Snorri Hestrinn (Charlie the Unicorn in Old Norse)

[bttfjulesvernemarty]

If Charlie the unicorn was a Viking on a Viking ship...

[bttfjulesvernemarty]

Old Norwegian language

[d1ckyj0nes]

"Hestrinn"

[Saithedemonlord]

One person had his liver stolen

[MrZapparin]

LOL, this is like watching Pingu

[KillerMayhem]

Charlie the Unicorn in Norrœnt Mál is amazing! And I think you've done a great job at pronunciation recon. If there was more material like this around, philology would be alot more fun...

[ecollinsoceans11]

Awesome idea. OLD NORSE RULES.

[meggb18]

they have way too much free time..

[sifridstadt]

@meggb18 yes.

[beini321]

weirdly pronounced, try pronouncing it like Icelandic xD

[sifridstadt]

@beini321 I only had a very limited part of the course on pronunciation and had to wing most of this in one night. I'm not entirely happy with it either but I did pour my heart out. :3

[th3warr1or]

Midgarðsormr lmfao!

[kissthecossack]

basically every word in old norse sounds like an english swear. AWESOME.

[SnorriMagnusson]

This is like just one of the best videos I've ever seen!!!!

[smashturnipgirl]

I love this! XD

And absolutely flawless choice of music at the beginning there. Having one of my favourite Shiina Ringo songs and Old Norse in the same video is almost too much awesome to bear.

[sierra043]

what did you call the leopleurodon again? xD

[sifridstadt]

@sierra043 MIDGARDSERPENT!

[MidskakurUlvur]

Why did you use "nine" for "no" instead of "nei" ??

[sifridstadt]

@MidskakurUlvur It was more an inside joke between my partner and I working more than anything. In some ways, we took some things into jokes because we could.

[tommyjones2011]

L.M.F.A.O.

[PrzewalskiStudios]

LOL.

[bjarki723]

Ok, you do know that this sounds nothing like old norse?

[glottidum]

@bjarki723 So I take it you're 800 years old?

[sifridstadt]

@glottidum I am, man.

[sifridstadt]

@bjarki723 Hey, so I take it you're like, 800 years old? :)

LISTEN, OF COURSE NOT! I'm an American who took an Old Norse class for five months and did my best with al language they don't instruct you how to speak in the coursework! Eee, yes, it's bad, but I tried.

[michaelojones406]

@sifridstadt I thought it was brilliant. Much more fun than the sagas :) And it does sound like Old Norse, which it's supposed to be, not Icelandic, so well done.

[vonPeterhof]

Hvat.

[nooonpartisan]

almost everything i've ever wanteddddd

[sciencfiction]

nafnið mitt yay

[Hlinhp]

You don't speak it harsh enough ._. other than that this is awesome xD

[omgnumbersandletters]

how did you learn this?

[sifridstadt]

@omgnumbersandletters Very carefully.

[RavenofDenmark]

þat es mjok pirrandi!

Gott vinna :b

Ek em at læra norrønt mál ^^

Ek hefi hugsat af því, at taka upp svána mynd sem þú hefir gert hér =)

[vikinglarry]

Absolute genius! Just when I thought that Charlie the Unicorn couldn't get any better!

[tuttithefrutti]

GREAT! Is this the modern Icelandic pronunciation?

[RavenofDenmark]

@tuttithefrutti No, it is reconstructed pronounchiation =)

[knight7fox2]

Can I please get a transcript ? :P 

[TheChuchulainn]

Snoooooorrrrri

[sifridstadt]

@sciencfiction sjá vil, áf þér leitandi þau!

[iceland2121]

@sciencfiction Þetta er Íslenska... bara forn Íslenksa.

[runecarver]

EPIC!

You have done Old Norse scholarship a great mighty service, my friends.

Sweet sugary goodness lives on in the immortal tongue of jötnar and landvættir.

Cheers and magic kidneys from Iceland!

[sifridstadt]

@runecarver Tusen takk! I did get your longer message, and will be responding soon. I work many, many jobs in very worthless places, and I got your message while working at one of them, Starbucks, and screamed and was all, "I MATTER I MATTER SOMEWHERE" and my coworkers were like, "who the hell learns Old Norse?" and I was like, "obviously, only the cool kids."

[HimmiJoe]

Haha! Well done for an American!

[sifridstadt]

@HimmiJoe Thank you!!

[jaquiel]
