Title: Denmark hires Lars von Trier for Controversial Tourism Ads
Post by: Queequeg on February 26, 2010, 05:44:19 PM
Can one of our Danophone friends tell us how good/bad the accents are? (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/denmark_introduces_harrowing_new)

Well, it's Danish if that's what you're asking. Obviously all Danish accents are atrocious but there you go.

I always love their little teasers at the very end of the pieces, cut off quickly on purpose.

Whoever added the "dog" sound effects in the Danish Love scene is incredibly gifted at his/her job.

It's Danish all right. And it's disturbingly plausible as well.  :lol:

The handball was great, the rest was quite meh. A bit too....unfunnily grim. But it is natural progression from the 'come to Denmark and impregnate our women' advert

The accents sound they are from someone who hasnt spoken danish in a long time, kind of like the accent people from our so called "cultured elite" uses when they try to sound international and cultivated...

In that way does it fit the people around Lars Von Trier very good...

Talk about an epic fail in getting the joke. Have you ever seen any of Lars von Trier's movies? If you haven't, you can be excused in not getting it, though (since his movies are like those clips).  :lol:
