Norwegian memes have the amazing ability to be funny, entertaining, and educational. That is why today I am very excited to enjoy some funny Norwegian memes. Also I will hopefully gain insight into the Norwegian culture. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Norwegian "spring" months:
March - downright winter, can often feel colder than January/February
April - fake spring, it occasionally behaves like spring, but you're stupid to fall for it
May - bipolar, you can get anything this month, like there can be heavy snowfall at the beginning of the month and then 2 weeks later a heatwave can come in, anything can happen and none of it lasts
Bipolar 🤣Yeah that pretty much sums it up alright. I've experienced 17th of May up north with snow everywhere and a couple of minus degrees, but when I was Russ back in 08, it was practically summer with shining sun and 25 degrees Celcius...
The crystal ball Saruman meme I believe they refer to how Norway supplied almost all of Europe with electricity and energy when Russia shut off the supply, thinking they could ''freeze'' Europe in the winter. Also, sticking true to the theme, I believe Norwegians like being ''mentioned'' or ''included'', it doesn't need to be a famous person, just that other people around the world talking about or discovering Norwegians I think makes us Norwegians feel abit ''proud'', in a strange way. I think it is because in the scope of Lord of the Rings, Norwegians are like Hobbits. We have always lived a mostly secluded and peaceful life, with not much negative interference from the outside world, and people from the outside world never knew much about Norway either, they had heard about it... But many can't even point it out on a map if you asked. When it comes to internationally, Norway have in many things often been overshadowed by Scandinavia's more interantionally ''famous'' Sweden when it came to being mentioned abroad.
I think it refers to the fact that last year the international media had huge reports that 70 billion tonnes of phosphate had been found in Norway (Dalane in Rogaland), a basic substance which is necessary for the green shift, and which is available in limited quantities. If the find had actually been 70 billion tonnes, the world's known stock would have more than doubled. A journalist had misunderstood the figures. The real figure is that 2 billion tonnes is possible to extract in relation to international standards - which, by the way, is also a large amount.

Both maybe?
First power, then this....
Maybe in some the near future we will find a large deposit of Scandium or something.
It may additionally be the seemingly huge deposits of thorium, which can become a valuable and safe reactor fuel in the near future. Hopefully.
@ahkkariq7406 Which is perfect seeing as Norway does actually put some effort into the whole green shift. Though I wish we would focus more on wave power rather than wind power. Like why? We don’t have a flat country, but we do have lots of places with a good amount of wave activity.
When war caused famine in Biafra, Nigera in the end of the 1960s Norway sent stockfish(dried cod). It is rich in protein,don't need any refrigeration and will keep for years. It was exactly what was needed and Nigera is still importing Norwegian stockfish.
So that was one time Norway summond up what was needed.
Sending stockfish is the most Norwegian solution I can think of. And hey. It worked. I should actually get some and see if I can make my own lutefisk from it.
Game of Thrones:
Winter is coming.
Norway:
Is summer coming this year though..?
"and there's a guys who's like: ah, yeah, okay" - man, that's the King of Netherlands.
The sad thing is that I wouldn`t bat an eye at a sauna rescuing some Tesla passangers. But when I see it from the outside, it is actualy hilaiously insane. Thanks for showing me.😂
The Minister of transportation in the USA, Pete Buttigieg, actually took the time and effort to learn Norwegian. Not to understand Norwegian memes but in order to be able to read the works of Norwegian writer Erlend Loe in the original language.
That's mad respect. In sharp contrast to his work as a US cabinet minister. 😅
@hansmarheim7620 Now that is a man of culture. I need to read more Loe. Oh and Fosse too.
@@MissCaraMint Please do. I also strongly recommend Lars Saabye Christensen 👍
The guy in the learn Norwegian memes is the King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander.
England in the snow: tbh this probably says more about the English willingness to take the day off than anything else😂
That 'some man' who wants to learn Norwegian is not just a random man, it's Willem Alexander, the king of The Netherlands😂😂😂 🇧🇻 🇳🇱
That tesla drove into the sea in Oslo like a week ago. So this is real.
I highly recomend the video «norways infinite money glitch» for a more comprehensive look innto norways resources, and our historical Conributions to europe. It provides a lot of contekst and facts to our history that i think will give a deeper understanding of how we became What we are today.
In Norway, in order to get a driver's licence you have to pass two sessions, one driving in the dark because we have dark periods of the year and the other driving on snow and ice. If you do not pass both of these, you lose your driver's livence until you pass them both. In short, Norwegians are supposed to know how to drive on snowy and icy roads.
Everyone should do this. There is more than snow and ice that can make the roads slippery/unsafe.
70 billions tonns of phosphate was recently discovered in Norway. It matches all known phosphate reserves in the world. Can be used for batteries and solar panels among other things. Norway also have natural gas, copper and aluminium. The statue of Liberty are made of copper from Norway.
70 billion tonnes is based on a wrong conclusion made by a journalist. The real figure is that 2 billion tonnes is possible to extract in relation to international standards - which, by the way, is also a large amount.
Ze Germans occupied Norway, partly because of our (and Swedens) large deposit of minerals too. There's in them there mountains. 🤘
@@Tacritania
There is a lot of metal not only in the mountains, but also in the music. 🤘
Norway do not have aluminium. We have imported bauxitt from among others Brazil. Then our hydropower have refined it to aluminium metal.
@@kirstenaas4450 So: if i understand you correctly
:
Norway has no aluminum resources at all. Or. We have, but it is cheaper to buy. Aluminum ore from other countries?
that guy with the thumb up ,is the Dutch king !!!
Norway mining recently found a huge supply of phosphate, an important part of tech-products. It almost doubled the known supply in the world and are gonna make Norway a lot of money :P
When you talk about never seen winter like this, maybe travel to Alaska, its still USA :)
Rare earths and massive phosphate resources have just been found too.
To be honest, the first snow in Norway makes everything chaotic. We get used to it, but it's like hell every year. We are all over the roads... and in the ditches😂 At least in southern parts.
Speak for yourself. Those who are in the ditch are people who have not prepared, and it is not unlikely that many of them are people who are not used to Norwegian winter. Most people are well prepared, and if they are not, they leave the car until they get the winter tires on. If they have to drive to the tire hotel, they wait until mid-day, when the snow has melted off the roads, or until the weather becomes mild.
The guy in the Norwegian Meme you translated is the King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander 😃👑
14:03 got gist of earlier Norwegian language meme before the translator kicked in. Then realised I understood this one. Oh no, I'm learning Norwegian off memes! 😂
@mskatonic7240 Great. Good job!
(Not sarcastic)
I'm fairly sure the crystal ball Saruman meme is in reference to the Norwegian government opening up for researching undersea mining (against EU recommendations (Norway is not part of the EU, but has a close working relationship with it))
We're happy anyone mentions Norway.
at the summers we got alot of golds for sailing, and shooting.. but yeah.. we win winter
It was a lumber crise in 2018-2019 i think. Then Norway, Sweden and Finland supported US and Canada with lumber
9:11 As a Norwegian, yes it’s true
It's sad to think that some people genuinely think it's a bad thing that Norwegian prisons are the way they are.
I can totally understand they have a bit mixed emotions about it. If you just see it on the surface it looks fine and dandy but when someone hurt your loved ones you don’t want them out in 2 years because of good behavior and having it very comfortable in jail with a lot of priveledges.
Getting a second chance and having less reoffences is good though.
@@mari97216 Out in 2 years? I think you'd have to give up a kidney to the justice minister for that to happen in Norway, if you're a violent offender.
@@makslesniewski nah, not really. R*pe has short sentences.
@mari97216 Between 3 and 15 years according to Lovdata. I mean I’ve heard of shorter.
I remember when i was little i had to wait for the school buss in -40 celsius
I always gets happy when someone on youtube mentions Norway when they are not from Norway 😂
About the snow...rigth now, where I live we have about 12-13 inch of snow, rain and frost in the ground. It's a bit...slippery? :D You learn to drive under these conditions. And I think rigth now, 1,93 meters is the most snow we have here.That's about 7 feet.
I learned English with World of Warcraft, an online game. I went from zero to a hundred in half a year ^^
We Are very good in summer Ol , loook ar our runners😀
Did you know that in Norway, we have a ski-centre that is only open during the summer? In the wintertime it is too much snow. (You have to dig down trough the snow to be able to see the ski lift. (Stryn sommerski-senter)
we also sell electrisity to countrys like England, Germany and Netherland
So between the Norway, Denmark and Sweden sibling rivalry, Norway is the oldest child, Denmark is the middle child and Sweden is the youngest child.
8:03: I think this refers to the latest discovery in Norway which is Europe’s largest deposit of rare earth metals…. Norway could get richer if the government choose to mine these metals.
exports: aluminum, iron, silicon, zinc, cobalt, marble.... In general, Norway is rich on minerals
It may not snow much in little Evansville, Indiana, but if snow kept kids out of school in Alaska (or Buffalo, NY, etc.), there'd be no school at all in winter.
5m snow, check
Winds 10 m/s, more like 22 m/s
-25 Celsius, check
School open, check
😂
We are sour... you did not mention the Kvikk Lunch you tasted. 😅
I was gonna mention the power/ electricity we supplied last year, but someone beat me to it. Electricity became so expensive here tho, that I almost froze my b**s of. 😂😢
I am from norway and i can say this is true
The Saruman meme is actually kind of true.
In 2023 we found large amounts of phosphate, vanadium and titanium metal, which is on the EU’s list of critically low minerals.
I am unawair if we take part in the summer olympics. Btw, the spiting can start in February or June. More often the last… 😢😂
We have a lot of Aluminium!
To elaborate on this: Mining of bauxite (aluminium ore) is one thing, but being able to refine it affordably is the real advantage here. Due to this Norway also import a lot of bauxite from nations that wouldn't be able to refine it cheaply. End result is that Norway is the biggest producer and supplier of aluminium in Europe, with Iceland as a close second due to their similarly cheap energy production (from geothermal).
There dont exist snow days here I think… Also, I don’t think schoolbusses is as common as it is in America.
If you consider Black Metal a resource we sell tons of that too^^ Nobody listens to it here tho, haha
I don't really listen to it myself but it's in the top of cultural exports I read. That's a fun fact
I know many people who listen to Black Metal, it's more listeners than you think 😄
@@vesla266 In Norway? I have a bunch of friends who listen to metal and even extreme stuf but none of them Black metal, more like the sweedish and finnish death ^^
@@nanach6276 I am a part of a friend gang, we spend time together listening to music. Most music we listen to is black metal ❤️😄🎶🎶
14:56 should have had ‘’learn norwegian with Minecraft’’ and had it be god tier and beyond
Minecraft is literally how i learned english, with teachers just teaching me things i wouldnt really need.
... and that is ironic in itself since Minecraft was developed by Norway's big brother Sweden ;) (bit inte huvudet av mig nu, för att skriva på svengelska, för jag bara skämtar lite med er norrmän1 :) )
11:15 I'm not even going to comment on that, being Swedish... Both Sweden and Denmark used to be huge empires. Lots of countries and oversea colonies belonged to the two of us. Sweden let Norway go as late as 1905. ;) Having said that, Norway had a touch of empire fever way back when, too.
its a meme ;)
Norway = Meg
Perfect!
Se denne tyler...
Of all our memes and this is what we are presented with. These are all lame
Tyler
I think I will start my own reaction channel reacting to Tyler. Thumbnail of me looking incredulous and smacking my own forehead.
@@nolajoy7759Yeah,that would be really enjoyable 😊 A stereotypical American who has no clue that she is, and that is as stereotypical American as you get 😂 Man, the obliviousness 🤔
Nah, just by the idiots. Oh wait, that is 99.9%. I guess you are right.
