We do have TV channels that interrupt with commercials, like TV3, Kanal 5 and so on. But the amount is much less than broadcast channels in the US. But what has annoyed me the most, watching TV at a hotel somewhere in the US, is how horrible the commercials are in general: repeating the same message, phone number or internet address a hundred times in 30 seconds... I mean, come on! At least the ones here in Denmark try to catch your attention with either a good product or humour... Then they tell you how to obtain their product in the end... Not just "Dave's old cars - 555-4242, Dave's old cars - 555-4242, Dave's old cars - 555-4242, call today!" Edit: I know the US can figure out how to make better commercials, like the ones during super bowl... But that's actually the most common format of Danish commercials... Perhaps because they're not allowed to interrupt every 5 minutes, so they need to get us to remember them in a more efficient way.
Danish commercials use a lot of humor and silliness like the CBB Mobil "små priser" fluffy monsters. The humor may not be very good in many of them, but at least they try and overall there's a quite lighthearted approach to things, and they rarely repeat the same phrases over and over as in the "Dave's Old Cars" example above. Another difference is, that danish commercials rarely compare their products with those of the competitors. They focus on what their own products offer, rather than what the competitors products lack, so overall I'd say danish commercials have a more positive attitude. Regarding the frequency of commercial breaks, the american way frustrates me so much that I've completely given up on watching any american live sports event (used to watch a lot of NASCAR, Indy cars and NHL) To me, it's simply too much and I feel like I'm wasting so much time because of all those breaks. They even have fake yellow flag periods in motor racing in order to make room for commercial breaks!
@@syntrilliumc.e.p.9326 I know Viasat (TV3) used to broadcast via UK, didn't hear they'd moved to Sweden, tho the company has been Swedish all the time. And yes, they've always used that little trick to get less restrictions on their commercials, they're allowed to advertise for alcohol and show commercials directly aimed for kids, which is not allowed on Danish broadcasted channels. Are you entirely sure that Danish broadcasts are not allowed to interrupt? It's been a while since I read about the rules, but I had understood it in a way so there's a number of interruptions they're allowed to do per hour, and also a strict limit of minutes per hour. Both of which makes it difficult to have an advertisement model as the Viasat and Discovery channels. But I do seem to remember TV2 interrupting particular long sport events like Superbowl and Le Mans, yet far less times than Kanal 5 can interrupt a 45 minute reality TV episode. But TV2 is also a special case of course, being semi-public service, receiving government money. I believe that they've had to accept some extra restrictions, just like they're obligated to keep the regional news channels running free to air. Anyway, you're right, we have rather strict rules on TV commercials, and the bigger commercial TV broadcasters have figured out how to evade them... But even they are nothing like the US free to air broadcasters 😆 Edit: Also I've noticed that Eurosport, being distributed by Discovery, seems to limit the length of their commercial breaks very much. I believe that it's because it's actually owned by EBU (Eurovision) and they have to be considerate to a whole bunch of different broadcast rules across Europe at once.
@@syntrilliumc.e.p.9326 alright... I did the research: Stk. 2. Reklameblokke kan dog afbryde sportsprogrammer, hvor der forekommer pauser, eller programmer, som er en direkte eller forskudt transmission af en forestilling eller en begivenhed med pauser for publikum. Placering af sådanne reklameblokke skal ske under hensyn til programmets naturlige pauser, varighed og karakter og på en sådan måde, at hverken programmets integritet og værdi eller indehaverens rettigheder krænkes. So, they're not actually allowed to interrupt, unless it's a natural break during sports, like half time in a football game, or a quarter in basket or hand egg... And the limit is 12 out of 60 mins. www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2020/1155 Before that I thought it was something like 2 or 3 interruptions an hour with a total of 9 mins of advertising per hour. Would still rip the business apart for Viasat.
Hello from southwest Ohio! The jewelry is so pretty! Rye bread is a bit hard to find routinely where I live. Kroger will carry it more often during the holiday season.
I had to stay quite a while in the US before I really could see how very different the cultures are. You have made many videos exploring some of these differences, so I know that you are aware of it. Your children are Danish. I think that you are becoming Danish, too. I happen to feel that is mainly a good thing, in spite of all the lovely and amazing parts of American culture. But i would think that, being Danish myself.
I haven't been able to find Danish rye bread anywhere in USA, and when my brother in law and his family lived in Virgina we had to bring some everytime we visited. And I agree, I never put vegetables in deserts. Fruit yes, vegetables no.
I bake zucchini bread and put veggies in cake and bread. I have tons of recipes. Both in Danish and English. I picked up some cookbooks in England while I was there last.
As a dane myself i can 100% get behind the idea of veggies in desserts being weird :D only until i got together with my gf i started to like carrot cake / squash cake etc. before that i would never have went for anything like that over a chocolate cake or "drømmekage" ^^
@@kinuuni Nope ! :) Somehow dodged that, didnt even get it in school when people had cake for birthdays etc. or maybe they did bring it, but i refused to taste it, that could be aswell ;) but its pretty legit. Someone should have told me earlier !
My mother was raised in Brooklyn, NY in the 19 teens, their usual bread was an un bleached white flour bread called Grisle bread. It is baked like rye bread and has the same shape and crust as rye. When they moved to NJ, there was a bread delivery service that had grisle bread and we had it delivered into my elementary school days. The bakery closed and I still 60 years later miss that bread. I live in CT now and have looked in the Scandinavian food stores that we do have but nobody knows grisle bread! It must have been a Brooklyn adaptation of a Norwegian bread. My Danish father loved rye bread and he was very happy with the kind we could buy. Most of it was German style, but there was some of the darker denser Danish kind too. Of course we could see NYC from a tall tree in our town so we could get any kind of food in the world!
In our family, our favorite cake is a zucchini cake. And we love a nice carrot cake as well. I remember in the 70s when I was a child, I was served a yummy potato cake. I suppose that's all I can think of when it comes to deserts and using vegetables.
I watch MSNBC on a free streaming service, and I see mostly commercials about medicine which isn't allowed here in Denmark. They of cause also have the car and insurance commercials. But the ones about prescription medicine are the ones the sticks out the most 🤔
I've been wondering. Each yt video shows how many times it's been viewed. But when have it ACTUALLY been viewed? When 80%, 90% has been viewed or when the commercials start playing? If I want to make sure a video that I like have been counted as being viewed, when can I stop?
I relate hard to the ryebread part, i would really need to research for a staple healthy lunch, that i could eat everyday if i was to move abroad. I'm unsure if vegetables aren't used that much in danish sweets, my experience is a lot of vegetables in sweets. rhubarb carrots and pumpkins especially.
Your youngest son sounds just like his mother, I seems to remember you telling about how difficult it was being a vegetarian in Denmark. Now your son has the same problem with his basic food, rye bread. Going to the US.
I have lived in the US for a few years - many years Ago. I found rye bread en the larger Safeway stores. It was mainly German rye bread but very similar to ours. I was told that sometimes you can find the rye bread in areas with a larger German or Jewish population. But nothing beats the homemade bread. Thank you for your uploads.
Biking in the US is also scary. The infrastructure that exists makes it so that you have to share the road with cars that speed down the street at crazy speeds, and then the driver culture means that most people have zero sympathy for bikers and will hate you for having the gall for trying to get on "their" road. It's so dangerous.
I watched a bit of NFL in the 2000s and I also hated the countless commercial breaks, constantly interrupting the flow of the game you're trying to watch. A four quarters match (1 hour of playtime) match could drag into 2½-3 hours of broadcast time, which is insane. I think commercials are also partly responsible for young people not watching the Oscars anymore; it's such a drag with the constant interruptions, so someone can sell you a product you don't want or need. :)
Yes... I can relate... in my everyday life I speak English. However, when I speak to a person of Danish heritage, I will speak mostly English, but I will also speak some mixed Danish & English. If the person cannot understand English, then I'll do my best to keep the conversation in pure Dansk. On a related topic, I can think of a couple words used in Denmark that are of an English origin. Examples are the words carport and air conditioning; I never hear the words used 'bilhavn' and 'luftkøling'. :)
Dansk folkeparti, a very conservative fond of everything "danish" political party in Denmark, very often has uproars about the "americanastion" of the Danish language, their latest annoyance was a lot of uni courses being taught in English.. English words becomes more and more common in everyday Danish language.
Rye Bread - it depends where you are. Where I moved from (small city) two of the local bakeries carried rye bread, one danish version and the other German. Edit: I'm surprised you didn't mention the use of school buses in relation to kids getting around.
You must have been lucky with the rye bread. It drove my Danish husband crazy not to find anything remotely close to Danish rye bread even though we lived in quite a large town that was filled with mostly Swedish descendants. As far as the school bus goes, that is also subjective. We moved from a very large town, so riding the bus was normal, since the school was very far away. Here, my kids ride their bikes since the only kids who ride the bus live in the country. That was the exact same experience I had in my small town in the USA growing up. If you lived in town, you got to school on your own. The busses were only for the farm kids. Perhaps, the situation is different for you because you live in a bigger town, but I didn't really see much that was weird with the bus situation to mention it. ;)
I hear about 'sweet potatoes' all the time (I'm constantly listening to/watching us media). But I still don't know what a sweet potato is. Can we buy those in dk?
I'll have to finish the video tomorrow, I just stayed up till 4 am (est) watching the blood moon eclipse!!! I got to see a shooting star!!! I wish your family and all people who read this love and prosperity through this once in a lifetime event!!!!!!! Edit: later in the morning* not "tomorrow"😭💀
Do not think there are cakes with vegetables in the nearest is carrot bread but it is not cakes or pie but maybe in a baker there you can find everything thare is with cakes and pies and some bakers you can order what you want so a small chance has you.
👋 from Tennessee. I so wish we didn’t have so many commercials. PBS and cable movies are ad free. I use the word hygge or think of it a lot. You don’t hear it much here, which is a shame, however I think people hygge here without realizing it. We “chill” a lot. Maybe that would be the closest word to hygge. Some people say chill axing or hanging out. I don’t know. Just loving slow living with simple joys.
The sad thing about the bike part is that its not even about culture. Its about infrastructure. Look up "Not Just Bikes" here on youtube for some easy to understand explanations about how and why the US is as it is when it come to cars/bikes And imo veggies are just better in the "salte køkken" then as cake. For cakes fruit is brilliant
There used to be very small, square party-size breads outside the deli in Sam's club (and probably elsewhere; wasn't looking) of Rye and Pumpernickel (not mixed, one flavor.) The rye was very dense, heavy and full of bits. Don't know if it was "Danish"-enough! I'm so happy you're back, Kelly! Just curious, does your family speak any German or Danish? I'm also curious about the metallurgical properties native to Denmark, what occurs in nature.
@@annicaesplund6613 Angst was incorporated into English because of Soren Kirkegaard's existentialism. That makes the roots more Danish than Scandinavian. Ombudsman's origin is from a Danish law from 1241, and although it was adopted by other Scandinavian countries long before it became English there is an argument for the roots being Danish.
To be completely honest, they picked them out! ;) They sent me a list of ideas, but they don't know they which they are getting. I have a feeling that my sister doesn't watch my videos, but my mom does. LOL ;)
Save your youngest son the heartache and bring rugbrødsmix with you...it's quick! and he'll be happy 🤣 The other points are relatable... but I would think that the lack of independent mobility, might be more of a noticeable bother, when you visit the US? The kids won't be able to do what they want, like hop on a bus,(ride bikes)play outside; without someone watching over them - like they can here in DK 🤔 p.s. I'm not a fan of veggie/dessert pies but I do love a light & airy lemon meringue!! 😉💛 hello from Hundested 🌸🌱
Vegetables in a dessert? I've never ever experienced such a horrible thing. 🙂 Btw, is a pie a dessert? That would be a game changer. (If we had pies as dessert.)
@@MyNewDanishLife I dont think YOU talk like that. Easy now! 😄 But nearly all the podcasts I listen to, the RUclips videos I watch (including their many comments, which I've gotten in the habit of reading) etc are American, and I've lots of time heard and seen people say/write 'of' instead of 'have'. So I've been wondering about it but haven't asked folks out there because I risk ending up in a war on words. 🙂⚔️ Especially in ut video comments people can get really upset really fast. Anyway, maybe you have some idea. I know 'of' and 'have' can SOUND quite similar but in writing? Actually, I've seen an American once complain about it, but just complain. Have a nice day!
@@Finnec123 People say "of" because it is a colloquialism. Much like how people say things differently in Denmark depending on where they are from. When it is spelled "of", that is just wrong, but not all people understand why. I taught English for 16 years and have a degree in English, so I know it is wrong to write. However, we say things in different ways based on where we are from and what is comfortable. We all know (or should know) that we should write better than we speak. I know that I am not perfect in my speech, but I don't expect people to judge me.
@@MyNewDanishLife Makes sense. And - yes - writing 'of' instead of 'have' is what makes me wonder the most. Adding to that, this and other peculiarities (in writings) have made me speculate that systematic) deviations from proper American is a way of stating one's belonging to a certain demographic group. That would be interesting. (I.e. I'm not taking about spelling errors or 'autocorrection', which can hit us all.) Btw, my original comment was not aimed at you at all. I was just hoping that you could enlightening me. I could have been more clear on that. Sorry.
"Hygge" that`s ok that one you can keep = cute But how about your Danish Kelly how is that working out ? Traveling young already made their first video in danish ? and lovely channel keep it up and have a nice day :-)
Thanks. I have many videos in Danish. Look through my VIDEOS tab, and you will find that I have been doing them for a while! ;) Much longer than some have had a channel ;)
Oo,. The Christmas Show you mentioned is called The Crazy Christmas Cabaret in Tivoli. I really recommend you go watch it if you have a chance. Back in 2008, my English teacher took us to go watch it in 2.g. and again in 3.g. We loved the show so much so that after graduating, we kept the tradition going for at least another 5 years. I think Vivienne (the creator of the show) announced she was gonna leave years ago, but it looks like she either stayed or came back again. Either way, you should definitely go watch it while she's still around. Her danglish jokes are the best !
Funny that you talk about how Americans are used to/comfortable with commercials/advertisements everywhere and Danes aren't.... and case in point, you then do product advertisement for Ana Luisa, which I as a Dane find a bit annoying when watching YT videos. ;)
@@Kotori32 YT’rs put their videos out for you to watch. Free of charge. Having all the equipment is not cheap. Spending time on editing and uploading and (perhaps) pay for using copyrighted music/images in their videos are not cheap. If they get a chance to have a video sponsored, then that is not the video that will break the video budget this month. Hopefully you are able to earn from it as well, seing the YT often gets to endorse something (s)he hopefully use themselves apart from usually a discount. In the end … you can opt out of watching the video, like you click away from tv commercials. Noones forcing you to watch a channel where the YT promotes a certain item or brand. Just sayin’
@muhest Thanks. Yes, I try to keep the promotion short and let you know how long I’ll be talking about it. The funds I earn help me pay for editing software and a new ring light. It gets pretty dark in DK. ;) But I love sharing a good deal. I get asked by many others to make sponsored videos, but I only do it for companies I would use myself. 🤷🏼♀️
"USA is very large compared to Europe" Oh Kelly, you just stepped on a land mine. Do I have to compare square miles/km and populations? I won't, but think twice next time, please. Europe is much bigger than the US.
Glad you get to visit your family in the U.S. Enjoy your trip and safe travels!
Great points, you should really watch "the julekalender" though.
It's the corniest of corny humor - best of the best from the late 80's
And danish ‘edderdun’ became ‘eiderdown’, but with and upcycled meaning…..
You really should see The Julekalender, it is the funniest TV-show ever!

The sad thing about the bike part is that its not even about culture. Its about infrastructure. Look up "Not Just Bikes" here on youtube for some easy to understand explanations about how and why the US is as it is when it come to cars/bikes
And imo veggies are just better in the "salte køkken" then as cake. For cakes fruit is brilliant
There used to be very small, square party-size breads outside the deli in Sam's club (and probably elsewhere; wasn't looking) of Rye and Pumpernickel (not mixed, one flavor.)
The rye was very dense, heavy and full of bits. Don't know if it was "Danish"-enough!
I'm so happy you're back, Kelly!
Just curious, does your family speak any German or Danish?
I'm also curious about the metallurgical properties native to Denmark, what occurs in nature.
Do they watch "The Julekalender" and laugh? Then they're more Danish than American.
Let's export "hygge" to English. It might counter the other words from Danish like angst and ombudsman.
Angst is used in Norwegian and German and ombudsman is also used in Norway and Sweden.
@@annicaesplund6613 Angst was incorporated into English because of Soren Kirkegaard's existentialism. That makes the roots more Danish than Scandinavian. Ombudsman's origin is from a Danish law from 1241, and although it was adopted by other Scandinavian countries long before it became English there is an argument for the roots being Danish.
But how do your relatives feel about you spoiling their christmas gifts on youtube?
To be completely honest, they picked them out! ;) They sent me a list of ideas, but they don't know they which they are getting. I have a feeling that my sister doesn't watch my videos, but my mom does. LOL ;)
In fact, the US ain't bigger than Europe. US-Americans tends to forget that Europe includes Russia to the Ural Mountains.
I know this if off topic, but Iooooove that necklace! The green colour is beautiful!! I am obsessed with that colour in general! ♥️
You would probably love this set then! ;)
Rhubarb pie.. it's more rhubarb we use and it has its limitations.
I have noticed that you use rhubarb in a lot of things; drinks, ice cream, etc. We also use it in pies. 😀
Save your youngest son the heartache and bring rugbrødsmix with you...it's quick! and he'll be happy 🤣
The other points are relatable...
but I would think that the lack of independent mobility, might be more of a noticeable bother, when you visit the US?
The kids won't be able to do what they want, like hop on a bus,(ride bikes)play outside; without someone watching over them - like they can here in DK 🤔
p.s. I'm not a fan of veggie/dessert pies
but I do love a light & airy lemon meringue!! 😉💛
hello from Hundested 🌸🌱
This is actually the main reason becoming 16 and getting a car is SO importent for US kids. They are prisoners untill then :/
They can hope on a bus in many places and some do. My son quickly forgets rye bread when we get to the uSA!
Vegetables in a dessert?
I've never ever experienced such a horrible thing. 🙂
Btw, is a pie a dessert? That would be a game changer. (If we had pies as dessert.)
Yes. Pies are desserts.
Dont know if its Danish, but i love broccolipies when i or others bake them
🤗
These are probably more quiches and not pies! ;)
Not the worst thing to be. Danish 😀👍🏻🇩🇰
What's with 'could of' instead of 'could have'?
??? Are you criticizing the way I talk???
@@MyNewDanishLife
I dont think YOU talk like that. Easy now! 😄
But nearly all the podcasts I listen to, the RUclips videos I watch (including their many comments, which I've gotten in the habit of reading) etc are American, and I've lots of time heard and seen people say/write 'of' instead of 'have'.
So I've been wondering about it but haven't asked folks out there because I risk ending up in a war on words. 🙂⚔️
Especially in ut video comments people can get really upset really fast.
Anyway, maybe you have some idea. I know 'of' and 'have' can SOUND quite similar but in writing?
Actually, I've seen an American once complain about it, but just complain.
Have a nice day!
@@Finnec123 People say "of" because it is a colloquialism. Much like how people say things differently in Denmark depending on where they are from. When it is spelled "of", that is just wrong, but not all people understand why. I taught English for 16 years and have a degree in English, so I know it is wrong to write. However, we say things in different ways based on where we are from and what is comfortable. We all know (or should know) that we should write better than we speak. I know that I am not perfect in my speech, but I don't expect people to judge me.
@@MyNewDanishLife
Makes sense. And - yes - writing 'of' instead of 'have' is what makes me wonder the most.
Adding to that, this and other peculiarities (in writings) have made me speculate that systematic) deviations from proper American is a way of stating one's belonging to a certain demographic group. That would be interesting.
(I.e. I'm not taking about spelling errors or 'autocorrection', which can hit us all.)
Btw, my original comment was not aimed at you at all. I was just hoping that you could enlightening me. I could have been more clear on that. Sorry.
Hygge = Coziness
"Hygge" that`s ok that one you can keep = cute But how about your Danish Kelly how is that working out ? Traveling young already made their first video in danish ? and lovely channel keep it up and have a nice day :-)
Thanks. I have many videos in Danish. Look through my VIDEOS tab, and you will find that I have been doing them for a while! ;) Much longer than some have had a channel ;)

There are more! ;)
@@MyNewDanishLife sorry
Hvilket hold hepper din mand for? (B) eller (G:)
Neither
Hygge og døgn,cozyness and 24 hours.
Can your kids see Sesame Street?
yes
Please get to the point! This could have been 1/2 as long.
"Hygge" can't be translated in one word. :P
Coziness
Oo,. The Christmas Show you mentioned is called The Crazy Christmas Cabaret in Tivoli. I really recommend you go watch it if you have a chance. Back in 2008, my English teacher took us to go watch it in 2.g. and again in 3.g. We loved the show so much so that after graduating, we kept the tradition going for at least another 5 years.
I think Vivienne (the creator of the show) announced she was gonna leave years ago, but it looks like she either stayed or came back again. Either way, you should definitely go watch it while she's still around. Her danglish jokes are the best !
I think it's The Julekalender not The Crazy Christmass Cabaret they are talking about. The Cabaret is not that well known.
@@jeanetjrgensen5553Ah, I see.
Apple pie….æblekage….but no…..veggies don’t belong in desserts…..
And commercials should stay away from any kind of TV……
Funny that you talk about how Americans are used to/comfortable with commercials/advertisements everywhere and Danes aren't.... and case in point, you then do product advertisement for Ana Luisa, which I as a Dane find a bit annoying when watching YT videos. ;)
Oh the irony! LOL :)
Just opt out by getting yt premium, I did it long time ago and never looked back, watching my favorite channels without commercials is actually nice
@@ragglock I do have YT Premium but you can’t opt out of the RUclipsr herself doing advertisements in the video.
@@Kotori32
YT’rs put their videos out for you to watch. Free of charge. Having all the equipment is not cheap. Spending time on editing and uploading and (perhaps) pay for using copyrighted music/images in their videos are not cheap.
If they get a chance to have a video sponsored, then that is not the video that will break the video budget this month. Hopefully you are able to earn from it as well, seing the YT often gets to endorse something (s)he hopefully use themselves apart from usually a discount.
In the end … you can opt out of watching the video, like you click away from tv commercials. Noones forcing you to watch a channel where the YT promotes a certain item or brand.
Just sayin’
@muhest Thanks. Yes, I try to keep the promotion short and let you know how long I’ll be talking about it. The funds I earn help me pay for editing software and a new ring light. It gets pretty dark in DK. ;) But I love sharing a good deal. I get asked by many others to make sponsored videos, but I only do it for companies I would use myself. 🤷🏼♀️
Your sponsor speeches are very annoying. Can’t you just mention: “This video is sponsored by XXX. Read more below.” and leave it with that, please?!
Try watching real TV channels, Then u and your kids Will see ALOT of annoying commercials 😂
"USA is very large compared to Europe"
Oh Kelly, you just stepped on a land mine.
Do I have to compare square miles/km and populations?
I won't, but think twice next time, please.
Europe is much bigger than the US.
I meant Denmark. I didn't realize I said Europe. Less judgement would be appreciated.
@@MyNewDanishLife
Sorry!
Lost American children
??
Hahahaha, well yea, it’s natural that happens right? They’re in Denmark
