1:06 the king of Sweden (Karl XVI Gustaf) is sitting in the audience

[@kentbjorklund6994]

I love this act. If you look at the smiling man 1 min 10 sec in the video it´s the King of Sweden. He´s got a good sence of humour and knows fur sure that Robert Gustavsson is a really funny caracter. I also saw the Finnish president, Swedish prime minister and many other really prominent persons. It´s also funny that it seems that many in the audience doesn´t realise that this is a joke.

[@Jim_86]

1:08. The man on the right is the Swedish king Carl XVI Gustaf. 1:44. The man on the left with a red tie is Göran Persson. He was the swedish prime minister from 1996 to 2006.

[@FredrikLundbladh1979]

This was a big economic forum with the focus of the nordic countries. Many diplomats and politicians from Europe and the US was in the audience.

[@timosavolainen9865]

Carl XVI Gustaf King of Sweden, Paavo Lipponen old prime minister of Finland, Martti Ahtisaari old Finnish president and so on. He is performing basically to everybody who is important in the nordic region… Funny part is that during that time Nokia and Ericsson were battling, which one is the no 1 mobilephone manufacturer in the world… Funny guy :)

[@Nekotaku_TV]

He's been regarded as the funniest comedian in Sweden for many years. I love him. It's sad how much comedy around the world can't be enjoyed because of the language barrier. And here he's doing some word play with Swedish words that sound like English words with a different meaning. 1:08 Sweden's king right there. Robert is like the modern day jester to the king. The one famous one in Swedish he did for the king is the best of this type.

@@RichardVemvillveta Jag håller inte med, och någonstans där kanske debatten slutar. Alla de rolltolkningarna han gjort, Torsk på Tallinn-rollerna, teaterrollerna, Christer i Fyra nyanser av brunt, som Allan i Hundraåringen och Peter i Det som göms i snö med mera, allt det är i toppklass enligt mig. Självklart är ju humor subjektivt och därför blir ofta diskussionen svår. Ofta får jag känslan av att anledningen till att man anser att allt någon gjort, hur mycket det än är, är dåligt är att man sett för mycket av personen och att man pga detta menar att allting är urtråkigt. Jag har svårt att se att man tycker allt Robert gjort är dåligt med tanke på allt det han har gjort som är så otroligt brett.

[@johankaewberg8162]

One of his best acts ever was speaking at the Kings 60:th birthday (?) He performed a speech in Gibberish to Hans Majonnäs Honungen (his mayonnaise the honey, each word just slightly one phoneme away from His Majesty the King) XIV seemed to love it. Best king yet ❤

Him & Johan Glans are our best comedians but Robert is the OG and most definatly the most skilled comedian & actor we have had if you dont count the Skarsgård & Hollywood Schooled actors! Really tho i actually dont think that any man could do the things Robert do with a straight face! The proffesionalism he has with all of his charachters and personalities is astonishing!!

[@wevve85]

[@2un7zu]

Robert Gustafsson is our national treasure.

[@parmattsson7784]

The first part is before the "Nordic council of ministers". In Swedish, the council is called "rådet" which in some other context could be translated as "the advice". The Swedish king is seen at about 1:08 into your clip.

[@Noobs343]

The most genial part of this clip is that he use some Swedish words, and he put the sentences together like we do in Sweden or put two Swedish words together in directly translation, and still the audience who don't speak Swedish understand the funny parts and what he means with everything. He make himself and Swedes look stupid but still he got the attention from everybody, that's really hard and really good to do that.

[@libertyjustice1620]

I read this in the voice of Robert Gustafsson.

[@errik0o]

the play with "swenglish" and direct translation is brilliant

[@marianneklarberg]

❤😂😂😂😂 Robert Gustavsson is simply the best, he is outstanding

[@ProgMannen]

He is the best comedian in sweden. Probably ever. Also does great imitations and superb on different swedish dialects... Hope someone can find more subtitled sketches with him.. because there are hundreds hilarious ones..

[@Kecken123]

The "sneeze" is a trope of Gustavsson's characters, slapstick.

[@oscarh112]

A lot of the comedy here is language related as the character is not very good at english, and often mixes swedish/english words with diffrerent meanings. If you know swedish you can pick up on what he wants to say in english, but he often ends up totally buchering it. Might be hard to pick up on if you do not know swedish.

[@M13337]

I was just going to write the same thing. A lot of the punchlines here really requires knowledge in both languages. Otherwise I believe the script and jokes might just come across as a bit ”strange”. Oh well. Have a nice day! :)

[@oskjan1]

1:06 this is our KING, so yes, pretty important people! 😁 You should watch clips of YRROL, a swedish classic. A comedy with a collection of some of the best comedians we ever had in Sweden, in my opinion.

[@1989Goodspeed]

Look up Robert Gustafsson when he does Bertil Svensson (the garden show host). The backstory is based on a real person who had a gardening segment in a Sunday TV show on SVT. And in a live segment he managed to cut himself in the thumb. So he was bleeding on live tv. But ever the professional he kept on a good appearance before someone could come to his aid. Robert hasn done a parody character on Bertil that always ends in severe injury or other shenanigans in the most insane ways imaginable.. My gavorit: "Robert Gustafsson - fråga bertil - Grillning".

[@Jim_86]

Robert Gustavsson is epic! The best swedish comedian ever! :D

[@larteonceagain]

He is in Helsingfors 2002 it's 8n front of the Nordic Council and the swedish king ( the one that looks very happy, he loves Robert Gustafsson ) premier minister and some CEOs are there. When he is at Royal Albert Hall 2001, it's a big production with music foremost called Rhapsody In Rock. They tour almost or every year and they always have a comedian in the show. And a famous artist. As a huge Deep Purple fan I can mention that one year was the Hammond keyboardist Jon Lord there and another the bassist Glenn Hughes from DP Mark III.

[@EDuGoIHuvvet]

Robert is definitely one of the absolute best and biggest comedians in Swedish history, especially when it comes to slapstick humor and use of different dialects. Some of these jokes might've gone over people's heads, because he's speaking what we call "swenglish", which is the combination of Swedish and English that happens when someone isn't good at English. I highly recommend you watch Robert explaining the dialects of Sweden, because that's really brilliant and you'll get a view over how much the language can change depending on where you live. Also his skits from the show Nile City is awesome, especially Greger the fire captain. But over all, the best stuff from him is most of the things he did in the 90's and early 2000's.

[@gambanteinodal1246]

Gustafsson was hired to perform this comedy act at the Nordic Council. "fack" means to fire or to sack people...

[@Herja-Hefna]

He creates his characters,He also makes other characters like real celebrities and pokes fun at them. in this one he plays a character who is an amassador from Sweden

[@robbja]

Sill is pickled herring! The fish in the "Surströmming"! Surströmming is fermented fish - that smells like something in between something rotten and a portapotti on a warm day! THE smell of the fermented fish is truly VILE! HOWEVER the Swedish Pickled herring IS VERY popular! So popular that it is eaten both at: - Christmas, Midsummer's eve and Easter! There are quite a few different kinds of pickled herring - I myself only like the Curry or Mustard varieties! Most people prefer the onion pickled herring.

[@DNA912]

A great movie with him is "The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared" original language is Swedish, but I'm pretty sure it exist as dubbed as well. It's a similar vibe as Forrest Gump. it's a whole movie so I don't think you'll react to it here, but it is a good film I recommend.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

The Swedish royalty is in the audience.

[@parmattsson7784]

It is full of Swedish words that does not work well when used directly in English. A few examples are "chef" (boss or manager), "prick" (dot, when referring to Swedish character Ö/ö), "fock" (make unemployed), "blåsningen" (scam, but literally meaning "the blow"), "dessa härliga bollar" (these wonderfull balls, but "härliga" sounds like "hairy"), "the deep throat" (refers to "vrångstrupen" which means "the wrong throat", which can make you choke). The clip would need quite a few of these explanations to make sense for a non-Swede. At the end, by the flag, his is singing a very direct and poor translation of the Swedish national anthem.

[@swedishmetalbear]

It always amuses me when Swedes try to get foreigners to taste "inlagd sill" (fermented herring) and proudly presents it like some sort of delicacy. I guess Robert finds it equally amusing. 😂

[@Macovic]

It a hugh amount of ”swenglish”, a langauge hybrid joke. Pricks translated would mean dots, obviously something else in english…basically language is 80 percent here. And the king is watching.

[@antiHUMANDesigns]

He is legendary, the funniest man in Sweden. I think most of th ejokes do not work unless you know Swedish. The point is that he translates Swedish into English is a very word-by-word literal way, sometimes merely because the words sound similar. If you're really bad at English, this are the kind of silly mistakes you might make. All of that is lost on someone who doens't know Swedish.

"Surströmming" is also herring but requires a bit of bravery to try (bravery I, as a Swede, have never been able to muster), because it is frequently ranked as the most foul smelling food on earth (incidentally it is forbidden to bring on aeroplanes, even in the tin).
