John Cleese: Norway Home of Giants #1

[ShayCarlFan1000]

"Raped my forefather... mother, sorry"

[Quex01]

Norwegian army rucksack rules!

[an5d5ers]

I wish it was more like this here! :D

[gulllars]

TØRRRFISK... LOL

This is an epic clip. It satirises the funny steriotypes of norway.

[MrRambo4]

Norway was peaceful until the evil devil anders breivik destroyed the peace.

[MCullenHightopp]

@MrRambo4 Nah, he just slightly disrupted it. We're as peaceful as ever, now that we know how much we dislike fighting.

[sablahedning]

hehe the worst part is the fact that this is actually all true^^

[Etomia]

bulls**t!!! I <3 Norway

[Finsopp]

RÆVKROK!!!!

[42Fern42]

Thank you soooooo much for uploading this, I love it! Pity about the quality, but it is still hilarious. Tusen takk!

[TeeVeeNZ]

@42Fern42: Sorry I never got a Crisp Copy, I didn't know it would be so popular!

[DarkSigner7]

This is awesome!

[Linoran1985]

"...raped my forefather.." LOL

[Anthraxinternational]

Is that an episode of Monty Pythons flying circus?

[TeeVeeNZ]

@Anthraxinternational: No it was a special Norwegian production.

[nikolaikri]

"skull bumping" hahahaha. yes we do that a lot over here :D and ROOOOFL from 4:20 and out hahahahahahaha

[nikolaikri]

"skull bumping" hahahaha. yes we do that a lot over here :D

[smitler123654]

Em there like nothing like this

[ingareinar007]

Cleese pronaunces our language well! Gotta love the `skipart here X)

[skofuzen]

This feels like one of those nature shows where they focus on one particulare species :p 

[lefseleif]

hm. had no idea we were like this

[Kaaxe]

Best description of the Norwegians would be that we are waaaaay proud of ourselves. Which in turn sorta makes us full of ourselves.

[insertclevernickname]

My grandperants were from Norway, seems like a nice place, looks like BC, where I was born. Not blond but I am 6'4"...

[plainlake]

And now we have a national superiority complex.. Although we still crave confirmation on it at all times.. As an example, a norwegian mom was going to be interviewed on Oprah. And the prime minister called her personally to ask if she could mention certain aspects of the welfare system. you can find the clip here on youtube.

[Epicaq]

I felt it was like "Brødrene Dal" meets "Monthy Python"... Totally epic

[Nightangl]

omg john cleese is the best! <3

[Hodepine6]

haha, i love being norwegian!

[petkol]

This is an average norwegian. Displeased with his home country, he suffers from a national inferiority complex deep in his heart - and what may I say, which he deserves. But what happends when this norwegian goes abroad?

~Classic. It's called "Jante Loven".

[jonasHM]

@petkol No. Janteloven is something different.

[casinobowling]

Jon Eikemo a Stril From Bergen Town is the name of the actor that portrayes "The Avarage" Norwegian!

[BB76USA]

LMAO @ the skis part! I think I have this on tape somewhere. It was on PBS years ago.

[Muthsera80]

Hahahah. I would say this is an accurate portrayal.

[norvegiaostfaan]

tørrrrrrrrrfisk

[SuperRIDDE5]

I watched An evening with John Cleese Yesterday, And it was Awsome!! That man, is a genius!

[filmidioten]

Yeah, saw it last friday in Oslo and will see it again this upcoming saturday in Oslo. He was HILARIOUS!!! :D

[SuperRIDDE5]

[nighthawk003]

I am from Norway =D

[morganselstoe]

så viktig! :P Er du fra Bergen? John Cleese skal ha ett show den 8. i Grieghallen

[Willowdared]

I remember seeing this when it came out...what a hoot!

[sat1va]

I wasn't expecting to find this. My father is a Norwegian proffessor and he had this film and I remember watching over and over in the early 80s. I was going to convert the old VHS tape into digital form but I guess you have it covered. Good job!

[TeeVeeNZ]

If you have a better resolution version go for it : )

[hevnervals]

How old is this?

[TeeVeeNZ]

It was Made in 1979 by Norsk Rikskring Kasting

[UltimateVenom]

@TeeVeeNZ it's called NRK now, old-timer :p

[ddioppp]

@TeeVeeNZ rikskringkasting*

[Kjeta95]

@TeeVeeNZ Norsk Riks Kringkasting ;)

[oal1976]

Brilliant. it is a cutout of KLM's old Monterux bid.

[Snoguube]

I love the lutfisk at 6.13!!

[Faile91]

Hahahaha, this is Norway and Norwegian people spot on;D I loved the scene where that guy is going up the stairs with his special stair-skies xD Thanks alot for uploading this!

[TeeVeeNZ]

It is surprising the interest in this film.

Thanks for the Feedback.

[anavrin91]

@Faile91 hahaha, i know :D

[TeeVeeNZ]

I had it on a dusty old Beta tape.

[balobon]

Great that you've found these tapes! I've been looking for them, but never found them!
