* The Norwegian [=TV2=] is an odd case where they give their own titles to movies that haven't got new titles in Norway. Like while the DVD title of ''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1998}}'' is ''Foreldre Fellen'', a direct translation, does [=TV2=] call it ''Som To Dråper Vann'' (''Like Two Drops of Water'', {{Science|MarchesOn}} be damned). They are also quite infamous for their SoBadItsGood BlindIdiotTranslation subtitles with ''Deep fried'' (''sprøstekt'') once being translated (word used very loosely) into ''dypfryst'' (''frozen solid'').
* ''Film/{{Airplane}} is called ''Hjelp, vi flyr!'' (''Help, we're flying!''), which established a trend of translating comedy movies in this way, especially during the eighties. Som examples:

** ''Film/NationalLampoonsEuropeanVacation'' was called ''Hjelp, vi må på ferie til Europa'' (''Help, we have to go to Europe in our vacation'')
** ''Film/NationalLampoonsChristmasVacation'' was called ''Hjelp, det er jul'' (''Help, it's Christmas'')
** Subverted in 2011, when two Norwegian films were released with original titles ''Hjelp, vi er i filmbransjen'' (''Help, we're in the Movie Industry'') and ''Hjelp, vi er russ!'' (appr. ''Help, we're graduating''), knowing fully well that this was "bad" titles.
