I don't know, self-irony and helping individuals is more of our thing. Us Finns are most helpful people there are. As a nerd I like to help some newbies"noobs" or new players to get them started, it doesn't take any of my time and they basically just stand there in games. I don't speak for all, but I like to help people. If I have an opportunity to help someone I usually take it. I have to say I hate the mass immigration though, that doesn't remove the problems it just moves them.

I can't refer to any sources, so I will be just as good as the rest of them, but in my opinion as a Norwegian there are two main reasons. Geographically they are (for the most part except far north) separated from the rest by a large ocean. Their language does not originate from the same origin meaning the people originates from different places. In the northern parts of sweeden, Norway and Finland the bloodlines are more intertwined and the languages spoken by the native people more similar (sami) Denmark is also separated, but trade has always been better because they were more connected with the continent, thus they could provide better goods. Norway has always been the poorest of the Scandinavian countries until post ww2 erea.

true. quite accurate, although "scandinavia" is not defined by geography, but by the three countries of norway, denmark and sweden, (exactly because of what you so beautifully wrote) which is why finland has not been scandinavian since the creation of the grand duchy of finland under russia. let me just quote wikipedia here, for any who will seek to claim otherwise "Skandinavia er tradisjonelt et begrep for den geografiske regionen som utgjøres av de tre monarkiene Danmark, Norge og Sverige."

stiras1 It's you calling it a "disorder", I used it to describe a basic personality trait. The fact that it is 2016 or that 200 years has passed is rather irrelevant, at least if you understood my point. Large areas of what you call Scandinavia (such as Stockholm or Köpenhamn) has about as little, or as much, to do with the origin of the name as Finland has. The distinction is synthetic. In England and UK, Island/Iceland is often considered Scandinavian, due to it's Norwegian background and cultural ties. Denmark is usually included, but not always (although more often than in Germany). Many cultural concepts are floating or changing in usage. (Yes, Scandinavia is as much about culture as it is about geography.) You and I argue about this, other people argue over whether some part of Turkey or Russina should be considered European or Asian, or both, and so on. My point is that there is no definitive answers. Those militant attempts of exact _borderline_ definitions are seldom natural, but political, often in an attempt to make people forget about their actual history. Some Germans, Dutch or English people may not have gone through the same brainwash as you, so why be so arrogant about what they say?

@stiras1

Sven Ekeberg It is a disorder not a personality trait, and using it in such a context implies that it's bad which is an insult to people who actually do have Asperger. I have not been brainwashed, I just know what countries are in Scandinavia. People who think Finland is part of it are not brainwashed just ignorant or too stubborn to accept things as they are. You can argue all you want about how Finland "should" be seen as part as Scandinavia, but it doesn't change the fact that it's not.

Actually as a Scandinavian it is a bit tiring how British people always have to make fun of the raping and pillaging. It is like every time you meet a brit they are going to crack some joke about that. I guess it is like Germans might get tired of all the Nazi jokes after a while. It isn't to be party pooper, but it is slightly annoying when you know Viking culture was so much more. Vikings were big on trade and exploration. Vikings had well developed legal system, a lot of gender equality, pretty progressive laws regarding crime and punishment. And for being such a poor and small society the Vikings had an amazingly well developed literary tradition. I'll give kudos to the Irish though. They often seem amazingly well informed on Vikings though and don't have quite the British cartoon view of Vikings.

Actually it's a rather common misconception that the vikings wore horned helmets. They also didn't pillage that much, other than the occasional war and such when expanding. They were actually pretty good traders that traveled the waters all the way down to the Mediterranean sea and adjacent countries.

its a very modern misconception that vikings did not pillage that much. Because they did. A lot. You know they sacked paris.. twice.. yes? They tried to attack Istanbul three times. Istanbul is not exactly close to scandinavia.

Did they pillage? Yes. But in actuality an English knight was probably more likely to be a rapist than a Viking. There are many accounts of knights kidnapping a woman and “forcing a marriage”. On the Viking side we have several accounts from English monks complaining about how the Scandinavian men constantly groomed themselves and how they seduced English women. The whole Vikings being particularly rapey thing was likely either medieval propaganda, or made up by Victorians (like the horned helmets and a whole lot of other stuff)

It depends what country. Denmark were more the warring type. Swedes mainly traded. And Norwegians explored mostly, so it was mix of war vs exploration, which also explains Iceland

He has the best laugh in the world!

More British comedians need to make an appearance in Conan's show. Both the host and the guest seem to have a good laugh and looks so much fun. Conan and Jimmy Kimmel are decent talk show hosts. The only two American hosts I like and thoroughly enjoy watching their late night talk shows. .

1:58 Vikings never had horns on their helmets

lol "thousands of years ago"

I was there in gothenburg. just awesome

Such a great "bit"... and when another comedian/entertainer is THAT tickled by it, you know the idea is a great and novel joke.

"Raping hat." 😂😂😂😂

I’m a Swede living in the US... I forgot my raping hat over there... so sad. 😔

2:35 Maybe that's why Viking Helmets (other than a few ceremonial ones) do NOT have horns...

Ricky is the man!

Finland isn't in Scandinavia

"sweet-talked the Swedes"? Scandinavia in general, right? Btw, in Vikings they brought so-called shield maidens once. Skjoldmø in Danish.

Ahh man I laughed so hard.. love Ricky

Hahah, Denmark is a great country, I enjoyed my time there. Very friendly people.

It would be hard to describe geographically without doing that, The vikings themselves did not call them self neither danes or vikings. Sweon or Sweoland and Ghotia on the contrary did exist. Todays Svealand and Götaland in sweden. Denemearcan was Denmark, Thats facts from stories from 900 ad and writings on runstones..

Oh dear god. No, they came from Sweoland, Vendel an Gothia, wich is todays Sweden. I dont think the word scandinavia exist back then either. So what should we call their homeland? Can you speak norse? So you cant call people native americans? the word america was invented by europeans. But the word sweden was inveted by viking descendants.

Conan's reaction at 2:38 is priceless
