[nknicolaiuta]

very informative and interesting documentary, thanks for posting ;)

[f00g3n]

Midsummer is the swedish version of St.Patricks day. Also im swedish so i know this for a fact.

[Hencytjo]

When I was a kid, they taught us this in school. Not sure if they do so still but I think they should! The Swedish government is trying to change what it means to be Swedish. I hate Sweden, I'd rather live in Washington DC or in Andersonville, Chicago, where you can be truly Swedish.

[Fatminator91]

Lol midsummer=get ass fucking drunk and party all day long :P

[BaraJonteNilsson]

ive forgotten how gay midsommar is, now im shamed of my country!

[Tompii]

This version of Midsummer are for those with children. Regular swedes with no family. Get pissed, pukes, have unprotected sex and certinly get arrested for being drunk in public. Oh did i mention how easy it is to get some puma's during these celebration?

Everyone that dont have or even have some relationships go nuts.

So book your ticket right now to Sweden and enyoy. May be checked for STD's when you get back. With regards futuristic pissed Swede.

[panyabuth]

Ok, we all get it now! You all just get drunk and pass out under the table. Got that after the first 100 comments. But still! If you want to hang on to these traditions, as many of you speak of in other textures, you should truly hang on to these things. Instead of blaming the immigrants. I celebrate midsommar somwhere between what you guys say and what the video tells us. But I only start drinking for real after dinner. So keep these things up, this is what's making us swedish. Jag är svensk

[AeroTheGreen]

"No one takes a sip until a drinking song has been performed"?....

I have to be honest and say that before any drinking songs have been performed, 99.8% of the participants are already dead-drunk and fast asleep under the table...

[Waadulf]

WTF is this shit? I'm from Northern Sweden and we don't celebrate as these pussfaced wannabe Stockholmers.

* We sacrifice sheeps or whatever that contains blood and has a penis

* Drink home brewed moonshine

And when we all are drunk enough, we go home and bang our girlfriends that looks like a blonde Megan Fox.

That's a tradition

[Danne1999999]

@Waadulf Fan va tuff du är, du kanske vill få in lite muslimska högtider istället?

[Waadulf]

@Danne1999999

Jag vet :)

Smart idé! Vi tar hit muslimska högtider och när dem minst anar det så krossar vi islam från insidan! (Precis som i Star Wars)

[grimmer2005]

Its tragedy that this "swedish" family knows more about swedish traditions than most swedes do. Some swedes of course still practise these traditions (often the old ones keeping this alive), but its an minority. Most swedes just get drunk or do something else. The massive immigration from middle east thats been going on for many many years now, with up to almost 100.000 "refugees" per year, into a country with only 9 mill. people, will take care of forgetting this nice tradition in a near future

[snelmau5]

Good thing you americans show some intrest in the cultures and traditions of the European countrys, but really, Midsummer is not much more than getting drunk.

[lachmeneger]

@snelmau5 is there a single holiday that aint about getting drunk?

[snelmau5]

@lachmeneger

Not in Sweden ;)

[hajhej3]

This must be a joke... Midsummer in Sweden = party, beer and chicks

[Killen9346]

Why is there always one who most say "Se upp där nere"?

And btw im from sweden and 9:12 is bullshit, its unusually

[Killen9346]

Why is there always one who most say "Se upp där nere"?

[Lrrrrrrrr]

Hahahahhahahahah is this a joke?! /swede

[oananbr]

"Everyone is involved" 5 vuxna och tre ungar. PARTEY

[Bofinkenn]

Im Swedish. Adn the thing I do on Midsommar is party, drink myself wasted and fuck at least 2 chicks

[GGxodus]

omg plz don't embarass Sweden more, and pleas speak proper english.

[Joniz85]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF IS THIS!!! skämmer ut oss för helvete!!

[patobliv1942]

I'm swedish and i dont give a fuck about this :D

[willeb94]

Uhm originaly u dont have a christian cross, u should make it like a peins cuz its really old stuff befor that jesus guy. i dont really care about spelling so stfu and learn swedish

[springis11]

This is more how it looks like /watch?v=Lbh3uAZ4WUM&feature=r­elated

[Daniel96a1]

lol swedes dont even celebrate midsommar like that anymore, it was like 100 years ago they celebrated like that

[Torsdagskvallsmys]

@Daniel96a1 Dont know where you got your info. But that is just not true. Midsummer is probably the biggest celebration day /year

[Daniel96a1]

@Torsdagskvallsmys /facepalm

[Lov3RsPk]

@Daniel96a1 Lol your not very clever are you? This is how it's celebrated the right way. Idiot...

[Gameryeah]

@Lov3RsPk yes it is but noone does it anymore if you do ur retarded := sorry

[Daniel96a1]

@Lov3RsPk yeah but in a boring way-.- you should go party instead!!

[Lov3RsPk]

@Daniel96a1 Partying with your friends on midsummer is wrong in my opinion. You should spend some quality time with your family. You have 364 other days to party on. Also i have no idea why im writing in english to you.

[Daniel96a1]

@Lov3RsPk hmm ok but that depends on how old you are, guessing on 40+?

[Lov3RsPk]

@Daniel96a1 Ingenting har med åldern att göra på något sätt. Midsommar ska firas som den alltid har gjort på ett bra sätt.

Om man känner för att parta med sina kompisar why not, men det har ingenting med högtiden att göra.

[Daniel96a1]

@Lov3RsPk Där har du rätt men personligen föredrar jag att parta

[Hampe135]

@Daniel96a1 Vadå vi inte firar midsommar? skämtar du lr

[Halo51727]

KKK is the word

[ThreatFromAbovee]

ITT swedes talking to swedes

[ihodey]

De glömde en detalj i midsommarfirandet - man ska skratta lite också!! Shit vad allvarligt allt verkade.

[OoXl]

*facepalm*



[martinkaby]

where the hell is the beer?

[iSewil]

LOL fail

[ItchyTrojan]

Swäden!!!

[tjalolx]

haha, no one does this shit any more, it's just another reason to get shitdrunk

[SZiaDaN]

3% might be a bit low, but it's definitely not 50% of the Swedish population that do this. (Seriously guys?? You honestly think half of the population is doing this??)

Perhaps 10% of the population actually dance around a may pole, The rest of us are out partying like there's no tomorrow. I personally haven't even seen a may pole in years now, and no one that I know is doing this shit. Perhaps some of the people who live out in the forest actually think this is how you celebrate midsummer.

[neverhoodyn]

@SZiaDaN

Du tror att 30+ är ute och super?

[SZiaDaN]

@neverhoodyn Inte alla, däremot tror jag att dem bjuder hem släkt och vänner och super ;)

Jag vet att majoriteten av dem inte är ute och dansar runt en midsommar stång iallafall.

[TheMalmga]

@neverhoodyn

Ja? Inte för att dom är "ute" i samma mening som vilken fjortis som helst, men super redigt, det gör dom!

[laban123321]

@neverhoodyn varför skulle dom inte vara det?

[Adamon39]

Dont belive this dragon drop shit their telling you.

Havnt seen anyone do it like this sence 1998

[AnusCandy]

SD's paradis XD

[Roflmfaoftw]

@AnusCandy ?

[AnusCandy]

@Roflmfaoftw tru

[Roflmfaoftw]

@AnusCandy Are you racist against swedes?

[AnusCandy]

@Roflmfaoftw is swedes a race?

[Roflmfaoftw]

@AnusCandy Ment as racist against whites

[allisonforfornsed]

@AnusCandy LOL....Swedish people are Germanic, I believe the race would be caucasian. LOL...Germanic peoples include: German, Swedish, norwegian, icelandic, Danish, Dutch, English, Austrian, (maybe I left some out.) All classified as caucasian. of course not all caucasians are Germanic.

[saifani]

they are missing one very important thing in this video, they are supposed to do all this while being very intoxicated

[Weden12]

04:56 JORDGUBBAR!

[BigO161107]

Omg no wonder usa thinks swedes are fags. This is a very old tradition. only like 40 year olds and older do this shit. the rest gets drunk, fucks, fights and piss on electric fences.

[eacooo]

Another swede here!

Gotta agree with what daiini said, about 50% of the population does this, and its mostly for their children and family. But the majority of our population (especially younger people) get wasted and party like there is no tomowrrow hahaha

[Naessen]

This is the best time of the year, and all u non-swedish who are saying we arent doing this are lying. Ofc we are dancing around the pole drinking beer and schnaps and singing songs, there is juts nothing more swedish to it MIDSUMMER FTW!

[Stabiloten]

Midsummer is about fucking and getting drunk, putting flowers is to get girls in bed. Nothing else

[daiiani]

Aaaw. I'm from sweden, and yeah we do this.

50% of the population. Not 3%.

It's not so serious, but its funny cuz its so fucking ridiculous

And yeah. The grown ups does it for their children, cuz they think its funny.

And the teenagers (some) does it becuz they are drunk as fuck.

[Strandoz1337]

@QlimaxDennis Dancing around the pole is not many who does anymore, but singing the songs and drink alcohol like they did I know alot of people who does. If you dont spend time with your family in midsummer you may not call yourself a swedish man/woman.

Damn immigrants destoying our beutiful traditions and country.

[maxsil89]

Swedes only do that when ther'e drunk....

[HipHipKareta]

VART FAN E SPRITEN!?

[Viic88]

Wtf! Now i'm ashamed for being swedish.

Do we really do that?

[Strandoz1337]

@Viic88 Bara riktiga svenskar, så kallade arier, gör sånt.

[Viic88]

@Strandoz1337

Fan rätt! Men vi är ju aryan pagan warriors of oden från början? Måste ju firat på något ballare vis än det där.

[Effmeister]

Haha, this is how we celebrated midsummer for like 40 years ago. Today it's a competition between you and your friends to drink the most alcohol and get the finest pus*y...

[ThirnaZs]

Dance around a penis, like a boss

[PirateXzibit]

As you can see from the comments; yes! The Swedish youth is aggressive and disrespectful toward anyone. =)

[palten88]

@PirateXzibit because of the filthy immigrants we aquires every year

[PirateXzibit]

@palten88 Thanks, you just strengthened my point.

[ajfen1]

haha fail at 06.17

[ajfen1]

Midsummer is just another reason to get wasted!

[SZiaDaN]

@svante1991 I don't usually comment on youtube. But since you obviously have no clue what you are talking about I had to come in and clear it up.

Calling someone a "Svensson" is NOT the same as calling him/her a "Retard". Svensson can be translated to "Your average Joe". "Svensson" is just a common lastname in Sweden and it's a typical Swedish lastname, hence why it became the "average joe" thing.

And since Midsummer isn't celebrated in this way anymore, you can't call them "Svenssons".

[Dannnehotmail]

Retards. and I say this as a Swedish :P

[hahahehe1337]

Proud to be swedish!

[JukkAMoviE]

This is embarrassing for me as a Swede... and no, no swedes are doing this anymore as we are not christian in sweden anymore.

[Strandoz1337]

@JukkAMoviE Prata för dig själv

[JukkAMoviE]

@Strandoz1337 what?

[grudism]

@QlimaxDennis

more likely 60 %

[Nimrondel]

@grudism yeah its more than 60% that celebrate midsummer but i doubt that there is anyone who celebrate this way anymore.

[toastad1]

@Nimrondel How come u doubt it? Have u ever been to Leksand, Tällberg ( or Dalarna ) in midsummer? This is the way most families, especially with small children, celebrates midsummer.

[Luykas]

Midsummer is meant to be celebrated with tons of beer and a hot swedish chick, anyone who'd to this shit instead is sexually obsessed with their grandmother.

[Tobbs96]

@Luykas I just can't understand where these guys got all this from? Bring family together? Can't remember. Hand me another Jägermeister.

[plingiling013]

de är ju bara en massa pissfulla människor som saknas :)

[KakaffStudios]

The maypole is meant to represent a penis.

There, now you know.

[vladovosk]

EVERYONE celebrates midsummer, just not like these retards.

[lilliestam]

@QlimaxDennis only 3% celibrate midsummer?

[Dannnehotmail]

@lilliestam no Everyone do it. but no't like that

[Vultures13]

I fucking hate you for showing this to the world

[jkubar]

They should also show the evening when everyone is scattered around drunk as hell. And the can of moonshine was forgotten ...

[hannesH3]

damn i hate the hearing!

[daviddavve]

wtf?! im swedish and I did that once then I was 5...

[ssisffs]

äh vad tramsiga ni är som blossar upp er och slänger glåpord, tycker det va en helt okej video på hur midsommar ska gå till :)

[Blackiesoul]

@ssisffs

word.

[JasonNaughty]

yea of course this is what every swede does and after it we go with our ships to rape and plunder. and btw, who's the crackbitch 0.30?

[soulextracter]

Hatar när sverige ska skämma ut sig -.- man skäms ju över att vara svensk!

[Kyoxruler]

[SEBBE09]
