- Dylan Moran on a Norwegian chat show, 14.10.2005.
In the intro the host says something like: Next up is Irish, Dylan Moran, one of Europes hottest comedians at the moment. He's also appeared in television series and movies such as Notting Hill. He is in Norway to do shows in Oslo and Bergen this weekend. Here is a clip of Dylan Moran on the stage.
He is appearing together with the current Norwegian Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance and the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development.
Sorry about the choppy sound between minutes 6 and 7 - but what she said is so ridiculous that it's probably for the best..

I've never seen him more comfortable in any of his other interviews. The man breathes irony. "Too dry here"... they didn't even know what hit em!
I'm not saying Dylan is an 'act', but its a real joy to see him never breaking character; ie. staying in the 'bit' even in the absence of laughs. You never hear him saying "That was a joke", for example.
he answers every question gracefully and catastrophically!
Oh my god Dylan was so quick and surreal in this one, it's both painful and hilarious to watch the host - along with everyone else - trying to get a hold of him. A bit like this whole thing was a show, something like the Office.
They didn't stand a chance 😄
YOU CAN TELL HOW WELL A COUNTRY IS DOING BY THE LACK OF HUMOR IT PRODUCES AND RECEIEVES
Poor Dylan was stuck in some very, very dull company there :/
I thought they took it very well actually, they are speaking their second language here too.
Lmao, Dylan 'The Tradition of walking around, it's fantastic' That woman was talking some shite
I simply love his weird interviews and how awkward his excellent sense of humour makes other people (like a few boring politicians). They don't know what to say or how to react! Most of the time his brilliant comments don't get appreciated. Love him!
Irish sarcasm obviously doesn't travel well.
I thought they were pretty good sports, somethings lost in translation inevitably! Host definitely seeing the funny side of it
Wow, the Irish humour really went over their serious Nordic heads
Dylan's style of humor is not very irish at all, its very weird in Ireland which is why people like it
+St Malky it seems pretty Irish to me. this is how we love to do banter. English comedians are usually up their arses
I like Norway I'm irish they are very intelligent people really kind but a lot of the bad in Norway is hidden like alcohol addiction n stuff
Didn't you notice people laughing? :)
No, we get it; we love Irish and English humor. Norwegian humor is in fact itself not that different; they're all rather dark. But the people you see here talking with Dylan are all doing it in their third language, and as such it complicates the flow and the dynamic of the subtleties. These things forces their reaction and comeback to be slow and conservative.
Having said that, though, Dylan wiped the floor with them. Loved it. :)
i love how the norwegians can accept him on the show and talk our language, we would never get a french person here and speak to them in french on tv. (in britain i mean)
my faviorite talk show and favorite comedien of all time
I feel so bad for Dylan Moran - he really can't break out of Great Britain or Ireland. The rest of Europe didn't really work, US didn't work - but it seems ironically he did find a home for himself in Canada. It really sucks he can't just be universally relatable. I reckon his humour is really literate so obviously non native English speakers and the US can't get into that.
God I hope he's doing well.
+Ron Voldman Why is it "ironic" that Dylan Moran is a success in Canada? Our sense of humour is in some ways closer to British humour than American humour. We're drier and less punchline heavy than American comedy.
fearlesssockpuppet If you say so. I'm Canadian too, and I've yet to understand the colours of our culture. I agree that Canada is very much a meeting of American and British cultures, so we might be a perfect hybrid of that.
the "and the US" was redundant, Americans seem to regard the English language as something to attempt even if they are "native speakers".
I am from Croatia and I think he is very funny.
I've never met a Finn who didn't think he was funny. 😁 Sure, we're not a big country but a part of "the rest of Europe".
He was so in the flow! But damn that host is boring, Dylan is such a genius.
"We all do, don't we, think about becoming better peope ... Yet here we are." Great stuff lol
i loved the oil fountain and eating herring line.
In his show the next day Dylan talked abit about this show. I'm paraphrasing: " How does a politician become successful. You recently got your new guy Jens. I beat him up after that show. It got very ugly. There was an armwrestling match and an oyster bar. But he seemed essentially decent to me. He's got a tattoo of a geisha eating a kebab on his thigh."
"and yet, here we are"
I love, love, LOVE Dylan Moran! Thanks for putting this up!
When art is more political than politics ...
Caught his show in stockholm. I thought I would die from laughter. Funniest commedian right now definetly!
I agree you can see (and hear) a lot of what Dylan is saying flying way over peoples heads.
Its almost painful to watch, yet amazingly hypnotic.
Wooow, haha he's totally running them over and they don't even seem to know it x) love it. Too bad they don't understand the indirect way of joking he does
He has quite a strong accent, you know ...
+sealbones No, no he doesn't. Are you american?
Wow, patronising.
This comment actually makes me want to be nicer to Americans, though, which I think is a positive thing. So thanks.
It's patronising only because Americans are the only people I've ever met who will insist on not understanding you, if you have even a vague accent. I know chinese, French and German non-native English speakers who are fine with this. Dylan Moran has a very mild accent, for comparison, go listen to Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein MP, or for a southern accent, Dara o'Briain.
Yes, thanks, I have in fact heard both speak before. You're right, their accents are stronger than Dylan's (though Dara Ó Briain not _so_ much). The point is not that he has a particularly strong accent relative to other Irish people, it's that he has an accent which deviates quite markedly from SSBE or GenAm, which is what most second-language speakers will have been exposed to.
You know non-native English speakers who don't struggle with regional accents - so do I. I also know plenty who do.
Dylan was too quick for them 😁
"..but we all do, we all think of becoming better people." - looks him straight in the eyes. wow .. to have had this filmed. i'm jealous.
You can almost see the exact moment he thinks "ok, these people are painfully boring, let's just take the piss" I think it's around the time the guy pronounces his name wrong :) I think he's a brilliant role model for kids!
This is the challenge: To remain funny while everyone around you is poker-faced, humourless, doesn't get any of your jokes and keeps leading you back to another boring area of conversation.
I'm norwegian, and I love dylan moran. Never watched this episode before though even though I've seen this show many times.
I we was gonna say something negative about Norway but I won't cause it's wrong and the Vikings
why did they give this host a show? He is the most sanctimonious snivel.
Isn't this the guy who played David in Shaun of the Dead who got his stomach ripped open by zombies???
"I hope I am" gets the best reaction from the audience. And the look on Dylan's face seems to say 'surely I can get better laugh than that?'. He's unlucky; I'm not saying that Norwegians are unfunny but they don't seem to get his humour in this instance. The amount of times he says 'em' after a joke falls flat is a shame because he's a comic genius. Ah well Dylan, we were laughing.
That was just awesome, what made it funny was that it obviously wasn't a comedy orientated show... and he didn't care. He was there for laughs, and he won 'em from those who mattered... the audience. It was priceless seeing the awquard looks from the politicians and show host as well! Love Dylan!!
Sadness is humor in viking republic of Norway.
Naw seriously don't believe that
i want to see the rest of the show...!
I don't know that the audience didn't understand, maybe they were just thinking about what he said. He probably has a following if he's doing a stand up tour there.
Wow, what a dimwitted hosts 😳
Dylan was so spot on and humorous and witty and they couldn't even grasp half of what he said. Did they forget they called a comedian as their guest?
Man, they didn't understand half of his jokes. I'm sitting here laughing my head off when the Norwegians are sitting stil with straight faces.
Moran is a good, honest bloke.
Dylan's humor is surreal and more complicated than people know. Really, not many people outside the UK or Ireland would understand it, even smart people like the Norwegians.
@tonyjacksons What's going on next year? Is he performing somewhere?
Jeg kan ikke tro at Dylan Moran har vert på tv her med statsministeren og jeg ikke har fått det med meg. Han er favoritt komikeren min. Takk for at du lasta klippet opp.
After the first few seconds of that guy talking in Norwegian, I half expected the camera to cut to Dylan Moran, going, "Uh nope, didn't catch any of that..."
Does Dyland speak norwegian? I wouldnt understand how he would do shows in norway if the first language isnt english
Okay, you get it wrong. Us scandinavians we don´t act like we are in a funeral, it´s our natural awkwardness that just wont let us act like normal function humans. Unles we are very drunk. welcome to Finland! :)
Got to wonder why he was there. Those people were quite serious, but Im glad Dylan could inject satire in every topic.
Thanks for uploading!!
This is painful
Kawakeb Astra
Yeah. It's painful - but it's a dry pain.
+whynottalklikeapirat I dont know i thought it was cool, the norwegians had no idea how to deal with him saying ridiculous stuff.
Odon Flanagan
Ok. Coolly painful then.
Or in the words of Ford Fairlane: "Like masturbating with a cheese grater: Slightly amusing but mostly painful".
Or in the words of St. Thomas Aquinas: "Just awkward".
Yeah, I always love it when they bring comedians onto politicians shows, they never hold back :P
Dylan moran should be on more talk shows.I like also the way he was funny while actually flattering n not offending anyone.
How could you expect someone in politics to understand jokes in a foreign language in a particularly strange dialect?? Dylan was spot on though, lol, "I think you need a minister for problems," I was there in September and it was running absolutely perfectly. Great place, great comedian. :]
As a Norwegian this is quite embarrassing to watch. Dylan Moran is one of my favorites.
At least the audience gets it! :)
It's just a joke we Irish know you are very educated and we love you truly
Wow. Respect Moran for handling that one.
Norwegians have a very different sense of humour it seems, and a very different way of interviewing people. The host seems to be trying to get Dylan to make jokes about Norway and Ireland, while also deflecting serious questions from the politicians. It also has a weird sort of intervention flavour to it. I mean, who says to a guest on their show 'Have you ever considered giving up smoking?' that's like something the doctor says! Madness...
We use a different geographical naming system in Norway.
For example, England for the entire British Isles.
Scotland is Northern England,
Wales is Western England,
Cornwall is South-Western England,
Ireland is Trans-Irish Sea England.
This makes it a lot easier, we only have to say England when you people have to remember alot of complicated geographical names.
The interviewer is very clumsy, which makes Dylan look even more brilliant. I like his prejudices about Norway as a country with 0 problems, that's kind of how us Swedes think as well (even though we too live in a rather privileged country). There's kind of swedish joke about Norwegians saying something unfortunate, like "my mom died yesterday." That sentence would with the melody of the Norwegian language sound to us as if it was a very delightful experience (:
I LOVE how awkward this is. Its just brilliant. And now I can learn "pubic hair" in Norwegian and shock my (rather conservative) Norwegian relatives. Good times. :P
As a norwegian...agree! Thank God I'm one of the few outsiders. :P
Anyone else hear a weird alien voice for about a minute near the end?
Hahahahahaha and Irishman vs. Norweigian.. he's a step ahead of them all to the way
It was embarrassing to watch jayus the Irish are light years ahead also like the English
haha dylan clearly does not want to talk about politics and doesnt know anything about it or care for that matter but i love the way he goes along with it anyway. And the audience finding the interviewers "i hope i am" about the role model thing funnier than anything dylan says is completely obsurd and they obviously have a very bad sense of humor there. Dylan is my role model! cheers for uploading
Agree with most of what ceara619rocks says except "Plus I'd say most of the audience doesn't even speak English. " As a native English speaker having lived 20 years in Norway, I can testify that the proficiency of most Norwegians to speak English actually hinders one's progress to learn Norwegian.
Haha, brilliant. Must say your idea appeals to me quite a bit :P
whats "smeg"??
Why on earth is Dylan on a show with these people?
I can't wait to see him next year
Um, no. The norwegian words for Britain and England aren't the same. We have separate words. Storbritannia (Great Britain) and England (England). So. The subtitles are incorrect.
Anyone notice that when he says "Britain and Ireland" the subtitles say "England and Ireland"
Think they state England and Irland?
any links to new stuff
Jesus. That was the most awkward thing I've ever seen!
Poor Dylan.
Engelsk? Feel free to tell me I'm wrong, I honestly don't know any Norwegian really and you seem to be joking around anyway.
I agree it is impressive on the Norwegians part, but Dylan Moran isn't drunk in this clip. It's just his way of speaking, which is shared by many Irish people.
what is Smeg?
@NoHiddenNames please explain in norwegian
Hillarious man. Glad to see that translates around europe. Dylan Moran promotes a bit of a free...er society while plastering it with sarcasm and undertones of satire.
i wish he would come on some irish or british talk shows ,that was hillarious seemed to go completly over their heads,does anyone have the episode of johnaton ross in uk ,he made a bollocks of him ,used to be on youtube x
Is it just me or does it sound like they actually got offended by what Dylan says?
Come on guys,, he is a comedian, he talks crap and bags on people for a living
Don't take him to serious, I would laugh the whole interview through
yes i felt it too there was a bit of an awkward semi serious silence after he said jokes lol mmm bit difficult company he was in.
Miss Snuggle Bunny They're not offended _ just politicians. I prefer their reaction to UK/Irish politicians' fake laughs.
You jammy dodger..He's an absolute legend..Did he do all new material or old stuff?
Good aul Irish sarcasm, so good the rest of the world just doesnt get it
So true (about politicians having dry humor, if any)! If the Norwegians are straight, then the Irish are especially curvy-- though not as much these days really. Since the Irish economy has taken off the Irish are much more straight & orderly. Dylan Moran is somewhere between those two worlds, and it's a sort of shock to see how it goes. Best wishes to you and all in Norway. We do envy you your civilized civil society!
It wasn´t a bad interview. Very decent. I would love to hear more about monogamy thing - at the end.)
He's a brilliant man
the person who invited him to the show must have had a real laugh!
@empoeta It was a brand of kitchen items back in the 70s or something. Those big, bulky, roundish fridges and such.
Why do they translate Britain as 'England'(3 times!)
We would'nt translate Scandanavia as Sweden!
Surely the difference is commonly understood?
How do interviewers ever get these jobs, they seem completely clueless, no, more than clueless. They should just blink out of existence. But Dylan outclassed them once more!
this is the best Norway has to offer my friend.
This is absolutely NOT the best Norway has to offer. And thank God he doesn't have a job as a host anymore. He is terrible.
fucking hilarious. what in the name of blue jasus is that one on about in her 40 minute monologue?
isn't it a brand?
@Cody111079 yeah I'm seeing him in Newcastle, I assume it's a full tour
its only the older people like they who talk in that clip who talk bad english, but all younger people who speak english talk exactly like all other english talking people do
I sincerely hope people don´t think all norwegians are like this. Some of us actually do have a sense of humor.
Like everybody on the Emerald Isle is a joy to be around.
Dylan Moran is an absolute genius - he is so quick and witty. I want to marry him!
Ah, Norway! Land of mountains and fjords and trolls! And Edvard Munch. And home of the most famous parrot in comedy history - the Norwegian Blue!
yea thats true and dylan set him up for that joke too. What a horribley tough interview he did real well considering how tough it was.
i love him and he rocked this
"we're going to talk about monogamy now"
"err, ok"
haha!
Good on him!-brutally honest as always.Thank god he says what he thinks. Refreshingly funny.
He's a real Meath man, I'm a Dub, but he's after reminding me of some people I've met from Meath, good lads, sound, funny, but miserable.
this is genuinely fucking painful to watch. jesus. props to dylan for continuing on.
holy shit. I thought satan was trying to connect with me at the end there. no more 420.
Veldig merkelig intervju.....
he's fantastic
Oh Dylan you are my role model :D
