Excuse my ignorance but is the puppet really speaking Swedish or random rabble? Either way it's funny. I like how ESPN uses athletes in their commercials.

Haha, you're excused. I hope that didn't sound like Swedish to you.

Yeah, I don't know how many languages I can get from "sound", Spanish, German, French? Being able to identify a real language from a made up language is probably a good life skill. Based on my posts I need to work on English...

it's not really Swedish, no. But this cook is part of the Muppets and he is called "the Swedish chef", so thats the reason behind Lundqvists connection ;-)

Swedes actually are offended by this muppet character. I read somewhere that they think the babble sounds more norwegian and they hate that he's called the Swedish Chef.

Don't see how we (swedes) can be offended by this?!
