Yes, this was refreshing on the NordVPN skit, seen so many of those I know the contents of the ad by heart, not this time!

[@pekuja]

"Paha" can also mean "bad" and the sign says "bad-tasting acai sorbet".

[@bror8228]

I agree...the word "evil tasting" does not exist in Finnish vocabulary....

5:50 And that "Mökki" was made in Finland. 🤗 Honka Log Cabin - by Royal Appointment 1969.

[@magicofshootingstar5825]

I was thinking that that looks awful lot like Finnish cabins 😃

[@Narangarath]

I thought it HAD to be a Honka cabin, the look is very distinct (and familiar)!

[@floor.mp3]

I usually skip sponsor segments because it's always the same thing, but not this time! Funny little skit there dave good job ❤

[@davecad]

That's nice to hear! thank you

[@Vvopat96]

I do the same, Dave is master of them, one of the few I don't skip

[@Hukkahanska]

This was really well done. I actually bought NordVPN thanks to this video.

I was looking at the dude in the background at the start of the video wondering of that's gonna be a sponsor segment skit, had to go back to check even tho I have a sponsor skipper extension

[@markwickens2756]

I watched every bit of the sponsor portion and enjoyed it!

[@veera5450]

8:57 there is a swamp called Homeperseensuo (Mold ass swamp) near Hamina 😂. I think that the finnish army still uses it for training.

maybe because all the Mosas are there with their asses covered in mold lol

[@squidcaps4308]

The thing about Queens mökki is that is is traditional Nordic log cabin, the same construction method was exported to USA which is why you see a lot of log cabins built the same way..

[@tupufoks]

Oh dear, I'm pretty sure there is at least a few companies in Finland who would like to pay you to go to those places! It would be DIFFERENT to any other ads or sponsored content and I'm sure it would tickle the Finnish taste of weird humor :D

[@RISKI25904]

10:00 paha means also bad so it says that it tastes bad

The host of the finnish "do you want to be a millionaire" is the least serious guy ever. He'll joke about everything. I bet he insisted they have the bangkok question in there 😄

Antti Holma has his own YT page and it’s hillarious. 😂

[@magicofshootingstar5825]

Language can tell a lot of what people think of things. One thing that always fascinates me regarding to last post you read: In Finland: Skiing= cross-country skiing (hiihto) Down-hill skiing = down-hill skiing (laskettelu, directly translates to sloping down) At least all English speaking countries: Skiing: down-hill skiing Cross-country skiing= cross-country skiing I guess that tells a lot which one is the normal and which one is special in different countries 😃

[@fjallmann]

I guess I am crazy that I actually like listening to Finnish though I don't understand too much (nyt opiskelen). Tämä video on hyvä :)

[@kingmuizz708]

Honestly Finland is one of the few places that I have heard only good things. I'm very excited to be able to go there in a few months :)

[@dex4sure361]

Finnish state is just good with propaganda. Happiest country in the world with one of the highest antidepressant usages per capita 🤣🤣 One of the highest % of suicides and alcohol related deaths in Europe.

[@kingmuizz708]

@@dex4sure361 oh ik, my friend lives there 😅I'm just excited to see the sights man.

[@LarryJL]

​@@dex4sure361 You know the "happiest place in the world" is calculated with like quality of living metrics etc. It's not like "They're the most happy people when we asked in the street!" +High suicide rate is really strongly linked with the dark winters. And the depression medication thing is also affected by Finland having a lower criteria for it since depression is taken very seriously in Finland. Not necessarily people being depressed more.

[@idiotically-everything]

Lemme tell you about the reasons UN is mad at us. For one, trans rights are stuck in the ancient past, if you transition you will be forcibly sterilized. Not to mention rampant racism and neo nazis are pretty common. Of course, with everything else who could forget the Sámi people whose rights are being trampled. Not to forget we have a ton of deaths due to drug overdoses. Oh and fur farming, it is forcibly being kept alive. There are issues

[@VesperHelsing]

OMG I am that VesperHelsing who posted the pic of the hospital bill!! Thanks Dave! 😀

[@mohammadyeasinkhan6885]

Such a fun sponsor segment! If only other youtubers did this.

[@athmosperic]

Hey Dave, you should do a cross-country skiing video (or a video series) where you learn how to ski.

[@jenna2051]

loved the skit for the sponsor segment! Made it interesting to listen to :D

[@bertta_]

:0 i love these as a finn. I can say these are hilarious to watch and see some finnish humor.

[@thesilentshopper]

Very entertaining, these reddit videos. Will keep watching.

[@Pinjamiini]

You MUST make video about you cross-country skiing, please!! Waiting snow and your video!

[@kielomariamaja1037]

... oh and Dave, you would not be bad at cross counry skiing! It will just take some practice and sooner than you know you will be enjoying it with your whole family. We used to go for long skiing trips with a thermos filled with cocoa, chocolate, oranges, chocoleate, some Carelian pastries with cheese and pulla when I was little. You could totally do it! We live close to Tuomarinkylän kartano and it is an amazing destination for a nice skiing trip.

[@ThundrGurl]

Moomin is what nightmares are made of. The storyline goes like this: Terrible and sneaky monsters keep turning up to mame and kill you, but don't worry, Moomin daddy got a shotgun and ain't afraid to use it! My childhood in a nutshell.

About the questions in "Haluatko miljonääriksi"-show; The first question is known as a KZbin-question, as it is supposed to be so obvious that one can't get it wrong. And if you do get it wrong, you can be 99.99% sure your failure will be on YT for everyone to see. Also, as a side-effect, the wrong answers are humorous and relieve tension.

@@davecad even a light dusting of snow over grass glides surprisingly well😂 But for sanded snowy/icy walkways a potkukelkka with its metal skids is far superior to skiis. There are some pretty sporty looking potkukelkkoja if the traditional grandma style doesn't appeal.

Re: WoW map (which I found cool btw:) Tell me you're from Southern Finland without telling me you're from Southern Finland: you put the village of Ruka on the Finnish map as a major location instead of Kuusamo, the town 25 kilometers away. (This is because there is a ski resort at Ruka, so Southern Finns are more likely to be aware of it than the town.)

I'm a Finn and I find Dave's videos and some other similar videos interesting, there are many things that are so everyday for us Finns and yet to someone else from somewhere else it's something nearly completely alien. I wonder.... because I'm interested about United Kingdom or England as it's known here. Dave, what do you think of Finnish kebab? It is even remotely similar to something you can have in another country like UK? (I think you're from UK, right?) What about Finnish ice cream? I love ice cream, is Finnish ice cream good, bad or something in between when compared to what you're accustomed to? Fish and chips, I want to try fish and chips so bad, I'm a junk food fanatic and the closest thing I've had was from Hesburger, a place you know. It was for limited time only though. Tea is a big thing in Britain right? Is our tea somewhere near it or something different? Do you like 'Men Behaving Badly', amazing series, the UK version of course. =)
