  • TBS' "People of Earth" centers on skeptical journalist Ozzie Graham (Wyatt Cenac), who investigates a support group to write about the member’s supposed alien encounters. The more he digs into their oddball claims, the more he realizes a semblance of truth to their stories and possibly even signs that point to his own alien abduction. The onetime outsider now finds himself a part of this eclectic group of misfits, all the while struggling with the idea of knowing that life could exist beyond our world. Join Gustafsson when he visits to discuss his role as Don the White. Interview at AOL HQ in NYC for BUILD Series.

    Most underrated sitcom ever.

    I love how he managed to turn a promotion of a TV show he is on into his own stand up show

    At 14:34 something happened and the comedian side of Björn suddenly woke up and the interviewer and audience couldn't stop laughing and went in shock bc it really went from 1% to 90% in just seconds

  • @shoobror8291
    @shoobror8291 Před 7 lety +189

    His humour is revolved round his awkwardness. The crowd would be fucking dying home in sweden xD

      His ability to look totally clueless is a huge part of his comedy and he does it so incredibly well.

    @MajaChabo Před 7 lety +205

    omg its so cringe because he's so funny in Sweden and we're kinda used to Björns humor but it seems like in America no one really gets it, its such a shame cause I PROMISE he's sooo funny haha

    • @NeaEmrys
      @NeaEmrys Před 7 lety +29

      They laughed pretty hard several times during this video. I'd say he's doing fine.

    • @doobiesmoke15
      @doobiesmoke15 Před 7 lety +10

      What are you talking about, i love him. He is my favorite part of People Of Earth

    • @deborahtavarez6061
      @deborahtavarez6061 Před 7 lety +5

      We get it...I love him on People of Earth!

    • @doobiesmoke15
      @doobiesmoke15 Před 7 lety +4

      I just say the most recent episode. That scene at the abduction convention really showed off the hilariousness of his awkwardness

    • @janetbeatrice9505
      @janetbeatrice9505 Před 7 lety +4

      Oh, he's my favorite character on People of Earth! Even more than Wyatt Cenac and the others - and it's a good case. He's just so sweet and funny on the show. But I had no idea who he was before this show.

  • @WelshRabbit
    @WelshRabbit Před 5 lety +23

    "People of Earth" was a delightfully amusing show. It's really too bad it was not renewed.

    • @AaronLover85
      @AaronLover85 Před 4 lety +2

      Yes it is really want to know what happens

  • @peronkop
    @peronkop Před 7 lety +57

    You know it won't work when the audience doesn't get that the awkwardness is his routine.

  • @crlchs
    @crlchs Před 7 lety +26

    I don't know what it is about him - but I have to laugh when I watch him. He is hilarious.

  • @fabulousporcupine3828
    @fabulousporcupine3828 Před 6 lety +6

    i love how while most actors/artists etc have long stories or life changing events that made them choose that line of work and they struggle through hardships, he is just like "idk.. it just happened"

  • @candicekaplan5257
    @candicekaplan5257 Před 7 lety +47

    hes funny why is no one laughing? hes literally making great jokes are they just too busy staring at his hotness to listen

  • @Akuvision2011
    @Akuvision2011 Před 7 lety +65

    The concept of a sauna seemed a bit foreign for the interviewer... "good thing he knew how to swim".... O.o

    • @PRO-NOOB-GAMER
      @PRO-NOOB-GAMER Před 7 lety +2

      ye what did she mean with that ? didnt make any sense atall

    • @hittaledigtnamntack
      @hittaledigtnamntack Před 7 lety +5

      She was probably thinking of asian style saunas. I believe it's pretty common that they include hot water springs or pools :) They're kind of different from the kind of sauna Björn was referring to.

    • @Kevin-ge6td
      @Kevin-ge6td Před 7 lety +7

      The way I interpreted it is it's a good thing he knew how to swim, as in when he was a sperm.

    • @raegersnauz
      @raegersnauz Před 7 lety +1

      Kevin That's quite funny, though i doubt that was what she meant. Otherwise she went totally out of her shown hosting character! Real kinky :P

  • @eg2412
    @eg2412 Před 7 lety +84

    omg the interviewer doesnt at all get him :D and why does she think you swim in saunas?

    • @NeaEmrys
      @NeaEmrys Před 7 lety +7

      ikr not at any point did he mention swimming XD

    • @JohnRyder-
      @JohnRyder- Před 7 lety +12

      Shes the only one to get him, did you not see her gasping for air while laughing. The audience did not get him it seems. And saunas are rare in the us so she probably did a mixup.

    • @MULTICK111
      @MULTICK111 Před 6 lety +1

      The joke is about people sweating in saunas...

  • @Kriswixx
    @Kriswixx Před 7 lety +8

    Only seen him on people of Earth, but seems a genuine guy. Looks different that the long hair elf style character. The show is amazing, I like his good natured awkwarddiscovery he has in his voice on the show. I havent seen him do much outside this POE roll. i'll keep an eye out.

  • @T3FAT
    @T3FAT Před 7 lety +32

    What makes this interview akward is that Björn is a funny guy, but she doesn't laugh which makes me cringe so bad! Sorry Björn that you had to go through with it.

  • @janetbeatrice9505
    @janetbeatrice9505 Před 7 lety +6

    After seeing him on People of Earth, playing such a sweet guy, I can't imagine him playing Dwight Shrute! Now I want to see a clip of him doing that.

  • @fylleprilla

    I guess awkward humour is too subtle for americans :D

    • @JohnRyder-
      @JohnRyder- Před 7 lety +15

      Not at all. Look up interviews with Aubrey Plaza, very awkward and satirical humour. I just think that Björn has a unique and very Swedish way of expressing himself. And some jokes gets lost in translation. The dirty ones seemed to work the best lol

    • @Goodlar
      @Goodlar Před 7 lety

  • @MileBlas
    @MileBlas Před 7 lety +31

    Im pretty sure she doesnt know what a sauna is.. Swim in s sauna? Lmao

    • @aptand
      @aptand Před 7 lety +1

      If you would speak Swedish you would know why he would make that mistake. In Swedish the act of sitting in a sauna is called "Bada bastu" which roughly means "Bath in a sauna". In some cases when in English you would say swim, you say bath in Swedish so sometimes Swedish people confuse the words Bath and Swim. "Jag tar ett bad" could for example mean "I'm having a bath" or "I'm going for a swim."
      I hope that's understandable :P

    • @MileBlas
      @MileBlas Před 7 lety +1

      Nej alltså det är programledaren som misstar sig och säger det. I slutet av hans "skämt" så säger hon "Well i think the takeaway is that its a good thing his son knew how to swim". Och när man använder ordet "swim" på sättet som hon gör så menar man bokstavligt talat simma.

    • @aptand
      @aptand Před 7 lety

      Erik Ah borde fattat när du skriver she. :P
      Men jag har hört exakt samma förut så jag trodde det var Björn som sa det.

    • @MileBlas
      @MileBlas Před 7 lety +2

      aha okej :D
      Men eller hur va det lite cringe när hon sa så? xD

    When he says it is always cold, dark and rain... Not alsays. In the summer the sun never gets down at night up in the north and we have temperatures up to 34 C but normally between 22 and 30. At vinter its dark and boring but we love our summers here when we have good weather. Normally between april and october its very nice nature and temperature😊 it is also a big different between south and north of sweden

    @MULTICK111 Před 6 lety

    What's actually cringe is swedes in the comments who talk about how cringe Björn is. This is not cringy, he's nervous and can't really speak proper english. Still funny though. Also, her joke about the neighbours son needing to be able to swim was most likely about the fact that the father must have been very sweaty at that point.

    • @WomanOnTopOnline
      @WomanOnTopOnline Před 4 lety +2

      HAN He does speak English really well, especially for someone whose first language is Swedish. The awkwardness in his speech is part of his signature style.
