The guy who shows the price of groceries doesn't know what he's doing. Argus meat is per kg - not for a steak. Argus is very expensive. In Norway, the bread is baked the same day and cannot be compared with the E addition in the USA. You can buy bread or loaves for $0.70 - but of course it's not the same quality. You must not choose luxury olive oil like this - but can buy normal olive oil - where 1 liter costs $2.8 and not $16 as in this case. You also don't have to buy Coca Cola/Pepsi 0.5l for $1.7 - but can buy 6 x 1.5 liters for $8.5.
Its Angus, and not Argus :)
Thank you for saying this! I get so triggered with his videos because he chooses to take info from non-norwegians who havent got a clue! Ja Norge er dyrt, men vi har jo billige alternativer osv! Get your facts straight Tyler!😅
Bare bra at de skremmer folk litt

About the guy on the bus, it wasnt about being touched specifically, it was about someone sitting next to you on public transportations
Akershus Festning is an old military fort in Oslo and quite a popular tourist attraction there. Used to go there every summer myself when I lived in Oslo.
When I served in the army our base had a visit by a company of American soldiers doing winter exercises. It was -30C and they were literally wearing every piece of clothing they had packed in order to stay warm. So a buddy and I went out in sweat pants and t-shirts and got in line with them for the cantina. The stares we got were priceless and worth freezing my ass off!
I think it's also a castle AND fort.
On the flip-side, I surprised to see a U.S Marine jogging around the perimeter in his USMC issue shorts and t-shirt during TRJE18, despite -20c and high air humidity.
Nice 🤣
38 Dollar pr.KILO maybe (thats like 6 steaks, and its the Expensive kind..)
And that bread is insanly good and freshbaked every day, there are also way cheaper options to choose if you dont want quality bread
About the prices of the steaks and stuff. The thing they DON'T mention in their video, is that the prices are per kilo! But hey, let's make it seem more expensive than it really is.
Norway is all coastline. (Not literally... And there are inland lakes)
There are many Boats.
Also it's so much faster to go about bu boat most places by the coast as compared to driving
Well almost literally. 😂
The dance the royal family was doing is relatet to a Norwegian birthday song. You sing the song and do a little dance :)
That "Prison Guard" put some work on the accent, which is a level of dedication one can appreciate, in such comedy. Even when not in the target audience.
oh! a boat licence have stood on my to do list for ages. And yes, sognefjorden is really a place you should experience. It's kinda hard to explain, but it's amazing.
I have to tell you, Tyler. Your pronunciation of Norwegian names is coming along beautifully ❤
US breads are made primarily of sugar. In Norway, we have something called food safety. And regulations to how much sugar you can put in food. You can buy healthy bread in Norway for $1 also. But the $3 bread tastes better. ;)
My best friend and his dad sometimes wear shorts during winter.
He even taught me the trick to not feel as cold, though it is dangerous to do.
16:38 😂😂😂😂 A developing tradition is actually alternating between a jacuzzi/sauna and laying in the snow. Exhilarating and great for circulation!
A tradition from Finland, but might be spreading into Norway.
@@hemmper hahaha....all the "daring" things come from Finland! Them folks are crazy!😂😂😂
Of course there are many boats in a country with about the longest coastline (depending on definition) and a relatively low population.
1:20 keep in mind there is only one country that have a longer coast line than norway, and it is canada. norwegians are either boat (sea) people or mountain people. there are alot of boats
So there arent people who do both mountain and boat?
no@@AHVENAN
I might be wrong when it comes to bread but i think i'm correct in assuming our cheapest bread is still considered top shelf in america...
The sad thing is, you might be right. After studying youtube videos by yanks, im starting to think they dont really know quality food at all. They see MacD as a place you want to eat. Here it's when it the only place that's near the train that you're catching in 18 minutes. That's the only time you use a MacD.
that last joke we use here in sweden aswell, but we usually just use it for north Sweden vs south Sweden. Or the when the first snow comes and its 3 cm snow in Stockholm or lower it turns in to chaos and snowwarnings, while in north sweden we still sitting outside in our bathing suits and eating icecream while its 3 meter snow :P
13:47 *YES!* I'm born and raised in Oslo and rediscovered it several times, and I've moved within Norway (outside of Oslo) at _least_ 9 times. Done a bit of everything.
"Tourists"/students from other parts of Norway are often disappointed (and prideful in their homeplace) until they discover more of the city.
Hey, it took me years. And I still have not experienced all of the city. But it's so much more vibrant and diverse than most people realize. Just don't spend all your time in the city CENTRE lol
(And if you do, make sure you know what you can get there, there's also something for everyone, but you must know about it beforehand in most cases)
I am norwegian and no we are not immune to cold, though we think of what is cold differently.
10 degrees C is not cold to us, when we get below 0 degrees C, so when my friend was in milano where there was no ocean breeze and 10 degrees she walked around in a t-shirt.
Its about what you are used to😝👌
And your activity level.
+8⁰C can be dangerous if you are nude and not active at all.
But even -10⁰C can be comfortable or even warm in pretty light clothing if you're active and used to it, and there's sunshine and no wind.
I'd say that it's starting to get actually cold around -20⁰C personally.
Although -10⁰C in Skien with windchill in insufficient clothing (just a denim jacket over a t-shirt) was worse then the one time I experienced -50⁰C in Kautokeino (the day we where less then a full degree from reaching the Norwegian cold record).
@@Luredreier I work outside. I much rather prefer colder seasons instead of summer. Working in even 20 degrees sucks, but yesterday it was upwards of 30 and that was just horrable
The prices of meat is the same in Denmark. If you dont look around for good deals you can easily find a 50 dollars steak here. Ive looked at them myself. But i would say the normal proce should be about 8 dollars for 2 good steaks. Also, the danish royal family have the same funny videos. Today our Prince is running in a marathon in Cph, known as the royal run. Hes running in 3 diffrent cities and there will be 90.000 danes running with him. Theres always time to catch a picture with him for most people that meet him. The kids are not running this year. They did last year.
I came to Think of Fleksnes listening to the prisonguard 😂
The good thing about the prices is that tax is included in the price, so there are no surprises at checkout.
Though some things like meat price is kilogram priced, so a piece of meat will say 1kg = a price so if you buy more / bigger pieces, the price increases and that store is a a Kiwi store. I know cuz I work in one and it has a distinct green color though I should mention that there are more expensive stores like Meny that sells even more costly groceries, but they have some more niche items.
You should know that coupons are not a thing, though we have other things that save us money in the long run.
Like diaper/bin/tampon cards or the trumf system.
I live by the Sognefjord......and it is spetaculere!!!❤❤❤
a loaf at "walmart" in norway is also like 0.9 dollars, he picked to get hi prices.
The sognefjord is the worlds longest open fjord, second only to a frozen one in Greenland. it is also Norways deepest. its a shame that it keeps being outshined by the Hardanger, when it is such a gem.
16:25 ish. Temperatures between 0 to -10 degrees Celsius feels colder than -10 to -20 degrees sometimes. It all depends on the humidity. Dry cold is very easily insulated with clothes. We use several layers to clothes to trap warm air inside a wind blocking jacket/pants. But since Norway is warmer by the coastline due to the Mexican Gulf stream the temperatures seldom reaches -20 along the coast. In the inland we can get temperatures down to -40 or -50 degrees Celcius, perhaps more common very far up north and inlands.
Tree hug - "grounding"
The real funny part about the royal dancing is that every Norwegian knows exactly which song it is based on the movements.
It is a common birthday song.
Edit: it's this one th-cam.com/video/LcXTeu4c-Ig/w-d-xo.html
I did notice that
Just went "wait a minute..... that looks familiar "
Do you know who they were singing it to?
@@Alex-mo5zk I believe they are watching a parade of some sort. Might have been the Kings birthday... I might be imagining this, but I recall a... is it called Marching Band? Anyway. A bunch of children in this parade... Something like that. (I guess I didn't pay that much attention when it happened)
not every one....
@@Alex-mo5zk it looks like constitution day, which for children is often explained as being the countrys birthday. It looks like one of the children initiated it and the adults joined in
In Minnesota you can drive a boat young. You can also get a farmers permit at 14 to drive a vehicle.
We have the second-longest coastline in the world. Of course, we go boating!
Oh nooo!!! Somebody sat down beside him 😱 I hope they didn't try to engage in, the SMALL talk 😰🤣
Treehugging is silly. And it feels great.
It's quite common to have boats in Norway. I had one that was mine and my family had two more. When they introduced the mandatory licenses and my interest for boating faded, I ended up selling the boat and never got a license... might get a license in the future and buy a boat again though
that steak is 38 dollars per kilogram and that piece is probably around 400 grams meaning it's not actually 38 dollars, more like 13-14 dollars
The boat licence is about Norway having the longest coastline in the world. Its lots of dire straits and weather, so
11:30 it's because someone sat down next to him 🤣
The dance the royal familie did was a happy birthday song whit it's dance
1:11 Topic: Boat
Words: "Do Norwegians..."
Answer: _Yes._
It is very normal to have a boat where i live in Norway, but i think it it depends on where you live. I have i boat (im 15) and about everyone I now have or have had a boat.
We have one of the worlds longest coastlines..yes we boat :p You should have figured when looking at the map though..
Now the bread in 🇺🇸 is also four dollars 😂😭
Norwegians often owns boats.
it looked like the royal familt dansed to the norwegian happy birhtday song
Great reaction video and very interesting! I wonder if food is so expensive in Norway, because it's so cold there. It must be growing zone 2 and really difficult and expensive to grow food. I can't even imagine how people have a garden there, expect maybe for kale, cabbage and such.
Not at all. It’s expensive because we have more money here
Try this, google what jind of crops one can grow in norway. We have a very long country, lots of different zones.
@@Goldenhawk583 Thanks, I hadn't thought about the size of Norway, that will be surely different climate zones.
Comparing Norwegian prisons with prisons in USA is funny? Americans think it's funny that we treat people with respect and try to make them good neighbours, while americans treat their incarcerated people worse than dogs and expect them to behave like humans when they get out of prisons. Yes, it is rather funny, maybe. In a very dark kind of way 🤯
The most expensive thing in norway is a taxi. It startas at 20-30$ just by you entering it... and my friend just payed 60$ for 2,5km
Northern Light - only wintertime, the rest Summer time.
that's how it is in Sweden too
Norway is expensive but I do wonder if Denmark have not surpassing them in extreme prices, we bought food to eat on the train (in Sweden) because they're ridicules.
Really wanna go to Norway to watch orcas because we don't have them in Sweden unfortunately. However we do have a similar northern part and then Spain like beaches in the south. (like Böda Sand) We are also moving a whole town called Kiruna.
Also please check out the Swedish royal family, our king is a Swedish iconic meme. He's very loved.
Great show! You are not average btw🤓
Norway has the beat bread ( now often almost 5 dollar)
you can find excellent entrecote for like $3. from Botswana. some people think it is subpar, i can't tell the difference between a southern african cow and a norwegian one when it is on my plate.
Norway land:
Me: it isn’t cold this is normal
Others: it is frezing!
Amrica:
Me: why is it like a desert out here
Others: it is normal temperature.
Me: HOW!!
Answering the prisons. It is another world..
Hmmm, did I and the people around me hallucinate the Northern Lights in America, as well as the fjords in America?
depends ......(state/states)
Tip to new reaction. Ylvis with : The cabin, work it and Massachusetts..
You need a boating license to legally drive a boat more than 8 meters (26 feet) long, and with an engine of more than 25 horse power.
So, tell me, Tyler, who uses all those boats at the piers/docks/marinas in Seattle, SF, LA, San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Portland, Boston, Providence, NY, DC, Virginia Beach, Tampa Bay, Miami, New Orleans, Galveston...?
Dogs and cats?
He's talking about how it's unusual for 10th graders to have boat lisence and a boat. You're taking it out of context.
@@birgitteknutsen9240 I think there's also a disparity in the US regarding economy and location; a lot of people are poor, grew up poor, and grew up around poor people, and so didn't know anyone with a boat. Also: A lot of americans live far from the sea or ocean.
I'm Norwegian/American..
There are boats in the US, but in most places it to expensive for most people.
In Norway, I felt it was common for children to have their own dinghy (jolle), but in the states my classmates eyes popped out when they heard i had my own sail dinghy in Norway....
We have a lot of cost line per inhabitant in Norway, so it cheap for a docking area for a small boat.
@Birgitte89 10th graders can't get boat license
@@Mystra In Norway, about half of the 10th graders are old enough to get a boat license, since the age requirements is 16 years old, but you can take the test when you are 14, but you get it until your 16...
I took the boat license as a school course last year of ungdomskolen.
People under 16 may sail a boat if: the engine is less than 10hp, the max speed is below 10 knots and the length is maximum 26.25 feet.
You can find $1 bread in Norway as well, and it will still be better than the block of half dried glue that passes for bread at wal mart.
That said, the guy in the store has no clue what he is doing, half of the prices he confuse price pr kg and price pr item, and the other half he is picking the luxury and/or brand name items
The thing people misunderstand when they realize that things in Norway is expensive is that yeah it's expensive compared to how you have it, but usually for us it's not that expensive since we have a good wage, free health care, free tuition for university, etc. Though things have become a bit more expensive since the Russia Ukraine thing.
This is literally how economies work. In my opinion the US is more expensive since a lot of people there barely earn anything, and things like houses, rent, going to the hospital, going to a university is really expensive compared to how much you earn.
weeeell our coca cola actually tastes like coca cola atleast :D real sugar
"I don't know much of anything about...."
No need to say more after those words -- ever.
Wow,don't you have anything else to do with your time? 😅
@@birgitteknutsen9240 - When did *my* time become your business?
It's just funny how it seems like you wait for Tylers vidoes just to Troll in them. That is in my opinion a waste of time😂
Wouldn't it be great to know what they don't know anything about? I think it would be great if they said at least that little bit more.
Oh look, it’s this guy again
Best thing to do in Oslo: Bergensbanen.
10:17 We have one of the lowest crime reoccurrence rates in the world, if it works, it works :)
From what I gather, it is a system about hope to be able to be a part of society at large (not a specific society of crime within the larger society), and to see and be with family and friends again.
There seems to be a large emphasis on psychological help and treatment.
I don't know what I would feel if I was a victim, but the mind of the perpetrator as well as thoughts on redemption does matter a *lot* to forgiveness, as well as the circumstances of the crime.
The video is obviously satire, it's funny, but it's not as bad (good) as he says, and not all prisons are the same. But in general, it hits the nail on the head :)
11:49 One time the king and queen were getting 🎤📺and the king said to the queen: Wasen’t that place named after you?
Queen: No the place is called troll🧌
King: Exactly😂😂😂
15:55 Meanwhile the 10 year old me camping outside in a hammock having the best night of my life: 👁️👄👁️
Price on steak: That is price pr. kg, not a piece of steak.
+20 or -20 does not matter, if you can see the sun its warm.
I don't think that many get a boat licence.....
The prisoners got to use iPads during the pandemic. To have video calls with the family.
11:20 someone is sitting down next to him
Norwegian here. Yea... About jail here... I told my mother that when its time for her to move to a nursing home she should just off a politician so she can go to jail instead. That way she will get payed to be there, better food and way more rights...
That olive oil is cheap. (Why am I not surprised that this would be news to Tyler?)
you like him!!!
The guy behing the utøya masaker has a ps4 and tv
1:29 you need a license to drive a boat over a certain size.
1:57 she forgot about the cashier talks.
4:06 in recent times the Norwegian krone has become very weak, so many people come now that it’s so cheap.
11:41 the worst komme of all was that he sat beside someone on the buss, easily 30 years in prison with daily torture sessions.
12:52 the best things to do in Oslo is to leave
7:09 You did the R! The Scandinavian "R" :D
You can consider yourself more unique than (this is an assumption of experience) 96% of US Americans! :P Now you just need to work a bit on the "ø" (same sound as in "hurt" "hut" "spun") 😁
Make a video of you trying to speak norwegian🇧🇻
3:35
Traditional dances are a lot more involved.
But we're very awkward with this kind of things, and don't want to stand out, you know.
So if the average activity level goes down it's pretty much permanent...
6:50
That's probably a slight downhill slope.
8:18
Tromsø isn't bad, but I don't feel like it deserves the first spot.
5:46
Yeah, a bit exaggerated, but not far off.
13:45
If you're able it would be nice with a higher resolution on the tick-tock videos, it's hard to see what's being written.
16:34
-20 is definitely *something*.
But if there's no wind, sunshine, it has been colder last week and you're physically active (think jogging etc) it's actually quite comfortable for a little while.
I know, some of those steaks can be pretty expesive, but i think it is usually a lot chaper...
She did not say she had her own boat by 10th grade, just the license....
Making our prisoners SHARE an iPad? LIES! We're not barbarians!
True, if u wash it you not a hardcore Russ
We have higher prices for food
never seen a small coke for just 1.9$ its in most shops around 2.5$
I bake bread myself and I dont eat steak.😊
The hell. It's not 38 bucks for beef..Jeez. also, the exchange rate is very favourable for the Americans atm.
ALERT! INFO! The painting, the scream, is not a person screaming :) It is a dog
Yeah but Tyler. There is nothing in your bread.
The steak that costs $38 is $38 per kg, and not per steak..
03:00 You can wash your Russ Pants as a Russ if you want to, but doing so would stop you from being given a knot in the hat's tail for going the entire Russetid without washing your pants.
No, no, no.... that's NOT true....
It's not true that we don't speak to or say hi to strangers in the street..... Many Norwegians do.😊
It's not exspensive bc it's not dollars but it's coins and it's called kr in Norway
A steak does not cost 38$.thats the kilo price for that particular one. Its expensive, sure, but not that expensive.
38 dollars are pr.kilo
Think why car lisence and not boat lisence.
Some prison cells got ps3 or ps4
How to spot pandering:
"Norwegians don't talk to strangers in the city. Americans do; they aren't as respectful."
"Norwegians talk to strangers in the woods. Americans don't; they aren't trusting."
Q.E.D.
non are as they seem.
Pr kilo meat...not 1 slice of beef...
Prises dipends on where u live i norway
we are not that expensive that's cap
TikTok will normally provide you with silly people! If you like kicking out at those who don't actually know they are now at the bottom of the barrel, just take what you need, then behave yourself!
