Casper & Mandrilaftalen

When i first time saw this show i was totally finished, because it was so funny that i could not stop laughing. i will recommend it to everyone that want to get a big laugh. A fantastic and crazy show i have ever seen.

I first started watching the show because of its host Casper Christensen, who's a big comedian in Denmark. The first time I have to say it was pretty boring. I didn't want to see it again. Yet the next week I turned in again (probably had nothing else to do..). I weren't quite impressed this time either. Still I watched it the following week. Few things started to become funny. But then suddenly something happened (did I finally release my crazy inner?). I started enjoying every bit of the show. When they said the show was about to end I almost cried. I taped the last episode and watched it over and over again. In the end I had it all memorized. BUT(!) luckily Casper sold Bjarne Goldbæk to FC Copenhagen and made enough money for the show to continue. Another year of crazy TV were about to come. It absolutely didn't get less funny. Now it's all over but fortunately I've got almost every episode (30-40 hours I think) of Casper & Mandrilaftalen. Don't just watch it 1 time and decide that it's bad TV. Watch it several times. I know many people who have come to like it after maybe watching it 4 or 5 times. It's great!

I bought the DVD without having seen any of the episodes, it was so funny that i'm right now saving money to buy the latest DVD.

At first you really don't understand it, but if you just open up for your crazy inner you'll understand it. Fx. without warning the host Casper Christensen throws a pair of football boots over his head and screams: "Let's get a break!" ´The guests isn't any better, it is the most wierd people you've ever seen before. I especially like the man Lars Krimi, the man without faith on himself. He thinks everything is crap!

When I first watched "Casper & Mandril Aftalen" I didn't have any idea about what I was going in to.

It's quite hard to describe what the show actually was about. Casper Christensen - the host, sat behind a desk and did all sorts of crazy things. The show always started with Casper showing his very special list of what was to come on the show. An example: "23.15: German lock smith buys brave panda." It's hard to convey the crazy on goings in the show so I'll leave it to those who are lucky enough to be able to watch the show.

"Casper og Mandrilaftalen" ( - roughly translated into "Casper and the Mandril Agreement") broke new ground when it was broadcast during 1999. Never before had TV satire been so lowbudget, so rough around the edges or so primitive. The writers of the show once described it as "Children's TV for adults" - which gives a good offset for understanding what this thing really is. Some might claim that it is just poor quality humour, others, myself included, think that this show might be the closest we can get to actual surrealistic or dadaistic TV. Most lines, albeit written in a script, seem to come from random impulses and some make no sense at all. But in all the meaninglessness the hilarious element involuntarily arises. The Python crew realised this back in the 70's and with Casper og Mandrilaftalen, the genre was renewed. Maybe that's why John Cleese stopped by in the second season of the show, as both a 'Gunrack of Love' repairman and a Kite enthusiast...
