Our Reaction to Bögarnas Fel - Homosexuals are to blame! (by GROTESCO) 

I added captions to Sujy controversial opinion starting at 8:00 so that everyone understand what she meant. Here in Thailand, transgenders is the 3nd official gender and there are 18 genders in total (we can define those as "gender identity"). So when Sujy mention the role of environment in gender and sexual orientation, it doesn't come from a hateful (conversion) right-wing talking point, but rather one of acceptance. Very young 2-3 years can be fluid in their gender expression here in Thailand. Sujy is making the case that it contribute to Thailand having way more gays, lesbians and transgenders than any other country (by far). It could be that they are not repressing who they are but Sujy and many others including in the Thai LGBTQ+ community believe that it's more than an expression of your biology. p.s: As for the video, Sujy didn't laugh because this is a foreign concept to her (hating the gays). It's not something common in Thailand so she has never seen people like those in the video. She's also not familiar with the words "fags" nor "evangelicals". So I explained to her while on our way to the coffee shop how religious people perceive the LGBTQ+ community in America.

About this song. We had a Swedish priest who wrote on Twitter that the song is really truthful, finally someone who dare to say what we all are thinking. He did not get it, that the song was to make fun of people like him. This song was played on a Swedish Tv-show once where artists are singing on a stage and the audience sing a long, a show called "Allsång På Skansen", on the pride week. Guess who sang loudest? The gay people. They understood the satire and made this song like "theirs" to get the Christian people who believes in these sort of things even more mad.

Bögarnas fel is a satirical song performed for the first time in 2010 by the humor group Grotesco and the TV series with the same name. The text was written by Henrik Dorsin, and according to Dorsin himself, it evokes homophobia. His intention was to write a text that ridiculed homophobia.

Suede here. This is a song bringing up the issue of blaming one group for all the problems in the society. This is something that humans has done all through history. This song and other Grotesko parody’s was mostly well received by the public. I work with refugees so for me this song really hit home. I would like to ensure though that majority suedes don’t think like this. LGBTQIA+ right are strong in Sweden. Something the LGBTQIA refugees I meet find really amazing and liberating. I’m so sorry if this hit a soar spot. That wasn’t the intent. It was made to be funny and to make people think a bit. As Max said, the last few years especially some suedes are blaming issues we have on immigration it’s not even true but it is so easy to blame a specific person or a group because then you don’t have to look at your self and questions how you or the rest of society is to blame.

This song is made by Grotesco, a well Swedish-known comedy gang. They're like a B variant of Monty Python. A lot of their jokes are societal satire. Like the painter that said "No one really hires painters anymore, so I broke into your house and painted your kitchen. I'll send you a bill of 5000kr" and opens a workers' restaurant with affordable prices in the house he just broke in to. Really wacky! Very strange. I think that if something is painful enough for me I can't see it as a joke. The potential danger overrides my sense of humor and I become serious. I grew up in Sweden and lived here for a bit over 34 years, and during all this time I've only met one to three Swedish people that thought homosexuality is wrong. That's an insanely low amount of unacceptance compared to the overwhelming acception rate. I take this song very lightly and see it as a critique against straw men blame (like a scape goat, yknow?), turned up to a such a bizarre level that it gives both shock value and I guess passive support towards homosexuals. Me and my friends used to sing this at a peaceful festival, with a stereo so people could hear, and about a third of our group was open gay/bi. It's a fond memory of mine. Lots of love everywhere. I understand the song can seem frightening though. Sometimes what's a joke for one person is a reminder of something awful for another person. If you are used to being bullied for your sexuality, you can move to Sweden. From what I've noticed, very few actually cares what sexuality you have. The most notice homosexuality gets in Sweden is a few pride parades now and then. In like 99.5% of Sweden you can relax in being homosexual. I think most people who are against homosexuality in Sweden come from other countries. Come and chill

I'm gender fluid and love this clip from Grotesco, the biggest reason is because they are pissing hard at religious people, religion is supposed to be a good thing, but most mens interpretation of it is horrendously wrong.

Im not sure Sujy understood this video.. I could see on her expressions that she may have thought that it was a anti-Gay music video. And that is VERY VERY WRONG.. It was the other way around, it was about making fun of Religions.. Because All religions have always been against HBTQ, and they make up things that isn't good in society, and blames it on HBTQ people..

I'm just impressed by the good Swedish pronunciation Max had at 2:03, that was spot on! ^^

I'm a Swedish guy. I think you should check out guy in our neighboring country Finland. Simo Häyhä. He was quite remarkable.

If your reactions is not top rating -after this, its without a doubt " Bögarnas fel"! Greetings from Jonas Gothenburg Sweden 😊

It the religios who start it in the comedy, but then other people in the "audions" agree and starts complain and sing along ex people that probebly would have vote for Trump (or the parti nearest him in Sweden) and some icel etc. The blaim spreds in the society. Grotesco is so damed good to showes the absurbs. Love them and the brilliant song(s). 😂😂😂

Can’t wait for this 😆

I will just go back to Soprano's reels :D

The devil's in the details. And I think the English translation didn't make the Swedish lyrics justice. The English translation is too loose. "I sat by the computer so much so that I got a soar neck, and that's the gays' fault". "Wine and liquor and Volvo isn't even Swedish. That's the gays' fault". One guys' parents where horrible to him and they blamed their own actions on the gays. It's supposed to be so over the top that it shouldn't be taken seriously. Like when you jokingly pretend to slip on a banana peel, you don't slip like you normally would, because that's not funny - You can make a funny sound, wave your arms and legs so much so that others understand "This is out of the ordinary, so this is a joke". I'm sure that if you take this song seriously it could be horribly scary! I'm very sorry if Sujy didn't like it.

The thing about this song instead being about blaming immigrants and transgender for everything if written today is probably true.

This is a sencetive matter to joke about, I know that. Suju, your woman I take it, is´nt thrilled about it and I understand her. This group "Grotesco" did many satires that I think would be described as "over the top" sort of speaking.... Many times! Just watch them beforehand so you know what to expect.

For me the reason for watching reactionvideo is to see people laugh, but well this was booring when someone don´t even understand the point of it all.

It ends with stating: svt - humor - godkänt av staten. Or in english: Swedish State Television - Humor - Approved by the State. At least they make some funny jokes for that tax money~ :)

She is sooo woderful! She didn't quite understand it. It is such an awful song if you think about it. But it is alsow so wonderful! You have to make fun of it !

Sujy, what about your lips? You look sick.

Living in Sweden i would not say its the immigrants foult. Its more the system here. You work your as off. Still never have anything left.

Its satire. The fact you dont get it makes this video hilarious. OMG you guys are just to funny
