Why do Danes joke in such a dry, ironic, and often dark way—and why does it leave so many internationals confused? In this three-part mini-series, Vigdis dives deep into the world of Danish humour, exploring how Danes use irony, sarcasm, and self-deprecation to build trust, challenge norms, and connect with others.
From workplace banter to stand-up shows, film quotes to everyday awkward moments, this series unpacks the cultural codes behind the jokes, the unwritten social rules, and the linguistic subtleties that make Danish humour so unique—and so difficult to decode.
Whether you’re new to Denmark or just trying to understand your Danish colleagues better, this series helps you laugh with the Danes (instead of wondering if you’re the punchline).
In Part One of this three-part series, we begin by asking: Is Danish humor really that different? And how can you tell when a Dane is joking – or just being blunt?

Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got friends. But what happens if you leave them all behind? Uproot your entire life and move to a new country? To Denmark of all places! Where people are notoriously reserved and will do almost anything to avoid making eye contact with strangers... How on earth is anyone expected to make friends here?
Newcomers to Denmark find it challenging to make Danish friends. But why is that? Are there cultural differences we should be more aware of? What can newcomers do to form these valuable Danish friendships they need to truly feel at home? And what can Danes do? Why aren't Danes more open to people that cross our path, like, say, the English or Americans, and more ready for a spontaneous drink after work?
That is what we set out to explore in this miniseries, by talking to both Danes and foreigners and looking into some research on the topic.
Welcome to “The Swap Language Culture Guide to Denmark” and our brand-new three-part miniseries on Friendships.
