It used to be even more popular, I'd say the 80s and 90s Sweden reached peak comedy, since then it's been declining severely, but still some semblance of humor exists in Sweden to this day. I'd personally say that for pure comedy, the 90s humor group killinggänget made the best humor, it was over the top, and NileCity105,6 was the best humor show ever created. It spawned our greatest comedic talents, like Robert Gustafsson, Johan Rheborg, Henrik Schyffert... etc. And the best characters in Swedish TV History, such as the roles portrayed by Robert Gustafsson; Fred Asp and the ferret Göran, Greger Hawkwind... or Glenn Killing(Henrik Schyffert) or Percy Nilegård(Johan Rheborg)... Then we had the more surrealistic Galenskaparna och After Shave... And these days we have Grotesco, but still, I wouldn't say that anyone is as loved or appreciated as Robert Gustafsson is, after all he is our greatest Comedian, and a great singer. Other than that, we had Robert Broberg, a lyrical genius and a musical comedian before it really was popularized, I mean not the first one, as that's American Tom Lehrer, from which the term Tomfoolery comes from. I'd say that while we enjoy Satire in Sweden, I'd say our sense of humor has truly worsened with the years, however despite knowing the name of over 50 Swedish comedians, I'd say that our Comedy is lackluster, and while we used to have the world's darkest sense of humor, these days our sense of humor is borderline can't joke about anything, especially nothing that is inherently funny. But the true geniuses of Swedish entertainment, were Hasse Andersson and Tage Danielsson. And I guess most people born before the 80s would agree with that statement.

It's the epitomy of silly stupid reasoning, and every halfwhit in Sweden knows this song.😄 Sadly, this song is like 10 or 14 years old, and Putin and other people actually sincerely suggest gay people are a danger to society. So this comedy, takes on a very real and sinister mening in 2023. (The Grotesco humor group also made an introductory parody song to teh Russian contribution to the Europen song festival about that same time, which actually made the Russian embassy complain to the foreign department. As if the department has any influence over television in Sweden?!! This ain't Putin's Russia!

This comedy group, 'Grotesco', is actually the spiritual successor of an older group from the 80s, called 'Galenskaparna och After Shave'. Roughly translated to 'The Follies and After Shave'. They were the most successful comedy group in Swedish history, producing several movies, TV-shows, theater revues etc. Some of them might have been subtitled here on KZread if you wanna look into it.

Och eftersom enbart kanske 5% av befolkningen har förståelse för hur man kan bli rik, och 95% är avundsjuka, men har ingen lust till att ta risker, så är det ju inte konstigt att vi är världens mest beskattade land... och vi går ner på knä för staten, för att visa vår uppskattning, innan vi vänder oss om och blir tagna i baken, och sedan skiter dem på oss och allt vi kan göra är att gå till systemet för att glömma bort vårat elände...

"Bad habits among youngsters everything before transcend." An attempt was made I guess.😅

This is such a perfect satire about how we blame other groups of people out of fear 🙂 Sweden is a very grounded and satirical in their thinking kind of people, most people here think it is just silly that anyone would even care about what sexual or religious orientation another person has, they are just people, let them do with their free time or feel how they want as long as no1 else gets hurt 🙂 Unfortunately that open attitude has faltered a bit since the former nazi party "Sweden democrats" was voted in the parliament, but most people here still have the "live and let live" attitude

Satire is huge in Sweden. We love it

This song is soo catchy, a regular on my friend groups pre parties

This is a satire of evangelical christians specifically. Sweden had a state church all the way from the reformation up until very recently. The state church "Svenska kyrkan" as they are still called, have been quite progressive and accept gay priests as well as performing gay weddings. The evangelical movement is Sweden is a whole topic in itself, but I'll give a quick summary: "Frikyrkor" (free churches, or free congregations) are religious congregations that started to emerge in the late 1800's and were allowed to separate from the the state church in the early 1900's The free congregations come in the usual flavours ranging from pretty lame to outright doomsday cults, and some of them, especially the pentacostals, are quite inspired by the white evangelical movement in the USA.

My grandmother knew this song and always pulled it as a joke when something went wrong in the world :D

As a Swedish gay I endorse this message. Satan himself isn’t to blame, everything’s my fault. Now. Let’s get back to vibing to the anthem of Swedish gays

The song is very true to when gospel music found its way into white churches. Kudos to whoever translated this, it was really well done to get rhyming in while keeping at least 90% of the message and connotations.

You’ve found our national anthem! 😂

2:33 "The Eurovision song contest just NEVER seems to end!", well, the gays probably are to blame for that one 😂

This song makes me think of "Blame Canada"...don´t get me wrong I did like this satire song when it first come out...but I like "Blame Canada" more.😂🤣🤣😇

A great song from a great tv show. I have felt it was a bit of a homage to one of the earliest comedy groups. Well, two groups actually Galenskaparna och After Shave. They made a lot of great shows and movies in the late 80ies and early 90ies. And the one I think Grotesko made an homage to is from the movie "Hajen som viste för mycket" or "The shark who knew to much". The movie pokes fun at the stock traders' newly rich yuppies of that era. The song is called "Himmelen har skänkt oss alibi" or "The Heavens has granted us alibi". It's a fraternity of these people singing about how the problems in the world have nothing to do with them because, you guessed it, they have an alibi. I have included two links to it, one is a clip from he movie, and as you can see its fairly similar both in style and tone. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYJ13MiRY8nSmtY.html The other is just the audio from the group's youtube: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6iBmM2Hnai9ldo.html I hope you enjoy it =)

"Vi har ju ingen lokal"

I did once have a legit reason for singing this: the Pride parade was messing up the buses and I was late to my god friend’s party (filled with gays). They laughed so hard when I finally made it!

Where is Malaysia are you located? I live in Singapore lol

Every Swede know this song by heart. It's from a time when humour was still legal and the left had not yet destroyed the country.

someone was on acid when they made those lyrics.

I am happy that free speech lives and thrives in Sweden. They have always been at the forefront. Would this be acceptable anywhere else? Britain perhaps?

Curious, did you catch the Priests "look" and how he stroked the kids shoulder? That hint/joke is so satire and perfect in the song/video. Also the guy in the front, the "priest", is just bald, haha.
