Norway in Denmark
“It’s wonderful to be Norwegian in Denmark” is the slogan of a travel agency, that as the slogan suggests arrange vacations for Norwegians to Denmark. The TV commercials have become so infamous in Norway that it has spurred several versions of the slogan like “It’s wonderful to be Norwegian in Norway” and so on. Here is one of the adds with English subtitles [link]
At least three times a month I get notes from Norwegians pointing out how naughty the slogan sounds when you look at the countries as people, and when I got three this week I decided that it was time to put it in a comic.

You promised you wouldn't do the wink wink thing when Sweden was around.
I know, but I'm drunk right now.
Lol!

I've heard from norwegians that they prefer Sweden, since they kind of know what we're saying - but that danes are just non-understandable and therefore weird lol

Have you noticed that you can easily confuse people by saying "if you understand what I mean" after an ordinary sention? *wink wink*

You know, the slogan is really "art imitating life". The vast majority of Norwegians genuinely feel that it's wonderful to be Norwegian in Denmark :o)

@SnigePippi I'm sorry it just seems shallow for Denmark to say that, that's all. I mean shallower then normal.

@wrathofnerds Actually saying 'I'm drunk' is kind of considered as a valid excuse, as long as you're not behaving too bad. So you'd hear a Dane say it every know and then
