* MeaningfulName: Zdravko Achillesov, a med student, first appeared at an exam held by Professor Kosta Tazobedrev. "Zdravko" comes from "zdrave" (health); "Achillesov" refers to the Achilles tendon; "Kosta", while derived from "Constantine", sounds like "kost", bone; "Tazobedrev" comes from "tazobedren", pelvic (actually "pelvic-femoral", but it is how the pelvic joint is called).

The Comedians (Original title Комиците [Komitsite]) is a Bulgarian VarietyShow performed in front of a live audience that premiered on BTV in 2007 and is still running. Its primary focus is stand-up and (especially) sketch comedy, but it also includes dance performances from the show's dance company as well as musical performances from special guests, at least one per show. It started out with six comedic actors performing comedy skits and the cast has since grown twice as big, including more female actresses (in the beginning, it was all-male). The show is one of the most popular Bulgarian programmes and went out on several country-wide tours since its creation.
In 2012, the show was rebranded as ''Comedians and Friends'', reflecting the increased number of special guest appearances.
!! The show includes examples of the following tropes:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: One of the more recent sketches centres around a creepy, smarmy guy trying to pick up girls at a bar.
* AcceptableTargets: The show frequently pokes fun at Romani, Jewish people, blondes, and, in later years, vegans and LGBTQ+ people.
* ActorAllusion: The other five original Comedians first met Nencho Ilchev when he was performing magic tricks. One of his most popular sketches on the show heavily involves this skill of his.
** Ruslan Mainov plays a doctor in several sketches. He goes on to portray Spas Lyutov, a doctor, in Series/SofiaResidentsInExcess.
* AllJewsAreCheapskates: The Abraham and Moshe sketch is about two Jews trying to out-cheapskate one another.
* BlackComedy: Although not extremely frequent, the Comedians aren't strangers to this.
* TheCastShowoff: Notable examples are Nencho Ilchev's magic tricks and Ruslan Mainov's singing.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Most of the male actors regularly portray females, especially in the beginning when there were no female cast members. Even with the addition of several actresses, some female characters are portrayed by male actors, usually for comedic purposes.
* DawsonCasting: Whenever a sketch requires children or teenagers, they are played by the adult actors. One notable aversion is Mina Markova's short-lived appearance in 2008.
