I thought you don't like comedies and to add subtitles to the show as well I am surprised

Well just because i don't i thought you might but i am not sure if the version online has English subtitles or not since there from Sweden network.

Amy Poehler being told she's good at not listening was right as she never put her phone down the whole time Bruce was talking and I think Birger was also right that Bruce should of learnt some Swedish as he's been with Emma a year and was coming to her home town but taking him across the lake was amusing as they could of drove avoiding his travel sickness

Well the mother had a point quiting his job and following her to Sweden really wasn't a great plan but collapse in the sauna and men dragging him out was very amusing. . I never want to be that close to my girlfriend father junk

Sitting up after he fainted was a little too close Birger's privates

Viveka catching Emma about to give Bruce a blow-job was amusing and I'm not surprise Bruce said he was from Canada after the way the others slagged the USA off but Birger's reaction after the bed broke was priceless, trying to explain the sexy voice was never going to be easy but checking her parents were in bed was a bad idea after she found the sailors hat

With Aubrey Plaza ringing him it was like watching Parks and Recreation as she was working for Amy Poehler but Aubrey giving him the finger was amusing and what bad timing to get rid of the furniture with the immigration paying a visit

Emma getting Bruce to do the ironing and have dinner ready for when she comes home from work was amusing as he said he didn't want to be one of those people and Gene Simmons? making a guest appearance was a surprise but trust Bruce to get a job as a tour guide on a boat and you have to feel sorry for the guy in the job agency

Well going hotel was a good option but the next room was very loud.

Emma seems to be the only one not getting any as he mother was about to get it and the couple in the next room were well at it
Author: bala    Time: 4-16-2014 09:23     Subject: Reply 9#9 codebreaker's post

Who would of thought a simple argument would prove that they were a couple

I love it when the immigration asked Emma whether she was held against her will
Author: bala    Time: 4-16-2014 09:50     Subject: Reply 10#10 codebreaker's post

Well i like how each episode cover a different situation but you would think an ex accountant would have some control over his finances
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-21-2014 03:23     Subject: 1x05 Avsnitt 5

Bruce should really learn the language as laughing when they were talking about a dying friend was inappropriate and God help Bruce if his friends find out he's not from Canada, Patrick Duffy playing Bruce's father was a surprise
Author: bala    Time: 4-21-2014 08:17     Subject: Reply 15#15 codebreaker's post

Well he needs to get more Swedish friend to practice his language skills but Emma really should help him practice his Swedish when they are together instead of speaking English with him would be the best way . Consider he broke up with him i don't think it will be an issue any more. .

Bruce saying he was happy Emma was late and might be pregnant was amusing as his face said the opposite but her not being pregnant and just getting fat was priceless, Bruce getting a visit from his parents didn't go well but the gay bar was amusing
Author: bala    Time: 5-3-2014 00:06     Subject: Reply 17#17 codebreaker's post

Yes but not realise it was gay bar considering he ask if every man he saw was gay
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-6-2014 14:27     Subject: 1x07 Avsnitt 7

Emma was right to be suspicious of Aubrey as she was obviously stalking Bruce and I cant believe he didn't recognised Björn Ulvaeus from Abba at first
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-15-2014 02:15     Subject: 1x08 Avsnitt 8

I thought Bruce slagging off the Swedish to Malin Akerman from Trophy Wife was going to be overheard but Bruce not realising she is from Sweden was a surprise to him and me and trying to get Bengt a date was amusing but his comment about first love didn't go down well
Author: bala    Time: 5-18-2014 04:45     Subject: Reply 19#19 codebreaker's post

Well he wasn't an abba fan so that was understandable but Bruce trying to be swedish just didn't work
Author: bala    Time: 5-18-2014 05:04     Subject: Reply 20#20 codebreaker's post

Well i think Malin Akerman name does sound foreign but i was surprised as well .  Trying to get Bengt a date was always going to be a challenge   Going by himself for 3 months without Emma might mean end of their relationship.

The waiter thinking he's a tourist was amusing but even more amusing thinking he's gay was priceless. Emma getting mad at her roomate was great but Bruce finding out she was having dinner with him was sad since he getting wrong idea. The ring confusion was priceless at the end

Bruce being mistaken for a gay by the waiter was amusing and Gustaf playing with his father heart monitor was stupid but Gary pretending not to understand English was priceless and the waitress loosing her ring was surprising as it did look like that dinner was a proposal

Well that's one way not to get fired

You have to feel sorry for the passengers at the airport having to listen to Bruce complain about his life and I thought they were going to miss each-other at the airport when Emma decided to join him
Author: bala    Time: 5-18-2014 10:04     Subject: Reply 26#26 codebreaker's post

Well that was good timing or they would miss each other but Audry making bruce think they had sex was cruel but the fact she tried rape him was disturbing but his sister buying all the tickets was crazy .

I never really thought i would like this show but it was different type of comedy and thank god they had subtitles

Bruce asking Viveka and Birger for Emma's hand in marriage was nice but you just knew they would say no and you cant blame Emma getting upset when a picture of her is starting to circulating the internet but trying to get one of her smiling was amusing and so much for him proposing to her when she asked him instead
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-11-2015 12:22     Subject: 2x02 del 2

Bruce being busy taking care of Jason Priestley was awkward as he wanted to walk in director Ingemar Bergmans shoes but Bruce had no idea and trust Gustaf to let slip about the marriage to Bruce's mother

It's annoying viptv season 2 have no subtitles for the swedish parts which did make some episode hard to follow.

It was obvious her parent were going to say no but the fact she asked while brushing her teeth was nice.
Author: bala    Time: 6-15-2015 09:44     Subject: Reply 30#30 codebreaker's post

Yep why else have him move in them just add to comedy
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-15-2015 10:09     Subject: Reply 31#31 bala's post

The first two episodes I watched on the Swedish home page which also had no subtitles for their language
Author: bala    Time: 6-15-2015 10:13     Subject: Reply 33#33 codebreaker's post

Ok i wasn't sure about that
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-17-2015 12:38     Subject: 2x03 Del 3

Viveka thinking Birger was masturbating was understandable but amusing and Gustaf getting a dog first was crazy as that was at the bottom of the list, Bruce having to have Ski lessons made sense but by children was priceless
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-17-2015 12:55     Subject: 2x04 Del 4

Wayne and Nancy coming to Stockholm was a nice surprise until they requested that the wedding will be held in the United States which isn't what they want but making it sound like Nancy was dying was a unbelievable as it was only piles
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-17-2015 13:11     Subject: 2x05 Del 5

Bruce getting stung for money at the gym was surprising as he came across as a friend and Emma believing that Americans use the term I love you too much was amusing
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-17-2015 13:31     Subject: 2x06 Del 6

The American star Bruce was supposed to be take care of did look worried when he was kidnapped but it turning out to be about Bruce's bachelor party was amusing
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-17-2015 14:02     Subject: 2x07 Del 7

The children laughing at Bruce's attempts to make himself understood in Swedish was amusing as you just knew they would try and get him into trouble but Gustaf making it worse was predictable
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-17-2015 14:20     Subject: 2x08 Del 8

Bruce going on marijuana hunt as the guy was amusing but the fact it was Amy Poehler asking was surprising
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-17-2015 14:47     Subject: 2x09 Del 9

Emma and Bruce having such a different outlook on life was evident and was bound to lead to them questioning their future together but Aubrey Plaza turning only made things awkward

Emma wanting to liven up the wedding by dancing down the isle was one thing but her dance was a little over the top and Bruce doing his sexy dance was amusing, being pregnant was a nice surprise
