As an American I really enjoy checking out Norwegian commercials because they are so different to the ones here in America. Today I am very excited to see these hilarious commercials from Norway for the first time. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
The advertisement with the doll hare as a baker is based on a children's song every Norwegian knows from the story about Hakkebakkeskogen (In the Forest of Huckybucky) by the Norwegian author and poet Thorbjørn Egner. In the song, the hare adds a kilo instead of a teaspoon of pepper. Opplysningen 1881 (Information 1881) is a company that provides information about telephone numbers etc. in the Norwegian market. Many have called the information just for fun to get answers to all sorts of questions - in the case of the hare, it wants information about how much pepper there should be in the gingerbread dough.
Huckybucky💀
On Finn you can find pretty much everything. Travel, jobs, houses, stuff, workers, anything and everything.
I love it
It's the Norwegian answer to Craigslist basically
furniture, single lego figures XD
Someone was even selling their wife! Truly a place for everyone and every hobby😊
Finn translates to Find
Finn (eng: Find) - started as an online "used item for sale" service a bit similar to craigslist. It has since expanded to a place to find professional services (carpenters, plumbers and what not) as well as travel. It is by far the most popular site of its kind in Norway and used by many since it is free if you are doing private sales.
Finn - even though it means Find in English - is also a name. Thus the cat - "Finn" or "Puse-finn" has become sort of like a mascot. It would be somewhat similar if Craigslist would have made a commercial with a dog named "Craig".
In Norway we Even have an own award called "Gullfisken" (the gold fish) that find the best comercials every month of the year. They get a Silver fish, and the winner of the 12 best get a gold fish and 1M NOK to make more comercials.
I think there are very strict rules for what you can say about your product, all statements are scrutinized and exaggeration is punished severely, so companies more often use humor to make their product visible, rather than making dubious statements about the product
This is the second time you see the Tine commercial and both of those times you don't get what it is based on the music
Dogs are usually portrayed as helpful. Cat is funnier.
I live in Norway about 10 years. Finn means find. They say here "if it's not on Finn, it doesn't even exist". You can find houses, cars, musical instruments, small jobb offers, flying tickets and much more. It's definitely a hub of everything for sale here.
4:33 i mean that ones actually clever since sloths are generally slow, and you saw how that sloth moved through the store
For context with the cat watching the angry man on tv: There is a show called "Sinnasnekke'n" ("the angry carpenter") where he and his team goes to peoples homes and helps them renovate and gets angry at how incompetent they are. The people why apply are usually people who are mid renovation, but are just terrible at doing it and probably have been in the limbo of being mid renovation for a long time. There is usually also some bad communication between the couple (it's usually a married couple with kids)
FINN is lots of difereent cathegories. Travel, selling random stuff, property market (selling houses and rentals), job hunting, small jobs (carpenter, plumber etc), and so much more.
that cat is named Finn, he is kinda the company mascot
On Finn . You can buy houses, cars .......everything
Same as american craigslist. Not sure if he mentions it as I haven’t watched yet
My favorite commercial by far is one of babies representing different types of milk, it`s from 1991, and it`s still as cute as ever!
I would guess the difference in commercial quality is based in how happy the producers are to make them...
finn is for.
- buying used stuff
- buying/renting houses/apartments
- getting a job
- travel stuff
- hiring people, like plumbers
it's like craigslist, but less shady.
Think he should see some commercials for Kondomeriet. I think he would die 😂
Finn is the Norwegian equivalent of Craig's List/eBay + a lot of extra
We love our Finn cat, beatyfull and fun. A real cat❤
If it is possible to buy, it's on Finn
You know Jens Stoltenberg has been head of NATO for ten years. He was supposed to resign several years ago, but the alliance, and especially the US, refused him to step down. Yes, the guy driving taxi.
btw, the gingerbread one refers to a Norwegian song/children's story. They mix up the recipe for gingerbread (in Norwegian "pepperkake" which literally means "pepper cake")
Further note about pepperkake/pepper cake - it likely got this name not because of pepper specifically, but because spices were in general referred to as "pepper" way back when, in a time where those kinds of imported goods were more exotic and very expensive and not something used everyday.
Norwegian commercials usually have a really catchy jingle that you never get out of your head.
finn dot n o
atten åtti en
riis bilglass null nitti null ni
We had a thing. Not sure we still have it. Called gullfisken "Goldfish" that was a an award for best commercial.
Took me a while to realize that Finn is find in Norwegian. So i guess they have several web sites for finding almost anything.
I think perhaps the cat is the "Finn" company mascot to some degree.
You can also see a simular looking wet one on their webpage if something fails to load.
Along side the error message of "Sorry. There is some mess in machinery now. Try again in a bit."
The word translates to "Find". They originally started out as a 3rd party trade company where users could organize trades to anyone interested. (Kind of like Amazon or Ebay)
But they eventually expanded to also look for travel arrangements, work arrangements, and other branches. I don't have a good overview of their total scope at this point honestly.
We had the whiskas ad a few years ago in Australia
It’s so funny to watch cuz I am Norwegian and when I see you reacting you like think it’s funny and stuff but when we listen to music in school and a ad comes up we literally don’t have a reaction at all like it’s just normal for us😂😂😂🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It is very common for residents of, for example, the EU to visit other countries. For example, during holidays, and also to work for a shorter time. Everyone I hang out with and meet naturally has a passport. I know it's not that common in the US.
And everyone has enough vacation to actually go abroad. Of course, even with five weeks vacation I would not look down an on American that makes it a thing to do the 50 states in 50 years....
@@57thorns Many people in the United States, firmly claim that the United States is the best country on earth. No one describes in what way, nor what facts lie behind this so definite statement! Of course we, outside the US, think such statements are childish.
Try to see if you can find out about Gullfisken (Goldfish), there you will find the answer why Norwegian commercial are funny. :)
and yes norwegians have very lucid and trippy commercials lol
There are people getting hurt....... it's ok to sell weapons to kids and violent grown ups... but people getting hurt by falling is not ok😂
The Finn commercials are good fun but are there anyone who know of a compilation of the Telenor commercials about mobile phones and all things you can do by them, it started with a boy, he has grown up, dated, married, now has kids, in the latest he is victim of crooks breaking into his phone ans stealing info, pics... It has evolved over the years, quite a story really. Could be fun to watch Tyler watch it.
Any day with a sloth in it is a good day as far as I am concerned. This was fun. I agree, I loved these commercials. Wish we had them here in the U.S. Peace
Norwegian commercials are up there with Japanese commercials in weirdness factor.
I am beginning to believe that this compilation was place on TH-cam by Finn themselves....
It´s easy, Norwegian commercials are Creative and Innovative, I enjoy them and u make my day, Thanks! Commercials in the USA are stuck in the country's current policies and any slip of a company or product that bothers a minority is cause for complaints and lawsuits. Example: Case of the legendary Aunt Jemima maple syrup or the Uncle Bens brand that removed the brand's emblematic figures from their labels. Likewise in the commercials, everything is politicized, if they made advertisements with cute animals like in Norway, some organization or group would surely complain about abuse, cultural appropriation (the sloth bear is from Central and South America), patriarchy in the case of the cat that runs away from its offspring (the best of all you shown LOL). or anything that freaks them out and is a fact. Looking forward your next videos, your channel is awesome and... I ❤ Norway!!. Hugs, 🤗
Hey. A guy from Norway (his chanel is jonieboi) has reacted to your kindergarten in Norway video. And we use the knives to cut sticks.
IKEA the Sunny beach test. Funny IKEA commercial: time to move out? På tide å flytte hjemmefra? Rema 1000 smart house.
I guess the name Finn is a word play on the word find
I wish the video compilation you watched had more firms/commercials represented than mainly finn.no though! There's a lot of funny ones, so some variation would have been easy to aquire.😄
Norwegians are funny people. I know this because I'm Norwegian, and I'm funny. Very funny. In fact, at times I will be considered hilarious to the point where people ask me to stop being so. Thank you.
This was a really enjoyable video Tyler :D
Finn is also like eBay but you can also make a flight and you can get stuff for cheaper
I wish more of the world could take jokes better, and not treating everything so seriously, or maybe that's just the impression I get online, because I don't dare tell jokes on social media, especially not on Twitter.
You say that people getting hurt couldn’t have been shown in America..? What about jack as.. married with children series …? And by the way you can’t compare America to Norway,. Norway is like one state 😅
You should check out the adult themed commercials. They are hilarious
Finn is pure advertisement gold. ❤🐱
norwegian dosen't take themself so serious,now americans is a diffrent story.
Finn = find in english.
So its the name is what it says, you can find it all on there.
You should check out the old "LOTTO" commercials. They are much more fun then these stupid cat videos😉
You have to watch Granka Granka Granka
Ja-yes
Finn is for everything
The hayday of commercials bacically stopped around 2012, everything went PC after that.
Look they are not new
Can you look up the new ones . They are better
We love milk❤❤
I think finn is more or less the same as craigslist
if commercials(ads, really) are not amusing to anyone, what's the point? (warning ads are a different thing altogether)
Norwegians like dog so much more
And yet there are more cats than dogs in Norway, explain that.
@@wiseomg what you mean with it’s more cats? And people that have cats also often have two or three cause it’s less job with cats!
@@Bennlolo It`s true that some have more than 1 cat but the same applies to people having more than 1 dog, but however most only have 1. The most popular pet in the world is cats then dogs on second place, also in Norway, a quick google search will give you those facts.
@@wiseomg your American you don’t know shit
1st cant be real
Instead of Norway can you say Europe as its like that in most of Europe. Fed up hearing its a Norwegian thing, its not...
u wanna know what the commercials are for, yet, u cant seem to NOT stop it every 3 sec and ask whatwhatwhat. how about stfu and actually watch it and see what its for -__________-"
Pretty meh compilation. Who thought this was a good submission?
commercials are annoying, so by making them entertaining people will tolrtate them
why do u speak so slowly and pronounsed in the intro almost like a robot lol
So, why aren't these brilliant Norwegian ad creators being scooped up by Madison Avenue (that's in NYC, Tyler), the epicenter of the world's most lucrative consumer market?
Different cultures prefer different commercials, so maybe they wouldn't do as well in USA. Anyway, who in their right mind would want to move from Norway to USA (partly a joke, but also a bit of truth)?
I can read your sarcasm, but theres a lot of brilliant commercials being made here. Maybe these werent the best but they were not too bad mostly. We even have an award show for best commercials during the year.
A great one is Aker - Nøtteknekkeren.
This is not aimed at you silvana but whoever reads this and wants an epic song and cool video.
because everything doesnt revolve around the fucking USA
@@mari97216 Isnt it crazy that SilvanaDil is still here with us!! I kinda like it!! cause he makes me click Tylers videos faster than ever! altough I feel bad for Silvana, he is very entertaining to read!
because they are pandering to the average american consumer
Finn.no (finn means "find") is a place you find anything. Like craigslist. :) - Also: You have funny animals in commercials. Aflaaaaaaac! :)
