Episode description and notes
Who Is Sergei? Born beneath the Kremlin and rumoured to be Vladimir Putin's nephew , Sergei Putinski is a man who has seen things you would not believe — mostly because they happened in 1987 and are no longer relevant. With an unwavering devotion to 80s American sitcoms and a firm conviction that the mobile phone peaked with the brick, Sergei navigates the bewildering modern world from behind the wheel of a beat-up Maserati, barking into a giant white cell phone. "What started as a throwaway side character has taken on a life of its own. Kind of wild when the side character is bigger than you." With over 200 million views online, appearances on Your Mom's House with Tom Segura , and a personal shout-out on Bill Burr's Instagram, Sergei Putinski has become a global cult favourite — even among people who cannot locate Russia on a map. He is Russia's only living comedian. Draw your own conclusions.
