Funny Movie
If someone ever asks you if you would like to see a Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, Finnish or Russian comedy then...well, I won’t say “Run for your life!!” but I will say “Be careful”.
Movies in the north loves to deal with serious issues like death, drugs, alcohol and other fun stuff, and even most of our comedies will leave you with a feeling that the world is a horrible place.
You think I’m exaggerating? Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you sit in the dark, crying.
A nice example is this [link] It’s considered one of the funniest scenes in the movie. He doesn’t like that the cow is looking at him.
And punching woman is funny too [link]

WTF. Wow, suddenly I really appreciate the Israeli Humor (which is extremely similar to the German Comedies I've watched.. just like everything else)

As a Dane I generally don't watch Scandinavian movies, espeially not Danish movies. IMO the standards here are just so much lower than in America (might have something to do with the difference in budgets). Not worth watching.

not so much British funny films, but certainly British comedians are bloody miserable! and it's brilliant!
English comedians tend to be miserable, sarcastic and witty... Scottish comedians on the other hand...bloody dark. Look up Frankie Boyle <- possibly the darkest comedian ever!!

What about Russian films ... Well, it all depends on what you're watching old Russian comedy. to be honest, there are so many good Russian comedies, but most of them - old. Today Russian film consists almost entirely of a dull shit-drunk writers and film directors.
during the Soviet Union Russian shot such beautiful and good movies, many of them became classics. do not believe? "Operation Y and Other Adventures of Shurik" (операция Ы и другие приключения Шурика), "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes Occupation" (Иван Васильевич меняет профессию), "Prisoner of the Caucasus" (Кавказская пленница), "12 Chairs," (12 стульев) "brilliiant hand" (брильянтовая рука)... if you will not be lazy, look this the movies in English. on YouTube, they have to be.
And for God's sake, I beg you - do not fall for this stupid stereotypes about the fact that the northern nations (including Russian), even if they do not know how to joke, then there are just terrible humor. this stupid stereotype, invented by the Americans with their dirty, vulgar and silly humor.
