Kontiovaara: "Long time no see, long time no hear, so call me Helen Keller."

Meet detective Kyösti Pöysti from Pasila, a cult tv-series that relies on tight, absurd and idiosyncratic language and depressing the suspects until they give up. Now there are fan-made subtitles to introduce this gem to the english misspelling world. Reetta Ruusu, The Orphant Dogs, For and against, Key player and lots more in related videos.

Notice that the subtitles have their own idiosyncrasies going on: dummy = pacifier.

Seems about on par with The Simpsons or Family Guy. Bring it over!
