I just love this sketch I laugh every time.

It really does sound Danish!

I need to get me one of those syggelekokles :rotfl:

So what do you guys find funny?

Just to chip in, the two words they use are "Syglekule" and "Kamelåså", which they derived from "Sykkel kule" and well, the fact that if you take a camels hump and "lock" it, it becomes a circle, or wheel in this case.

Ah, cool. I just thought that was total gobbledegook!

Anything by Dagfinn Lyngbø is gold.
This one's about Chinese restaurants:

He has the Bergen dialect, however, so I'm not sure how well you foreign guys would understand him. I can probably make an English transcript, though?

Raske Menn are also great; here's a skit about Norwegian geography:

They got the Alta dialect wrong, sadly.
Hmmm. Okay so, in Northern Norway (Trøndelag [?], Nordland, Troms and Finnmark, but especially the latter), we've got a lot of Sámi people and therefore reindeer. It's a common stereotype here in the south that a town in Finnmark would have a population of 5 people and eight billion reindeer. Also, all they eat is reindeer, apparently.
(I've actually got family up north, in Alta, and yes, there are so many reindeer there. So many. Oh my god. Want to drive from Alta to Kautokeino? I'm sorry, but there are three reindeer herds on the road. Gotta wait for the Sámi to come get 'em.)
