4	'''Sweaty Beards''' is a 2010 Swedish movie which aims to answer the age-old question of what would happen if you mix [[HornyVikings Vikings]] with Creator/MontyPython and Film/TheKarateKid. Oswald is a fat, cowardly Viking living in 10th century Sweden. He's regularly bullied and abused by his peers for his failings, including his considerably more badass brother Sigtrygg. One night, Oswald and Sigtryggs parents are murdered by the evil Finnish warrior, Perset Olale, so Sigtrygg and Oswald decide to seek out the help of [[OldMaster Kolskägg]], to awaken Oswalds latent powers as a [[TheBerserker Berserker]]. [[EpicFail This fails spectacularly]], not only causing Oswald to be outlawed, but leaving Sigtrygg halfdead as well. Oswald has no choice but to flee to Uppland, where he meets up with King Erik Widearm and the Uppland Freedom Army. Will Oswald be able to become a Berserker and reclaim his familys honor in the [[TournamentArc island deathmatch tournament?]]

6	All of the dialogue is done in an intentionallly exaggerated [[FunetikAksent "Swenglish"]] accent which can be a real chore to sit through, if you don't find it funny.

9	!!This film contains examples of:
10
11	* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Sigtrygg, in spades.
12	* AnachronismStew: Jean Guillou is a [[{{Swashbuckler}} Renaissance swordsman in the 10th century.]] The whole movie is also framed as a filmmaker shooting a documentary and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou getting a little too close to the action.]] ([[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Gee, were did they come up with that funny and original idea?)]]
13	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Oswald Swinesmell.
14	* TheBerserker: Oswald again. we also get to see an unrelated one in the beginning.
15	* BerserkButton: For Oswald it's indecisive women. Of course, it's a literal BerserkButton for him, causing him to go Berserk and [[spoiler: withstand Persets poisoned knife-blows, thus defeating him.]]
16	** The documentary filmmaker catches a sword to the midsection from a random Viking, because he mentioned Persets name.
17	* CoversAlwaysLie: You see that cover up there? Hildegunn is a passive love interest in the movie, she never fights. Oswald doesn't wear chainmail, and Sigtrygg is never seen using that giant axe.
18	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Oswald, and it takes a while before he weighs over if favor of the latter.
19	* DevilInPlainSight: In the tavern, Perset Olale calmly and clearly states who he is and that he killed Oswalds parents. Oswald promptly challenges him to a deathmatch... and then does the same thing to everyone else in the room.
20	* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Jean Guillou fights equally well with both hands and can throw his RoyalRapier like a boomerang. Too bad nobody taught him no to [[OhCrap drop his sword, though.]]
21	* MadeOfIron: The documentary filmmaker has earned this title, going through all of the movie with a sword through his stomach and still managing to complete his documentary and ''fight Perset'' just for good measure.
22	* VillainTeleportation: This is Persets entire fighting strategy.
23	* WarriorPoet: Oswald tries to compose a Viking "kväde" after [[spoiler: killing Jean Guillou]]. It's awful.
