Yesterday, December 30, the 17th episode of the Russian comedy show Comment Out was released on the Chicken Curry YouTube channel, featuring Ukrainian stars MONATIK and Nadya Dorofeeva. The episode was filmed in Kyiv for the first time.
Also, in the humorous musical intro of the episode, the familiar Alexander Gudkov was joined by Ukrainian rap star alyona alyona.
According to the rules, participants take turns drawing cards with a disgusting comment, a popular person and a punishment. Participants must choose what they will do: write the drawn comment under the latest photo on the drawn person's Instagram, or carry out the punishment. Under the new rules, a comment earns 2 points, and a punishment earns 1. If a participant writes a comment, their opponent may carry out its punishment and earn 1 point outside their own turn. In the final round, participants must call the drawn popular person and say the text from the drawn card, for which they earn 3 points.
The show is popular on Russian-language YouTube. The 17th episode with Monatik and Dorofeeva gained more than 1.5 million views within a day of publication. The previous 16 episodes averaged 4-5 million views. Show business stars who took part include Ivan Dorn, Evgeny Kulik, Nastya Ivleeva, Sasha Gudkov, Dima Bilan, Feduk, Katya Varnava, Nikolay Sobolev, Ida Galich, Kyivstoner, Dzhigan, Monetochka, Sasha Bortich and many others.
The Chicken Curry team called the episode a “special edition” (special issue — ed.), and at the beginning wrote: “This Comment Out episode is charged with a New Year's mood.” In the 17th episode, the main prize was a fridge filled with New Year and regular bottles of Martini sparkling wine, varenyky and chicken drumsticks. The consolation prize was a Sony PlayStation 4 Slim game console in a special Chicken Curry design.
SPOILERS
If you plan to watch the full episode, do not read the text below, because it contains spoilers.
In the first round, Monatik had to write a comment to Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usyk: “As Sofia Rotaru said, you are a real star if you can loudly fart in a full elevator and nobody tells you off. So, I've only been a star 3 times out of 8 so far, and you?”, while tagging Rotaru's account.
Punishment — drink a shot without using your hands and eat a slice of lard from the belly of a heavyset person lying on the table.
Monatik wrote the comment, and Dorofeeva carried out the punishment instead of him. She ate 2 pieces of lard from the nipples and drank a shot of liquid — presumably alcohol. As she herself said, it was vodka.
Dorofeeva got Ukrainian singer Svetlana Loboda and the comment: “I believe that cremation is the only right ritual. After all, you can pour the ashes into a cat's litter tray, and the person will be pissed on posthumously.”
Punishment — find a key in a container of used diapers.
Dorofeeva wrote the comment, and Monatik carried out the punishment instead of her. There was no key in there originally, but the singer managed to dig around in the used diapers.

Monatik drew a card with Filipp Kirkorov and the comment “No normal person who has money will stand up for animal rights. Natural fur is pure bliss, it's just that bums can't understand, that's why they stink.”
Punishment — put a bag of coal on your head and shake it.
The comment proved too anti-moral for Monatik, so he carried out the punishment. Although he was given a raincoat and a plastic cap, his face still got completely covered in coal.
Dorofeeva got producer Konstantin Meladze and the comment “Everyone in a marriage has a wandering thought: ‘What if your other half dies in an accident?’ I think about it and I'm very scared, because I experience such an awesome thrill!!!”.
Punishment — pour plaster over both legs in special basins.
Dorofeeva also could not bring herself to write such a comment, so she decided to carry out the punishment. At some point the plaster hardened, but she kept standing in the basins. Later her legs hurt, so the plaster had to be urgently broken off.
Monatik 4 : 4 Dorofeeva
Monatik got Kyiv mayor Vitaly Klitschko with the comment “I love being on the jury of contests where there are children. It charges me up, I envy their strong characters. After all, they believe they are talented, when in fact they are the most vile incompetents.”
Punishment — the participant crawls under a carpet for 30 seconds while a housewife hits him with a carpet beater saying “bad cat!”.
Monatik again showed his moralism and refused to write such a comment about children, so he crawled under the carpet.
Dorofeeva got Ukrainian singer Jamala and the comment “A million people have already written to you!!! Time to listen! Stop wasting money down the drain!! Help the children instead!!!”.
Punishment — post a black-and-white photo of Potap with the caption “Very, very sorry... RIP” on your Instagram feed (not stories).
Dorofeeva was shocked both by the comment and by the punishment. At first she tried to haggle for small letters “RIP” and was already ready to post Potap's photo in stories, but she was reminded that the post had to be in the feed. In the end she wrote the comment to Jamala.
Monatik 5 : 6 Dorofeeva
Monatik got Vera Brezhneva with the comment “You said herpes isn't transmitted!!! I have a family romantic evening today, how do you propose I make excuses?? I'll spread my buns and everything will be visible!!”.
Punishment — the opponent attaches 30 clothespins to your face, after which you must congratulate viewers on the New Year for one minute.
Monatik laughed at the comment and, it seems, was ready to write it, but the last photo on Brezhneva's account turned out to be a photo of a child. Moralism won again, and Dorofeeva together with the host clipped clothespins onto Monatik's face.
Dorofeeva drew a card with producer Yuri Bardash and the comment “We live in the 21st century. Let's maybe think about women too? Understand — if she decided to get rid of the fetus, that's her business! It's her choice to go to hell! So hands off Natasha Koroleva!” The participant had to “tag” Koroleva in the comment.
Punishment — put on a black robe, place your hand on the skull of a goat or cow, take an oath to Satan, and then drink the blood.
Dorofeeva was shocked again, but the comment turned out to be a harder test for her, so she took the oath. The blood, by the way, according to the host, was “cherry”. And Dorofeeva sang the text of the oath cheerfully.
Monatik 6 : 7 Dorofeeva
Monatik got Olga Buzova and the text “You're a cool influencer. People listen to you. I have a request. We have an environmental campaign going on. Could I ask you to post a story or a post? With the call ‘don't throw away old dildos and sex toys together with organic waste. They end up in the ocean and suffocate dolphins’. Do you understand? A dildo plugs the dolphins' blowholes, and they stop breathing. Will you do it?”.
Punishment — the participant puts a tin bucket on his head, and the opponent shoots at it with a slingshot using large hard olives 5 times.
And although Monatik's punishment didn't scare him at all, he decided to call Buzova. They had not known each other personally, and at first she even blocked him, but then the conversation took place. Whether Buzova didn't understand about the “dildo” or just played along, she asked him to send a collage for a post to her messenger.
Dorofeeva got Anna Sedokova, to whom she had to tell about her bathhouse escapades with other men and ask for advice, because the other woman supposedly had something like that too.
Punishment — sniff the breath of 5 men until you determine which of them is intoxicated.
Dorofeeva called Sedokova. It turned out that it was her birthday; the participant congratulated the “victim”, but Sedokova still had to listen to the text to the end. She said that she would definitely “discuss penises later” with Dorofeeva.
Monatik decided to carry out Dorofeeva's punishment to draw. In the end he gave her the main prize as a housewarming gift with Dantes, and he received the consolation prize himself. Both participants received a set of iron eggs as a souvenir.
