As an American I am not at all educated on the most famous and influential Norwegians through history. Today I am very excited to rectify that and learn about the most famous and important people from Norway. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

I don't think he reads the comments on his other channels either : Ryan Bucket = Canadian themed videos, Ryan Rumple = his U.K.videos. The intro's are all identical except for the country name. I know on the other channels it might take him seeing something a few times before he'll remember it. On the Canada channel he sometimes resorts to looking for people's opinions on Reddit, so it would be funny for him to find people trying to connect with him there, since the comment section doesn't seem to work.

Chuckle! One sometimes thinks that Americans are slow in practicing understatement, but when you say, Tyler, that for Americans to learn a lot about Norwegian history is SO important and that you have have missed out at school, I realise we have been off the track, hum hum. A lot of what you say is actually interpretable in several directions, so very entertaining! "... so may Norwegians having an impact on the rest of the world" - lovely! Are you actually so average? You have the gift of making one laugh, it lights up a somewhat dreary morning here in Oslo (the capital of Norway!). Hmm, did you see that phenomenal film 'Gosford Park'? In one of the last scenes, some Americans (movie producers from Hollywood) say, "You Brits don't actually have a sense of humour, do you?" The upward-moving housemaid Elsie (having gotten the sack from the aristocratic country house and saying yes to an invite from the Americans to ride with them to London), replies something like (the speech is slightly unclear but the meaning is clear): "We do, as long as it's funny."

Many suggestions and comments here on who should be on the list. To me it demonstrate that fame is a subjective thing. Many mention Alan Walker (I'm a fan) and he has like 50(?) billion streams of his music, 3,4 billions on 1 song alone on YT. 50 billions... that does not mean that every person on earth has streamed him 6 times. He has 43 million YT subs and 31 million on spotify, and who knows on other platforms. Maybe 200 millions more know and like him. We think 'everybody' knows him, but 275 out of 8000 millions is just 3,4 % of the population. Still, 275 millions are a heck of a lot ... (My numbers are not exact but I don't think far off.)

Roald Amundsen's team became famous when they won the race against the British team, tragedy led by the "know it all idiot" Scott, to be the first people to reach the South Pole. The stuck up English man Scott did not want to learn from experts in Arctic survival (the "primitive" Inuits). Amundsen's team got their clothes and sledges and readily trained dogs from the inuits. He had also lived with them for a while to learn. Fridtjof Nansen received the Nobel Peace Price for his humanitarian work after WW1. Land borders had changed a lot, and people, without moving, ended up in a different country. Nansen issued the "Nansen Passport" to stateless refugees This was an internationally accepted passport. Thereby people could travel with an accepted passport, even if their own country did no longer exist. He also organized a lot of food aid to people in need, especially in Eastern Europe. The article forgot to mention that Knut Hamsund also was a nazi sympathizer on his old days (He had hated The British Empire a long time). His punishment after the war was lenient because of alleged senility.

Iirc, Amundsen brought dogs, while Scott tried to rely entirely on horses and eventually had to slaughter all of them. Just off the top of my head. It fits well with the same British mentality that was prevalent during the start of WWII and why the entire Norwegian campaign failed. The British always "knew better" than the locals (and then failed miserably). They've grown since then.

The fact that many of these small time actors are so high up is weird, when they can show all the top perfoming athletes the country has now. Not just Haaland and Ødegård, but Viktor Hovland, Karsten Warholm, Jakob Ingebrigsten and Casper Ruud

@@silh3345 i am norwegian btw and i have never watched norske talenter before, it just aint my thing, and for music, i dont listen to and follow new music like "liste pop" and radio hits and such, i just dont like it, i like special music that most people have never heard of before, i mostly listen to classic country like 60's country and most of the artists i listen to have allready passed away, so u can say, i never get the chance to go to concerts and such.

@@SnirlenTV that’s fair. I don’t really pay as much attention to pop and trendy music anymore either. I did in my teens, but as a 22 year old I don’t really have time to pay attention to the hots and I’ve also grown to prefer older rock and more indie artists over the super over played pop songs myself so I get that. But if you ever have the time I do recommend giving Angelina Jordan a listen as she’s got an impressive voice for her age. Even her audition on NT when she was only 7 is insanely impressive vocally.

Quisling at first place is correct, since his name became an English word. Webster's dictionary about the noun "quisling": "Quisling served as a figurehead in the puppet government set up by the German occupation forces, and his linguistic fate was sealed. Before the end of 1940, quisling was being used generically in English to refer to any traitor. Winston Churchill, George Orwell, and H. G. Wells used it in their wartime writings. Quisling lived to see his name thus immortalized, but not much longer. He was executed for treason soon after the liberation of Norway in 1945."
