  • HAHA! Awesome!

  • sweden is not socialistic. we have a mixed economy.

    i love the part with robyn! she's so awesome and i loved her since the first time a heard her, like ten years ago. i love how she is so modest about her fame and success and the way she's living, caring about the environment etc.

    those cribs are just awful!

  • This is hilarious :-D But living in Sweden, I have to say it's really boooring here...

  • Stop taking this shit so seriously, it's hilarious when everybody freaks out due to this. It's freaking hilarious!

  • What is "snuggie"?

  • those awful blankets with sleeves.

  • during the time i spent in america , a year. made me realize how good sweden is, and this video proved it. i dont care bout those houses. free health care and college wtf!

  • Sweden do have more individual freedom than the US and the gaps between rich and poor are not as big as in the US... I think this really proves that Sweden is a great country! :D Scandinavia is a great place to live! And no, there are no polar bears here and it's not cold all year long! The winters are cold but the summers are as hot as in New York or Washington or whatever... and you don't have to go down to Florida to escape from polar bears, do you?

  • Sweden is the socialistic paradise together with China, lets hope soon Noth Korea and Cuba joins the club so we can start transform USA into a socialistic paradise.

  • Svalbard, being a part of Norway, contains polar bears.. And they walk freely in the streets ♥

  • This is hilarious!

  • we rly do require saving xD...

    come save us from free healthcare, polar bears and most of all, the peace of mind we've been cursed with!

  • there arent any polar bears in Sweden.

  • Hilarious!! :D

    Thumps up to Leif Pagrotsky for being such a good sport. And the poor blondes!

  • Amazing!

  • hahaha, what da fuck?

    I´m Swedish and I guaraentee you Americans that our government is NOT Socialist one.

    The Swedish Socialists hate the Swedish government.

  • It isnt socialist, but it is one of the most socialist countries in the world.

  • I dont know really. The gap between rich and porr is expending rapidly in Sweden, We have Creationists in one of the parties forming the Swedish government.

    But okey, we do have a rather large left wing movement here in Sweden of anarchists and syndicalists who has started attacking liberal and conservative politicians.

  • Every country in the world has that...And there are most anarchists in more right leaning countries because anarchist groups are mostly consisting of teenagers who want to rebel against the conservative elements of their governments.

    Jeg er fra Norge forresten...sitter faktisk og ser på House på svensk tv4 nå :P

  • the left wing politics influence in sewden is slowly decreasing with the "new" (3 years) prime minister and government, but in the parliament the socialists still take part in votings. i know this is a joke but still i can't help getting pissed for putting pagrotsky on u.s national tv. he's a cunt, among the other socialists, and björn fucking ulveaus?! come on!

    knulla daily show, heja brännvin!

  • MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA (evil laugh), SWEDEN FTW!!! WE ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD AMERICA AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP US!!!!!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  • This is hilarious!

    Robyn's recycling station, Leif Pagrotsky, the Ikea thing, Grey's anatomy... Just awesome, lol!

    Sweden sure is horrible with the free education and healthcare. ;) Taxes is the way to go!

  • I'm from Denmark. I looooved this. they did something on Denmark aswell. i love The Daily Show so much... People this is sarcasm and Irony. Jon Stewart is so awesome!

  • China will own the US in the end anyway :)

  • haha xD

  • Ok for having different political opinions in different countries, but hearing this Bill O'reilly talk about Sweden like we're some dictatorship is just hilarious.

  • Funny stuff! :)

  • Eww, Baconnaise =(

  • Sweden is the shit

  • That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard... Are we even from the same country, you and I?

    Americans yap on and on about freedom...

    Still they have the death penalty, they refuse to join and accept the human rights agreament created by the UN and they blacklist Amnesty International as a terror organisation..

    Mental illness? Try Jeffrey f¤¤ing Dahmer and David Coresh on for size as mentally unstable... How many of them do we have in Sweden?

    THIS PERSON DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE REST OF US!!

  • Word. ^^

  • Well then you suck XD mr

  • If you do study the subject you'll learn that sweden have more individual freedom than the US.

  • So True so true. Fuck USA and fuck Eu (Still don't get it why we joined eu)

  • I don't understand why anyone is taking this so seriously. Its not an insult to the United States or Sweden. Its just a simple ironic/satirical reference made for entertainment. I must say when the baconnaise segment aired I was on the floor laughing hehe.

  • +1Word.

  • whats the name of the song "folla folla bills"?! fuck I need it

  • LMAO

    sweden+100000000

    america-48932014893014

  • Free education ftw! (:

    /Sweden

  • it's all about the looks isn't it....

  • Very funny Video. Imagine you travel thousands of kilometers just to make fun of some idiots you saw on TV in your own country.

    @Manya900

    Yes, there are: the weather and the darkness in winter.

    @Fanfon99:

    No, imo it's not random. It is quite unusual in other contries then Sweden to see two or more hot, heterosexual women kissing each other. Sad, but true. ;-)

  • I'm swedish and this is just hilarious! x'D

  • Great sarcasm with a bit of irony on the side....

    Refreshingly unamerican actually, lol...

    Good Job!

  • oh LOL

    And what does 9:42 have to do with anything in that? it is just random lol

  • Comment removed

  • Fyfan, de är komiskt men så jävla nedlåtande xD jag skulle ju inte vela bo i amerika iallfall^^ vi har de bättre här i norden imo

  • Det är inte direkt nedlåtande... han är mest sarkastisk :D

  • Go Paggan!!! ;D

  • Baconaise!! HAHAHA! :-D

  • Well, of course this video is heavily ironic. - Jon Stewart usually is. So, crack a smile and take pity on the poor Americans that don't have any idea how much better the quality of life is elsewhere...

  • In Sweden, everything that is not explicitly allowed - forbidden...

    In the U.S. you are  so free, that you can lie on the street and die - and no one is going to do anything.

    I am from Denmark. I know, what I prerfer:-)

  • Oh my. Should I be offended by this? I find myself getting a bit upset, but then I just laugh because only americans would ever believe this :P and I feel sorry for them. They probably don't even know where Sweden is. And by the way, that little gnome is no longer in power, yey =)

  • Oy, this is laughable people. Sweden's not bad. This satire is actually quite entertaining, much like some of your comments. Do you even know how it is to live here? No? Then get out. I do, however.

  • guys seriously. we are NOT on the verge of communism. ive lived in america and im swedish, and trust me - life in sweden is more comfortable, easier, fair and just BETTER.

  • They really are on the verge of Communism, aren't they? I mean just look at them.

    I know America likes to diss the way the EU works, but we really don't have it bad - if anything our governments are more scared of us than yours are of you.

  • Mhm, I hope you're ironic.

  • 10 weeks paid vacation ??? I get 12 days !!! AHHHHHHHH

  • Baconnaise has its own website!!

  • In Socialist Sweden we have bacon-cheese!

  • actually there's candy like that here..the fish are just larger and aren't called swedish fish just fish

  • Sweden is so gonna survive and kick Americas ass!

  • Yeah right. And when you cross the street next time, be sure to look both ways so you dont get runover by a unicorn!

  • This is so funny,I fuukin loe it.

  • This is hilarious :)

  • Comment removed

  • lol, great!

  • Hahaha that was awesome! The best parody of my country I've seen! XD

    "So bleak even their cars are prone to suicide" made me ROFL! XDDD Thanks The Daily Show for today's best laugh! :-)

  • Oh, and to all you swedes commenting and being pissed at this: Look up the word irony, eller varför inte ironi på svenska, så kanske ni fattar vad det här handlar om och inte börjar tjura :-)

  • We're a medium capitalism medium socialistcountry. Btw our nightlife sux our clubs close at 3:00 and the alcohole age is at 20. but the rest is nice.

    50cents crib is sooo cool if i ever get rich ill move to america and get even richer like 50cent.

  • The drinking age is 21 in alot of states in the US.... :)

  • Ehm... I don't know what Sweden you live in, but in my Sweden drinking age is 20 at home, and 18 in like bars and pubs and stuff... (yeh, that doesn't make much sense, but that's how it is)

  • are you serious..thats pretty awsome..i wish i could live in sweden but i only have italian citizenship

  • then you can live in sweden...you are a citizen of EU

  • its definantly a consideration then since i live in the USA and i wanna move as soon as possible...is swedish a real hard language??

  • hahahaa....ok!

    Swedish is really hard to pronounciate but to understand is quite simple.

    You can speak english, everyone will understand you.

  • are their any negatives about life in sweden??

  • The US is hardly a perfect country either. But fine, goodbye. We don't want people who don't like it here. Adjös. :)

  • Allright. Peace out!

  • Of course there are negatives, like anywhere else. For example, discrimination on the job and housing markets is not uncommon (especially to those who don't speak Swedish fluently).

  • When employers are hiring in Sweden they tend to not only look at your qualifications but also how well you fit into the existing group. You'll have this problem in most parts of Europe though, including Italy (unless you're fluent in Italian). Check out the forum at thelocal(dot)se if you have any questions.

  • besides the lack of American entertainment? no not really.

  • No, but it's different from Italian and english.

  • They should have used another example when they showed the idea of taxes with the 5 girls.

    The 3 should have left him as tax, and then the sweedish guy should have said: Now you got a really expensive disease, which would require at least 20 of these women to get rid of. What would happen in america if that happened to you?

    Then 20 of our nice nordic women should have entered the room when he said that... it would have made a better point than the 1 who came back and gave him a masage :p

  • I don't get the americans with the bacon theme. there is something with bacons and americans.

  • USA is the worst country in the world!Baconnaise????WTF??? Die mother fuckers!Euorope was and will always be on the top!

  • Dude your spelling fails miserably!

    Epic Fail!!

    Well I am with you with that thought of yours.

  • Also: Bacon and mayonnaise? Come on, America, what the fuck?

  • Even though we all know that these interviews/segments in the show are for laughs, I still can't stop being pissed off by that extremely "American" attitude and arrogance.

    No wonder that the rest of the world are disgusted by the Americans: you don't even give a shit about the rest of the world, as long you can win this international dick waving contest.

    DURR HURR BIG ARMY BIG POWAH!

  • I'm from Sweden, and I gotta tell ya somethin'. You gotta watch out for that Gimmelböp. It can kill ya.

  • "A couple of them are nicer"

    Wow

    i love his show

  • Sweden is actually a socalistcapitalist country. So yes we are socialists... but sorta a light version :D.

  • We may be more socialistic than the U.S based on having had so many years of Socialist Democratic rule. But make no mistake, we're not a socialistic country per definition.

  • I'm living in a social nightmare

  • Super! By the way: Sweden is NOT a SOCIALIST country! But we have good and free education, so we know the meaning of words. But we are thinner - so right!

  • Well, from an American angle you kinda are a socialist country. I mean, if they think socialism is raising taxes by 3% is... then again, if you can call the Swedish system a socalist one... Sign me up for socialism!

    Although... I kinda like the Finnish one better in many ways... especially when it comes to education.

  • Funny thing is, those girls that are chosen "randomly" from the street, that they probably are. Hilarious one! :D

  • Stupid American, but the way American be stupid is so creative. lol

  • WTF is baconaisse?! I have never seen baconaisse, sounds disgusting haha and Robyn? jeez anyone not from sweden please don't believe that

  • it´s like the candy Swedish Fish. We never heard of any special kind of swedish fish, or candy for that matter. There´s nothing like it in Sweden. That´s an american invention.

  • so is the Swedish Chef :) just another American muppet.

  • You obviously have never tried Baconnaise

  • Oh noes! only 3 blondes and free healthcare it's a nightmare!!!

    I would trade it all for baconaise....or not.

  • Swiden = SocIALISM = bLONDA BABES = wARNING = lol

  • Robyn sweden's biggest pop star? wtf

    Tur att dom inte hört Darin

  • Translation:

    Lucky they haven't heard about Darin

  • She's extremely well-known in the US, that's why they used her. ;)

  • Very nice video, funny as hell.

    And... Swedish girls... are gorgeous.

  • Funny ending... and dont worry... Sweden is a good place with good people... but living here for 17 almost 18 years is BORING AS HELL! i honestly want to leave... but i dont hate my Sweden :) its has funny stuff to but... there is not much more to do anymore xD

  • i saw this on tv it was great!

    swedes are great people!

  • As an American student studying in Sweden this semester, I think I found this video extra hilarious (i've been watching it every day for almost a week). I knew about all the talk back home about "America going Socialist" but I hadn't heard the Sweden remarks until I saw the video. I love Sweden so much, and I don't miss a whole lot from America (Although some Chick Fil A or Zaxby's would be nice ;-) )

  • Grymt bra!!

    Sverige för President!!

    Gillar man inte sverige så skall man lämna landet och inte nyttja dess bra förmåner direkt!!

  • Full of fact errors about our taxes (heavily over exaggerated) and the dental care aren't free for example, but we don't pay full cost for it.. But ye it's rather good =) I had a nice laugh at least!

    And the ending is by the far best I've seen in months xD HAHAHAHA.. I rly hate Ikea, so ugly furniture.. so LOL

  • Actually not, if you run your own business he's not exaggerating at all.

  • Then he should have said so, don't you think? I mean this is a parody so who rly cares as long as it's funny?!

    I pay 30% Taxes where I live, and that is from my pay check.. The other taxes the Swed government have put on for example tobacco, booze, fuel or other stuff I don't add up in my calculations as all countries have them in varying degrees.

  • yea well, just saying :) i was rather reffering to the arbetsgivaravgifter, but hey, i totally agree, it's just a parody, lets just laugh instead. sorry =)

  • I think it's hilarious that the Yanks hate socialism, but the UN keeps chosing countries- like Sweden and Canada- as the best countries in the world!!

    We get hit pretty hard on the taxes as well, but it pays for our healthcare, our schools, our roads, etc, etc. And our banks are regulated. No massive deficit here, but we still feel the pinch.

    Cheers to Sweden.

  • Cheers to Canada. Vancouver is the greatest place on this planet.

  • If you add up all the taxes it ends up at roughly 58%.

  • The end is awesome hahaha!

  • hahaha vafan XD

  • best ever! hahaha I love my country!! SWEDEN RULES

  • Italy is the worst place in Europe nowadays, as a metter of fact I'm pretty ashamed to be Italian.

  • from 36% to 39% is not enough, it should be up to at least 50%

  • This is amazing!

  • Fucking amazing!

    Hallå Hallå från Malta

  • Please do leave.

  • Haha Bäst

  • This is sooo freaking hilarious!!! Hahaha!!!

    American political humor rocks :D "transform men into bearded gnoms..", "keeping the population seriously thin"

    and no, the "full release" man did not know what that means, since release, in swedish school english, just means that, relieve. Hahaha!
