Swiat Według Kiepskich (seasons 13-29)

Świat według Kiepskich (The World According to the Kiepskis,[1] "kiepski" could be roughly translated to the English term poor or shoddy) is a Polish television sitcom that premiered by on March 16, 1999 on Polsat. The show follows the life of a dysfunctional Polish family from Wrocław. Most episodes are centered on Ferdynand Kiepski, the family's patriarch, who schemes to improve his financial or life situation, but in most cases ultimately fails. The series is a parody of stereotypical lifes of Polish families in a style similar to that of the US series Married... with Children, released in Poland as Świat według Bundych (The World According to the Bundys).

Since Season 13, since the introduction of Jolasia Pupcia, it severely went downhill.

Why It Sucks Now

 * 1) For starters, this once smash hit show from Poland jumped the shark after introducing Jolasia. She is a loud-mouthed, abusive, foul-tempered, creepily sexual, immature and controlling wife. Her jokes associated with her are often based on either torturing and bullying Waldemar or sexual innuendos. She also became a cash cow, because she is crammed alongside Waldek into plenty of episodes for cheap attempts at humour, even if it doesn't fit or is getting focused on them. Overall, she's basically a Polish-Flavoured Jeffy, or if Jeff FecalMan was the main character. Even her 2nd Name Pupcia feels very inappropriate for the sitcom.
 * 2) There's several problems with the characters as they got either flanderized or retooled to the point, that they became a cliched jerk-ass cast to the levels of modern SML;
 * 3) *Ferdek went from a lazy, yet creative and optimistic man with a plan with many zany schemes to earn a quick buck without putting too much work, to the stereotypical grouchy, pessimistic, insufferable and extremely lazy bum, who doesn't want to do the simplest task and constantly rants about everyone and everything. He also shows almost no respect to anyone around him, even his own family.
 * 4) *Halina Kiepska went from the only sane woman in her family to a spendthrift who won't hesitate to spend crazy amounts of money on completely pointless things, like a car, dinners etc. She also got dumbed down to near Mr. Turner levels, all for lazy attempts at comedy.
 * 5) *Waldek Kiepski suffers the worst case from all, as he went from a goofy, yet lovable son, to a spineless, foul tempered pushover, who gets routinely abused by his wife, and despite how many times she humiliated and bullied him, he still denies reality of their relationship and doesn't see Jolasia as threat. He often loses control and goes into a mental breakdown every time when Jolasia gets enraged, all because of his fear of losing her. What's worse, all the unnecessary torment is played for the sake of cheap humour. One question: Why would Waldek cry over a losing a person, who treats him like garbage, bullies, humiliates and insults him in the first place? He can be summed up as a Polish Brenda Quagmire.
 * 6) *Mariola Kiepska often is reduced to a background character or pure filler.
 * 7) *Arnold Boczek and Marian Pazdzioch went from comic reliefs with either funny lines or good morals to unfunny idiots, whose screen time is reduced to minimum.
 * 8) Since this show got new writers, the writing often relies on mean-spirited humor, sexual innuendos, tons of filler, and boring talk scenes.
 * 9) * There are episodes that are build on sexual jokes, that feel more like an approved adult parody. Jolasia's cash cow status doesn't help either.
 * 10) * Some episodes feel like they don't have a plot at all and feel like they are completely dropped in the last minute. In several episodes, only a small part is the actual plot of these episodes, while the rest are the crappy jokes stitched together.
 * 11) * They often have confusing, mean-spirited, nonsensical and out-of-nowhere endings.
 * 12) There's several problems with the humor and jokes, because those elements became flat, lazy, gross or just pointless.
 * 13) * Dinner scenes are obviously added into episodes, just to shoehorn Jolasia and Waldek for lazy attempts at humour.
 * 14) * Jolasia's sexualized characterization and humor tries too hard to appeal to the male part of the audience, but fails miserably, to the point where she feels more like she escaped from a budget adult parody.
 * 15) * Also, she tries to appeal to the younger audience with her being a parody of YouTubers, who even shamed and scared Waldek as a part of a prank video. Plus camera kissing.
 * 16) * Scenes with Jolasia and Waldek often have no big impact or meaning in the story-line aside from cheap humour, you can remove them, and there will be no difference.
 * 17) * Waldek's Butt-Monkey status is also overused as well.
 * 18) * Even humor that doesn't fall into this territory is often unfunny and boring.
 * 19) For the reasons above, there's many bad or outright terrible episodes:
 * 20) * Wysokie Obcasy
 * 21) *Człowiek bez Planu. (arguably the worst episode of the bunch)
 * 22) * Troll
 * 23) * Piętnaście Minut (the most sexualized episode)
 * 24) * Totto Pronto
 * 25) * Ciapciaki
 * 26) * Warszawa
 * 27) *Dziki Dziad
 * 28) *Dzień Ojca (a terrible way to celebrate 500 episodes)
 * 29) *Lśnienie
 * 30) *Boże Skrawki
 * 31) Aside from Jolasia, there are also many new pointless characters like:
 * 32) * Mikolaj Kopernik
 * 33) * Badura
 * 34) * Junkyard Workers
 * 35) * Janusz Pażdzioch
 * 36) Production values of the show also declined:
 * 37) * Greenboxes are often lazily and cheaply made and overused in many episodes, just so the episodes can hit the 22-minute mark and create places, that either don't have anything to do with the plot or feel out-of-place in the sitcom, and yet again, they serve as lazy attempts at humor.
 * 38) * The camera often moves in a way that makes you feel dizzy.
 * 39) * A strong color palette also destroyed the unique charm of the shows' former glory.
 * 40) Audio also suffers in a way;
 * 41) * Jolasia's dialogue often consists of annoying rhymes, and she also screams most of them, adding more to her hammy personality.
 * 42) * Obnoxious use of stock sound effects, especially when Jolasia hits Waldek, sugarcoating it with an obviously failed result at comedy.
 * 43) * Scene transistion sounds also faded away.
 * 44) * Music often doesn't fit into situations or episodes. They even ditched the iconic ending theme from earlier seasons!

Reedeming Qualities

 * 1) This show at least pays homage to deceased actors like Krystyna Feldman as Babka Kiepska.
 * 2) There's still funny moments here and there.
 * 3) Kozłowski is actually a funny and likeable character
 * 4) There's also a few good or decent episodes.
 * 5) Jolasia can have some decent moments and sometimes she does get her comeuppance.
 * 6) Some endings are okay, like in Ferdydurka.
 * 7) It used to be better in Seasons 1-12.

Reception
Despite these seasons being in 5.0-7.0 on a filmweb, It is panned by fans, for Introduction of Jolasia, unfunny Jokes, abuse of greenboxes and Terrible writing.
