Description Puns. Puns everywhere. Can't stop, won't stop. Am I right?

I've been churning over some lengthy comic ideas/sequels for some time now. They're still in progress, so in the meantime enjoy this brief and daft attempt of an update. Apologies to the Norwegians, I'm sure you know who taught Den that horrible excuse for a joke. I won't apologise for Norway's fashion however, he is a unique man indeed.

my friend told me a similar joke but it goes like this:
Why are Norwegians always looking down?
Because they are looking for low prices!

That's just as bad as a joke my dad told me....

I once asked my Swiss friend, "What's so great about being Swiss?"
He answered, "Well, the flag's a big plus."

...so I can't really say anything against this joke... (especially since I referenced the joke in a story I wrote....)

Haha, in Finland we tell jokes about Swedes! And there are a lot of "a Finn, a Swede and a Norwegian" type of jokes, where the Swede is usually cowardly, the Norwegian pretty much "the only sane man" and the Finn is the crazy one.

one old good offending Swede-joke: "Why do Swedes eat soup with two hands? They keep the other hand under the fork so the soup won't drop away." ...okay, I'll leave now.XD

Tbh, I liked the joke)

Thank you very much, there seem to be many jokes about Norwegians specifically (asides from the ones where you can obviously replace Norwegian with Dane, for example). Poor things... XD;

Love all the puns! Never stop with the puns! ((and this is really great by pun standards )) and Nor's commentary afterwards is beautiful

I don't think the puns will ever stop. Whenever I finish a comic that's it, brain can't do sensible titles. XD Thank you very much as ever friend!

Ahah Yes that is true love!! Great comic!

Actually think I have an old book with a lots of 'Norwegian-Swedes-Danes' jokes from an old Donald duck comics laying somewhere xP

But really that is just our weird way to say that we actually care about each other xD

Thank you very much, glad you liked it! I know you guys have that great way of telling jokes as a means of showing you care, it really does support the family feel you have. XD

Riicu1523 [2015-11-08 21:09:19 +0000 UTC]

You did it. You brought up the Norway-jokes. I salute you.  

This type of joke is an entire, separate part of the small but existing Swedish humor, everyone knows at least a few. That being said, they are never meant to be actually insulting, it's just an overly complicated way of saying that we care about and like our neighbors very much.   


A conversation between two Norwegians:

“Can you imagine, in the US one person is run over every fifteen minutes?”  

“Oh, no. He must be terribly unlucky.”

What do you mean "small"? XD We can hardly even make a vampire movie without making a joke out of some part of it (and the rest not scary at all). Death by garden gnome... I'll never get over that.
Personally, I believe terrible humour is bred throughout the North if some of the jokes the vikings had was anything to go on. Haha. But yes, much love to be thrown around.

Riicu1523 In reply to PhaeSummer [2016-02-08 10:38:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, small as in would-not-be-recognized-as-humor-internationally? XD When at least 150 days of the year are spent in darkness and cold, you stop being picky about the things you laugh about, that's a pretty good enviroment for bad jokes to thrive in.

PhaeSummer In reply to Riicu1523 [2016-02-08 17:06:16 +0000 UTC]

For good and for bad, you're probably right. As long as everyone else stuck in darkness laughs though, it's all good.

maivalkov In reply to Riicu1523 [2015-11-09 14:49:23 +0000 UTC]

Oh I know, I had great fun reading all sorts of jokes you guys come up with. XD I think it's a very sweet and funny way of showing you care, much like a group of siblings or something.

For the record, Sweden was the one who told Den the joke.

begitte [2015-11-08 19:15:57 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, great work (and joke XD)
I haven't heard that variant of the joke before, but I've heard a similar one, with Swedes instead of Norwegians Because we Norwegians just love to make fun of our neighbours from time to time just look at Petter Northug

Q: Why did the Swede crawl on the floor in the supermarket?
A: Because he was looking for the low prices!

maivalkov In reply to begitte [2015-11-09 14:47:40 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes I've heard of that joke too, again I know you all use the same format of joke up there but just change who it is you're on about.

Riicu1523 In reply to begitte [2015-11-08 21:10:25 +0000 UTC]


We have the EXACT word by word version in Sweden of that joke (except you replace Swede with Norwegian). XD

I've heard the same joke from other Norwegians, but about Swedes.

maivalkov In reply to KatrineLaclyon [2015-11-09 14:46:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yeah it's a fairly standard joke that I know Norwegians, Swedes and Danes all use, but just swap who it is they're talking about. XD Either way, it's amusing!
