One of the main thoughts that we constantly try to convey is that this kind of content is not created out of stupidity or unprofessionalism. On the contrary, all that vulgarity, idiocy and immorality - this is the real vector of the goal for which the TNT channel is very successfully working.

If you look at the audience reviews for this series, then most of them fall into two categories. The first are stamped praises, made according to the same template and clearly bought through the comment exchange and various sites that promote on the Internet. The second ones are made in the style of surprise and misunderstanding how such content could get on TV. These reviews often contain accusations of stupidity, primitiveness and unprofessionalism of the creators of the series, since the absurdity of what is shown on the screen is obvious from the first frames. However, to believe that such content is ordered and created by amateurs or non-professionals is a big mistake that arises from a misunderstanding of the goals and effect of showing such images to a mass audience. We will talk about these goals in our review, having dealt with what the sitcom Deffchonki teaches.

The series has been broadcast since 2012 on TNT. To date, 5 seasons have already been aired, the main target audience is teenagers and young people. In the review, we mostly use plots and footage from the first and last seasons to show that for 4 years, apart from the quality of the picture, in semantic terms, nothing has changed. Let's start by getting to know the main characters - these are 4 girls. They have names, but they are called mainly by nicknames - Bobilych, Palna, Vasya and Lyolya. Let's immediately pay attention to how the heroines communicate. The manner of communication, nicknames and even the very name of the series, made with a mistake, very accurately characterize the characters depicted, who, with all their appearance and behavior, discredit the beautiful half of humanity.

What behaviors do these protagonists broadcast to viewers?

According to the plot, all four girls came to Moscow from Saratov and arrange their lives here. Three of them, with varying degrees of success, are trying to conquer the capital through bed - that is, they either sleep with just anyone, or sell their bodies, and the fourth dreams of becoming a singer and goes to any tricks for this. According to the creators of the sitcom, their series is primarily about love. Well, let's demonstrate how "love" is shown in the Deffchonka series. The topic of sex, one way or another, appears in every episode, and in terms of the amount of airtime devoted to it, it is the main one in the series. However, the meanest thing is not even that the image of a licentious, boorish and lustful female is shown as an uncontested norm, but that all this endless jumping from bed to bed is positioned on the one hand as a manifestation of love and lofty feelings, and on the other - as perfect routine or even the physiological need of the body.

The series tries to justify vulgarity and licentiousness with the illusion of lofty feelings and the physiological needs of the body

The first option is symbolized by the girl Masha, or rather, Bobilych. In a way, she is even depicted as a romantic and dreamy person who, despite her certain modesty and education as a philologist, since the first episode, sleeps with everyone in a row, supposedly sincerely sympathizing with her boyfriends. By the 5th season, Bobilych is already pregnant and on the eve of the wedding she goes to the club to realize her unfulfilled dream - to kiss the mulatto. The second option for treating sex as a kind of physiological need that must be realized regardless of whether you have a loved one or not is symbolized by Palna. She is literally constantly concerned that she lacks intimate relationships, and for this reason she tries to drag anyone who looks at her into bed. Much of the humor in the series is devoted precisely to the fact that almost no one wants to sleep with her. The third heroine, blonde Lyolya, is simply shown as a kept woman using sex to manipulate a male oligarch and ensure her high standard of living.

A very interesting feature: in almost every episode, the heroines are necessarily shown in underwear, sometimes without it, or in some other way they focus on the girls' forms.

As always in TV series, TNT does not do without scenes with alcohol consumption, which are mandatory in each episode. This is a standard technology of taking away sobriety and introducing the viewer to the ideology of cultural drinking, sponsored by alcohol companies. In addition to vulgarity, alcohol and stupidity, the series is full of other immoral patterns of behavior. The main characters are all the time fixated on conversations about money, clothes and excess weight - a significant part of the plot revolves around these topics. And such negative character traits as the ability to lie, or to achieve goals with meanness and cynicism, are shown in the film as a very valuable and useful skill.

To summarize, Deffchonka's series aims to:

• propaganda of stupidity
• propaganda of sex and vulgarity
• discrediting the image of a woman
• primitivization of speech
• alcohol promotion
• propaganda of deceit and cynicism

All this is traditionally covered with a mask of primitive and flat humor, which ensures the formation of a positive emotional background in the viewer, contributing to the acceptance of the demonstrated patterns of behavior.

One of the main thoughts that we constantly try to convey to a wide audience is that such content is not created out of stupidity or unprofessionalism. On the contrary, all that vulgarity, idiocy, and immorality that this series brings to the masses is the real vector of the goal for which the scriptwriters, producers and management of the TNT channel are working very successfully. And it is for this that they receive patches that are orders of magnitude higher than the average salary in the country, for their professionalism and for their meanness, for their willingness to use their skills and experience to mortify and corrupt young people. The network has repeatedly published the fact that at the height of the Great Patriotic War, a German doctor who examined girls at the age of 16-20 who were driven away from the USSR to Germany, was extremely surprised that 90% of them were virgins. For this reason, he turned to Hitler with an appeal to immediately begin peace negotiations with the USSR, writing that it was impossible to defeat a people with such high morality. Those who are filming such series today know perfectly well which side they are fighting on.
