1	''{{Smartskalle}}'' (literally 'smart skull' or 'wise guy') is a Swedish children's edutainment show, or 'science show for children', as Website/TheOtherWiki calls it. It stars Tobbe Blom as the host, along with his {{Mook}}s -- 'smartskallarna', who are played by Fredrik Lexfors, Daniel Ottosson, Ebba Wallmén, and Alex Kantsjö. They take such concepts as static electricity, Newtons laws, magnetism, various 'parental lies', and a lot of unrelated things, and present them in a way which is both understandable to children and actually pretty funny.
