Four Swedes say C'est la vie…

The British comedy team of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders (aka French & Saunders) provide us with another stunning parody for a laugh on a Friday.

This time they perform a very ABBA-esque song titled "C'est La Vie" and poke fun at the four Swedes. The song itself — not to [...]

Vossarull vs. Operarull

Norwegian National Broadcasting (NRK) is now in the second season of broadcasting a series of short travelogue/culture videos called "Norsk Attraskjon (Norwegian Attraction)" — and they're now putting the videos on YouTube to share with the rest of the world. The program must be really popular in Norway because they already have more than 17,000 [...]

The fun theory of playing a Stairway Piano

A Swedish organization called Rolighetsteorin (aka "The Fun Theory") says:
We believe that the easiest way to change people's behaviour for the better is by making it fun to do. We call it The Fun Theory.
And here they prove it by constructing a working piano keyboard on subway stairs. Thus, instead of a Steinway, we have [...]

Best. Movie. Parody. Ever.

The British comedy of Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French have regularly produced various parodies over the years. This time they have really outdone themselves.
They produced a two part segment for the British " Red Nose Day" (the UK equivalent of Comic Relief) — a parody of "trailers" for the movie, Mamma Mia!
Unfortunately, [...]

Do the Danes really understand Danish?

For some Friday fun, here's a comedy video from a Norwegian program called "Uti vår hage (Out In Our Garden)". It's making fun of how difficult people — apparently including "Danes" — think it is to try and understand or speak Danish.
The video is in English with Norwegian subtitles.
As they say in Norway, Danish is [...]

Icelandic couple communicates through Facebook

The annual Icelandic comedy show, åramå³taskaupiå°, did a sketch about Facebook.
It's nice to know that social media has reached the point that it's providing comedy fodder in the Nordic countries, too.

HamBAO and Bach…

The traditional Allsång på Skansen (Allsang at Skansen) in Sweden usually has some unforgettable moments.
One of my personal favorites was the time that Swedish comedian Robert Gustafsson interupted a BAO (Benny Anderssons Orkester) performance as "Sten Broman", a well-known Swedish music critic.
At first, the announcer introduces BAO to play a hambo (a hamBAO?) and claims [...]

Victor Borge: Danish folk songs

For many years, one of my favorite comedy performers was the Danish pianist-comedian, Victor Borge.
Borge was a consumate musician with a great wit. His use of the English language for humor was extraordinary.
He was perhaps better known by older generations. The only time I was able to experience him "live" was when a friend took [...]

Øystein Sunde: Soga om Harald Jordfreser

Øystein Sunde is a master musician, lyricist and humorist in Norway and a musical icon. I compare him to a cross between Randy Newman and Jerry Reed.
Sometimes he includes humorous stories in his presentations. Here he tells the story of the little-known Norwegian king Harald Jordfreser. I love the humor in this.
I would love to [...]

Bergman reaches new heights…depths…whatever

British comedians Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders (known as "French & Saunders") are well-loved in worldwide for their parodys.
Since the days are getting grayer, it seems appropriate to share their 1993 parody of an Ingmar Bergman movie. My favorite line?
Look, I'm trying to cope with the presence of God and the [...]
