Icelandic viewer here, there was another study in 2018 where 31% of Icelanders said they either believed in elves or were unwilling to rule out the possibility that they exist. As for granting wishes and not pissing them off, according to myths the elves usually wouldn't do anything to you unless you messed with them first and if you helped them out in some way they would always return the favor later.
Hey is not 58% so they made progress
@@mihajlomujkovic6816 they're regressing, elves are clearly real, how else would you explain anything ever?
Gods? I don't think so, seems unlikely, magical people in the sky sounds made up, magical people in the forest though, that's basically the precursor of witches, which were also real!
How else would you explain all the hangings / executions of women in the past?
They were just executing innocent women?
Seems far fetched to me, I would trust the judgment of pre-industrial-revolution people fully, it's not like they believed anything untrue!
@@viktorbirkeland6520 you do have a point
Definately more like regression Landvaettir are very real
The cat one is called the Yule Cat, a cat the size of a mountain that eats you if you received no new clothes on the day before Christmas. For any Americans who alway got clothes as an early present on Christmas eve and wondered why, that is a holdover tradition from the Yule Cat tradition.
but what's the point of that one. traditions like those are normally used to scare kids into behaving. but the kid has no control over whether someone got them clothes or not. and i find it hard to believe it would scare adults into getting their ids clothes.
@@joshuaperry7323 It was used into scaring workers into making clothing quicker, as well as to encourage people to get clothes. It was specifically used to scare adults, not kids.
@@thejestor9378 man... that's kinda hilarious. actually kinda fucked up as well. but i mean. yea i guess adults believed in some stupid stuff in the past as well. i really hope that its not that effective now a days .
@@joshuaperry7323 Most places: no
Iceland: sadly yes
@@joshuaperry7323 we still spend a ton of money in christmas, just because everyone else does? who said that you shoukd buy each other's gifts on christmas day?
This channel feels like the news
That is news to me.
@@ChicagoReacts Bam.
True
this channel is better than the news, because im laughing with them instead of at them or being furious about politics
@@ChicagoReacts funny
When you've already watched all of Sams videos so you need to watch other people watching them.
In 2007, it was shown that 62% of the Icelandic population believes in elves
I have a welsh friend who I hang out with often so I would say I’m quite skilled at the art of rap battling a horse skull
Perchta's name literally translates into "Belly Sliter". Hence the ripping out your intestines thing.
Its worth noting that the version of elves that Icelandic people believe in is more like the Norse alfar than the modern day Christmas or Tolkien elves that most of us are familiar with.\
For a few more details, modern day elves, dwarves and fairies are all basically cultural descendants of the same Norse myths and share a lot of common features the further back you go. Our modern perceptions are basically because Tolkien put all the mythology of Europe in a blender to come up with his setting, but in Icelandic (and similar to old Norse) belief, alfar live in mounds and other geological formations and come out at night to do...various things. The specifics depend on which myth you're reading. I will say there are various places in Iceland that locals regard as fairy mounds, and enough people are concerned that they might be legit that it causes delays in construction projects and so on, with roads having to be rerouted or huge boulders having to be left in place out of a concern for disturbing the elves/fairies/alfar.
This channel should grow.
Imagine losing a rap battle to a horse skull
If you're allowed to, look at the Overly Sarcastic Productions videos on the Wild Hunt, HP Lovecraft, Frankenstein, and Dracula. They're pretty good.
Yeah, more people need to check out OSP. Hopefully it’s just a matter of time, since lots of people are now watching Sam O’Nella, and OSP is like Sam but more detailed and educational
I find Overly Sarcastic to be entertaining, but often gets certain key details wrong in an effort to simplify the summaries.
@@sifuculreif6448 They're better than the Infographics show that's been caught outright making things up for views multiple times and copyright strike their critics.
I, as a German Wiener Schnitzel, have never heard of this spinner lady before I watched Sam's video 🧐
Ist eins von diesen alpendingern glaub ich
Imagine if Weiner Shnitzel was a condecoration or something like that. I'd give my ass to recieve it
The Yule Cat's name is Jólakötturinn
I don't blame Sam for not even trying it.
Their conversation about the -seven dwarves- sounds like something that fits in rick and morty
Elves are less "magical and fun" and more "mischievous and vengeful", and even those who don't believe in them are often unwilling to really put it to the test
There was a case of a road being built, where after moving a boulder that locals said had elves living there, the project was plagued by setbacks and accidents until the company replaced the rocks, gave an apology and rerouted the road, after which it was smooth sailing.
It's kinda like Ireland and fairies. Plenty of people don't believe in them, but very few would be willing to camp overnight in a fairy ring
the sausage swiper bit was very rick and morty-ie
The secret 13th elf: Glizzy Gladiator
If you ever see a welsh place name on a sign for example, they often start with "Ll" which is pronounced as "Cl" so Llandudno, for example, is pronounced as "Clandriyllo" the phonetic 'w' also makes an uh sound.
You pick these things up when you've been there a few times on holiday and also dont live a million miles away from Northern Wales.
OMG I love your channel so so much Eve
Neat new channel ^^
I like that no one in this channel has those over the top reactions that yoy see in some react channels

Name 1 person who can hear the video over the mouth in this video.
I'll wait
7:11 oh lady, you were already sausage swiper :')
Y'all should check out CPG Grey, very educational and entertaining. Lookup his Rules for Rulers video, very informative.
The fine bros wish they were this cool
Never been to Iceland but Iceland's population is so small they have an app that can tell weather someone is related to you incase you want to have children with them... as you know, smartphones didn't exist in 1998 so it explains a lot
The poll is most likely exaggerated to lure tourists to the country. As most shops tailored to foreigners are horribly overpriced, I mean seriously who’d pay close to 60$ for a tiny puffin statue.
Bottom of comments gang
It’s actually dropped quite a bit. It’s at 30% which is kinda sad it’s kinda nice having country believe in fun folklore.
Yea I live in Iceland and I know for a fact that the survey did not include the people born after 2000 since like 90% of us never answer surveys so It should be lower at least 20% and also we got a tradition In Vestmanneyjum (location) that we say goodbye to grýlu and leppalúđa and their children they light torches coming down the mountain and walk the streets and we drink and light fireworks and sing and dance around a bonfire it's lit recommend coming to iceland at that time
The New Yule Lad trading card game!
Would YOU want to tell the elves they don't exist? The Fair Folk are terrifying.
React to True Stories about Chimps by Sam O'nella
I prefer the Cox n’ Crendor coverage of the Yule Lads, Yule Cat, and Yule Log. But this is still nice.
sausage swiper no swiping
Home made fierworks
It feels wrong hearing about the Yule Lads from someone other than Cox n'Crendor.
Great for channels to look at comments! Thank you for watching my suggestion.
Fun fact: Heathans are the fastes geowing religion on Island.
Nothings too far in Chicago
Mari lwyd

The templin Institute just put out a video about warhammer 40,000 and the Emperor of the imperium! Pls watch!
