'That's BS, babies!' Grandpa Panas
It's the Good Night TV Show for children

: This doesn't exactly convey the meaning of the phrase. I also don't think anyone addresses kids as "babies" unless it's their own babies.

: Sure. My answer was not about "kh... malyata", but about who "ded Panas" was. Therefore whoever else can answer about "kh... malayta" better. This was not my goal, as one can see from my answer.

"Such a bullshit, kids!"
Дед Панас - это такой старичок, вроде тети Вали из "Спокойной ночи, малыши", только старенький и украинский. Прославился тем, что однажды, завершая рассказывать сказку, по пьяни сказал "Ось така хуйня, малята". Эта фраза стала нарицательной. Можно использовать что-то типа bullshit или другой более-менее смягченный вариант перевода. Суть шутки в противопоставлении грубости и аудитории, которая этого не ожидает.

Не знаю, где тут кнопка ответа на вопрос, добавлю тут ))
Да, это old man Panas или что-то вроде uncle Panas, но в смысле - общинный дедок, который рассказывает деткам сказки, не кровный родственник. Детсадовский воспитатель или старичок на скамейке на улице.

Note from asker:
| Спасибо, Александра! В моем понимании, "дед Панас" -это никакой не grandfather (хотя кто знает?), а, например, old man Panas(c) (c) - цитату так передать? |
| The Misha: Если ориентироваться на англоговорящих читателей, тогда этого "деда Панаса" вообще не надо вводить, но тогда и колорит статьи теряется... |

The Misha
: Your grammar is bad here. And on top of it, this means absolutely nothing to an English speaker. You'd be well advised to revise your confidence level on this.

Dear Misha, my answer was not about grammar but about who the man was and the context of the phrase. The translator may use more convenient wording, but first he/she needs to understand the situation.

Он частенько появлялся на экране слегка подвыпившим, путал слова, забывал текст, но всегда умело выкручивался, присочиняя небывалые сюжетные истории (за что его обожали также и взрослые). А однажды где-то в 1979-80 г. по легенде (которая очень похоже на реальность) произнёс эту знаменитую фразу. А поскольку передача эта шла в прямом эфире (что было большой редкостью в советские времена), то ее увидели все восхищенные телезрители. На самом деле фраза звучала так: «Отака *уйня, малята!». После этого случая діда Панаса на экране больше не видели :-(
