Yevgeny Vaganovich Petrosyan (Russian: Евге́ний Вага́нович Петрося́н; Armenian: Եվգենի Վահանի Պետրոսյան (Պետրոսյանց); born on September 16, 1945 in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, USSR) is a Soviet/Russian comedian of Armenian and Jewish descents.[1][2][3][4] He was named in 2005 among the most influential figures in contemporary Russia, in a survey conducted by independent polling agency The Levada Centre.[5] Popular since the days of the USSR,[6] Petrosyan was the host of TV variety show Crooked Mirror.[7]

In recent years Petrosyan became a meme representing unfunny, lame comedy for clueless and older people.
