This is a spoof of Finnish actor Jarmo Mäkinen who made commercials with K-Rauta (think Home Depot) for Sweden. They were on tv aaaall the time for years.

I am from Sweden and I just wanted to say that this is no stereotypes this is reality

As born in Finland, living in Sweden; this is funny as hell😅 The actor is Johan Pettersson btw.

The character is based on a, back then, long-running series of commercials by the finnish hardware store K-rauta here in Sweden, and Jarmo is the name of the actor in the commercials. Example in the end. Unfortunately no subtitles.

The last one was the original one. K Rauta is shop for mostly builders.

both Swedish and Finnish.... i freaking LOVE Jarmo :) the stereotypes are fantastic and hilarious and certainly have a grain of truth to them

I love this one, cause I love Nordic banter. It's a parody of a real commerical (oh they showed it at the end, I love that one too). Partaj is pronounced like partai (with a weak R), we don't have that J sound for J, slang for party. He's a really famous comedy actor, done a lot of kid shows.

This is pure gold. Im a swede with a finnish grandmother and I also used to work with alot of finns. These slaps back and forth is just that and no one take offense .. at least it used to be like that.

Yes Jarmo is a Finish actor living in Sweden 🇸🇪 this was a parodi off him haha 😂

As a finn seeing this first time today I must say I love it! :D

This describes the different between Swedish mentality and the Finnish sisu. But in an extreem way.

The finnish accent is hilarious and just amazing itself, especially finn-swedish.

Please react to Poesi för fiskars “De arbetslösa”. I think you would really enjoy it, its comedic social commentary in a short cinematic format. All of, Poesi för fiskars, content is pure gold, real high quality stuff.

Swede here, can confirm alot of the stereotypes. However Finns are in general great people, good neighbours of us. They suck at Hockey though ;)

Thank you Mert! I have never seen this one. It's a lot of fun. The Finns are a nice people. Warm greetings from a Swede. Lämpimät terveiset ruotsalaiselta..

That last one is a real commercial by the real Jarmo, for the company K-Rauta 😜

As a Swede I love Jarmo 👍❤

Johan Petersson does a very good parody of Zlatan in the Partaj (party) show that is worth watching.

Thanks for this one... Haven't seen this parody series of the commercial series from K Rauta for a long time now!! Johan Petersson who play Jarmo is another great Swedish comedian.

Idk if most of Partaj's comedy will be that funny for someone who hasn't lived in Sweden. A lot of it is making fun of our celebrities, royal family etc. Tbf, it was a long time ago I saw any of it, and they had a lot of other skits about life in general, but those are the ones I remember the most.

I hope you got it with the comments below. And originally we had a program in 1969 that was named "Partaj" (Partytime) and it was broadcasted in friday evenings with our most beloved swedish actors, before they went to the "Red Room" at Berns Restuarant. This show was sent on the only channel we had back then, and the crew around Johan Petersson that made "Partaj" again is remarkeble, and they really made a tribute to the older version. I really admire them for that contribution. /Magnus

Pretty close to the reality. Very strong, good and drunk people. I love them. Greetings from Jonas Gothenburg Sweden. Ps. Keep reacting!

The last one was the real commercial for the hardware store K-Rauta. The other ones were parodies on the real commercial.

Vaskduellen would be good one to react to, if it's available with subs

it would be nice to see like these jokes , in which Swedish bros make same about yourselves. We really can be ironic for ourselves, make hard jokes ourselves but at the same time are proud of who we are. I am reeky waiting same kind of jokes about you or are they all hej hjalle hjalle raa. And...most of educated people understand Swedish totally well. So this is a great benefit from history

Denmark and Norway are like Sweden, Scandinavians and a little like siblings. Finns are different. The love and hate thing that exists between Swedes and Finns is unique. However, the differences disappear when it comes to holidays abroad and in war. We stand united against any enemy!

This is The Partaj program making jokes Bout the real K-Rauta commercial videos we had in Sweden.. The last videoclip is the Original Jarmo. The man in all the other videos are making fun of Jarmos commersial Krauta and its Hilarious.... Im Half Swedish half Finnish. I must watch this again.. Its soo fun, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The last one is the Real Jarmo 😂

I As a half Finnish half Swedish, Jarmos anger matches both mine and my fully Finnish father. I have never seen him hold hands, never seen him kiss or be lovable with his wife and I have never seen him cry either, not even when his mother, my grandmother, died :') It's really genetics, Finnish people are VERY fucking macho, but also very shy, well, many Finns are not shy at all, but overall.

Partaj was a SNL-ish sketch show (except not live). With atleast two spin-offs. (Both led by characters played by that actor, as he was very much the ”main male actor”.) And yeah, while there was some compeltely original sketches most of them were parodies of shows/politicans/celebrities/etc.

You should watch Herr Talman, its a comedy series about Swedish politcs from the 2022 election

A part of the joke is the parody of the Finnish home improvement stores such as K-Rauta and their commericals. There is also a pun in the tag, "det rätta virket" (the right stuff) literally translates to "the right wood", because home improvement.

Let's just say that, if there would have been Jarmo against Eastwood instead of Swede, maybe this wouldn't have happened: "Heartbreak Ridge - Sgt. Highway vs 'Swede' Johanson (1986)". Jarmo Mäkinen is a Finnish actor, who has often done bad guy roles, and also done them in Sweden: "Jarmo Mäkinen - showreel".

Wait, isn't that the actor who played the Umpa Lumpas in the version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp? 🤯

The last one was the real commercial. and all the other before that was the parody of the Finnish hardware store commercials for "K-Rauta"

Johan Pettersson is the actor He does Zlatan too which is hillarious And the angry construction worker ”Arga snickaren” All from partaj Hes also a part of a super funny cult status show called Hem till Midgård Home to midgard 😂❤

Just think wake up hangover: you have a finnish friend: they all scream: we going to drink or we going to drink, its lovely ppl.

Half of my family is from Finland so I can say that there were a lot of adrenaline junkies with PTSD and alcohol problems in Finland but in reality I had a good childhood

React to the movie Jägarna (1996). It has some real life inspirations and captures the northern attitude somewhat. There actually are finns in Sweden since way back, the kven people.

As a Swede, there's some truth to this, especially when it comes to defence policy and respective militaries. 😂

Well - just in case, to clarify the 'situation': the guy you saw last was the original guy in the original commercial (with the same....erhm, first name? It's just too late at night for me..), on which the character in this comedy was based! (Well, which they of course, and as usual took, erhm 'a bit' further - while at the same time making fun of the stereotype of...or well, sterotypeS of both Finnish and Swedish guys really!). I just love this 'character' - as does many of my friends with Finnish ancestry by the way! I hope that helped. Cheers from Sweden.

Johan Petersson is so funny. He is in the last season of Swedish Taskmaster (Bäst i test). I love him 😂😂😂

If its unclear 7:35 is the real Jarmo :)

"Full like a kastrull" is funny, but it might be difficult to understand for a foreigner

Aldrig sett den förr.... bra skit

It ends with "beställ en Finne av det äkta virket", meaning "order a Finn of the right standard/ right wood", and was commercial from K- rauta that sells wood/planks.

Watch Hjälp - Örjan Lax Säsong 1 🔥🔥🔥🔥

We Swedes love our Finnish brothers and sisters. That's why we can make fun of our differences. And I believe that feeling is mutual. Same with the Norwegians and our arch enemy, the Danes!!! (danskjävlar)

oh my god i haven't thought about these in like ten years

😂😂😂

I believe this stereotype comes from when many fins would come to Sweden to work in the industries. Those were working class dudes and some of them were probably just like Jarmo.

I’m moving to Finland!

The last one is Jarmo Mänkinen, the real Jarmo. The other is Johan Pettersson, who made parady by Jarmo. Check out "Cafe bärs" "hem till midgård" for more by Johan Pettersson

Partaj (party) is pronounced more like partay. With a very soft, almost nonexistent r. J in Swedish is often pronounced like Y is in Eng. And Jarmo is a Finnish name and the character speaks Swedish with a heavy Finnish accent.

The funny thing about this hard boiled character, is that the Finnish hardware store, had to make the character and the commercial in a softer way.

If you want to see more with him I think you should look up ”Hem till Midgård” (Home to Midgard, or back to Midgard might be a better translation) his character there is quite different from this one, I don’t know if they have English subs though

😂

Would recommend "Bragden i berlin"

Finnish are considered better than Swedes by Swedes, not just cause they scared Russia into submission, they are cut from a harder cloth.(i think maybe stone/iron or diamond/unabtanium)

Funny 😂😂 the actor is swedish Johan Pettersson 💯🥳🥳

Yes its thetypical fin, no joke. I have 100% finish friends, swedes to eeak. Im swedish

For context, Sweden and Finland share a very long history together. Finland was a part of the Swedish Kingdom for over 700 years. We have completely different languages however, so this "Jarmo" character speaks Swedish with a stereotypical Finnish accent, which sounds hilarious to Swedes. So it is just friendly banter with a lot of Finnish stereotypes thrown in, the main points being that from the Swedish perspective, all Finns are drunks and likes knives, while from a Finnish perspective, Swedes are weaklings who are a bit too concerned with what others think of them.

Have you seen the Scottish-Swedish artist Dr MacDoo... two music videos on youtube, supposedly shot in Malaysia.

K-rauta are closing their stores all over Sweden.

Eyy You Most see the café berrs. The actor in this one is in that too soo funny

Mert do you read the comments?

Old Partaj fron 1969 is more fun to watch ^^

Partaj = Party

This is related to the Finnish stereotypical view of Sweden as shown in this clip kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pt1jmJll2NXXdZs.htmlsi=Xh9t5QlnBHEnJ6Uq This is from a Finnish comedy show. Sweden was neutral during ww2 while Finland took a very hard stance against the Germans. (The neutrality meant that Sweden allowed Germans to use the swedish rail network to transport troops to Norway for example. Not very popular in Norway uou can imagine.)

Parody-Jarmo (everything but the real advert at the end) Is not really wrong in anything he says. Just exaggerated 😂

If you like the nordics mocking each other you should look up the Partaj skit called SVT Danmark 😂

I think the Finnish in mentality are closer to Russians than Swedes, except people in Norrland (North Sweden) might be a little bit more like the Finns and Russians.

Saaatana perkelaaaaaa

You should watch an episode of ”Karatefylla” instead 😊👍

We Swedes loves our brothers in scandinavia, we competing and making fun of eatchothet but if someone else fk with our brothers then its war 😊😅

It seems right about the part about sex. Never heard anything about this before.

the letter J is pronounced in Swedish as you pronounce y.

Örjan Lax

All the jokes aside, I think this is how most Finns living in Finland see their more civilized big brother... ;)

Alltså... Kan broderskapet mellan Finland och Sverige uttryckas bättre? Vi förstår (klokt) varandra, och försvarar varandra. Så bra.

Kåta Gun och brevbäraren

Watch Magnus Bertner! He is a controversial comedian that says what we are think but dosen't want to confess we do and smash prejudice

Jag. Säger 4-5 till 6-5, du som vet vet

Partaj changes Party

What about MARRMOR?

Great "self irony", him speaking Swedish with Finnish intonation. (But it`s too much of the same theme.)

yes this is typical sterotypes and somewhat true aswell... finland makes fun of sweden to be to friendly, weak, clean looking while sweden makes fun of finland beeing rough, tough, shots vodka all the time, 170 degree saunas, hardworking and norway saying is that they are stupid, talking jibbirish allt the time, and have alot of money... all of is just ironic sayings with brotherly love. The real fight is competetivly in sports.

Btw, Partaj is problunced ”Partai”

Try Dr mugg with Markolio and this actor a children program

It exist more

Finland was part of Sweden for 700 years, until Sweden lost it to Russia in the war of 1809…

Partaj is partay

Best thing this actor ever did was Runar Tvålfager in Hem till Midgård. A viking comedy show from the 90s

yes the real Jarmo is in the end.. A finnish famous actor. the fake Jarmo is swedish. This clips is just 1 procent of all.

I am sad that the subtitles doesn't exaclty convey the negative tone of SVENNE! (aka the S-word)

Is it a fair representation of Finnish men? Maybe not. But is it a a fair representation of the Finnish man stereotye? Yeah probably. :)

Its commin sence that finnish man are harder then Swedish in one way. Finnish people learn kids in different way then sweden and are more harder on their culture...

I mean, this is toxic masculinity overall. But my hockey coach immigrated from finland and yeah he was kinda like this, only coach i know of that had to leave the arena on orders from the head judge.

😂😂
