sadistic verses.
In contrast to horror stories, the genre of “sadistic rhymes” that is largely related, but significantly different from them, is experiencing an extraordinary flowering. The “first generation” of performers of this genre grew up and became adults, with an increase in reciting “poems about a little boy”. But, growing up, people (mostly young men) do not forget such works - and this is one of the distinguishing features of the genre. At this stage, even numerous publications in newspapers are not able to “kill” him, where sometimes even competitions of copyright and folklore “sadistic rhymes” are held. Keeping the “classic” block of texts, sometimes going back to the work of Oleg Grigoriev (“I asked the electrician Petrov: “Why did you wind the wire around your neck?” Petrov did not answer anything, he just shook it quietly with bots”), “sadistic rhymes” are actively replenished with new plots , motives and images. The boy stole a drill from his uncle,
I drilled an iron pipe for a long time.
A huge flame flared up at once,
Five regions turned out to be without gas.
Among them are semi-authored “literary sadistic rhymes”:
Juliet's dad argued with the neighbors.
Dad will not be a grandfather for this.
Like other “living” varieties of folklore, this genre actively reacts to everything new, while using the technique of “turning” old schemes:
were playing pop in the basement
Aunt Alsou was brutally shot .
The reason for the popularity of the genre of “sadistic rhymes” is most likely their comically degrading attitude towards everything terrible, frightening. Like horror stories, but completely in their own way, they, by travestying the terrible, exposing it to almost blasphemous ridicule, perform a kind of psychotherapeutic function, weakening the sacred fears of a child, a teenager.
Children's jokes.
Children's jokes have recently also received an official "registration" in the media, especially in the press. Along with specific “childish” stories about Cheburashka and Gena the crocodile , Kolobok , Wolf and Hare and other fairy-tale literary characters, they actively absorb “adult” plots and images. So, back in 1997, there were no jokes about the “new Russians” in children's folklore, but today it contains an extensive block of such works:
"New Russian" says to his wife:
– Darling, did you want a mink for your birthday? I bought it for you, but you will clean up after it yourself.
Along with this, there were even more children's jokes “about Vovochka”, for example:
- Vovochka, what will happen to your parents if they find out how you study?
- Mom's heart will ache, and dad's hands will ache.
