History YMMV / Pasila

* HarsherInHindsight: In July 2016, Lauri Karhuvaara was laid off from ''MTV3'', making the episode ''Perikato'' this. However, he took the news fairly well, while his Cartoon counterpart outright disappeared and attempted suicide.

* BrokenBase: The announcement of an official English dub has fans (both Finnish and otherwise) divided on whether it will be good or not. One of the major complaints from Finns is that they're localising all the names (with the exception of Helga) and the voices themselves aren't always true to the originals: Repomies sounds somewhat more world-weary and aggressive, while Routalempi sounds much more easily exciteable, which kinda goes against his droning nature.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: On occasion. The brothel episode comes to mind... See also the Repomies example at CowboyCop in the main article.
** The MurderSimulator that Pöysti plays. A mission involving killing Pandas? Dark. Then we hear the sound effects...

* HilariousInHindsight: Semi-example. On March 21, 2011, several conservative Christian organizations in Finland launched a campaign called "Don't Submit!", aimed at teenagers and essentially telling them that they can be "cured" from homo- or bisexuality if they believe in God. On that very same day, the Pasila episode "Sect", which revolves around a conservative, anti-gay Christian group, was aired... Counts because the episode was (of course) made before the writers had any way of knowing about the campaign.
* HoYay: The episode with the first legal whorehouse in Finland eventually devolves into this: [[spoiler: due to its legal status and because of Repomies' family that can't leave it alone for various reasons which causes him to blackmail Kyösti into alternatively helping and hindering it, the whorehouse is eventually disallowed to choose its customers or employers in any way because it would count as discrimination, causing males to sign up to work there for obvious reasons and stereotypical gay men to line up as customers as a result. This culminates in a (thankfully) unshown orgy where the best friends of the said men will repeatedly make love to them until the said stereotypical gay men get tired of waiting and leave since they don't want their best friends to be "taken advantage of by a bunch of perverted old gay men".]]

--> '''Pöysti's Date''': Can I ask you one thing?
--> '''Pöysti''': Only once, I was in the army, and we were all drunk.
--> '''Date''': What?
--> '''Pöysti''': Nothing, go on!

*** In episode "Repomies, A Real Man": When Pöysti explains to Neponen why Salonius plays with the police and doesn't dig his robbery loot up:
--> '''Neponen:''' I can't think of anything else.
--> '''Pöysti:''' Oh, Neponen. Endearingly naive Neponen. Because he doesn't have that loot.

* AnimationAgeGhetto: Averted. The show is both marketed for and enjoyed by adults. (And kids, but a lot of stuff will go over their heads.)

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: 3 of the 5 main characters had much deeper voices in the early seasons. Routalempi also seemed to make slight pauses every 2-4 words or so.

* HarsherInHindsight: In July 2016, Lauri Karhuvaara was laid off from ''Huomenta Suomi'', making the episode ''Perikato'' this. However, he took the news fairly well, while his Cartoon counterpart outright disappeared and attempted suicide.

* {{Flanderization}}: Both Pöysti and Repomies. In first season, despite their respective faults, both at least try to be competent police officers. Since then, Pöysti has became more self absorbed {{jerkass}} who seems to dislike his own work, whilst Repomies has gone full {{cloud cuckoo lander}}. Interestingly, most of the side characters (especially Routalempi who started as one note joke character) have gone to the opposite direction.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: When Repomies, after spending the entire episode giving Pöysti progressively more demeaning and exhausting tasks in order to establish his authority after Pöysti refused to do the mopping since technically it's not part of his job, actually tries to get Pöysti to stop mopping because he worries it'll make Pöysti seem like the moral victor, Pöysti defies him by singing... a surprisingly well-pronounced rendition of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen", ''in English''. He then later moves on to other songs, all English, singing loudly over Repomies's pleas for him to stop and attempts to wrestle the mop away from him.

* BrokenBase: The announcement of an official English dub has fans (both Finnish and otherwise) divided on whether it will be good or not. One of the major complaints from Finns is that they're localising all the names (with the exception of Helga).
