  • this is no typical home...

  • The design is VERY danish, but it's not a typical home.. maybe a typical kitchen, and I guess the newer buildings look like that, but most buildings are old :)

  • Very typical danish home.................... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

  • i can't really see how this is "typical" either. Most danish homes are alot older and cosier :)

  • Just to clear things up... I am danish, but no one I know is living in a spaceship like that.

  • This is by no means a typical Danish home. Our buildings are usually a lot more old-fashioned because generally Copenhagen and the provinces are made up largely of restorated historical buildings (we have laws to protect changes made to properties. Like, you can't just paint your house screaming yellow or build above a certain hight).

    Nonetheless, the Oprah videos seem to only really give insight in how it is to be an overclass woman living in Denmark.

  • The design is typical, but the house isnt it is far too big and open, it is a rich familly living there. If you are lucky, can you find a absolutely new house just build and with no furniture, it will look like that. the design is typical, because many of the danish architects draw apartments this way.

  • How can people say that this is typical danish design, but not a typical danish home? Isn't it the design of the homes people actually live in that decides what is typical?

  • "That's your whole refridgerator?" typiske amerikansker.

  • What a sterile enviroment, it made me shiver.

  • @Lisaj4431 Me too and I live here in Denmark - have to add that most people don`t live like that.

  • @Lisaj4431

    Me too. It's also not really how our houses or flats look like. I've never, ever been into such a designed building.

  • How about showing a farting cow in the outskirts of downtown Copenhagen, a (REAL) typical home in a suburb (or any mid-sized city outside the metropolitan area of Copenhagen.) The video presents Cph. as a product, instead of portraying Denmark as it really is. It annoys me greatly, when some idiots from our capital are trying to sell their city, instead of representing the country as a whole. Half the population is situated in Jutland (mainland DK), but this only shows a portion of Zealand.

  • @malakokavlis2 Belive it or not. She is rather commonlooking.

  • I do like this apartment; especially the dining area. I am so glad I am an American; though. I wouldn't live in Denmark, or Europe, for anything. 

  • why the hell its so white? like living in a hospital!

  • @thequake180 Dont worry. It does NOT show a typical danish home. Its danish design. Usually the bedrooms are bigger but it depends. In inner city the apartments are quite expensive easily going up to 2000$ a month or so plus expenses.

  • Cmon i feel like i got but raped....this is typical danish home? ....where is my home then? i dont live like that...an I am DANE

  • That look like my home...except of the windows, the floors, the kitchen, the bedroom, the size´.......

  • 3 millions, wtf.. i live i DK, but i have never seen something like this..

  • Not at all!!

  • I'm danish too, and NO...this is NOT how we live at all. Of course, if you have a shit load of money and have a higher education and job you could have this kind of home. Oprah should have visit a small town instead of Copenhagen.

  • @impauldk Aalborg! :D

  • @TheThomasPower Nykøbing F. :)

  • I lol'd so hard at this video xD I've lived in Denmark my entire life and i have NEVER seen a home looking anything NEAR this :D

  • lol danish home?? lol this have nothing a typical danish home have... normal danish homes is old white a nice kinda history to it.. and filled white warm fealings and familly stuff.. i have newere sean any home like this in denmark ever.. and i bin in 100 of homes lol and apartmens.... that home have no soul... the kids must be geeting sick in a home like that no colors no nothing

  • How stupid is it having those big windows so everybody outside can see you walking naked in your own house.. NO PRIVATECY!!!!

  • "TYPICAL DANISH HOME"????? hahahaa they must be kidding i never been in a house like this and im a dane

  • Check out "Typical" Danish home posted by kaaeferra. That is what a "typical" home looks like. This one is a model home. Beautiful, but need lots of money.

  • ROFL LOL BBQ Fail.

    I'm from Denmark, and my apartment looks ALOT Different. This apartment is for the rich ;)

  • this looks more like a open house 

  • In the beginning of the Oprah Winfrey segment, Oprah implied that her and the blonde had just met - to give the impression that this is a typical woman living in Denmark. In reality the apartment in the video was designed by a renowned Danish architect, who just so happens to be the blondes husband. What an odd coincidence!

  • Not a typical apartment! Maybe Oprah should have visited some apartment in Vesterbro or Amager where there are still shared bathrooms with the neighbours which you will often find in the building on the opposite side of the street!

  • If I saw this without knowing in what country it is, I would guess that it was a home in Copenhagen or Berlin, no doubt, because this kind of design is very Danish. But it doesn't look like a typical Danish home, because the interior design is too cold and steril. Danish homes are cosy and warm with candlelights and art on the walls and yes, Danish homes have soul, this doesn't.

  • Denmark is much better than this, the Danish homes have soul!

  • NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS DANISH!!!

  • Typical Danish Home, my arse!

  • @87SPECTRUM Oprah trolled Denmark. I love Denmark, would you say it is a good place to move to?

  • Stupid. Nobody lives like that. Except her. Maybe we are happy, but its not because of a fake designer home.

  • This is a VERY expensive flat in the most expensive part of inner Copenhagen... this is NOT how most Danes live... but we would probably all like to be able to afford something like this... hehe!

    Greetings from Copenhagen!

  • This is probably how Oprah lives, and NOT the average Dane.

    Now Oprah probably went back to the States thinking ALL Danes live in such a big house.

  • @cheeriosinabowl Well, the size of the home is very typical in Denmark, Danish houses are quite big and have many rooms and space! The interior design is modern Danish design, but it is NOT a typical modern Danish HOME where people live and eat and play and sleep!

  • @luvaconstantini

    ... I did not think it would be a typical Danish home, it is very nice of course, but a little too extravagant.

    Of course,  they would only show her highly bestowed Godess Oprah only the best. Oprah wouldn't waste her own precious time with a typical Danish home. Btw, I can't stand Oprah. My opinion.

  • It was the Danish woman who said it was a "typical Danish home". I like it; except that it is so stark and boring. It would be alright for a single person; but not for a family of five. In America it would be considered very small for a family - really. There is no where for the children to play.

  • @gal5131 Danish averrage houses are bigger than this flat.

  • this must be like 10 years in the future of a danish home, danish homes, are just.... regular..... but still nice :)

  • i would be scared in that house.. i could hit my head in a corner every second.. and NO this is ABSOLUTELY NOT a danish typical home! NEJNEJNEJ!

  • Equilibrium. mortuary..What is it..???????????

  • Lol, this is far from the average Danish house xD

  • lol my house don't look like that:D

  • this is ridiculous xD no one lives like this.

  • If I need a good laugh I just tune this video on!! Just epic and so NOT true

  • IKEA....

  • Typical Danish home??? OMFG -.-

  • Lol, where in Denmark is that? xD

  • Denmark is only the happiest place for white danes!

    Denmark has many female directors, politicians and store managers, but there is no equilibrium of ethnic on the labor market and in parliament, it is shocking to see they have introduced affirmative action in the system...

    It's unfair to see so many high educated ethnic from Denmark, who can not get a job at the expense of their skin color el. origin, we see more Danish residents move to U.S. and UK leaving Denmark a bad reputation!

  • ugly!!!!

  • I'm Danish and I wish I had a house like that :(

  • Why Western modern houses are so exposed? I mean who wants his neighbours or his kids to watch him while he is on the toilet!!! YUK.

  • Sorry to say this but she dosn't say that this is a typical danish home. She says that it has a typical danish design which is very true.

  • WTF that's a penthouse apartment in downtown Copenhagen, wont even dare to guess what that costs, but yes, that's typical (high-end) danish design.

  • sell it to your mama okra lolz

  • Oprah visited two families, this one and then a more "average" one, and the more "average" one gave a pretty good view on how most Danes live. And some do live like this, actually a lot of people live like this in CPH, so I honestly don't think this is such a wrong picture of the city and the people who live here. 

  • This is a part of the "happy" denmark hoax. The people in Denmark are unhappy and depressed, they lied about their happiness. The same goes for this house, they lied again, it's not a typical danish home it's a high class home that only a small minority of rich people can afford.

  • Oh please! How idiotic to claim this is typical! I've never seen a kid's room where they had to crawl through a hole to get there. These are obviously rich people who redesigned their home as they wanted and not in the typical fashion. Liars.

  • love all the coments about that this is not a typical danish home... like lots of others I don't live like that and neither my friends do and I'm danish. It looks cold and white NO COLOURS AT ALL!

  • kæft en dum kælling hende blondinen

    oprah: wake the fuck up, this is not a typical danish home, this is like a high class architech house that no one can afford, wake the fuck up the danish woman is trolling you so hard and you are dumb and naive enough to believe it fuck you suck so hard oprah.

  • I wonder if this house is even in Denmark. I have never seen a house like this before. This woman is the same troll from the other Oprah videos.

  • Comment removed

  • This i very typical danish....... For a dental clinic.

    Nothing typical "homeish" about this. It's more like a high-end middle class appartment.

  • Ohhh but thats how i live :) so because 2 3 4 danes not live like that is it not a reason to other danish people not live like that???

    Its a Scandinavian design ?

  • @TheKazo34ooo that's not a typical danish home this is a weird house ive never seen it before.

  • @MegaKapser where u live? in denmark?

  • @TheKazo34ooo yep, that's sure as hell not a typical danish house.

  • Hvad fanden sekr der for Oprah den fede neger og alle de her højrøvede danske kællinger, det her er ikke en skid sådan som vi danskere lever, det her er et eller andet overklasse hus.

  • WTF IM DANISH AND I DONT LIVE LIKE THIS AND NEITHER DO ANY OF MY NORMAL MONEY EARNING FRIENDS !

  • retards*

  • ohh my fucking god, That is not a typical danish home.. I don't even think we would call that place a home... thank u Oprah, for making us (danes) look like a bunch of retard!

  • omg! there are few people there live like this. most of us live in a nice country house with a garden, or in a apartment beside a park.

  • trying to sell socialism to the world ..

  • my god oprah seriously you are ignorant..

  • this is NOT how we live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sophiebryant1 That is how we live......if we are among 2 % how have the most money !

  • @sophiebryant1 ... lol, no doubt!!!

  • Oprah would have to lay off the fried chicken and baked ham if she wants to fit into the average European home.

  • wow definetly not a typical danish home, looks more like a gay stronghold from the future!! :o

  • WTF!! Okay i'm danish and that is so not danish style (x

    I'd never in my life seen a house like that (x !!!

  • Lol, that woman is trolling the entire danish population. I've never seen a house like that. XD

  • @AarinHikaKao Haha you are absolutely right. Love your comment haha that woman is dumb.

  • @AarinHikaKao i thumbed up your comment.

  • @AarinHikaKao LOL, I still want to live there. But yeah.. has to be too good to be true XD

  • @AarinHikaKao ... unbelievable, you're right!

  • That is very wrong of the oprahs to take a futuristic scandinavian home and call it a "typical danish home" cause that is so not right. There are only a few 1000's in denmark who lives like this. The rest of us lives like... well i really can't explain. Cause there is really much to talk about. Oprah should've told the truth when she said "a typical danish home". :S

  • xD oh my god, Oprah went to the wrong home, if she really wanted to see the real danish style - if we even have a style? O.o

  • That is SO not how most of the danish population live.. wtf..

  • i heard they dont have homework for home.if its real THEY ARE SO MOTHERFUCKING LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @aelita12345678910 we have :(

  • @socue521 fuck homework :(

  • what a load of patronising crap.

    DOH!PRA

  • So this is why the Scandinavians are called the european japanese lol

  • That's not a typical home in Denmark, that's a typical home in Copenhagen! I live in a big house with my own big room and my parrents doesnt sleep in the kitchen, but in their bedroom.

  • @SuperTGfan i live in CPH, and it doenst look like that house neither! :D

  • @SuperTGfan That is not a typical home in Copenhagen... omfg

  • Im not danish but it wouldnt seem rational for that that to be a "typical" home

    Denmark is in the East so it was one of the first civilizations. Modernized i mean. So id assume there to be more antique styled homes and such. Dont really like Oprah and now i dislike her more after this.

  • ... typical Danish home?... this is ridiculous ... how silly...wow

  • lol man... if this is common living in Denmark.. i need to upgrade ma' shit. (living in denmark)

  • it's odd to see the mother and father's bed in the kitchen and also the parent's bed was right in front of the children's room with no door.... um that must make things very complicated.

  • Typical danish home ... MY ASS!!..... Oprah do your research, before filming...

  • That's not how danes lives!

  • I just hate that fat nigger.. she had a hard time going up the stairs

  • @ImbaTequila Well my little racist friend. Maybe it's because she's a little old...

  • @ImbaTequila What a racist bitch you are. If the danish are a bad as you are, thank god my grandfather left that fucked up country. I would love to see you come to my country and call someone a FAT NI**ER. You would get the beat down of a life time, more likely shot. I don't care for Oprah either but she is not a Ni**er.

  • @ImbaTequila fucking racist

  • @jacarandas82 less things, less stuff; more life.

  • typical danish home ?

    i dont think so, i dont know one person that has a house at the size of this.

  • sure a nice danish home, at the cost of many years of stealing national resorces from my country.

  • rich danish people live like this not so rich and pour people dont :D

  • lol this is how RICH danes live..

  • wtf is this? why have danes too look like they all are some rich phonies? you never see the working class people, only how the rich danes are happie and all feel.

    im a dane, im a working class, and the moste of my friends are too... all my friends are very unhappy, some even cunt them selv, others are just alcoholics or half "junkies", im im only fucking 16! does it sound like im fucking happy!? screw the media, they dont know a shit! you cant say: denmark is the happiest place in earth!

  • ja det er sgu da ikke fordi hun mangler noget hva?

  • der er da ingen der bor sådan der i danmark xD medmindre man er fra hellerup, whatsoever.

  • very modern!!

  • Hvad er det dog for noget i snakker om? Alle jeg kender bor da sådan :-s ? og alle hjem jeg har været i, har da set sådan ud!?...

  • Typical or not, someone must keep this house into perfect clean condition. Since it's all white, how many maids do they have at their service to run after 3 kids? I mean, you can get blind by this shining!

    Plus I always thought that scandinavian design was that basic simple so that you can customize your place and stuck up various stuff. This house is boring.

  • @lemonita Most likely they dont have any, we heardly ever use maids in Denmark :D

  • definetley not a typical danish home ..

  • okay I SO do not live like that, and my friends anf family surdenly don't either

  • I live in Denmark but i have never been in a home that looks like the one in the video. Its not a typical home. Its only the rich people that can afford to live like that. Thats a big lie to say that the most danish people live like that!

  • this is NOT a typical danish home! lol

  • Yes, some of us Danes are happy people, but don't be fooled...we do not all live in a home like those women she interviews. She's obviously going for the successful and wealthy family.

  • Ha I lived in Denmark for a couple years and this is definitely NOT a typical house, as mentioned above.

  • "a typical danish home". Yearh right. Im from Denmark, and no one lives like that.

  • I have never seen an apartment looking like that? oO

  • Who the fuck can effort this?

  • Not at all!

  • Well the design is in place. But only the richest and boring people live like that in denmark / danmark. The et dejligt sted og bo dog alligevel.

  • Her home looks like a rehab institution

  • Despite thats now the regular danish home, I can't help but laugh at how shocked Oprah is because of how "small" it is XD

  • my god i am from denmark and NO ONE wil belive that this is a normal home in denmark og det er det sku ik

  • that is not a typical danish home!

  • Oprah should visit a REAL typical danish home, she has obviously no idea what is the truth.. A normal danish home is nothing like that, it is more cosy/personal with pictures on the wall... It is actually funny, that the appartment was for sale when the show was shown LOL

  • Comment removed

  • A typical danish home...WT...this is not true

    An they aren't as happy as they seem...in fact they have quite a high suicide rate..

  • what ?! ive never seen a danish human being live like this ? and ive lived here my whole life !

  • Riiiiiight... Most danes live in a 1.000.000$ appartment....

  • @masterfalle2 We do.

    I live in a BIG house like this and many people live in appartments like this in the video.

  • that sucks... the house is nothing like the real thing!! THAT IS SO NOT HOW WE DANES LIVE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @minugyre So you are actually quite poor?

  • @kmcl11 some of os are, but that house they are showing is a high class penthouse. I don't think that poor, but that house/apartment is defently not a typical house in Denmark.

  • it does not look like a typical Danish house. it is an opportunity that. And kids tend to have large and his own room. And there are also garden. And you can also stay on farms with many animal

  • I love clean homes but my goodness. its too sparse.

  • Loool, no one lives like this in dk...

    But its true, it IS a very danish design. Simple, white, bright with lots of edges..

  • These people have a strange vision of what a danish home is, i live in denmark and this is "FAR" away from what i have seen, this is a true lie these people are strange

  • Okay - Danes do NOT live like this. I'm danish and that house was nothing like what I've seen before. Where is the cozyness, huh? That house looked more like a hospital. Seriously.

    And by the way. Children often don't share their room.

  • I don't know anyone living like this and i live in Denmark

  • they sure are into color aren't they!

  • that house is awesome... but ive never seen anything like it before.. and im norwegian lol

  • this is what we in denmark calls "liebhave" or on english penthouse..

    A typical danish house is a normal house on typical 100-200m2, with fx wooden floors (like my house) and normal kitchen and on and on..

    We live in really normal house's

  • lol this is probaly the most untypical danish house

  • I don't like this home, it seems so cold.

  • WTF seriously im danish find want danish person who believes this is a TYPICAL DANISH HOME

  • This is total bullshit. I'm a dane, and this is no where near a typical danish home.

    This is a typical upperclass appartment, and no way does it represent the danish living standard in any way.

    The fact that it cost around 1 million US dollars, makes it pretty much impossible to afford for the vast majority of danes.

    The woman in the vid is a upperclass designer, and she is a minority in denmark.

  • I live in denmark and that home is NOT!! normal!!!

  • I guess iI live like that hmmmmm

  • well that is just amazing, this is not a typical danish design, this is the typical home of a person who got her idea of design of the house that she wanted to live in. I wouldn't want to live in that kind of house..so empty..maybe Oprah should try to come back and surprise the owner of the house after a week or a month and see if it's still the same ..the structures of the house are dangerous for her three kids..

  • lol, this is NOT how scandinavians live .. wtf

  • @modda91 hopefully, that place sucks!...but the view is nice

  • @modda91 nice view...thats it though. Its totally emotional sterile

  • It is like living in a dentist waiting room.

    I'm freezing my ass off just looking at that interior

  • Yeah this is the extreme of scandinavian design. But it dosn't really represent an average scandinavian home at all.. I definately agree with you - it's very cold and dintist-like, lol..

  • Is it just me or do Danish people like pooping in their living room? The toilet is three feet from the couch... behind a glass door!

  • @edwright105

    Haha, I can assure you this is the only house in Denmark where they poop in the living room. What a contrast to this clinical white apartment!!

  • Thanks for posting this, actually. I tried to view it on the website but the player wouldn't load (with either Firefox or Safari). Why can't these sites take a hint and have a Youtube account.

  • It wouldn't work in IE8 or my Safari either.

    I'd rather not have the sites hosting on YouTube either. Buffering speed, esp. with HD, has gotten worse on YouTube. We need better alternatives.

  • wtf!? why do they call this a typical Danish home??? i have never seen anyhting like this b4. why are they misrepresenting DK? sad !

  • @gotahc

    Beeecause Europe sucks?
