Fun fact: A Dane can hear another Dane’s english accent from 10 kilometers away. Trust me, he’s Danish.
This is so weird. I'm Danish, I've seen a few of his stand-up shows before and though I always found them funny, they were never quite hilarious to me. This, however, really hit the nail on the head for me!
Yeah, same. Then again, it's 8 minutes. So he can boil down his material. Even then, his sets on comedy aid hasn't been as genuinely perfect as this one.
Can I ask you a question? Are you a Danish person named Dane, 'cause that's hilarious
I think it is because he has changed topics. I don't watch his Danish shows because they tend to be "teenage humour difference between men and women". He did a really nice bit for Standup for Comedy a few years ago, so I knew he could write jokes for a different audience. I think his target demographic just changed considerably. And he is talented to be able to change his style accordingly.
Same. Saw Him warm up for Russell in Denmark, and thought he was defo more fun in English.
"Its like looking at fish going 'how do they breath in such a difficult environment... ohmagaaad'"

Yes, all Americans talk, think and behave as a combination of Valley Girls (and Guys) from Brooklyn, by way of Long Island.

Well, a great many do and while that may be funny at the time, they are sad.
It is ironic that those who can afford to travel (sans Covid, obviously) are often loud, entitled and obnoxious representatives of their homeland, and the unfortunate natives who get too close have no other frame of reference for Americans, Germans or anyone else, except for the television or internet and God help them then.
Full Disclosure:. I may be loud bc I have rock and roll ears, I am hard of hearing and masks make it impossible to read lips and put that together with what I think my dinner partner or waitstaff may be saying. BTW:. Masks are a necessity, that's not what I'm saying.
Half the comments are just danes congratulating him on going international 😂😂
Saw the Simon Talbot make denmark great again, he did make it before this appearance at Russells show, but yes its really awesome he dared to make that move and made it work for him.
We used to only have the guy from lord of the ring and Mads Mikkelsen, But now we also have him🖖🏻
Being a Norwegian, I understand the translation struggle.
mathilde mykløy As a Swedish person I agree with you totally. Sometimes I felt like I had an easier time understanding the Danish then the English. 😂 (Not because his English is bad, rather because mine is. 🤦🏼♀️)
You people are weird, it's easier to translate things into English than it is to translate inbetween our very similar languages. I mean when I say Grin, then the Swedes think it's crying and the rest of us sane people think it's smiling. When I say Tös, the Swedes don't understand and the Danes doesn't care and the Norwegians get upset, while I think it's a perfectly normal word here In Scania. If I say Rar, then everyone but the Norwegians think it's Sweet, but they think it's rare. Do you get my point... It's a fucking lot easier to translate from our languages into English than in between them, because there are words that have different meanings, and then there are words that doesn't have any cognates in the other languages. And it gets even worse when we get to old Norwegian AKA Icelandic. And let's not mention Gutetal or Dalmål or Sydjylländsk, or Tröndelagsk. We could literally spend over 30000 hours speaking about the differences in every minor language and dialects there of.
It's just about exposing yourself to enough of the English language until you get a minor grasp in it and after that it becomes a lot easier, I used to speak both Scanian and Danish fluently, now I rarely if ever Speak either Scanian, Danish or Swedish. Mostly English, I literally dislike speaking Scanian although I'm proud of being a Scanian, however, no one understands me when I speak, most people just learn Swedish here now and no one seems to want to speak Scanian, or any of it's dialects. Klåijntade kotletter me' panntofflagröd o krös, ä så gott ad yvena rinna. Marinated cutlets with mashed potatoes and lingonberries, is so tasty that (my) eyes (flow/tear up).
Ja stod ve vången inte möllan o glodde po en granner tös, hon va en redig granner tös, me yved hår o illröa läbbar, pattar som få o en röa som får alla glader vara. Man känner säj som en li'en glytt var gång man ser pona.
I stod near the meadow next to the mill and looked at a pretty girl, she was a really pretty girl, with bushy hair and strikingly red lips, breasts like no other and an ass that makes everyone be happy. One feels like one is but a young boy each time you look at her.
Now I could translate that into Swedish pretty Easily, by exchanging a few words, but translating it into Danish wish is the sister language of Scanian is near impossible, mostly due to how shit Danes are at spelling and speaking their own language, I mean Danish is mostly vowels and then short words like den is pronounced bm, and it's really shit to think in Danish and try to write it down, and writing it down in the first place makes it look too Swedish.
Oh and if we were to all write down phonetically, then shit pommes frites, is it gonna be hard, because Danish is basically hell on Earth with like a billion vowel shifts...
No English with it's sorry excuse of spelling and speech is a lot easier. I mean I live 65 km from Denmark and I still feel that English is a lot simpler than a language I've been forced to learn since a young age.
The Major
Dude, I am half English. Not saying that it’s a struggle to translate things, but that it’s a stuggle in the sense that it loses it’s humour when you do.
@August : Testa att kalla en norska för en rar tös och se om hon tar det som en komplimang :P
@Jim Elliott Just out of curiosity, do you mean there are more scandinavians descandants in Utah than in other states?
Funny guy, didn't felt the need to kill myself during this 8 minutes.
@@magnusthoegersen8974 I know. I commented that before I got to that part of the video. Then heard the joke and was like ehhh it still stands.
I’m loving how he starts out with a lot of classic danish things that we tell foreigners to pronounce, just to prove he’s a Dane to other Danes XD
LongLiveHarryPotter7 dude I feel like most Danish ppl would know this dude, and even if we didn’t you can still easily hear his danish accent.
K Nogne can’t say I know him, but I could hear his Danish twang throughout, which was very entertaining XD
It's really more to prove non Danes that he's a Dane. It's not uncommon for Danes who haven't shown their full Danish side yet, to be mistaken for being English (I don't really wanna bother listing the countries that speak English). I personally have a *very* British accent and I've had severe difficulty proving even fkn Brits that I'm Danish. Best way for a Dane to prove their nationality is not as much to speak a shite ton of Danish, but to roast the fuck out of everyone around them. Basically give them the same bombardment that Sweden gets on a daily basis
Finally someone said it.. Im so tired of pretending that we speak Danish in Denmark.
What do you mean? What are you saying? What language is spoken then ?? 🙄
@@travelwell6049 most Danes speak Japanese, since the Japanese colonized Denmark and most Danish islands in 1698
Florida man once asked me where i was from in Disneyland, FL. I said "I'm from Denmark bro" - and he went on to state he knew it perfectly well. It was "around Nova Scotia somewhere". I'll never forget it.
Love him, have seen him many times here in Denmark. Danish and British humor are very similar, i love watching british stand up.
Scandinavian stand up is terrible...British stand up is dead. PC crowd have killed it.
Ive had this experience aswell. For example:
Me: Im from sweden
American: Wow do you speak swedish?
Me: Uhh, yeah obviously.
American: Omg thats so cool how did you learn that?
@Maria Blente Yes! Same in Denmark, though - And anywhere, for that matter. I've lived in Sri Lanka and Poland (and obv. Denmark), and they all ask.
In Denmark, I was a live Polish dictionary, and in Poland, I was a live Danish dictionary. And Sri Lanka? Well, both.
C J lmao, I’m a Dane commenting in our sister language, Swedish, on the video of a danish comedian. Get out.
I’m a dane who learned English in America. So when I speak most Europeans think I’m american but the minute a scandinavian hears me “that’s a dane”. He gave me the same vibe
Simon Talbot and Russel Howard. It's like two worlds colliding
I’m not sure if I laughed because it’s funny?
or because I’m Danish and I get it ?
Wish I had the full English perspective
I`m Austrian so not the full English perspective but a third one. I found him very funny. Too bad it got the audience so long to get the Jesus joke, it was so obvious that he meant the bible never mentions him going to the toilet.
I'm American and found him to be pretty damn funny. I had no idea a pastry could do stand-up so well. Sorry, that was my attempt at being funny. We can't all be a Simon Talbot. :)
That song he referenced, "skilla magina dinga do...." What's that song's name? I imagine it would be fun to listen to.
I’m a Mormon swede living in the UK and I have a Canadian accent for some reason. They call me a candinavian
So why have you incorporated a misspelled Icelandic last name, as a middle name in your profilname I wonder?
Please more? I don't know any Danish but this guy is hilarious and I'd love to see more of him :)
Well.. he did stand-up in America in 2016 (called make Denmark great again) and I think it'll be on netflix at some point - so if you're patient your wish will be granted.
@@majkenagerbo2952 Wohoo! Thank you for the info, I'll keep my eyes peeled :D
In Denmark we have LOTS of qualified, high end comedians. Simon Talbot is... average (no offense he's good, but we have even better comedians).
...How does he do it? Moving, breathing in such a difficult environment?.... I met a few Americans, who are like that. On a stage it's b... hilarious.
I've lived in America all my life, I feel the same way when I meet those people. We also wonder how they can walk and breathe
My son have a conversation online yesterday with an American girl who was just "so amarican as possible" as he described it.
Some of her comments: "Do they have cars in Sweden?!" Isn't that a shithole country?"
"Isn't Europe a country?"
"But Russia is a continent, right?"
My son tried to explain, "Part of Russia is in Europe."
Then she asked what the other part was.
When my son asked her if he could to explain to her what propaganda was, she blocked him.
I'm proud of my son, trying to nice and friendly explain some things over the internet and not explode inside. ❤
@@annakoch9972 lol I'll take things that never happened for 500 Alex
Er det bare mig, eller er han sjovere på engelsk end på dansk?
Nej, jeg er fuldstændig enig! Jeg synes ikke han er speciel sjov, men det her var sgu ret godt.
Joken omkring at han er en dansk ex-jehovas med en irisk accent fungere nok bedre når han fremføre det hele på engelsk, ellers tror jeg ikke rigtig det er mere eller mindre sjovt på engelsk tbh :)
Lige meget hvad, så var det her et rigtig godt crowd, og Simon var 100% på, god levering og selvsikkerhed... Timingen og stemningen har bare været lige i øjet...
ALL THE WAY FROM DENMARK! Bro denmark is like 2 hours away in the plane lol
It takes longer to check in at th airport than it does to get there.
If you mean London to Copenhagen take off to landing then it's about one hour.

Something like that. My Danish isn't great.
@@bodenlosedosenhose1590 more like :
Pork-roast ! Brown sauce and potatoes!
Now i have gotten dang hungry...
Danish and english dont directly translate in most cases, that last sentence would be "Now am i dang gotten hungry" if done so instead.
Its the difference in the use of the words, even tho easy to translate, you gotta "rearrange" or sometimes use more fittings words for a more true translation :)
Google is not bad at this with english and nordic translations, but yeah it will leave you short in comparison to any avg IQ dane that doesnt suck at english :P

My mother planned to move us (her, me and my brother) to Denmark when I was 10. I hate to think of what my accent would have sounded like. We had moved to Mexico when I was 5 and spoke Spanish better than English. Add Danish to that and I have no idea what it would have sounded like.
We didn't get to go to Denmark, unfortunately. My mom passed away. I think I would have loved going to Denmark.
You know you've made it, when you're a danish stand up comedian, getting invited by Russel Howard.
I've enjoyed a lot of Simons shows in danish, and this did not disappoint in any way.
Great job, Simon.
P. S. Your WoW bit is too fkin funny, man.
I’m Swedish so I understood most of what he said in Danish, but this guy is freaking hilarious haha😂
Some Americans are just clueless. I had a guy ask me if we had IPhones in Europe...
Just one more video Another American asked me if the whole India is a desert. And she was a teacher.
I'm from Germany and was in the US where I was asked how it feels to have Hitler as president... 😳 First I thought it was a weird joke, but that dude was serious. 🙈
Being Scottish/ Filipino I can relate. Also to make things even more challenging, I currently live in the states. LOL
I love Denmark by the way. I wanted to live there, my Ex chose here. I should have seen that as a sign. 😂
My grandparents really don’t like his comedy
But then again they’re Jehovah’s witnesses
Wow he's really going places...
Keep on the good work!!!
Venlig hilsen en fan fra Rødovre
The deleting apps joke made me lmao! 🤣
Love his stage presence. That´s probably my favorite thing about Simon.
Loved the "can´t even delete apps"-bit
Fastest 8 minutes of comedy, it means you're good cause time goes by fast
The funny thing is I can hear both an Irish and Danish accent, some words are more strongly Irish and others are definitely Danish sounding... My poor brain is struggling with the constantly changing accent 😂 but once I can deal with that... Full on giggles 😂
This is like someone I played CS with. Was Danish but his English was in a perfect Manchester accent. Also didn't believe him when he said he was from Denmark, which was actually ages after we started playing.
His movement is so expressive
Like, he's funny too but that really stood out
His impersonation of that american girl had me in fits
So nice to see Simon Talbot on this channel!
I like both him and Russell Howard, and both the danish and british humor. Amazing 👌👌👌
The American girl he described must be from Calilfornia--based on the accent.
Or really anywhere that's kinda like the default Cheerleader voice in the USA.
Um... yeah.... no one really talks like that. In California or anywhere else. That's why they're called "jokes".
I actually think this is one of his best performances! ;)
He actually sounds very nordic to me 😂 I don’t know about other people. But thanks to my passion for languages, it has helped me distinguish(pretty sure a lot of you too) with other people’s accent and language just by hearing them speak.
It's been a while since I last laughed so hard that I literally fell off my chair.
Thank you, Simon Talbot! :)
I gotta say, he reminds me of a drunk Daniel Sloss.
itsFisch except ones a scot and the other has Irish accent vastly different !
@@michelleflood8220 I Think it's more About their mimicry and bodylanguage being similar.
This guy was absolutely hiarious 😭 did not expect that
Didn't expect to see simon on the russel howard show lol
I'm Irish and I actually thought he was first. That "batter ye" part was true also :-)
Then you're gonna like this:
th-cam.com/video/y3jlR6k_wo0/w-d-xo.html
But you should actually watch the entire video because it's amazing.
I love when he was like ‘og det er fordi jehovas witnesses cant do something’ and just moved on as if he hadnt just started that sentence speaking danish
I think he just said “and if jehovas witnesses...” it’s just the Irish accent that made it sound a bit weird
@@MisaoMRyuzaki that was definitely Danish. I'm a Dane myself and he did say og det er fordi. But I just assumed it would be English so I didn't even notice
Josefine Light He’s definitely saying “and if...”. I’m a Dane as well, and it doesn’t even sound like he’s saying “og det er fordi...”. Also, it wouldn’t make sense gramatically
Hmmm. He's giving off Fluffy vibes but with a Danish twist. 😅 I like him. 👍
He pretty much is the Danish version of Fluffy, just with a bit more adhd 😂
Watched it, felt the need to end it all, started liking it, didn't feel like ending it all anymore, laughed, felt refreshed. Perfect 5/7 from me! Educational and entertaining.
So that is what he's been up to lately. Godt gået Talbot! :)
So pissed I missed getting tickets for Russel in Denmark
"Screw down a little bit the expectations" xD
Simon is funny, both in danish and english and i get his jokes about accents.
I saw this on my recommendation and I am glared I clicked this guy is amazing
Wow he is funny as and good looking with it. Hope to see more of Simon Talbot 🙏🏻
Huge fan of both of these amazing men! They are probably the most similar comedians out there, both in antics and the way they move around the stage really using their bodies to show humor :D I've seen every show Simon has done here in Denmark and am so impressed to see him coming this far too!
Huge greetings from a fellow Dane!
Finally. Have been waiting for his act for so long.
Simon Talbot killed it!
I'm Danish and been watching many shows with Simon.
He's also great in English which is so difficult, the humor is so different.
#awesome
He is good in danish but he is perfect in English
The apple and fruit joke was hilarious! The rest was very funny as well.
I'm a Norwegian translator with an Irish accent living in Scotland. I felt this.
He is so much more fun when he is not laughing at his own jokes 😊 I love his performance in English. 😊
This showed up in my recommended and I'm not complaining.
I’ve been waiting for this bit to come up! Love it 🙌🏼
Yes, Russel and Simon together 🤩 priceless 🙌😂
I want to see him do an impersonation of a “Karen” in all three languages!
Which three languages? As much as I could tell he said he spoke English and Danish
Thanks, I have been waiting for this since you filmed it!
I relate to this so much. I too was raised a Jehovah's witness and it was shit.
Same. Lots of comedy material available though - gotta laugh or we'd cry
Ari eldjárn is also pretty funny, he is an icelandic comedian and his name literally translates to raven firesteel
@@h.thumbsthomas5479 Ari is just one of many bird names in Icelandic. I know a baby called Stormur Jökull, literally Storm Glacier. My brother-in-law is "Shield of Gods" and his son "Wolf Moon son of Shield of Gods". We don't think about it, it's just regular names xD
It's so short! I need another hour of this guy, he's great!
Interesting to see a local guy here
Came here after watching Simon on Stormester s5. Love him!
Loved the “cannot delete apps”-joke!
Love from Kenya honey... this was hilarious and I loved it. I always like it when somebody from a different culture and country can still make me laugh
Well this was awesome. A throw back to the one liners with raw emotional history. Genuine, thoughtful, loved it. 2 out of 5 pidgins.
One of the few, or only, Danish stand-up comedian that can make it work in english :D super godt gået Simon!!
This was actually so funny, my eyes were tearing up
Way to go, Simon. Håber du laver flere af sådanne shows en eeenglish ohmagawd!
Du gør det godt Simon! Kæmpe fan. Fedt at du rykker det op på internationalt niveau.👏
😱😱😱 OMG!!! My favorite Danish comedian on my favorite UK show🤩🤩🤩🤩
I’m a black girl, with Asian accent cause I’m born in Japan and live in Sweden
Nothing weird with religions in your upbringing? If so you should go into comedy :P
This was one of those videos where I came for something and didn't get what I wanted... *but better*
I'm American and I lived in Egypt on my first time visiting home the first thing I was asked by a friend of our neighbor was" what's type of English do they speak over there?" He was so proud of himself and said "me too I've traveled everywhere I've been to almost all 50 states "like hes been around the world
Du er så feeee´d Talbot.. lykke til med det internationale projekt.
Just Awesome..
This was freaking hilarious! One of the best stand ups ever!!!!!
Missed the perfect opportunity to call this segment The Russel Howard Show....
*DANSK*
That was really funny. Loved the reincorporation of the Danish from the beginning
I like this guy's face. So expressive!
Never seen Simon Talbot perform before what a jolly sense of humor! I'll have to look him up more.
This was friggin' hilarious and I would've liked more than 8 minutes!
I had no idea he spoke English as well.
And then being funny, “oh my, in such a difficult language”
Way to go Simon, way to go!
JAAA SIMON!
You're gonna do great things lad.
i genuinely havent laughed that hard in so long, what a nice guy
Holy crap! two of my favorit comedians in the same show! :O
This guy seems pretty funny. I'll have to check out one of his shows next time I'm in Dublin.
He is great. I hope he continues...
He is actually more fun in English than Danish 🤣
If you're a Danish guy with an Irish accent who grew up as a Jehovah's Witness the jokes practically write themselves.
*you are the joke
One would think
dlwatib alot actually
Unlike the bible
He is a walking Joke. (Dane here)
