    This topic is problably only interesting to the swedes on the site, but since there's a fair amount of us i thought i'd bring it up. 
     
    Right now on Kanal 5 on the show "Vem Kan Slå Filip & Fredrik" they're competing in Kinect Sports as one of the competitions 
     
    How much do you think microsoft paid for that?

    The only thing I've ever watched by Filip & Fredrik was when they visited the Westboro Baptist Church and when Marilyn Manson was a guest on their show.

    I think there's a good chance Microsoft didn't pay a dime. 

    Also, Vem Kan Slå Filip & Fredrik is terrible (but then, so is popular Swedish humour in general).

    I kinda like it, then again you'd probably have to be a fan of those guys to appreciate it. How come you don't think they paid anything? I mean they've never used any other VG motion peripheral in their shows afaik, granted they didn't really advertise the kinect much

    @Icemael:  Okay, I think I get that Joke from metalocalypse about the two swedish dads sitcom now. They were trying to say that swedish humor is bad. Good to know!

    Kinect has also been advertised on the Norwegian version "Hvem kan slå aamodt og kjus". Kinect adventures and kinect sports was featured. During the commercials I have seen some Kinect adverts as well.

    Because Kinect seems to me like the kind of thing Filip & Fredrik would want to have in their show. But this makes me think maybe Microsoft paid after all:

    It would be pretty weird if both Filip & Fredrik and their Norwegian knockoffs (or is it the other way around?) decided, at the same time, that they wanted Kinect in their shows.

    I'm kinda out of touch, I know. But what kind of humour are you referring to?

    Filip & Fredrik, Roast på Berns (and almost all the comedians in it) et cetera. Basically most of what's currently big.

    Yeah I saw the commercials for that 
     
    But I just think that they looked at the Kinect and said: "Den här grejen ser ganska cool ut, vi borde kanske ha med den på programmet"
     
    Or something, I don't think Microsoft cares
