hidden jokes makes this hilarious for all ages...
I remember watching this series a long time ago on TV, recently I got a couple of vcd's whith the show and I realized that there was so much detail that I never got... It's just littered with (by todays standard, sometimes rastistic) puns and jokes that makes it hilarious for everyone of all ages to name a few: (translations in parantesis)
Magician: vad vill ni ha att äta (what would you like to eat?)
B.Enstöring: Jag skulle vilja ha lite kyckling. (I would like some chicken)
Magician: simelimakakukelikaka... etc, (utters a looooooong spell)
BING! a big fried chicken appears...
Magician: och vad vill du ha? (And you?)
Gam: Jag skulle vilja ha min favoriträtt, inälvor! (I want my favourite meal, intestines [it's a vulture])
Magician: KEBAB!
BING! a heap of intestins appear... I couldn't stop laughing at that one...
Or when they get to Sahara by train... the sahara is essentially a sign by the track surrounded by sand...
and the notes in Enstörings notebook.
the point of this topic is therefore: name your favourite joke in the series...
