The stereotypes Ilari was referring to: Lahti (city): criminals you don't want to be associated with Turku (city): essentially dumb people Savo (region, cities f.e. Pieksämäki and Kuopio): hard to understand socially, don't give straight answers to questions Ostrobothnia (region, cities f.e. Nurmo and Seinäjoki): grumpy and old-fashioned people, they also wrestle a lot hence the jokes about it Lappi (region): isolated people who get their income by jobs like reindeer farming Vantaa (city): poor Finn-Swedes (people): wealthy and posh "sissies" (Vi har kommit and Akta din eget liv are swedish sentences. Marco Bjuström is a finn-swede tv-host and media personnel) Karelian (region): socially quick Tavastia (region): socially slow And these are only stereotypes (so any Finn reading this far, don't take it personally, you've heard of them too!)
Additional context for Finn-Swedes: Finland used to be under Swedish rule and the land was treated as a military buffer against attacks from the east and the people were used for basically production, to leech taxes from and as soldiers, just a few hundred years back and there's still a large number of Swedish speakers because of it. Finnish people were treated like commoners, with Swedish being the language spoken and used by governing bodies, about half the taxes being sent straight to Sweden and with most fishing rights getting taken from the Finnish and given to the Swedish. They are also on average more wealthy than average, thanks to many of the Finn-Swede families having a background as traders, politicians and other positions of power, which isn't exactly how they are now, but due to generational wealth and Finn-Swede communities being oddly tightly connected communities, some average difference still exists. And while the difference isn't actually that large on average, Finn-Swedes represent about 2/3's of "the Finnish nobility" or "old money" as wikipedia puts it, adding to the wealthy and posh stereotyping. That bad history, on top of the average difference in wealth and the old money, is amplified by the mandatory Swedish classes in high-school. The population of Finn-Swedes consists of about 300 000. Being forced to study the language isn't helping matters, as most people will never need, because of around 5.2~% of the population, who are mostly in their own communities. The old money stereotype is also affected by the fact that Finn-Swede population is largely in specific parts of the country, but they still represent around 5% of the parliament, which leads to some Finns only seeing them in political settings. I won't go deeper than that, there's quite a bit of history there understandably, but I find it very interesting. Usually minority groups have been the ones under significant political, economical and social scrutiny, so having such a rare "opposite" situation is something I'm a bit fascinated by. The "sissy" part is just Finnish making fun of how Swedish is often spoken flamboyantly. Also, since it's the topic, hello from Turku and specifically the other side of the river! No wonder people think we are idiots, we think the east side is this side of the river and the west side is the other side of the river, regardless which side you are on.
Savo people tend to be easy going, witty with their language, joksters, pranksters, avoiding responsibility, avoiding simple yes or no answers..(it may or may not be)...that's the common idea anyways...From Savo.
Ostrobothnia is like the Texas of Finland. People are very conservative there and perhaps more intolerant than average. Wrestling is their ”national sport”. I think Ilari is very funny and these characterizations are spot on, of course they are stereotypes. But on the other hand, no smoke without fire? 😅
This is one of my favourite Finnish stand up bits (especially if you don't count in ISMO) of all time. The accuracy of the stereotypes makes it all even funnier 😂 (Hannu) *Karpo* from "Karpolla on asiaa" was a Michael Moore styled journalistic hit tv-show in the 80s and 90s (I think it still ran in the early 00s, but it wasn't that big of deal anymore) in Finland, that traveled all over Finland going over injustices/tragedies of normal people caused by crooked officials, businesses or politicians. He traveled with a tv-crew, making investigative journalism, interviews ( and wore an instantly recognizable massive fur hat he become known for) to raise domestic awareness to the situation and to get things fixed. He was a terror for people trying to play fast and loose with regulations and the law, man I really wish he or someone similar would come back. Marco Bjurström was a dancer, tv-show host, director among many other things he did, who was insanely popular in the late 90s and early 00s and he was all about positive vibes and to not be afraid to be happy and positive, and frivolous. I have actually accidentally ran into him once, literally 😂I took a sharp turn from a door in haste, and ran right into him. I had no idea he had come to our school to perform about anti-bullying that day, so I was rubbing my eyes a bit that did I just imagine who it was. He was one of the most iconic gay people in Finland who pretty much normalized and even made it a bit cool to be gay, even though ironically he denied being gay for the longest time (but absolutely no one believed him), and didn't officially come out until much much later. Johansson is a common Swedish last name, so most everyone will think you are Swedish-Finnish ps. The early bit about Turku going off-step, is extremely funny and truly accurate way of describing them in this skit. While there is no really one big defining feature to latch on, like with the rest, they are always just slightly off-sync with the whole rest of Finland. Interacting with people from Turku always feels like you are communicating with someone on a totally different wavelength, like they were from a different country. I've lived and traveled all over Finland, and I have never felt the same strangeness with anyone else, except with people from Turku. This difference often surfaces most clearly in their differing sense of humour, or lack of it. This is why you'll find Turku being made fun of by pretty much everyone. Pretty much the only thing people from Helsinki and Tampere will stop fighting each other and agree upon something, is that Turku is indeed even worse than either of them 😂 People are Savo are considered the most relaxed jokesters in Finland, where being deadly serious is almost not allowed. While they are often pretty hard to figure out and work with, everyone tends to agree that they are the most liked of all Finns, and they (like Karelians, but for different reason) bring the room to life. This comedian is the perfect example of people from Savo We have literally more reindeers in Lapland than there are people, and it is the most sparsely populated region in EU. It is quite common to see reindeers on the yard or the streets when leaving home; a few reindeers standing/laying in the middle of a road is what we call a traffic jam here in Rovaniemi. I also live in Ullanlinna, and I can confirm, there is a massive amount of filthy rich Swedish-Finns there, outside of the Western coast, which is Swedish-Finnish area, it might be the place I have personally heard the most Finnish-Swedish being spoken regularly Also remember, these are all mostly just jokes that we use to make fun of each other to make life more interesting. Ofc there are the few odd ones (basically neo-nazis) out who don't realize they are just harmless jokes not meant to insult anyone, and then go bashing heads over these things, but that's humanity for you. This is also why everyone was so quiet when it came to Lahti and the jokes about Nurmo, etc... ;P pps. Finns don't actually know most those English/Swedish region names at all, since we always use only the Finnish ones in most of Finland, and in most cases they are nothing alike. People usually only know the most common ones, and their own region's name. But if you'd for example ask a Finn from Lapland, in which country Ostrobothnia is, they'd most likely guess Sweden xD. So it is a bit stupid for them to translate them to begin with, since only Finns use them, and those are not the names we refer to them with 🧐
I was once in Savo and my car broke so I had to take it to the local car repair shop. After it was fixed I asked paljonko olen velkaa (paljonko olen velkaa in finnish may mean either how much I'm in debt or how much I owe) and the repair guy watching me silently for moment finally responded "I don't know how much your debt is".
3:21 It's mostly due the savonian finnish dialect and how savonians use finnish. Lot of expressions like 'it might be (or not)' hence savonians get their reputation of not being very direct talkers.😅
"...savonians get their reputation of not being very direct talkers". And the "understatement of the year"- award goes to the previous speaker 😄 Savonians are the like of people, who follow you in the airport thru the revolving doors - and come out first on the other side. So twisted are they.
Im from Kuopio, born and raised. Its the capital of Savo area and we have the dialect of Savo too how we speak. Og savo people have this dialect even deeper than some of the younger ones. Ilari is doing awesome job to bring out this old school savo dialect for sure :D The original Savo dialect is of course not that strong anymore because of younger generations and well years go on and the original Savo dialect is dying with this.
Sorry my late comment but im from Tavastia. Ilari has loads of points in this one and is putting out those stereotypes very well, not offencive way but funny way and "bashing" himself at the end
About some of those tribes. The saying goes that when a Savonian speaks, it's up to the listener to make sense out of it. Here's a sketch about them-the Finland's most crooked tribe. The woman tries to find out, if the bus number 36 already went. The final answer is that "who can tell when there are all kind of threes and sixes": "Savolainen Bussipysäkillä NEW". Savomians are also known as laid back and humorous people. An artist from Savo. Juice was good with words: "Juice Leskinen - Jyrki boy". The Ostrobothnians are known as proud, brave, calm and dependable, but also violent, humorless and single-minded. The region is known for its knife making tradition and famous villages like Koskenkorva: "Koskenkorva - Vodka from a Village". You might already have watched this Kummeli sketch about them: "Kummeli - Puukkojunkkarit". Here's a trailer for a historical drama about the 1800s Ostrobothnian, which was particularly violent era in Finalnd: "Härmä Elokuvan Traileri (2012) - Official Movie Trailer [HD]". A song about loving Ostrobothnia and hating everything different: "Klamydia - Pohjanmaalla". Couple of world famous Ostrobothnians: "Dudesons In America - Official Trailer [HD]". Moving to Tavastians; this one is a scene from one of the most popular Finnish comedy series from the 80s called 'Reinikainen'. Reinikainen is a police officer. The scene is from the first episode, in which he has just moved from the country side to Tampere city. When he went to greet his new colleagues in civilian clothes, they accidentally threw him into the drunk tank. Now a social worker has come to interview him about his drinking problem: "Reinikainen Charms a Social Worker (comedy, English subtitles)". Another writer of the show was an Englishman called Neil Hardwick, who moved to Finland and made a career here: "Hello Hello Hello 07", "Neil Hardwick, Michael Palin, ja Lasse Lehtinen saunassa (1989)" and "A Tale of Two Countries - Neil Hardwick". A local band: "melodikakofoniko Eppu Normaali - Kitara, taivas ja tähdet". A Finland Swedish comedian: "André Wickström. Stand-Up Comedy in English". Here are couple of Karelian songs. The latter has a Wiki article about it: "Karjalan poikia [Sanat] + [English translation] Finnish Polka" and "Finnish Folk Song - Säkkijärven polkka". A couple of more recent releases: "Kotiteollisuus - Kummitusjuna" and "STAM1NA - Valtiaan uudet vaateet".
I'm savonian dude and i always find this funny on many ways, mostly cause that's just what we are in our language and different ways... Finnish people are just weird and we are proud of that😁
Ostrobothnia is Finnish counterpart to the Bible Belt in the US except that people in Ostrobothnia seem to prefer knifes instead of guns plus Greco-Roman wrestling.
Like Swedish Per Brahe told his memorials that Central Finland people have mental issues. *including Tampere*. Try to help Central Finland get better. Well kinda helps it. Anyway he was honored guy in Finland, matter does he liked people or not.
These are basically stereotypes about different tribes in Finland. Personally I don't really indentify. I have lived most of my life at Helsinki Area, my parents are from central Finland and example my mom's parents are from Häme and Carelia, so I guess influences everywhere 😂
This guy really has the regional stereotypes down well. As half Ostrobotnian and half Tavastian... I am indeed a slow guy with a bad temper. So not that bad. If you insult me, you have plenty of time to run away before I figure it out.
So fun fact eastern finish are genetically further from western finish people than english and french people are from each other. Learned that from history class.
Im savonian/karelian from other side, tracing to 1400's, north bothnia/southern lapland from other side, linguistically no real differences due to history (swedes used to force-move folks from karelia and savonia to the north, thus Meänkieli in sweden) but in general way, my savo karelian friends and grandparents are much more laid back, just shoot shit and hang out type of folks, you dont want to anger them tho, it is hard to do that and you really have to push it, north bothnians are more fiery, short in words and emotion, still quite more humorous than the cultural 70% of dry tavastians and jäämi :D
Southern Ostrobohnia is known for its knife culture, Finland had it's own wild west in the 1800s with the knife junkers, kind of lawles state the Russians could not contain, they had a few fire arms, but their main thing extortion and intimitation, they would barge into venues like weddings, markets, courts, and take hostages/stab an influential persion, they controlled close to all trade for a decade or so.
So THAT'S why my colleagues from Joensuu have that familiar-ish accent. It's not the same, but every once in a while I'm like "hey, that sounded like my relatives in Tornionjokilaakso". Sometimes they even have that "hoon päältä" (I don't even try to explain this to non-Finnish speakers 😂) thing with some words.
@@javel114 I always get a warm feeling somewhere inside when I hear some speaking that (or pretty much any Lappish accent). Spent a long weekend in Marjosaari this summer after a long break visiting there. There's just some magic up there ❤️
We don't have a place there anymore, when I was young we had a cottage by the river, it was gorgeous. Our farmstead, I think it can be called that, with it having 7 buildings and a little bit of land to the side in Savonia is superb, but I would like to visit Wooded Lapland again.
People from Ostrobothnia are a humor people but you shouldn't annoy them. They are very conservative. They are the ones who had to be tied to trees in the winter war so that they wouldn't attack the Russians before their time. They defend their own ones and Finnish culture. People from Turku are always mocked for being simple. Helsinki people seems to be arrogant. Those from Häme are slow in everything, and in Lapland they have Sami people with national costumes, which makes them walk so funny. At least that's what I understood. In Eastern Finland, people are more understanding towards the Russians, because they have had more contact with them because of the common border. In western Finland and on the coast, again, warms up more to the Swedes. The majority of Finnish-Swedes also live here. Finnish-Swedes are considered rich due to history, because during Swedish rule, they were able to get better jobs and earn better money compared to other Finns due to their language skills. In Tampere: they speak funny but most of these days peoples in there are actually all over Finland. So it is very mixed place. So these are the stereotypes for my opinion.
Well, savo, most genuin and honest nation on the face of earth i would say, but i am ftom savo snyway. Savo really begins from lapinlahti and ends in sukeva. So, Kuopio is hardly savo anyway.
Finns are suggesting very "inside jokey" things.😅 Laittakaa jotain sellaisia ehdotuksia, jotka hän voisi kanssa ymmärtää? Tätä on ehkä vähän hassu katsoa, kun hän on ihan clueless...😂
1920 until 1930 in lapua there were very right wing people and they ”muilutti” beetup and almost kill left wing peolpe. It was could lapuan liike lapuas movement
I don't think it's completely accurate. A lot has been exattered to made it more comedic. People from Savo does give a straigh answer, people from other regions are just too stupid to understand that they were given an answer. Not all people from Turku are stupid (in fact the oldest university is in Turku), not all people from Ostrobothnia likes to wrestle, people from Vantaa are not poor compared to rest of the country (only compared to their Helsinki neighbours), and not all Finnland-swedes are rich. Karelian people do like to talk however, so there is a kernel of truth there. 😉
If you missed, he has a swedish finnish name and is originally from the capital of Savo, Kuopio. Two of the groups he made most fun of.
The stereotypes Ilari was referring to:
Lahti (city): criminals you don't want to be associated with
Turku (city): essentially dumb people
Savo (region, cities f.e. Pieksämäki and Kuopio): hard to understand socially, don't give straight answers to questions
Ostrobothnia (region, cities f.e. Nurmo and Seinäjoki): grumpy and old-fashioned people, they also wrestle a lot hence the jokes about it
Lappi (region): isolated people who get their income by jobs like reindeer farming
Vantaa (city): poor
Finn-Swedes (people): wealthy and posh "sissies" (Vi har kommit and Akta din eget liv are swedish sentences. Marco Bjuström is a finn-swede tv-host and media personnel)
Karelian (region): socially quick
Tavastia (region): socially slow
And these are only stereotypes (so any Finn reading this far, don't take it personally, you've heard of them too!)
Savo includes also Iisalmi city and other smaller ones around. Good points still @Jampula6352. Terveisiä Mualiman navasta :D
Additional context for Finn-Swedes: Finland used to be under Swedish rule and the land was treated as a military buffer against attacks from the east and the people were used for basically production, to leech taxes from and as soldiers, just a few hundred years back and there's still a large number of Swedish speakers because of it. Finnish people were treated like commoners, with Swedish being the language spoken and used by governing bodies, about half the taxes being sent straight to Sweden and with most fishing rights getting taken from the Finnish and given to the Swedish.
They are also on average more wealthy than average, thanks to many of the Finn-Swede families having a background as traders, politicians and other positions of power, which isn't exactly how they are now, but due to generational wealth and Finn-Swede communities being oddly tightly connected communities, some average difference still exists. And while the difference isn't actually that large on average, Finn-Swedes represent about 2/3's of "the Finnish nobility" or "old money" as wikipedia puts it, adding to the wealthy and posh stereotyping.
That bad history, on top of the average difference in wealth and the old money, is amplified by the mandatory Swedish classes in high-school. The population of Finn-Swedes consists of about 300 000. Being forced to study the language isn't helping matters, as most people will never need, because of around 5.2~% of the population, who are mostly in their own communities.

I won't go deeper than that, there's quite a bit of history there understandably, but I find it very interesting. Usually minority groups have been the ones under significant political, economical and social scrutiny, so having such a rare "opposite" situation is something I'm a bit fascinated by. The "sissy" part is just Finnish making fun of how Swedish is often spoken flamboyantly.

Accurate. Tavastia here. Born half-Karelian, half-Ostrobothnian... So I am basically f*kd
I'm a Savonian and that's exactly how people there are like :D
Same
Savo people tend to be easy going, witty with their language, joksters, pranksters, avoiding responsibility, avoiding simple yes or no answers..(it may or may not be)...that's the common idea anyways...From Savo.
@@ansqbansq2120 that is good example at savo people (i have live in north of savo 35 years)
Ostrobothnia is like the Texas of Finland. People are very conservative there and perhaps more intolerant than average. Wrestling is their ”national sport”.

This is the most oddly specific reaction channel I've ever seen and me being a born and raised Finnish person, I love it.

He traveled with a tv-crew, making investigative journalism, interviews ( and wore an instantly recognizable massive fur hat he become known for) to raise domestic awareness to the situation and to get things fixed.

@@javel114 I always get a warm feeling somewhere inside when I hear some speaking that (or pretty much any Lappish accent). Spent a long weekend in Marjosaari this summer after a long break visiting there. There's just some magic up there ❤️
We don't have a place there anymore, when I was young we had a cottage by the river, it was gorgeous. Our farmstead, I think it can be called that, with it having 7 buildings and a little bit of land to the side in Savonia is superb, but I would like to visit Wooded Lapland again.
This is his only joke ...
People from Ostrobothnia are a humor people but you shouldn't annoy them. They are very conservative. They are the ones who had to be tied to trees in the winter war so that they wouldn't attack the Russians before their time. They defend their own ones and Finnish culture.
People from Turku are always mocked for being simple.
Helsinki people seems to be arrogant. Those from Häme are slow in everything, and in Lapland they have Sami people with national costumes, which makes them walk so funny. At least that's what I understood.
In Eastern Finland, people are more understanding towards the Russians, because they have had more contact with them because of the common border. In western Finland and on the coast, again, warms up more to the Swedes. The majority of Finnish-Swedes also live here. Finnish-Swedes are considered rich due to history, because during Swedish rule, they were able to get better jobs and earn better money compared to other Finns due to their language skills.
In Tampere: they speak funny but most of these days peoples in there are actually all over Finland. So it is very mixed place.
So these are the stereotypes for my opinion.
Well, savo, most genuin and honest nation on the face of earth i would say, but i am ftom savo snyway. Savo really begins from lapinlahti and ends in sukeva. So, Kuopio is hardly savo anyway.
Finns are suggesting very "inside jokey" things.😅 Laittakaa jotain sellaisia ehdotuksia, jotka hän voisi kanssa ymmärtää? Tätä on ehkä vähän hassu katsoa, kun hän on ihan clueless...😂
1920 until 1930 in lapua there were very right wing people and they ”muilutti” beetup and almost kill left wing peolpe. It was could lapuan liike lapuas movement
I don't think it's completely accurate. A lot has been exattered to made it more comedic.
People from Savo does give a straigh answer, people from other regions are just too stupid to understand that they were given an answer.
Not all people from Turku are stupid (in fact the oldest university is in Turku), not all people from Ostrobothnia likes to wrestle, people from Vantaa are not poor compared to rest of the country (only compared to their Helsinki neighbours), and not all Finnland-swedes are rich.
Karelian people do like to talk however, so there is a kernel of truth there. 😉
Nothing is funny here, exept failure on stage.
