The show's basic formula is (according to Killinggänget) borrowed from Vic Reeves Big Night Out, with some sketches stolen almost verbatim, but mostly different content and a set of original characters including Percy Nilegård.
Singer and lead man of Rolandz is the character Roland Järverup, whom Robert Gustafsson played in the 1999 movie Screwed in Tallinn by Killinggänget.
