Composition of the United group. USB group and its composition. A song that describes me well

Starts on TNT channel on August 26 new season Comedy Club. Before the premiere, we met with that same sweet young man Nikita from the scandalous group USB. On stage, Kostya (that’s the resident’s real name) looks like a frivolous teenager, but in life he turned out to be serious, smart person And an exemplary family man. We met in a cafe nearby central office Comedy Club in the center of Moscow and discussed a lot of interesting things over a cup of sea buckthorn tea!

About work

Polina Kalinova: Kostya, tell us what USB is preparing at the beginning of the new season?

Konstantin Malasaev: We have already filmed three episodes that will be shown on the first broadcasts. We have prepared not only music videos, for which Garik Martirosyan usually tries to kick us out of the studio. This season will feature a lot of completely different video content, including parodies of movies and television programs. For example, we created a new television project called “Yeralaksheri” - this is a parody of everyone’s favorite “Yeralash”, but for the inhabitants of Barvikha. There will be a parody of regional television - the KubankoTV channel for residents and vacationers at resorts Krasnodar region. And for the elections to the State Duma we will present our own party, which is going to run for elections with its own political program... I promise it will be a lot of fun! Over the past two years, we have made great progress in creativity and are now ready to conquer new horizons.

P.K.: How old is USB?

K.M.: Our group’s birthday is March 8, 2010. We are already six years old, we will soon go to school! In general, we have been working with the guys for a very long time - since 1999. Then we met, and in 2000 we began performing together as the KVN team “Maximum” in the city of Tomsk, where we lived at that time. In 2008 we became champions of the KVN Major League, we were invited to work at Comedy Club Production. Only two people “broke away” from the team; they went to another project, which was also quite successful. For six months we wrote texts for almost all the residents who were at Comedy at that time. And in 2010, it was decided to change the format of the show, and it was then that Garik Martirosyan suggested that we come up with own project and go out with him big stage. Thus the USB group was born. In principle, the guys and I had this idea for a long time, even when we were playing in KVN, but we still couldn’t “keep up” with it. The name, by the way, was also born a long time ago. It's surprising that such a popular, common word - USB - has not yet been occupied by anyone musical group. We came up with a cool decoding of the abbreviation - United Sexy Boys, and began creating images. Each of our characters is a parody of groups popular artists Russian show business. Dyusha Metelkin is Timati, Casta and other representatives of hip-hop culture. Stas - “Tea for Two”, singer Julian and other long-haired brutal singers with beards. Seryoga Gorely personifies chanson: as if he sat, as if he were a cattle, as if he had seen a lot in this life... Gena, who is always silent, is someone a little crazy, a kind of mixture of “Splins”, aliens and show business. And “my” Nikita is Nikita Malinin, Dima Bilan, Sergei Lazarev and other feminine boys of our stage. Why Nikita? We ourselves don’t know. It just came up that way. In fact, he could turn out to be both Boris and Innocent.

P.K.: Isn’t it offensive that everyone calls you Nikita?

K.M.: I don’t see anything terrible in this, because their image is often attached to actors. While I'm working on a project, I don't worry too much. In ordinary life, often no one knows what my real name is. And what is my last name? It's not good or bad, it's different. For example, in addition to Comedy, I do events. I officiate weddings and organize corporate events. And here I am faced with a small problem. People come to our agency and want some famous presenter. The manager offers them Konstantin Malasaev. And they don't know who it is. They are explained that this is a resident of the Comedy Club, but this again does not mean anything to them, because the name Konstantin and the Comedy Club are in no way associated with each other. And then you have to clarify: “Well, this is Nikita from USB!” And this puts everything in its place. Then something surprising often happens, since it turns out that people did not know that Nikita was just an image, a role. It turns out that many people believe that USB is a real group that regularly comes to visit the Comedy Club and which Garik and Pasha Volya are constantly trying to kick out. However, they can’t do it because the audience loves USB! On the other hand, it’s cool that we were able to create such a precedent in Russian show business, like a USB group. After all, we are often called to perform at corporate events, where we sing, show video clips, dance, play the guitar... We and big concerts we give, and act as special guests with the KVN “Maximum” team. In general, there is enough work!

P.K.: Are there any problems with aggressive fans? Your Nikita is so feminine...

K.M.: I don’t know, maybe if I were alone, someone would take my image at face value, but in real life I have been happily married for a long time! Moreover, my wife is from Tomsk; we met long before the Comedy Club appeared in my life. As for the image, Nikita is very loved by both girls and boys, and even serious adults! It’s fun for them all to take pictures with me and say: “Everyone is here... Me and Nikita!” I’m already used to the fact that on the street they can call me: “Hey, Nikita, USB is here!”

P.K.: I remember the story of how you were threatened on social networks. Not scary?

K.M.: Not at all! This happens very often, especially on social networks. Every day I receive several dozen messages on VKontakte: “Hello!”, “Add as a friend,” “Hello!”, “Ku-ku,” and so on. I simply ignore such messages, but sometimes a whole monologue “grows” from them: “Hello! How are you? Add me as a friend. What are you not adding? Are you insolent? Hey you!" Then insults and even threats fly: “I hate you!”, “I will burn you,” and so on. I am not at all touched by comrades who allow themselves such communication. I just ignore them. I don't ban anyone. My friends are only my real friends and acquaintances, whom I myself am interested in reading. I don't see the point of having 15 thousand strange people in the feed to simply say: yes, I’m cool, I have so many friends!

About Esperanto

P.K.: What were your hobbies as a child?

K.M.: Everyone! I didn’t leave the Pioneer House. It was the beginning of the 90s, the neighbor boys were running around the gates, and I always had some kind of clubs - either chess or dancing. From six to twelve years old I studied ballroom dancing, and very seriously. I reached class B and took part in intercity competitions. Then I gave up dancing, I got carried away. A ship, an airplane, a crane - everyone starts with this, but I created some unrealistic original models. In addition, these activities are very useful for children: they develop spatial thinking, fine motor skills hands, and good for the nerves! Now, of course, a lot has been forgotten, but I can still put together something interesting. More most My life was then occupied by the language of Esperanto. A friend of my mother taught an international language in our city, seeing that I was interested in almost everything, she offered to come to her class. Within six months I spoke Esperanto. This is a very simple language, but there is always one crucial moment when there is an acute lack of language practice. And the whole group decided to go to the Esperanto festival in Krasnoyarsk, since it’s not far from Tomsk. By a happy coincidence, a whole delegation of foreigners came there, following on international festival Esperanto to Korea. I still remember my feeling of delight. Imagine, there is a group of people from Germany, America, Korea, Russia - and everyone speaks the same language. This is so cool! This influenced me very much, I began to go to such meetings every year. First in Russia, and when I turned 18, I went to Hungary and Croatia. In addition to communicating in Esperanto, there was also tourist romance on the trips. After all, I started hitchhiking, and the festivals themselves were held in a relaxed atmosphere with songs around the fire, tents... By that time I was already the President of the Tomsk Esperanto Club, and then joined the board of the Russian Esperanto Youth Organization. International movement Esperanto really hooked me because you now had friends in every city in the world. If you are a member of this organization, then you are given a directory with the addresses and telephone numbers of everyone like you. So you went to Germany, to the city of Hamburg, for example. You open the book and see who you can stay with for free. And, most importantly, you will be very welcome!

Kostya with his wife Yulia

P.K.: As a child, could you imagine that you would be a star?

K.M.: Mom told me that in early childhood I dreamed of becoming a surgeon, a medical doctor and something else. But from the age of twelve, when I went to the “Television Test” project on Tomsk Television, I realized that television was mine. I didn’t strive to become a star, I was engaged in journalism, I liked it. We filmed stories, I had my own section, I hosted the programs, albeit recorded. Naturally, after school I went to study journalism, but failed the exams. Not all. I passed Russian and Literature orally with a “5”, creative competition at “5”, but wrote the essay at “2” - the spelling failed. And then I went to study cultural studies, which I do not regret at all. Already in my second year, I realized that it is not at all necessary to study as a journalist in order to get on television. And already in my fourth year I hosted a television program on a local Tomsk channel. At the same time, KVN entered my life...

P.K.: I heard what you wrote scientific works about KVN!

K.M.: It happened. When you study at the Institute of Art and Culture, in any case you have to write some kind of scientific work: term papers, a diploma, and then a dissertation if you wish. In my first year I had a coursework " Religious ideas ancient Mayan culture." The next year, I realized that it is not necessary to write such works, because KVN and the theater of miniatures, which I was also interested in, are also a moment of culture, we need to write exactly about this! About what I do. Therefore, the third, fourth year plus a diploma and dissertation - everything for me was connected with humor, with the culture of laughter. True, I never defended my dissertation because I moved to Moscow and didn’t have time to do it. But I can defend myself at any age, it’s just that the work I had already written then will need to be adapted, since the industry is developing rapidly. By the way, Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov also knew about my scientific work. At some point I was even offered to publish a book and then distribute it at KVN festivals, but then the issue somehow died out.

About love

Kostya, Julia and Holly

P.K.: How did you meet your wife?

K.M.: In a nightclub. I worked as a presenter, and she just came to relax. We flirted a little, there was even some romance... But then we separated for two years. And then she got a job as a bartender in another nightclub, and I started working as a host in the same club. For six months we tried to improve relations, it all turned out so bad interesting story. This was nine years ago, and three years later we got married.

P.K.: Did you propose according to all the rules?

K.M.: Not really, but it was a lot of fun. I planned it, I knew it was going to happen, but I had no idea how exactly. I wanted to buy a ring... In general, everything is as it should be. But everything turned out very spontaneously. That summer, Yulia and I traveled a lot around Russia and decided to stop by Kazantip for a few days. We got there from Sochi by train through Anapa, then by ferry... We rented a small house in Crimea and began to have fun. On the third day after some regular party, we fell asleep at five in the morning. When I woke up, I realized: I need to propose right now! Moreover, I was aware that we were in Kazantip, not only can’t you buy rings here, you can’t buy anything here at all! I left the house and went through the souvenir shops to look for at least something suitable for my important mission. And there are all clay aliens on strings, bulbulators and some other crap! In the end, I found a counter with plastic rings of this acidic color that glow in the dark. I bought a big yellow ring. I thought, well, what difference does it make, it’s just a symbol. When I returned with the trophy, Yulia had just woken up, we went out onto the balcony overlooking the sea, I got down on one knee, held out the ring and asked: “Will you be my wife?” She replied: “Yes!” Then, when we returned home, I, of course, bought her a normal diamond ring and replaced the plastic one. We got married only a year and a half later, because we spent a lot of time moving to Moscow, then I was looking for a job, I had to find an apartment, settle down... We saved up some money and had a wedding. We wanted to throw a big celebration for all our friends and family. It turned out to be a great wedding, dear, for a hundred people!

Barks at everything that happens outside the door. We are bad teachers! The dog knows only two commands: “give me a paw” and “give me the other paw.” And now I also taught her the “high five” command.

P.K.: So, before having children, you experimented on a dog?

K.M.: And the experiment failed! But now we know our mistakes, because Holly is leading us. Probably because we didn’t forbid her anything, but that’s not possible with children. We often visit Spain, we have a house there, and we constantly observe how ill-mannered the children of many Europeans are. We come to the restaurant with the hope of sitting quietly and chatting; Europeans are having dinner at the next table, and at this time their children are practically running across the ceiling. It's completely normal for them to walk up to your table, take your fork and throw it on the floor. And when asked to reassure their children, unperturbed parents say: “Don’t teach us how to raise children, we allow them everything!” It turns out that they do not use the word “no” in relation to their children. Not even a particle of “not” is allowed! Allegedly, this limits the freedom of the growing individual. But it seems to me that a child should know what is good and what is bad. When a child interferes with other people, it is bad manners. In general, this is not our scheme.

P.K.: Will you be strict parents?

K.M.: I don’t yet know how I will behave when I have children. I like the value system that exists in Russia, but in Europe this system is blurred. Of course, we also have our kinks. Time will show!

About USB group:

Since 2010, when it had already firmly established itself at the pinnacle of fame on the air of the TNT channel, a banned group began to take part in its releases under the very “original” name “United Sexy Boyz”, which in its abbreviated form means a common device for connecting peripheral systems to other information systems, in short, USB.

Perhaps this is what one of the group members, Gennady, who is probably the smartest of all, would say, because he is constantly silent with very businesslike. They say he knows perfectly German, but there have not yet been any witnesses to this due to his significant silence.

The group became another highlight in the club's performances. Her very appearance on stage begins to be enchanting. Naturally, the exit is always accompanied by a new “creation” of the team, which allows us to call it unusually fruitful. But the presentation of the latest “hit” alone is worth the group’s appearance on stage.

Represents the group, which is the intellectual center of the Comedy Club. His dive with the leader looks especially piquant USB Dushay Metelkin. The intellect of the group, Gennady, is silent, as always. The group does not need him, because the charismatic and sexy Turbo, Sergei Gorelikov, can always provide support to Dyusha.

He is the typical representative and admirer of chanson in this motley gathering. Despite the fact that the guests are typical patients of a psychotherapist, which Garik was in the past, this is not very similar to an ordinary medical appointment. Despite the fact that in humor itself, self-appointed pop stars are in no way inferior to Garik.

Although Nikita (Konstantin Malasaev), who really likes to say his name, and not only that, is always interrupted. So he cannot say what else he loves... although many people guess about it.

True, everyone manages to get some details about his preferences and personal qualities, for example, the fact that his butt is without cellulite. Nikita's short rhyming remarks have become so popular among the people that they are memorized.

But Stas begins to speak instead - judging by his speech, he is the representative of the rap trend in the group. He so unobtrusively offers to say, accompanying his speech with the refrain “Aha.”

For a delicate mental constitution, a conversation with group members is, of course, an ordeal, but on the other hand, the audience in the hall and in front of the TV screens experience real pleasure from the mutual jokes of opponents.

Although the USB group considers itself so legendary and progressive that it is even allegedly banned on Russian television, on the TNT channel she finds her alternative listeners.

She is so great and talented that she even has several albums. This is “An album for an amateur” (we would even say: for a VERY amateur), “Das ist Fantastisch” (from the title it is clear that the album is made of hard material), “Satsany” and “I love to love while sitting” (this is probably something from the Kama Sutra).

USB group appeared on the Comedy Club unexpectedly, and their first performance immediately divided the fans of the show into two parts - some found the group’s style too vulgar and provocative, while others found it cool and unusual.

Where did these brave guys come from? And who is their leader?

United Sexy Boys is a group formed from former members KVN team "Maximum". Some of them may not be remembered now, but their jokes always caused a strong reaction from the audience.

After the team broke up, the players decided to continue working in a humorous direction. This is how the USB group appeared, and the guys first performed with parody numbers on famous performers and artists.

They were invited to corporate parties and holidays, and it seemed that they lacked only one thing - all-Russian popularity.

One day, one of the Comedy Club producers found out about the existence of the group. He invited young people to perform as part of the project. Of course, they did not refuse this opportunity, but the style had to be changed a little.

As a result of fruitful collaboration with stylists and joke writers, new names for the participants were invented, costumes and repertoire were selected. The conditions for further cooperation were clearly stated - if the first appearance on the screens causes a positive reputation, then the channel signs an agreement.

The artists prepared for the event with great responsibility. this event, and the result met expectations - TNT agreed to sign a contract with United Sexy Boys.

So since 2010 the team has been a resident of Comedy, and its participants offer to demonstrate their video clips.

The arrogant and reckless members of the USB group give a special spice to the show, and it’s impossible to count how many fans they have formed over the years.

Each member of the group is an accomplished artist, with special artistic abilities and a humorous style.

(Nikita) - born in 1981, in at a young age he loved to draw, has a level in karate, and was also fond of ballroom dancing. He received his education at the Institute of Culture and played in KVN. Now, in parallel with his USB tours, he hosts weddings and other events. And it’s very easy to recognize him - his remarks always begin like this: “And I’m Nikita...”.

Andrey Shelkov(Stas) - dark-haired handsome man was born in 1981. When the boy was little, the family had to move from Zheleznogorsk to Tomsk. He studied well at school and was not involved in any special clubs, so everyone was surprised when he became interested in humor at the university. His signature phrase is “Let me say, yeah...”.

Dmitry Vyushkov(Gena) - it’s hard not to recognize this participant or confuse him with someone else. Red-haired, funny, tall, he also met the guys at student years. When fans meet him, they always ask “How are your friends, Gena?”

(Turbo) - an arrogant guy is considered the most charismatic player from the entire team. He was born in 1979, lived in Tomsk and, once he got into KVN, became a member of the group. He also solo amuses the audience of the Comedy Club show, appearing in the image of a pickup truck master and telling how to behave with girls and how not to.

(Dyusha Metelkin) - he was also born in Zheleznogorsk. Trained as a marketing specialist, he suddenly decided that playing KVN could bring him not only good income, but also self-satisfaction. Once in the USB, he got both. His appearance on stage means that he will now begin to put pressure on Martirosyan and remind him that it is time for him to return to Armenia and finish grilling the kebabs.

The USB group regularly performs on the Comedy Club stage. Viewers have an ambiguous attitude towards this team. Some people think the guys’ jokes are too vulgar, others support this format of humor. Do you know when the USB group was formed? Do you know the names of its participants? If not, we recommend that you read the contents of the article.

History of creation

The team called (or USB for short) was formed in 2009. The guys performed at various events with parodies of famous people- actors, musicians and singers. The public received them with a bang. Young comedians received good fees. For complete happiness they lacked one thing - all-Russian fame.

A representative of the production center Comedy Club was present at one of the performances of the USB group. He highly appreciated the guys' humor and acting abilities. This man invited the guys to perform on the air of the Comedy Club. Our heroes could not miss this opportunity.

For several days the guys rehearsed a humorous act. They clearly understood: if you lose face, you won’t see fame. And the guys gave it 100%. The audience liked their unconventional humor. And the management of the TNT channel signed a contract with them.

KVN

The USB group was created by cheerful guys from Siberia. All of them at one time participated in the KVN program, representing the Tomsk team “Maximum”. Few of the viewers remember their faces. But their sparkling jokes cannot be forgotten.

Television career

Since 2010, the USB group has been a resident of the Comedy Club. Arrogant and confident guys add spice to the show. They invite Pavel Volya and Garik Martirosyan to show the audience their eccentric videos. Many of them are parodies of compositions. Some people will find the humor of these guys strange and inappropriate. But it does exist. The team stands out from the rest Residents Comedy Club - the intelligent Garik Martirosyan, the glamorous Pavel Volya and others.

Konstantin Malasaev (Nikita)

Born on April 6, 1981 Since childhood, he has been involved in drawing, karate and ballroom dancing. Graduated from the Institute of Arts and Culture. Since 1999 he performed in KVN - first in the team "Lights big city", then in "Maximum". Today Kostya not only acts in the Comedy Club, but also works as a host at weddings, corporate parties and other events. He is one of the recognizable characters of the USB group. The guy begins each phrase with the words: “And I’m Nikita...”

Andrey Shelkov (Stas)

Tall brunette with long hair 1981 in the city of Zheleznogorsk ( Krasnoyarsk region). Soon the family moved to Tomsk.

His catchphrase: “Let me say, yeah...”

Dmitry Vyushkov (Gena)

A cheerful guy with a shock of red hair. Born on April 8, 1983. He is a native of Tomsk. He performed in KVN as a member of the Maximum team, which received the status of Champion Major League in 2005. The USB group brought Dmitry popularity. People on the street recognize him and say: “Hello, Gena. How are your friends doing?

Sergey Gorelikov (Turbo)

Many viewers consider him the most charismatic member of the group. Sergey was born on August 29, 1979. He is from Tomsk. In this city, our hero graduated from the Polytechnic University, played in KVN for the Maximum team. In USB he plays the role of an arrogant and crazy guy.

The leader of the USB group was born on October 6, 1981. Like Andrey Shelkov, he is a native of the city of Zheleznogorsk. In 2004, he received a diploma from Tomsk State University. Minin mastered the specialty of marketing. But at some point I realized that humor was his calling.
