Geggjuð!

"Vikings don't small talk" LOL

[@EVZYL]

I've been to Iceland - went in mid-winter and loved every minute of it. The people were friendly and sincere. A highly recommended destination.

[@RobSmith2016]

Really good, never seen an Icelandic comedian before, but you made a really good impression on me.

[@Bobby.Kristensen]

Master race of nordic countries.

[@moonlily1]

Just don't ask if she believes in elves. DON'T ASK ABOUT THE ELVES!

[@savednorwegian]

Lol yes, very true. *Have you heard about the High Elves?*

[@moonlily1]

@@savednorwegian No, but now I'm dying to.

[@vikingrebalgrindjaniicelan1369]

The ENGLISH language And ICELANDIC Are so different And KZbin Always When I am trying to read From icelandic to ENGLISH It doesn't translate well

[@faisalsyahreza4377]

perhaps magnusdottir?

[@scottmcphee2076]

Amusing. I am only discovering the Scandinavian comedy scene. Another stand up comedian from Iceland, appeared as a guest on a TV show last night. This is what led me here.

[@mrunalturalkar8405]

Was it Ari Eldjarn?

[@jaydeepsen4769]

@@mrunalturalkar8405 Ari led me here and I was searching for Ari Ari which is an Indian metal song by Bloodywood, a metal band....I don't know how I landed here

[@JackRascal]

Really good. I was worried you were going to be nervous at the start, but that was great.

[@hrafnhildurviarsdottir2174]

Hahahahahaha snillingur!!!! Btw, með þetta "grænland allt í ís og Ísland grænt".... Vá hvað ég var spurð oft að þessu þegar ég bjó í Alabama!!!! I feel your pain :) En vel gert, flott uppistand :)

Þetta er brilliant! Hversvegna hefur maður ekki séð meira af þessum snillingi!?

[@Bobby.Kristensen]

Okej, lugna ner dig nu. Sånna krummelurer är lite väl mycket.

[@Shaeith]

Synes begge to i skal slappe helt af med det ævl der.

[@matttrafton2725]

As a shield maiden it would be much more intressant if you wore a Viking outfit. Just to intimate the potential hecklers. Bless.

[@fififornow8031]

Why’s her English perfect ?

[@j-monk3063]

Inga Magnusson/Kristjansdottir? Like i understand your indeginous naming traditions of being named after Grandpa/Papa but what happened??

[@eog1234]

Just out of convenience i would think. Magnusson sounds like a real name. I've heard of Icelandic families getting into trouble at airports e.g. because no one has the same last name except for the children which can raise questions while traveling abroad 😆

[@jonthehall]

this choice of comic material is.... interresting.

[@stephenbanks9543]

Shouldn't her name be Inga Magnusdottir since she is a woman?

[@steinardarri]

I think her husband is a son of Magnús and she adopted his surname when she became an American citizen Edit: Yep, it seems like this video is on her channel and her given surname is Kristjánsdóttir

[@Erik_Emer]

Maybe the American legal system wouldn't understand if she had/allow her to have a different surname from her husbands

[@DerekSVNLD]

Lol you're not required to change your name when you marry. Lots of women don't.

[@Erik_Emer]

@Ben Ghazi How tired was I when I typed that? Let me try again. It looks like she got married in the States and decided to change her last name, even though she could probably retain it.

[@moonlily1]

@@Erik_Emer Yes, you can retain your surname and some people also choose to hyphenate, like Inga Kristjansdottir-Magnusson, but it's also possible for some not-so-bright people here to get confused is two spouses have different names because they are accustomed to women taking their husband's name and haven't adjusted to the 21st century yet. My mother kept her husband's name after divorce so there wouldn't be any issues, legally or socially, with her having a different surname as her child, which would be ridiculous in Iceland because many people have different surnames than their child. However, keeping his name causes a little but of confusion because her ex husband was Arabic and she is clearly white.

[@BanditoBurrito]

That's such a cool surname, because you can tell she had an ancestor named Magnus.

[@magnusgulaugsson6257]

I dont think you know Iceland at all lol. Im Magnus but not one of many Magnus in Iceland relatet to her.

[@benedictewrstad8379]

Not really, I’m guessing her father in law was called Magnus, as Magnusson is a typical name for a man (son of Magnus) The tradition in Iceland is to be named your fathers name + son or daughter. Her channel is called Inga Kristjansdottir, so I would rather think that her fathers name is Kristjan. One of my middle names are Thorsdatter (daughter of Thor) because my parents liked the tradition even though we are norwegians

[@Fuar11]

her father

[@n0lain]

Not too funny but I'm kinda supposed to support her since she's also Icelandic Meh, we have better ones

[@kurtsudheim825]

Not brilliant, but certainly not bad

[@kurtsudheim825]

Considering germans & scandi's are supposed to have THAT type of humour, she certainly wasn't bad considering she's just learnt the language! A few small imperfections like timing/ flow, mentioning the vikings a bit to much, it felt too forced etc. but overall more than decent

[@amossutandi]

try out henning wehn

[@wkwk2o384ur]

She's quite cringe lol, Ari Eldjárn does it a 1000x time better.
