🎬 Masyanya Season 1 — Episode Guide

The Car Enthusiast

Getting from one end of this concrete maze to the other is no easy feat — especially when you live on Soldier Voskoboynikov Street.

A modem is a thing of wonder — useful, essential, and universally applicable. Use it at home, on the street, around the corner, in a dark alleyway... and it shall reward you beyond measure. :-)

The Commuter Train

Masyanya makes a living busking on commuter trains. Unconventional? Just a little. Restored animation from 2001. Back then Masyanya was pure punk — no filter, all chaos. The softer, more human side came later. This early incarnation is just straight-up trouble.

A questionable one. This episode is from the era when the cartoons were made not for an audience, but for a couple of friends — so there was no particular need to keep anything in check. Restored animation from 2001.

A simple little toon — but one that defined the entire direction of the character's development. And her gloriously mangled vocabulary, of course. Take notes on how to tell a joke. :))

Masyanya demonstrates how to quickly, simply, and accurately share your impressions of a visit to the free city of Amsterdam. :-)

Quite possibly the most controversial episode of the bunch — and, likely, the only one to have been translated into many major languages.

Masyanya and Splean

This episode came together spontaneously after a visit to a Splean concert at some dingy community center.

Little Letdowns

A psychological one. I think almost every guy out there can recall a similar episode from his own life.

An episode about "Friday" and "mani-hani." One of the most beloved and relatable ones — famous for the line "half an hour, no matter what."

An episode about Masyanya making a living by scamming passersby.

The episode famous for Masyanya's iconic cry "I wanna go out!!!!!" — and go out she does. This is actually the most typical scenario of a St. Petersburg night out: a wild start and a sad, but far from tragic — rather romantic — ending. Alone in a crowd.

Probably the most well-known episode — the one responsible for the now thoroughly overused catchphrases "let's go have a smoke-y-woke-y!" and "go to hell, director!"

The episode about "the thing" and "something like that." A situation pretty much everyone has found themselves in at some point.

A divisive episode about Moscow. It must be said — the city hasn't changed all that much. Still loud, chaotic, flashy, pop-cultured, and rude. Though of course, it all depends on where you're standing and how you look at it.

This episode — known for the iconic cry "a mug of cognac!" — became a fan favorite. Made in the aftermath of a night out at the Griboedov club. Ironic, to say the least.

A New Year's Fairy Tale

Made to ring in the New Year 2002. Also of historical interest: Masyanya rattles off what amounts to a nearly complete list of the most popular alternative clubs of the era.

The undisputed record holder for most quoted episode.

Made back when disposable pop hadn't yet completely consumed the Russian music industry. These days, what the cartoon talks about is hardly a secret — a producer who "wants to hear ass" doesn't raise an eyebrow anymore.

Yes, there was a time when downloading even a Masyanya cartoon — a mere 3–4 megabytes — could be a real ordeal. Dial-up modems were awful, connections dropped constantly. Sometimes, as in this cartoon, at the worst possible moment. The episode is also known for the catchphrase "stopudovo" — roughly ...
