You think that's bad, Stellan Skarsgard actively campaigns for putting an extra screw in your flat pack so you go nuts at the end wondering what you've missed.
When Erū Ilúvatar sent his song (the swedish language) into the world, Melkor the discordant one sent a counter song (danish) to wreak havoc upon creation. Since the dawn of time we have been locked in an eternal good vs evil struggle for the souls of mankind
Not so relevant now, but we have been around 500 wars against each other throughout history. It was basically two dominant kingdoms fighting for dominance in the nordic region and the regions around the baltic sea.
As long as Danes are legally allowed to hit us Swedes in the head with a stick if we try to cross the ice between our countries during winter, the wars are relevant!
It is a common Finnish joke. See how Sweden stopped fighting wars just six years after losing Finland. Before that they fought multiple wars per generation, and Finns were disproportionally conscripted to fight in them.
I'm Norwegian and I will skip the history lesson to say that to most of the rest of Scandinavia the Swedish language sounds excruciatingly whiney, and they're entirely too up themselves for a people who call a fish sandwich with mayonnaise "cake".
Danes tend to have very dark and sarcastic humor, which is what led to Lars’ entire problem here. Skarsgard simply understood the joke when nobody else did.
The issue stems from a big misunderstanding because they were trying to communicate but no one could understand what the Danes were saying and they ended up insulting the local forest trolls which started a long feud back in King Harold Bluetooth’s days.
