[teppie3000]

How dare you!!!!??

[fakeinnocence1]

jesus CHRIST everyone this is just for FUN.... jeez johnday was bored and made this video for fun. it's not supposed to be misleading of some sort since it's more directed to a parody of the original (no shit) -.-

[LalinWonderland]

Hon är åtta= She practise every day ?

What the fuck?!

[LalinWonderland]

I confirm that the language is swedish and the subtitles are wrong

[mmaarriiiaannaa]

i will never forgive you!

[goamerica2011]

The thing is only THIS ISNT GERMAN!!!! the language is Swedish... the same with the movie... so please change the description... :D thx (by the way... I'm German...

[darkandtwistyboiz]

[100percentgradeA]

priceless

[mikal214]

I love this so much. I cackled the first time I saw it. I just found it again after losing it for like 6 months. Please please keep going and make more.

She scared the hell out of me when I was little. I'm now so glad to discover it was because she'd actually come from hell herself.

[Gitsie007]

johndayrichter, you are hilarious. :D

[Gitsie007]

What. in. the. hell??? Man, this is so wrong but why am I laughing?

[montanabucci]

I've flagged this as child abuse, which it is. Seriously...get help.

[johndayrichter]

Absolutely! It's totally child abuse!

What part are you referring to exactly? The part where I went back in time and made the original? Or the part where I forced children to watch this video? Or the part where I satirically reference upsetting imagery in the original. Oh, hell, what does it matter! It's the thought that counts.

Thanks for keeping civilization safe, Montana. On your expert advice, I'm checking into a mental hospital right now!

[johndayrichter]

Oh, and good luck on your crusade to flag all "child abuse" on YouTube. You might want to search for the text "South Park". I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised!

[kerry5101971]

This has to be the funniest vid on YouTube. Bravo for the effort & when is the 2nd installment coming? I need moar!

[Samadhiatman500]

So funny.

[The911Shaman]

Serious belly laughs. 

[cpsacrazystyle]

Wow i could not stop laughing when i saw this...seriously this is hilarious, love the creativity...wished u made more...i would've totally watched it

[sezjackproductions]

it says swedish radio tv "sverige radio tv" i understand it you idiot not severely radioactive television presents lol you really think people are going to beleive you

[johndayrichter]

Oh, snap! Looks like you figured me out! What an idiot I've been! Now no one will believe me! My evil scheme to defraud Swedish people with poor translations of their own language, ruined! I could have made literally TENS of dollars off this scam! And I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for (etc)

For folks who watched more than 3 seconds: Really? I thought it meant "Swedish Radio AND TV". I guess they just pointed a camera at a radio and broadcast that shit. It was a simpler time.

[EllenPellenPu]

JOhndayrichter, I know you know Pippi is swedish, so why don't you just change the info? Cause it's really misleading.

[johndayrichter]

Dear lovely Ellen Pellen Pu I never meant to mislead you With captions sadly gone askew Don't weep my Ellen Pellen Pu But here's the thing, Ms. Pellen Pu There's really not much I can do If I reupload, YouTube thinks it's new See the bind, Ellen "The Pellen" Pu? Dear lady Ellen Pellen Pu I want to know how much you've viewed So the captions stay forever screwed Please forgive me, Ellen Pellen Pu.

[friendlier]

I adore the original, and I adore this. Hilarity!

[elle350]

German/Swedish,

Okay Swedes?

NO, ITS NOT OKEY Germans

[sneakyninjacrow]

Oh my god, that was funny. Darker And Edgier for the win!

[gastronomist1]

I hope your head is Cryofrozen when you die. You are a genius. So damn funny!!

[StarlaRichter]

Having gotten over my original disgust at what you did to one of my childhood favorites, I must express my current glee. I get such a sick thrill from the comments of people who take your translation seriously. If the first three monstrously sarcastic screens didn't tip them off... then certainly once we reached "Mobubu Glasswalker" (btw... Mobutu) something should have clicked that your translation from the original GERMAN was a little off. YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER MAID LIKE ME!

[StarlaRichter]

@StarlaRichter Long live the MIGHTY SPARROW!

[Newtwist75]

I almost peed myself because I laughed so hard at this video!

[SomeDumbDesertDude]

ROTFLMAO How dare you mess with my childhood girlfriend Pippi? Got any more???

[MariAnKenobi]

Wow. I was amused, but the sweet shop subtitles pushed me over the edge to actual laughing out loud.

Very funny.

[TedNewsom]

VERY funny! But wasn't the German original shot in Swedish? Or was it the other way around? I commend you for your smorgasbord, ooffta ooffta with grossa fjord.

[Dimpfelmoser82]

yeah ... that's indeed swedish ... as I'm German and can't understand a word ;)

[makkatonno]

bellissimo

[onyx86]

Här har apan hängt sina kläder på tork. ASGARV

[speedseduction]

About time someone exposed that Miskatonic little Swedish whore. When do we get installment two? Hail Chthulu!

[CissiECute]

Jag skrek PORRR när Annika åkte ner för trappan. Men jag älskar fortfarande ''Serien''

[aqnbuf]

Everything is swedish, made in sweden.

The lyrics is NOT right in this clip obviously..

[johndayrichter]

This may be my favorite comment yet. This viewer, despite having seen a dozen similar posts, still feels compelled to assert the Swedishness of the original film. But this viewer goes on to boldly claim that EVERYTHING is Swedish. Dogs, nicotine, Alpha Centauri, Canadian bacon, quarks, Lebron James, square dancing, the Italian Renaissance - all Swedish!

My lyrics is not right, obviously. But I daresay that aqnbuf is has the more best lyrics at all!

Obviously.

[flaminco51]

Hey, Pippi is fucking swedish! Not german!

[super8betterasvideo]

The both gangster in the prison (jail) are german actors. The swedish is not lip-sync. It is only lip-sinc in the german version. They originally spoke german.

[Ulkmannen]

Pippi is Swedish, but the movie is a Swedish/German cooperation, if no one has told you that already. =P

[brc3778]

At last the veil is lifted! Keep up the good work. More, please. (Also, I believe the original is in Sanskrit, but your error is understandable given the strain you must be under.) Cthulhu ftaghn!

[MannenQ]

The movie is swedish! not German.

[johndayrichter]

Thank you, Mannen! But sadly, your prize for being the first person to notice this factual error has already been awarded to the 800 people who have already made the same comment.

Better luck next time!

[super8betterasvideo]

The movie is swedish-german or german-swedish, but not 100% swedish.

It is like Princess Viktoria of Sweden. :-)

Or carpet from Ikea. Ikea is swedish, but he carpet is made in Asia. :-)

[Emlili93]

Who said Pippi Långsrump is german?;( They even speak swedish in the film! I'm from sweden and can assure you that this movie is originally swedish!!!

[johndayrichter]

Good eye! Yes, the film is originally in Swedish, not German. I erroneously identified it as German based on a misleading IMDB entry.

Fun fact: I actually speak neither language!

There are 512,832 other factual errors and mistranslations in this film. Can you spot them all?

Show your work.

[Emlili93]

Woohoo, Thats many! Well I haven't seen this since I was about 4,5 or 6 years but I can say that the translation completely wrong! I dont think there is a single word that is correct translated!:P Haha I liked it, but it was hard to cocentrate on the text when you know what the really are saying! (Have you really counted all the errors?)

[super8betterasvideo]

Pippi Longstocking was filmed in swedish and german language. The german actors orginally spoke german while filming the scenes.

[johndayrichter]

--deep sigh devolving to shuddering sobs--

[eifosnosslo]

But Pippi is swedish, not german..

[super8betterasvideo]

Inger Nilson and the other swedish cast originally spoke swedish. the german actors spoke german.

[Indiegirl007]

I was about to say, that the people who made this film, are DISGUSTING. Then I read your disclaimer. XD

You are craaazy. lmao.

[johndayrichter]

Thanks, Indiegirl. There will be more videos in the upcoming months. My sketch comedy group is putting together a new show - we should be ready to post some new stuff in a few weeks.

[Indiegirl007]

Thanks oh so much, keep up the good work! XD

[yumyumkarl]

takk:D vekker barndoms minner også på svensk beste..legg ut på flere da??pusilusken er så dum

[johndayrichter]

Thanks for the helpful comment, Karl! I don't speak Norwegian, but Google translate tells me you said: "D turns ancestral memories also in Swedish best .. post for more then? Pusilusken is so stupid."

First, I agree. Pusilusken, whatever it is, is totally stupid. Unless it means "me", in which case, you wound me sir.

Secondly, you may be correctly pointing out that the original language is actually Swedish, not German. Consider this a formal apology.

Finally, I intend to post more some day.
