Line 30:
== Film ==
 
* ''[[Beowulf (Filmfilm)|Beowulf]]''. More trolls, fewer Ikeas. The 2007 film even has Grendel speak Old English, and one or two references to "sea raiders".
** And an awful lot of mountains. [[The Mountains of Illinois|In Denmark]]. Uh, no.
* ''[[Trading Places]]'', the Sweden/Switzerland confusion is [[Lampshaded]] in this conversation on the train on New Years Eve:
Line 43:
== Literature ==
 
* Terry Jones's book ''The Saga of Erik the Viking'' which lent its name but not its plot to Terry Jones's film ''[[Erik the Viking (Film)|Erik the Viking]]''.
* In [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mike Nelson's]] Death Rat!, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|by Mike Nelson]], a group of Danish agents pursue the protagonist at the behest of his rival. They are portrayed as brave, intelligent, and exceptionally capable in matters of surveillance and hand-to-hand combat, but woefully awkward, excessively proper, and prone to apologizing profusely for things like using "sauna" as both a noun and a verb.
 
== Music ==
Line 65:
 
* ''[[Vicky The Viking]]''
* UK children's animated series ''[[The Saga of Noggin the Nog (Animation)|The Saga of Noggin the Nog]]''. (As told by the Men of the North Lands.)
* ''[[Metalocalypse]]'' does this too, having both Sweden and Norway appear like this in their respective episodes. With Skwisgaar and Toki hailing from said countries, it makes for several related jokes. Especially when Skwisgaar's mother appears. They also burn down Finland and kill the Queen of Denmark (whom Skwisgaar thinks is Dutch).
