On the British version of Whose Line is it Anyway, one of the common things that audience members would shout out for the Film and Theatre Styles segment was Swedish porn.

Americans, not the pornography connoisseurs like their friends from across the pond, suggested simply "porno," on the American version of the program.

Call me a philistine, but I don't get it. Isn't all pornography the same? As long as there are two people having sex, what more do you need?

What could the Swedish be doing in their pornography that makes theirs better than the pornography produced by people of other nationalities?

That absolutely makes sense.
Without a qualifier, standard British Porn would be expected.

That, of course, is absolutely unacceptable. Ask Doofy.

Er…I'm not commenting on my viewing habits, but I've had some friends in the porn industry (kind of), and I definitely don't think it's all of equal quality. Just as in life, some people are more attractive than others, some people are more interesting than others, some people are better actors than others, yada yada yada. A lot of porn from 30+ years ago is friggin' unwatchable these days.

I think Swedish women are considered to be more naturally pornographic, which makes ‘Swedish’ a mark of quality for porn, regardless of whether there are any actual Swedes involved, or not. For instance, I have this old ‘Swedish Erotica’ video with three 20-minute films on it, only one of them has a Swedish girl in it (‘the Swedish Erotica girl of the year for Sweden’), the rest are all Yanks.

Isn't this like a perception that seems to have gone on longer than reality? A bit like Mercs and Audis are the most reliable cars when the Jap cars come out top in reliability tests. Plus theres the perception that all Swedish women are tall and blond and have big breasts. I worked for Volvo for nearly 7 years, traveling to Gothenborg frequently. The majority of the women that I came across are not like that.

I think that it was a porn star called Seka that really got Swedish porn on the map.

Seka is as American as apple pie. She has an "interesting" background for such a performer... Her films seem to have been released by a company that used the term "Swedish Erotica" as their business name, but that's all the link to Sweden I can find...

By the way, everyone, please remember that if you host your signature picture on ImageShack, they backtrack where the images they host show up, and they're probably going to block your picture in this thread. Their bots are stone stupid...

Growing up in the U.S. in the 1970s is a definite advantage in this subject area.

I didn’t understand a word of the last half of that sentence, nor why it seemed to emulate German English.

One of the HUGE advantages of being an old fart is that we know about the Muppet Show.

Hey, I know about the Muppet Show! And the Swedish Chef.

I just always really hated the show, so I’m not good with recognising it. I also didn’t know the Swedish Chef spoke Germlish.

Did you get a dubbed version, too?

Because the German dubbing is atrocious. WTF is the point of broadcasting a PERSONALITY show where everything that actually makes the personality is OVERDUBBED BY A DIFFERENT PERSON?

In the original, however, I think it's pretty damn near impossible NOT to love it - unless of course, as far as you're concerned, nobody who was popular before 1989 even need bother existing at all...

When I was a little kid, I watched it a few times, dubbed. I hated it.
When I was a teenager, I watched it a few times, original. I didn’t like it.

The dubbing didn’t help, but for some reason, the Muppet Show was just never funny to me.








Hey, hang on, WAAAAAAITAMINUTE here!

You’re telling me the world existed before 1989?!?

I can think of one obvious reason: Swiss is often marketed as "quality." Swiss time pieces, Swiss tools, Swiss Army knife... Swiss porn.

I've heard of people confusing Switzerland with Sweden before, but the freaking title of the thread is SWEDISH porn, not SWISS porn.
