Velipuolikuu

Velipuolikuu (lit. half-brother moon or brother half-moon, a pun in the form of a doubly compounded word) was a Finnish sketch comedy show that aired in 1983 on YLE. The series featured actors Pirkka-Pekka Petelius, Kari Heiskanen, Esko Hukkanen and Niko Saarela.

The show was the first major appearance by comedic actors Petelius and Aake Kalliala who starred in a number of other TV series for YLE during the 1980s before their highly successful collaboration on the competing MTV3-channel's Pulttibois program. The series featured many of their classic characters that would appear in many of their future shows (including Pulttibois).

One of the show's memorable parts became Pirkka-Pekka Petelius' rendition of Muistan sua Elaine (composed by Alvar Kosunen and written by Matti Jurva) which often played at the end of the show. The song became so popular that it was released the following year on an album by the same name.
