Thank you for this! I am a Swede living in Japan since 1989, and seeing other people opening up to other cultures brings true joy to my heart. Beautiful! AND, you seem to be a nice guy too! :{
Them and the Dutch which isn't really a language, it's just German with twice the vowels and consonants. Finnish isn't really a language, it's more of a noise.
Johan Glans is a genius. Mostly because he doesn't offend, but explains himself. Makes us recognize ourselves. He can, sublimely, make us embarrassed, yet not feel struck. He knows our sweat-spots and always not angry.
I had to look it up: "grädde" - is cream in Swedish. And his joke is that you add the suffix -ur to Swedish words to make the Icelandic equivalent. But "gräddur" means greedy So he has done some research 🙂
@@Palle_PloppI don't speak or even read Icelandic, but according to Google Translate, there seems to be three almost similar words meaning totally different things, but spelled slightly differently: grædur - makes money græddur - grafted gráður - degrees Also google translate: horny - horaður I'm sure Icelandic people are better at their own language than Google Translate, and I have seen some crazy translations to and from Swedish (my language) by Google Translate over the years, but now I'm confused. 🤔🤪
@@fandersstrom I see, so quite different to Swedish, where æ looks like ä and sounds approximately like the ai in air and á is just a long a, as in bar (or would be if we ever used it; we do use the é though, in some words inherited from French, like idé - idea).
What he says in Icelandic a few times that ends with "fyndur". He explains it in the beginning- that he read in an Icelandic newspaper that "Swedes are also funny". So when you asked what he said at one point, he had just made a joke that didn't land well and added "I am funny!" in Icelandic , referencing the newspaper.
I've seen Johan alot but never seen him doing anything in English and I were really surpriced. He did it really good! And then the next thought is how close we nordic countries really are.. He basically walks up and say "Hello Island... you talk wierd" and they are "Yes we know" and then he roasts Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden as well... it's just perfect. And yes... all islandic I know is just to add "gur" after anything. He hittgur the spotgur.
This is a thing in scandinavia, we're 5 countrys and we make fun of eachother all the time like siblings, and the love is the same. If Island faces Sweden in a spots event we HATE eachother, but after the results we go back to being best bros. I kinda love that :D
gräddur sounds more like the word for horny in Icelandic - graður. And the Swedish word for horny is kåt but in Icelandic it means happy - kátur. I was a little bit offended the first time my employer asked me if I was happy....
You HAVE to watch Grotesco’s ”Ett kilo mjöl!” I don’t know if it’s translated, but it’s an underrated true classic, and one of their best according to me✨✨
The headline in the newspaper: "Actually, swedes are/can be funny!" I guess it's about neighboring countries that heckle each other. Swedes can be considered stiff and too proper compared to Danes, Finns, etc
If you want more Johan Glans in english he did a TV show together with Peter Stormare called "Swedish Dicks". (Keanu Reeves also has a prominent role in it.) Not written by Johan himself but still funny.
I went to Iceland a bit over 10 years ago and what he says about the sights vs smells is VERY TRUE. I encountered some uniquely potent stinks over there.
13:00 - Tour, as in world tour. Also is joke about adding -ur to all words when talking Swedish to people on Island so he ensured himself of being understood. ;) J. Glans usually brings jokes along throughout his performance integrating them, merging spindling and so on in funny ways.
Johan Glans is the very best Sweden has. He is even better unscripted, and you can see in this, when he clearly goes off script he is so funny! He is very loved in Sweden and has a good reputation as a person too.
"Svear äru visst fyndig folk" title in the newspaper 3:53 I don't know Iclandic, but I think that'd mean "Swedes are actually a funny people" There some similarities between Swedish and Icelandic. I think it'd be way easier to understand once you get used to the dialect. I don't speak Dutch either, but I understand it better (to me it sounds like a mixture of Swedish, English and German (and I don't know German). Though I just checked up dialects of Dutch and I didn't understand skit.
It's true. I'm Swedish. I understand most dialects/accents of Norwegian, but Danish... That's VERY difficult. Except written - that's basically Norwegian to me. To be fair - I live pretty close to the Norwegian border and my dialect is closer to Norwegian than for example the made up gay TV-"dialect" "Stockholmish".
I'm sorry, the first criticism from me - I couldnt hear what Johan Glans said, but since I missed it I'll try to find some link with sound... Love your work, keep reacting to us Swedes... . Now I saw the show, I would have liked reacted with you, but it was good fun... Love from Sweden 💖

13:35 I believe he is playing with the word tour, I think his show is called world tour of Scandinavia, but the island is word tour is something else, but that’s my guess
You should watch Ari Eldjárn. He is icelandic but makes joke about all of the nordics. He is a stand up comedian and the show is like one hour long. He speaks mostly in english and he is hilarious
I think Johan Glans is the only stand-up comedian in Sweden that is almost always funny. Therare some others that can be funny ocationally, like Magnus Betnér. But Johan Glans is quality.
@@AudunWangen don't know if it's the same, but in swedish it's like someone just stated we're not funny, and you're contradicting that. Stomping your foot verbally
@@mercurious5053 Yes. That's a good point. It's often used sarcastically, as the opposite of "surely/for certain". That is kind of why I wondered, because it's a little confusing. What did they actually mean when they wrote that? 😅
Icelandic is close enough to Swedish and sometimes 100% intelligible to us.. And at the same time it sometimes is 100% unintelligible. If I listen to spoken Icelandic. It is like someone is tuning in a radio. Jibberish jibberish..suddenly a sentence that sounds exactly the same as swedish and makes perfect sense, jibberish. Yes daddy harder please...jibberish jibberish.. did you take the haddock out for it's afternoon walk?
Im swed so i understand everything..kniv means knife ..knivur in icelandic and grädde is cream..the head line in the paper whas swedish people are funny to..whih a icelandic twitsh fyndig type make some funny up. When icelandic people speak god inglish they sound like north irish people with there R`s like pirat vikings and yes they are mixed several hundreds years ago,,, they have swedish words with ur ending an danish words with ur ending an norwegan words with an ur ending and old brittish words you dont understand anymore. Finland use endings to even if the did not kreated the word.. 50 procent of finnland knows swedish but only 30 procent can speak it overall.they have villiges that only speaks swedish yet today after swedish invasion of the baltic countries some hundred years ago. And yes Estonia and finnland where submerged in land before the russian cut them in half to acces the baltic sea.and they still have a spot betwen Estonia and lituania..the same thing there doing and done to ukrainians and asian ilands..
Well, these clips are all really old. When he first did World Tour Of Skåne, it was fresh and hilarious. Now we've gotten used to his humour, and people have copied him, as well.
Thank you for this! I am a Swede living in Japan since 1989, and seeing other people opening up to other cultures brings true joy to my heart. Beautiful! AND, you seem to be a nice guy too! :{
Every consonant that the Danes refuse to use, the Finns take over and use in tenfold.
🤣🤣🤣
Them and the Dutch which isn't really a language, it's just German with twice the vowels and consonants. Finnish isn't really a language, it's more of a noise.

Tungur knivur means heavy knife.
Tung kniv in swedish.
Its from a 80s viking movie called The ravens flight.(korpen flyger)
Känner mig som 12 igen när jag såg den.
I had to look it up: "grädde" - is cream in Swedish. And his joke is that you add the suffix -ur to Swedish words to make the Icelandic equivalent. But "gräddur" means greedy So he has done some research 🙂
I think the joke is that "gräddur" sounds like "graður" which means 'horny' in Icelandic.
@@Palle_PloppI don't speak or even read Icelandic, but according to Google Translate, there seems to be three almost similar words meaning totally different things, but spelled slightly differently:
grædur - makes money
græddur - grafted
gráður - degrees
Also google translate:
horny - horaður
I'm sure Icelandic people are better at their own language than Google Translate, and I have seen some crazy translations to and from Swedish (my language) by Google Translate over the years, but now I'm confused. 🤔🤪
@@johnnyrosenberg9522æ is pronounced "ai" and á is pronounced "au", so those words don't sound like "graður", which indeed means horny (kåt).
@@fandersstrom I see, so quite different to Swedish, where æ looks like ä and sounds approximately like the ai in air and á is just a long a, as in bar (or would be if we ever used it; we do use the é though, in some words inherited from French, like idé - idea).

Johan Glans is excellent, funny without bad language.
Glans is brilliant. His feelgood comedy is one of a kind

The acupuncture joke is really good.
The smell he's referring to is the sulphur smell from all the hot springs.
😂 He is soo funny! Everytime I feel low, I put on something with Johan Glans and laughing til I cry😄
He’s my fave! Been lucky to see two of his shows!
gräddur sounds more like the word for horny in Icelandic - graður. And the Swedish word for horny is kåt but in Icelandic it means happy - kátur. I was a little bit offended the first time my employer asked me if I was happy....
Not very long ago, maybe a hundred years ago or so, kåt meant happy in Swedish too.
@@johnnyrosenberg9522That gives the saying “is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me” a whole new meaning.
@@johnnyrosenberg9522 så sant, tänkte inte på det :)
Johan Glans is very intelligent and on top of that his superb theatrical delivery comes natural - genios!
Johan is soooo awesome! As a Swede I follow you to see great Swedish comedy. 😂 Strange world we live in. Thanks.

How can one not love Johan Glans ❤❤❤
One of the best things with Johan is that he's like the GB comedians, quick on his feet and never out of an answer...
GB?
If you want more Johan Glans in english he did a TV show together with Peter Stormare called "Swedish Dicks". (Keanu Reeves also has a prominent role in it.) Not written by Johan himself but still funny.
And Traci Lords as the villain
Johan Glans was in a comedy scetch show called "Kvarteret Skatan", see if you can find anything of that with Eng. subs.
The smell he's talking about is probably the smell of sulfur from the volcanic activity around the island. :D
4:25 I believe it is: “Swedish people is also funny” but I’m Swedish so I’m not sure
Johan Glans has the exact same energy when speaking in Swedish, doing his shows. That is what makes him so likable. One of the things at least! 😁
I went to Iceland a bit over 10 years ago and what he says about the sights vs smells is VERY TRUE. I encountered some uniquely potent stinks over there.
It smells sulphur in the air on Iceland 😊 interesting but not so nice according to me. But I love Iceland, fantastic landscape!

Tungur knivur is like "heavy knife"
The video "Swedish comedian Johan Glans with English subtitles" by overalloverkill should be next!

I don't know if there are subtitled clips from the show "Kvarteret Skatan" starring Johan Glans, if there are then that's a recommendation.
He has done a world tour too, which he started in Ireland. Maybe there are something filmed from that tour too
I love your personality❣️
13:35 I believe he is playing with the word tour, I think his show is called world tour of Scandinavia, but the island is word tour is something else, but that’s my guess
Johan Glans accent is so heavy in all of the languages he speaks here, even his own.
check out johan glans and björn gustafsson abba medley!
I love how people say "for a swede" and then go on to express a personal opinion.
You should watch Ari Eldjárn. He is icelandic but makes joke about all of the nordics. He is a stand up comedian and the show is like one hour long. He speaks mostly in english and he is hilarious
Tungur knivur, yes we all know that xD
Morgonsoffan, Kvarteret Skatan, Hipp Hipp and Nilecity 105.6 you should check out more of.
It´s tooo low sound level when glans is speaking. Can bearly hear him.
Too low volume at the video you're looking at.
You are great!!
An explanation about his style of stand up, very typical of Swedish popular humor in tv shows and Swedish movies - act awkward/be an awkward character
You shuld take a look at Özz Nugien. An excellent Swedish-Kurdish comedian.
I think Johan Glans is the only stand-up comedian in Sweden that is almost always funny. Therare some others that can be funny ocationally, like Magnus Betnér. But Johan Glans is quality.
Why so short? There were good material after this as well.
Gotta say, as a Swede, his accent was a lot better than i expected. Normally the Swedish accent makes my ears bleed
You should watch ”ett kilo mjöl”!!
Car/Bil is auto in finish.
HEAVY KNIFE
You need to search for 'Hipp Hipp ' and 'Karatefylla'.
You must react to Karatefylle - våldtäcktsskämtet
I LOVE jOHAN
johan is great
Why is the text on screen the enitre video lol
To avoid a copyright strike.
First time?
I wunder if you can
se Galen skaparna
After shave, Macken
Vist fyndir . My guess is: swedish people CAN be fun 😉
Jonathan unge = only Swedish comedian who is top 10 worldwide. Would be so funny if he did English. Check him out
I really wanted to watch this but i cant hear shit. Dont turn the video audio down.
Svear äru visst fyndir - swedes ARE funny
If "visst" has the same meaning in icelandic as in Norwegian and Swedish it means "apparently" or "surely". Not sure about which one in this case.
@@AudunWangen don't know if it's the same, but in swedish it's like someone just stated we're not funny, and you're contradicting that. Stomping your foot verbally

Like creamur/gräddur
Islandic it’s hard to understand. We in Sweden joke about it, we end every word with letters ur and it sounds like Islandic.

Period!
they're bloody awful!
Believe in Jesus Christ, trust in Him for your eternal salvation and repent of your sins!
Sorry all your videos have very Low volym so cant watch them.
For a Sweden it’s actually easier to understand Johan Glans speaking English than when he use his normal Scania accent.
Hmm, nice try! But you’re not quite as funny as Johan… 👍🏻🤡
@@MrsHelloSpotlight No but I’m a truth teller. You Scanian.
The Brooke Shield part ruined it.
Why
I find Johan Glans quite boring. To a Swede at least, none of the observations are new and a lot of the jokes are predictable.
