Foreword

In KVN, everything happens differently than in normal people. Although normal people have their own reasonable traditions. For example, textbooks are republished every year, each time correcting and supplementing.

This book has gone through three editions. And this is not the limit, comrades! After all, KVN changes with our lives, which means that the process of improvement is endless!

The most amazing thing is this book, most of which was written six or seven years ago, KVN workers continue to read and even argue that reading this still implies not only historical interest, but also practical benefits.

Our days

Today's KVN is just as different from KVN 50 years ago as the first television receivers with a lens are unlike modern devices with a flat screen, dolby surround sound and other bells and whistles. But still. How did it all start?

1956

Like a bolt from the blue XX Congress of the CPSU. Stalin's personality cult exposed. There is no “Sovremennik” and “Taganka” yet, the songs of Okudzhava and Vysotsky still do not sound from all windows, but freedom has already been breathed in the country. Moscow becomes the capital of the World Festival of Youth and Students. Young heads are already full of happy hopes, creative projects...

Here you can ask your questions to CEO AMIK, editors of the Major League of KVN, employees of the PR department and administrators of the site amik.ru.

If you do not know who exactly you need to address your question, select "Just a question" in the form. In this case, the administrators will either independently determine who is authorized to answer your question, or they will answer themselves.

WHY WE ALL LOVE WORKOUT

The magic of the warm-up is quite understandable: when a small masterpiece of wit is born on the stage right before your eyes - it amazes, it attracts, it makes you want to continue. For the same reasons, in any company set up for entertainment, a hohmach who instantly reacts to events will be guaranteed to be surrounded by increased attention.

It is believed that about 5% of people are creators, and, accordingly, about 95% are consumers. And these consumers are fascinated by what the creators are doing. They envy, hate, criticize, use, turn up their noses, but they always look in order to envy, criticize, use or hate again later. And most viewers also fit this scheme. They do not have the same speed of creation as the players standing on the stage, and therefore are delighted with the first-hand observed acts of creation.

What do movie directors do to maximize the climax? That's right: turn on the timer. No matter how trite it may seem, but the reception with a timer works almost always. And so the acts of creation, driven not only in 30 seconds, but also in a state of competition with other teams, sharpen the perception of what is happening. And, just like in a good movie, the audience will appreciate an act that combines speed, surprise, meaning, and quality of performance.

All of this theoretically makes the warm-up watchable, entertaining, and essential for a game show on stage. In theory…

WHAT DO WE REALLY COMPETE IN THE WARM-UP?

Like KVN itself, the warm-up has been transformed. If at the second dawn of KVN, in 1987-90, spectators and players valued resourcefulness and gaiety equally, then, starting from about the millennium, resourcefulness loses to gaiety.

Warm-up in the final 1986-87. "Odessa Gentlemen" vs MKhTI (timing 38m21s):

Warm-up in the Major League of KVN 2003, 1/2 finals, Day One (timing 5m49s):

This is a general trend - it can be observed not only in the warm-up. The essence of the viewer's requests to KVN for 30 years has gradually shifted to a radical position "if it's not funny, then it's bad."

Beautiful answers, suggesting intellectual superiority over the opponent, now most often cause nothing more than a smile or, even worse, just an understanding of what was said from the stage. Much more often ridiculous phrases related to a particular character and his image, or some kind of “jokes” that have successfully come to mind, similar to natural chatter, cause laughter.

Reflection Questions #1: Does it make sense to make it mandatory to have an improvisational contest in which teams compete to make the audience laugh by any means? Or should the transformation of the content of the warm-up also change the value of this competition for the outcome of the game?

Since improvisation (let alone funny improvisation) cannot be infinitely successful, warm-ups cannot be always funny. Too many external factors influence the act of creation and its perception.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM THE COMPETITION WHERE FART COMPETES WITH STRESS?

For the viewer, the warm-up is great entertainment. Spectators are comfortably seated in the hall and expect a feast of humor. Exactly at the same time, the warm-up for the team is stressful.

If any of you got into extreme situation, remember your state, remember how quickly the right course of action came to your mind and how you implemented it. Could you come up with a good joke in such a state?

In order to be in an optimal mood and produce results in the warm-up, the team must "get lucky" in many ways. For starters, this is the mood of the team itself, the audience and the jury. The mood of the team is influenced by everything that preceded the game and happened on it: the individual characteristics of experiencing stress, the process of writing and staging other competitions from the idea to the dress rehearsal, the emotional baggage of each player with which he approached the game.

“Lucky” should also be in questions. Not every question can be adequately answered and joked about. When a team plays against a team, that is, asks its own question, and later voices its own answer, the last thing it wants is for the opponent's answer to be funny. And therefore, with such a scheme, the viewer can hear questions formulated in such a way as to be as uncomfortable as possible for the opponent's improvisation. This means that the number of successful answers will tend to a minimum.

When questions are asked by the viewer, they can be different: lack of originality, poor wording, strange themes, and just plain stupid. As a result, we get a warm-up in which the teams joke not on the topic of the question, but on the person asking the question himself, to those who were before him, or cling to the jury members.

Questions for reflection #2: Does it make sense to wait for a stream of masterpieces among jokes invented in a stressful situation and to uncomfortable questions? Or should we treat this competition as a lottery, in which there are initially only a few winning tickets?

DONT KNOW TO PLAY WARM-UP - A BAD KAVENER?

Imagine the following situation: Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy and Anton Pavlovich Chekhov agreed to amuse the audience with an unusual attraction. Under the terms of the attraction, both writers must invent and tell very short stories on given topics. They have no more than 30 seconds to think about each story. As a result, Lev Nikolaevich almost lost out to Anton Pavlovich.

Is Tolstoy a bad writer? Unlikely. Nevertheless, labels are often hung in the KVN environment: if you know how to play a warm-up - the “god” of KVN, if you don’t know how - a bad KVN player.

Among the kaveenschikov there are people with completely different characters. We will not delve too deeply into psychology and conditionally divide all KVN members into extroverts and introverts. An extrovert KVN officer is impulsive, active, receptive, resourceful, that is, he likes to come up with a joke, tell it right away and immediately feel the reaction. Naturally, his element is a warm-up. And an introverted Kaveenshchik does not follow sudden impulses, loves order, likes to think everything over, that is, repeatedly weigh all thoughts and formulations and choose the most beneficial, perhaps dramatic presentation. His element - staging competitions. Which of these two is a bad KVN officer? The result of whose work is more valuable?

Reflection Questions #3: Is 30 Second Jokes the ultimate measure of creative value, superior to 30 Day Jokes, is this product worth 6 points, is this product superior to other competitions in terms of intellectual investment? Or should the priorities be reversed?

THIS IS ONLY INTRO

The list of questions raised is not final. From now on, we will call such starting reflections on the INTRO topic, because they are precisely the intro to further discussion, for which the comments below are open. You only need to log in.

We know that there are those who are convinced that the warm-up is the main measure of the quality of the team, so it should be in every game. There are also viewers who believe that the warm-up in classical form no longer relevant. So which one is right?

Absolutely everyone knows what KVN is. The World Game, in which not only young people take part, but also older comedians, ranks first among all comedy television shows. KVN team Russian Federation takes part in games with other countries. For some comedians, this is just entertainment, but for some, over the years, it turns into a profession.

What is KVN?

The most popular TV show with a humorous bias at the moment takes first place on television. This game is watched by young children, teenagers and adults. You can talk a lot about what KVN is and how it earned popularity. But every inhabitant of the planet knows that this is a good way to have a great evening and laugh heartily.

Universities, enterprises, various schools have the opportunity to take part in KVN. Major League accepts only the best players, giving them more motivation to create new jokes and improve their performances. The guys create miniatures, skits and interesting numbers on their own and this will make quite a lot of people around the world laugh. The main competitions are:

Business card. The team of participants is given a specific topic, on the basis of which they must introduce themselves, as well as own city. Of course, all this should be in a humorous form.
Warm up. The jury, opponents and people from the audience ask certain questions, to which the participants must find the most ridiculous answer in a short period of time.
Homework (from 3 to 7 minutes, the team must present a story invented on its own, with musical inserts).
One song contest (the final stage, where participants choose absolutely any song, remake it in a humorous way and present it to the audience).

In addition, there are also video contests, as well as biathlon and triathlon. But they are not used in every game. Although the rules in them are just as cruel and only professionals in their field can cope with them.

Transmission prototype

Some time before the moment when the Club of the cheerful and resourceful appeared on the screens, there was a similar program called "Evening of cheerful questions." Here questions were asked to the audience and members of the jury, and, of course, humor was evaluated. V Soviet time it was the most popular and fun show that everyone loved to watch, and many would like to take part in it.

Despite the fact that this program was very popular, it was aired only three times. The presenters decided to hold an interesting contest, where the audience had to visit the studio in a fur coat and with the New Year's newspaper of the previous year. But, unfortunately, they forgot to mention the newspaper when the competition was announced, so the next day the hall was filled with a huge number of people in winter outerwear. After this point, confusion began, and the program was closed.

Humorous TV programs at any time were in the first place for family circles who love to spend time together. Therefore, KVN and its prototype have gained really great popularity.

Leading

Albert Axelrod was appointed the first leader in the Club of cheerful and resourceful, but after three years he left this game. After him, Alexander Maslyakov took the place of the host. At that time, he was not broadcasting alone, but together with the announcer Svetlana Zhiltsova. It was after the arrival of a new host in the KVN game that teams began to compete.

Due to uncertain circumstances, the program was closed due to incomprehensible pressure from the ministry on the organizers, but the game soon recovered and began to gain popularity. There is only one presenter left - Alexander Maslyakov. Initially, he came to the game as a student, but now he is already an experienced host and comedian.

Rules of the game

Laid-back and fairly simple rules apply to the game. Each KVN team must consist of more than two people, and one of them must be the captain. The host of the game independently comes up with contests, adding new ones over time, in which all teams must take part.

Participants must joke in each of these contests and receive jury marks (from 1 to 5). Based on the results of each competition, GPA. Then they are summed up. And, accordingly, the team with the highest result wins.

Famous members

All young viewers and teams are interested in what kind of participants were in the early years of KVN. The Major League is really proud of these people, as the hall was always filled with laughter during their appearance on stage.

Between 1960-80, Julius Gusman, Gennady Khazanov, Arkady Inin, Mikhail Zadornov became memorable players.
In the 80s, Valdis Pelsh, Mikhail Marfin, Sergey Sivokho made people laugh,
Since the 90s, Garik Martirosyan, Alexander Pushnoy, Andrey Rozhkov, Dmitry Brekotkin have become popular.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Timur Batrudinov, Alexander Revva, Igor Kharlamov, Mikhail Galustyan, Pavel Volya, Timur Rodriguez, Natalya Yeprikyan were remembered on stage.
Per last years The audience rejoiced at the appearance on stage of such actors as Olga Kortunkova, Igor Lastochkin, Azamat Musagaliev, Maxim Kiselev, Ivan Abramov, Denis Dorokhov, and many others.

Special Games

It is always scary for every participant to play in KVN for the first time, because it is difficult to take a huge number of people calmly. But this never stopped the guys, and they still continued to go on stage, make the audience laugh and get points.

In addition to the main games, there were also additional ones, that is, special ones:

"Voicing KiVin" is a music festival.
Birthday of the game KVN.
Summer Cup.

Each of the additional games brought a storm of emotions to both spectators and team members. The best players for a certain time took part here, so the jokes were always funny, and the audience did not have sad expressions.

Champions

What is KVN without champions and favorites? The Premier League, the First League, the CML League, the Pacific League and the Siberian League can boast of those people who really deserved the awards.

In 2003, the KVN team "Region-13" from Saransk and "Left Bank" from Krasnoyarsk became champions.
In 2004 and 2005 the best were "Maximum" from Tomsk and Moscow "Megapolis".

1. The science of rest

DN: - And the God of drinking - Let's go!
DN: - Beat!

DN: And the spear?

G: - As for rest, as such, the Slavs never rested. Although all the surrounding nations asked them about it.

2. Pyrotechnician

Grigory Malygin and Dmitry Nikulin come out to the music "Put me to sleep". Dmitry holds a scarf-towel in his hands, on which lie a plaid cap and bread.

G: - Today, 3 teams play on this stage, 3 nationalities - Armenians, Slavs and dumplings. We'll talk about the Slavs.

DN is playing a song in Russian folk style.
G. shuts him up and shakes his finger.

G: - Or rather, about the rest of the Slavs. Two words about who the Slavs are. This people in ancient times occupied a vast territory - thanks to their ability to dance in round dances ...

DN tries to drag out the song again.

G: - Here I have ... utensils of that time.
DN: - Utensils in this case are written together!
G: - And for two hundred years, as it is not a curse. As you know, the Slavs were pagans. For each type of activity they were supposed to have according to God. So, the God of appetite is known - Zhor, the God of sleep - Massa ...
DN: - And the God of drinking - Let's go!
G: - It is curious that the Slavs used everything that they did not drink for food. Agriculture and cattle breeding were well known to the Slavs, so they did not engage in them. The Slavs did not know how to trade. And those who can...
DN: - Beat!
G: Billy. The main occupation of the Slavs was criticism of other peoples, for whom everything went well due to their lack of spirituality. Slav women were given in marriage sooner or later.
DN: - Depending on whether the tribe was resting or drinking!
G: - Young Slavs wore a talisman in the form of panties under their clothes.
DN: – The Slavs themselves did NOT wear shorts.
G: - The Slavs were a freedom-loving people - they were often driven into slavery, but they did not work there either.
G: - The observation of the Slavs is evidenced by at least the fact that Tatar yoke they noticed right away... as soon as it started. And immediately a wave of people's liberation grumbling and betrayal arose!
G: - The armament of a warrior of that time was a spear and bast shoes. The warrior kicked with his bast shoes...
DN: And the spear?
G: - And he held on to the spear. When enemies appeared, the Slavs closed the door to the city and pretended that they were not there. If the enemies began to climb into the city through the walls, then the Slavs poured obscenities and pitch on them.
DN: - And when they did climb over, the Slavs apologized and showed the prince who invented it all!
G: - As for rest, as such, the Slavs never rested. Although all the surrounding nations asked them about it.
