EM i "venting"

Classic Norwegian comedy sketch by KLM. In this absurd sports parody, reporters cover the European Waiting Championships live from Dortmund, Germany. Norway has reached the final for the first time in 14 years, and the tension is unbearable as the contestants compete to see who can wait the longest. KLM was one of Norway's most beloved comedy groups, consisting of Trond Kirkvaag, Knut Lystad and Lars Mjøen. Their sketches and television shows became a defining part of Norwegian comedy from the 1970s through the 1990s. English subtitles have been added to make this classic sketch accessible to an international audience. Original video © NRK / KLM.
