These harmless national jokes are the way to true world peace. It is when we cannot laugh at ourselves that the trouble starts.

[@djangsthemangs4085]

We’re from Australia and lived in Nordics for a few years so really appreciate the sense of humour in your videos particularly towards the Swedes, Finns and Danes. Keep them coming 👏

[@GilpyElimy]

I had an ex boyfriend that didn’t believe me that Norway & Sweden love to bicker. I grew up with it! My grandfather (Swedish) & his best friend (Norwegian) would just go at it anytime they got together. It was always hilarious to watch. ❤ #madeinamericawithswedishparts

[@magdalenazukowska571]

Hello from Poland! Love your jokes. Wish you a great year and a lot of briliant ideas in describing people.

[@tlee61]

Thanks, guys, for answering my question about Erland’s American character. Certainly plenty of material to work with, no?

[@piotrmichalak9031]

I love the way you make fun of Danish pronounce their food names. You should do a part on national cuisine with special focus on Denmark. And maybe pierogi…

[@JulianaAndersson]

The Swede in the camel colored wool coat slays me! My uncle and his son wear that coat... and I had a coat like that... 😂😂😂 we are very Swedish

[@Sinivalkoseepra-yz1ke]

Thank you for making this video, it was so nice to get to know a bit more about you two! I don't know why, but the fact that you are actually neighbours and good friends is so cool to me. 😁 (maybe it is because of my finnishness, the fact that I don't even know my neighbours because I have always avoided talking to them at all costs 😅)

[@mina233]

You guys are fun just to be there. Thank you, watching these makes you forget bad and boring things for a while.

[@CocoWms]

Hands down, my favorite IG duo! 👏 Life wouldn’t be the same without your Friday “veekend” posts! 😂 Your antics are so hilarious & I always watch each & every video more than once! Please make more merch! 🙏🤞😍 Thanks for all the laughs & chuckles & guffaws! 🤣😂🤣

[@shannonsullivan2109]

I live in the US, Mustang, Oklahoma, to be exact. I am Swedish on my father's side of the family. Y'all make me laugh all the time! Thank you so much and I love your humor! The world needs more laughter!

[@ReneePhares]

I love to hear you laugh together! Thank you for your fun videos! ☺️

[@bhomey]

American living in København. Love it when you make fun of the Danes! Tak for det!

[@lemsip207]

The Danish character seems to be overly gregarious and as much as the French and the Italian ones.

[@ladyknightscot]

great video guys. Love your content. I grew up in a Finnish community in the States and when you do the Finnish skits im in stiches and i send them back home and they love it. When you are going to poke fun at the Scottish? Its were I live now. besides I think you both need to put a kilt on. lol

[@antonellapetrella]

I’m Italian and my husband is Danish, we follow you from Italy: we find you very funny 👏👏 keep up the good job 👌

[@PhoebeTerry]

I think your low-key humor is the perfect antidote to a lot of the negative social media content out there. I especially enjoy the videos where you play off the differences between Norway and the other Scandinavian countries. Lots of love from Maryland, USA! ❤️

[@Joannagrabska24]

Yes, I want more videos like this:)

[@AnnaOrlicka]

Hello from Warsaw! You are hilarious. Each Friday I am suprised with the level of Your craziness 😉. Thank You for connecting people of Europe and beyond with laughter. Polish people are the biggest non Norwegian population (112k) in Norway (6mln) and I hope we will get better together in time, not to be juged too harshly. Visit Poland some time and check it out Yourself or maybe You have been already? I advise Gdańsk, Sopot & Kraków💕

[@helgip.j6583]

I would love to visit Poland some day❤🤩

[@AnnaOrlicka]

In Sopot or Gdańsk I see Scandinavians in T-shirts while we are wearing jackets ;) I think You will have a great time here with food, drink and parties. We had Vikings visits arround Baltic Sea also had swedish King Sigismundus Waza the III in 1587 and "swedish flood" back in 1660 heavily invaded down to the South of Poland. You are welcome, your Scandonavian DNA is already here 😂

[@silviasylleke952]

Hi, I am an Italian naturalized Dutch citizen and I live in Finland. I always look at you and you are very nice. Ciao, daag, hei hei

[@missinginastitch]

Everything you do is fun! Even the q&a 😄 which is nice to see like 4 times a year or on special times of the year. Have a Happy and FUN New Year 🎇🎉🎇

[@robinsmith5257]

Finnish hoodie state secret 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mina233]

Maybe Santa will bring us those hoodies next Christmas...

[@SakuyaKiciKici]

Thanks, It was nice to get to know you more 😊! And thanks for all funny content you make ❤ Hugs from Poland!

[@shedancesonthesand]

Keep the videos coming! They provide a light in these dark and crazy times! 😬💕

[@pamelaharris4016]

Thank you! Loved this video. You and we are so lucky you "two wild and crazy guys" moved next door to each other! Your gift to the world...laughter.

More KZbin videos please!! It was so nice to spend more than a minute with you guys. Thanks for all the laughs and keep on cracking.

[@RolfOldenburger]

Really ❤ you guys! Keep doing the fun stuff!

[@tengericsillag7865]

You are so kind, funny and humble. ❤ Hug from Hungary

[@victorpalmacarrasco7824]

Amazing and healthy jokes guys! Thanks a lot on that, and don't stop coming up with more - Finnish please - jokes! Pure talent!! 🤗

[@MaryLMeyer]

I love you guys! Keep it up. And of course, more Q&A!! You’ve got to answer all the 1000’s of fan mail!! 😅

[@margarita.casilda]

Finnish are really great..i've living in Finland many yearsand as a spanish...make me laugh a lot...

[@_MR76_]

Really like your videos! This was nice q&a. Greetings from Finland with secret hoodie.😂

[@helgi.and.erlend]

Thank you 🙏😂

[@EditeJanina]

You always make me smile and laugh - thank you! And, yes, it would be fun to watch another Q & A. As a Latvian-Canadian, I can say you've figured out lots of Canadian traits, but it's going to be more difficult to figure out the Latvians - good luck!

[@catherinemeilleur3973]

Thank you both for these special fun moments, short and punchy ! I'm french and béret plus baguette are inévitable clichés but I really appreciate our behaviour tics 😅 like italian and spanish.. @Helgi, you're totally a latin european ! Derision is the most powerful of all ! Nice to learn that you are friends 😊

[@christineholman4471]

Thank you for answering my question. You fellas are a delight to watch . Thank you for the laughs and the smiles that i have after watching your funny antics. Bless you and have a great new year! Looking forward to more fun adventures 😊🇺🇸

[@krischamberlain2027]

Yes more please. You two are like I remember college buddies. 😂very funny.

[@mappuz]

Your videos are funny and entertaining. We want more of them! Also Q&A. Greetings from Finland. We need a recipe for the cookies.

[@Diana1000Smiles]

☺️ cookies, yum.

[@gwoztom]

Hallo from Myślenice Poland! interesting and addictive q&a .Iam planning go by motorcycle to Nordkapp and i like Scandinavia!

[@pameladee]

I’m Nor-veegian and love watching you guys! I’m in the USA, Arizona to be exact. Howdy, pardners!

[@angellindsay5854]

This was great. I've heard you answer some of these questions before, when you've done a Live, but it's always interesting and lovely to see you both! 😍

[@marina_morris]

Your videos always cheer me up and I look forward to new ones. Thank you so much!!!

[@braddoingstuff]

Such "feel good" videos - even though they you are worlds apart from South Africa where I live! Keep up the good work.

[@therovingranger]

I really enjoyed the q&a! I hope you do more videos like this! 😄 It was really fun to hear how it all started!

[@Sunny-pr1qw]

you may not need it, but a suggestion for a video: How Happy Birthday is sung in...btw you guys are just so darn cute! I love your humor, you make me laugh so much!! :) xox

[@leilamemet1587]

So funny!! I loved the part of romanian who goes to work with harmonika!! So romanian, good representation of my nation!! Keep doing, I suscribed for your sense of humor! So cool!!

[@petrakatar8098]

Love your Friday jokes, and all the others too of course. My Mums name was Helga. Wish you "Guten Rutsch" into the "Neues Jahr 2024". Never forget: Sicherheit zuerst. 🎉🎉🎉

[@annglaister]

What a great episode thank you so much for all the effort that you put in Fridays wouldn’t be the same without you ..chin chin chaps from the UK 🇬🇧 🎉🎉😊

[@barbarahulman9843]

You always make me laugh. ❤ Greetings from Hungary.

[@sonias.7856]

Of course we want more videos like this

[@sheilat146]

Best Danish food ever….Frikadeller. Cannot get enough of them!!

[@danyceroppe463]

Yes please! I’m from Mn and our family (Haugen and Taie) came from Norway in the early 1900s. I’d heard of the sibling rivalry btwn Norway and Sweden….i enjoy you both so much. ☺️

[@CatherineLevin-m7v]

Yes, more please!!

[@maryspear4989]

What fun! Thank you!!

[@helhaimm]

I really like you guys and your content. Please make more q&a videos like this. ❤ greetings from Poland.

[@sarahgardiner8680]

I love watching your content. It always gives me a laugh. I'm Australian and my boyfriend was Norwegian. I'll be going back to Norway again next year. I'm hoping to see a bit more of it this time.

[@IrenEvgen]

Thank you very much guys! And we are waiting for the next videos.😊

[@SZachkoVlog]

Let be you guys and all the joys brought to this world!!!!!!❤😂🎉❤😂😂

[@icychameleon]

A moment of pure joy when I watch your videos. Has there been any video on different nations going to sauna? Whatabout different nations going to gym/working out?

[@whitelytr]

I have been hoping you guys could do me a HUGE favour by taking us all on a tour of Moss and Fredrickstad! My ancestor was born in Moss. He died in Fredrickstad. Christian Larsen Kierbye.... tracked my family as far back as the 1600s. It's very important to me! I now proudly display the Norwegian flag in my Lounge Room 😀 Hopefully, I'll be alive long enough to spend years in Norway... that's my dream... even if I have to spend 7 years in Svalbard! Haha

[@KasiaDolato-zk2dx]

the Swede is my absolute favourite makes my day every time x

[@patricwarnebo792]

In some strange way, I like you completely crazy Norwegians (these two lyres are not deviant to other Norwegians - normal condition for a Norwegian). It's just as fun with your attacks on us Swedes. We get a good laugh through your little brother's complex! ❤😂🇸🇪💪🏻

[@lindaincontri9357]

Hey, guys! This video of yours is awesome. I'm from the "creepy" Italy and believe me: you could find more weirdos inspiration, over here. Stay as magic as you are. Hug you 😂❤ Linda

[@ИванДилков]

Hi there! Is being Norwegian just like being Bulgarian? We are waiting for it. Happy holidays!

[@lorispencer2046]

Hello international superstars! I really enjoy your content, and I hope it continues for a very long time. Laughter really is the best medicine. ❤

[@yasminegheytanifard533]

😍 Keep up your good job guys, it brings so much fun to all👏🌹🌹 thank you 💐

[@anne-maristrandman5136]

More, please ❤

[@ronichristensen2448]

🇳🇴Just love the Wild Weekend Norwegians! Fun to get to know a bit more about the guys under the red beanies! Keep up the good work! All the best in 2024! 😍 ❤

[@sandyreed8952]

Thank you for the Q and A. Nice to get some background on you guys

[@mariaioanna75]

Hello from Greece 🇬🇷 i love your humour

[@incensejunkie7516]

I hope you can answer the one I asked in another video 😉...but a question I didn't ask but often wondered is are you exaggerating your accents when you speak in English? Obviously answer is no, or minimally. Often when joking around here in Canada we might talk in stereotypes (aka Bob and Doug McKenzie) and exaggerate the "eh" but never in normal conversation. Would love to see a part 2...3...4....5, maybe even 6!

[@anthonyrobinson2964]

yes more questions and answers

[@sheilaghwatson8360]

Yes more please.

[@amymasi9110]

“Whenever we meet somebody, they’re not from Norway” 😂 I can’t imagine Norwegians rushing up to social media influencers, maybe a polite nod as they pass you, but probably no eye contact?? 😅

[@kntallgren]

Ja, jag vill gärna se fler videor. Bloopers skulle vara kul!

[@TheTeachaway]

I love you guys. Keep producing these hilarious pieces. I am so happy you have answered these questions because now I know more about you two. You two really are from Norway! You two really are weird neighbors with a great sense of humor. I did not know that Sweden and Norway were in a union. Now these clips have more meaning for me when I watch them. Keep on trucking!

[@BethAlbekeit]

Love the red toques

[@paulam.3604]

I am from Brazil and I also want to buy a Finnish hoodie 😅.

[@sarahgilbert8036]

Actually, there's a similar one being sold in Canada.

[@MrsAddisons]

Thanks a lot for making me laugh! Regards from Italy

[@klimtkahlo]

Greetings from Portugal! 🇵🇹❤

[@carolynroberts1553]

I’m from the US, but my ancestors came from Norway in the 1800s. Your content really brightens up my day. Helge, it is vital and important work that you do for your day job. I appreciate both of you and your humor very much!!😂

[@loistverberg900]

Mine are too. We have Norwegian joke books around the house and their humor seems similar - poking fun at ourselves and others.

[@loufrank2518]

oh my you two love it

[@galgal8333]

More of the British guys please... 😂

[@sandrakooiker8304]

Spot on jokes! 🤣

[@sjoerdslavenburg7775]

Great video guys, very funny. I'm Dutch living in Amsterdam learning lit norsk. Do you have a video about Holland or Amsterdam yet? Please do! Ha det bra!

[@UmvimvaniT]

For pokker, jeg gik glip af det. Boooo hoooo. Please do it again !!! Godt nytår!

[@marymcnay7335]

How about sharing recipes for the Christmas cookies?

[@jordanbetts1572]

It is weird to see you two indoors. 😂

[@antonkartashov7652]

You guys cool! Thanks a lot for the content, move on 🚀 I follow on 😅

You are cool!

[@Simonaujr]

Guys, you are incredible! I’m in love with you both. My favorites are Finnish and Danish guys 🤣 Please, add Ukrainians to your next videos 🙏🇺🇦

[@corriekerr4357]

Good thing after you fired those 52 people from their original jobs, you still used them to inhabit the 52 personalities you showcase for us!! No, really, you are talented video editors & amazingly all of that tedious production work doesn’t dull your sharp humor! 🎉
