Its as real as it gets. I play every now and then when we get together with the boys
That’s no joke. This what guys do when they have Sauna with their mates – as usual finns are quiet and reserved so they might not spell it out when they invite you, but expect to play round or two during the night.
It is a meme. And a really fucking stupid one, making finns seem like anophilic perverts.
I really wish it would just go away. It is embarrassing. The fact that people are asking whether or not it’s real means it is way beyond time for this idiocy to cease.
Edit: keep the downvotes coming, it’s like ambrosia.
Yes. It is 100% true. Why would we lie about something like this?
The next time you go to the sauna, you can try to see if your finger can fit between the benches.
Advanced players use their dick
I just came back from do it at my local sauna and it was fun. Pentti even came over me, hilarious!
Uhh, why wouldn’t it be real? We Finns are completely okay with nakedness and saunas.
That’s how I met my first girlfriend. So fun!
One version is “Secret Gollum” but it requires a bit of planning. It’s a sauna trip to cottage, but one extra member is invited by the organizer and they are taken to the sauna before anyone else. The goal is to guess the identity of the Secret Gollum, and there is the gist that the Secret Gollum gets to put fingers in two assholes.
I can confirm. In fact, I am a multiple Gollum champion in our sauna crew. I am known by the master name Brown Finger.
For most Finns, sauna is a holy place at least to some degree. And Finland is/has been a protestant Christian country for centuries.
So draw your own conclusions.
It depends on the friend group. Some do it for real, some only do it a little bit as a meme, and some think it’s a meme altogether and don’t think it’s real.
Modern society is slowly ruining it I guess, but yeah it’s a tradition.
To be honest, I saw how *pomppa* is played much more times than *Klonkku*. Also in *palju*.
Sweden even sings about it in Eurovisions today.
As absurd as it sounds yes.
Totally real. It is on the Internet, after all. We all know that everything on the Internet is real!
Its not in the asshole, but the gollum tries to poke everyones buttocks from the below and the guy who reacts becomes the next gollum
Or thats how i’ve played it
Are you implying someone would use the internet tobtell non-truths? Preposterous.
It’s mostly probably just a meme, but especially mechanical engineering students sometimes do some pretty strange things in sauna and otherwise.
Just a meme reddit is pushing.
Fun fact: J R R Tolkien’s Gollum was based on this Kalevala poem:
Saunaklonkku surkea
Lauteen alla lymyilijä
Peukun perään pyöräytti
Keskisormen kakkosehen
I played this last summer with my friends. It was so exciting and fun we are going to play it again this summer when we go to summer cottage. We mostly go to different airbnb and the type of sauna is a major factor in our choice.
Fuck me man im so confused on whether this shit is real or not lol
gollum has to claim the ring.
It’s real
Of course it’s real, it’s a tradition. Do you know why it is called Gollum? It’s because Gollum gets a ring on his finger.
First rule of Gollum is you don’t talk about Gollum.

Its true, but we call it gollum who pokes the eye of sauron
my friend lost a finger playing that
I don’t think Sauna would be as popular if it wasn’t for saunaklonkku.
