+turbostewi We actually don't drink vodka in finland, we drink viina, which looks the same but the taste is completely different. The kaurismäki movies are not that far away from reality , but of course they are exaggeratedd a little bit. I think they show what finland used to be like in the 70-80's but nowadays we're pretty international and outgoing. But every now and then you will find somebody who is straight out of a kaurismäki movie. For example our F1 driver Kimi Räikkönen is a good example.

Tae Young Ahn Actually, everybody in Finland speaks Finnish (except immigrants and the like) - some Swedish-speaking Finns just have an accent when they do (they're usually from the west coast or Åland Islands). XD Kalle is also a man's name. Seeing it on a woman is quite a pun.

***** Netherlandish? We have a clip!

[@timomastosalo]

***** Better to say: The way many American English perceive and imitate Scandinavians. That's still closer to Swedish than Finnish. They usually don't have an experience of Finnish, but of some Sandinavian and the German language. So yah, yah is Swedish, German for them. The ascetisism, and bluntness, abruptness in this vid was Finnish. Well, the way Finns go stiff and alert when they 'have to behave', not being allowed to be themselves, the non-pretending country folk we'd like to be without having to be on guard to perform the etiquette. Often Finns only perceve this need of restricting themselves, so it's a self-made restriction, often. Swedes have their court experience for hundreds of years, parfumed wig parties, so they wouldn't behave like this 'Kalle'. :)

But once we do get closer we actually get very warm and experience friendship, love and family all the more deeply.

Thank you so much Elaini.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

the writers on snl did a genious thing there... thats how you deliver a running gag! Katy is cool :-)

[@ryanchrisgomez]

The amount of Finns in the comments picking apart the finer details of what is clearly meant to be silly, ridiculous satire is sort of underscoring the points implied in the video lol

[@jaffaorange3809]

I haven't the faintest clue as to why SNL made a skit about a Finnish talkshow. But it worked, from the catchy theme tune to the "We have a clip" device.

[@craiggie1628]

Kristen's father is of Norwegian descent. She seemed to have some interest in doing the occasional Scandinavian characters, including Björk.

[@kunaldhawan5952]

“I’m gonna leave now.” - They all do. (Wow that’s dark)

[@LokNWykLeer]

I love that charakter! :D

[@matthewscott1091]

3:33 👩🏻 “When did that happen?” 👩🏼 “Ze future” 😳 Well that was a chilling moment. Lol 😂

[@vyxairotciv4333]

I didn't think I was gunna laugh. That shyt was funny AF.

[@legoflamp488]

Can't get enough of Kristen Wiig... i have got a clip!!

[@JadenYukiTsukishiro]

I have just realized that when Katy says "I..." that sounds like "eye" that's why they show her eye XD

[@michaelm1175]

Made the mistake of taking a drink, just as they had a clip of Katy coming on to the show. Fizzy juice right through the nostrils! So funny, I nearly choked to death!

[@mariharjuskeie453]

The only thing that vaguely reminded me of Finnish TV was the introduction and ending graphics, otherwise it seems like SNL completely missed any Finnish stereotypes and mixed it up with Scandinavian ones

[@mariharjuskeie453]

Yeah I get you, I’m half Finnish and half Norwegian myself. Not that SNL’s Scandinavian sketches are any better, but I don’t blame them for being inaccurate when they have so many sketches to churn out each week since it’s just for laughs. Although it’s a tiny bit annoying, cause like if you’re gonna poke fun at stereotypes that happen to be inaccurate, at least remember who those inaccurate stereotypes apply to lol

[@morpheus6749]

This is the first time *EVER* I'm hearing Finland is not a Scandinavian country. I think you're lying. Or drunk.

[@mariharjuskeie453]

Common misconception, people tend to thing the Nordics and Scandinavia are one and the same, which is not true. Finnish and Iceland are part of the Nordic region, which includes all of Scandinavia. Scandinavia consists of three countries who share three close-knit languages and cultures: Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The more you know.

[@morpheus6749]

@@mariharjuskeie453 Interesting bit of information. I've learned something new from presumably a reliable source, judging by your name. Thank you.

[@yoshiki.g1450]

1:46 Katy: I understand that but when I came to your show... Kristen: Oh we have a clip. LMAO...:D

[@Blablarrr]

Best research Team EU.

[@TheYago93]

love this, pls more!

[@kkkkkkkkk5975]

btw, Kalle isn't female's name.

[@JarrodHahn]

The vast research team at the end is what got me🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheOfficialSamwell]

"Ooh! We have a clip!" such a funny gag.

[@Roiiboss]

Finnish accent must be the hardest one to impersonate. Haven't met a single one who could do it. Also, they need more info how Finns spend their evenings. But we are indeed 'stiff'/emotionless, that one was true.

[@lindanimated]

Yes, they need to show her at home drinking Koskenkorva or Lapin Kulta. ;)

[@4everbrittana]

i'm finnish and not even i can do the "finnish accent" :D

[@darkmage7280]

Khams No, we are not stiff and emotionless. No. Give me ten minutes and I shall cease frowning. And then comment further.

[@liadaskalopoulos6745]

I'm Finnish-American and I can do the Finnish accent (even though I have an American accent while speaking normally) :D

[@Bevity]

Actually, they seem very serious.

[@Deva7]

Next time Kalle needs to invite Kim K., ask her how she got famous and play a clip.

[@horizonte-music9990]

"Se fjutscha" XD XD XD Best line. XD

[@jaykay6249]

I have fallen in love with the intro. Already seen it 20 times.

[@alisky8551]

Always come back for this. Amazing skit.

[@anzo5577]

Kalle is a nickname for Karl in swedish

[@BB-zy2te]

What is this accent. I have been to Finland 8 times as well as being part finish and kristen wigg is nothing like a finnish person

[@BB-zy2te]

Mikael Parrilla lol

[@holoholopainen1627]

What is - part finish ? Did You gross the Finish Line or Finnish Line ?

[@juliatamara905]

katy’s emotionless acting made it funnier

[@absoluteterror9098]

"When did that happen?" "It's the future" 😂

[@rva]

how very funny. how do I apply

[@wylier]

Easy - we have a clip! :-P

[@formicidaeinc.8075]

I was kind of expecting them to just stay silent

[@DaAtte]

That accent is more of a... I dunno, german-somethingsomething accent? Also, we Finns actually tend to speak pretty slowly (at least English since it's so much different language than our own). And the name Kalle, it's a boys name, not girls. Sure, in Finalnd there can be gorls named with a boys name and vice versa but it's super rare. This video did not have a good research team...

[@keeelane]

not german, dutch or swedish

[@RowBlanka]

Da Atte doesnt sound like german at all

[@lajoswinkler]

I think you don't have a sense of humor. If you had one, you'd realize this was ... humor, not a documentary.

[@moow950]

Finnish is really a weird language, can’t recognize a single word in it. Just like Hungarian. Alien languages.

[@jokuihmehyyppa]

@@lajoswinkler Humor about stereotypes can be great but it requires knowing what stereotypes are associated with the culture you're making fun of. This thing is a whole lot of nonsense and basically the only remotely funny thing is having a clip for everything - which can't even be associated with Finnish talk shows so they could've just stuck with a setting they'd be more familiar with instead of trying to make fun of Finns and failing in the process. Still waiting for someone to make a brilliant sketch using some proper rally English...

[@maxxh5331]

It's funny how she happily says "we have a clip" throughout, but at 2:38, she says it regretfully.

[@notbovvered]

You snapped. We have a clip. 🤣😁

[@MichaelRosenSayingNoice]

"Ze footcher."
