Never mind a laugh - if this even manages to bring a smile to your face, it would be quite an achievement. It's a shame... Bjorn Gustafsson is, arguably, one Sweden's best comedians.
Even with regard to comedy, it appears, there is some validity in the statement; "garbage in garbage out". This manuscript appears to be based on the notion that "anything" that comes "out of" a great comedian is funny - it is NOT.
One gets the impression that Mr Gustafsson, somehow, was duped into believing that "this is funny" and tha he, for reasons unknown, fell for it. Humor is a perishable commodity. "The ironic generation" was hilarious - but that was then. Attempting to package an inferior copy of it today just leaves a stale taste - and somewhat of a bewilderment with regard to how this managed to reach production.
One can but hope that poor scripting doesn't rub off too much. With the right material Gustafsson is a very apt comedian - one that ought to have many more years of excellence to deliver...
