    "God Jul" isnt a brand, it means "Merry Christmas". Those were christmas commercials by the cheese brands. Also, brown cheese and "yellow cheese" isnt brands either, theyre just types of cheese

    Just some comments:
    Norvegia means Norway in Latin. It's a Cheese brand. It's a mild yellow cheese and was formerly called Norwegian Gouda.
    God Jul is not a cheese brand. It just means Merry Christmas. Some products have a Christmas edition and they might be labeled with God Jul.
    The video with the 2 Irish leprechauns visiting their fellow Norwegian nisse (goblin or gnome in English) was in English because Norwegians speak English to foreigners to be polite. The nisse spoke with a heavy Norwegian accent. Our nisse is a creature similar to leprechauns in Ireland.
    The Norwegian word lett has a double meaning. It can mean easy, but it can also mean light like not heavy or low fat. The commercial made a joke about that. The cow wasn't heavy so the milkmaid could lift it. However the cheese was made of low fat milk.
    Synnøve Finden is a dairy producer using the milkmaid as their symbol. Synnøve is also a pretty common female name in Norway. So the commercial hinted one of the men thought he was accused of cheating with the other man's girlfriend Synnøve, but all he had done was stealing a few slices of the Synnøve cheese.
    The cheese slicer in the commercial was bent and probably not very efficient to use. This happens if you slice putting the force at an angle. The song played was "Aldri i livet" by Finn Kalvik. It participated for Norway in Eurovision Song Contest in 1981. It seemed better suited for the Norvegia commercial than the contest.
    The guy admitted to having kissed another woman when confronted by his girlfriend only to realize she was only angry because he had eaten up all the cheese again.

    The littleguy in a red hat is a Christmas goblin (called nisse). Very important in Norwegian Christas folk lore. There are Forest Nisse, Attick Nisse, Barn nisse and so on. They help out if you are kind to them, but can REALLY mess things up if angry. So we put out a bowl with porrage at Christmas for it...which off course gives all local cats diarrhea (but exciting for the kids).

    He did not kiss the cheese, he kissed someone when he was out last night! The conversation was not translated correctly, cause in Norway we have a word for a "partner/bf/gf you live with", Samboer (basically directly meaning Together(Sam)-Living(Boer)). But here it was translated to Roommate, which has a completely different meaning

    You should watch the Jarlsberg commercials as well, it's a whole series of them. The cheeses that said "God Jul" means Happy Juletide / Christmas. It's a Christmastversion of the cheeses, usually with some spices. Norvegia is the most popular cheese in Norway, then there is Jarlsberg and Synnøve. Named after Synnøve Finden (1882-1957) famous Norwegian cheese maker.

  • @asbjrnfossmo1589
    @asbjrnfossmo1589 16 часов назад

    The brown cheese, IMHO, is best enjoyed on a slice of bread (not white bread, but almost any other). Spread a thin layer of butter (the real stuff) on fresh, still warm whole wheat bread, then add a small amount of either syrup or your favorite jam (strawberry is my choice, but most will work), then slices of brown cheese to cover the bread slice in one layer.
    The traditional way of eating bread in Norway is with just the one slice of bread, skipping the top slice which would essentially make a sandwich. Although we do that too, especially with the British (or American) inspired grilled cheese.

    Brands sometimes make a series of commercials that air around the same time, which is why you get so many with similar themes.
    It's all to keep it more fun than getting the same thing every time while maintaining the current commercial branding.
    However, They change things up for the next batch of commercials to keep things fresh.

  • @IceTea1983

    Norvegia is my preferred cheese. But a close second is Jarlsberg. The Synnøve cheese commercial where the cartoon girl lifts a cow mistranslated, it was supposed to be Surprisingly Light (not Easy). Brunost is made from caramelized milk, and for the record God Jul means Merry Christmas, meaning it is a christmas edition not a brand.

    God Jul, means "Merry Christmas". The small beardy one by the kitchen counter is a Låvenisse..how can I translate this.. Barn santa( not santa but a a Nisse, mythical small people) a myth in Norwegian fairytales, this is the one who lives in the barn and take care of your livestock when you`re not there. you never sees him, only once in a while can hear noices and speculate why things has moved from one place to another 😉 You are supposed to bring him a bowl of porridge on Christmas eve, if not he will be angry and your livestock may become ill . Btw, that Synnøve commercial should have been translated to "surpricingly light(not easy) but light and easy is pronounced by the same word "lett" in norwegian.

  • @jarls5890
    @jarls5890 2 месяца назад +1

    Jul = Yule. "God Jul" = merry Christmas.
    However in the Nordics Christmas is not that closely aligned with Christianity as in e.g. the US. A lot of our Christmas celebration is still from "pagan times" (you will be hard pressed to find a "manger" display setup).
    The little bearded guy is the "Nisse" - a gnome. It was believed that on every farm such a creature lived in the barn and took care of the animals. This character "melded" with the continental Santa Claus (which was a Turkish saint) - to form the modern day "Julenisse" (Yule-gnome). This Julenisse is who will come visit on Christmas eve and give presents.
    There is also a tradition of putting out a bowl of porridge (in the US it is now transformed to "cookies for santa") on the night before Christmas eve. If he did not get his porridge he would get upset and could harm the animals.
    Just to put things in perspective - the Norwegian king Håkon the good - issued a law in the 900s (nine-hundred) sometime that all Norwegians had to celebrate Christmas in December and end the pagan tradition of celebrations of winter solstice - which was around 12th of January. I.e. Christmas celebrations has been going on for well over 1000 years!

    02:25 Norvegia and Jarlsberg are the two top contenders for most popular cheese, I believe Norvegia is probably more popular than Jarlsberg.
    06:18 God Jul = Merry Christmas
    09:28 I would say something about the commercials being in Norwegian or English, but I see more Norwegian commercials on this channel than I do in 10 years because I don't watch TV. As for the reason for why some - if not a lot, or even most? - commercials in Norway is in English, I guess it could simply be because 90%+ of Norwegian media is in English, that means music on the radio, series and movies on the TV, movies in the Cinema, and the games we play online, and more.
    13:40 The brand is Synnøve, Gulost is the name of the type of cheese. Synnøve is a brand that's been around since 1882, according to their website's "Our history," but only more recently (1996-2008) grew into becoming the only Norwegian Cheese contender to Tine Meieriet. They have, over the time, branched out into other fields like juice, yoghurt, knekkebrød, and skinke, but they are first and foremost a cheese producer, and have several types of cheeses to choose from.
