As a finn I am very offended, because there were no alcohol at the table and the ”finns” were looking happy and responded to unknown person’s question.
4 things they did wrong in the scene 1. The Finns were Smiling 2. The Finns joined a Conversation 3. They weren't speaking Finnish 4. They sounded too happy when they spoke
I'm probably too german to understand the joke... what was the joke behind posing as swedish half brothers instead of finnish half brothers in order not to get shot?
@@elgabel411 I cant think any individual case Family guy creators would have used. When studying history for content inspiration one thing stands out from the basic history of Fennoskandia. Sweden used the land mass and population of Finland many times as a sacrificial buffer against Russia and took disproportionate number of soldiers from Finland to fight in their wars. And today the lighthearted joke is that Sweden's defense plan against hypothetical Russian agression is Finland. Far fetched but best I can do. That's my best bet
and that they didnt even hesitate to put themselves in a social situation. a true finn would have awkwardly glanced around to see if there arent any other finnish brothers from the same father, different mother in the room so they dont have to talk to someone
@@simonnachreiner8380 What, when I watch them squeeze it from actual fruit in front of my eyes? We have orange drink machines on the streets that do the same thing for a few cents. Again, you must stay at some cheap-ass hotels....
It kinda is. Is made with orange syrup made from concentrated orange and a toooon of natural sugars extracted from oranges so legally its considered "100% oranges"
I am being humble when I am telling you that I am the most powerful strongest coolest smartest most famous greatest funniest Y*uTub3r of all time! That's the reason I have multiple girlfriends and I show them off all the time! Bye bye ay
one of my friends worked as a receptionist at a hotel in Vegas and he let people eat the free breakfast every morning. They throw away whatever is leftover so why not? Might as well let someone eat it instead of the trash bacteria
As a finn i am disgusted by the lack of alcohol and pure melancholy that these "finnish" people showed. Also, why the fuck did they answer to an unknown person's question? Out here we get death sentences for that.
Surprisingly the thing about “long fertility window” is actually true too, Scandinavia women have been studied as hitting menopause significantly later on average, than other ethnicities
@@AUniqueHandleName444Well they didn't took care of it but Finland did, so people on Åland basically went like we don't wanna be part of Sweden but part of Finland. Later on of course when they got everything they wanted they started to bitch out asking more, so now Finland don't want them but neither do Sweden because they are "fake Swedens." It's rather corny how they made themself look like untrust worthy people and laughing stock.

Mike Spearwood Jeez, and I suppose you’re the reason why challenging and provocative novels are being written. Someone who spends their time in the comment sections of clips from shows they don’t like.
It does actually, but you need to be ''on it''. Countless times i ate in an hotel free, posing myself as one of the extras. Its extremely easy, most of the times only thing you need to do is to write some fake name into a list and bam, you are an hotel worker and can get into everywhere in the hotel, except the administrative areas and actual guest rooms. Eating from guest buffet is harder but still doable, twice i have managed so far. But adrenaline fills you more than the food you eat, so its sort of pointless to go through all that struggle. I do it for fun, i dont need the food. Becoming a spy was sort of my childhood dream, this is as close as i can get to that, so.
BronzeJourney, Interesting story. If I may ask, did anyone ever figure you out in these hotels and throw you out? Did you go back to the same hotels or was that too risky because people would have known your face?
@@Garrus1995 There is usually just this ''thing'' you need to pass through, and if you are prepared for that, then you never get caught. Trick is to know what is that thing you need to be prepared for. I have been to many hotels too, i worked in some of them as well so i know those ''things'', but for example an easy one, ''its mid-day and a random tourist returning for his room'' never gets questioned, thats a classic if you ever happen to be in a situation that you dont have any money but have to eat etc.
@@bronzejourney5784 Fascinating. Did you do this on an international level? Because what you’re describing sounds like it can happen entirely within one country or multiple.
I remember my one time one day visit in Helsinki and asked people in the street for direction(in English). They look on me as if I was something to really fear and shake there head and quickly moved away from me. Then a couple helped me they turned out to come from Sweden on just a short visit just like me.
Then you have to look suspicious or very weird. Might also be that those people had busy schedule and didn´t had time to help you out. Usually travel vloggers tells exactly opposite from them experiences.
@@ArchieArpeggioyou do realise travel vloggers only upload content of them actually interacting with other people. They’re not going to upload hours of video footage of them trying to talk to strangers and everyone ignoring them even though that happens a lot everywhere in the world.
@@emanuelmartinez7267 Yes. They are not even though many use Scandinavia as a synonum for Nordic. Scandinavia means the Scandinavian peninsula which incorporates Sweden, Norway and Denmark, while the Nordic countries include Finland and Iceland too.
I mean.. They looked happy, they volunteered for social interaction, they were not drinking alcohol and they spoke with swedish accent .. Who were they and why did they pretend to be finnish and why did they get shot? My curiosity is officially peaked
Isn't the whole point of this joke that the assassin was looking for two men who were pretending to be Finns, that is, under fake identities? However, based on their behavior, anyone could immediately understand they obviously were nothing like Finns would be, underlining why one shouldn't haphazardly pretend to be a Finn, as it won't easily work. So, if you want to pretend to be a foreigner, pick Sweden, never Finland.
No, you're overthinking it. The joke is simply that they picked one of two neighbouring nationalities, and and it happened to save their lives. Most people don't know enough about Finland to even have a stereotype to begin with.
@@Oberon4278 1) All pre-war demands made by the USSR were agreed to and then some more. Finland lost about 11% of its total territory (40 000 sq km) and 30% of economy. Vital Hanko peninsula was now in Union's control where they built a navy base. 2) The international border, which was threateningly close to Leningrad, was moved from 18 kms to 150 kms away. 3) Finns agreed to build a railway for goods transit from Sweden to The USSR. 5) The second largest (at that time) Finnish city Viipuri (Vyborg) was taken by storm and since then owned by The Union 6) On the day Vyborg was taken, it were the Finns who requested for virtually unconditional ceasefire. 7) The day they surrendered, Finnish government declared it a day of National Mourning. Everything else is post screw-up PR and political propaganda. If this can be classified as a victory, then Vietnam might as well be called the greatest victory since Alexander The Great. The only reason Finland didn't become part of The USSR was because it was 1940. There was not a moment or a man to spare.
@@Oberon4278 The screw up, mind you, was not in the soldiers doing their duty and fighting bravely, on both sides. The negotiations were simple enough, main ones being 1) moving the damn border form Leningrad suburbs to somewhere more reasonable, 2) Some sort of agreement that would guarantee that the Fins would not allow their territory to be used as staging grounds for Nazis, 3) Lease, not ownership, of the peninsula a-la Hong Kong for a base. How freaking unreasonable is that in 39/40? Well, the politicians wanted glory and instead everyone got a bloody tragedy.
TORILLE:) As a finn i would appreciate if they actually made the Finnish accent more accurate even once (as it's comically distinctive in its own way) and did the quick research needed. Nice scene though.
A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding this video. The victims weren't actually Finnish half-brothers, they were pretending just like Peter & Chris. If only they'd known they should've been pretending to be Swedes instead, the whole fiasco could've been avoided.
That's not what a Finnish stereotye looks or sounds like tough. Swedish stereotypes usually have blond hair and say "Hallo." The writers either made an error or they just have no idea what the diference between a Finn and a Swede is.
You do realize this show is made for an American audience, not a Finnish audience. Why would anyone care what Fins think? Don’t you guys have like 30 people in your country
I remember the long train of people complaining that a SOuth Park episode had Germans on, and they didn't sound German. Which was the part that South Park made fun of Germans having no sense of humour. PS Swedes never complain about the Swedish Chef.
@@nordicgaming2572 bruh y you mad. It's just a joke. Your trying to defend a country that doesn't exist. Next your going to tell me Canada and the government are real
I guess their description of the orange juice applies to their perception of other nationalities too. Pretty much can't be more wrong with those two characters.
It is a joke... They make fun of every nationality/race... It's not meant to be accurate... It's not a culture deep dive it's a 1 minute clip of a 23 minute episode that is never referenced again.
The reason is that in america, people speak english, it is the language that we are currently using to comment on this video. I would gladly answer any other questions you might have
