Brit Reacts to Grotesco - Runka Bulle (Swedish Comedy)

[@cyclonemouse]

Christians in sweden did the most swede thing ever. Put their closed fist in their pocket and wrote one or two angry editorials to the newspapers-

[@Ortos5]

As a christian in sweden I would say most of us laughed with the rest of the people, at least in my circle. Then we got the conservative Christians that 17 years later think this is such a big deal that everyone should know what happened the 21:th of november 2007, when SVT "humiliated" Jesus 😆

@@Ortos5 Oh yes... The leader of the Christian Democratic Party, Ebba Busch, actually more or less mentioned this video last year on Facebook (and boy was she hurt by this video): "Where were all of you who now claim to defend the feelings of believers the 21st of November 2007, when SVT on prime time humiliated Christ?" I laugh at her video the same way I do this Grotesco clip.

[@michaelmay5453]

@@Ortos5 As a Swedish atheist, we like our Christians for the most part, there are two kinds, people like you and fucking arseholes (which actually goes for everyone regardless of religion or lack there of). I do think you'll agree on that too. I worked for a man for 7 years and when he invited me to Pesach I did not mind, nor do I mind if you say you'll pray for me. It's just that those things do things for you, not me. If you want to help me (this is the royal me, not me in particular, I have far more than any human could need) then do that instead. If we could go back to 1988 on all this shit in law we'd both get our wish. (or prayer heard, in your case)

In Sweden in the 70s 80s and 90s, they showed a LOT of British humour on Swedish television. Fawlty Towers, Mr Bean, Benny Hill, Blackadder aso so I guess we sort of learned a lot of humpur from you guys. Or maybe British humour just suited us to begin with.

[@SkadadeLjud]

maybe the other sign of the coin of both countries being quite serious and dry a lot of the times means we end up with a similar level of whackiness to our humour

The soggy biscuit game. A game where at least 2 people (preferably 4 or more) stand in a ring around a biscuit and j3rk off. The aim of the game is to come on the biscuit as quickly as possible, whoever comes last must eat the biscuit.

We did this often when we had boys party and got drunk before going out to the Bars and Night Clubs

[@martinwiren3085]

Most of the participants got stressed and started to laugh..and of course had to eat the Biscuit..the 80thies was tough in Sweden!

[@2canines]

@@martinwiren3085 I remembered people joking about it in the 90's but i always thought it was like an urban legend, didn't think people actually did it. Even with liberal use of powerful intoxicants, I just can't imagine getting 4 straight guys agreeing to do it at the same time. i could see it going down like that if that "night club" was a gay club. You know, with friends like that the threshold wouldn't be so terribly high.😊

You must finish it. The story is a broader picture not just this sketch it´s ends with him beeing saved and happy walking out of the church and then being shoot whith a harpoon in his chest fore absolutely no reason at all. Thats the ending. And that is chocking humor of Grotesco.

[@Noobs343]

You should also listen to "Tomten Är En Kommunist" = Santa is a communist by Henrik Dorsin, you can choose Enligsh Subtitles there. Henrik Dorsin is one of the, and scripters to Grotesco.

As a christian myself you just laugh to things like this, I mean it doesnt stop me from believing or having a faith at all and doesnt stop others from doing it aswell so why take humour so serious. I know for a fact that the only thing stopping peoples from changing beliefs no matter if it is religions or not is then people try to force it on someone. So laugh while you live :D

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Swedes definitely are very open-minded and positive about that particular activity. In Finnish sketch series that activity is portrayed in a much more negative fashion-if at all-and on top of it's portrayed as something that originates from Sweden: "Vemparen - Finland edition (Ihmebantu)". The only person who speaks about it with some level of openness is a Finnish-Swede comedian, and not even he is praising it: "André Wickström. Stand-Up Comedy in English. The Finnish Winter War vs.". The correct response is probably somewhere between.

[@mikkohapponen5728]

Baptists churches are rare, so most Christian Swedews where like "lol, Baptists are nuts". I saw one comment from someone who said that he grew up being part of a Baptist church, and he said that this was like a perfect representation. I once accidentally ended up in a sermon the day after partying on a Saturday (with a sleep over), dressed in silly student union clothes and hung over (as one easily gets). I went in to the wrong part of the Church. Was going to go and see a friends choir performance in the youth quarters of the same building. It was one of the dumbest shit i have ever done. I couldn't leave early because it was so embarrassing, but they appeared to be pretty neat compared to what I have heard about Baptists in America. A lot of amen and hallelujah. The theme was honey, which was yellow. So they where all told to put their hands on someone who was dressed in yellow. I was dressed completely in yellow and black XD. It was a nice experience. Something I would never have experienced if not for it being an accident. The people sitting next to me probably realized that I was in the wrong place and smiled gently. :)

[@SandraLugn-nc1rk]

This is not accurate for the Swedish church (the biggest church organisation in Sweden), but the hole astetic of laing the hand one the head to take away sinn is accurate for some smaller churches. Seeing this I also starts to understand how obscene the expression "runka bulle" is if you translate it literly it beccome "masstrubate a cinnamon-bun". /Swedish woman

@@P4hkoIt’s a proud ancient viking tradition where we stand in a circle around a cinamon bun and wank on it untill the last one to finnish is forced to eat it. We do this to honour the god Frey every Friday who penetrated the earth and impregnated the soill with his seed to make it fertile again and bring an end to the eternal finbullwinter. Every year at midsummer we raise a pole covered in leafs with two balls to symbolize his penis and then we dance around it all night singing songs in his honour while bumping in to eachother. Be gratefull to Frey because without him the ice age would have never ended! He sacrificed his seed for us to sleep with mother earth who was made out of a slained giant.

Im from Sweden we have the lowest amount of christians in all of europe. I think 78% or something are ateists or agnostics, I would guess like at least 10% of the rest are muslims, I personally dont know a singel person that is religious. Cant name one person I know of that is Christian. I see some muslims outside sometimes but thats it. There may be some more Christians out in the countryside. Sweden has like a "belt of Christians" in the middle of the country where there are more chistians but cant really tell when I visited there.

Curious why "bulle" is translates as "biscuit", it is not the same thing. it should be "bun". So the whole premise of this (presumed) legend, is that a group of guys do the deed as described, and glace the bun. Then one of the poor guys has to eat it. I think it is a myth from the locker rooms of Sweden, or something like that :)

[@Hallonbot]

Because ”soggy biscuit” is the most common term in English for the same activity.

[@TDrudley]

It is funny that the whole, thing is, don't do it, because jesus will always finish last.

[@axelv1753]

This comedy group is a lot of fun but they lack the one thing that is the mark of greatness in their field: provoking current hegemony and main lines of thought. Instead they are kicking the people who are already on the outskirts of society (yes strong christian identity has been long ridiculed in sweden). Monthy python did the opposite - they made fun of christianity when it still was very powerful in the uk. They made a difference. If Grotesco (the people are still very, very active) wanted to be great they would do this type of comedy about islam. (Islam is still not modernized and humanized which is desperately needed.) But they are too irrelevant and power hugging to do that. They will be quickly forgotten. Monty python not.

[@Johannes1321]

You do know this act is very old right? Also, making this kind of satirical work of Islam in sweden now would be a huge mistake and would probably not end well for them.
