Scandinavian countries are like siblings, we make fun of eachother 24/7. But as soon as another non-scandinavian country makes fun of one of us, we protect like brother
Amen
Finland is our little brother. Nobody mess with our little brother.
No, nobody likes Sweden.

On a scale of 1-10 how pretty are the islands?
Wait what?
Is it worth a visit to the islands? I’m from Ireland and thinking of going on holidays there.
The norweigian part of NCC made it😁
@@OCinneide Supposedly very pretty, my mother went there and claimed it was the most beautiful place she ever visited. She did however visit and stay with friends and there's not much to do besides ecotourism and seeing the natural sights, but if that excites you then go for it.
let’s also not forget, Finland made Clash of Clans

@@hatman44 Norwegian is considered the baseline for scandinavian languages..
The most Swedish thing about this video is believing Denmark is the most mocked country of all the Nordic countries LMAO
And The other nordic countries are like the budget versions of Sweden Smaller countries, smaller military, smaller GDP, not as famous, less important inventions and companies and people have come from the other countries etc. It Will always be the little brothers of Sweden. Less powerful, less important on the global scale, less famous etc. All nordic countries have little brother complex towards Sweden

As a Swede in my personal experience the nordics joke about Sweden rather than Denmark, which is also why Sweden has jokes about all of the Scandinavian countries
Longyearbyen is a village in Svalbard. It’s so cold that dying has been illegal there since 1950 when locals discovered that bodies weren’t decomposing in the cemetery because of the frigid weather.
In fact, when scientists exhumed corpses of those who died in the 1918 flu pandemic in 1998, they were able to retrieve live samples of the deadly virus 💀
Dying is NOT illegal in Longyearbyen, that's a myth.
Dying there is just unlikely, because if you get seriously ill, you'll be transported to a bigger town or city with a better hospital.
@@Jacob_Junge ok, i didnt know that thnx!
I was doubting whether you were truly Swedish until you said that Denmark is the country that gets made fun of the most. Only a fjeldabe would claim such a thing
Alvor, og de staver også deres Alfabet helt forkert.
Not gonna lie "fjeldabe" looks like a made-up word like
"Oh yeah, I was zlorping my neeberglobber with my fjeldabe."

im like 99% sure i saw a graph saying that everyone except sweden makes fun of sweden more than any other country.
I’ve never seen anyone make fun of sweden
As a dane i have not met another danish person that dosent hate sweden
@@2ndcomingofFritz Must be Swedish then eh... :D
As a Fin we make fun of Sweden and call them gay, like pretty much Sacha Baron's Brüno is how we view Sweden. How ever this is not hate but more like brotherly teasing and we know during hockey season it's two wolves growling to each others. How ever I know Norway and Sweden makes lots of joke about Denmark so there's that. We don't really so much think of them because they too far away from us, but we do sometimes call them potato mouths and hold them as something like combination of Netherlands and Scandinavia (Norway and Sweden in this case because of course Denmark is Scandi because it's in Denmark duh...)
@@GrumpyGremlin. its kinda funny since you also have the little brother complex to sweden. swedish brands and stores all over the place when you go visit. my cousins living in helsinki went to swedish speaking schools etc
I’m not sure how i should feel about your opinion of Denmark... but i do agree that we have the heaviest accent when speaking English
Det syntes jeg rent faktisk ikke måske lyder jeg som en need men stadig

@@studentstudent5044 But isn't Denmark older also Sweden claimed independence from the Danish ruled kalmar-union?
im swedsh and we always make fun of denmark so hes relatives told him that to make him feel better
@@lukasholst1282 Denmark has never rules Sweden, like literally ever. And Sweden and Denmark are almost as old. Sweden has always had a bigger empire than Denmark and it’s called the Kalmar Union cause Kalmar is a place in Sweden. Sweden was the biggest country in the union, nobody ruled over them.
@@studentstudent5044I'm sorry but that is straight up wrong. Sweden was basically conquered by the Queen of Denmark. It was also Sweden that had almost all their Nobels killed because the Danish king was angry. Sweden definitely became a lot stronger then Denmark later on but at that time Sweden was a puppet of Denmark. Also it was the adopted son of the queen that became king of Denmark Sweden and Norway in the Kalmar union
These Nordic comparisons are always so funny to me when you realize how interchangeable the stereotypes are.

Fun fact: did you know the colors of the scandinavian flags represents their people?
In the norweigan flag, the white represents the snow on the mountain tops, the navy blue represents the deep seas and lakes, and the maroon red represents the welcoming and kind nature of the people.
In the danish flag, the white represents the purity of the people, and the red represents the blood of their enemies on the battlefield.
Whereas the swedish flag, the blue represents the beatings and black eyes they get, and the yellow represents the PISS in their pants when they see us coming for them.

No more Lego for you, no more speakers for you. From Denmark
Damn, this dude is pretty funny. I'm on video 3 here and enjoying it.
Here's some Lego lore: Lego used to be wooden toys! The reason Lego changed from wood to plastic is because of a fire that burned down Ole Kirk Christiansen's wooden toy inventory in 1942. In fact, this was actually the second fire Ole faced at his workshop. These tragedies would become part of a big comeback story, however. He took the first fire as an excuse to build a bigger workshop, stock market crashed in 1929, his wife died in 1932, and then facing financial disaster he let go of most of his staff. But he made a big decision, he decided to use his wood that he originally used for furniture to create cheap, wooden toys that would sell.
He slid into bankruptcy by doing this, but he kept going, refusing to stop making toys. He changed his company's name to Lego (leg godt; play well) to reflect its new direction, and then when the second fire happened in 1942, he had enough to bounce back and move forward, deciding that wood was too prone to fire and jumped to plastic when traditional stuff used to produce goods weren't available. Using a plastic molding machine invented in the UK, Ole bought Denmark's first in 1946 and called the new product the "Automatic Binding Brick", a name in English rather than Danish to honor the Allies who liberated Denmark.
Lego was preceeded by a British invention by Hilary Fisher Page.
@@mariushart The reason it flopped was because he was a man with a womans name.
@@tobiashaurum3611 @mariushart What happened is the British bricks sucked ass, so the Danish guy copied them but gave them some structural supports that let them snap on and off without getting loose with age. He then filed a patent and it has been upheld because it is considered a dramatic enough improvement on the original concept.

3:09 People who have that attitude towards life have unironically been some of the best people I've known. Not overthinking anything. No existential dread or neurosis. No real ideological blinkers. Not interested in trying to climb socially or out perform anyone.
Just kind of passively experiencing life one moment at a time. Always finding ways to amuse themselves. Happy with very little,expecting almost nothing and usually bothering no one.
Of all the horrible ways people live, whether by circumstance or choice, their approach is pretty good.
Interresting video thank you
Bro, every country in scandinavia makes jokes about sweden, at least in Norway we do😂
Can confirm as a Finn
Same in Finland. It's funny that one of the unifying factors of Nordics is that we all make fun of Swedes. At least all three of Sweden's neighbours, and for some reason they believe we all do it to Denmark.

5:27 first thing that came to my mind “LUKAS GRAHAM”
Bruh Finland is more like the most INTROVERTED Nordic country, though Finland is very eccentric 😂 We're all awkward as fucking shit with strangers - I had a British friend of mine visiting me in Western Finland a couple of years ago, we went to the local pub and he was pretty much greeting everyone and throwing in some friendly jokes as an act of kindness, everyone was glaring at him all mad and skeptical and shit and acting super cold towards him. They thought he was either trying to pick a fight with them or just annoying in general even though he was only saying polite things and not even throwing in any kind of banter 💀 Rule number 1 is that you don't fucking talk to strangers here lmfao
Yes, you are 100% right
My thought exactly. I'm born and raised in Norway, but one grandparent on both sides are finnish.
This is why I love you so much (Norwegian here).
You can also be extremely inclusive, like when I was up in Oulu at a science conference some 20 years ago and going out to a bar one evening where an awesome local band was playing. After a few beers, one must go to the gents - where I was instantly invited to join the line of dudes already lined up at the pissoire, performing "rock-pissing" (pants and boxers dropped to their ankles). I almost cried with laughter and the feeling of acceptance. The flight back to Norway the next day was painful though, as I felt so included with new friends that I started ordering myself "Finlandia" hours past midnight to relive my teens.
That sounds amazing for socially awkward people… I cringe at myself when I try to feign small talk. And I’d react either too dramatically or mildly and honestly I just want to exit myself out of these situations.

I've also celebrated my first New Year's Eve in a foreign country and culture, and I must say it was the most interesting one so far.
I've also been to Billund and the Lego House, which was one of my bucket list wishes, since I've been a fan of Lego ever since I was a kid!

Finally, someone who says how overrated and annoyingly expensive is the bleeding Blue Lagoon in Iceland! Piece of advice (in case a volcano won't blow that damn thing away): You can park FOR FREE just by the lake (really rare in the whole contry to find a cost-free parking spot), walk for 5-10 minutes, take a couple of pics and leave that tourist trap in order to visit the rest of Iceland which is a place beyond your imagination!
Been living in Longyearbyen Svalbard here. The weapon thing only counts for if you are outside of the polar bear safety zone, which is just the city limits, but if you are going to the store you don't need a gun. Btw there is only one grocery store there. It is visible at 10:50. It is the blue building.
Lesser known things about svalbard is that for 125 days in the year the sun never sets, and for 118 days the sun never rises. And in the other parts of the year it is only a narrow window of normal day night cycles. There are points where you can see plentyfull of stars at noon, and bright day at midnight. There is also little to no snowfall. The dry climate makes it so it almost never rains/snows. 40% of all of Svalbards inhabitans do not have a Norwegian citizenship. There are more snowscooters then people, around 3 scooters per person. Many people know that you can't legaly die on Svalbard, but you can also not give birth on the island. Longyearbyen has alot of "Northernmost" Records: Northernmost Hostpital, Church, Gas Station, Wine Cellar, School, Art gallery etc. Svalbard is really barren. There is about 20km^2 per person. Only Greenland and antarctica are more barren.
If you are ever visiting Svalbard, be ready to pay up, since it is very expencive to do anything, but I recomend to save up and do it. Driving snowscooters through wide valleys as the eternal sunset colors the sky red for the entire day whilst the snowcovered mountains travel past you is one of the most unique and special experiences in my entire life. Seing the low sun only shining on the tips of the mountains in a bright pastel pink is truly something special. Seeing small tiny cabins in a sea of white and blue and the drift ice littering the waters.
If you are going to visit here are the best periods:
Boat season: July- October. Best for going on boat trips and seeing the landscape without snow. Are you going to visit Pyramiden, go here.
Dark season: If you want to experience dayliong darkness the best bet is november-December.
Twilight Season (the best IMO): Late january- February. Experience the low sun and the red sky. Unique to the Arctic and Snowscooter season begins here.
Snowscooter season: March-May: Most practical time for Snowscootering. Expect long days from the end of March and onward and bright sun and cold temperatures. March is the colderst month on Svalbard.
Are you going in March/April or in the Summer, Expect alot of Tourists.
fun fact: before england napped like half of the world, it could've actually been denmark who did it instead.

The reason the Faroese have grassy roofs is because these roofs provide protection from rain and thermal insulation. During the Viking and Middle Ages most houses had sod roofs. At the time of the Norse settlement in Iceland (as early as 874) and the Faroese archipelago (sometime between the 9th century to the 10th century), these islands were not that forested, which is why the Scandinavian settlers needed to cope with the challenge of building durable homesteads mainly out of turf. And the tunnel work they've done to tackle the terrain is just as incredible! Eysturoyartunnilin for example, which opened in December 2020, has a length of nearly 37,000 feet or 11,200 m. It connects the island of Streymoy to the island of Eysturoy. It stands out among every other undersea tunnel because it has the world's first undersea ROUNDABOUT!
Their main airport was actually built by the British, and the British played a key role in Faroese identity as the first time the Faroese flag was officially used was in 1940. The Faroese flag was designed in 1919 by Jens Oliver Lisberg and others while they were studying in Copenhagen. The first time it was raised was in June of that year in Fámjin on the occasion of a wedding, however it wasn't officially adopted until the British took over because they didn't want the same flag as German-occupied Denmark to be used. Denmark wouldn't recognize the flag until 1948 when the Home Rule Act passed.
As a Dane. Great video. Huge fun. And yes, i love the internal Scandinavian banter we got...
Danes : Scandinavias big brother. The other two, would lose their way, if not for Denmark.
Norwegians : Scandianavias loud mouthed bombastic brother. The one that keeps to himself, and works the hardest.
Swedes : Scandinavias caring brother. The one that would cut down a tree, without first hugging every tree in the forest, and asking it's permission.
Nah, i kid. I have nothing but deep respect for all my brothers in Scandinavia. I am proud to be a Scandianvian. Even if it's "only" as a Dane...
The ”Lagom” pronounciation was way too good😂
i love how he treats sweden like his football team
He knows they belong in the gutter. Like their football team.
I've lived in most of those countries for decades, and I can tell the difference, short and sweet:
IN Sweden: You need an agreement for everything, preferably permits in duplicates and triplicates for anything you want to do. And they have a very dry sense of state approved humor. In Denmark they like to do whatever they like to do, crossing red lights is a national sport, and their humor is all about how far you can take sarcasm. Don't ever ask for money! In Norway you have to agree with whomever you want to joke with, they got more oil money than they know what to do with and there's a donut-cop behind every building. In Finland they never smile or joke, or do they? It's kind of a secret, but they have the darkest sense of humor that would make hell vanilla sauce in comparison and they like to sweat in a wood-house while drinking several bottles of something that would etch a hole trough a diamond floor, while trying to explain the power of Sushi... I mean Sisu. Iceland is like your arch stereotype of an Americans vision of Scandinavia, and they live up to it.
Denmark is to the nordics what Florida is to the US 😅
Oh yeah the sarcasm in Denmark!!! People think we dont have any humor. WE DO! you just dont get our level of sarcasm 😂

Honestly I'm absolutely astonished that Icelandic isn't an extinct language. It's cool they've kept it alive.
0:51 Here in Finland we also celebrate Christmas on 24.12 and when you are a kid, the presents are usually opened after Christmas dinner, so in the evening. Even when me, my mom and dad lived in the UK for a year, we celebrated Christmas on 24.12 and that was actually the first time I heard they celebrate Christmas on 25.12 and open presents in the morning in other countries:D (I was 6yo)
Thought ww call 25.12 "Christmas day", so it's still the "main Christmas day" here too.
It´s exactly the same in Austria. Weird anglos always think the whole world revolves around them.
We that in Norway too😊
Scandinavian countries are like brothers if you think about it. We always tease each other, but the second an outsider makes fun of us, we stand together.
Thank you Swedes for Rurik, thanks to you my state exists ..... Russia
A top tier Denmark-Sweden moment I can remember, was when a Danish comedian made fun of Sweden, and then later he was dragged onto a Swedish talk show to debate politics.
Swedish people are not sensitive you guys.
yes we are 😂 people here are so politically correct and cry over anything

How? Why? The other nordic coumtries are like the budget versions of Sweden? Smaller countries, smaller military, smaller GDP, not as famous, less important inventions and companies and people have come from the other countries etc. It Will always be the little brothers of Sweden. All nordic countries have little brother complex towards Sweden

one of the best videos you've ever made, now we're waiting for a version for South America and the Balkans
Faroe Islands despite a population of 50'000 somehow managed to create one of the best metal band too
what band
I got to the section about Iceland's volcano being about to erupt a couple of minutes after the BBC notification went off about the eruption just occuring. Shpooky
"All the good Scandinavian music"
Doesn't show a single metal band.
Because there are no such things as ''good metal bands'', it's all just old people screaming at the microphones like they would scream at their kids if they accidentally broke something

As north african living in North Africa since middle paleolithic, I can ensure this video is entirely factual
So you're Native and not an arab coloniser
@@ugwuanyicollins6136Why are you going around asking people if they're native?
As another North African living in North Africa I agree
@@ugwuanyicollins6136 As a fellow Imazighen of Matmata, Zuwara and possibly Awerba ancestral root, I can ensure you that Arabs were and are a part of our history and world in a way more complex and interesting than just as "colonizer", at the opposite of french, spanish and Italians - who were only last-minute settlers driven out quite quickly given the length of our history.
Maghreb empires raises with both forces (Arabs and Imazighen), sometimes opposed, sometimes allied, sometimes dominated by Arabs, but mostly ruled by Imazighen from many different people and places in Tamazgha over the time.
Our story is a way more interesting and complex than a simple relationship between dominant and dominated, newcomers and natives - as the pseudo-Berberists in the pay of French-speaking post-colonial propaganda would have us believe.
It is our duty to learn this rich and complex history and pass it on instead of falling into the pan-Africanist trap which wants to make us the so-called "Berbers purified of the Arab settler", while certain North Africans (including those of Imazighen ancestry) have spoken Arabic for more than a millennium for some.
It is understood that there is no question here of falling into the opposite extreme which would make us Gulf Arabs, as claimed by the socialist pan-Arabist propaganda which abounds in our Maghreb countries.

I love living in Sweden it was...calmer 12 years ago, but even with some of the growing issues in the inner city's there is literally no other country on earth I would want to live, going to be moving north soon to get away from Stockholm and the ridiculous housing crisis, and live in peace in the mountains
Bro knows Swedish lore like it’s the back of his hand
Its so funny being Icelandic and seeing tourists buy water from the store like u cant drink it from the tap lol
People actually buy water? The only time that's acceptable is when you're running a race or visiting a country with no plumbing .
@@ElectrostatiCrow Ignorant tourists mainly
@ItachisCrowy India (largely) has plumbing, but anyone with a brain wouldn’t drink from the tap there.
@@Sniperboy5551 lol. I remember an Indian minister once said that the water in the taps was safe to drink after residents were complaining about how toxic the water was. He drank the water and got sick right there and then.
Shhhh don't tell them that we like having their money buying 20 liters of water in Bonus
My favourite part of being Swedish is all the attention we get from our Nordic brothers. It really shows how much they care about us.
Its not a good kind of attention though. All scandinavian coutries make fun of you and think you are the least liked
Swedish devil
That's because we feel sorry for the state you're country is in right now 😂
Let me spell it out for you. It's a ribbing joke to make people from other nordic countries annoyed about me "interpreting" their hate as love and also make them think about that whenever they do think negatively of us they still think about us. Because we really are sibling countries, we give eachother shit for everything but we also would die for one another. @@andreasdaugstrup8844

Faroe Islands fun facts: A considerable number of knitted Faroese sweaters have been exported with standing orders to the Danish army, especially during the Napoleonic wars, when several thousand sweaters were exported yearly. The agricultural policies of the Faroe Islands, have over the centuries divided the pasture into 463 different land lots. Between 1035 and 1814, the Faroe Islands were part of the Kingdom of Norway, which was in a personal union with Denmark from 1380. In 1814, the Treaty of Kiel transferred Norway to Sweden, whereas Denmark kept its Atlantic territories like the Faroe Islands.
The white on their flag symbolizes the foam of the sea and the pure and radiant sky of the Faroe Islands, while the blue and red colors are reminiscent of other Scandinavian and Nordic flags, representing the Faroe Islands' bonds with other Nordic places. The Faroese language is one of five languages descended from Old West Norse spoken in the Middle Ages, the others being Norwegian, Icelandic, and the extinct Norn and Greenlandic Norse. Faroese and Icelandic, its closest extant relative, are not mutually intelligible in speech, but the written languages resemble each other quite closely.
I had no idea that North Korean intelligence services had access to this level of information-depth, but thank you, supreme leader!

As an Icelander, the volcanic activity is hardly on the radar for concern over natural disasters. The avalanches are the killers. The volcanoes and seismic activity give a lot of advance warning, compared to avalanches, and most of the time end up being a cool hike once the eruption starts.

As a humanoid I can confirm people in Copenhagen are the least woke and most fun people out of the main Scandanavian cities.
That’s a lie, people from copenhagen copy all the ideologies of USA, with all the woke and political shit
What does woke even mean in this context??
Woke folks fuck the most, though.
Dude... come to the Danish countryside. Up north people do not care about woke.
