History Series / VaranTV

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The Swedish Main/SynthPop fandom whole-heartedly embraced "Tyskarna Från Lund", an AffectionateParody of Music/Kraftwerk. This was in part due to the synth-pop fandom understanding exactly what was parodied, and the band, for all it's jokiness, actually having a decent level of skill and good production values. Varanteatern actually toured as "Tyskarna Från Lund" long after the TV-series went off-air, and produced at least one album of non-parody music under the name.

* ''Peter Kvist''. A hip movie director on a quest to give every character in [[Author/AstridLindgren]]'s bibliography a GrittyReboot.

The humor in Varan-TV more or less [[WIDGETseries defies description]], but it's very much a [[TheNineties a product of it's time]], poking fun at all sorts of cultural, political and media-related goings on, of the times. Had quite a big [[TheVerse verse]] of characters who have shown up in other projects by Varanteatern.

* ''Kreml High''. The misadventures of a bunch of highschoolers in a [[{{Ruritania}} decrepit Soviet republic]], along with the American exchange student [[TheAllAmericanBoy Johnny Tex.]] Recieved it's own SpinOff. The "Russian" spoken in these segments, were actually just disembodied lines of dialogue, ripped from random Russian movies, much to the amusement and/or horror of any actual Russian person watching.

* ''Peter Kvist''. A hip movie director on a quest to give every character in [[Author/AstridLindgren Astrid Lindgrens]] bibliography, a GrittyReboot.

* ''The Evil Paper''. A sentient, evil, serial killing-paper and it's search for more victims.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: "Uncle Watermelon", a childrens puppet show, which is everything other than kid friendly. It features such characters as the molestation-happy "Uncle Overcooked Cauliflower" and [[FantasticRacism "Uncle Rotten Banana from Africa."]]
--> '''Uncle Watermelon''': Hi kids, i'm Uncle Watermelon! And now i'm gonna sit down on my blanket! And if you wanna calculate the area of the blanket you add up the sides plus the sides, hehe yes that's what you do! But if you want to have the area of me, you have to ask for help from my friend [[MouthfulOfPi Pi!]] Hi, Pi!

--> '''Uncle Watermelon''': Yes, but i want to use Pi now, so if we'll take my radius through the base and the height, we'll get my area!

--> '''Pi''': How do we calculate the area on you, Auntie Carrot?
--> '''Auntie Carrot''': Well, you see, then we'll just take Pi times my lenght times three.

--> '''Uncle Watermelon''': Oh, i'm so stupid. Completely lost!
--> '''Auntie Carrot''': [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Perhaps, just consider the fact that your wife is having an affair with Mr.Coconut!]]

--> '''Auntie Carrot''': He's probably got both Syphilis and the Clap, the way he's been fucking around in the vegetable patch!

* DirtyOldMan: Ted Borg, a so called "historian" with the bad habit of confusing his own sexual fantasies with his hitorical research.
-->'''Ted Borg''': I have a theory, that the Egyptians kept pornographic movies wrapped in papyrus. You can only assume that they had titles like "Cleopatra is fucking a cumming Sarcophagus. "Tutan-khummin" is another classic. [[BlatantLies I think]]. And ''Film/TheSeventhSeal''. Or how about "i'm gonna fuck you in the ass, you old Egyptian." Exactly that kind of... smut!''

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Episode 36 of Kreml High, "There's something gross in the water." Filmed like a UsefulNotes/{{Dogme 95}} movie, with Danish narration, shaky camera and a {{Jazz}} soudtrack.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: "Kalle, made it to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Algiers, but got eaten by a cannibal in the first round."

->''"A crazy peep-show with more than 400 kilograms on stage!"''

* BlackBugRoom: In Kreml High and Psycho-news, whenever someone was angsting really hard, they would be bombarded with surrealist imagery while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htxZZKv4pMw "Die Eier Von Satan"]] by Music/{{Tool}} played in the background.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking "Do you carry repressed anger within you and plan to release it? Then don't forget that coming January 1st the punishments will become more severe for the following crimes: assault, speeding and masturbation."

Hi, Pi!
--> '''Pi''': What's up Uncle Watermelon? By the way, you don't really need my help. We can just put you in a bucket of water, and the water that spills out equals your volume!

--> '''Pi''': How do you calculate the area on you, Auntie Carrot?
--> '''Auntie Carrot''': Well, you understand, then we'll just take Pi times my lenght time three.
--> '''Uncle Watermelon''': Really? I thought you had to split you up into small segments, calculated the area and then added it all up?

--> '''Auntie Carrot''': Well, just consider the fact that your wife is having an affair with Mr.Coconut!
--> '''Uncle Watermelon''': What? I don't understand a thing?!

--> '''Uncle Watermelon''': Wow, really. Syphilis? Well, goodbye children!
