Barkebille boogie

  • "Svigerfars motorsag":
    • The narrator's father-in-law has a spectacular Freak Out when he's caught in tax evasion, and the tax collector shows up to claim half of everything he owns — so the father-in-law loses his temper, gets a chainsaw and splits everything he owns, including his furniture, his television and even his toilet, in two. Then he calmly tells the tax collector to go ahead and take his half of everything.
    • The father-in-law later gets revenge on the tax collector: he gets into septic tank emptying and pays 50% of the sewage in taxes.

Kjekt å ha

  • "Kjekt å ha" has plenty of hilarious lines:
    • "I have tennis shoes for tennis halls, I have tennis elbow and tennis balls"
    • "On the wall I have a barometer / I never look at it, but I know what it's called / And if my neighbour gets naked, I have binoculars"
    • Sunde tries to rescue an old pair of slippers from the trash. After a verse of him being sneaky about it, one of his kids says, "Mum, look what Dad found in the trash!"
    • The narrator mentions saving his farts in bottles.
    • One of the strange things the narrator owns is a telefax in the bathroom. He's sure it has some kind of use.
    • Sunde talks about when one of his friends bought an old, crappy car. His wife wanted him to get rid of it. He instead bought another one to strip it for its parts... but the new car had exactly the same problems as the old one. Then he bought an old bus "because its battery was so good". His wife finally got fed up, jumped into the bus and left him. Sunde's reaction? "That bus sure came in handy!"

Nå er begeret nådd

  • "Sokka mine":
    • The narrator gets increasingly angry that his washing machine keeps eating his left socks, until in the last verse he has a full-blown Freak Out, screaming at the machine that he wants his damn socks back, and when it fails to comply he blasts it with a shotgun.
    • Later, he goes through a second Freak Out when a convenient phone call clues him in to the fact that the machine was designed to eat socks:
      "Yeah, this is Sunde? ...Yeah, no, I don't buy from telemarketers, I don't — what? Socks? A sale on — Yes, I do need socks, I need... yeah! Should we say four hundred blue left socks? Yes! ...How did you know that? You... oooh, I know that voice! You were the one who sold me that washing machine last month! I'll take my four hundred right socks and pull them right over your head! And then you can stand there in the dark and fart — you bee scrotum! I have no words! I ONLY HAVE RIGHT SOCKS!!"

Sånn er'e bare

  • "Hest er best som pålegg", a hilarious tale of horseback riding gone wrong:
    • The horse looks so shabby that Sunde has to ask if they're sure it's alive. This apparently insults it so much that it attacks Sunde.
    • When Sunde manages to get on it, it refuses to run... until a random lady's umbrella scares it so much that it throws off Sunde and runs into the sunset. It somehow makes it into another country before being caught. The horse later runs away again, and this time it's gone for good.
    • The choruses contain several amusing descriptions of the horse, including "life-threatening in the front, life-threatening in the back, and just as easy to control as an oil slick".
    • Sunde laments, "I've seen people ride horses, I know it's possible!"
  • In "Boltiten", one of the TV shows features shark cage diving. The cameraman is upset because he has to swim outside the cage.
