No no. The Icelanders got the whole "Learn danish so that you can speak to all the scandis" thing just right. Cause Ari speaking "danish" just sounds like a mix between norwegian and swedish anyways, so mission accomplished.

it actually sounds like finnish when he talks danish, the cadence and pronounciation of it all.

I am not even nordic but I enjoyed it. Greetings from Southamerica!!

This guy is brilliant.

Icelanders hassling Danes about how they speak is a new genre of comedy to me, but I don’t think it will ever get old.

That mosquito joke just kills me!

And what’s even funnier is that “Ei” means “no” in Finnish, so he’s really saying “No, mosquito!!”

Sometimes it's hard for me to know the difference between Swedish and Norwegian but the bit about the high pitch is so true, and is what I use to know the difference !

As a Swede, I can say Norwegian sounds absolutely adorable to us. I don't know if non-nordics can hear that.

@@Aethuviel Well, I haven't gotten around to learn any Norwegian (yet - I do know a wee bit of Swedish and started to learn Finnish about six years ago). But as Sisu, the big one of my two toms is ~50% Maine Coon and - wait for it - ~50% Norwegian Forest cat (and yes, he's as fucking huge as you might expect), I'd like to be able to chat with him in the language his ancestors may have been able to meow fluently. :-)

Very funny guy. I wish he would tour the US. Woo many comics here get their jokes out of the sewer.

Yep. I'm a German native speaker from Austria who dabbles in learning Finnish for about six years, but as far as I can tell, he absolutely nailed it. :-) (I'd even go as far to say that at least he got the dry Finnish humour part down pat.)

Apparently he is working on a comedy routine with Stefan Karl or Robbie Rotten!

Anybody could give me a translation for "Framsognardanska"? I could infer that it is some kind of "Danish" from the "-danska" at the end (well, duh), but I'm at a complete loss with the rest. I sadly don't speak any Nordic language except about 3-5 words in Finnish (and probably might manage to sound _very_ remotely Finnish after a having consumed a significant enough amount of Russian antifreeze.)

There used to be a political party in Iceland called "Framsóknarflokkurinn" ('fram-sókn' ≈ forward-seeking, 'flokkur'≈party), which is politically in the centre, but had its followers mainly in the rural areas dominated by farmers. I think the term 'Framsóknardanska´ has its origin as a derogatory word for the kind of Scandinavian muddle talked by politicians on official business who had had their schooling in the rural areas and which is basically grammatically correct Danish but nearly completely spoken with Icelandic pronounciation.
