I'm Norwegian too, and like others have said, it sounds more like a norwegian speaking german or dutch. Btw, i love the part where he goes "høre snøre heste klørne", almost sounds like he's trying to read norwegian tounge twisters a couple of places. Anyways, monty python is epic, and the referances to norway throughout the shows and films are hillarious.

It sounds like a weird mix of German, Dutch, Welsh and Faroese.

This is not Norwegian, but it actually made more sense than what our politicians come up with. (and yes, I am Norwegian). ;)

this is pretty hilarious lol...I'm Norwegian myself and Monty python is gold...precious gold^_^

"In Norge vi hate våre system". Sant nok! Kudoz!

i'm norwegian, and i find this video funny as hell ! it's such a brilliant parody :D

Børk børk børk!

OK we get it, it's not real Norwegian. Can we please stop arguing over that and get to the real issue here? Are there really Norwegian girls with massive knockers who will seriously do anything for me? That's what matters here!

"this is more like Dutch" ; "this is nonsense" ; "'this is not Norwegian" Hey people, where did you put your brains? Has it been washed in the world wide web information laundry? This is Monty Python's Flying Circus. Is it funny or not?

This sounds like a person from Holland that grew up in Iceland is trying to speak a mix of german and finnish. But we love it!

I, for one, will be voting Norwegian in the next election. I want to hear more about the girl from Trondheim.

That settles it. I'm voting for the Norwegian Party in 2018.

Trondheim Yeah!!!

Eric is the funniest Python. Michael next, then JC. His Mr Smoketoomuch is hilarious

Hahaha, this never gets old! I'm Norwegian too, and this sounds like dutch to me, but still alot of fun! At least they got "Norge" right, and just threw in some Æ, Ø and Å to make it sound even better!! Love Monty Python!!

Massive knockers you say, where do I put my cross? 😂

Good to hear that you like it. Ever been in Norway before? And that quote I put in, that was from Petter Solberg, Norways greatest rally driver. It was after a race he said "But but, it's not only only". Now that's typical Norwegian-English. The reason why, is because Norwegian and English is mostly different when it comes to building sentences. Norwegian is a difficult language, as you may have noticed. Well, I don't like British humour that much. But I gotta say, Monthy Python rules!

"Es gutar" - Good Morning. Very funny! XD

this is absolutely randomly genious brilliant stuff.

Tror det var med vilje faktisk =P Vi har mange ord som kommer fra Tyskland osv. Han utnyttet sikkert bare det. I loove Monty Python! =D Love it, love it, love it

Dette var konge. This was awsome. Sounds like Danish and German to me but you could hear some Norwegian words there

You just said it yourself! We are being mentioned=) Means a lot to us! But hey, i say this with my hand planted on my heart: This little country has more beautiful women than the rest of the world all together. Seriously, I was in Liverpool for 5 days, and I saw one cute girl, and when I got to the airport back home I was completely overwhelmed with all the beauty this country has to offer! Give us some credit for that will you? We must have most beautiful sperm..

My respect (and large appreciation) for Monty Python’s humour is based on the fact that they are willing to laugh at their own nation’s idiosyncrasies before poking other nations … sorry, text error - I meant poking FUN AT other nations. 😳

I have to wonder if Louis XVI actually got away with the Montgolfier Bros hot air balloon plans?

Enable subtitles. It will add another level to this sketch :)

Det lyder som hollandsk talt bagfra. It sounds like dutch reversed

Oooh the start of 'The Golden Age of Ballooning' Terry Guilliam's first Cartoon.

Swedish and Islandic dialectan mixed in once, really masterstick!

thats gibbirish norwegian with a german accent

This sounds like dutch to me (norwegian)

The cutoff at the end is the funniest part somehow

hahaha! awesome! loved the end there

American here. I'd vote Norwegian any day if given the chance. Don't have to convince me.

He does a good impression of a Norwegian accent, but it's no Norwegian for sure...

well as a norwegian myself, i gotta say... this was hilarious. standard monty python wit;)

Reading the comments for this skit is more hillaroius than the skit itself and Im ozzie . Dont know Finnish Norwegian Dutch German but you lot do.The humour being everyone disowning the dialect hes speaking yet thinking its kinda right .Proof positive pythons humanity is universal .LOve It

Throwing in my two cents... I'm English but learned German, and it does sound like the latter in sound (with Austrian inflections). Obviously the language is intelligible as everyone points out. The subject of what different languages 'sound' like to different people is really fascinating!

I am norwegian and could gather like... 3 words. The rest was just gibberish and hey... We don't sound like that

all i could tell that sounded slightly norwegian was 'ja, vi har'

This is pure genious! *laughs* Elskbart !

:))) I believe how hard is to speak any scandinavian language not being one himself :) good job Eric :)

This sounds like a norwegian speaking english...

Now I know where the Idea for "Swedish chef" came from!

I don't know either Norwegian nor German and one of the first things that I noticed was that he sounded more GERMAN than anything else... HAHAHA! Awesome!

This is brilliant... It isn't norwegian, but that's not the point either. Eric speaks like norwegian sound to the brittish. I am norwegian and I find this scetch VERY amusing.

@Hopleet I noticed that too- its either tremendous national pride, or they simply miss home...

LOL LOL LOL .. hørtes litt tysk og litt dansk innemellom.. Ikke lett for stakkars Mr Idle å skjønne dette merkelige gækkemålet vi har! :)

He sounds like a norwegian impersonating a dutchman.

That was great

You're absolutely right ;D

Yes, there is. If you get them drunk enough, that is!

I lol'd so much.

That cinches it for me; I'm voting Norwegian Party in next year's mid-terms!

bloody hilarious!

You name it, they know it.

Wick, the nearest large twon to Norway. LOL

As much as I love Monthy Python, that scarcely even sounded like norwegian ;) Ah well, guess we now know how the hungarians feel about the "hovercraft is full of eels" sketch :D

Ok this sounds like a Drunk Dane trying to speak German to a Dutchman.

Sheesh, I`m norwegian and I loved this clip! Of course any person speaking english would hear Norwegian like this! :D Brilliant!

hahaha! Funny stuff! I actually understood a word or two!

While Norway seems really nice now, just remember that they'll eventually run out of oil money in about 500 years.

@amberisabella Well, I see your point. The strangest thing with speaking a language is the fact that you don't know how it sounds for others, you just hear the meaning. It's fun to see how Norwegian sounds for English speaking people^^ And the fact that we have many long vocals, which we have in common with Dutch, is well preserved in this sketch.

NÆH???? Takk for at du fortalte oss alle det!

Haha! Omg! I'm Norwegian and i love it when British people jokes about Norway! xD

Could not have agreed more. And i'm from Norway.

Nailed it!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Sounds almost exactly like Dutch, and very little like Norwegian. That aside, I love this sketch.

@Niobesnuppa It doesn't sound German either. I think they just invented a totally new Language xD

For most english, norwegian sounds like dutch, and vice versa. Love Monty Python!

* LoL * I am from Norway - and this is in fact funny! I like the way he pronounse our language -- it sounds like Dutch - but I do pick up some norwegian words : ' Yes, gutter' = Yes, boys' and ' I norge vi hater vårt system' = 'In Norway we hate our system ' and he says : 'Trondheim,' Wich is our third largest city in Norway. I love that Monty Python makes a joke about us!

the funny thing is that it sounds more like dutch than norwegian, although there are some norwegian words in this clip.. Anyhow, as a norwegian, i must say that monthy python rocks!

Thanks for the know gutting for Denmark.

It's funny because it sounds exactly like what other people think Norwegians sound like. And in the beginning he got a few of the words right, which makes me think he was inspired by a Norwegian friend. (After a while, it deteriorates into pure gibberish.)

Funny and accurate as hell.

sounds like the swedish chef in the muppets

Im from norway, and for uss it sounded more dutch :P but he said some norwegian stuff!! dont know if he knew he did, but man! he said random stuff like: here in norway, we hate snow etc! freakin funny :D

hahahaha!! this is freaking funny xD they should make the swedish version too xD

Ahh, been TO! I'll remember that one. Yes, it is expensive here. As for the Germans who come here, they just gotta taste the beer, and then they complain about how expensive it is. I actually got a little headstart of learning English before I had it as a subject in school, I kind of studied through shows on TV and videogames. So right now I get top grades in English, and always getting comments on my American accent from my teacher. Yeah, umm, merry Christmas by the way!

Well, it is forty years old!

I think it sounds more finnish than norwegian, but it's very funny to listen to this=D Monty Python are so great!

man, bokmål is crazy!

Honestly, they'll do anything for you

very true indeed

haha, what an honor to be made fun of by monty python

Det er umulig å forstå hva han sier!

@putty1994 yeah "The ministry of silly walks" is by far the best one =P

oh, yeah. you're right, I never paid attention to that. And he also says "I Norge vi hater vårt system" - which is totally hilarious. ;)

I'm Danish and can confirm that this is proper Norwegian - as we understand it....

I figured he probably was

@MCullenHightopp Of course! How did I not realize this sooner!

Yes, and i'd says its an easy task. Come, i'll take you to a party. If you can't find this girl here in Norway, you will not find her anywhere!

Just dig his genuine diction of unadulterated yet prurient Norwegianisms......ja!

@MrMamimuma Note that Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are all closely-related Germanic languages, with German as a cousin of sorts.

Fwl, det är uppenbarligen danska, eller något annat obegripligt språk som talas.^_^

Haha, the ach sound is atleast not from Norway, but he got a couple of words correct

0:12 "i norge hater vi systemet. 0:17 Vi hater snø". Helt sant, dette her!

Same here!

hehe, sounds more like someone from Island for me, but i am norwegian. i think it was a good imitation as well:)

Hahahahahaaa^^ Awesome! I couldn't even understand what he was saying, and I'm norwegian! I caught a few words, though...
