+ruispuuro and growing a depression, drinking Russian Vodka and sitting in the Sauna, perfectly silent. ;) btw: Are the movies of Aki Kaurismäki close to reality?
+turbostewi We actually don't drink vodka in finland, we drink viina, which looks the same but the taste is completely different. The kaurismäki movies are not that far away from reality , but of course they are exaggeratedd a little bit. I think they show what finland used to be like in the 70-80's but nowadays we're pretty international and outgoing. But every now and then you will find somebody who is straight out of a kaurismäki movie. For example our F1 driver Kimi Räikkönen is a good example.
This all looked pretty accurate for a Finnish talk show, except the accent was waaayyy far off. sounded like some kind of a swedish/german hybrid. Also im almost sure that the finnish airports have never in the history of aviation lost a single piece of luggage. −Born and bred in Helsinki
Tae Young Ahn Actually, everybody in Finland speaks Finnish (except immigrants and the like) - some Swedish-speaking Finns just have an accent when they do (they're usually from the west coast or Åland Islands). XD Kalle is also a man's name. Seeing it on a woman is quite a pun.
DeltaSilver88 actually there are finnish people who don't speak finnish at all :-D Some finnish swedes speak only swedish cause they live in areas where they need only swedish.
DeltaSilver88 Also in Vaasa for example :-) I used to work in a travel agency that provided flights straight from Vaasa, and the customers that called from there didn't speak any Finnish. I was so surprised, before that I would've never thought it would be possible :-D
That was hilarious 😂, too bad the Kalle show was only one time thing, it would have been great to have other "guests" in the show. Maybe we have a clip of that? 🤣
I find it funny how every time Finland is being referred to in a show, it always seems more Swedish. Kalle is a male name anyway. Still a funny sketch.
@@markmark.marcial ok how many times did it take you to realize the show has Kalle as doing most of the work, some dude as director and the rest of the crew is just 80 researchers. I think this was my 10th time returning to this sketch. First time catching that joke.
@@JoCar229 : Us Finns aren't known to be very talkative. We can be called quite introvertic and we do like our personal space, true, and it's in our culture to respect the personal space of others too. But once we do get closer we actually get very warm and experience friendship, love and family all the more deeply.
Thank you so much Elaini. I asked mainly because one of my friends in university was an exchange student from Finland and he was reserved and I took It that perhaps it was his personality, being in a new country, let alone continent. He was awkward but cute at the same time, and loved beer lol. Thank you
+Robert Hall my old teacher is Kalle. He is about 2 meters tall and has a small almost bald head. Oh and he never thaught me nothing. BUt he is kind and watches too much sports.
Finns are incredibly shy and withdrawn - very intelligent. The uptightness is right on! It's a not a very accurate Finnish accent, but will do. All in all, funny, we have a clip!
***** It's a running gag in sweden and norway for that matter that finnish people are big burly people who drink vodka all day and hunt, people also say that they don't like russians because of the war between russia and finland :P So finns are dunken badass huntsmen up in the mountains. If i were finnish i would be cool with that :D
***** Better to say: The way many American English perceive and imitate Scandinavians. That's still closer to Swedish than Finnish. They usually don't have an experience of Finnish, but of some Sandinavian and the German language. So yah, yah is Swedish, German for them. The ascetisism, and bluntness, abruptness in this vid was Finnish. Well, the way Finns go stiff and alert when they 'have to behave', not being allowed to be themselves, the non-pretending country folk we'd like to be without having to be on guard to perform the etiquette. Often Finns only perceve this need of restricting themselves, so it's a self-made restriction, often. Swedes have their court experience for hundreds of years, parfumed wig parties, so they wouldn't behave like this 'Kalle'. :)
What a great tribute to Carl Pellonpaa who holds the record for the longest running program (Suomi Kutsuu - Finland Calling on WLUC-TV) with one host in the history of broadcasting.
I almost died laughing. That's so off on all levels it made it even funnier. Everything from the host having a man's name to that horrible accent that has never been uttered before, I like to think the research team jokes are a quip at your own.

THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE PARODY OF SNL. I always keep myself coming back to it. It's hilarious, especially if you watch it when you're high (recommended). And Finnish people being offended to almost everything about this parody makes it even more real and fun HAHAHAHAHAHAH
ehhh we're not offended, though it is weird that the female host had a very typical male name, a danish/german accent, and the names in the credits had the wrong letters
Made the mistake of taking a drink, just as they had a clip of Katy coming on to the show. Fizzy juice right through the nostrils! So funny, I nearly choked to death!
mrsarun I'm german and for me it sounded like swedish/scandinavian intonation (meaning the "prosody") and not the slightest bit "deutsch" (some strong bias of mine...). I know how finnish sounds and I can't imagine any american to emulate english with that accent. But I couldn't either do that...
The only thing that vaguely reminded me of Finnish TV was the introduction and ending graphics, otherwise it seems like SNL completely missed any Finnish stereotypes and mixed it up with Scandinavian ones
Yeah I get you, I’m half Finnish and half Norwegian myself. Not that SNL’s Scandinavian sketches are any better, but I don’t blame them for being inaccurate when they have so many sketches to churn out each week since it’s just for laughs. Although it’s a tiny bit annoying, cause like if you’re gonna poke fun at stereotypes that happen to be inaccurate, at least remember who those inaccurate stereotypes apply to lol
Common misconception, people tend to thing the Nordics and Scandinavia are one and the same, which is not true. Finnish and Iceland are part of the Nordic region, which includes all of Scandinavia. Scandinavia consists of three countries who share three close-knit languages and cultures: Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The more you know.
Having lived in Finland now for over three years, I'm disappointed to see how nothing like Finland this skit ends up being. The concept is still funny though.
I think they didn't so much care which nation they used as a basis for the idea, just threw a dart at a map of Europe, and whichever country the dart landed on, those would be the guys who wouldn't enjoy the end result
Finnish accent must be the hardest one to impersonate. Haven't met a single one who could do it. Also, they need more info how Finns spend their evenings. But we are indeed 'stiff'/emotionless, that one was true.
I haven't the faintest clue as to why SNL made a skit about a Finnish talkshow. But it worked, from the catchy theme tune to the "We have a clip" device.
That accent is more of a... I dunno, german-somethingsomething accent? Also, we Finns actually tend to speak pretty slowly (at least English since it's so much different language than our own). And the name Kalle, it's a boys name, not girls. Sure, in Finalnd there can be gorls named with a boys name and vice versa but it's super rare. This video did not have a good research team...
@@lajoswinkler Humor about stereotypes can be great but it requires knowing what stereotypes are associated with the culture you're making fun of. This thing is a whole lot of nonsense and basically the only remotely funny thing is having a clip for everything - which can't even be associated with Finnish talk shows so they could've just stuck with a setting they'd be more familiar with instead of trying to make fun of Finns and failing in the process. Still waiting for someone to make a brilliant sketch using some proper rally English...

Im from Sweden aswell.
mrsarun I'm german and for me it sounded like swedish/scandinavian intonation (meaning the "prosody") and not the slightest bit "deutsch" (some strong bias of mine...). I know how finnish sounds and I can't imagine any american to emulate english with that accent. But I couldn't either do that...
The only thing that vaguely reminded me of Finnish TV was the introduction and ending graphics, otherwise it seems like SNL completely missed any Finnish stereotypes and mixed it up with Scandinavian ones
Yeah I get you, I’m half Finnish and half Norwegian myself. Not that SNL’s Scandinavian sketches are any better, but I don’t blame them for being inaccurate when they have so many sketches to churn out each week since it’s just for laughs. Although it’s a tiny bit annoying, cause like if you’re gonna poke fun at stereotypes that happen to be inaccurate, at least remember who those inaccurate stereotypes apply to lol
This is the first time *EVER* I'm hearing Finland is not a Scandinavian country. I think you're lying. Or drunk.
Common misconception, people tend to thing the Nordics and Scandinavia are one and the same, which is not true. Finnish and Iceland are part of the Nordic region, which includes all of Scandinavia. Scandinavia consists of three countries who share three close-knit languages and cultures: Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The more you know.
@@mariharjuskeie453 Interesting bit of information. I've learned something new from presumably a reliable source, judging by your name. Thank you.
1:46 Katy: I understand that but when I came to your show...
Kristen: Oh we have a clip.
LMAO...:D
Having lived in Finland now for over three years, I'm disappointed to see how nothing like Finland this skit ends up being. The concept is still funny though.
I think they didn't so much care which nation they used as a basis for the idea, just threw a dart at a map of Europe, and whichever country the dart landed on, those would be the guys who wouldn't enjoy the end result
it’s part of the joke
Yeah they could have called this a “Danish Talk Show” and it would be like this too lol
You have been in Finland so long you have totally absorbed the culture. Vahvasti suomalainen!
As a finnish person i respect this
Finnish accent must be the hardest one to impersonate. Haven't met a single one who could do it. Also, they need more info how Finns spend their evenings. But we are indeed 'stiff'/emotionless, that one was true.
Yes, they need to show her at home drinking Koskenkorva or Lapin Kulta. ;)
i'm finnish and not even i can do the "finnish accent" :D
Khams No, we are not stiff and emotionless.
No.
Give me ten minutes and I shall cease frowning.
And then comment further.
I'm Finnish-American and I can do the Finnish accent (even though I have an American accent while speaking normally) :D
Actually, they seem very serious.
this is the typical swedish talkshow
Robin Lindqvist No :-(
no it's not
Swedish and Finnish are the same thing. But it's cute when you guys try to pretend you're different lol.
I didn't think I was gunna laugh. That shyt was funny AF.
I have fallen in love with the intro.
Already seen it 20 times.
Can't get enough of Kristen Wiig... i have got a clip!!
I love that charakter! :D
“I’m gonna leave now.” - They all do. (Wow that’s dark)
I haven't the faintest clue as to why SNL made a skit about a Finnish talkshow. But it worked, from the catchy theme tune to the "We have a clip" device.
Kristen's father is of Norwegian descent. She seemed to have some interest in doing the occasional Scandinavian characters, including Björk.
Next time Kalle needs to invite Kim K., ask her how she got famous and play a clip.
This is so funny! I'm Finnish and dying from laughter! :D
We have a clip!
No nii mäki Suomi kyl alkaa nousta maailman valoon
Olispa suomalaiset talk showt edes näin hyviä :D
täsmälleen! :D
kahvikakku totta tosin posse on paras tähä mennes
What is that dance at the end? xD
Its brilliant! XD
She's rebooting.
Perkele Polka.
I think it's Finnish twerking.
What is this accent. I have been to Finland 8 times as well as being part finish and kristen wigg is nothing like a finnish person
Mikael Parrilla lol
What is - part finish ? Did You gross the Finish Line or Finnish Line ?
The vast research team at the end is what got me🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Ooh! We have a clip!"
such a funny gag.
"Se fjutscha" XD XD XD
Best line. XD
Best research Team EU.
love this, pls more!
Always come back for this. Amazing skit.
It's funny how she happily says "we have a clip" throughout, but at 2:38, she says it regretfully.
btw, Kalle isn't female's name.
Kalle is a nickname for Karl in swedish
This was expertly done 😂😂😂
Finnish people are number one coffee drinkers in a word! Nobody drinks as much coffee as a finn. (And you just had tea?) And Kalle is a mans name...
That accent is more of a... I dunno, german-somethingsomething accent? Also, we Finns actually tend to speak pretty slowly (at least English since it's so much different language than our own). And the name Kalle, it's a boys name, not girls. Sure, in Finalnd there can be gorls named with a boys name and vice versa but it's super rare.
This video did not have a good research team...
not german, dutch or swedish
Da Atte doesnt sound like german at all
I think you don't have a sense of humor. If you had one, you'd realize this was ... humor, not a documentary.
Finnish is really a weird language, can’t recognize a single word in it. Just like Hungarian. Alien languages.
@@lajoswinkler Humor about stereotypes can be great but it requires knowing what stereotypes are associated with the culture you're making fun of. This thing is a whole lot of nonsense and basically the only remotely funny thing is having a clip for everything - which can't even be associated with Finnish talk shows so they could've just stuck with a setting they'd be more familiar with instead of trying to make fun of Finns and failing in the process.
Still waiting for someone to make a brilliant sketch using some proper rally English...
katy’s emotionless acting made it funnier
I was kind of expecting them to just stay silent
They casually bulit a time machine for a tv show. And they're so rigid they didn't consider the wide ranging implications of it outside of a tv show.
No, they just have such a very good research team.
As i Finn I can honestly say that this is way better than any talk show we have on TV
Why does SNL present all Scandinavians as creepy blonde robots. It's funny as hell but it doesn't make any sense.
Lazy Spark because nordic people are blonde robots
***** But I'm English. So English people being blonde robots means that Scandinavians are as well?
***** Not really but whatever.
Well I know what you're saying but Finland is not a part of Scandinavia, and neither is Iceland.
Because they haven't done their research good enough 😉
