Norwegians love to take the mick out of the Swedes, and vice versa. In fact, all the Nordic countries love joking about each other, typical sibling rivalry. They will also form a united front to any outsider threatening any of them, again in typical sibling fashion.
Norwegian, Swedes (and the Danish) are like brothers, that's why we always take a piss at each other...😂 Like brothers do all over the world... That's the way brothers show love among themselves...💙 Don't you do that in the USA?!? If that's true, it's just so sad...😢 Are you all so easily triggered, offended and lacking self awareness that it's impossible to laugh at your own expense? If that's the case, you truly miss out off a lot of fun...😂 Ps: Really like your channel🤘
don't take the punches norway and sweden throws at each other,it's all in good fun,they don't take it serious and neither do we when they say something about norway,we love the swedish people,like family.
We love sarcasm and irony here in Scandinavia. Other cultures seldom like or understand our type of humor or comedy. Also because we are very straight forward, open and honest society we historically have joked about mostly everything. Alot of these comedy things needs cultural awareness and context for you to understand as it’s often inside jokes that only we will understand. Norway has always been the lesser country compared to Sweden and Denmark as we are all related cultures and the banter stems from hundreds of years of being oppressed and ruled by both. And because of this there’s a lot of rivalry going on. We love to diss and hate on each other. Mostly for jokes, but sometimes it’s also serious. I don’t like Danes, and Swedes are kinda naive and dumb, yet mostly are very friendly. I prefer Icelanders as they came from us originally.
Not mentioning a "rival" country is a way of indirectly saying that they are unimportant. The election is in November this year, you should know that better than I ;)
6:34 Josefine Frida Pettersen (born 18 May 1996) is a Norwegian actress. She is best known for the role of Noora in the TV series Skam (Shame). Another actress from the same show at 4:34 (Iman Meskini). Skam was wildly popular in 2015. It broke viewership records on NRK and sold to many countries, with numerous remakes; Germany, France, Spain, US and more.
Denmark and Sweden used to be bullies and fought each over Scandinavia. Norway included. So some banter is expected. Nowdays everybody picks on Sweden and sweden pick on Norway and Denmark mostly. Friendly banter. Sibling rivalry really. Sweden and Finland also have a thing… 🩷
There is a long tradition of this friendly rivalry between Sweden and Norway and we tend to make fun of each other. I think it is a remnant of when Norway was ruled by Sweden. After the black plague Norway entered into a union with Denmark, which was OK with most Norwegians. But after the Napoleonic wars Denmark was forced to give Norway to Sweden as part of war reparations. This did not sit well with us Norwegians. Regarding Norwegian humor, it is often based on sarcasm, irony and self deprecation. We try not to take ourselves too seriously (most of the time).
"Uffda" is a Norwegian expression still used by some of the Americans of Norwegian descent. You should react to the "Uffda" episode from Yourway2Norway. Btw - Regarding the desire to place Sweden last, you should check the comments from the Swedes in the comments section of the original video.
my thought about trump is how the hell can he stand in an election when there is a court case against him, it's just stupid and it makes me look stupid at the usa that allows that kind of thing to be possible, and how blind the usa is when they let a man like that get so many votes, look to other countries and think twice
I heard that 45 million Americans are of norwegian origin, similarly around 30 million Americans are of Danish origin. Some 2 million americans are of Swedish origin too
Well yeah because about 1 million emigrated to the Americas due to poverty, and a “better life”, as it’s not easy to farm here, and not enough room. Everyone has relatives in the US and Canada, but few have any contact. Most of them don’t speak Norwegian either. And we certainly don’t want them back🤣🤣🤣 Many are too right wing… as here in Norway we have way more political parties to choose from left to right and center.
Judging by your name you’re a Norwegian American? Midtgaard aka Midtgård in Norwegian meaning Middle farm. The double -a is how we used to write the -å.
@@kilipaki87oritahiti Good points. To elaborate on that, I come from Finnish heritage. They had several years of failed crops in Finland, a lot of them settled in the forests in Sweden and Norway. It's actually called "Finnskogen" (lit. Finnish forest) still, and we have a celebration of the forest Finns coming up in just a week. There's usually some Americans with Finnish ancestors there too, to learn more about the culture and history. Some from my extended family moved to Minnesota, North and South Dakota quite recently, so they still speak Norwegian fluently. It would be cool if Midtgaard was a variation of Midgard, the realm of men in Norse mythology, but it's probably like you mentioned, a farm in-between two other farms 😁
@@AudunWangen Not only forests, but many Finns came to Finnmark and Troms and got work and made a life there, my great great granddad came from Torniovalley (Finland or back then it was northen swede) and was a Kven. Vadsø in Finnmark is a town where the Kven herritage is very high.
This wasn’t meant for the Americans public, but Norwegians. Anyway, it wasn’t that good either. You shouldn’t be so sorry for the Swede’s. They love all the attention they gets. As a Norwegian I was disappointed that the Swede’s didn’t mention us in their version. I found it very rude.
No point in explaining to US citizens why Europeans see Trump as the most dangerous person alive. Understanding it requires knowledge about the world that 90% of US citizens do not possess. It's like explaining quantum physics to a 5-year old. Waste of time.

Norwegian svenskevitser are hilarious. Danish jokes are a bit difficult to understand unless in writing.
@@andreasfischer9158 Absolutely correct. Our Danish brothers may sound as if they had too many beers, but they are our brothers, all the same...

I like this humor. I loved that they asked for Sweden last. There is some rivalry there. Not sure why Sweden didnt say anything 'bad' about Norway.
We feel bad because of the jokes we use to make about Norwegians. Their jokes about us are much better, but we would never admit that.
don't take the punches norway and sweden throws at each other,it's all in good fun,they don't take it serious and neither do we when they say something about norway,we love the swedish people,like family.
Yeah, the like in the Latvian version, they joked about Lithuania. 😂

For me, watching Trump in the US election is like watching Chancellor Palpatine in the last days of The Republic =)
The Nobel Piss Price. Yea, sounds great, I will take it.

The pinnacle of American politics would be if he was elected, convicted, sentenced to prison, and had to give himself a presidential pardon 🤣
@@AudunWangen As I understand it, that is not possible. As I've been told, a president can only pardon himself from federal cases, not state cases.
@@KeesBoons But who would dare arrest Trump if he went on TV exonerating himself? I think they will do as in the Uvalde shooting and bravely run away.
I heard that 45 million Americans are of norwegian origin, similarly around 30 million Americans are of Danish origin. Some 2 million americans are of Swedish origin too
I think it's closer to 4.5 million, at least confirmed.
There are almost as many Americans with Norwegian heritage in the US as Norwegians in Norway.

The US election is this year, not next year. On November 5…
Norway and sweden is like usa/ cannada.
Sweden occupied Norway in 1814, and threatened the Norwegians when the Norwegians did'nt do as the Swedes commanded. It was a union by force.
actual we Norwegians kind of look up too swedes. or at least we used to.
Talk for yourself. East norwegians.

By principle I don't watch or subscribe to channels that have one channel for each country or topic
Funny bit, but there’s definitely a lot of Trump supporters in Norway! Make America Great Again❤

Just curious, how many countries have you lived in? 🤔
