  • its pretty crappy.. i know.. please, dont watch it!

  • Without considering audio issues and the problem of unidiomatic subtitles, this clip still sucks relatively hard.

    If you must translate something Danish, translate something which is actually funny and has relevance to people outside of Jutland.

  • @bastian13forty3 well.. the short answer.. no.

  • @notsoseriousanymore I think to make english people grasp the colloquial connotations in humor you'd have to perform a cultural paradigm shift, which can't be done! These kind of translation videos are made by people who don't understand that language is far more than just the actual words. Puns and word plays such as "nossefeen" are good examples of this problem. The mere direct translation doesn't do anything for the context.

  • Translating colloquial standup into english is rather like trying to translate the lyrics for an unknown song in order to teach people the melody itself ... it cannot be done!

  • very funny in danish its translated bad and thats one of Denmarks greates comideans

  • @bastian13forty3 funny in danish my friend

  • This isnt great comedy. For me its ok cause I understand danish, but for ppl just reading the subtitles it must be worthless.

  • I found it absolutely hilarious, and I don't speak a word of Dansk

  • Frank Hvam isnt a good representative of danish comedy, he can be funny at times but he only has his status because of his television career.

  • @AroundThePony me either, i tryied to watch it ( whitout sound ) and only read the text and it sucked

  • @zaptor32 than i don`t see the point of translating it.
