Reaction To Kvarteret Skatan - Whisky (Swedish Comedy)
This is my reaction to Kvarteret Skatan - Whisky
In this video I react to Swedish comedy from Swedish television comedy sketch show Kvarteret Skatan (which features Swedish comedian Johan Glans) and their comedy sketch about whisky and Scotland.

Scots are very loved in the Nordics. There was even a survey going around many years ago where people wanted to vote Scotland to be part of the Nordics instead of GB. It wasn't an official one though, but people from all over the Nordics voted and the 'Yes' side won with a landslide 😂. You're honorary Nords in Nordic people's hearts.

[@robertmosen6126]

I was just thinking that i’ve never heard anyone say something bad about Scotland i Sweden.

[@ohrusty]

I actually read about that as well, haha! All I could do was to nod and agree. Feels like we're both on the same page.

[@vansting]

We wanted the Scottish whiskey!

[@Kraakesolv]

Norwegian here, had a road trip along the west coast of Scotland many years ago - it was amazing, people took us in and treated us with heartfelt hospitality. Often they'd light up and smile from ear to ear when they heard where we were from, offering a glass of whiskey even. So it definitely goes both ways!

I think Scotland is looked at very fondly in the Nordics, I think the Scottish mentality is very relatable to a lot of Nordic people. Also I believe that a great many of us just adore the Scotish accent which just sounds lovely.

[@mogges]

It reminds me of the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch with Monty Phyton.

[@acajutla]

Kind of inverted version

[@karl-unoisaksson4000]

Your conclusion was spot on, this was NOT about ridicule (correct word? Förlöjliga, menade jag) Scotland and the Scottish... It's all about ridiculeing (?) the Swedish posers that appeared in EVERY band of friends in the late 90's, early naughts... Someone ALWAYS ticked us of by "shining" with Whiskey knowledge - cause since he (it was always a "he") once had a trip to Britain, it makes him an expert on Scottish Whiskey!!! Soooooo... When we sit on the porch, drinking Johnnie Walker - he explains how barbaric we are, drinking anything less than a 123 year old Lagavullin, aged in the womb of a Dutch slavewoman... Hmmmm, got carried away - like your reactions and thanx for sharing 🙏✌️ Love from Sweden 💖

Sweden is a big whisky importer, and this is making fun of the trend of enjoying smoky whiskys in Sweden. Islay is a popular style.

[@wagner594]

These guys are great comedians and are very much appreciated here in Sweden. Thanks for sharing your reaction. Fun stuff :)

Haha one of my absolute favourite scenes from Kvarteret Skatan. The joke about the trend how Swedish men talk about whisky is really spot on. 🤣

Rembember watching this for the very first time when it aired about 20 years ago and I laughed so hard! I love Kvarteret Skatan and it's amongst the best humour-shows I've ever seen (together with Grotesco, Little Britain and The Office UK). Love your reactions to Swedish comedy! 😄

Been to Scotland a lot of times. Whent to a friends wedding on the isle of Gigha. If I wrote a book about that wedding no one would believe me. And yes there was som involvement of whisky…a lot now when I think about it. Love Scotland and love the Scottish people. And I’m still amazed how many Nordic words you still use.

[@mikaeltillenius8751]

GB still use about 2000 Nordic words and the most famous is Window from Vindöga (Wind eye) plus gate (gata), knife (kniv), skin (skinn, leg (lägg), loose (lös), odd (udda), wrong (vrång), die (dö), cast (kast), take (ta), egg (ägg), ill (illa), call (kalla)... and are with modern Swedish translations! 😉

I'm a Sweden, and I drink only single malt whisky. Favourite one is the 15 year old "Highland Park".

[@MadDogMcGree]

We love Scotland and smoky whiskys are so popular in Sweden that the "For Peat´s sake"-whisky were develolped espacially for the swedish market. There´s also some Swedish Whisky like MackMyra. Even met a bartender wearing a kilt in a biker bar in the mining town of Kiruna.

Swdden imports a lot of whisky, and we also produce our own. Personally I haven't been drinking it for a while, but my favorite happens to be Lauder's, and it's Scottish 😂

[@burkmat]

I like both Scottish whisky and beer. Especially Innis & Gunn. Gothenburg (where I live) is on the West coast and had had contact with Scotland since long time and now there's a saying "Everyone's named Glenn in Gothenburg", a name from Scotland.

[@matereo]

Greetings from out on a Swedish isle in the Baltic sea m8! I just want to say that i love Glasgow rangers! There were many Scots, protestant Scots, presbyterians etc who came and joined the Swedish army and fought in the 30 year war. That and the sea connections with our west coast is why the name Magnus is only common there and very common here... and Glenn

[@danfors1333]

I as a Swede like the Scottish for how nicely they treated Henrik Larsson when playing in Celtic, also love the Colin McRae rally-games on Playstation, Limmy, Braveheart, and the Highlander movies. Whiskey and bagpipes... not so much.

[@robertandersson3417]

alot of us Swedes enjoy whisky, but the most popular is beer followed by wine, is my guess.

[@nanker72]

As a swede I can state that swedes love Scotland. I think the vikings influenced the Scottish dialect a lot, the emphasised rolling Rs and the “ch” sounds. The modern English language is highly influenced by old nordic. Skirt, sky, egg, window, they, their, them, same, get, take, skin and more. The modern English diphthongs also seem less frequent in Scotland. This makes the old norse influence more evident.

[@samkerr6029]

Not met a single swede who's had anything negative to say about Scotland. My mother is from Glasgow but moved to Sweden in the 60's and whenever people found out they'd almost gasp with excitment (you'd do well with the ladies should you move here). As for jokes they've always had a good laugh about the dialect, the kilts and made a few jokes because skott means shot or to shovle snow or leap as in leap year. An example would be "Varför är skottar så unga? För att dom firas bara under skottår" which would translate to "Why are Scots so young? Because they only get celebrated during leap year". The joke gets lost in translation though.

We have a fairly similar ch sound in Sweden, that is why it is not a big leap to say loch. Many of us, myself included, like whisky. Someone once told me that having a favorite whisky was typical for "rookies". That dude would probably feel right at home with the dudes in this Kvarteret Skatan group.

[@maryamniord2214]

There are a lot of sinililarities between scottish and swedish (nordic). Child in swedish is "barn" for onöy one example. And the "r". I do understand scottish better from other english dialects.

[@maryamniord2214]

Only not onöy

[@MsAnpassad]

As for the pronounciation, Scots have an average of 15% nordic DNA (up to in the 70's in some islands), so it's not farfetched to say that the Scotish dialect have been influenced by the Norse languages (barn means children etc). Sweden is where the origin of haggis is from after all (I know, a shocker, we call it pölsa). Edit: Just for the fun of it, you should test how Scandinavian your DNA are. And also test how nordic you are as a person/view etc. Then eat surströmming. ;)

[@UrbanGarden-rf5op]

I think this one is heavily indebted to Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen. Still a funny piece. And comedy, like music, isn't created in a vacuum. We Swedes love Great Britain. Gothenburg has the nick name Little London. In part because of the shipping connection and in part because of the damp and windy weather.🥶 ......................................................................................... Breaking News!!! Thinking about this a bit more, I'm quite sure this piece was a nudge (nudge) to the Pythons. So, a joke about a joke. That's a meta joke! I'm trying my best not to make a joke about that, thus making it a meta meta joke and risking the disruption of the joke-time continuum. Oops, I did it again. Sorry😉

[@roxyhart5692]

[@ohrusty]

First time seing this sketch, but it is an obvious new version of the monthy pyton one, no? Only a swedish version, hehe. And is the "ch" in Loch (I thought it was supposed to be pronounced more "chK", with a more harsh K in the end) really that well pronounced? Only a scottish person (yoouuu, Mert!) can answer all of these questions!

[@nex7conny]

We up north love Scotland. So we even sailed down there and stole their wifes and other stuff.

I would say that whiskey is very popular in Sweden becauese it has this cultural caché that means you can drink it without being an alcoholic.

[@AakeTraak]

Not 'under the sea', but 'under the sea bottom'.

[@Brakvash]

It's not hard to say the "sch" sound in Loch as we already have it in Swedish - we just need to hear how it's pronounced first or we'll go "tch" instead as that is the standard swedish pronounciation for "ch" :D

[@Vinterfrid]

But the thing is that there is no "sch" sound in "loch" - it's not pronounced "losch" as everyone knows. Furthermore, "tch" is not the standard Swedish pronounciation for "ch". There are in fact few Swedish words starting with "ch" - and those are not pronounced the same way.

[@tompettersson3814]

When you listen to how people from the swedish island of Gotland speak you can here similaritys to scottish.

[@hollowmade]

Gotländska sounds nothing like Scottish. If anything, it’s closer to irish with the pronounciation of the letter ”R”. However, there are lots of similarities between gotländska and local dialects in the southern parts of Finland. Sibbo, for example.

But it's pronounced as "ock", but spelled the same way, "och".

[@KungKokkos]

Not the same sound, the H isnt silent in Loch but it is in Och.

[@KungKokkos]

@@Lingiskhan If that was the case then why would English people have any problem pronouncing loch correctly, if the "och" sound is the same as "och" in Swedish, then it's also the same as "lock" in English. You can hear the "h" in loch, you can't hear the "h" in "och". Och sounds like "ock", Loch does not sound like "lock"..

[@Lingiskhan]

@@KungKokkos ...which was my point. Glad you got it 🤣

[@loris-bismar]

The point still stands though, even if our 'och' is pronounced differently, it's not hard to pronounce 'loch' for Swedish people. We have a lot of 'sch' sounds.

[@Ottointtl]

swedish and comedy is an oxymoron.

[@Kimpan96]

The swedish word for "and" is just loch without the l and pronounce the same so we should not have a problem with loch
