Parlamentet/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crosses the Line Twice: Many, many, many times, considering that they follow the teleprompter's advice to the bitter end. Special mention goes to a comedian getting the advice "take a stance on the Moomin issue", which he proceeded to do by saying that "Moomin hunt should be allowed around the year", and "oh, yeah, they're cute, but that Finnish lady didn't write a book called "Moomins are Carriers of Parasites", did she?!". The Moomins.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: In a now lost round called "Desperate Fishing For Votes" that used to occur right before the voting, the comedians tried to persuade audience members to vote for them, usually with the help of props or trinkets. In a season finale, Henrik Hjelt...used a Porsche. No one knew about it, aside from some behind-the-scenes men. I can't imagine the audience's thoughts as a Porsche rolled into the studio right before the voting.
  • Weird Al Effect: The show was inspired by (or, as the Other Wiki refers to it as, "a Swedish version of") a British Game Show called If I Ruled The World. In a classical example of British Brevity, that had two seasons -- Parlamentet has had twenty-six.
