Conan actually is HUGE here in Finland lol
why though lol
Self-irony is a big thing, but yeah the Late Night With Conan O'Brien was basically the first and cheapest show. We had Oprah, but Dr. Phil was actually more popular here.
I don't know, self-irony and helping individuals is more of our thing. Us Finns are most helpful people there are. As a nerd I like to help some newbies"noobs" or new players to get them started, it doesn't take any of my time and they basically just stand there in games.
I don't speak for all, but I like to help people. If I have an opportunity to help someone I usually take it.
I have to say I hate the mass immigration though, that doesn't remove the problems it just moves them.
+John Pruden Our president at that time looked just like him, Tarja Halonen. So, we invited him to Finland. There is somewhere a video about it...somewhere in the darkness.
are you all short? i didnt know the finish were midgets
What? What gave you the idea we Finns are short?? :D And btw I think average height in Finland is pretty high, compared to the rest of the World. Or were you just joking... Bc I didn't get it.
I'm from Denmark and this was beyond hysterically funny, the fact aside that vikings didn't wear horned helmets (that myth comes from a Wagner opera as far as I'm informed). But the whole raping hats bit made me cry with laughter. "Why are you taking your raping hat? - No reason...."
+Dennis Stuhr
I thought it was a much older myth than that. I can't remember what source I got it from but I was lead to believe it was invented by western europeans at the time because they wanted people to associate vikings with demons.
+Dennis Stuhr It's actually kind of sad to hear such a smart man as Gervais talk about those horned helmets.... but the show in general made me forget that factoid pretty quick =)
+gary wood The horned viking helmet came from the artwork for the aforementioned opera, as well as the myth about vikings wearing loincloths. Both almost equally ridiculous.
+MrHankTango - Nah... He may very well know that the 'horned' hats are a myth and inaccurate - while still using it in his skit, since it's the stereotype of the viking (that 99% believe).
+grytlappar I don't think that 99% believe that, It's a trademark for toys and movies and people are probably well informed that It's not true
We scandinavians never get offended. Only if a Danish says something to a Swede and etc, then we get offended.
+Honken Holmqvist Lie, Swedes get offended by everything involving immigration talk.
+Peter Jörgenson (LemonBird) We might be devils, but at least we are not Swedes .... :P
+Honken Holmqvist What did the Danish say to the Swede? IDK everyone died..
+Honken Holmqvist
It's one of the most ironic thing that Swedes are impossible to offend when it comes to offending their culture but as fast as you make the slightest digression when it comes to ethnicity, migration, gender and all the other buzz topics we are the most easily offended people in the world.
See, pussies
Ricky is hands down one of the funniest guys on the planet.
Him and Dave chapelle
@@lucasgroubert Yeah I love Dave too.
And Norm Macdonald!!!!!
Dont forget Norm :-)
Bill burr also amazing
And Karl pilkington
Scandinavia = Norway + Denmark + Sweden due to our comon history with a shared monarch familiy and dialects.
The Nordic countries include Finland + Iceland and dates back to the KalmarUnion which lasted about 120 years from ca 1400.
Wrong, worng, wrong...
No....Use google translate (if you are not from scandinavia) and look at these two wikipedia sites for reference:
no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skandinavia
no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norden
Jørgen Skår Fischer By the way, I've always wondered why Finland was never part of Scandinavia, you have any idea? The only information I can find on the subject consists pretty much only of forum-posts and people spouting opinions, but nothing really concrete.
Jävla Finländare. Komplicerat folk.
I can't refer to any sources, so I will be just as good as the rest of them, but in my opinion as a Norwegian there are two main reasons. Geographically they are (for the most part except far north) separated from the rest by a large ocean. Their language does not originate from the same origin meaning the people originates from different places.
In the northern parts of sweeden, Norway and Finland the bloodlines are more intertwined and the languages spoken by the native people more similar (sami)
Denmark is also separated, but trade has always been better because they were more connected with the continent, thus they could provide better goods.
Norway has always been the poorest of the Scandinavian countries until post ww2 erea.
true. quite accurate, although "scandinavia" is not defined by geography, but by the three countries of norway, denmark and sweden, (exactly because of what you so beautifully wrote) which is why finland has not been scandinavian since the creation of the grand duchy of finland under russia.
let me just quote wikipedia here, for any who will seek to claim otherwise "Skandinavia er tradisjonelt et begrep for den geografiske regionen som utgjøres av de tre monarkiene Danmark, Norge og Sverige."
"I don't know why you'd be here, if you're a big star in Finland..." Fantastic!
We Norwegians absolutely love Gervais and British humour in general!
Ricky Gervais mentions Scandinavia, and Conan instantly starts talking about a country not in Scandinavia.
+Eivind Nordengen I know! When I lived in England I had to inform people that Finland was not part of Scandinavia... the worst part was that no one believed me until my Finish room mate confirmed this information.
+Eivind Nordengen
Why are people so Asberger about that silly definition? What about the 700 years Finland was part of Sweden, just like Norrland, was it part of Scandinavia then? We still regard Stockholm as Scandinavian, don't we, despite not being a part of Skanderna (the mountain ranges).
And what about Denmark, it also has nothing to do with Skanderna and is not even considered "Scandinavia" in countries like Germany and Holland.
Sven Ekeberg Using someone's disorder to "insult" people is not cool. It's really low and immature.
Also Finland has not been part of Sweden for over 200 years. This is 2016.
And my German and Dutch friends know what Scandinavia is, and if they didn't... who cares what people in Germany and Holland think? They're not Scandinavians.
stiras1
It's you calling it a "disorder", I used it to describe a basic personality trait. The fact that it is 2016 or that 200 years has passed is rather irrelevant, at least if you understood my point. Large areas of what you call Scandinavia (such as Stockholm or Köpenhamn) has about as little, or as much, to do with the origin of the name as Finland has. The distinction is synthetic.
In England and UK, Island/Iceland is often considered Scandinavian, due to it's Norwegian background and cultural ties. Denmark is usually included, but not always (although more often than in Germany).
Many cultural concepts are floating or changing in usage. (Yes, Scandinavia is as much about culture as it is about geography.) You and I argue about this, other people argue over whether some part of Turkey or Russina should be considered European or Asian, or both, and so on. My point is that there is no definitive answers. Those militant attempts of exact _borderline_ definitions are seldom natural, but political, often in an attempt to make people forget about their actual history. Some Germans, Dutch or English people may not have gone through the same brainwash as you, so why be so arrogant about what they say?
Sven Ekeberg It is a disorder not a personality trait, and using it in such a context implies that it's bad which is an insult to people who actually do have Asperger.
I have not been brainwashed, I just know what countries are in Scandinavia. People who think Finland is part of it are not brainwashed just ignorant or too stubborn to accept things as they are. You can argue all you want about how Finland "should" be seen as part as Scandinavia, but it doesn't change the fact that it's not.
am from sweden, saw ricky gervais at one of these shows :) it was amazing
I loved the jokes. But here is some knowledge and that's always cool!
Vikings couldn't legally rape free women. SUcks for slaves yes it's true. But considering how the rest of the world raped the shit out of women cause they thought we were less than nothing, Id say viking women had it pretty good. They could also vote, divorce their husbands (which was very shameful for the men if their wives left them) and they could own land! :)
Also most things we know about Vikings came from Christians and we all know how they bullshit. Kill or convert, that was their motto.
+Ladi Smith Well, not just that, Vikings were pagans, Christians had a good reason to spread misinformation about them.
dude, Ricky said that Vikings raped women all across Europe, namely the countries they conquered, e.g. the British Isles, France, Southern Italy etc. He didn't say they raped Viking women of course
Dionys84
totally. btu I'm just saying he made it sound like the christian men weren't doing that too. Like literally the bible tells women to fuck their husbands even if they don't want to - that is hella rape.
+Ladi Smith He makes fun of christians a lot too. He is a pure atheist.
camilledumeige3
Yeah Iknow. I'm not offended, not a believer in the Norse gods. I just thought I'd share some cool facts :)
British humor has always been loved in Sweden !
I love how reluctant Conan is to say the word 'rape'. Even when he uses it he's really careful to specify the 'in your words' part.
In the very near future, the word "rape" will probably be renamed to "The R-word".
Just like we already have "the N-word", "the C-word", "the other C-word", and so on. Soon we won't be allowed to pronounce any words, only refer to them by letter and number.
That´s because the 1st amendment doesn´t apply to ad-financed media. Freedom of speech comes at a cost.
@@Tjalve70 What’s “the other c-word”?
I'm a little offended that he claims to have toured "all over scandinavia" when he infact only visited Sweden and Norway. I know we're a relatively small country who hasn't been superrelevant on a global scale since the viking age but we danes still exists. Hi please notice us. We're that thing growing out of germany and blocking the seaway to sweden
Arvid Duekilde Ah thats cute :) Hey från Sverige
Henrik högberg Vi er bare bedst til fodbold ;) ham Zlatan kan ingenting jo.... :P
Vrig Så er du jo næsten min nabo:) jeg er fra Amager
thesatanic6 far from every dane speaks with an accent. But you're right there's a lot of the danish language which doesn't make a lot of sense unless you grew up with it however "mure mester" is a very poor example of that as it literally just means "master builder"
thesatanic6 wut?
I keep coming back to this clip where Ricky says "They speak perfect english" (paraphrasing) - PLEASE OTHER COMICS; COME HERE! Do your worst! We can take it, we want it, we NEED IT!!
Well, technically speaking, Scandinavia has a higher percent of English speakers than Canada. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Swedish was never classified as the main language of Sweden until the late 90s.
Yep, I geeked out.
It actually didn't become the official main language until 2009
kalyxen ah.
what the hell are you talking about? Im swedish, I speak swedish, so does my parents & grandparents..been doing that for many many generations! My parents speak english, not that well but still..they learned it at school, as I did. However, my grandparents do not speak english - they are too old - they never learned in school in the way we did..
tillsatt50 not quite sure what your point is, buddy...
I thought you were saying that we speak english in sweden, and not swedish...
Kudos to everyone commenting on this. Never have I seen a sober and constructive tone be sustained for so long. I guess fans of Ricky Gervais are generally respectable people ❤️
what in hælvette?!
is he meiking fun åf our hjelmer?!
+Glufius latter ut loud!
IKKEEEAAAAA!!!!!
He is klarly melking viewership of åour kultur!
jävligt förvirrad om du faktiskt är svensk/dansk/norsk och fuckar runt eller om du inte ens är från norden och försöker dra en rolig kommentar
Well you tried at least
Conan is a big star in Finland! Cheers from Finland!
I don't know why, but I love when people make fun of me and my culture... Just me? Okay
Nah, I like to hear new jokes too =) I don't get offended at all
But I like to rattle scandinavians hat by saying Finland is part of scandinavia... Lol that hate fuels me for awhile =D
Try being british in America I get roasted by men but loved by woman, thanks Queen Elizabeth and tea!
Notice how terrified Conan is of saying the word "Rape" or "Rapist"
+Abe Grimm I don't know if terrified is the right word, but it's not a good word. To rape is to force yourself on a woman who does not want to bear your seed, or child. How would you feel if your family member was raped? Good? OK? It's not a good word for not a good act - it's fitting.
+Abe Grimm Americans are really prudish
+Arrow V2 Just because it's a horrible thing doesn't mean you can't say it. If it exists we should be able to talk about it. If you're more disgusted of a joke or just saying the word of something that DOES EXIST, then how about you start getting a bit more offended about the fact that IT IS A REAL THING THAT HAPPENS, rather than literally ONLY SAYING A FUCKING WORD!!
Oh, and since when can only women be raped?
You sort of disgust me.
+Abe Grimm I totally noticed that too. He was so self-aware it was uncomfortable to watch. It was like, "One false move here and that's my career down the toilet!"
For a nation dripping with porn, violence and crime, it's astonishing how prudish Americans can be. Those puritan roots seem still to be embedded.
Thank God us Europeans don't have that problem. :D
+Cloud Cuckoo It's not a puritanical thing it's more of a fear of social justice warriors who will skewer him if he engages in "rape jokes". Ricky Gervais is one of the few comedians who simply doesn't give a fuck if people are offended, so they can't touch him. Conan, being beholden to a television station, doesn't have that luxury.
He's a great comedy creator. I wish he would do a stand-up here and there.
Finland is not scandinavian conana
+ciawarhater Yes it is
mrpotatoguy1 no it's not
+mrpotatoguy1 Scandinavia = Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Source: I'm Norwegian, also google it.
Yeah you're right. My bad :)
+ciawarhater Wtf is a "conana"?
I was in tears and then the understated closer at the end, "it was a long time ago, we laughed about it." was the icing on the cake.
I'm sure there is a bit of viking in the british gene pool
well.. yeah. since the vikings plundered and raped them...
RahiraTheSwed Makes a change from us (the English) doing it to someone else :-p
Yeah but the British didn't wear cool hats when they were raping.
a bit? ive met blonde british girls they look exactly like a viking woman, there has to be viking genes in england obviously, back in a time there was even a viking king in england for a few years, soo yeah...
I know for a fact, that there is about one million people in England, who decent from danish vikings.
The danish viking-king Harald ruled the land back then...
I was at his show in Gothenburg this December, and the rape-hat jokes brought down the house! We're not necessarily proud of the things our ancestors did, but we are proud to come from a strong and non-bullshit-taking tradition! Vikings rule
You sound like a snowflake
Denmark, Sweden and Norway is what I consider Scandinavia. Nordic countries: Scandinavia + Finland, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Greenland isnt even a part of europe or the nordic, otherwise you're right
LMS
Geographically, no. Culturally, yes.
CheDonJohn
Greenland? No way. Greenland is inhabited by Inuits, not decedents from Scandinavia.
Kristian Jörgensen
But there is more to 'culture' than just race/ethnicity. There is language, customs, institutions, the state (its composition and structure), etc. - all things that supersede ethnicity, and all things that are inherited by it's parent state (which, in Greenland's case, is of course the Scandinavian country of Denmark).
Think of it like England in the 11th Century - inhabited overwhelmingly by Anglo-Saxons (with a few Norse and Celtics, too), yet it was a Norman country, run by Normans with Norman institutions and a Norman state.
CheDonJohn The fact that India and Egypt where English colonies does not make their cultures English, even back when they where colonies.
The official language in Greenland is Kalaallisut, not Danish, and although they belong to the Danish crown they are a self-governing country.
Haven't seen comedy from Ricky in a hot minute - made me crack up as usual! Genious that man is!
That was an epic quickback and made me laugh so hard I spilled my tea through my nose.
As a swede I can confirm, we are generally very good at understanding and writing English.. One thing that we aren't good at (or at least worse at) is speaking English without an awful Swedish accent. That accent is slowly disappearing though and more people are learning proper English pronunciation
howaboutthatsuckah The accents are all part of the charm, I like the way parts of the world add their own tinge to English speech, especially around Europe. It'd be boring if we all had the same pronunciation. Hell, if people can understand you, that's good enough. An accent is something you gain or lose naturally depending on your environment, so I guess losing your Swedish accent will occur organically as you use English more frequently.
Christie Ryan I guess you're right man, I do like almost every other accent of English except the Swedish one.
I guess it has to do with me knowing the Swedish language so well that I can't help but feel as if someone is trying to speak Swedish with English words which makes it harder to focus on the content rather than just how it sounds.. I hope that made sense hahah
howaboutthatsuckah Meh, atleast the swedish accent is better than our norwegian :P Just check out Petter Solberg ^^
howaboutthatsuckah only dum people have that "swedish accent"
+howaboutthatsuckah I'm from Finland and we are the same...
Finland mentioned.
Torille! PERKELE!
+Finnlander
Kun Conan on paikalla niin suomi tulee usein mainittua. :D
+Finnlander Eiku saunaan SAATANA! xD
+Finnlander Poika saunoo!
I would love to see him live...he should come to Croatia...since in most of Europe there is no language barrier he could easily fill arenas in every country.
Both of these guys should do a tour together, they are brilliant.
Finland is not a part of scandinavia
wonder if finland was still a part of sweden, would it be a part of scandinavia too?
LMS Then it wouldn't be Finland. it would be Sweden
Actually, Northern Finland is part of scandinavia, so we often just count all of Finland as part of it
that joke at 2:30 is fucking hilarious ;)
Love the guy.. A realistic celebrity, nice to see
Hahahaha such a great video!! Both of these men are cool!
Scandinavia is the name of the three kingdoms Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Iceland and Finland are NOT part of scandinavia!! //Swede
Iceland was settled in medieval times, mainly by Norwegian people.
Iceland was brought under Norwegian rule around 1262. This lasted until the Kalmar Union in 1380, which united the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway (with Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Shetland and Orkney), and Sweden (including some of Finland) under a single monarch.
@@rufeilrahtieh7885 still not scandinavia
"Thousands of years ago", yeah, more like 900 years ago...
It was over a thousand years ago. They began around 750 AD.
@@AmazinglyGayPhil the era ended 900 years ago, dummy dum dum
Swedish Vikings were actually pillaging to the east, Russia, Estonia, Poland etc. It was the Danish and Norweigan Vikings that went to England.
+William Öhman You are both wrong im afraid. Swedes went both east & west and was certaintainly not more peaceful then the rest.
+Xylvion91 Wrong. Many Swedish/Geatish runestones from that era mentions voyages to England. They did however not go west on the same level as the Danes and Norwegians did. One must bare in mind that our countries did not look the way back then as they do now. Chieftains travelled all over to get support from people. And that was not geographically restricted. There were no lines in the sand.
+Odin the Wanderer You're all wrong. A viking is a type of fairy in Irish folklore. It is usually depicted as a little bearded man, wearing a coat and hat, who partakes in mischief. They are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
English people were actually saxonies from east Germany.
I was actually there in the Swedish megadome, Rickey was brilliant, as always. :)
I'm Scandinavian and I'm suprised the americans haven't demanded reperations for what we did to their european ancestors!!! XD
The Vikings where not pillaging in America as America hadn't been discovered yet.
And there where no Europeans living in America until 600 years later.
Also, many Americans aswell as the British people are themselves descendants of Scandinavians, as many of the raiders stayed in the countries they went to and formed new kingdoms.
@@rovhalt6650 /woosh
They're both great comedians 😂👌👏
6-9 years of study + no subtitles = swedes know english.
minus 3 years of study? hehehe i'm just gonna go away with my stupid danish humor :P
Sven-Bertil Tååbe Nowadays first graders are taught english :)
Sven-Bertil Tååbe In Norway, we learn English from first to eleventh grade, sometimes longer...
all you dudes are so awesome
I Norge er det 10-13 😆
Comedians and some actors always make conan awesome
The way Ricky tells it is just as good as the joke itself.
The viking's never whore the horned helmets
Nil C. see the pun i did there?
nope :( Am I a whore?
Exactly, it's weird that the whole world likes to believe that they WORE horned helmets. Those type of helmets were worn by a small tribe that lived and extinct many centuries before the Vikings first appeared. Check your history sources, everyone!!!!
Diego Zlatina Zheynova finally someone who got the pun
Diego Zlatina Zheynova Okay i made a stupid mistake. I mixed this video together with another. The whore joke doesn't make any sense on this video. I'm just an idiot
I wish Conan gets 2 more million subscribers. He deserves the diamond award.
I wish RG had responded to the question about how well Scandinavians speak English with the retort, 'Better than most Americans.' because its true.
Actually as a Scandinavian it is a bit tiring how British people always have to make fun of the raping and pillaging. It is like every time you meet a brit they are going to crack some joke about that. I guess it is like Germans might get tired of all the Nazi jokes after a while.
It isn't to be party pooper, but it is slightly annoying when you know Viking culture was so much more. Vikings were big on trade and exploration. Vikings had well developed legal system, a lot of gender equality, pretty progressive laws regarding crime and punishment. And for being such a poor and small society the Vikings had an amazingly well developed literary tradition.
I'll give kudos to the Irish though. They often seem amazingly well informed on Vikings though and don't have quite the British cartoon view of Vikings.
+Povel Vieregg British humour. Most of us know that the Viking culture was obviously so much more than rape, but British people in general are slightly shy and use humour as a social lubricant. Taking the piss this way is normal, please don't take it personally.
+Povel Vieregg Oh yes. What a drag. But so much relaxing than to hear stories about Europeans getting raped by Africans.
***** Not the kind of chap too good at reading nuances are you? "Tired of" isn't the same thing as offended. Read what I wrote. Do find the same joke equally funny every time you hear it or does it get a tiring after you have heard the same joke for the 100th time? You are making this into a bigger deal than it is.
+Povel Vieregg there was no raping.. the brits are just mad that their women piled up with their legs wide open for the tall, handsome vikings.. the vikings were not violent, except if they were attacked, which did happen..
Remember this when you generalize us murican folk like all European citizens do so easily it sucks when the worst of yourbpast is constantly shoved in ur face.....negative bias aside (yes humans possess such a shitty thing) its still something we can control
Actually it's a rather common misconception that the vikings wore horned helmets. They also didn't pillage that much, other than the occasional war and such when expanding. They were actually pretty good traders that traveled the waters all the way down to the Mediterranean sea and adjacent countries.
its a very modern misconception that vikings did not pillage that much. Because they did. A lot. You know they sacked paris.. twice.. yes? They tried to attack Istanbul three times. Istanbul is not exactly close to scandinavia.
Pasan Etternavn *Constantinopole, not Istambul
Did they pillage? Yes. But in actuality an English knight was probably more likely to be a rapist than a Viking. There are many accounts of knights kidnapping a woman and “forcing a marriage”. On the Viking side we have several accounts from English monks complaining about how the Scandinavian men constantly groomed themselves and how they seduced English women. The whole Vikings being particularly rapey thing was likely either medieval propaganda, or made up by Victorians (like the horned helmets and a whole lot of other stuff)
It depends what country. Denmark were more the warring type. Swedes mainly traded. And Norwegians explored mostly, so it was mix of war vs exploration, which also explains Iceland
Jag älskar Ricky. :)
Ricky, we love you! Sincerely -Sweden.
"why are you here if you're famous in Finalnad?" HAHAHA :) oh you are funny RIcky!!
"Raping hat." 😂😂😂😂
one of my favourite crossovers
I swear Conan takes things so literally.
Why does he mentioned Finland? It's not part of Scandinavia.
Yes. Yes, it is...
RustenKokus No, It's not. Norway, Denmark and Sweden make up Scandinavia.
RustenKokus You're thinking of the "Nordic Countries". It's similar to how Great Britain doesn't involve Ireland but the British Isles does
Yeah, I guess that might be it :)
I live in Finland and there's only one thing that I'm jealous for the other Nordic countries.
Vikings.
I’m a Swede living in the US... I forgot my raping hat over there... so sad. 😔
The argument below is so adorable
More British comedians need to make an appearance in Conan's show. Both the host and the guest seem to have a good laugh and looks so much fun.
Conan and Jimmy Kimmel are decent talk show hosts. The only two American hosts I like and thoroughly enjoy watching their late night talk shows. .
judging from this comment section it seems the danish are suffering from some collective self esteem issues :D
My like a grand self-delusion. Wtf? XD Now, I'm Danish and I'm probably better acquainted with our more glorious history but, ugh, seriously, wow. It's like my Danish brethren just halfway heard something in a history class once and then has been freely interpreting on that ever since..
***** exactly, it is horrible, as a dane, to read all these ignorant comments. i have no more hair to pull out, after reading through the comment section in here :P
dwrization *hands over sword* go over there, take out your frustration on the English (or French or Turks or whatever) since we're doing Viking theme here anyway XD
numb1010 Yes most of us are incredibly annoying when it comes to that, on the internet.
Nah, we're just a proud people. Every time Denmark is mentioned we go crazy. And when Denmark is supposed to be mentioned and we're not? Again, we go crazy.
Finland isn't in Scandinavia
It seems to run in social circles. All my friends love Conan. All of them!
Well, it was over 1100 years ago so it's in the thousands.
I saw Ricky in the Globe Arena in Stockholm and it was amazing. Especially considering Doc Brown was the opener.
No Conan, vikings lived about exactly a thousand years ago, not thousandS :D
Haha! Actually the wikings did not had horn on their helmets.
no no, no raping hats. But we are sorry we raped you all. I´m really sorry.
gralegath Haha! What? Scandinavia was the home of the vikings. I live in Uppsala A lot of viking graves, runstones and boat graves here. In Denmark there was vikings but the vikingculture was bigger in sweden and norway.
Ok. I missunderstod you comment then. What i know the danish vikings mostly went to england to raid and trade. Norway to island, greenland and maybe america and the swedes to russia, france and germanic countrys. There are great famous vikings from all over scandinavia.
gjaddajg First of all my eng is poor. Haha! I know that sweden did not exist as a nation. I was simplifing things. It would be hard to describe geographically without doing that, The vikings themselves did not call them self neither danes or vikings. Sweon or Sweoland and Ghotia on the contrary did exist. Todays Svealand and Götaland in sweden. Denemearcan was Denmark, Thats facts from stories from 900 ad and writings on runstones..
Oh dear god. No, they came from Sweoland, Vendel an Gothia, wich is todays Sweden. I dont think the word scandinavia exist back then either. So what should we call their homeland? Can you speak norse? So you cant call people native americans? the word america was invented by europeans. But the word sweden was inveted by viking descendants.
This was so well written I had to thumb it up even though it made a fool of me. :)
He has the best laugh in the world!
lol "thousands of years ago"
finland isnt even in scandinavia
Where can I find this stand up in swe/nor? I really want to see it!
Google it? I'm sure some poor soul recorded it.
+Saga Östlund I have tried without success.
P Gúrrasson That's too bad, I would like to see it as well. Maybe try and search in Swedish? (google translate is your friend)
+Saga Östlund Jag ska göra mitt bästa ;) Tack för tipset!
Hahah, Denmark is a great country, I enjoyed my time there. Very friendly people.
1:58 Vikings never had horns on their helmets
Let the history nerds correct Ricky. Their just jokes.
* they're
Sorry grammar nerd.
Ricky is the man!
I was there in gothenburg. just awesome
Why did Conan mention Finland? It's not a part of Scandinavia, neither is Iceland. Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
"That was thousands of years ago"... No it was not.
Yeah this was not a really good history lesson.
Yes..!
Such a great "bit"... and when another comedian/entertainer is THAT tickled by it, you know the idea is a great and novel joke.
"sweet-talked the Swedes"? Scandinavia in general, right? Btw, in Vikings they brought so-called shield maidens once. Skjoldmø in Danish.
vikings didnt have horned helmets!!
Conan's reaction at 2:38 is priceless
did he just say finland was scandinavia omfg i thought he was from Harvard
Funny how conan does not know that finland is not part of Scandinavia
Pretty sure that even a lot of Scandinavians dont know that
Thanks, i'm a 13 year old girl from norway, and i (almost) speak and write "floating" english. We had a giant english test, thats kind of like an exsam but not that hard. And guess what! I got a 5 or a "B" on it!
I hope your English are still floating.
That english you got there is really floating sis

I'm Swedish and everybody here owns a raping hat. My mom borrowed my hat once, that was a bit odd ..
"I'm a huge star in Finland"
Totta vitussa, ukkoha o elävä vitsi :D
One of the most hilarious interviews I've ever seen Ricky do pmsl 🤣🤣🤣🤣 raping hat 😌😅🤣😆 JC I'm in stitches of laughter and it hurts so much 🤣🤣😫😅
samme her ;) jeg skulle bare lige forklare hvordan tingene fandt sted
viking helmets didn't have horns
*****
As far as I know there is no archeological evidence of horned helmets but I'm happy to be proven wrong if you can link me to your source. And to be fair the vikings also did a lot of farming, bartering and peaceful integration into cultures. Some old books from Turkey describe fierce looking white, painted men from the north coming to trade but they don't mention "raping and pillaging". Vikings may have used shock tactics because it was very profitable to have a city so scared of you that they kept paying you just to leave them alone. They were really scary sight (with or without horns in their helmets) and apparently very good in what they did as they are still mostly remembered for their savagery.
Finland is NOT a part of the Scandinavian countries.
Yes it is
No, it isn't. Finland is part of the Nordic countries. Not the Scandinavian.
Alexandro Hutt lol
Yes it is
Sandra Swede Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland are all Nordic countries
2:05 I can't believe he missed the opportunity to say "horny"!
Ahh man I laughed so hard.. love Ricky
We truly have lost our ways :( #spreadtheword #rapetheworld

Well.. there is a reason why the Scandinavian people are so beautiful. The vikings took all the beautiful women with them home and left the ones who weren't pretty enough.
what a stretch
IDDY GRAY Yeah ... I know :-). But I did read it in a history book.
:-)
Malene Bak And that automaticly makes it true, moron detected
It was a joke man, get over it!
2:35 Maybe that's why Viking Helmets (other than a few ceremonial ones) do NOT have horns...
Saw him in Stockholm! it was hilarious!
