Hello everyone,
Should we set out to explore Norwegian's culture through its sense of humour? Indeed, if one is planning to settle in the country, it is best to understand the cultural codes governing humour in order to avoid any faux-pas.
What is special about the sense of humour in Norway?
Is it acceptable to joke about any situations?
What is typically funny and what is absolutely not funny?
Are there any popular comedians in Norway and how would one be able to discover them (stand-up shows, festivals, internet, etc.)?
What is the funniest joke you have heard in Norway?
Please share your experience,
Bhavna

I would call what is described as humor on Norwegian TV as tasteless and it is mostly about putting down others.
Everyday humor is much like what I'm used to from the Netherlands.
