I know some people who do some party Southern Accent and do it better than that. Can't listen to them either.
Grotesco indeed.
Somehow, nobody really deserves Swedish humor...

There was a lot of outrage here when another comedy group had a performer in blackface. Why is this one different?

I assume they have a shortage of black comedians in Sweden and secondly, it's not a sterotyped black person. It's just a white guy playing a black character relatively straight.

The so-called "comedy" of the example you site consisted entirely of mocking black people, whereas this doesn't at all.

It's not a tough distinction.

Nevertheless funny, in part two, the Swedish text on top: (transl.) "we have problems with the subtitles because the actors don't seem to be able to speak English." Ho. Ho.
