Parents went to the states and saw this advertisement for Hurtigruten. I suspect no Norwegians were consulted in the creation process…

  2. I’ve seen a few of those last summer, and always laughed so much trying to pronounce hurtigruten the “American” way 😂😂😂

  5. Wow, that’s very badly done. You could have used the same (mediocre) idea, but with a tiny bit of extra effort had the word correctly. Something like: hur-tee-root-ehn

  16. I had to read that many times.. and I still didnt get it. Until I read the headline.

    I read: “hertug roten.” ..which obviously doesn’t make sense.

  17. Americans complain about learning Spanish as a second language (especially in states with large Latino population).

    You gotta lower your expectations. 😂

  22. We have this billboard in St. Paul, MN. I thought “why the hell does a Norwegian coastal ferry service need to advertise in the American Midwest?” Today I learned that this is also a cruise line for tourists. Mystery solved.

  28. yeah, Norway is insta-famous and it seems no one who worships it knows how to pronounce their language. this is fucked lol

  31. Maybe it’s meant to be the way americans say it incorrectly as a joke? Most ppl wouldn’t get that tho
