Improvisation content... What happened?
Hey guys! The Russian Improvisation fandom recieved some bad news and good news in the span of the last 4 months, and I would like to share them with you. They are quite important. First of all, I'm sad to tell you that the original show has been permanently closed. The show has aired for 8 seasons in nearly 7 years.
The reason for the show's closure is NOT its low ratings - Improvisation has been one of the most popular TV shows on the Russian television, and the fanbase keeps growing every day. In short, TNT's management team (the channel Impro was originally aired on) went through some changes, and the new team decided Improvisation had to go (which, in everyone's opinion, makes no sense). Sure, this news is dreadful, but I think the new changes make up for that.
Improvisation changed its name to Improvisators and moved to a different channel called STS and the new episodes started coming out last month! Not only that, but the episodes are now in open access on YouTube! This is great news to all of you who have been asking for the whole 40-minute episodes instead of 5-minute clips that I post here (the videos still aren't subbed though :( ).
I'm very excited to translate a clip from their new show format and I can't wait to show it to you!
Thank you all so much for your patience and have a nice day!
P.S. My friend in Moscow was on the set of their new show and she said she loved the changes. I hope you like it as well!
THIS ONE. This is my favourite episode of Improvisation. Hands down. I strongly recommend to watch this one with sound on! * — wooden spoons are actually a Russian traditional musical instrument. Nope, not joking. Here's a cool video that shows what these spoons look like and what they sound like: Russian Wooden Spoon (Musical Instrument Sound).
You have no clue how happy I am to be able to translate Improvisation for you guys again! Here's another great episode.
Another Improvisation post! Thank you for the feedback and the suggestions! Fun fact: Dr. Dolittle's name in Russian is Айболи́т (Aibolit) which is a combination of a Russian exclamation «Ай!» and the word «Боли́т» («hurts»). The Russian translators really wanted to make his name speak for itself so they literally named him «Ouch, (it) hurts».
I said I was gonna get back to translating when I'm done with my exams... Yet here we are!
If you've seen 'Who's Line Is It Anyway?' before then I probably don't have to explain the rules of 'Scenes From A Hat'.
Hope you enjoy! And thank you for being here ❤️
I can't express enough how much I love this show. Here's another great bit.
Here's another great bit from a Russian TV that I still love with my whole heart. The show "Improvisation" is basically the Russian version of "Whose line is it anyway?". If you want to learn about what the Russian sense of humor is like, this show is a must watch. After watching this video you will remember the word казус (kazus sing., m.) for the rest of your life.
Fun fact: this episode has become iconic and remains a huge meme in the Improvisation fandom (yes, this show has a fandom).
