It used to be even more popular, I'd say the 80s and 90s Sweden reached peak comedy, since then it's been declining severely, but still some semblance of humor exists in Sweden to this day. I'd personally say that for pure comedy, the 90s humor group killinggänget made the best humor, it was over the top, and NileCity105,6 was the best humor show ever created. It spawned our greatest comedic talents, like Robert Gustafsson, Johan Rheborg, Henrik Schyffert... etc. And the best characters in Swedish TV History, such as the roles portrayed by Robert Gustafsson; Fred Asp and the ferret Göran, Greger Hawkwind... or Glenn Killing(Henrik Schyffert) or Percy Nilegård(Johan Rheborg)... Then we had the more surrealistic Galenskaparna och After Shave... And these days we have Grotesco, but still, I wouldn't say that anyone is as loved or appreciated as Robert Gustafsson is, after all he is our greatest Comedian, and a great singer. Other than that, we had Robert Broberg, a lyrical genius and a musical comedian before it really was popularized, I mean not the first one, as that's American Tom Lehrer, from which the term Tomfoolery comes from. I'd say that while we enjoy Satire in Sweden, I'd say our sense of humor has truly worsened with the years, however despite knowing the name of over 50 Swedish comedians, I'd say that our Comedy is lackluster, and while we used to have the world's darkest sense of humor, these days our sense of humor is borderline can't joke about anything, especially nothing that is inherently funny. But the true geniuses of Swedish entertainment, were Hasse Andersson and Tage Danielsson. And I guess most people born before the 80s would agree with that statement.
The lyrics took the diffcult task to actually make it rhyme, I think it would have been better to just be as faithful to the lyrics since non-swedes will still hear that in swedish it rhymes. However it makes so one can sing along in english.
I'm not gay, queer or anything but really straight. But everytime I hear some people giving really simple silly explanations to societal problems, I just respond -"Well it's all because of gay people!" It's the epitomy of silly stupid reasoning, and every halfwhit in Sweden knows this song.😄 Sadly, this song is like 10 or 14 years old, and Putin and other people actually sincerely suggest gay people are a danger to society. So this comedy, takes on a very real and sinister mening in 2023. (The Grotesco humor group also made an introductory parody song to teh Russian contribution to the Europen song festival about that same time, which actually made the Russian embassy complain to the foreign department. As if the department has any influence over television in Sweden?!! This ain't Putin's Russia!
I'm Swedish but I lived 4 years in Scotland, and I always thought Scots and Swedes had a very similar sense of humour, this kind of content definitely cements that :D Great to see someone enjoying it even with subtitles!
The translation is very well made. It’s not word for word and some passages are slightly different to make sense for non Swedes. But on the other hand it works as a song pretty well which is no small feat.
I would say, as a queer myself, that if you start this song around any group of queers, they will start vibing so hard. They will sing, dance and just have a great time, myself included. I've heard som straight people go "It's actually very rude and offensive to gays." We always go like "No...? This song is superior?!"
Gay people is generally very funny and witty, and as long as the gay jokes are good, they are the biggest supporter/spreader of gay jokes. Problem is that many gay jokes spread by straight people is not good jokes. Half of this set is probably not straight
This song upset everyone in one way or a another, except the gay community, they totally understood it. Well it’s not a song for USA because they would not understand that we Swedes can piss on every religion and get away with it. 😏😂

They were the most successful comedy group in Swedish history, producing several movies, TV-shows, theater revues etc. Some of them might have been subtitled here on RUclips if you wanna look into it.

Jag menar, det är ju bögarnas fel, det är ju inte konstigt att vi refererar till den. Absurditet att skylla allt på en målgrupp, speciellt eftersom vi alla vet att det är 100 år utav socialism som har förstört vårt land, och inget annat. Och eftersom enbart kanske 5% av befolkningen har förståelse för hur man kan bli rik, och 95% är avundsjuka, men har ingen lust till att ta risker, så är det ju inte konstigt att vi är världens mest beskattade land... och vi går ner på knä för staten, för att visa vår uppskattning, innan vi vänder oss om och blir tagna i baken, och sedan skiter dem på oss och allt vi kan göra är att gå till systemet för att glömma bort vårat elände... Och sedan var fjärde år går vi och röstar på samma rötägg som förra gången i hopp om att de inte ljuger oss i ansiktet denna gången... det är raka motsatsen till prostuition, vi betalar för att ta den i skitan. Inte tvärtom.
I have not heard a single reference to it since like.....2015. Back then, yeah sure. Even had a friend who meet Dorsin while working for a theater and did a "bögarnas fel" joke and getting a laugh ut of him. This was around 10 years ago though.
We swedes can make jokes of everything. And we love pushing limits for what satire is 🙂 rest of the world have sometimes problems with that 😂 but we swedes love it and have high acceptance for it… but pleace stay 5 meter from us when we waiting for the buss 🙂 lol
Everything? Really? Imagine making similar satire, not on Christians but on this other Abrahamitic religion well known for homophobic behaviour. You sure 'we' can mock big Moh in the same way?
Yes! I loved how quickly you got the point! Well, its not that difficult really and as you said: its very funny, right on target and well performed! Cheers
And it's not even exaggerated (well, not much anyway)! A Russian-orthodox patriarch blamed covid on the gays just a couple of years ago. Which makes the joke even better imo
agree, “short of one fork” (en gaffel kort) , is really a pastische of a gigantic swedish “sing and songwrite” Cornelius Wreeswijk. Without knowing of him and the “aura of the 60’s”, I think it falls short….
That's my favourite Dorsin performance ever. Both a love letter to the late great Cornelious Wreeswijk and a parodic homage. But yeah, that's a domestic classic only, since you really have to know about him and his legacy of music here since the 60s.
I don't know if you notice the pastor and the small boy almost at the end. The pastor sings about his neck hurting from looking to long at the computer. Then the pastor is standing with the boy. Look how he's touches the boy.
You have to watch Robert Gustafsson, imo the best swedish comedian there is. He has so many fantastic satiric skits but is also great at physical comedy, Bertil visits Corporate Express is a favourite of mine.
This is such a perfect satire about how we blame other groups of people out of fear 🙂 Sweden is a very grounded and satirical in their thinking kind of people, most people here think it is just silly that anyone would even care about what sexual or religious orientation another person has, they are just people, let them do with their free time or feel how they want as long as no1 else gets hurt 🙂 Unfortunately that open attitude has faltered a bit since the former nazi party "Sweden democrats" was voted in the parliament, but most people here still have the "live and let live" attitude
As a Swedish gay I endorse this message. Satan himself isn’t to blame, everything’s my fault. Now. Let’s get back to vibing to the anthem of Swedish gays
You might have gotten a clip that misses the last punchline. Loosly translated it says "humor approved by the Swdish state" and show the logo of the national swedish broadcast agency. SVT
Its really famous here in Sweden. The biggest religions can finally agree on something.... hahahahhaaa! And they show how not dealing with your own problems such as the son that is a murderer can get turned into hatred against an innocent group of people.
I can recommend Fredrik Andersson - Chinese girlfriend 😁 If you want some more with Grotesco, take a look at this: Grotesco - Runka Bulle (Soggy Biscuit, english subtitles).
As a swede born in the sixties and growing up with Monty Python. I on say "the logger song". There are several interviews in swedish with the Grotesco members being inspired by Monty Python. A great mix of british and swedish.😂
The bald guy is Henrik Dorsin. absolutely HILARIOUS comedian here in Sweden :D You should see a show called "Solsidan" It is great. Also Johan Rheborg participates and these two guys are in the elite of Swedish comedy!
This is a satire of evangelical christians specifically. Sweden had a state church all the way from the reformation up until very recently. The state church "Svenska kyrkan" as they are still called, have been quite progressive and accept gay priests as well as performing gay weddings. The evangelical movement is Sweden is a whole topic in itself, but I'll give a quick summary: "Frikyrkor" (free churches, or free congregations) are religious congregations that started to emerge in the late 1800's and were allowed to separate from the the state church in the early 1900's The free congregations come in the usual flavours ranging from pretty lame to outright doomsday cults, and some of them, especially the pentacostals, are quite inspired by the white evangelical movement in the USA.
This song makes me think of "Blame Canada"...don´t get me wrong I did like this satire song when it first come out...but I like "Blame Canada" more.😂🤣🤣😇
I did once have a legit reason for singing this: the Pride parade was messing up the buses and I was late to my god friend’s party (filled with gays). They laughed so hard when I finally made it!
Grotesco was an incredibly funny show. Very little Swedish comedy has been subtitled in English. Some of Anders och Mans is good. If you find some more let us know!
The independent church is the one that is mocked in this video. The independent churches is usually more extrem in their point of views. And the way they music is reminds much how their music is. Today Sweden is a country that become overly pc. That makes it even more funny. The irony in this is genius
Everyone in Sweden who grew up or was alive in the early 2000s knows of this masterpiece. I don't know if I've met a single person who didn't find it at least a bit funny. That being said, if this were done today... OH BOY, would it get accused of promoting hate speech and the like. The world changed a bit too much in some areas, sadly. Just stumbled upon this video and saw the thumbnail, and you brought back a lot of memories, thanks a lot!
I love Grotesco! In 2015 they had a live show in Stockholm that went on for about a year. My choir was invited a few weekends, whenever we could round up 4-5 people. Then we would just come out at the end number and sing harmonies to Bögarnas fel. I LOVED being able to be part of that. 😊
I am happy that free speech lives and thrives in Sweden. They have always been at the forefront. Would this be acceptable anywhere else? Britain perhaps?
This should be Ukraine's new National Anthem, Tingeling.....with the best sentence in the the song that is ""Tingeling, Tingeling, Dasvidaniya Putiin..." :-)
Subtitles says "That IKEA ... isn't Swedish anymore" but the actual Swedish is "That wine and liquor ... aren't even Swedish". It is indeed a shame, and I know who to blame.
A great song from a great tv show. I have felt it was a bit of a homage to one of the earliest comedy groups. Well, two groups actually Galenskaparna och After Shave. They made a lot of great shows and movies in the late 80ies and early 90ies. And the one I think Grotesko made an homage to is from the movie "Hajen som viste för mycket" or "The shark who knew to much". The movie pokes fun at the stock traders' newly rich yuppies of that era. The song is called "Himmelen har skänkt oss alibi" or "The Heavens has granted us alibi". It's a fraternity of these people singing about how the problems in the world have nothing to do with them because, you guessed it, they have an alibi. I have included two links to it, one is a clip from he movie, and as you can see its fairly similar both in style and tone. ruclips.net/video/7NAzfX3fljs/видео.html The other is just the audio from the group's youtube: ruclips.net/video/utM6kNmEWew/видео.html I hope you enjoy it =)
@mertswe Well, why this satire goes so well, is because it’s the absolute opposite of a Swedes manner. We Swedes are generally very polite and not so outspoken. If we find something wrong, we just go with it and don’t complain. We may think free like this, but very rarely complain. 😂😂
If this was replicated now in Sweden, 90% of the cast would be immigrants and/or muslim and the satire would be gone, and instead actual policy. Love Swedistan.
Simply impossible to get enough of this satire. Everyone should see this and most importantly read and learn from the message. As always: thanks Grotesco for this masterpiece of humor.
So people make fun of the bible. Very original. Why is this funny? Satire is bullying for 'grown ups'. It is not loving, caring, respecting. It is just trashing for a quick laugh, a minute of fame, some bucks.
Please do note... the episode is from 2010 - and unfortunately this form of satire is long since dead in Sweden... and might even carry a jail sentence. Anything and everything to protect feminism and immigration - even by extension.
You're a bit off when it comes to the meaning of the song. They're not mocking the church, They are mocking homophobes by impersonating them and demonstrating just how ridiculous they're acting.
The translation was, unfortunately, truly atrocious. It was an odd mix of trying to translate the sentiment of the way the pastor was speaking (traditional, conservative) but just came across as a high schooler doing the most to give an alternative phrasing because the conventional one isn't cool enough. I say this because I was this person in high school. For me, one of the things that adds to the humor level of this is also just the formality of the words, but "bögarna" is "f*ggot", so the clashing "bögarna" in all of the formality is a bit lost when you translate it to the more neutral "gays".
"Каин сказал своему брату Авелю: «Пойдем в поле». И когда они были в поле, Каин накинулся на своего брата Авеля и убил его. Тогда Господь сказал Каину: - Где твой брат Авель? - Не знаю, - ответил тот. - Разве я сторож моему брату? Господь сказал: - Что ты наделал? Кровь твоего брата взывает ко Мне из земли. Теперь ты проклят, изгнан с земли, которая разверзлась, чтобы принять кровь твоего брата, пролитую твоей рукой." - "Владимир, где Алексей?..." Продолжение о жестокосердии последует. Следите. Вот оно (продолжение). "... и возгорится гнев Мой" Ничто не вызывает столь мгновенного и столь сильного гнева Всевышнeго, как жестосердие. В этом проявляется наказание по принципу "МЕРА ЗА МЕРУ". дедушка берлинский
Still sometimes comes up in discussion as a jioke when something has gone wrong. "But you know whose fault it is right?" and everyone starts singing lol.
These guys are Hilarious!!! If you want. Check out a Stand up Comedian called Fredrik Andersson ""Scottish vs Swedish women". T ...and where you are at it not to forget Grotesco (this group) who had a middleact in Melofiestivalen (Qualification to Eurovision) the other year . Check out their song "Tingeling"
It's not mocking the church as much as it is mocking homophobic extremist Christians, as is shown by how the pastor can't name any part chapter or verse, as the bible never advocates hatred towards anyone.

Sweden is a very grounded and satirical in their thinking kind of people, most people here think it is just silly that anyone would even care about what sexual or religious orientation another person has, they are just people, let them do with their free time or feel how they want as long as no1 else gets hurt 🙂
Unfortunately that open attitude has faltered a bit since the former nazi party "Sweden democrats" was voted in the parliament, but most people here still have the "live and let live" attitude
As an gay Swede, I support this message.
I remember when everyone used to walk around singing this song, it's way too catchy
We certainly have a wierd since of humor. Satir and sarcasm
Yes we do. And I love it 😅
Well, that thing about Eurovision... That's factually correct.😂
😂😂😂
As a Swedish gay I endorse this message. Satan himself isn’t to blame, everything’s my fault. Now. Let’s get back to vibing to the anthem of Swedish gays
You might have gotten a clip that misses the last punchline. Loosly translated it says "humor approved by the Swdish state" and show the logo of the national swedish broadcast agency. SVT
Nisse Hults historiska misstag - if you could find it with Engl subtitles. Don't know if it's just funny for Scandinavians?
Its really famous here in Sweden. The biggest religions can finally agree on something.... hahahahhaaa! And they show how not dealing with your own problems such as the son that is a murderer can get turned into hatred against an innocent group of people.
Some people literally started playing this during the pride parade in my city lmao and a bunch of people in the parade started singing along
2:33 "The Eurovision song contest just NEVER seems to end!", well, the gays probably are to blame for that one 😂
welcome to swedish humor :)
I can recommend Fredrik Andersson - Chinese girlfriend 😁 If you want some more with Grotesco, take a look at this: Grotesco - Runka Bulle (Soggy Biscuit, english subtitles).
As a swede born in the sixties and growing up with Monty Python. I on say "the logger song". There are several interviews in swedish with the Grotesco members being inspired by Monty Python.
A great mix of british and swedish.😂
You should realy react to poesi för fiskar, övertidskrig (poetry for fishes, overtime war)
Can you please react to ” Nå i dont tink så ” and ” heter jag Elnour? ” that would be so fun!
"That IKEA, Saab and Volvo are not Swedish anymore?"
She's not even mentioning IKEA at all, she's saying wine and spirits there
You should watch trögfattarnas förening. It is a old comady in sweden
The bald guy is Henrik Dorsin. absolutely HILARIOUS comedian here in Sweden :D You should see a show called "Solsidan" It is great. Also Johan Rheborg participates and these two guys are in the elite of Swedish comedy!
Roligaste gänget i Sverige på senare år😊.
And Dorsin's wife playing that nun..?
They are mocking homophobes because homophobia doesn’t make any sense.
Even Satan himself isn't to blame 😅
In sweden we take our humour very serious😂
Robert Gustavssons “speech” to the real Swedish king on his birthday is just crazy good…but I don’t know if you can find it with English subtitles…
Nice reaction.
Next song "Sabaton - Blood of Bannockburn"? :)
This is a satire of evangelical christians specifically.
Sweden had a state church all the way from the reformation up until very recently. The state church "Svenska kyrkan" as they are still called, have been quite progressive and accept gay priests as well as performing gay weddings.
The evangelical movement is Sweden is a whole topic in itself, but I'll give a quick summary: "Frikyrkor" (free churches, or free congregations) are religious congregations that started to emerge in the late 1800's and were allowed to separate from the the state church in the early 1900's
The free congregations come in the usual flavours ranging from pretty lame to outright doomsday cults, and some of them, especially the pentacostals, are quite inspired by the white evangelical movement in the USA.
And today they make Greta Thunberg a holy Saint as Jeanne Darc.
I sing this at least seven times a week
This song makes me think of "Blame Canada"...don´t get me wrong I did like this satire song when it first come out...but I like "Blame Canada" more.😂🤣🤣😇
The one thing uniting the big religions... blame it on the gays!
I did once have a legit reason for singing this: the Pride parade was messing up the buses and I was late to my god friend’s party (filled with gays). They laughed so hard when I finally made it!
4.10 its subtle but its great satire. You missed it :)
Grotesco was an incredibly funny show. Very little Swedish comedy has been subtitled in English. Some of Anders och Mans is good. If you find some more let us know!
They also make satire of the Swedish tv show “debate” what discussed news topics and had always had a crazy person attending
The independent church is the one that is mocked in this video. The independent churches is usually more extrem in their point of views. And the way they music is reminds much how their music is. Today Sweden is a country that become overly pc. That makes it even more funny. The irony in this is genius
Still funny...😂
Jösses, det var längesen jag såg detta.😂
Nu behöver jag leta reda på Älgarna demonstrerar och Köttbullar i näsan!😅
I'm an immigrant living in Sweden and even I can tell you this one is a classic!
This and Nile City are the peak of swedish comedy in my opinion. Basically most things Grotesco gänget and Killinggänget are involved in.
Funny enough, the Swedish church is actually very progressive. It's mostly conservatives and smaller religious groups that thinks like this.
Some Monty Python influence
This was the theme song for the Pride festival in Stockholm, it's a banger!!
You should see their most absurd sketch: "Ett kilo Mjöl"
You should watch Swedish Fika by Go Royal. Funny political swedish song about Fika
Everyone in Sweden who grew up or was alive in the early 2000s knows of this masterpiece. I don't know if I've met a single person who didn't find it at least a bit funny.
That being said, if this were done today... OH BOY, would it get accused of promoting hate speech and the like. The world changed a bit too much in some areas, sadly.
Just stumbled upon this video and saw the thumbnail, and you brought back a lot of memories, thanks a lot!
My birth was in 2010 and I saw this live once lol.
If you play this song at a party in Sweden, everyone's gonna cheer and sing along. It's amazing
The song got very popular in the gay community here in Sweden.
I love Grotesco! In 2015 they had a live show in Stockholm that went on for about a year. My choir was invited a few weekends, whenever we could round up 4-5 people. Then we would just come out at the end number and sing harmonies to Bögarnas fel. I LOVED being able to be part of that. 😊
In my choir we changed the lyrics to make fun of the basses "Basarnas fel"
I am happy that free speech lives and thrives in Sweden. They have always been at the forefront. Would this be acceptable anywhere else? Britain perhaps?
This should be Ukraine's new National Anthem, Tingeling.....with the best sentence in the the song that is ""Tingeling, Tingeling, Dasvidaniya Putiin..." :-)
One time I ( a high school student) was in the locker room before P.E class, and all the guys started singing this.
No comments on the hint at priests and alterboys.. it is horrible and yet I can't keep myself from cry-laughing :)
If you want to see more swedish humor, then i strongly reccomend "Carina Berg" by Björn Gustavsson, sung at the "Melodifestivalen" in 2008.
god i love my country hahaha. i thank this song for letting me know im the cause of every disaster in man-kinds history XD
Subtitles says "That IKEA ... isn't Swedish anymore" but the actual Swedish is "That wine and liquor ... aren't even Swedish".
It is indeed a shame, and I know who to blame.
"Vi har ju ingen lokal"
Swedish satire = excluding mocking immigrants and bögar. They are so political correct.... it is a joke in it self. Please prove me wrong§!
Ja, det var ju ett givande kommentarsfält med bara svenska kommentarer.
Dessutom med egna förslag på andra svenska humorinslag att kommentera på.
A great song from a great tv show. I have felt it was a bit of a homage to one of the earliest comedy groups. Well, two groups actually Galenskaparna och After Shave. They made a lot of great shows and movies in the late 80ies and early 90ies. And the one I think Grotesko made an homage to is from the movie "Hajen som viste för mycket" or "The shark who knew to much". The movie pokes fun at the stock traders' newly rich yuppies of that era. The song is called "Himmelen har skänkt oss alibi" or "The Heavens has granted us alibi". It's a fraternity of these people singing about how the problems in the world have nothing to do with them because, you guessed it, they have an alibi. I have included two links to it, one is a clip from he movie, and as you can see its fairly similar both in style and tone.

The other is just the audio from the group's youtube:

I hope you enjoy it =)
@mertswe Well, why this satire goes so well, is because it’s the absolute opposite of a Swedes manner. We Swedes are generally very polite and not so outspoken. If we find something wrong, we just go with it and don’t complain. We may think free like this, but very rarely complain. 😂😂
If this was replicated now in Sweden, 90% of the cast would be immigrants and/or muslim and the satire would be gone, and instead actual policy. Love Swedistan.
Check out "Love Love Peace Peace" lovingly making fun of the success formula in the Eurovision Song Contest. 👌
Simply impossible to get enough of this satire. Everyone should see this and most importantly read and learn from the message.
As always: thanks Grotesco for this masterpiece of humor.
So people make fun of the bible. Very original. Why is this funny? Satire is bullying for 'grown ups'. It is not loving, caring, respecting. It is just trashing for a quick laugh, a minute of fame, some bucks.
Yes very catchy song! And the Word b*g is specificly homosexual men 😅 /Swede
Please do note... the episode is from 2010 - and unfortunately this form of satire is long since dead in Sweden... and might even carry a jail sentence.
Anything and everything to protect feminism and immigration - even by extension.
The translation is a little off (eg they translate "Vin & Sprit" as "IKEA") but the song's message still comes through.
You're a bit off when it comes to the meaning of the song. They're not mocking the church, They are mocking homophobes by impersonating them and demonstrating just how ridiculous they're acting.
The translation was, unfortunately, truly atrocious. It was an odd mix of trying to translate the sentiment of the way the pastor was speaking (traditional, conservative) but just came across as a high schooler doing the most to give an alternative phrasing because the conventional one isn't cool enough. I say this because I was this person in high school.
For me, one of the things that adds to the humor level of this is also just the formality of the words, but "bögarna" is "f*ggot", so the clashing "bögarna" in all of the formality is a bit lost when you translate it to the more neutral "gays".
"Каин сказал своему брату Авелю: «Пойдем в поле». И когда они были в поле, Каин накинулся на своего брата Авеля и убил его. Тогда Господь сказал Каину: - Где твой брат Авель? - Не знаю, - ответил тот. - Разве я сторож моему брату? Господь сказал: - Что ты наделал? Кровь твоего брата взывает ко Мне из земли. Теперь ты проклят, изгнан с земли, которая разверзлась, чтобы принять кровь твоего брата, пролитую твоей рукой."
- "Владимир, где Алексей?..."
Продолжение о жестокосердии последует.
Следите. Вот оно (продолжение).
"...
и возгорится гнев Мой"
Ничто не вызывает столь мгновенного и столь сильного гнева Всевышнeго, как жестосердие. В этом проявляется наказание по принципу "МЕРА ЗА МЕРУ".
дедушка берлинский
Still sometimes comes up in discussion as a jioke when something has gone wrong. "But you know whose fault it is right?" and everyone starts singing lol.
These guys are Hilarious!!! If you want. Check out a Stand up Comedian called Fredrik Andersson ""Scottish vs Swedish women". T
...and where you are at it not to forget Grotesco (this group) who had a middleact in Melofiestivalen (Qualification to Eurovision) the other year . Check out their song "Tingeling"
That year, the competition was dull, and hadn't the performance being a little (hrrrm) cheeky it could have won.
It's not mocking the church as much as it is mocking homophobic extremist Christians, as is shown by how the pastor can't name any part chapter or verse, as the bible never advocates hatred towards anyone.
@Mert, just search for anything Henrik Dorsin has done. Not everything has English subtitles, though.
