Yes but look at the comments, Finnish people are finding it very amusing indeed after all these years since it was broadcast on Finnish television. I always refer to "Skigge Böy" when I hear Danish spoken, everyone knows what I mean.

edit. They are not just making fun of Danish language but Danish people in general.

Yes but I think they are making too much of the differences there. You guys pretty much speak the same language. Finns on the other hand are outside of the Scandinavian language circle. Well not entirely since we are forced to learn a dialect of Swedish called Finnish-Swedish.

We Finns think it makes the rest of Scandinavia accept us as "part of them". How stupid we are.

trekchu,

what do you mean? It's ****ing hilarious. Or are you like the humour-Gestapo?

Short answer: No. Long answer **** no.



Extra long answer: No, I do not find this funny. Mainly because its not my sort of 'comedy', and because I know danish isn't like that.

Other than Afghanistan has Germany EVER followed the US into a war?

That is just one in a long line of nonsensical claims, August. The human mind is a truely amazing generator of randomness when all logical and critical thought processes are suspended.

By that logic Finland would be our minion because they followed us into Operation Barbarossa.

Well then it's too bad because Germany doesn't give orders to Finland anymore, you see those times were in the 40's and are no longer. Freedom of speech, and stuff? Any of this stuff ring a bell?

I also find it a little sad that Germans should find Monty Python and British humour funny considering how the Brits constantly deride the Germans and not in a particularily funny or benign way. But hey, have it your way.
