Swedish is just speaking Norwegian using baby words in the tone of an upset child. Who calls their sandwiches butter goose, honestly.

Try Danish when sober. That's nigh impossible.

It's Norwegian that's the funny language, in pronunciation anyways! Hoppi toppi tuudi! Can't imagine an angry Norwegian... Never thought about the butter goose though, norway says "sandwich"?! Like sand and a sorceress? Hmm not much better.

Danish is excluded from all kind of competition because it's a language from hell, I'm totally with you there.

you three.. tisk tisk* don't you see? this tribalism of differences is the real reason why the Catholics were able to divide and defeat the vikings. this is why we all need to just come together with English. and besides to my American ears you all sound just terrible

spoiler(just kidding love you all)

There's actually an interesting history about smörgås.

I think the funniest real Norwegian word would be rumpetroll, ass troll. Or pattedyr, tit animal. Or maybe even verdensrommet, the world's room...
