Uti vår hage

One of the funniest and most unique comedy series in Norway. Each episode is a stand-alone story with different sub-stories that come together at the end of each episode. Everything from changing peoples jobs by adding something to a towns drinking water, going behind the scenes of a Public Awareness Agency (everything from former smokers to traffic-victims, convicts and closet homosexuals), finding out about an ancient prophecy of the mentally handicapped, the plight of the Danish population (they can´t understand a word they say, and the milkman earns a lot by pretending not to understand and selling gallons of milk) to visiting the parallel dimension of Norwegian Film (my favorite episode). It´s a great little set of films that surprisingly has some sympathy for the individual characters amongst all the crazy situations. Well worth your time!

So many classic lines and scenes in this show. The Danish, Oslolosen, Flåttmannen, Noregs Målag. For me these are the pinnacle of Bård and Haralds carreer. Atle is also very funny. I prefer his sketch comedy to his serious acting roles. I met Harald Eia once and asked him if they ever would make a third season. He said no because wearing a wig as a character in his age would be cringe. Too bad but perhaps its best not to ruin it all because the two seasons are really good.

The creativity and variation of this show is uncanny. Its better than Chappelle Show and most comedy programs. The first season is a bit cheaper and low budget than the second. But when jokes and gags work they dont always need Hollywood quality. Whats great about this show is that the episodes are both emotionally engaging and funny. Some stories are sad, others jolly. But they are all funny. Kings of comedy.

This series was a major anticlimax from the comedians Harald & Bård. The two guys that gave us so much joy with "Lillelørdag" and "Åpen Post". I don't know why it went so bad, but this was really disappointing. I found almost nothing funny in this series and the acting was also rather lame. I'm sorry that it became so bad, but I choose to live in the hope that they will produce something much better in the future.

I totally disagree with the other comment, and in my opinion, "Uti Vår Hage" proves why Eia/Johansen/Antonsen is one of the leading performers on the Norwegian comedy stage. The six episodes gave me many great laughs, and i will recommend it to every Norwegian with an average sense of humor: You'll love it! Even though, only Norwegians will understand the jokes, the humor and the other series/films it makes fun of because they all relate to the Norwegian culture and the Norwegian social structure. The episodes is all very satiric, very intelligent and extremely funny. I found the episode that includes the former Norwegian ex-labor union leader Yngve Hågensen especially hilarious, and i've seen the episode "Operation Justice" many times, laughing as much as i did the last time i've saw it. "Uti Vår Hage" is brilliant! It's high quality entertainment! Combined with great acting-performances, I believe this is one of the funniest series a Norwegian entertainment crew has ever produced!
