History YMMV / MonteFjanton

* AcceptableTargets:
** Helena Bergström and Colin Nutley, because Felix believes them to be untalented and nepotism almost always being involved around their movies.
** The Sune reboot and the Åsa-Nisse films, because they made a lot of money in the box office despite them, to Felix, being very abysmal movies.
** The raggare subculture. Once in a while the members of the channel will also poke fun at ''buskis''-comedy[[note]]A Swedish genre of (usually) live-action theater which focuses more on LampshadeHanging and ToiletHumour than plot and characters[[/note]].
** The Guldbagge Awards.[[note]]An annual reward on a much smaller scale but similar to the Oscars.[[/note]] According to Felix, there just aren't a lot of award-worthy Swedish movies, which results in The Guldbagge Awards awarding what sucked the least and not movies that are actually good.
** [[InternetJerk Youtube comments]].
** The Swedish Film Institute, because it's very selective when it comes to what movies they fund - on principle, they don't fund horror movies, and they notably denied ''Den blomstertid nu kommer'', but they readily fund questionable indie projects and funneled millions into generic, safe movies such as ''Halvdan viking''.

** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtOSRQa_PgM this]] fan made WebAnimation/YoutubePoop based on the review of Hercules from 2016, which was acknowledged on Monte Fjanton's official twitter, [[Creator/DingoPictures Wabuu]] is referred to as "the lord of the underworld". Come three years later, and we see Wabuu assuming this exact role in Dingo's Inferno. The same YTP has a joke early on about Felix watching one of his old reviews and getting distressed by it; four months later, Felix made a video where he reviewed the first three reviews with similar results.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

* CriticalResearchFailure: Even though Felix' videos usually are very well researched, he sometimes slips up. In some early episodes of Felix Recenserar, he has a hard time identifying the slang words for police used in some of the movies he's reviewing. Other more specific examples often show up when he reviews adaptations he didn't [[ReadTheFreakingManual Read the Freaking Source Material]] of:
** He lampshades and justifies this in his review for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls1'', saying that he doesn't have the time to watch the show just to understand the movie.
** In the review for ''Nattbuss 807'', Felix seemingly doesn't know that there's a part of Stockholm named Handen [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments (which is also the Swedish word for "the hand")]], which leads to him being confused when a character says there's been a murder in Handen.
** In the review for ''Under ditt parasoll'', a movie starring the Swedish band Sven-Ingvars, Felix shows that his research about the band went not much further than the history of the band. The plot involves two villains wanting to steal the sheet music to a potential hit song after they failed to buy the rights for it, and Felix questioned why they had to go through a lot of hassle to do so when they could just ''steal the sheet music from the pianist'' during a saloon scene in the movie. However, the song that the saloon pianist plays is not the song in question, but rather an older hit song by the band.

** One major slip up comes from his review of [[Literature/TheCircle2011 the movie adaptation of The Circle]], where he implies that [[spoiler:Anna-Karin raped her love interest]], which doesn't happen in the movie nor the book.

* HoYay:
** In Mystikhörnan, the bond between Morgan and Kenneth may be slightly dysfunctional[[note]]Morgan appears to care about Kenneth but still has a LackOfEmpathy, especially in the third season, meaning he bosses him around a lot and Kenneth sometimes doesn't have the guts to fight back[[/note]] but also comes across as very intimate, to the point that Kenneth seems more attached to Morgan than to his daughter or ex-wife. For instance, when Kenneth gets put into a FriendVersusLover-situation with Morgan and his wife, he chooses Morgan directly leading to a divorce, and Morgan is shown to have carried around a photo of him and Kenneth for many years even after they went separate ways (with his only other photos being of himself, Alex Jones, and a possible ex-girlfriend).
** In-universe, when reviewing 9 Millimeter, Felix reads a lot of subtext into the relationship between "Paolo"[[note]]Malik[[/note]] and "Kalle".[[note]]Ruiz[[/note]]
** Felix also jokes in-universe about shipping Mata Nui and Merus in ''{{Toys/Bionicle}}: Legenden Återuppstår'' after a FoeYay-laden exchange where Mata Nui angrily growls that "I already have everything I want... You."[[note]]For context, he had just defeated Merus in battle and Merus was begging for his life, saying Mata Nui could have anything he wanted.[[/note]]

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: While Felix' reviews tend to be more humorous than educational, he (and Basse by extension when he writes the script) occasionally combines their sense of humour with some good lessons about filmmaking and other parts of life. Specifically:
** PSA films should try not to exaggerate the truth too much, because otherwise the risk of [[DontShootTheMessage people not taking a good lesson seriously]] becomes much higher. This is especially true for Swedish anti-bullying videos, which tend to exaggerate the problem so that all the victims end up self-harming or trying to commit suicide without taking into account that most victims actually survive bullying (even if they are deeply affected by it).
** BlackComedy ''can'' work, but if done clumsily and unprovoked (especially in [=YouTube=] comments) chances are people will get angry at you even if they do generally like that sort of humour. Or more succintly:
--> '''Felix''': "What, 'you should be able to joke about anything'? Sure, but then the joke actually has to be good, you fucking dickhead."
** While having an OldShame (or a dozen) may bring you intense humiliation, the benefits of developing your creative skills heavily outweigh the downsides of the old shames you will inevitably create in the beginning. Recognizing something you did in the past was cringeworthy is a sign that you've grown since then and learned from your mistakes, and if nothing else, YouAreNotAlone - everyone has done something equally if not more embarrassing themselves.
** Toxic family dynamics are more common than you'd think and nobody has a completely unproblematic relationship to their family, and that does not neccessarily entail physical abuse - it could be things such as certain topics being taboo within the family or that [[FantasyForbiddingFather life choices aren't approved of]].
** In 2015 and 2016, Monte Fjanton collaborated with the organisation UR (Sweden's main educational broadcasting company) to create three comedic sketches promoting smarter studying in school. Two out of the three sketches veer heavily into SpaceWhaleAesop territory, but the third featuring [[ConspiracyTheorist Morgan Månstråle]] failing miserably at a job interview due to his CriticalResearchFailure and abrasive manners has the much more tangible moral of "Study now - that way you'll avoid embarrassing situations later!"

** [[{{GIFT}} Youtube comments]].

* In the review of Stockholmsnatt, released in 2012, Felix made a joke about selling sex to Paolo Roberto. Come 2020, and Paolo Roberto is caught buying sex under less than consensual circumstances.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The character of Axel Jonsson, who appears in [=S2E03=] of Mystikhörnan, is exciplitly based on Alex Jones, and according to Basse, the plot of the episode was based on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqUk28OwHs this]] clip of him turning Super Saiyan.

* RetroactiveRecognition: [=S2E03=] of Mystikhörnan features Swedish stand up-comedian Carl Stanley as an Alex Jones-inspired troll hunter. This was in 2015, at a time when Stanley was transitioning from stage magic to comedy, and was still an obscure name in the latter field.

** In Mystikhörnan, the bond between Morgan and Kenneth was probably intended to be dysfunctional[[note]]in flashbacks, Kenneth is clearly seen being very uncomfortable around Morgan, and in the present Morgan tends to [[LackOfEmpathy show no regard for Kenneth's feelings]][[/note]] but also comes across as very intimate, to the point that Kenneth seems more attached to Morgan than to his daughter or ex-wife. For instance, when Kenneth gets put into a FriendVersusLover-situation with Morgan and his wife, he chooses Morgan directly leading to a divorce, and Morgan is shown to have carried around a photo of him and Kenneth for many years even after they went separate ways (with his only other photos being of himself, Alex Jones, and a possible ex-girlfriend).

** Morgan Månstråle's theories have a lot of holes in them. [[BerserkButton He doesn't like having them pointed out]].

** In the Första Intrycket episode for Tre Solar, Felix and Basse had a pretty lighthearted reaction to the death of Rikard Wolff's character, joking that it'd stop him from doing the voice of [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]].[[note]]Though Tre Solar was released 10 years after The Lion King.[[/note]] It becomes a lot harder to watch come Rikard Wolff's passing just barely 6 months after the video was uploaded. Making things even worse is ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'' - in a sense, Wolff was prevented from voicing Scar by dying, just like Felix and Basse said.

%% Zero Content Example; someone add examples later. * RootingForTheEmpire: Happens regularly to Felix, especially when he's reviewing a particularly bad movie.

** The Guldbagge Awards.[[note]]An annual reward on a much smaller scale but similar to the Oscars.[[/note]] According to Felix, there just aren't a lot of Swedish movies worth awards, which results in The Guldbagge Awards awarding what sucked the least and not movies that are actually good.

* HilariousInHindsight: In their third multiplayer round of VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII, several of the players joke that Andreas (one of two guest stars from Dunderhumor) shouldn't be allowed to play with them next time because he's too good at the game. Cue the fourth round, which was just Monte Fjanton members anyway, and the fifth... Where Dunderhumor's Walter makes an re-appearance, but Andreas ''still'' didn't show up.

** The Guldbagge Awards. According to Felix, there just aren't a lot of Swedish movies worth awards, which results in The Guldbagge Awards awarding what sucked the least and not movies that are actually good.
* BizarroEpisode: [=S2E08=] of ''Mystikhörnan'' is structured more like a weird parody of a sitcom than anything else, and even for ''Mystikhörnan'' standards, it kind of comes out of nowhere.
