@@chimpinaneckbrace we dont eat fermented fish 😂 where dis we get this brand on us? Ask the italians and south east asians about their fermented fish history😂
Ik you're joking but it's not far from the truth! The vikings had a tradition for rap battle like contests were the insults were delivered as poems. It's even in the mythology with Loki roasting all the other gods at a party.
Seriously tho, it is pretty viking age accurate. The "son of a bich" like Conan said would literally get you killed right away. There were orderd sctructured societies with Tings, almost a democracy (but not for slaves), so they would be just as careful and mindful with their insults like Claes! The stereotypes that they were all insane and uncivilized berserkers constantly is very far from true.
They had a tradition called flyting. Which is basically like an oldschool rap battle where you insulted one another in rhyme. Perhaps to a drum beat. Vikings werent stupid. But they tended to be quite literal and matter of factly. And not too posh or fanciful. Ernest Hemingway was somewhat inspired by icelandic poetry because of it's terseness.
But he is good at insults, he's so kind that he's trying to alert conan to make him aware how stupid and immature he is, and he's done it with a layered "joke" which wasnt really a joke at all, he was giving his honest opinion of conan in the form of a joke insult
He starts off by insulting his appearance, then goes to insulting his character and ends it by insulting his nationality. This man knows how to be threatening, not bad for a Scandinavian.
Also, his is the most intelligent, well mannered, educated and peaceful Viking I’ve ever seen 😊 I felt bad for him when Conan in the end truly insulted him 🙂
Viking-insults back in the days was a game of intellect, being able to think on your feet and quickly pick up character-flaws from your opponent - not unlike rap-challenegs today.
Its really true though, all these talk show guys, Conan, kimmel, letterman, all of their comedy usually comes at the expense of someone elses dignity, its always immature humor in the form of mockery and arrogance. They arent even truly funny, as most of their laughter comes from awkward/shock comedy where people are laughing at "i cant believe i just heard that or he said or did that", its not funny, its just how alot of humans cope with awkward or embarrassing situations, "Laugh it off" is the perfect figure of speech to label their humor
When the guy Conan who thinks is a simple farmer, has a PhD. in Insultology and Conan just exposed while under witness protection for insulting the King.
This is like a monty python sketch
"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries."
No, go away, or I will taunt you a second time...
Yes but done accidentally
An armed society is a polite society.
@@IndigenousEuropean-hp4yl Norwegians arn't armed.
Man, those insults are super layered and offensive in the most truthful and respectful way
He has a degree or a PhD.
Joke of a lost British colony lol
“You call yourself a Viking? More like Burger King!!”
|“””””|
( ‘_’ )
He’s not used to insulting people, I love this guy
Norwegians are super nice, and I say this as a Swede
@@anonymousanonym450 You just had to get that off your hairless little chest didn't you?
"I find your sense of humor juvenile and an insult to the concept of humor". Wow, I've never seen such a level of disrespect to people in my life =)))
Very well thought-out insult
I 100% guarantee the writers slipped him that one.
@@poppinbot321 Actually, that's 100% Karl 😅 He has a unique way with words.
Has to be scripted 😂no way he camexup with that on the spot
@@salehmansour1 he did take his time tho so its possible
He's like a viking Jordan Schlansky
Yorgan Slansson
If that were true he’d be going on and on about the correct “Norse” way to eat fermented fish, or some damn thing.
@@chimpinaneckbrace we dont eat fermented fish 😂 where dis we get this brand on us? Ask the italians and south east asians about their fermented fish history😂
That whole country was full of Jordan's.
He's just descended from an Irish wife stolen by Vikings in a raid
He's so thoughtful, the viking time battlefield insults must have felt like a game of chess
Ik you're joking but it's not far from the truth! The vikings had a tradition for rap battle like contests were the insults were delivered as poems. It's even in the mythology with Loki roasting all the other gods at a party.
@@tomorbataar5922 interesting, i thought they were more raging orcs like.
Conan was probably expecting the same

@@tomorbataar5922not on the battlefield tho. they've done competitions of insults on gatherings, that's written.
He just had to think for 2 seconds to come up with the most brutal honest offensive insults.
The sheep just staring is brilliant editing
The editors had so much fun on this show i can tell
Just so you know. The producers make the final call.
Nah, they cut too many good materials just to meet the run time
They REALLY help make it, don't they!
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 yea like I said. It’s the producers who get the final say.
Erm actually ah replies lol
"I find your sense of humor juvenile and an insult to the concept of humor" saying that to a comedian, who has done comedy all his life😭😭
His comedy is just him making fun of other people. So I would call that juvenile.
The sheep is another form of Carl himself.
Hail jarl Carl.
When hes not good at insults, shows he is a kind person
But he is good at insults, he's so kind that he's trying to alert conan to make him aware how stupid and immature he is, and he's done it with a layered "joke" which wasnt really a joke at all, he was giving his honest opinion of conan in the form of a joke insult
..either that or he's as slow as an EPA traktor.
By the time he comes up with an insult the anger will have cooled off LOL
Also take a long time to respond is super relatable
Carl is now my favorite. It used to be Kevin from Australia, but Carl is epic.
Jordan is decent
He starts off by insulting his appearance, then goes to insulting his character and ends it by insulting his nationality. This man knows how to be threatening, not bad for a Scandinavian.
that sheep edit was so good
That was simply exquisite humour!
That ram there watching 🤣
I bet he was also looking for the insults 😂
He’s a very polite Viking warrior 🤣 can’t even think of an insult 💀😂
Conan is known for being great at improvising humor, but with this Viking's insults, even he was left speechless and reactionless.
I think the Juvenile insult was rather spot on but id add that Conan is nothing compared to his SImpson writing days.
They should make Carl one of Conan's writers.
"Let's face it Conan you should have been the co-host.", would have been mine.
Hahahahaha Hahahahaha
This was my favourite bit on this show.
Carl can be a great roasting wizard 😂
turns out vikings are way more polite than we had thought
So Conan's walking around Norway dressed like the cowardly lion from Oz, asking vikings to insult him so he can fight them? Good to know
What a sophisicated way to insult someone!
Karl got some heavy swings, hahaha
And Conan looks awesome in that outfit.
That last one was digging deep into some genuine hatred.. 😕
No. I'd be shocked if it was.
"I like TBS."
That will set the entire crew on frenzy.
Conan looks like I imagine one of his ancestors looking. Like he's about to roll up with Brian Boru.
and just like his ancestors, he lost every battle against the viking lol.
All he had to say "Jay Leno is funnier than you."
Conan the Barbarian
He forgot the perfect go to insult
"Your mother was a hamster and father smells of elderberries!"
Also, his is the most intelligent, well mannered, educated and peaceful Viking I’ve ever seen 😊
I felt bad for him when Conan in the end truly insulted him 🙂
Poor Karl. He is such a nice guy😂
“Your ikea cabinet was assembled backwards!”
Conan looks fucking awesome in that get-up.
"I don't think you're cut out to be a viking. I just don't."
Now, _that's_ how to insult someone.
Carl was put to the test and he really tried his best.
Conan actually looks majestic AF
Who is this Carl? I must know. He is great.
Just google "Gudvangen viking village Karl" - there are quite a few videos with him on youtube
He's also the coach of bayern munich
Hehe! He's a guide at Viking Valley, Gudvangen and does several tours a day :)
If I was him I would say something about his attire. I mean look at it! It's hideous!
Viking-insults back in the days was a game of intellect, being able to think on your feet and quickly pick up character-flaws from your opponent - not unlike rap-challenegs today.
That's the nicest viking in recorded history.
It's like insult sword fighting - from the Monkey Island series!
thats man a viking, his insults was like a flyting type of insults.
Man was being extra carefull in crafting those ones so they would but burn, and yet not offend...
He insulted conan in the most civilised way
I like how the spark effects get more intense lol
He's quite good with words.
The man cannot tell a lie.
You got the strength of ginger breadman
Erik the red:
Loved the beards - looked awesome…
It's missing the audience laughing in the background it feels weird without it
It's just one clip and I'm still can't stop laughing 😅
Conan would have been an intimidating Viking to be honest 😂😂😂
The beard looks good on him. Pretty convincing.
Wasn't aware Vikings talked so much on the battlefield
Conan looks badass.
Guy shoulda gone to Northern Norway if he wanted a proper quickfire insult
Bearded Conan looks badass
I've been playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla so I was hoping for a flyting battle. Looks like Carl needs more levels in charisma.
Don't play tha garbage
ive been searching the comments and did not find anything about how god damn VIKING conan looks in this one
How is that?
Carl showed up as conans nemesis but became his hero instead🤣
It’s the legendary battle between the great Conan the Red and…..Carl
❤❤❤❤ You're SO right! ❤❤❤
JESUS CARL HAVE MERCY
Conan that Barbarian.
Hahaha :D The viking is funny.
Conan has never looked more handsome.
First rule of insulting: Don’t overthink it.
Conan looks badass 😂
Why is this so funny 😂
The Viking: Leno is a better host Conan: Bezerk…
Holy crap, Conan is HOT here!
Conan looks like a vikings character, epic
Cringe*
You fight like a dairy Farmer!
How appropriate. You fight like a cow!
Aaaah, behold the ancient art of Insult Sword Fighting!
Ahh yes Kingdom Come Deliverance, I know it well.
When was this shot
782 AD

Carl is clearly inlove w. the giant ginger.
Jesus, I hope not! 😅
Jesus Christ behave your age. Karl is a respectable wise man. What do you know about history, other than the stereotypes and conspiracy theories?
bro is trying so hard to bring up insults XD
The Ygrasill tree has more roots than your family history generations of bloodlines and not just one bloodline.
When the guy Conan who thinks is a simple farmer, has a PhD. in Insultology and Conan just exposed while under witness protection for insulting the King.
This guy looks like a discount version of Floki from the tv show
Who?
RL Monkey Island insult sword fighting 🙊🤩
That Ram doesent need a reason to fight you like an insult his only reason to fight you is the fact that you exist in a 10 foot radius.
Puhu englantia
Why this reminds me of Monkey Island sword fight? 😂
Conan actually looks like a Viking.
Literally how?
Man life’s not the same with out coco skits
No women want to be with you
@Tapaani no woman like you thank god . I bet you’re a herpe on this planet lol
just use norwegian insults. dosent matter if he understands the words.
A true viking lacks social comfort. And breks under preassure
That is how Conan does comedy. Intimates other people embarrassing them on camera. It's really cowardly if being honest.
Even the sheep is bore
Doesn't Carl a bit look like Jeremy Irons?
Ohh.. nooo. Hahahaha
Compare and contrast w/the contemporary: ruclips.net/video/QGIxe89EHMM/видео.html
Hey, we can't all be skalds man 😅
Nicest Viking
