which was decided by that, who was on ''”Näytön paikka”'' in the episode. The host of The Sketch Character competition has always been Jaakko Saariluoma.

The biggest, or at least the most popular part of Putous is The Sketch Character contest. The idea is very simple; the actors and actresses create their own, humorous sketch characters and play them. Every week they get a little task to do with their characters. Almost every year there has been a talent show and a singing contest. Sometimes they also make a parody of already existing contest, like ''Series/StrictlyComeDancing'' or ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire''. Every week one character must be eliminated, people vote for their favourites via phones. In the final episode there's only two characters left and either one of them will be crowned the sketch character of the year. Already four characters do carry that title; ''Marja Tyrni'' (Aku Hirviniemi), ''Munamies'' (Riku Nieminen), ''Leena Hefner, nee Herppeenluoma'' (Armi Toivanen) and ''Karim Z. Yskowicz'' (Jussi Vatanen). Even the characters which don't win do get usually very much attention. It's not unusual for those characters to make a record or get their own TV-show. The happenings in the character competition often do cross the news treshold of papers and the slogans these characters say do root in the heads of Finnish people. Finns often actually fall in love with Putous-characters, and I don't wonder why. The actors/actresses do very good work at creating those little creatures. Even thought the competition is almost purely a joke for them, they still manage to make their characters admirably right; the characters make everyone laugh from little kids to grown-ups, they are easy to identify, very often they take a stance on current talking points, they are sometimes even [[TearJerker touching]] and there's always a little drama between the characters. They can threaten to kick your father's ass, fall in love, have gory fights and arguments, accidentally make their silicon breast explode, get ripped off their [[ConjoinedTwins Siamese twin]], get drunk, almost come out of the closet... Jaakko Saariluoma has jokingly stated that he hosts the competition because he doesn't need a sketch character, he already is one. Since he is the only ”normal” person in the ludicrous world of sketch characters, they often have a special relationship with him. There's also quite a bit of characters who could consider Jaakko as their love interest.

* FandomNod: I honestly think, that the little time Veli and Jaakko stood face-to-face after the ''”Let Me Entertain You”'' -song could be seen as a little fandom nod for the slash-fans. Like, girls like slash and girls like Veli Sikiö. The makers of this programme want to make the girls happy. So, they put there a little hint of slash between Veli and Jaakko; their faces were so close they almost kissed, but you probably didn't see it, if you didn't wear slash-goggles. So, the Putous-cast thinks about everything and loves us. Or at least in this little theory of mine.



* FandomNod: Aku Hirviniemi kisses other actors (and sometimes actresses) very much. He has kissed Riku Nieminen five times already. It's very possible Aku knows that fans love it, when he kisses people, and that's why he does it... That or he just likes kissing.
