In the Army Now (Førstegangstjenesten)

Origin and Year: Norway, 2021	Director: Erlend Westnes
Runnning time: 3 x 10 min

This popular, Norwegian awards-winning series about young soldiers reminds us that if anyone can make truly crazy and original comedies, it’s the Norwegians. The comedian and instagrammer Herman Flesvig has managed to make the viewer’s record in Norway with this sketch comedy model with short episodes. Playing the roles of a military enthusiast, a competitive psychopath, a childish grammar school student and a wannabe gangster, all catered for by himself, he created a brilliant parody of various military narratives and an extremely funny show at the same time.
