Humour is a funny thing. It can be universal - like Mr. Bean for instance. And sometimes it's too much of a cultural thing to be considered as funny by other nationalities.

It got me thinking whether or not you foreigners would think that Ørkenens Sønner (Sons of the Desert) is funny. Ørkenens Sønner has existed since 1991 and is one of the peaks of Danish culture - as far as the dirty and outrageous type of humour goes. The unique combination of singing and witty/clever impersonations/sketches has made them extremely popular in Denmark.

I managed to dig up some of their non-verbal sketches. One of them is the unforgettable from their show Et Skud I Tågen (=a shot in the dark) from 2004:



And then there's the one and only Otto Fjærtoman's ("fjært"=Fart) from the Et Skud I Tågen show and from the Et Storm I Et Glas Vand (=a storm in a teacup) show from 2001:




So... what do you think?
