He says that because Norwegians DO wear these national costumes, but ONLY for Constitution Day, Confirmation ceremonies and weddings. Then it looks smashing. It's basically like if an American wore their Civil war reenactment clothes on the streets of Boston on a regular Tuesday.
We do say hi to strangers, but only when we meet them at a place theres only them and us. If i go for a walk and met someone, we say hi, but in a city where there are more people at the same spot there simply is just too many people to greet
People think he's meme-ing by saying "today" but in reality he's acknowledging that outfit is worn on special occasions whereas conan is wearing it for no reason. So in fact he does look silly today.
I think he was just defending his culture in his eyes. I think what Conan was wearing is something only worn on a national holiday. It's probably the equivalent of wearing an uncle Sam outfit; potentially acceptable on the 4th of July and little time else. He was foolish...today.
probably because this is pieced together with a million cuts. He probably is answering completely different questions but they cut it together to make this funny
@@joesr31 I really doubt he is. You can see he's brutally honest at the start when he motions to Conan's top and says it looks riduclus, no cuts required. He also probably understood he was being filmed for a comedy show.
I like that he always made sure to point out "today". Not calling Conan out as foolish in general, just for today because of how he was dressed lol Also, Conan is wearing a men's bunad. It's for special occasions, mostly for national days(17 Mai). But for weddings and (even more common)confirmation as well. The men's bunad is not as common as the female one, but I genuinely think men can look very snazzy when wearing their bunad. Conan included, but I know foreigners can find the men bunad a bit ridicules😅
@@InHurleyWeTrust maybe he was just being careful, since he wanted to point out that Conan does not look inherently weird, just wearing that outfit makes him look foolish.
All scandinavians are embarrassed by Dagfinns excessive conversation. Totally uncalled for, why does he think his point of view is of interest to anyone else? The proper way of handling such an awkward social situation is mumbling some excuse, lowering your eyes and quickly walking away.
Being a German I find Dagfinn's answer neither unusual, nor insulting but quite helpful. Conan is making a fool for himself in the eye's of Norwegian. You could get the same kind of answers from Germans or Dutch. I further don't think that the answers are scripted or edited. For me the funny part is that Conan is asking the same question over and over again in the hope of getting a more pleasing answer. A perfect example for different communication style. Suger-coated answers would be perceived as fake and even rude. When in Rome ...
@@MarkusWitthaut Yeah we Germans and Scandinavians are very direct. We answer every question honest. That probably what american people dont understand. When someone asks me, how my day is, I tell him about my day. Americans would be bewildered about that.
@@anthemsofeurope2408 except that is not how it is, at least in Norway. I'm autistic and people expect you to not say what you think, but be polite. So I'm not totally aboard with this "we're so direct" that keeps going around when it comes to this episode. Yes and no I guess. In a way I can see it, but I also feel like we're very introverted and polite, and there are a lot of social codes to how you should say things. That doesn't seem too direct in my eyes.
Feel like he was being super generous by constantly adding "today" to make it clear he means the outfit and not Conan personally, but Conan kept ignoring that part of the answer because he wanted to be insulted
@humersompsen4775 exactly my point :) he was selectively filtering out the most insulting parts so he can pretend to be deeply offended , that's Conan's humor in a nutshell
same. the guy was being polite. he wanted to be honest because he knew this foreigner was trying to make fun of norway but he also didn't want to insult him personally.
I hope he just borrowed that outfit or kept it. Because that would cost like 5-7K USD. Also Dagfinn (not Dogfinn) isn't being rude by Norwegian standards. It would be more rude to flatter him and let him walk around like that. People do wear bunads, however only for constitution day or larger celebrations.
HBO pays for it and Conan gets to keep it. He mentioned in the production debrief on the podcast the various outfits he collected doing the series. Then he gave away his new Tom Ford jacket to that other fellow in this episode.
Nah, that is not a complete bunad; he is missing some items of clothing, and the ones he has are far from the fanciest ones. Almost no intricate designs or other flair. So I bet they got it for way less than that. Besides, I think he is quite rich anyway :)
@@lurven6666 its actually not so much clipped, u can see by the same moving cars from one camera view appearing in the other right the next moment while they switch views during the dialogue
The last one was definitely Conan telling a stranger where he needs to go. That is incorrect. He is going the same direction he was before. Nothing has changed. You are still looking and now sounding foolish... today.
0:07 I worked at that exact red hotel behind him in two different jobs at Børs Hotel (right behind him) and as a security guard at Børs Kjelleren (a bar right under it), and lived like 150 meters away from there. The funny thing is I also worked as a lost luggage supervisor at the exact airport he was in Flesland 0:11. It's so weird, because I've been a fan of Conan for years, and I somehow missed him. Also, that is a ''bunad'' shop for traditional clothing only worn once annually during our independence day 17th May. We would never recommend that as ''regular'' clothing. Also it was 'Dag'finn. 'Dag' as in 'day', not dog lol.
Conan is wearing a cheap version of our national costume, the bunad. It's used for big occasions like weddings and the national day. Bunads represent different regions of Norway, but I think Conans "bunad" is just a random mix of the cheapest bunad pieces they found. It's also not complete. A proper quality bunad costs at least between $4.000 and $6.000, depending on the regional style, accoutrements etc. A full bunad-set can easily cost over $10.000.
He is not wearing a cheap version, and only thing he misses is the jacket, which has no silver on it, and he his missing some silver on his wrists, thats it. He is pretty much wearing a full Bunad, considering you take off the jacket when it gets hot.
He answered only when asked and answered with harsh truths rather than comfortable lies, that's a pretty admirable trait in my opinion I see a few comments complaining about dagfin
It’s a nordic thing. Same here in Finland. On average I’d say we are more straightforward than the rest of Europe. The Finnish language doesn’t even have a word for ”please”.
@@Dougie- "Would you please hand me" is the same damn thing. The more I hear from the Scandinavians that stayed, the gladder I am that our family left. You guys sound like a bunch of rude assholes.
The reason Dagfinn says "today" is because you'd wear it on the norwegian constitution day, 17th of may. Some people wear it and its called a bunad. Every part of norway has their own bunad for men and women
If anyone wonders why this Norwegian is so talkative, it's because he's from Bergen, and they're not like typical Norwegians. In fact, one of their common statements is "I'm not from Norway, I'm from Beeeeeeergen"
Classic American. Goes to a new country, shouts English at the locals, insults their names because they're not called Chad or Brad and is then shocked when they're told they look like a prick.
In Norway you can't transfer from international to domestic without clearing your baggage through customs. Basically you have to collect and check your bags in again for the domestic legs of the flight.
Dagfinn/dog fin is an equivalent of when Dara O'Briain came to Norway and asked a dude his name and he answered the common name Reidar. Dara was perplexed and asked "RADAR"? He had no idea why the audience laughed so hard.
Gotta love this polite directness that Scandinavians have. Germans are known to be direct too, but we are incapable of being entertaining and funny at the same time like our Northern friends
@@anthemsofeurope2408 Except for that time you told people they were getting a free train ticket to go on vacation... and then that other time you told people they were going to get showers in the locker room lol That Germanic honesty

“Tomorrow is a new day”

Conan is the Norwegians nightmare.
Nothing is scarier for them than a person that says hi to strangers.
Who would want to talk to that goofball tho
It was scary for other people in europe about a thousand years ago when Norwegians showed up and said hi to them out of nowhere.
Nah, we can deal. But expect to be "Dogfinned"
We do say hi to strangers, but only when we meet them at a place theres only them and us. If i go for a walk and met someone, we say hi, but in a city where there are more people at the same spot there simply is just too many people to greet
That is Bullshit tho. Especially in Bergen. Dagfin is a typical Bergenser
People think he's meme-ing by saying "today" but in reality he's acknowledging that outfit is worn on special occasions whereas conan is wearing it for no reason. So in fact he does look silly today.
I figured it was moreso today Conan is ridiculous, but not on previous or future days.
@@Leon-zu1wp Nah its not.
@@eirikmarthinsen3850 it’s both in different contexts
Dogfin's at least being optimistic by saying he only looks ridiculous "today" 😆, so there's still tomorrow haha

@@u-mos8820 Yep, that is exactly right. 17th of may is the(one of) the only acceptable days to wear a bunad in public in Norway :D
*Dagfinn
Its dagfinn and he was saying today because its worn on special days so not today
For anyone wondering it’s called a bunad and we only wear it for festive occasions (mainly the national day)
And sexual cosplay?
Your brain on small hat degeneracy
@@marks.3303 only because of the implications
For a second, thought I read Bunda.
So conan just picked the wrong day to wear that. At the right time he wouldn't look like an idiot.
Dogfinn the Soul Crusher
Yes, today
Not to be confused with Dagfinn (singer of the 80's rock band Sha-Boom).
He's just honest, today
Sounds like the name of a Dark Souls/Elden Ring boss.
Only today, tomorrow, he'll pick up the pieces and put them back together
As a Northern European, no lies were told. Today.
E
I have never seen Conan shut down like that. This was much appreciated. Protect that man at all costs.

LOL. accurate
Danish and can confirm. Dagfinn is a real chatterbox and so cringe.
😂😂
he's from Bergen, they do their own stuff
Well in his defense, Conan asked for his opinion.
Conan: "Dagfinn, what is your favorite Beatles song?"
Dogfinn: "Yes, today."
Ha!
Ha ha ha brilliant.
I was going to ask him what his favorite prog rock band is and when he chose it.
@@dlxmarks Gave a chuckle - thanks 😆
