Swedish Chemist

[Draven84]

I am danish counter-offensive, and I find this Swedish.

[MeisterReaper]

so many trolls here.

cant you just enjoy the skit?

[JokerSyndrom]

I'm from Sweden ,and I find this very Norwegian.

[hansjalv]

That's a really good swedish accent!

[Mullahgrrl]

@hansjalv I disagree.

[hansjalv]

@Mullahgrrl For a briton, it is.

[Mullahgrrl]

@hansjalv Being british is a not a very good excuse for low standards.

[hansjalv]

@Mullahgrrl Well, I'm swedish, are you? ... and I can tell you that Atkinson makes a REALLY good effort at re-creating a swedish accent.

[aztaclalz]

@hansjalv No, there's no good effort and there's not MEANT to be one. You hear the letter "ö" and immediately you think he did well. It's a skit, it's funny as hell - it's not meant to sound Swedish, get over yourself and DIAF.

[hansjalv]

@aztaclalz How do you know what Rowan Atkinson MEANT? Are you Rowan Atkinson?

[aztaclalz]

@hansjalv Because you read into things way too much - Just enjoy the skit and stop spreading lies. Geez, it's people like you that makes us normal swedes look fucking ignorant, roflmao.

[hansjalv]

@aztaclalz I spread lies? Whatever.

[Senkon]

Now i get it c:

[thorneyethecreator]

usually i write an angry comment to make him feel bad and cry at nights (cus im swedish) but this was werry good i must say!

[Macovic]

? Strange how nationalities is perceived...

[gussick]

@IlluminatedRain

I disagree, i think it's a rather good swenglish impersionation

[highamleescott]

classic

[R055T13]

brilliant

[GroovingPict]

Atkinson's "can I help you sir" is spot on English-with-Norwegian-accent.­.. too bad he was aiming for a Swedish accent though (which actually sounds quite different)

[Fantasygold2]

Being Swedish myself, this is just weird xD But still funny

[iDislikeNames]

LOL I love how the most irrelevant part of it, the accent, is the funniest part of it

[JustTheGman]

Haha. I loved this show. So much brilliant UK talent.

Racist my arse!

[eleenb]

@JustTheGman Høres mer Norsk ut B-) (sound more Norwegian to me)

[eleenb]

@JustTheGman Høres mer Norsk ut B-) (sound more Norwegian to me)

[quimsolls1]

bøll... or ærosöl?

[Mullahgrrl]

Funny, but im dissapointed att their failure to properly portray a swedish chemists, they look nothing like that.

[mmasny]

Jesus, if that's number EIGHT...!

[ItsTurningGreen002]

How does anybody not get this?

[batmanofni]

I love the way Rowan says words with 'o' in. Like Shop or Bob. Apparently it's a coping mechanism for his stuttering.

[OmegaRFox]

@batmanofni it's the B part rowan has problems with...

[HCKalu]

As a Finn, I love it when somebody makes fun of our lovely neighbors to the west.

[carlotapuig]

The accent is very well done for being English people (usually the English do foreign accents very badly) but the sketch is very racist though

[howlingwooolf]

@carlotapuig I think it makes the Swedes look endearing. Who'd want to beat them up anyway, their lovely

[gemimasaliva]

@carlotapuig Why is it racist? It's comedy and it's bloody funny! Lighten up and get a sense of humour!

[gemimasaliva]

@carlotapuig In that case you are being racist towards English people!

[Metalheadyup]

@carlotapuig

Racist? How the bloody hell is this racist?

[pc0sence]

Änd, alsö tö remember:

If yöu gö tö the bög, then first yöu müst püll yöur pänts döwn.

Anyways, where do I find the scetch where Rowan is told: "We have a surprise for you! We killed your brother!".

[zombat]

@pc0sence

That would be the 'game for a laugh' scetch

[310BPM]

My mom said the Norwegian exchange student at her high school would always put on a Danish accent and make fun of it.

They never could tell the difference. lol.

[rowanatkinson]

[rheaprinzmetal]

at the end, the way the look at the camera, they're all like "and *thats* how it's done."

[royberrington]

It dosnt matter what language they are trying to imitate, even if it was just in english, it's just funny

[containznutzrule]

I heard a German speaking with a scouser accent yesterday. It made me laugh!

[goatboy42]

it is a good fake accent. but anyone who has met a sweed knows that they speak perfect enlgish in RP. but who cares? it's funny.

[Hammern28]

@goatboy42 Mmmm,should tell that to the swedes where I work.Cause their English is faaaaaaaaar from perfect:)

But,as a Norwegian,I have to say that this sounds like very corny Norwegian English,and it is hilarious:)

[BoxBeckin]

This one was clever. =)

[gromomotta]

Listen to the Nobel-price cermony on tv, and you will most likely here a bunch of swedish professors speeking swenglish.

[gromomotta]

At least better english/swedish than the chef in the muppetshow.

Svenska apoteket, en äkta folkhemsinstution.

[MercuryMay94]

Very good Swedish.. NOT! Hahahaa xD

[emanuel0831]

Im swedish and

that sounds nothing like swedish!!

Så är det bara!!!=))DDDDXDD

[8DX]

Ha ha .. wonderful

[tekqist28]

Speaking as a sweed i can say that sounded very swedish actually :P

hilarious :D

[2620guy]

My dad used to tell me this joke in the 90's when I was about 10. Didn't realise he got it from this!

[babypappa]

I'm from Sweden, and I don't give a ratt's arse if their accents aren't realistic. This is the world's funniest skit. Pure British Genius.

Aresool the lot of you.

[highMODs]

HAH deodörent

[mcagbe]

Can't believe people are so fussed about how good the accents are.

They set the scene as Swedish and make a joke about misunderstanding 'ball or aerosol" for "ball or arsehole"

Such a simple sketch being taken far too seriously

The poor accent makes it funnier!!!!!!

[MrNinjaFish]

Haven't you got anything better to do with your life?

[xXr4ndomXx]

who gives a shit about what accent it is?!? Its a bloody comedy sketch!

[pretygal1]

That was funny ha ha!

[ZerqTM]

(not that while i think all our neigboring countries languages (exept finland) are just perverted versions of swedish slured to the border of comprehention... i reconginze the norwigans and danish probably feel the same way but with the own language in the center hehe)

[ZerqTM]

and it defently sounds mor norwiegan then swedish!

that being said it mostly sounds like an poor and confused imitation of both our languages...

well at least he dident go for danish X3

Now danish is becoming so slurred and incohhrent in the latest generations that even parents are finding it hard to understand there children!

my personal theory is that they made danish so inchoherent to discurage swedish invasion X3

[MageAtYou]

haha didnt first understand they tried to immitate swedish:P

[fuckamericanidiot]

jesus who cares if it sounds norwegian or swedish? who the fuck says boooll or aerozooollll? no one, it's over the top and very silly. that's the point, agh god my head

[ZerqTM]

well in swedish we would prefer to call it "kula"

(more like marble)

then "boll"

(which suggests something bigger like a football)...

and we would never call it areozooolll..

we just call it "spray" or "spray burk"

[babypappa]

@ ZerqTM

Also, in Swedish we would prefer to call you an "idiot", which suggests something like an idiot.

[MagicAccent]

Lol, relax. Everybody's just kidding around :P

It's a Swe vs Nor thing, you wouldn't understand ;)

[MorkaGraven]

I understand norwegians.

Once upon a time, a swedish man got mad an said "you there, get the fuck out of sweden" and from that day on he was norwegian.

[ZerqTM]

customer: God afton

chemist: kan jag hjälpa dig?

customer:Ja, jag vill ha lite deodorant.

chemist: kula eller spray?

customer:Ingen av dom två, jag vill ha den för mina armhålor.

Thats real swedish!

and the accent is soo norwegan!

[MagicAccent]

Lol, at all the Nowegians thumbing you down

I kid, I kid ;)

[kattekebab]

"Can I help you sir" That part was Norwegian :P

[767Sandie]

yes, well.. how should he know?

[augustusgl]

5 seconds?

[LoonyLooners]

It took me another 5 seconds to get it... But it was funny.

[Bidmartinlo]

Sounds more like a norwegian chemist. Like meee.... D:

[AceripXF]

balls or arse hole LMAO

[amyOfEgypt]

rowand hella funny i love him so much XD

[Shimoaoi1988]

Ok for those who don't quite get it, the chemist is asking ball (roll on deoderant) or areosol (spray) and the guy believes he has asked whether he wants to use it for his balls or asshole, to which he replied it's for his armpits. Cleared up now? XD

[DanielMcCabe]

Well done Poirot!

[Jamiethewookie]

Well duh!

[parmolona]

I can't believe you actually had to explain that!!

[Tikopia2000]

@Shimoaoi1988 HAHAHA SO FUNNY IM DYING

[kryl0b]

heeeeeeey....they´re mocking sweden..... HAHA!

[WJCairns]

I'm normally a great fan of NTNON, but I just didn't get the joke here - explanation please?

[DonJonawhits]

"Ball or aerosole" sounds like "ball or arsehole", I think.

Btw, I'm Danish and find it neither Swedish nor Norwegian, but closest to Swedish (:

[GamgiLeRoux]

The joke here was that he asked "Balls or aersole", aersole sounnds like arselhål, wich is swedish for asshole... Balls or asshole?

[Velcroisaripoff]

The customer thought the Chemist said for your balls or arsehole.

[sampleandhold]

hahaaha!.didnt sound very swedish though, but who cares

[kanemura93]

I think he sounds swedish when he says "Can I help you"...rätt tonläge på det i alla fall :)

[LamaPaj]

snygg blandning av svenska och engelska där :P

[stiant06]

I'm impressed... usually when they imitate Swedish or Norwegian they are running a German accent.

[sheogorath19]

@stiant06 yeah but this is so much funnier

[thrallish]

im swedish and it sounded like norweigian :S

[MagicAccent]

Agreed.

[ChipmunkForEver]

WTF?! I'm swedish but it sounds more like norweigian

[hoieoia]

i'm norwegian and i agree

[Finnishbastard]

I concur

[KebabMartinSH]

The dialect, I can agree on, but the way it sounds, Id say it sounds more Swedish...

And I'm Norwegian:P

[ChipmunkForEver]

I'm swedish so I dunno what you're talkin 'bout :D, but in my opinion i think it's more like norwegian and I'm borned in Stavanger but lived in sweden for 12 years so :D

[akos235]

hah I´m from Sweden

[gashgusher]

bol = balls

aerosol = arsehole

its for his armpits

roflmao!!!!

[Vitryss101]

haha I didn't get it but it sounded funny xD

[KevL75]

Seriously?

My god.

No offence, but are you 'blonde'?

[Vitryss101]

you're taking this way to seriously... so he wanted it for his armpits, HAfuckingHA!!

[KevL75]

I'm not taking anything seriously.

At least I got the joke!

But I can see how it wouldn't be funny to Swedes.

To them it's just a couple of men talking.

[Snaggbash2000]

yeah I dont get the joke :P

[orresnygg]

That is not funny ?

Im swedis maby thats way :\

[ImeldaLumos]

A hilarious sketch. Even though he sounded more like a norwegian speaking english, but I guess the difference between swedish and norwegian someway vanish for others hearing them. Rowan is entirely and utterly bliss in the afternoon, and other times of the day also - of course.

[Eradon013]

Fingerniklas, just shut the hell up. You're making more of a mockery of us than this video is.

[Indianpojken1]

is that how we sound to you?

[Lassie676]

LOL!

[peepiepo]

I just love the way the turn to the camera at the end. Brilliant sketch.

[Cilver007]

Haha, Rowan sounds like someone from Sweden :)

[vika01]

no he doesnt swedish people can barely speak english i live there dont wright before you ask

[Cilver007]

I live in Sweden too, and some of the Swedish people that do speak english sound a bit like that. At least where I live.

[IgenDjuret]

That's creative! XD I'm from Sweden, and the funny thing is that this doesn't sound like swedish at all x)

[Alfsterino]

That sketch always cheers me up.

Interesting that it doesn't 'translate' that well to non-Brits.

It sounds Swedish enough to me. Mel's accent(the fat guy) is a bit off but there isn't really much of a script to hone in on.

Anyway, I understand everything the muppet Swedish chef says so maybe I'm different!

[soosiesoo]

my favourite joke ever

[Dannepivot]

lol im swedish and it was fun lol

[v94j]

haha thats not swedish acent but still

[niswel]

exactly, bad spoken English with Swedish accent really horrible! Make me embarrassed to be have been born there...

[ThaCpaptain]

Customer: Good afternoon

Chemist: Can I help you, sir?

Customer: I would like a can of deodorent, please

Chemist: Ball, or aerosol?

Customer: Neither; I want it for my armpits

So... the joke is that Swedes are bad at English? Or is it that he misunderstands the usage of it by thinking that it is to be used for his balls... ? Could someone help me out here! xD

[zabubbz]

ball or aerosol=balls or asshole

[blueberry1970]

I think it's just a joke based around the fact that the word "aerosol" in certain accents sounds like "arsehole", so they expanded that into a lovely joke based around vulgar misunderstanding.

[ThaCpaptain]

Aaah... that makes sense actually. When I listen to it it does seem like that is the case. Now its actually funny! xD Thanks a lot mate!

[limpei1]

ball or aerosol = roller deodorent or spray deodorent. but it sounds as if hes asking whether he wants it for his balls or his asshole

[wolvie90]

I'm swedish and I didn't get the point at all but I laughed anyway xD

[RowanAtkinsonBean]

Rowan Atkinson is so good at acting!

[zackaddy]

Very funny, though, never heard Swedish people talk English in this way :P

[jamalXIX]

I agree, I would say it's more like a Norwegian.

(Except there are certainly examples of Norwegians talking far worse than this)

[EllaKiyaBeatleGirl]

The fat guy sounded a little Canadian towards the end

[whatneverlies]

Ha ha! Maybe like an Eastern Canadian (like the Newfoundlanders)... Western Canadians sound NOTHING like that! :)

[Drittkladden]

Jepp, minister Erik Solheim needs to practice his English more

[Liv063]

That is just the way my parents speak english Xd

[dator36]

not swedish accent and i now cause i am swedish

[Nelsongirlnr1]

hmm... This is not a swedish accent... but its funny :P

[johnnaraspanathas]

can anybody write down the dialogue,please???thank you!!!

[Klownius]

Customer: Good afternoon

Chemist: Can I help you, sir?

Customer: I would like a can of deodorent, please

Chemist: Ball, or aerosol?

Customer: Neither; I want it for my armpits

[johnnaraspanathas]

Thank you very much

[Hammern28]

Haha,I am norewgian,and let me tell you,this could easily be swedish accent as well.I have heard tons accents from all over scandinavia:)

[Xealraden]

LOL thats not fucking swedish accent that norwegian accent!!! trust me i'm swe i know

[Antarath]

Actually you're right hehe. I'm norwegian.

Sounds like Petter Solberg haha
