I know that this RUclips channel is all about reacting to Norwegian culture. Hence, you HAVE TO give "Ylvis - The Cabin" a watch! It actually shows A LOT about Norwegian Cabin culture in a very satirical way, making fun about the purposeful out-datedness of traditional cabins with a lack of electricity, pluming and so on. And it's absolutely hysterical! Traditional cabins aren't everyone's taste, and I'm grateful that my family's cabin is a modern one with plumbing, electricity and internet. That said, quite a lot of people prefer a traditional low-tech cabin, and I can respect that opinion too! And Ylvis' song is a brilliant way to learn more about Norwegian cabins! Definitely worth a watch!
Sometimes, the context calls for vulgar language, and we're not afraid to use it completely uncensored, even in mainstream media. :) The clue is to use it in just the right amount for the best effect.
You dont have the same feelings about vulgar words,when it is not your native language! Maybe it not feels so good always for native English speaking people,so we maybe should show them a little more respect -I think so and bc of children and young people need better role models.
@@Gullvivas We do the same exact thing in Norwegian. Most of us understand English just as well as Norwegian, and we start as early as kindergarten, so we have the same "feeling" about English words as Norwegian. It's just that we're not worried about our children picking up certain words. We also don't self-censor words by leaving out letters or calling them the F-word and similar. It's just not a thing here.
"Operasjon Muskedunder" (Operation Musketoon) was a daring British-Norwegian commando raid during World War II aimed at sabotaging a critical hydroelectric power plant in Glomfjord, Norway. The operation took place from September 11 to September 21, 1942, and was a part of the larger British campaign to disrupt German military efforts in occupied Norway." Background By 1942, Norway had been under German occupation for more than two years, and the Nazis had established numerous industrial operations to support their war efforts. One of the key facilities was the Glomfjord hydroelectric power plant, which powered a nearby aluminum factory that contributed to the production of aircraft and other war materials for the Germans. Sabotaging this plant would have significantly disrupted the German war effort in the region. The British Special Operations Executive (SOE), which was tasked with organizing sabotage and resistance operations in occupied territories, devised a plan to destroy the plant. The operation was to be carried out by a joint team of British and Norwegian commandos. The Plan The plan for "Operasjon Muskedunder" involved a small group of elite commandos, consisting of ten men: four British soldiers from the No. 2 Commando and six Norwegian soldiers from the Norwegian Independent Company 1, which was part of the SOE's Norwegian operations. The team was led by Captain Graeme Black from the British side and Lieutenant Joachim Rønneberg from the Norwegian side. Their mission was to infiltrate the heavily guarded Glomfjord plant, plant explosives on the main power-generating turbines, and then escape into the surrounding wilderness to avoid German reprisals. Execution of the Raid The commandos sailed from the Shetland Islands aboard the British submarine HMS Tigris and landed in a remote fjord near Glomfjord. After disembarking, they made a grueling two-day trek across rough terrain to reach the hydroelectric plant, managing to avoid detection by German patrols. On the night of September 20, 1942, the commandos successfully infiltrated the plant. They overpowered a single guard and placed timed explosives on the turbines and other key infrastructure. The explosives detonated early the next morning, causing extensive damage and completely disabling the plant's ability to generate power. However, the commandos' troubles had only just begun. The local German forces quickly mobilized a response, and the team had to flee before dawn. While the operation itself was a success, the group was forced to split up during their escape. Four members managed to cross the border into Sweden and eventually made their way back to the UK, but the remaining six were captured by German forces. Aftermath and Legacy The six captured commandos were executed under Hitler’s infamous "Commando Order," which dictated that all captured commandos, even in uniform, were to be executed without trial. The operation itself had a significant, albeit temporary, impact on the German war effort in Norway, as it took several months to repair the damaged plant. "Operasjon Muskedunder" is remembered as a highly daring and heroic mission, showcasing the skill and determination of the Norwegian and British commandos. While the sabotage of the Glomfjord power plant didn't decisively shift the war in Norway, it remains one of the most celebrated special operations in the region, highlighting the importance of the Norwegian resistance and the Allied effort to disrupt German activities in occupied Norway. The operation was also part of the broader campaign of commando raids across Europe, aimed at harassing and weakening the German war effort through sabotage and other covert actions. Alongside operations like "Gunnerside" (the raid on the heavy water plant at Vemork), "Operasjon Muskedunder" remains a key part of the wartime narrative in Norway. tv.nrk.no/serie/operasjon-muskedunder
If you thought this was unexpected, do check out Ylvis' "Old Friends". Completely different style, just as impressive musically, and really taking turns you couldn't imagine. (As for American musicians with a great sense of humour - although not comedians like Ylvis - I'd like to add They Might Be Giants and Frank Zappa, both infinitely more interesting than Weird Al. Zappa - who even made an album called "Does humor belong in music?" - was way more foul-mouthed than Ylvis as well. Oh, and of course: the late great Spike Jones & his City Slickers! There we're approaching actual comedy territory. )
Haha Beeping words in songs and TV are the wire part to us Norwegians. English speakers kinda "prude" that way? IDK. It's not a language thing either. We swear if norwegian and english🤣
yeah... not really proud about the joke here,,, Its kinda funny, But yeah, it kinda shows where norway's stand on dubstep is... Our perception of it is:....... it is terrible and comical :P

In Norway they swear on tv and radio, free speach. But people dont do it that often really
True, but we do have a lot more casual nakedness on tv though. Some tits here, an occasional cock there, the rare vagina once in a blue moon
They have many music videos. React to «Old Friends»! 😄😆
