Klovn

Klovn is one of a kind and I have never seen anything like it. Truly genius and the funniest TV Show I have ever watched. ...Though to enjoy the full potentiel of this show, I do think you need to understand danish and know about Frank and Casper's place in the danish comedy-scene.

A previous reviewer was spot on when comparing this to a Danish Curb Your Enthusiasm. However, in true Scandinavian style, it's a bit more raw/real and the humor is darker. So whenever I'm in the mood from some Curb Your Enthusiasm humor but want a bit more, I go to Klovn.

But even though the style of comedy is similar to CYE, it's very original and has a distinct style that can't be replicated. This is partly due to the fantastic acting and characters of the show. I'm lucky enough to understand Danish but if I got my hands on this show with English subtitles, I'd be watching this with friends and family regularly. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy dark, awkward, Scandinavian humor. Don't watch this with your parents or grandparents.

Klovn is one of the best danish comedy series. BUT, from season 7 when Mia and Frank got children it kinda destroyed the serie, because of the kids bad acting.

Season 1-6 = 10 stars Season 7 = 5 stars Season 8 = 7 stars.

Clown Season 1 is a love child between Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen. It's an impromptu comedy series set in reality where most people play themselves. There are exceptions, and when these take place with now-famous actors, it breaks a bit with their own set-up. Otherwise, Clown can be described as tear-jerking, funny and easy.

The best way to describe this to Americans is: "like Curb Your Enthusiasm... only actually funny!" Yes some say they stole the idea from Curb, and they admit that they where inspired by that show, but I never thought Curb was very funny. However Klovn is great fun. Not many shows actually make me laugh out loud, but this one sure does. Frank Wahm is a master of expressions and one look on his face can make you laugh. Also the show seems to go way beyond the normal tabu subjects and have no problem using cancer or what not as a punchline. The humor can be very "dark" at times, but thats one of the things that sets it apart from the norm.
