Norwegian sense of humour

DrIndy

For all concerned and those who think I have a strange sense of humour, please recall I am half norwegian.

This is the true full blown norwegian sense of humour:

iv been asked to help organise some dragon costumes and wear them in the Gay pride parade this saturday at 1pm (Parnellel square if anyones interested in watching it!).

i got a text message this morning telling me i was being recruited cos apparently im arty and pink suits me, AND i have to wear this massive pink dragon thing WALKING UP AND DOWN o;connell street in it!i might get to be on the news!

should be good fun all the same...pink is one of my favorite colours...

I liked that ad, i'll be smiling about dancing sperm at odd moments for a day or two now.

But, is the humour specifically norwegian? Indy - a challenge! Find some humour that is norwegian unique, that we can scratch our heads over and think 'wtf? i don't get it'.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It's the country for me.

You're so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.


You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Finland has it all.

I've never been to Norway, but I really, really, really, like finland.

Norwegian TV took the decision a few years back that humour sells and about half the ads on TV are intended to make you laugh. Theory being, if the ads are funny, you won't change channels.

Many of the ads you see on those "ads from around the world" comedy programs are actually norwegian...

This is NOT chicago, but clearly norway. "For a better start to your day" it says at the end......
