Reaction To Johan Glans på Island (Stand-Up in English)

Reaction To Johan Glans på Island (English Stand-Up in English)
This is my reaction to Johan Glans på Island (English Stand-Up)
In this video I react to Swedish comedian Johan Glans performing stand up comedy in Iceland with a lot of interesting observations about Iceland and other Scandinavian countries in his stand up set called World Tour of Scandinavia
Original Video - • Johan Glans på Island ...

[@ssirfbrorsan]

Johan Glans is a genius. Mostly because he doesn't offend, but explains himself. Makes us recognize ourselves. He can, sublimely, make us embarrassed, yet not feel struck. He knows our sweat-spots and always not angry.

Every consonant that the Danes refuse to use, the Finns take over and use in tenfold.

🤣🤣🤣

[@michaelmay5453]

Them and the Dutch which isn't really a language, it's just German with twice the vowels and consonants. Finnish isn't really a language, it's more of a noise.

I had to look it up: "grädde" - is cream in Swedish. And his joke is that you add the suffix -ur to Swedish words to make the Icelandic equivalent. But "gräddur" means greedy So he has done some research 🙂

[@Palle_Plopp]

I think the joke is that "gräddur" sounds like "graður" which means 'horny' in Icelandic.

[@johnnyrosenberg9522]

@@Palle_PloppI don't speak or even read Icelandic, but according to Google Translate, there seems to be three almost similar words meaning totally different things, but spelled slightly differently: grædur - makes money græddur - grafted gráður - degrees Also google translate: horny - horaður I'm sure Icelandic people are better at their own language than Google Translate, and I have seen some crazy translations to and from Swedish (my language) by Google Translate over the years, but now I'm confused. 🤔🤪

[@fandersstrom]

​@@johnnyrosenberg9522æ is pronounced "ai" and á is pronounced "au", so those words don't sound like "graður", which indeed means horny (kåt).

[@johnnyrosenberg9522]

@@fandersstrom I see, so quite different to Swedish, where æ looks like ä and sounds approximately like the ai in air and á is just a long a, as in bar (or would be if we ever used it; we do use the é though, in some words inherited from French, like idé - idea).

[@freyjasvansdottir9904]

@@johnnyrosenberg9522Google translate is extremely bad at Icelandic, most of those words are translated wrong

Tungur knivur means heavy knife. Tung kniv in swedish. Its from a 80s viking movie called The ravens flight.(korpen flyger)

[@Dodgravaren73]

Känner mig som 12 igen när jag såg den.

[@Covenantt666]

The smell he's referring to is the sulphur smell from all the hot springs.

[@jonasthemovie]

The acupuncture joke is really good.

[@atvheads]

Johan Glans is excellent, funny without bad language.

[@rositawangdahl457]

How can one not love Johan Glans ❤❤❤

[@liahk1000]

What he says in Icelandic a few times that ends with "fyndur". He explains it in the beginning- that he read in an Icelandic newspaper that "Swedes are also funny". So when you asked what he said at one point, he had just made a joke that didn't land well and added "I am funny!" in Icelandic , referencing the newspaper.

[@robinlindberg7631]

This is a thing in scandinavia, we're 5 countrys and we make fun of eachother all the time like siblings, and the love is the same. If Island faces Sweden in a spots event we HATE eachother, but after the results we go back to being best bros. I kinda love that :D

[@philippabellalove1280]

Glans is brilliant. His feelgood comedy is one of a kind

[@hronnsa]

As an icelander living in Denmark this was fun 😂

[@hanskarlsson3778]

Thank you for this! I am a Swede living in Japan since 1989, and seeing other people opening up to other cultures brings true joy to my heart. Beautiful! AND, you seem to be a nice guy too! :{

[@carlrytterfalk4684]

Johan is soooo awesome! As a Swede I follow you to see great Swedish comedy. 😂 Strange world we live in. Thanks.

[@mirandasvensson4350]

You HAVE to watch Grotesco’s ”Ett kilo mjöl!” I don’t know if it’s translated, but it’s an underrated true classic, and one of their best according to me✨✨

[@Damalatorian]

I've seen Johan alot but never seen him doing anything in English and I were really surpriced. He did it really good! And then the next thought is how close we nordic countries really are.. He basically walks up and say "Hello Island... you talk wierd" and they are "Yes we know" and then he roasts Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden as well... it's just perfect. And yes... all islandic I know is just to add "gur" after anything. He hittgur the spotgur.

[@gambanteinodal1246]

Johan Glans is very intelligent and on top of that his superb theatrical delivery comes natural - genios!

[@RaXXha]

The smell he's talking about is probably the smell of sulfur from the volcanic activity around the island. :D

[@majkenvanja]

gräddur sounds more like the word for horny in Icelandic - graður. And the Swedish word for horny is kåt but in Icelandic it means happy - kátur. I was a little bit offended the first time my employer asked me if I was happy....

[@johnnyrosenberg9522]

Not very long ago, maybe a hundred years ago or so, kåt meant happy in Swedish too.

[@Jonsson474]

@@johnnyrosenberg9522That gives the saying “is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me” a whole new meaning.

One of the best things with Johan is that he's like the GB comedians, quick on his feet and never out of an answer...

😂 He is soo funny! Everytime I feel low, I put on something with Johan Glans and laughing til I cry😄

[@torbjornkallstrom2316]

If you want more Johan Glans in english he did a TV show together with Peter Stormare called "Swedish Dicks". (Keanu Reeves also has a prominent role in it.) Not written by Johan himself but still funny.

[@karna6982]

And Traci Lords as the villain

[@AnnikaDacke]

Johan Glans is the very best Sweden has. He is even better unscripted, and you can see in this, when he clearly goes off script he is so funny! He is very loved in Sweden and has a good reputation as a person too.

[@chalphon4907]

Johan Glans was in a comedy scetch show called "Kvarteret Skatan", see if you can find anything of that with Eng. subs.

[@Gurumediatationgamer]

Tungur knivur is like "heavy knife"

[@piratsnygg]

The video "Swedish comedian Johan Glans with English subtitles" by overalloverkill should be next!

[@birgittae9046]

It smells sulphur in the air on Iceland 😊 interesting but not so nice according to me. But I love Iceland, fantastic landscape!

[@Daedalus-ed5nd]

It's true. I'm Swedish. I understand most dialects/accents of Norwegian, but Danish... That's VERY difficult. Except written - that's basically Norwegian to me. To be fair - I live pretty close to the Norwegian border and my dialect is closer to Norwegian than for example the made up gay TV-"dialect" "Stockholmish".

[@sophiaswanberg4742]

I love your personality❣️

[@user-cq8ik4ub5g]

Hi nice to see you again thanks for all the fun video clips

[@peronkop]

Johan Glans accent is so heavy in all of the languages he speaks here, even his own.

[@karl-unoisaksson4000]

I'm sorry, the first criticism from me - I couldnt hear what Johan Glans said, but since I missed it I'll try to find some link with sound... Love your work, keep reacting to us Swedes... . Now I saw the show, I would have liked reacted with you, but it was good fun... Love from Sweden 💖

[@o.w.i.m]

13:00 - Tour, as in world tour. Also is joke about adding -ur to all words when talking Swedish to people on Island so he ensured himself of being understood. ;) J. Glans usually brings jokes along throughout his performance integrating them, merging spindling and so on in funny ways.

[@DL-12_]

4:25 I believe it is: “Swedish people is also funny” but I’m Swedish so I’m not sure

[@mariannehaglund6745]

The headline in the newspaper: "Actually, swedes are/can be funny!" I guess it's about neighboring countries that heckle each other. Swedes can be considered stiff and too proper compared to Danes, Finns, etc

[@HannaMLK]

He has done a world tour too, which he started in Ireland. Maybe there are something filmed from that tour too

[@menosproblemos6993]

"Svear äru visst fyndig folk" title in the newspaper 3:53 I don't know Iclandic, but I think that'd mean "Swedes are actually a funny people" There some similarities between Swedish and Icelandic. I think it'd be way easier to understand once you get used to the dialect. I don't speak Dutch either, but I understand it better (to me it sounds like a mixture of Swedish, English and German (and I don't know German). Though I just checked up dialects of Dutch and I didn't understand skit.

If "visst" has the same meaning in icelandic as in Norwegian and Swedish it means "apparently" or "surely". Not sure about which one in this case.

[@mercurious5053]

@@AudunWangen don't know if it's the same, but in swedish it's like someone just stated we're not funny, and you're contradicting that. Stomping your foot verbally

[@AudunWangen]

@@mercurious5053 Yes. That's a good point. It's often used sarcastically, as the opposite of "surely/for certain". That is kind of why I wondered, because it's a little confusing. What did they actually mean when they wrote that? 😅

Speaking of heavy knives, I think many Swedes considered themselves experts in Danish. And someone asks… really? which university did you study danish at? Fuck that. I've seen Pusher like 100 times. 1. We knew Danish. 2. We understood exactly how typical Danes lived. OK. Maybe not experts in Danish. But the most important thing. What the hell are you doing with a Gun? Whose money is that? What the hell if it's the Hells Angels??! Good to go.

[@peterwennstrom1254]

You need to search for 'Hipp Hipp ' and 'Karatefylla'.

I think Johan Glans is the only stand-up comedian in Sweden that is almost always funny. Therare some others that can be funny ocationally, like Magnus Betnér. But Johan Glans is quality.

Im swed so i understand everything..kniv means knife ..knivur in icelandic and grädde is cream..the head line in the paper whas swedish people are funny to..whih a icelandic twitsh fyndig type make some funny up. When icelandic people speak god inglish they sound like north irish people with there R`s like pirat vikings and yes they are mixed several hundreds years ago,,, they have swedish words with ur ending an danish words with ur ending an norwegan words with an ur ending and old brittish words you dont understand anymore. Finland use endings to even if the did not kreated the word.. 50 procent of finnland knows swedish but only 30 procent can speak it overall.they have villiges that only speaks swedish yet today after swedish invasion of the baltic countries some hundred years ago. And yes Estonia and finnland where submerged in land before the russian cut them in half to acces the baltic sea.and they still have a spot betwen Estonia and lituania..the same thing there doing and done to ukrainians and asian ilands..

[@swedishmetalbear]

Icelandic is close enough to Swedish and sometimes 100% intelligible to us.. And at the same time it sometimes is 100% unintelligible. If I listen to spoken Icelandic. It is like someone is tuning in a radio. Jibberish jibberish..suddenly a sentence that sounds exactly the same as swedish and makes perfect sense, jibberish. Yes daddy harder please...jibberish jibberish.. did you take the haddock out for it's afternoon walk?

Well, these clips are all really old. When he first did World Tour Of Skåne, it was fresh and hilarious. Now we've gotten used to his humour, and people have copied him, as well.
