I can't understand that blond fella, is he speaking Scottish? posted by Mister_A at 6:54 PM on February 18, 2011
It's Norwegian. This is straight up horseheadism and I'm shocked to see it here on display in a place that considers itself progressive. posted by Burhanistan at 6:56 PM on February 18, 2011 [3 favorites]

No, I'm pretty sure that's Scottish.

Violence is bad. Scripted comic depictions of violence against people wearing horse masks is bad. posted by at the crossroads at 7:47 PM on February 18, 2011

This. Hell, I want that clang sound on demand to me at any given moment throughout the workday.
Can't put my finger on why, but these videos just slay me. posted by pianoboy at 8:45 PM on February 18, 2011 [2 favorites]
No doubt there's some deep cultural significance to these clips (maybe an ancient blood feud between the Norse and Sleipnir), but they're perfect just the way they are. No context required. posted by Kevin Street at 8:47 PM on February 18, 2011
I want that clang sound on my phone.
I want an augmented reality app on my phone that uses face recognition algorithms to superimpose horse heads on one in ten random people appearing on the camera at any given time. posted by cortex at 8:52 PM on February 18, 2011 [2 favorites]

Now I want a horse mask, but I'm not so sure about being whacked in the face. Mushrooms would be ok, though. posted by loquacious at 9:16 PM on February 18, 2011
What is it about that horse head that, I swear, I know I'm gonna meet up that horse man someday in my dreams or in real life (hopefully not real life), I mean what if you're on your deathbed and the last image you see is that horse head guy dancing picking mushrooms or sitting peacefully on a tram just before he gets El KA-BOnGED!! in the face with a tray?

First Tram vid. for me. I rolled.
Why is a dude with horse head getting slapped in the face with a tray so funny??
Perhaps, it's better to simply view again, and enjoy....

I think these must have derived from the Snel Hest (nice horse) meme in sweden. It's an internet meme like Lolcats. Only it involves a Nice Horse instead of a lolcat. posted by RampantFerret at 10:15 PM on February 18, 2011

I hear that though alcohol is not illegal in Norway, it's sort of hard to get. This probably explains a lot. posted by philip-random at 10:45 PM on February 18, 2011 [2 favorites]

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole.
I have personally called Picasso an asshole. Not to his face, unfortunately, as I'm, completely certain we would have fought, gotten drunk and made fun of other artists together. In that order. posted by cmoj at 10:12 AM on February 19, 2011
