Five strange and surreal moments in the history of Budapest TV

Some have forgotten, others can never forget. Some laughed wildly, had a blast watching, others blinked in horror at both of them, then grabbed the remote in the same way. Young people today may never have seen it, but many can still remember the low-cost and unpretentious programs. We remember with five videos the Budapest TV, founded 25 years ago, which until 2009 was available in many hundreds of thousands of homes.

The first is about to be a classic, impeccable in its genre. Lexike, who is not in the group of the top 10 million Hungarians in terms of sound, is trying to question Tom about the Anettka Space Project. There were probably problems with his vocal cords (as he had before in the troubled history of Budapest TV), so an exciting question was how it could be put on the screen: Was there no one outside the building who had not whispered loudly? snore?

His lack of preparation is pointed out by Tomi, who seems almost professional next to him, when the whispering woman mentions an astronaut module, the boy fixes it in a space capsule. The level of video material, which requires great entertainment, is reinforced by the fact that the already sharp conversation has changed, the parties can hardly hear each other.

You have to be very desperate if someone calls a “TV doctor” and pays thousands for a few minutes to call. Believers of credulity also have space on Budapest television, where, for example, a gentleman performs “phantom spine surgery”, without, of course, in the same county. it would be like a caller. “I’ll investigate it first,” said the man, to which the answer comes, “well, it doesn’t hurt!” The gaffe, surreal pose, continues with the gentleman asking what organ the patient is missing, but the lady assures him that he has all the organs – and then comes the “spinal surgery” that fits the cabaret joke, which is shocking, comical and sad at the same time.

In our third video, a lady who calls herself a fortune teller hears, or pretends to hear, the monotonous chatter of the caller, and does it all with a pained face. Around 12:20, she reaches for her glass to finally make something happen, but with bad regression, spitting, choking, as the caller continues to recount their problem without blinking.

“My colleague cannot help right now, I have been bad with the water,” says the poor woman, and it turns out that she is alone, even the cameraman probably went out to smoke a cigarette. “It was a very unpleasant thing,” she says at last. most viewers probably agree with him.

However, Budapest TV wasn’t just about fortune telling, it also tried to put fans of wedding music in front of a screen. Below is a small snippet of the level of entertainment, entertaining music – the shirt, jacket, movement, flawless in its kind, but as a parody of the genre. At 0:15 it turns out that the playback is over (plus the sound and picture have changed), but around 1:00 the crazy dance moves are approaching, it’s worth holding out until then.

Irrational laughter, screaming (from 1:33 onwards) and many other signs showed that Omara was a dandelion or, as one commenter points out, “drunk cat, crushed canned wine.” , to be called the Atlantean lightwalker and high priest, in contrast, Omara is only apostrophized as an Artist.

It’s like an excruciatingly cross-eyed distant relative at a family party that can even be fun between relatives, but like a stranger on a television screen, it’s quite a strange phenomenon.
