- As an American I have gotten very used to the boring commercials that we show here, so today I am very excited to watch some of the funniest Norwegian commercials that I have never seen before. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
I believe you missed a point on the bonus commercial, at first it was NO WAY because the R was missing, when the R finally arrived the Y had left to find the R, and the R took Y's place in line and made the message say NO WAR.. :)
Ironically the Bipper commercial was criticized in Norway because of the... GPS tracking of kids. Which some say might harm the individuality of the kids as they know they are being tracked and might harm trust between the kid and hes parents.
Stupid argument. Kids don't have developed brains. They don't know good and evil. Tracking helps to protect them.
and now all the kids wear the gps phoneclock
@@piratentim difference is, most parents don't have the technical know-how to use that to track their kids.
@@Jmvars hehe, another "nice to have"
I felt nostalgic when the "no milk today" ad started playing😂
Aaah me too! >__
Mr Bean is quite popular in Norway as for the rest of the world. It’s not for everyone, but definitely a classic. Something people have grown up watching, so theres a certain nostalgia. They often air episodes or one of the films around holidays.
Sir Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean is very popular all around the world for the same reason Charlie Chaplin was popular, silent acting can be understood by anyone, any age, no language required.
"Everyone" knows Mr. Bean.
@@OriginalPuro true, I think it has to do with people recognizing the childish behavior he has and either are still a bit like that. Petty, competitive.. or they recognize being like that as a child or other people they know about. Yep same with Charlie Chaplin, the most basic sense of humor that fits most people.
Fleksnes is like 10 times more famous in Norway than mr bean
@@polarwhale4895 eh no, I disagree. Both famous but fleksnes is not well known for the newer generations.
@@mari97216 hm good point, also depends where u live in Norway.
The reason Norwegian commercials are unusual (or used to be; they're normal now) is because Norway didn't have TV commercials until 1992. When American commercials started airing we found them ridiculous, and so when Norwegian companies tried making their own ads they made them parodies because the idea of an ad was a laughable concept to begin with. This ironically led to ads that won awards all over the world throughout the following decade. Young Norwegians have grown up with ads just like American kids, and can be reached in a similar way, and our media today is mostly boilerplate.
If you listen to the lyrics in the song "No milk today" and watch people falling over.. you will understand it from the beginning.
Commercial in Norway and Sweden sometimes have a story to tell.. Not just "buy this" which usually is the purpose with commercial.
If a kid in Norway holds a gun, it's guaranteed to be a toy gun. That's why it wouldn't be an issue.
The Mr Bean ad is him checking if the cheaper store is actually selling the same amounts and quality of groceries
I still remember when a bread was less then 10kr. now i make them myself.
I do like that they had the football fans with Norway in English not Norwegian because the joke only works in English. Nice touch!
Rowan Atkinson is known all over the world, and as the UK is just short skip across "the lake" from Norway, it really isn't that strange that he is popular here as well. The laugh track is used in pretty much all of the Mr. Bean sketch show episodes, so adding it in this commercial isn't meant to make it sound live, but to make is sound familiar. If a commercial can make you feel something, like nostalgia, it is far more likely that it will work.
Scandinavia as a whole has been into Rowan Atkinson since the early 80's. Here in Denmark we tend to prefer his Blackadder to Mr. Bean, but we know his stuff. I was a fan since the Not the 9 o Clock News days. Still have 2 NTNCN dvds that i love to watch. But hes comparing price vs amount in the ad..
Kim's chips are danish btw... 😊
How can you take him serious? my son wanted to know, when I was watching Atkinson as Maigret. That's when the yougster learned about Blackadder 🤣
Blackadder is huge here in sweden and also with my norwegian friends - for many more so than Mr Bean. Also his standup show where he is the devil - that sketch is hilarious (and can be found on youtube)
@@cleverlyblonde all the comic relief stuff is good. But dont forget Not the 9 o Clock stuff.
"No milk today" 🎶"Ohh this is for a milk commercial"😂😂
..who could have guessed lol...
the song was a dead giveaway.
id say that the reson why the first ad isnt being played in america is because it would "joke" too hard with their lifestyle, also very american to instantly think that thats a real gun
When I was 13 I had a 18 year old American pen pal. Some letters went both ways before I didn't want to any more. The cause being I thought she was too childish. At that time I didn't have any clue about the difference in culture
In Norway even the police don't even carry a gun. A few years ago they got allowed to keep a gun Locked Up in the car. Don't think any of us would think the boy had a Real Gun in his hand! (+We never beep out swearing) ❤ this 🤩
Look into Norwegian swearing no bleep and swearing and sex on commercial tv . Swearing is a part of our language in North
ffs whatta f* r u talking about, swedes doesent f* swear ffs... thats a f* lie... 🤭
In Norway we have Gullfisken, an Oscar-like award ceremony for commercials. Funniest, most thoughtful, best director ect.
When are you coming to Norway to experience the country for yourself?
I would love to see your reaction to some of the old Norwegian lottery commersials.
The ones from Norsk tipping.
They are tremendous.
Mr Bean is quite international... Probably because the humour isn't dependant on speech
Rowan Atkinson is one of the most popular British comedians in Norway. In fact, British humor is one of our favorite genres.
8:57 Pappa= Daddy..
Look up Danish funny/naughty commercials. There’s been made some really, really great ones.
Lol you got to see the new viagra comertial in norway!
The KIMs chips add. is actually danish, a bit old, but still funny...😄
Nei 😅 er norsk
For norwegians it is obvious that he is holding a toy-gun. Most people don`t have a real gun in theire house. The rules here are very strict around guns, whitch is good. I don`t even know what it takes to get a gun legaly.
You have to be a member of a shooting club to get license for a gun.
I’m wondering why it would be so controversial to show that commercial with the bra guy in the US, if it’s a clear goal that they are just blending in some humour? I really don’t get it
pushing what limits? what are you talking about?
The last commercial
Norway => NO WAR
No way!
That last one with the football match, is actually double funny to us from the south. Remember you reacted to the city "Fredrikstad?" Well those people in that commercial is from this movie called "Lange flate ballær." (Translated to long flat balls.) Its a norwegian comedy movie, but it very heavily leans into that specific city with the dialect they speak in is known to be among the ugliest in norway. (Not really ugly but think about how people in alabama speak compared to other us states.) There are currently 3 movies, theyre all very ridiculous, the third one even starrs the princess and samantha fox. I heard she is dating someone from this area.
Sorry, but he kid is going all "American" in his head.... hence the toy gun.
Commercials are amazingly strong.
A danish mobile company “Sonofon” made a couple of commercials about a rather sad / funny sidekick from “Smallville” in Denmark. “Polle fra Snave”. The commercials got so popular that they lead into a movie, which itself was a massive hit in Denmark.
NORGE/NORWAY!!❤🇳🇴👍👍
"No milk today" - well yeah it's a milk-ad
The Norwegian soft drink 'Solo' was known for decads for making funny ads. Even Marty Feldman made commercials for "Solo' back in the 70ies. They developed a strategy with the slogen 'Solo only helps against thirst' where they make a parody of other products that pretend to solve all kinds of problems.

Have you seen Posten's (the Norwegian postal service) Christmas commercial? It was quite controversial among Americans.
2021 or 2022?
Scandinavian commercials during the 90s where the best!
The child control service "bipper" from the telecommunication company Tele2 commercial
with the kid waving a toy gun aired in 2011.
It did not significantly stir any waters back then, but this would never be aired in Norway today, in 2024.
My favorit norwegian commercial... the english version 🤭 th-cam.com/video/n4LIvzC4nJI/w-d-xo.html
all of them are old they dont show ads like that any more );
Mr. Bean has always been hyper popular in Noray. I guess it has died down a bit now. Norwgians just love british humour, the more obscure and unknown, the better. Personally I love everything by Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker. They ended up making Black Mirror together. I do not think anyone has had more shows cancelled than Chris Morris though. You can't joke about certain things in Britain, and the executives have way too much power, but will take orders from anyone higher up, not taking a liking to the themes. Like p-d-filia, is a non-theme. Probably because so many of tthose higher ups actually were caught doing it,. Like in the 70's when Johnny Rotten called Jimmy Saville a pedo on live tv. People threatened his life all the time. And when Saville had died, then it all came out, that he was the nation's biggest and most untouchable pedophile. People knew already back then, but he had mighty friends, so he was allowed to go into girl's schools and get young girls. He had keys to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital for the criminallly insane, where he also got a lot of his victims. Nobody stopped him, ever.
Norwegians are starting to get very known for their wit. People are headhunted to teach foreign companies to make commercials and how to make people feel about products. One of our Hardest Black Metal band, Ulver, started making more electronic music, and now they are scoring big hollywood productions. They are huge. The Italian Metal band Abhorym's albums are produced by Norwegians, just to get the correct sound. Italians learn Norwegian to be black metal vocalists
"No milk today..." ;
DRINK YOUR MILK !
CALCIUM KEEPS YOUR BONES STAYING STRONG !
🍼🥛💪🥛🦷🥛😘👍
Reasons why commercials that are aired in Norway aren't allowed in the US:
1. Whoever greeenlights commercials in the US clearly _lacks_ a *_sense of HUMOR_*
2. See the reason above
Commercials are ruining youtube with their isane henkering for blandess and no edge. What is the point i canclling everything? Just so boring products don't get connected to anything bad or different. They should learn from Norway. The more brave, the better the sales
Norwegian marketing agents are very good. Some commercials are so memorable that people are still talking about them 20 years later. That’s insane
Mr Bean got nothing on Black Adder. That Rowan Atkinson show made him famous. Lots of episodes on TH-cam.
We actually have an awards show for commercials, just like for movies. Do you have that in the US? I think that might be partially why people get nostalgic.
Lukas Hassel was in a Norwegian commercial some years ago. You should take a look. He was the "Milk man"
I love Rowen Atkinson as Blackadder but have never liked Mr Bean. These adverts were pretty good though. UK.
Not only do we feel nostalgia, for several years one of our television channels held a commercial awards show called Gullfisken (or the Gold Fish, likely because of the short format and the short lifespan on air).
omg. no milk today plays all thru the commercial.. was completely obvious..
Funny stuff, but what's the deal with the weird amarican commenting over the videos?
Americans : "literally no idea what it would be about. so exciting"
American background music in Norwegian commercial : No milk today again and again and again hihi
Norwegian commercials be like "F*ck the woke cancel culture."
Kim's chips never pushed the limits.
"Skrukken" however...
Storytelling commercials are big. Often with fairly long stories, but where shortened versions/highlights are used most of the time.
They were singing No Milk today But I'm Norwegian so even if I never saw maybe for that I compared the dots
The guys in the last commercial is from a movie named; long flat balls (directly translated)😂
I recommend watching the first one atleast, it is hillarius
> Why does this little kid have a gun?
Tyler, that's just plain unamerican.
j/k
american, complain that a kid holds a toy gun... from a country where every kid have a gun...
watching u laugh at these things are hilarous, coz the reality in america is way stranger than any of these comercials.
The reason everyone in my class remembered the milk commercial was because of the line "the company was gay".
My guy milking Norway as much as he can and pauses the video every 10 second.
You must watching Norwegian comedy movies
And this one is also very funny! 🤣th-cam.com/video/SADTqhe_c5s/w-d-xo.html
wait what? you can get guns at the supermarket in america, but you cant even show one in a commercial? what kind of logic is that?
anyways the gun the kid is holding here is a toy gun, i can guarantee that, cause gun laws are strict here, never met anyone that owns a single one except if they shoot at a range for sport or do hunting
😂vhadde bare nrk. å der var det ikke reklame 🤣 åhjelpes... så gammel jeg er 🤣få spille noe tecno musikk istede tror jeg... 😜
mr bean is very popular in norway we see alot on his things around xmas times he is very loved by alot of norwegians

Rema 1000 is low price market store.
They should have shown “fiffen har daua»😂
Have you droven the Mr.Bean taxi in Trondheim?

I think Scandinavia and North America actually share a lot in common when it comes to sarcasm and humor, even though some Americans might think that Europe is a bit behind the times in that regard. In fact, I'd argue that Scandinavia is actually further ahead when it comes to this type of humor. From dry wit to deadpan delivery, Scandinavian humor is often characterized by its subtle, understated nature - something that I think many Americans can appreciate. Of course, humor is subjective, and what one person finds funny might not be the same for someone else. But personally, I think it's always fascinating to learn more about the different types of humor and cultural nuances that exist around the world.
i find it interesting that you think a guy in typical womans underwear is pushing the limit. it's so basic... ahha.. and Mr. Bean is loved by many in Norway. i am not Mr. Bean fan, but i do kind of find the commercial funny.
swede here... ya..i was quite amused the avrage (US) American guy said it was so on the edge...when it rly isent/was...and this was like 20-30 years ago..rly old ads...i think that was the most amusing he finding its edgy...
This is pretty old commercials
i was the 1000th like, am proud
4:24 we in norway are quite proud of our milk
Welcome To Scandinavia
I can't remember that Mr.Bean commercial? But have seen this in a sketh. Is this commercial fake?
No, it`s real. Made for a norwegian discount retailer.
This was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a norwigian i confirme that is really true and hilarious😂
Mr. Bean is HUGE in Norway.
Even bigger in Denmark 🇩🇰🍺
youir like 18
but still fun
skulle hatt med jarlsberg reklamene "ost er ost"
try to reakt to klover i komp
You should react to hunting videos in Norway. Allot of cool videos on TH-cam.
And btw we love mr. bean. Maybe not the youngest ones. But I'm an 88 and we grew up watching this show 😂. And this is old commercials, in todays woke-society, many of this videos would never been allowed on TV 😢
You don't have such commercials, because US commercials are adjusted to US average customer ... that's why they are like they are :D
i think its a watergun :P
British commercials from the 1980s: (1) the ad for Audi showing an Audi car driving through 'plate glass' (spun sugar).
(2) the ads for Cinzano (?) starring Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter.
Felt like the coop prix and OMO color commercial was missing here. The coop is my all time favourite.
Norwegians really hate "continental" made ads with perfect peoples with Norwegian voice-over, so the companies usually try to make own versions for our market. We are quite spoiled now, actually! 😂
Instead of these types of awesome commercials American commercials are alienating brands for woke crowds
the ikea ones
It has actually been made 3 movies based of the last commercial in the video. They are from Fredrikstad, which is where I live. The films are named «Lange Flate ballær», Long flat balls in english.
My personal favorites
