The Swedes Are Not Known for Their Senses of Humor

But they should be.

Even Ingmar Bergman, who is better known for his brooding films directed a very good comedy, Smiles of a Summer Night  which I rather liked, even with subtitles.

The humor definitely has been effected by the dark cold winters of Scandanavia, but unlike, for example, Russian humor, which tends to be dark, Swedish humor is more wry and playful. 

This Swedish pilot's walk around of the Saab Gripen is very funny.
