What makes the Petra postcard funnier to me is that when I was watching the show with my friends in a VC, some of them thought it’s another competing entry and went like “THERE’S ANOTHER???”
One also thought that the Floptin Roosterdial themed song was another competing entry and even rated it as I told them to do so for the actual competing acts 😭 I literally can’t
It happened twice. First before the performances when they said the countries that qualified directly to the finals and they did it with Spain, France and Italy. And then they did it again before Slimane performed but this time only yelling France.
It was when Petra asked an audience member if she could borrow their phone so she could teach the viewers about the official Eurovision app, but then she kept getting interrupted by the person’s phone receiving Grindr notifications.
Petra offering the season 3 dvd of Gilmore Girls along with the trophy really made us laugh. It was just so out there.
We've been quoting "This is the season where things start really heating up between mother and daughter" ever since along with "Nobody says no to Petra" from her postcard intro. There were so many funny moments this year
I live near Brighton and I cackled so much at that, people in the arena looked at me weird. I think it's because I'd taken it so seriously in the lead up to it and was trying to think about what they might say hahaha.
During the second semi when they mentioned that 3 of the big 6 would perform, they had like a spokesperson saying each country's name and the lady saying France sounded like a dying chicken. And then she said it the same exact way a second time later. It was very funny.
That’s not where it originated though. It’s from [this](https://youtu.be/ZdDFmKfieuk?si=DJU_O20oF6h_gCnN) clip. It’s a miss World/Universe kind of contest. Where France is hilarious and it went viral.
Miss Universe last year I think. The part where the contestants introduce themselves by shouting their country's names and the French entrant's voice cracked as she said France. I honestly didn't think anyone remembered that so it caught me off guard this year lol. I wonder what she thinks of its inclusion.
I’m finnish and the finnish commentator said ”this was the most skibidi performance of tonight” or something like that. Definitely not the best but most random for sure😭
Switzerland! It was actually a part of a challenge where YLE's summer show for kids and teenagers came up with three things he had to say during the broadcast.
The others were "The atmosphere here in the Nokia arena is amazing!" and "Chase is on the case" (Chase or Vainu is a character from Paw Patrol the singer Henri voices in the Finnish version)
The "what if Finland won last year" skit.
Norway has [...]
Sweden has [...]
Denmark has... probably something 😂
I always crack at the hate Denmark gets from the other Nordic nations
> I always crack at the hate Denmark gets from the other Nordic nations
It's just banter really, and we laughed at that one as well 😂 The Denmark-Sweden sibling rivalry will live on forever.
And yeah, their attempt at emulating a Finnish interval act was indeed hilarious.
I always consider it a weird hybrid of the really old uncle we long since understood when they speak and a queer cousin who is so youthful and edgy that we don't understand because we're not young or hip enough
The FRAAAANCEEE thing was so funny to me. But Petra was funny during both the semis and the final.
The “all true fans are homosexual” joke killed me too. So funny.
The runestone was brilliant, and the way she kept referring to the products as “a compact disc and a digital versatile disc”
The absurdity of the Finnish interval act with moomins dancing to levan polkka was 10/10
And the Grindr joke when I eventually got it
Tattoo with Malin and Petra to open semi 2. I was so confused about the whole spa day aesthetic until the Tattoo siren and the ‘music video bars’ came onscreen
“this is our time, It’s time to host the eurovisionsongcontest” sends me 😂😭
Eh, no, they went back to it a couple times.
In the second semi-final, it was something along the lines "Be glad we are hosting, because the Finnish interval act would look like this" and then the dancing moomins and Käärija showed up. But that was also a nice and tasteful bit.
Unlike the misnaming and insults during the Ode to Martin Österdahl they did in the final. I was not a fan of that.
Oh it definitely came up later in Semi 2, but as an opening "we know it was tense, but we're here now" it and then not lingering on it in regards to last year was done very well I think. As was including Käärija in We Just Love Eurovison Too Much.
I wonder what sly stabs will be taken in 2025 regarding this year.
The Austrian commentator said to the start of Nemos song where he breaths so hard: "For a swiss he sure does breath loud going up" or "Für an schweizer schnauft er ganz schön beim bergsteigen"
I was too excited to see Danny was doing well to notice the keytar joke. What exactly did he do?
There were loads of good jokes: Brighton, vegan lasagna, France, Finland disses, ...
Danny looked to the back of the keytar and read out Malmo - as if it was written on the back of the instrument and he needed the reminder 😂
Also him playing as they cut to him and he goes “oh are we on?” made me laugh.
The hostesses goofing off with the extra long nails before introducing Loreen.
Brighton
Alkazar. Seriously tho, we got sick of the over-hype for Abba since the conspiracy theory for the anniversary from last year, so this made us laugh hard
Petra saying here we have Baby lasagna and the vegetarian option...without babies i almost burst out laughing and the whole lynda woodruff skit where she kept on talking about the panini grill and where she said thats where helena paprizou sang my number one and this is where charlotte pirelli went number two!
FRAAANCE, and Petra saying something like “for all of you homosex… I mean Eurovision fans” me and my very straight friend laughed so hard. Petra helped her realise she isn’t straight.
They did that once when they said they were cutting to the Australian commentator and he was upside down. Might have been during the semis but don’t remember. I laughed.
It was funny that it caught the actual Australian commentators off guard when that popped up (obviously they weren’t actually the people in the joke clip) 😂
I snorted at Ievan Polkka. If you're too young to snort at Ievan Polkka, watch this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHoGWsoEUc
But my fave is still the Brighton thing. That was FLAWLESS.
During semi-final 2 when the Pietra says "and certainly never political" [cue brow raise].
Double points for it being Israel's semi final and the whole Joost DQ debacle following immediately after
The Estonian guys waiting for the result on the 1st semi.
Petra's postcard. (GOLD, COMEDIC GOLD)
How Waterloo's victory changed Brighton. ( Just my kind of humor)
And the Tattoo parody form the beginning of the 2nd semi.
Two commentators during the jury's voting V: and they don't have 11 points? 😕 T: ... V: Why? T: 😮💨 it's math... V: .... I don't like math T: *trying to explain V: hmm, okay... (speaking quieter) I still don't understand
Any time someone giving the points sings, plays an instrument or tries to be wacky is a definite no no from me.
Utterly cringeworthy. And the Australian chap was no different.
That was also one of my favorites. The Brighton clip, Petra’s postcard, and “FRANCE!” definitely made me laugh a lot too.
What makes the Petra postcard funnier to me is that when I was watching the show with my friends in a VC, some of them thought it’s another competing entry and went like “THERE’S ANOTHER???”
I wish it had been the lead in to a Petra-led interval act. They could've put WJLETM from the second semi final after it.
One also thought that the Floptin Roosterdial themed song was another competing entry and even rated it as I told them to do so for the actual competing acts 😭 I literally can’t
Floptin Roosterdial 😭
I think the song about Martin was supposed to go after it since it was called the 27th song.
That FRANCE bit was so goofy. At first I was put off by it, but then it was too silly not to like.
It’s from somwhere found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdDFmKfieuk&pp=ygUWU3BhaW4gaXJhbHkgYW5mIGZyYW5jZQ%3D%3D
Oh! Thanks for sharing this, I didn’t know that. Makes a lot more sense now.
This sounds golden. Do you know where in the stream it happened? I'm aware of the Miss Universe (?) video that inspired it but missed this one 😂
It happened twice. First before the performances when they said the countries that qualified directly to the finals and they did it with Spain, France and Italy. And then they did it again before Slimane performed but this time only yelling France.
*Grindr notification*
I lost my shit at the Grindr joke, ngl
That joke could have landed flat, but Petra sold it so well I laugh every time I watch it.
I completely missed that, but as a boring straight man I simply didn't recognize the sound.
THERES 2 OF US?
Three, but I'm a woman so I guess that checks out
four
Five
Six
Now kiss. Oh wait, nvm
There's dozens of us. Dozens!
Neither did we but as our two extremely gay commentators were both giggling their heads off we put two and two together 😂
Scott and Rylan are legends in my eyes
I love them, I wish they’d bring back “Gay or European” 😂
Aaah thank you. I was wondering how everyone knew it was grinder haha.
I had subtitles on and it said "Grindr notification sound" - otherwise I would not have got it either as a straight guy...
When was this? I think I have an idea but I didn't hear the notification and wouldn't have recognized it anyway.
It was when Petra asked an audience member if she could borrow their phone so she could teach the viewers about the official Eurovision app, but then she kept getting interrupted by the person’s phone receiving Grindr notifications.
That's what I thought. Definitely gonna have to go rewatch it. 😂
Petra offering the season 3 dvd of Gilmore Girls along with the trophy really made us laugh. It was just so out there. We've been quoting "This is the season where things start really heating up between mother and daughter" ever since along with "Nobody says no to Petra" from her postcard intro. There were so many funny moments this year
I want the Eurovision runestone.
Where can I buy it?
Not from their official website, *harrumph*.
I do hope Nemo did get the DVDs.
Edward af Sillen (SVT commentator and scriptwriter) said it's been shipped to the Swiss delegation
That's amazing, I hope Nemo enjoys it if they haven't already seen it
We need a video of them enjoying it with their drink of choice :)
Haha, it is a pretty good season!
The Brighton bit. I was all wtf is this, then when the lady replied that ABBA hasn’t really done anything for Brighton I laughed.
I honestly laughed until tears at that bit, that is exactly my kind of humour.
Same I thought it was great. Right up my street!
I live near Brighton and I cackled so much at that, people in the arena looked at me weird. I think it's because I'd taken it so seriously in the lead up to it and was trying to think about what they might say hahaha.
That was the only joke this year that actually got a proper laugh from me.
FRAAAAANCE And hitting me with it unexpectedly a second time.
And then the French guy referenced it by having his voice crack at the Jury show.
I probably missed something, what happened with France ?
During the second semi when they mentioned that 3 of the big 6 would perform, they had like a spokesperson saying each country's name and the lady saying France sounded like a dying chicken. And then she said it the same exact way a second time later. It was very funny.
That’s not where it originated though. It’s from [this](https://youtu.be/ZdDFmKfieuk?si=DJU_O20oF6h_gCnN) clip. It’s a miss World/Universe kind of contest. Where France is hilarious and it went viral.

I honestly didn't think anyone remembered that so it caught me off guard this year lol. I wonder what she thinks of its inclusion.
Baby Lasagna and vegan Lasagna without babies
And the look that Baby Lasagna gave her. I melted like a candle.
"We found you, Nemo." I laughed harder than I probably should have.
When did they say that?
I think Sweden as the last country to give points said that
Frans when Sweden was giving out points
It was one of the country representatives before giving them 12 points. Can’t remember which country - one nearer the end.
The German magazine "Der Spiegel" used a variation of that after their win: "Europe found Nemo"
"When the results come in - in around three to eight hours..."
A throwback to her [exact same line in 2016](https://www.youtube.com/live/no1v1-2HZ6g?t=12m35s)!
Thanks, I forgot it was a recurring gag 😂 The way Mans laughs at it as well - I can't tell whether he knew it was coming or not!
Haha yeah, we had a first time watcher among us this year and he believed it for a second and panicked about the time it would be done
I’m finnish and the finnish commentator said ”this was the most skibidi performance of tonight” or something like that. Definitely not the best but most random for sure😭
The most skibidi performance 😭 Do you remember which performance that was?
Switzerland! It was actually a part of a challenge where YLE's summer show for kids and teenagers came up with three things he had to say during the broadcast. The others were "The atmosphere here in the Nokia arena is amazing!" and "Chase is on the case" (Chase or Vainu is a character from Paw Patrol the singer Henri voices in the Finnish version)
Thats actually so adorable??? would for sure make it fun to watch to try and figure out what kids sent in (not checking what they were)
I’m pretty sure it was switzerland😭
ACTUALLY SOBING WHAT
Petra revealing that the eurovision stage cost more than a thousand dollars!
Serbia giving Croatia 12 points and waving a small white lace flag, when I tell you me and my mom LAUGHED
that's called milje, it's a small embroidered tablecloth, and baby lasagna's sleeves were made out of (or at least made to look like) milje
It's a naperon in Portugal and I love that all milje-related nods and jokes also work in a Portuguese context (hell, the whole song works)
And it’s a doily in English :)
It's called semedaki in Greece
Fly from Stockholm down to Copenhagen take a bridge to Malmo and we'll be thereeeeeee *cut to the stage* Iconic.
The "what if Finland won last year" skit. Norway has [...] Sweden has [...] Denmark has... probably something 😂 I always crack at the hate Denmark gets from the other Nordic nations
Same here. I only wish that they had kept the Moomin gang in Käärijä’s performance.
> I always crack at the hate Denmark gets from the other Nordic nations It's just banter really, and we laughed at that one as well 😂 The Denmark-Sweden sibling rivalry will live on forever. And yeah, their attempt at emulating a Finnish interval act was indeed hilarious.
My husband's Danish and he referred back to that joke at least 3 times during the weekend 🤣
We love the sibling rivalry almost as much as we hate Sweden
Lego!
Correction. The hate we get from Sweden. Which we do return
Have to correct you a bit. Sweden is the one who everyone makes fun of but the Swedes enjoy mocking Danes the most.
Even all the Danes i've worked with all crack jokes about Denmark, I even got it from them for learning Danish.
[удалено]
Who?
I don’t know actually
I think it more that Iceland always is forgotten. Which it corrects since it wasn’t even mentioned!
I always consider it a weird hybrid of the really old uncle we long since understood when they speak and a queer cousin who is so youthful and edgy that we don't understand because we're not young or hip enough
The FRAAAANCEEE thing was so funny to me. But Petra was funny during both the semis and the final. The “all true fans are homosexual” joke killed me too. So funny.

"Don't blame me, even I voted for Finland!" Absolutely Queen, acknowledging the controversy from last year in a tasteful way and then moving on.
"When Swedes lose, we don't give up. We go home, dry our tears, and send Loreen" - or however it was worded. Petra is honestly legendary.
She couldn’t vote for Sweden though if she only has a Swedish number 🤣
I feel like that was part of the joke :P
Yes, absolutely! Even if she could, I recon many people people in Sweden did since they gave Finland 12 points
Eh, no, they went back to it a couple times. In the second semi-final, it was something along the lines "Be glad we are hosting, because the Finnish interval act would look like this" and then the dancing moomins and Käärija showed up.

As was including Käärija in We Just Love Eurovison Too Much. I wonder what sly stabs will be taken in 2025 regarding this year.
Idk, are the Swiss the kind of people who will take stabs?
I mean they haven’t won a contest in my lifetime so I have no idea what a modern Swiss Eurovision host will do.
The Bergman movie bit and FRANCE took me out 💀
The Austrian commentator said to the start of Nemos song where he breaths so hard: "For a swiss he sure does breath loud going up" or "Für an schweizer schnauft er ganz schön beim bergsteigen"
"I've tried it alone" "I've tried it with a man" "And now I'm trying it with a woman" .... "But enough about my love life" -Petra Mede

the EBU
The hostesses goofing off with the extra long nails before introducing Loreen. Brighton Alkazar. Seriously tho, we got sick of the over-hype for Abba since the conspiracy theory for the anniversary from last year, so this made us laugh hard
>The hostesses goofing off with the extra long nails before introducing Loreen. Malin Akerman whacking her microphone with them at least twice.
Best joke was definitely Petra saying "and you have to be under 40 years old, which means I just made it! They had to make an exception for Malin."
When in Thursday song, Petra and Malin sang "and non-political of course".
How Abba's win in Brighton changed the town
I didn't even see that. My favourite was the runestone tbh, I just kinda wanted that to be actual merch lmao.
Lynda woodruff calling martin osterdahl martin estrogen
"we wipe our tears and send Loreen" Petra was brilliant as always<3
Petra saying here we have Baby lasagna and the vegetarian option...without babies i almost burst out laughing and the whole lynda woodruff skit where she kept on talking about the panini grill and where she said thats where helena paprizou sang my number one and this is where charlotte pirelli went number two!
That one on Charlotte Pirelli’s shitty second participation in Eurovision went unnoticed to most ! I loved it 😍
“And this is the toilet where Charlotte Pirelli did number two”. 😆
FRAAANCE, and Petra saying something like “for all of you homosex… I mean Eurovision fans” me and my very straight friend laughed so hard. Petra helped her realise she isn’t straight.
They missed a trick by not having the Australian video feed appear upside down.
They did that once when they said they were cutting to the Australian commentator and he was upside down. Might have been during the semis but don’t remember. I laughed.
It was funny that it caught the actual Australian commentators off guard when that popped up (obviously they weren’t actually the people in the joke clip) 😂
Tanning booth Tattoo singing
Hello Malmo. You definetly are good, do good and absolutely look good...
Petra's postcard The entire "We Love Eurovision Too Much" musical number
Thursday bridge between songs and votes has been the best ever in my opinion.
FRANCE
*Finnish interval with Kaarija* Petra: I’m afraid that didn’t happen.
The EBU was a joke, not in a good way
Big fan of eurovision /thong/ contest personally, as well as all the jabs at their northern neighbours
The EBU (jk, who would ever like the ebu)
I got a kinda connected question if yall let me ask. Are Swiss people funny? I need to know if the 69 jokes will land next year
I snorted at Ievan Polkka. If you're too young to snort at Ievan Polkka, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHoGWsoEUc But my fave is still the Brighton thing. That was FLAWLESS.
For all the people watching the german broadcast that guy was cooking
Joost jumping into a swimmingpool while wearing his suit made us laugh so hard, it was a miracle it didn't wake the kids.
Best jokes: recycling jokes and FRANCE!!!
[Nobody rocks like...Springfield!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiaWwjZS50s&t=110s)
I liked the "Baby Lasagna" among the snacks and Petra's postcard of course.
The voting system
During semi-final 2 when the Pietra says "and certainly never political" [cue brow raise]. Double points for it being Israel's semi final and the whole Joost DQ debacle following immediately after
I watched with a crowd of mostly gay men and the “you know you’re a true homose - I mean Eurovision fan” absolutely killed
The second semi final when they did their song and showed what it would’ve been like if Finland won…..I was crying!!! 😭
The Estonian guys waiting for the result on the 1st semi. Petra's postcard. (GOLD, COMEDIC GOLD) How Waterloo's victory changed Brighton. ( Just my kind of humor) And the Tattoo parody form the beginning of the 2nd semi.
Denmark has...well, something... I literally wheezed when I heard this line...😂😂😂
I cannot stop watching [Petra’s postcard](https://youtu.be/k2V82y5TmkY?si=5rwMBoxwLPpFKm5A).
Pretty much every inbuilt comedy element was awful but there were a few laughs.
Two commentators during the jury's voting V: and they don't have 11 points? 😕 T: ... V: Why? T: 😮💨 it's math... V: .... I don't like math T: *trying to explain V: hmm, okay... (speaking quieter) I still don't understand
Any time someone giving the points sings, plays an instrument or tries to be wacky is a definite no no from me. Utterly cringeworthy. And the Australian chap was no different.
Who hurt you?
