  • Mjög slæm þýðing .....

  • þetta er versta þýðing sem ég hef orðið vitni að.

  • I wish American politicians did things like this...

  • @chrdauph Vermin Supreme anyone?

  • Vá þú ert bara BESTUR

  • i'm not sure about this translation. either way, disneyland was a nice touch.

  • "A drug-Free parliament by 2020, ROTFLMAO

  • Love the expression at 3:24 when he says "Or do I want Reykjavik destroyed?".

  • The girl at 2:26 is the real "Silvia NIght" the crazy eurovision singer from 2006 who went crazy in a TV interview, but now she's a good actor and wants to be called her real name "Agusta Eva" "FUN FACT"

  • @Boeing747type8 that whole crazy singer thing was an act that went way too far, she was playing a character and doing what she was told to do (taking it all the way).But for people to understand this, she probbly should have given the intervievws "as herself".consider this; beingi booed at on a Eurovision stage and still keeping her act together, I dont think many people could do that, so all my respect to her for that.I liked the song, but hated that character ..Great voice&talent Agusta Eva

  • jæja jón hvar er vatnsbrautagarðurinn eða tívolí

  • Iceland revolution is good example to the rest of the world, how to deal with the blood sucking bankers, who live from usury! Icelanders, thank you, crossing my fingers and wishing you good luck. Best Regards from Czech republic, Bob. :-)

  • @robertchutney How can it become an example when there is a media black out about the whole economic revolution taking place in Iceland? Search about Iceland on any major media website, BBC CNN aljazeera, anywhere, there is no article whatsoever about Iceland since they've disregarded IMF. How dare they not become in dept for the rest of the century?

  • Now that Iceland has arrested and kicked out the international bankers they better prepare for the return of these scum bastards. These scum always seek vengeance for example President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) kicked them out but then years later they tried to assassinate him 3 times.

  • @googlesbitch ég held að það sé varla að fara að gerast

  • ef maður les textann og hlustar á lagið þá meikar þetta ekkert sense

  • Politics: you are doing it right!

  • Is the woman at 2:27 the person who played young Bjarnfredur in Bjarnfredarson? And also the person that did last Gleðilegt nýár?

  • @Murphyalex yeah, she also competed in Eurovision in 2006 as her alter-ego 'Silvia Night'. Her real name is Ágústa Eva. She's pretty awesome..

  • I will vote them next time too.

  • Holy shit.

  • I love Heida...........

  • this is the best!

  • this is the best!

  • Nightshift (Naeturvaktin) is being shown on British TV (BBC4) at the moment. Jon is absolutely brilliant as 'Georg'... a great song and Now the mayor of Reykjavik...Is there no end to this man's talents?

  • best best best best best hahah

  • The subtitles are wrong...

  • voll geil

  • Liars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • @emperor075 Looser !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I would like Spanish people to do the same but we don't have enough courage to do the same, it's really good for you, and, why don't we see this at TV?? Governments don't want to, they're occupied looking for money. I hope Spanish people would learn the lesson.

  • we need a gnarr in switzerland too!

  • Comment removed

  • im creeped out....

  • ¡ Ole y ole vuestros Huevos !.

    Aquí no tenemos los cojones que tenéis en Islandia.

    Gracias por la lección.

  • Hilarious

  • hræðileg þýðing xD 

  • If he becomes president perhaps the U.S.A. can become a part of Iceland.

  • @OttarErOsom

    What's in it for Iceland?

  • Greetings from Estonia! What a nice project you've pulled there in Iceland! Too bad we have the same project but they're not thinking of going to real politics!

  • are these spoof subtitles? I assumed they were at first, but I'm not so sure? and then the santa stuff i thought it might be again. Horrifying, in any case. What would Snorri Sturlusson say?

  • @ElectricRay they're an accurate translation.

  • @ElectricRay Snorri Sturluson would be all for Besti Flokkurinn. He always wanted the best, and especially free towels for Snorralaug. But was unfortunately murdered by the envoys of the King of Norway before he could get them.

  • We can't we Brits have someone like him?

  • propaganda!

  • komunism!

  • @emperor075 Was meinest du?

  • Isländisch ist so eine edle Sprache !!

  • Comment removed

  • who tagged this video as japanese pop hahahahaa :D

  • 3:07-4:18 The best..

  • There are more people in my (smallish) city than there are in that entire country. Do you all know each other?

  • @cuntylishus 350 thousend pepaol... let me ask you do you all know each other in your town ?

  • The worst translation I have EVER seen for Icelandic to English!

  • @Clanki It's obviously not meant to be literal. I think it actually does quite a good job of maintaining the sense if not the exact meaning, whilst still fitting nicely into the rhythm of the song, and actually rhyming.

  • sweet thats the same chick that played sylvia night

  • Best shit!!!!!

    Bunch of morons!!!

  • @emperor075

    Morons, really? They got 34,7% of the votes. Morons could never form a new party and win the elections. In fact this has never happened before in any elections here in Iceland. Have you considered that maybe you are a moron?

  • 3:19 "Do I want a bright future with the Best party or do I want Reykjavik destroyed?" - lol, brilliant.

  • lélegasta þýðing allra tíma

  • Hahaha I'll say random Icelandic shit just for fun ég elska ísland hahHa besti flokkurinn forever :) by the way, who is the girl that says something like ooooooh idk she was soooo hot

  • @frozenboyx

    i guess you're talking about the girl that first appears on 2:26?

    she's the actress who played Silvia Night (the "Diva" who went on Eurovision for iceland some years ago..) look Silvia up on youtube.

    Her real name is Ágústa Eva and in my opinion she's an awesome actress (and singer too)

  • @Fooshoo33 HOLY SHIT THANKS BRO

  • lovely language....

  • I'm so voting for them

  • ALLS KONAR FYRIR AUMINGJANA!

  • I'd vote for this guy for President of the United States.

  • 2:42 is the best lol

  • nordic countries of planet earth, wow, all i can sey is wow, what a fucked up transition, from old quiet non competitive life and socialism, too this hoorah moron inspiring gay festivities and a mad hatter. Wow scandinavia, wow.

  • @hurryupche Yeah, Nordic countries are so quiet and non-competitive. (Apart from the fact they created, and in some cases were created by The Vikings)

  • @Rilltheorem The Nordic countries are so much more than vikings. Geez, that was ages ago! We've got more going for us than just that! ;)

  • @LeMoans Yeah, but I prefer to remember Vikings. Their badassness was kinda overpowering. But yeah, I've been to Iceland. Great place.

  • meistari

  • only in Iceland lol

  • Speaking both English and Icelandic, (even though my English is fourteen thousand times better than my Icelandic), I gotta say this translation doesn't really make sense :'D

  • @TheSuperBored1 Ur right it doesn't really make any sense at all :/ We need a better English translation... ;)

  • Iceland's new Mayor...just the BEST

  • "Drug-free parliament by 2020!"

    It'll never happen.

    *SNORT*

  • Isländisch ist einfach eine tolle Sprache :DD

  • LOL.

  • this is the sort of thing that, in canada, you're sure could only possibly be a joke, that nothing will happen

    except he's actually the mayor now. we need people with zazz like that to kick our politics in gear around here.

  • he won the election

  • The film "GNARR" cinema released in Iceland 12.11.10 and world wide spring 2011!

  • @Sigvaldij

    afhverju ætti fólk í útlöndum að vilja sjá þessa mynd? Það veit sama og engin í útlöndum hver hann er.

  • @BirgirZ Fólk í útlöndum hef áhuga á ýmislegum gripum, til dæmis, Íslandi og þess stjórnmálum.

  • @BirgirZ Ég er ekki Íslendingur og jú víst veit ég hver Jón Gnarr er. Og ég vissi áður en Besti Flokkurinn var stofnaður.

  • @silverbiscuit Can't believe you're still watching this video :P

  • @Murphyalex Can't believe you are :D I just get a craving for it every now and again.

  • @silverbiscuit as did I this morning :D

  • all i see are a buncha musicians taking themselves waayyy too seriously. this song will make not one iota of a difference. the participants only demonstrate the same arrogance of those who make a mess of societies. like their pompous self-perceived altruism will really make a difference. yeah right...

  • @ruskyrush well atleast they won the election and are the biggest Reykjavik party atm...

  • 3:45 Sounds unrealistic :(

  • Great, this is for kindergarten kids, right?

  • @Sigvaldij What was the censor beep for? Was it to censor a name or bad word?

  • @DarkLordBarker

    It was the name of an allegedly corrupt politician that Gnarr wanted to swap for one of his..

  • @DarkLordBarker Its a name-Bjarni (I think) but I'm not sure why it was beeped out

  • this ia amazing. Jon Gnarr is brilliant

  • og ástæðan yfir því að ég fékk tilhlökkun fyrir jólunum er ? :s

  • Can you try working on convincing Obama to let the US become part of Iceland?

  • @username1312 Just let Iceland take over the US for a few years to fix up the place. It will make the US a much better place

  • Yes we can!!!!

  • Best. Mayor. Ever.

    I was recently in Reykjavik, and he dressed up in drag for the Gay Pride Parade <3

  • Whenever I feel depressed about American politics and Michigan state politics, in particular, I watch your inspired video. It represents the kind of fundamental change we need if we are to survive. I love that it begins with humor. That is our starting point, if we are not going to spend our days weeping over our stupidity, greed, and ignorance. Let me know when your new video is coming out.

  • Thumbs up if you think Jon Gnarr will be the prime minister of Iceland in the next decade.

  • I want a Best party in America.

  • The revolution starts in Iceland!

  • THE BEST MAYOR !!!!!!

  • Brilliant. Hopefully the next move will be Oli for Prime Minister and Daniel for President.

    Guð blessi Ísland

  • ég skal veðja að sumt af þessu fólki sem eru að commenta á ensku eru í raun íslendingar.

  • @kjarzaboka útlendingarnir skilja flestir ekki íslensku ;-)

  • @kjarzaboka Alveg örugglega alveg slatti af þeim haha

  • Go Iceland, well done!

    A lesson for the rest of the Wertern world...

  • It is election day in Michigan (USA). I watch the Best video before going to the polls laughing in wonder at the wisdom and humor of Besti Flokkurinn and laugh to avoid crying over the situation we face here in Michigan. The Reykjavik revolution offers hope to us all.

  • Fargin awesome - we're with you Reykjavik (ahhh - spelled it right...first try btw).

    - American reasonableist

  • drug free parliament by 2020, thats funny, he'll; be gone by then

  • Happy for You Reykjavik!

  • when hes screaming stuff out like polar bears and such i swear he is high did u see his eyes i mean i couldnt do that if i wasnt high

  • And here's the joke. The other parties are Secretly Corrupt. The so-called Best party is Openly Corrupt. And they say that they will not honor any of the Promises they make. There will be no Free Towels, there will be no Polar Bear @ Reikjavik Zoo, and everything that he said in the Video will not happen.

  • This is hilarious. Great video....

    --Rob USMC

  • In Argentina we need a political party like this, urgent !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Lol, drug free parliament by 2020. Give him some time to kick that nasty coke habit eh.

  • Im glad to see people are telling it like it is whether in a funny way or not. I think Iceland could have a big bright future. I am from the US and we have a lot of squatters in our Congress right now.

  • Fantastic!!! I love this so much. Keep on marching, my friend. I'm with you, all of you, all of us.

  • Fantastic!!! I love this so much. Keep on marching, my friend. I'm with you, all of you, all of us.

  • oh my god this is fucking fantastic

  • lol if only american politicians campaigned like this...

  • We need a BEST party in Italy, too!! :)

  • This video needs more views...

  • Definitely we do need a Best Party in Spain.

    Considering moving to Reykjavik .... 

  • @dgilperez i need a plane ticket from santander ^^

  • @merriaspelotari from Santander to Iceland? No problem, I'm sure this guy will provide his own plane if we're enough brave spaniards ...

  • @dgilperez ^^

  • Við viljum borg sem flott sem er hrein og hlý Og hágæða stöff sem að vit er í. Ekki meira blöff, borgin mín hún þarf að vera töff Við viljum gosbrunna, lestir og alls konar dýr. Ekki glerjaðar hallir og steinsteyptar brýr. Ekki meira af því gefum fávitunum frí. Við erum BEST. Bestasti flokkurinn. Best fyrir Reykjavík. Borgin sú er engu lík. Kerfið er súrt Tími til að lofta út Tökum nú til Tími fyrir kaflaskil
  • who is that hot chick at 3:07?

  • @vtzc You may know her Character she acts in Eurovision 2006

    /watch?v=LEos9VLtgFU

  • economise, we only need 1 santa

  • epic

  • I am going to Reykjavik in September. I am so excited! Can't wait to go to swimming in the hot spings. Should I bring towlels or not? ;-)

  • Ya know for all the apparent 'absurdity' I have to say, I would have votes for him. He's making very definite, verifiable promises. I mean free towels in the pools. Either he gonne get it done, or he's not. There's really no way to change his stance and slide out from it down the line.

  • I love you!!! You cannot even realize how much we need such a change, change with creativity and a laugh. This is the best of man kind and why there has to be hope. Greetings from Italy.

  • cant wait to see what they come up with :) it can only be an improvement from the past few years.

    awesome video :)

  • THE WIRE ROCKS

  • Outrageously good. I can't stop laughing.

  • This is simply amazing.

  • I LIKE MY 13 SANTA CLAUSES!!!!! =((( XD

  • Forza Iceland!!!! The Best!!! Old Party Go Home!!!

  • Iceland is now my new favourite country, and Reykjavik is my favourite city... Dude, you guys are freaking geniuses!

  • Diese Partei ist sicher wert Abstimmung für.

  • yo Iceland gets big ups from California, USA

  • 1. iceland is the best fucking place of all time now, and its offical.

    2. does the crazy bearded motherfucker have a deathmetal band?

  • @N4Rv4mpir3h34rt

    You can find videos here on youtube by his metal band HAM.

  • @N4Rv4mpir3h34rt

    Ham - Party Town. Good song by His metal band :)

    watch?v=8kbNQTA8Tzk

  • @olafurhh03 Jón Gnarr was never in Ham, Sigurjón Kjartans & Óttar Proppe where in Ham!

  • @Ghoztwrita

    And I never said he was. I was answering this question.

    "2. does the crazy bearded motherfucker have a deathmetal band?"

    I'm pretty sure he was referring to Óttar Proppe. Think before you comment :)

  • I am so amazed and inspired, good job, he is selected, he's got an awesome sense of humor who is certainly going to change n a very positive way. Wow, I wis there were more personalities like him to change the face of politics in a really good way, actually I wish we had politicians like him in our own country, doing everything good for the citizens and not for themselves.

    Love it and I truly honor and m inspired by Job Gnarr.

    Very amazing!

    Good Luck and Congratulation to Reykjavik:-)

    Wonderful

  • wow Iceland's beautiful I might come visit.

  • @mhatsko that's what i was thinking!
