- 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.
Original Video - • Kvarteret Skatan - Bra...
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.
I was just thinking that i’ve never heard anyone say something bad about Scotland i Sweden.
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.
We wanted the Scottish whiskey!
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!
@@vanstingno, a Whisky 😉😋
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.
It reminds me of the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch with Monty Phyton.
Kind of inverted version
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 💖
And that specific person became a whole sub-culture called 'hipster' 😉😂
@@loris-bismar och faaaan vad vi hatar dem, deras "1600:- - i - månaden - hos - barberaren"-skägg, deras 74:- flaskan mikrobryggeriöl, deras hippiekäringar med snorungarna i en selesäck på magen och deras satans eldrivna danska paketcyklar...
Love from Sweden 💖
"... aged in the womb of a Dutch slavewoman." - that should have been in the sketch 😀
😂😂😂 I know some guys that used to meet up for a sauna session where they also sampled single malt from a special, hand made cup that they passed between them. Almost like a ritual😂😂
Guys. It's just alcohol 😂😂
Hahaha, this is pretty much how my husband and his two friends sounded after their trip to Scotland a few years ago. I would love to go there, Swedes just love Scotland!
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.
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. 🤣
I think it was a take on Monty Python's Flying Circus - the Yorkshiremen...
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! 😄
This is some prime Swedish "humble" sarcasm
The most popular spirits in Sweden are vodka and whisky, with aquavit mostly reserved for holidays
Kvateret Skatan i highclass all over. One of Swedens funniest series
We need to have self irony. More laughing, less fighting 😂😂
I'm from sweden and I would love to see the scottish highlands and lochs someday! And one of my favourite british comedies is the scottish Two Doors Down!
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.
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! 😉
@@mikaeltillenius8751 barn (barn), Kirk (kyrka), strand (strand) but this was on Gigha where it used to be to be a Viking village
I'm a Sweden, and I drink only single malt whisky.
Favourite one is the 15 year old "Highland Park".
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.
Whisky has since nineties been incredibly popular
I loved the Scottish comedy show " burnistoun" so funny, i can't believe that it didn't got more famous over here! But to this day,,, i never understood the meaning of " Nae Rolls"😆🤣
300 YEAARS OLD lOSH LOCH LOCHLUNG - amazing taste
Yes, there are some serious snobbery about whisky in Sweden. Have been for years. We have some brands of our own, ”Mackmyra” for instance.
High Coast is a nice Swedish distillery too.
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 😂
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.
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.
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
alot of us Swedes enjoy whisky, but the most popular is beer followed by wine, is my guess.
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.
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.
Vakteret skattan😂😂
The way it kept escalating reminded me of the "too far" sketches from Chewin' the Fat. Was half expecting Jack Jarvis to appear and shout "Aye Victor that's plenty" 🤣
The favourite spirit in Sweden is alcohol!
I've visited a small destillery in Scotland called Edradour. It was a beautiful place and interesting even though I actually don't even like whiskey 😅
Were you greeted by three celtic druids?
@@chalphon4907 Hmm, I don't think so.. but maybe they made some spell so I would'nt remember.. 🧙♂️
Edruador? That sounds suspicously like the Swedish word for sober...
@@FriendoftheDork It really does'nt! Unless it's some weird dialect word I've never heard.. and I live in Sweden. But the Swedish word for sober is nykter
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.
Highland Park and Glenmorangie is my favorites 😃
Me and my family love Scotland. I dont know why, but I feel at home there. I acctually have scottish ancestors. They had the name Beveridge i think.
I'm from Sweden and I'll soon visit Skottland to buy me a good pair of Ghillie Brogues 😉 and I think it was the Vikings that was first with the Kilt! 😜
Love Whisky 💙💛💙💛
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.
Only not onöy
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. ;)
There's a swedish comedy called "Den ofrivillige golfaren" about two old and geeky men that goes to Scotland to learn how to play golf. Though I guess hard to find with english subs...?
Have you reacted to Nilecity? Robert Gustafsson is a gay firechef walking around in a kilt and high heel shoes... I hope someone could translate some of the episodes 😂
Chef betyder kock, tror du menar chief. ;)
@@trollkatt Haha ja det menar jag 😄
The most popular spirit to drink in Sweden is... Hmm... alcohol! :P
It's basically a version of the "four yorkshiremen" skettch.
Well, Talisker is my favorite.
Now I'm imagining a group of Scottish Aquavit connoisseurs...
There is so many whiskey brands in the world..But Skottland and Ireland is the most known and famous. Kvarteret Skatan in inglish is like the street you liv in quarters and the name of it is magpie...a black and white crow spieces
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😉
I don't like whiskey, but my brother and father does. My brother is obsessed with Laphroaig (idk if I spelled that right lol) I don't know really what the most popular hard liqour is here. Vodka maybe? My personal favourite is gin! 🇸🇪
This is a variation of the old Monty Python sketch about how poor they were in childhood!
As a Swede I love whisky but we are mostly vodka drinkers
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!
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.
LOL.
Sweden we love vodka!
😂😂😂
0:03 Haha where did the K go?
Not 'under the sea', but 'under the sea bottom'.
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
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.
When you listen to how people from the swedish island of Gotland speak you can here similaritys to scottish.
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.
we are the last of the "non roman" lets keep that way
Skata(n) = magpie
The Swedish word for "and" is "och", and is pronounced like in "loch"
It really isn't
Did you have a stroke recently? The correct pronunciation is "ock".
What?! No it’s definitely not😂
Och is pronounced like “ock”.
Yes we also have the "och" sound in swedish, it's even a word on it's own (meaning "and")
But it's pronounced as "ock", but spelled the same way, "och".
Not the same sound, the H isnt silent in Loch but it is in Och.
@@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"..
@@KungKokkos ...which was my point. Glad you got it 🤣
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.
swedish and comedy is an oxymoron.
The swedish word for "and" is just loch without the l and pronounce the same so we should not have a problem with loch
Please speak clear english, I don't understand what you say, and I don't like to use subtitles
Hahahahaha
Jesus wept, that was sh1te even for Swedish 'comedy - which all feels like it was created in the seventies. A bit like everything else created in Sweden. It all desperately tries to be as inoffensive as possible - the curse of lagom (or mediocre) - but almost always is by mistake. They've turned the totally oblivious, room cringing faux pas into an art form.
A very good video from a group of Swedish filmmakers called Vaskduellen " Duel of the waste " all about one upping the other with the biggest waste czcams.com/video/uhEpMJ3n_wU/video.html&rco=1 I do also recommend some of their other videos as they always use some sort of satire for comedy
