Filip Sulík Slams Lasica and Satinský as Not Funny

The provocative remarks targeted figures who represent the absolute peak of Slovak culture and are considered by generations to be an untouchable phenomenon.

Milan Lasica (†80) and Július Satinský (†61) brought a new and previously unseen kind of humor to the stage, built on an intellectual foundation, subtlety, and brilliant wordplay. Using irony, metaphor, and absurdity, they accurately named the social and political shortcomings of totalitarianism as well as negative national traits, combining the roles of popular comedians and publicly respected intellectuals. Instead of showing respect, Filip Sulík—known for building his career on provocations and mocking public figures—offered a harsh denigration of their lifelong work in his latest statement.

Arogantné Vyjadrenie vo Videu

In his video, the son of a well-known politician expressed complete dismissal of the theatrical and film greats, stating openly: Lasica a Satinský, nehnevajte sa, ale Lasica a Satinský nikdy nepovedali nič vtipné. Nikdy. Sorry not sorry. Videl som veľa ich predstavení, nikdy som sa ani len nepousmial na humore Lasicu a Satinského.

Spochybnenie Diela a Umenia

Sulík went further in his online broadcast by questioning whether the duo’s work should even be taught or considered timeless art. While acknowledging that they existed and had some influence on development, he dismissed the idea of treating them as incredible artists. Akože jasné, že ja rešpektujem, že boli a že mali nejaký vplyv na ten vývoj všetkého, okej, ale učiť sa to? Načo? Proste považovať to za nejaké nadčasové diela? Načo? Robiť z nich tiež nejakých neuveriteľných umelcov? To si nemyslím, he declared.
