What is Scandinavian humour and comedy like? Any examples?

>>72260798
This is a great film(the hunt) but it's not a comedy.

Comedy? Um...

Boy, that's a tough one. Probably Norwegian. Denmark is really quite bad at comedy, despite what you've probably heard.

>What is Scandinavian humour and comedy like?
In tone it's sort of dark, I suppose. But what's more consistently true for comedy in all countries is that we suck at it. Touring comedians, tv-shows, films, it's all really unfunny. Even if you figure out what sort of sense of humour is common here, we haven't had much luck inspiring people to cater to it. Scandinavian drama tends to be much better.

Pic related is about the only movie I've heard is actually funny in the last few years. Maybe go with it.

norwegian film headhunters is a good comedy

Danish comedy films are often occupied with death. Danish standup is the worst.

Sweden used to made a shitload of ok-ish comedies in the nineties and early 2000s:

Simple, braindead comedy, sort of like Adam Sandler, but funny.

Denmark is the best:

Dark, intelligent, random and funny.

Norwegian comedy in movies is generally awful. Like Adam Sandler-level of awful.

But there's a few great TV-shows, like Lilyhammer and Dag:

It's weird though, the tone shifts drastically between hilarious and deeply depressing.

>>72261671
Sven why you are so self hatred.There are many 5/5 comedy movies and series in sweden

Also, forgot about Smala Sussie:

It varies very much by country or rather by language, Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) have very different humour, Nordic humour in general I'd say is very much about the absurd, cringe, sometimes dark humour. I'd say Danes are probably the funniest of them, Nowegians second funniest, (Danes are evil tho, so if you laugh you support imperialism) Finnish and Icelandic humour are also different from the Scandinavian humour which does share a general "vibe" despite national differences, more plays on words, linguistic absurdities, I think Danes and Icelanders are edgier, but that's just my feeling, Swedes can be edgy af too. Of course it's all just my opinion. Don't know about Faroese or Greenlandic humour tho.

Fóstbræður is the best Icelandic comedy show of all time. Lots of it is on YouTube. Here's a season 2 playlist on YoutTube.

Hugleikur Dagsson is also a funny Icelandic comedian, he has a show called Hulli which is on RÚV, you can watch all episodes free on the RÚV site, dno if you have to fake ur IP as Icelandic, might not be open to foreigners, it's state TV.

>tfw parts of Smala Sussie were shot in the small town in Dalsland you grew up in
>tfw rural Dalsland/Värmland was portrayed flawlessly in the movie
maybe that's why I found it thoroughly depressing, rather than funny

grew up in a similar area, and while i find it hilarious, i couldn't bring myself to watch it twice.

I remember listing to a radio broadcast when the comedy flickering lights was released. The broadcaster argued that this scene was funniest in the whole movie.

so you learned from your mistakes?

question for Swedes and Danes:

do you also have an disproportionate amount of Downs Syndrome in your tv-shows and movies?

Because they're all over the place here.

>>72264666
Tonnin seteli is so fucking autistic that makes me laugh all the times
>>72263753

Those commercials are almost a decade old, though.

>>72265091
I mean like there's a shitload of actors with actual downs syndrome acting in our tv shows and movies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFyWYZZGc0

Fuck, we have a reality/documentary show consisting purely of people with Downs syndrome. A detective movie with a down syndrome as the main lead. Downs syndrome in almost every sketch and comedy show.

It's pretty ridiculous actually how much focus on downs syndrome there is here.

Just wondered if it's the same with you guys.

>>72265201
Only one we have is ICA Jerry like the other swede posted. He was pretty popular though.

Downs is funny lmao.

>>72264977
No. But we had a two guys with downs that had a lot of comedic tv appearances after their participation in a documentary series about downs. They got quite popular. Did humours sports commentaries and other comedic stuff.

(And Shetland and the Orkneys)

nothing to do with imperialism. Quite the contrary.

Greenland and the Faeroese should be a part of Norway, as the Danes never settled these places. Or at the very least, they should be independent from Denmark.

At least Greenland will be independent soon, then we'll hopefully make our move and annex it, since the kalahit came there after us too.

>>72265615
we gonna show scotland how to independence with our superior self sufficient economie.

Corvids are more intelligent than the great apes.

Hope the independences works out for you soon. That is - get a move on okay?
