Reaction To Svenska nyheter - Sinophobia is not ok (Swedish Satire)

[@avernion]

China did not appreciate that episode 😅 They even wrote a government funded rap song about how Sweden sucks 😂

[@livedandletdie]

Good times, I catched this on TV. Almost shat myself laughing... Indian Food and comedy doesn't mix well apparently.

[@debrickashaw9387]

That is actually a very funny way to tackle criticism. Atleast it is better than what many arab nations do when someone in another country does something they do not appreciate (death threats and bounties) China is still a dicatorship though and not a very nice place for the common chinese person to live in

By Pissy.... I'm not even kidding... That's what he's called.

I honestly think you would enjoy all the episodes of "Svenska nyheter", it is an entire show of political satire. It is nice because you laugh and you learn things too. They often start in one angle and then after a bit you learn that situations are complex and you get some more info. It is quite nice. They almost made Sweden unable to join Nato due to picking on Turkey. :-)

[@spacetree975]

Yes and there are multiple seasons too.

[@Theodor1354]

Definitely agree, the entire show is amazing. I don’t think everything has English subtitles, though?

[@RaXXha]

It's pretty much a swedish version of "Last week tonight" or "The Daily show".

[@titanuranus3095]

I wouldn't call reporting on a dictatorship "picking on" them. Certainly not while they are conducting an ethnic clensing of the part of northern Syria they invaded.

The show is pretty much Last Week Tonight but Swedish. This particular episode wasn't the last to cause international political incidents

[@boek2777]

The difference from 'last week tonight' is that Svenska nyheter doesn't lie. Several American shows, like Last week tonight has been sued for their already disproved "news". They have however never been sentenced because they openly say that the program is humourous and not factual. Svenska nyheter is a humourous news show while last week tonight is humourous propaganda!

[@hepaticanobilis9700]

It is actually true that Chinese tourists peed and pooped in streets and squares, behind shops and in private staircases and gardens. There were bus trips that stopped at various small communities on the west coast of Sweden. It became such a big and disgusting problem that they had to fix the whole thing. A Chinese shame!

[@boek2777]

You are 100% right. Before China and Russia became best buddies, there was actually several Chinese tourists that was jailed for taking a dump inside museums and food stores. If you know where to search, videos is available!

[@znail4675]

@@boek2777 But the question is why and did they think they could do that without repercussions? Can you do that in China?

[@hepaticanobilis9700]

@@znail4675 In China they have strict laws and highly efficient police, so I guess they think it's ok abroad as long as they don't get caught with the crime. The fact is that people on vacation do NOT behave the same way as at home. Many behave more carelessly and rudely towards others. "Nobody knows me, so I do what I want."

[@karna6982]

Great reaction, hope you can find more videos with subtitles. Svenska nyheter is now on the 12 season with the third host. All of them good in different ways.

[@CarlCalle]

True, but i will say I enjoyed Jesper Rönndahl the most

[@Steffe]

The one you asked about first was Povel Ramel. You have reacted to his biggest fan, Henrik Dorsin a few times.

[@bjornerikroth]

Povel Ramel was a musical and comedy genius that could have been internationally famous in the 50's and 60's like, say, Victor Borge if he'd been working in English. He tried a few times but it didn't come off.

[@CarlCalle]

I am really looking forward to part two. It is smarter and better in my opinion!

[@thistle3]

I used to like Svenska Nyheter back when Jesper Rönndal was hosting (like in this clip). His team successfully toed the line between informative and impertinent. My favorite was the "Skol-ko" episode. Then when Kristoffer Appelkvist took over, it seemed like the writing room had been taken over by 14 year old edgelords with zero desire to fact-check, so I stopped keeping up. The newest host, Messiah Lastname (or whatever it was) is just unbearably smug from the clips I've seen, so I've never watched a full episode of his show.

[@jonte19951]

Jesper is back now👍

[@Draktand01]

Svenska Nyheter translates to ”Swedish News”. You know, as opposed to the non-Swedish news everyone else is broadcasting, lol.

[@currentoflinden]

Your analysis of the show is very spot on!

[@anderslinden4701]

I cant wait for the second part! Didnt watch this part when it aired so next week I was so confused :P But you have to watch "Svenska nyheter - Hela klippet om postnord" , its about the swedish and danish post service who is (as you will see) kind of bad at its job somtimes

[@architechproducer]

Nile City is the MAJOR hit series by Killinggänget (Robert Gustafsson, Johan Rehborg, Henrik Schyffert, Jonas Inde, etc). Except their first show "i manegen med Glenn Killing", it's pretty much the introduction of the Swedish era of ironic humor in the 90's. The follow up to the series was later "Percy tårar".

[@architechproducer]

As a comment to the racist pears clip.

It's both great and sad when comedians like Jesper here become the voice of the people instead of the politicians we actually voted into office to communicate our will. Was a big fan of these episodes when they aired.

[@Blixthand]

I used to watch this back when it was new. This one has a few years to it by now. The program is still going, but they are on their third host now I think, and I stopped watching when this guy, Jesper Rönndahl, who was the first host, stepped down. Only watched a couple of episodes with the second host and none of the third host. I'm sure they do a fine job, but Jesper was the OG and also it's on so late in the evening on Fridays, and I've never been one for watching reruns or VOD's on the Play service.

[@Spiffer]

It didn't just slow the rotation, it changed it a bit.

[@him_That_is_me]

More recent seasons have taken to completely ruthlessly kick swedish politics in the ribs for all the absurd mismanagement thats going on. It's fantastic, it is a wonderful way to actually bring attention to real problems to the masses.

[@semipalatinsk1]

In a follow-up segment - following massive Chinese backlash as a result of this clip - Jesper apologized to the Chinese people, but made a point of underscoring that his apology did not extend to the Chinese regime.

[@elmstreetbök]

11:50 also it isnt racist because the entire thing started when a couple of chinese tourists did actually all those things that she mentions. But because the chinese government reacted the way they did, Sweden started to poke fun at them because they are being ridiculous

[@gustafhillertz9374]

it even funnier that this was made and air on SVT wich is the swedish goverments TV channel

[@hinehole1333]

Thought the whole point of the last clip was to point out that if China is saying Sweden is racist then their also implying that all that crazy stuff is the norm for a Chinese tourist

You have to watch the second part, the episode after, with all the replys from china, thats the funniest part !!!!!

[@victorvaltersson3325]

Basically the reason he said "Kristina Lugn this is the slowest way to die" is cause she had reporters trying ask critical questions to her and she tried to get them off her by saying "You have to get away from here. I'm smoking, you're gonna die"

[@kjelledbom1728]

I think the scary part about comedy about racism is that racism actually exist. There ARE people who get the crap kicked out of them, based on their skin colour... but most people getting their ass handed to them, not only in Sweden but in general, are being assholes all the way to someone who doesn't take any crap and hands them their ass. This person in turn is often also an asshole. And sometimes that asshole hands you your ass just for being there, peacefully. I guess you just gotta be lucky with what people you meet, and hopefully you have common sense, else you become part of some tragic statistic. Anyway, people are generally kinda similar the world over. The very most are peaceful, living in harmony with the other harmonic people. Then there are piss pants, some of which goes into politics and piss all over relationships between harmonic people divided by country lines they didn't sign off on, by stirring up irritation among the few assholes on both sides of the country line.
