Yeah, they will be happy with the _actual_ two videos for sure. I mean, Tim always spreads such a positive attitude, so much enthusiasm about the places he visits, and he never sh*** on any of them, so I have no doubt whatsoever they'll absolutely love the outcome - just like us.
You mean, unlike the other two, this one they didn’t have to pay for? Not saying the other two are bad, considering all the other videos, he’s made at some point statistically one or two eventually have to be stinkers , but I will reserve judgement until I see them.
Also taking an underpass from a sketchy place to somewhere people who live nearby can do a workout or neighborhood kids can have fun is actually a really cool initiative.
Love hte idea that the tourism board invited you probably to show off the coolest attractions but you went to the Timcore location of a quirky underpass. Like the child that has more fun with the box than the actual gift. Never stop being that child.
When Under The Bridge started playing I couldn't help but smile. It was my first smile of the day and it's 10pm. Really, Tim, the little music jokes are the secret special herbs and spices of your videos.

You know... the monkey bars and the climbing wall might be a fun addition and may have been what sold the idea - but the reason it works is literally just the bright lights 24/7. There are plenty of studies done and all of them conclude that just lighting tunnels and giving them an open feeling as much as possible is what makes them safer. Actual daylight is even better than artificial light, so if you can incorporate skylights that's awesome for day use, but even artificial light is a great factor in safety of walking tunnels and underpasses. Apparently drug dealers and criminals are vampires who are scared of the light. Who knew? ;)
@@shopshop144 You can also recount the history of the entire thing, how the underpass came to be there, how it and the stuff above it evolved. How different parts were made, came to be there (even down to like one bar for the monkey bars or like the colors used). The story of the graffiti there, the people who may have perhaps walked through it at some time, any slightly "unusual" events that happened there. If you really mean it (and are held at gunpoint or something), you can surely make a long video about an underpass, not that anyone would watch it :D
it is always funny how Tim talks two tones lower in real life when recorded on site and in higher pitch when narrating his stories back home for youtube
Interesting idea. I lived in Toronto for some years and they did similar things to some underpasses there. No monkey bars or climbing wallsm but bright lights and murals, usually done by local artists. Under one section of the an elevated expressway, called the Gardiner Expressway, they put a park with basketball courts and picnic benches.
I used to live nearby, and this is a beautiful area! This whole walking path is decorated with fancy lights that show shapes and creatures on the ground at night. There is also a very nice park very close to the underpass. Also, my brother is an expert on those monkey bars
Toronto has a couple places like this - there's Underpass Park (its official name) which is under a rather low ceiling and is mainly a skatepark; then there's the Bentway, which is under an elevated motorway and much more breezy, and is more of a typical linear park.
now all you have to do is get the Toronto Tourism Board to invite (and pay for) Tim! We'll all make sure to thank you in the comments under that video 🙂
Oslo Tourist Board: Thank you for coming here to show your viewers all our lovely tourist attractions such as... Tim: But we're not here for them, we're here for this railway underpass. 🙂 I think they're going to get their money's worth from Tim though. 👍
As an Oslo resident, I'm very much looking forward to your experience with "Korketrekkeren", and then I'm very curious what the last video from Oslo will contain. I'm impressed you found out about the underpass. I didn't know about it.
"First time an official tourist board has ever invited me to visit their country and said 'Do what you want'. And after they see these videos, it may well be the last." - So very Tim! 😂
During the monkey bar section (or just after it) I would swear I heard a Red Hot Chili Peppers song. Then it dawned on me it was the song, "Under the Bridge" and thought to my self, "Why would he use that song in this video. This is about an underpass, not a bridge. A second later I was like, "LOL! An underpass is under a bridge. Took me a second." 🤣 Great choice of song!
Oslo was definitely my fave place to visit in Europe. Its awesome and it's crazy that everyone seems to speak English better than me, a native English speaker with a university degree with a minor in English
Lol... good point. Those over 50 tended to have those sing-songy scandavian accents that immigrants to america had in the 1950s and 1960s... but these younger folks often had no discernable accent and talked at a college level.@@Tjeran
I can't wait to see your Oslo videos. Oslo is one of my favorite cities... and I was able to finally get back there last October. I'll be making a list for my next trip!
Wait, is this Andrew of the wild hotel project videos? This is the most excited I think we've ever seen him. I'm glad to know that a bright orange tunnel with a Very Good Dog is his happy place. Onward, Andrew.
This is such an inspirational video! To think that a man making dodgy videos about mountains that aren't even real mountains, accompanied by sub par midi renditions of once famous songs, can actually get invited by the Norway tourism something - ANYTHING IN LIFE IS POSSIBLE !
Wow, this was cool! I remember that underpass from way before it became, eh… that. As an ex-local (now in Østfold), I really look forward to those upcoming videos…! 💛 from 🇳🇴 !
This was a fun little video, I never knew about this underpass. Also, your pronunciation of "tunnelen" was fantastic, it perfectly matched one of the ways it is pronounced in Norwegian(dialects and sociolects and such can have slight variations).
Oh, Tim! The world is better place for having you in it. And I must admit I am already more interested in visiting Oslo that I ever had been just knowing that you feel it's a place worth going, and I'm not easily influenced by influencers!
Looking forward to the Oslo videos! I'm in the middle of a decision whether to do a short stopover at OSL or to do an overnight or two in Oslo before continuing for a trip this summer. Maybe your videos will convince me to not just hang out in the airport!
@@abigailcooling6604 yeah sadly, putting something that can easily be made into sharp stabby things into the area may not have been the best. Although had it been made a few years later with the rise of TikTok (started 2016) maybe they would have put it in anyway
Honestly, even without vandals, a mirror outdoors would require frequent cleaning. It would have gotten axed for maintenance costs. (Also, being right next to the monkey bars is a definite safety hazard)
I'm just so taken by this! If course we should have such things in underpasses. It's free protection from snow, rain, ice, or too much sun (UV wearing down materials). With free sturdy walls and ceiling to attach things. This one is wide enough for people to just pass through while others to use the things installed the. The monkey bars can be things people use regularly when they walk there. Maybe from and to work. Like ten times a week. It gotta help build up people's strength over time!
I love the Oslo Metro! I'll definitely check this out next time I'm there. The city's tram museum is work a visit at it looks like you might be going to do the The Holmenkollen Line. That's my favourite Metro Line in Europe! :)
Tram museum, you say? Holmenkollen line? Don't tell everyone, Henry, but I think you're going to like the next two videos on this channel :D (And yes, the Holmenkollen line is THE BEST isn't it? Unrivalled scenery for a metro line)
I love this! Also I miss Oslo and proper snow (although I know Oslofolk are probably sick of it by now). And I was going to point out the unexpected place Norwegians put the stress in the word 'tunnel' but I noticed you know already 😅👌
Very perceptive of the Oslo tourist board. I am, in fact, someone who sometimes considers visiting Oslo but hasn’t yet done so and thus might just be persuaded to by one or two interesting, slightly unconventional videos.
Cool video !! I was 10 years when the subway line was constructed in 1964-65. We played in this underpass and a nearby tunnel. A fantastic childhood. In winters with much snow like in the video, we could have speed to ski right under and into the valy to the south of the underpass. there we costrucred skijumps with scary profiles. Or we cold dig tunnels in the snow north of the underpass. In spring, we navigated the small river on scary rafts and even ice-flakes. Yours Jens E
I'm so happy our neighbours in Norway invited you. Don't hesitate to swing by Stockholm and do a video about the ghost station "Kymlinge" (roughly pronounced Kim-Ling-Eh) or maybe a visit to the Spårvägsmuseet (Transport Museum)!
Bristol has Curbside, which is a BMX/Skate park under part of the ring road flyover. Maybe not as inclusive, but a good use of the space. Birmingham has a canal junction under Spaghetti junction (M6 junc 6). It is not picturesque.
Congratulations! You timed the word "sorry" in "...going the wrong way, sorry" exactly where a major RUclips bug stops playback in their own Android app, making "sorry" the last word in the video for me . And no, I didn't block the ads, I just watched them .
Tim, I have no idea how you get enough money from RUclips to live. But I bloody love your videos. Long may the Oslo tourist board* pay you. * many other tourist boards are also welcome to pay you you too!
my brother was one of the three students that designed the underpass - really cool to see it highlighted by you!
the cartographer of tbanelinjene has been summoned 😳
I think the Oslo tourism board couldn't be more happy with this video.
Yeah, they will be happy with the _actual_ two videos for sure. I mean, Tim always spreads such a positive attitude, so much enthusiasm about the places he visits, and he never sh*** on any of them, so I have no doubt whatsoever they'll absolutely love the outcome - just like us.
wait is this sponsored?
You mean, unlike the other two, this one they didn’t have to pay for?
Not saying the other two are bad, considering all the other videos, he’s made at some point statistically one or two eventually have to be stinkers , but I will reserve judgement until I see them.
"Even our underpasses are dope, come to Oslo and _enjoy_ yourself!"
@@NithinJunenot this one
There's something just so wholesome about this unironic enthusiasm for things which are fun, quirky version of normally boring things.
Also taking an underpass from a sketchy place to somewhere people who live nearby can do a workout or neighborhood kids can have fun is actually a really cool initiative.
Oops litterally what I just said. I could have just thumbs up you comment.
"to show off the coolest attractions"
Sure - but are we here for any of that?
Love hte idea that the tourism board invited you probably to show off the coolest attractions but you went to the Timcore location of a quirky underpass. Like the child that has more fun with the box than the actual gift. Never stop being that child.
"Timcore" hahaha!
0:18 Well ACTUALLY this _is_ the best underpass you've ever seen, regardless of better ones possibly existing.
whats even funnier is that ammerud is mainly a residential area, its far away from the city centre, nice to see places like this getting credit
When Under The Bridge started playing I couldn't help but smile. It was my first smile of the day and it's 10pm. Really, Tim, the little music jokes are the secret special herbs and spices of your videos.
I almost spit my cider laughing when I realized it was Under the Bridge. Tim is great!
Tim’s little soundtrack jokes always make me smile!
Though I think there was a missed opportunity for the Gladiators "Eliminator" theme when doing the monkey bars.
I re-played that bit - ✅, a piano cover of the version recorded by “Red hot chilly peppers”
100% Tim's music is always really good
Andrew: "I can see why you script yourself sometimes." That alone made my day.
1:00 - The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve
1:13 - Sim Broadway - Jerry Martin (Simcity 3000)
1:26 - Fun House (theme)
2:25 - Chariots of Fire (instrumental) - Vangelis
2:58 - Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
3:24 - Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
4:05 - Wish You Were Here (theme)
Damn I knew it was the Verve in the first music segment
Of course there's Under the Bridge 😂
I thought 1:00 might have been "I Know It's Over" by the Smiths
I was waiting for “Underpass” by John Foxx, but maybe it wouldn’t translate well to a piano version.
Content creators should always list music, but here you are doing their job for them, kudos (:
I had no idea this was there, and I've lived in Oslo for 32 years... Thanks for sharing - looking forward to the two next videos from Oslo!
It's fun to find out about bits of your city that you either never visited or never came to light.
You know... the monkey bars and the climbing wall might be a fun addition and may have been what sold the idea - but the reason it works is literally just the bright lights 24/7. There are plenty of studies done and all of them conclude that just lighting tunnels and giving them an open feeling as much as possible is what makes them safer. Actual daylight is even better than artificial light, so if you can incorporate skylights that's awesome for day use, but even artificial light is a great factor in safety of walking tunnels and underpasses. Apparently drug dealers and criminals are vampires who are scared of the light. Who knew? ;)
As long as you don't invite them in, they can't go into the underpass
lol " you cant really make a long video about an underpass" has me laughing! Great video!
Under setting, you can s l o w the video down, half speed and make it last twice as long.
@@shopshop144 You can also recount the history of the entire thing, how the underpass came to be there, how it and the stuff above it evolved. How different parts were made, came to be there (even down to like one bar for the monkey bars or like the colors used).

When that underpass is the English channel tunnel, you can make a series.
it is always funny how Tim talks two tones lower in real life when recorded on site and in higher pitch when narrating his stories back home for youtube
some of it is probably different microphones

Under one section of the an elevated expressway, called the Gardiner Expressway, they put a park with basketball courts and picnic benches.
and spikes
And an ice skating track as well!
I love how you always find a background song that complements the video. "Under the Bridge" was a nice touch.
I used to live nearby, and this is a beautiful area! This whole walking path is decorated with fancy lights that show shapes and creatures on the ground at night. There is also a very nice park very close to the underpass. Also, my brother is an expert on those monkey bars

3:52
Joliet Jake: “How often does the train go by?”
Elwood: “So often, you won’t even notice it.”
As an Oslo resident, I'm very much looking forward to your experience with "Korketrekkeren", and then I'm very curious what the last video from Oslo will contain.
I'm impressed you found out about the underpass. I didn't know about it.
You are the perfect person for a tourism board to sponsor, you are always able to find obscure but interesting locations everywhere you go
"First time an official tourist board has ever invited me to visit their country and said 'Do what you want'. And after they see these videos, it may well be the last." - So very Tim! 😂
3:19 Doggie "Hello" 😆😆
Finally a video from my country! This place is riddled with quirks worth checking out. As always, top notch content, Tim :)
During the monkey bar section (or just after it) I would swear I heard a Red Hot Chili Peppers song. Then it dawned on me it was the song, "Under the Bridge" and thought to my self, "Why would he use that song in this video. This is about an underpass, not a bridge. A second later I was like, "LOL!

😂😂😂 Did you talk to any person above the age of 50 while you were in Oslo?
Lol... good point. Those over 50 tended to have those sing-songy scandavian accents that immigrants to america had in the 1950s and 1960s... but these younger folks often had no discernable accent and talked at a college level.@@Tjeran
Always nice to see new videos from my favorite (currently active) Tim.
You know you need to make a sticker of the 'Approved' stamp right?
Love you videos. They are great break from the chaos of life.
Thank you!
Looking forward to the video on Korketrekkeren. Thinking of going there in a week or two.
I can't wait to see your Oslo videos. Oslo is one of my favorite cities... and I was able to finally get back there last October. I'll be making a list for my next trip!
Tim i just love the unfettered joy you bring to your short but ever so much fun videos !
The approval stamp was great 😂
Wow that's very cool - I've now lived 6 years in Oslo (coming from the UK) and had no idea! - Hope you have/had a great time here 😊
Railway underpasses are non stop fun 👏 well done Oslo 🇳🇴
Two of my 3 favorite comedy series are from Norway, Lilyhammer and Dag. Norwegians have the best humor in the world.
Greetings from The Netherlands
i just LOVE your style of reporting on things. thx a lot
Wait, is this Andrew of the wild hotel project videos? This is the most excited I think we've ever seen him. I'm glad to know that a bright orange tunnel with a Very Good Dog is his happy place. Onward, Andrew.
Another great little video. Thanks!
I just love the music. Tim's piano playing in this episode was truly delightful.
There's a similar underpass near the Schiedam Centrum Railway station near Rotterdam in the Netherlands
A much better version at that. Time to start paying some youtubers to come and take a look at it I suppose 😅
This is incredible! Can't wait for your other Oslo videos :)
There's about 100 meters of a painted John Cleese doing a silly walk in a (bike- and pedestrian) underpass in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
But that's not fun... just plain silly (Sillyderpass ?)
For those not familiar with it:

Thanks!
Love how you guys coordinated your outfits too!
Absolute Legend.Thank you for the great video's.
This type of video is why I am very happy to have subscribed to your channel. Just doing a fun little thing because you were where the fun things are.
Always happy for Norway content.
Wow, this was cool! I remember that underpass from way before it became, eh… that. As an ex-local (now in Østfold), I really look forward to those upcoming videos…!
💛 from 🇳🇴 !
Trains through football pitches, monkey bars under metro tracks, what a great time to be a railfan!
This was a fun little video, I never knew about this underpass.
Also, your pronunciation of "tunnelen" was fantastic, it perfectly matched one of the ways it is pronounced in Norwegian(dialects and sociolects and such can have slight variations).
This made my morning breakfast just a little more enjoyable. Under The Bridge was an awesome touch. ❤
Hooray for Tim! and Andrew! and The Oslo Tourist Board and their wad of Krone! - Hooray!
I burst out laughing at the unexpected Chariots of Fire music.
The Berlin climbing walls in the very long underpass looks brilliant !
Oh, Tim! The world is better place for having you in it. And I must admit I am already more interested in visiting Oslo that I ever had been just knowing that you feel it's a place worth going, and I'm not easily influenced by influencers!
Congrats on 'Visit Oslo' wanting your input so much that they actually paid you to come and film.
Very impressive - to me, anyway.
☮
Looking forward to the Oslo videos! I'm in the middle of a decision whether to do a short stopover at OSL or to do an overnight or two in Oslo before continuing for a trip this summer. Maybe your videos will convince me to not just hang out in the airport!
You aren't already convinced by the tunnel with monkey bars in it?
Clicked on this video so fast, simply because "Funderpass" made me giggle like a madman!
Haha the graffiti where the mirror wall could've been shows exactly why it couldn't have been.
Also because someone probably thought putting a load of very smashable glass things in an area known for vandalism is not a good idea...
@@abigailcooling6604 yeah sadly, putting something that can easily be made into sharp stabby things into the area may not have been the best. Although had it been made a few years later with the rise of TikTok (started 2016) maybe they would have put it in anyway

(Also, being right next to the monkey bars is a definite safety hazard)
Chariots of fire is a fine musical match to to olympic efforts! Well done in every aspect
An incredibile transformation of this underpass, much lighted so feel more safety and pleasant.
But is also a free gym.
Loved the stamp
Playing the piano has done wonders for his upper arm strength.
It also looks a lot more cheerful a place in the snow for some reason.
hecc this looks awesome. Could certainly use a couple more of these around the world
I'm just so taken by this! If course we should have such things in underpasses. It's free protection from snow, rain, ice, or too much sun (UV wearing down materials). With free sturdy walls and ceiling to attach things.

Good morning, Tim, from Southern California!
This is great content! 😎
2:27 so graceful!
Newport on the Isle of Wight have an underpass which is a converted Victorian railway tunnel. Cool in a different way I think

I can't shake the feeling that lighting alone already contributed to it feeling much more inviting.
I love this! Also I miss Oslo and proper snow (although I know Oslofolk are probably sick of it by now). And I was going to point out the unexpected place Norwegians put the stress in the word 'tunnel' but I noticed you know already 😅👌
I am sure the Oslo Tourism board will approve. There is something so wholesome and positive about your videos. They alway make me feel happy.
Yay! Norge content! 🥰♥️😘
Funderpass is a great name 😀 it looked exceptionally cold!
Great video from my hometown. 🙂
Once again, your musical choices strike when I least expect it and make me laugh!
Very perceptive of the Oslo tourist board. I am, in fact, someone who sometimes considers visiting Oslo but hasn’t yet done so and thus might just be persuaded to by one or two interesting, slightly unconventional videos.
What are you looking for in a vacation destination? Oslo might surprise you 😁😎
I have been in between Sweden or Norway for my vacation this year, I'm guessing your videos might tip that scale 😅
The 1952 bobsleigh run that looks as if you have tried is amazing and scary. the underpass is brilliant
Oh my God you've been to Oslo and I missed it.
Maybe it's for the best. I would have absolutely stalked you.
The music is amazing. SIM-city tune is my favorite
Thats actually really really cool!
Tim im kinda sick right now and should be writing an exam tomorrow but you got me laughing.
Tim is the monkey bars hero we need!
Great video!!!
Cool video !! I was 10 years when the subway line was constructed in 1964-65. We played in this underpass and a nearby tunnel. A fantastic childhood. In winters with much snow like in the video, we could have speed to ski right under and into the valy to the south of the underpass. there we costrucred skijumps with scary profiles. Or we cold dig tunnels in the snow north of the underpass. In spring, we navigated the small river on scary rafts and even ice-flakes. Yours Jens E
I'm so happy our neighbours in Norway invited you. Don't hesitate to swing by Stockholm and do a video about the ghost station "Kymlinge" (roughly pronounced Kim-Ling-Eh) or maybe a visit to the Spårvägsmuseet (Transport Museum)!
Or about how we've had to bring out museum cars to shovel snow, because the modern ones can't :(
Bristol has Curbside, which is a BMX/Skate park under part of the ring road flyover. Maybe not as inclusive, but a good use of the space.
Birmingham has a canal junction under Spaghetti junction (M6 junc 6). It is not picturesque.
