6	''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/SwedishMealTime Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time]]'' was a [[AffectionateParody parody]] of ''WebVideo/EpicMealTime'', done with the LargeHam and MundaneMadeAwesome levels turned up to eleven, and overall making the whole thing more DeathMetal. Simply put, you can tell these guys are descended from HornyVikings. The videos have quickly become very popular, with the official Website/YouTube channel reaching over 28,000 subscribers in little over a month. It currently holds 1M subscribers.
7
8	In a sense, it's the logical inversion of ''WebVideo/EpicMealTime'': While ''EMT'' has outlandish foods being prepared with relatively ordinary preparation methods, ''ROSMT'' has relatively ordinary foods being prepared with the most batshit insane methods imaginable.
9
10	After no updates for two years, the series resumed a bi-weekly schedule in January 2014. They said that, in addition to pursuing other opportunities, [[GonnaNeedMoreTrope they ran out of kitchens they could cook in because they kept trashing them during filming]]. A producer got them a kitchen they could (ab)use on a regular basis. They've since begun cooking in other kitchens like before, going so far as to ask fans if they had a kitchen that they wanted the ROSMT boys to use.
11
12	In January 2015 they teased at a second show called ''Mondays With Mr. Fox''. While it started out as one might expect, the main show spilled over into it when Niclas was absent from the channel for a month. With nothing left to stop him Mr. Fox begins corrupting the show...only to [[OhCrap run like hell]] seconds after he returned.
13
14	On January 6th of 2017, Niclas [[https://www.reddit.com/r/ROSMT/comments/5md333/rosmt_the_6_year_update/ confirmed the obvious]] on the channel's reddit: The project became ''very'' heavy on the five members and due to other commitments (Niclas getting married and Isak having a son now), the group decided to throw in the towel and retire. While Niclas ''did'' hint at a "maybe" to making new videos, it's very small.
15
16	Nevertheless, it was good for us.
17	----
18	!!This channel provides examples of:
19
20	* ADayInTheLimeLight: Niklas, who had appeared in earlier videos (and ''also looks a lot of Niclas Lundberg'', even having as similarly close name) took over the show for two episodes ''Call of Duty Cod'' and ''Grossed Roast Beef''. The former episode being that Niclas was unable to go due to having no pre-dinner snack and the latter being because he and [[TheCorrupter Mr. Fox]] take over the show, at least until ''Crazy Fruitcake'' where Niclas returns and takes the show back from Mr. Fox.
21	* AffectionateParody: of ''WebVideo/EpicMealTime''.
22	** The SeasonFinale is a parody of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGz5lLot4Q0 this scene]] from the Swedish film ''{{Farsan}}''.
23	* AllJustADream: to the relief of Niclas, most of the Pain Inflicting Porridge episode was this.
24	* AprilFoolsDay: The name of the episode, Tenacious Tacos, is enough to arouse suspicion.
25	** AudienceParticipationNumber: Later, on a LiveStream, they let the fans vote on what dish to make next. Tacos ran away with it.
26	* AwesomeButImpractical: Most of the preparation methods look utterly cool, but sometimes are probably counter-productive. Any recipe involving eggs will have the eggs thrown about and broken before they're needed in the recipe, and a myriad foodstuffs get smashed and destroyed. It would go on to get ''worse'' when the series returned at a new location: Niclas broke the table with an ''axe'' in the third episode.
27	* AxCrazy: Probably the world's first media about cooking to use this trope, to the point where Niclas makes use of an actual battleaxe as a food preparation tool on more than one occasion.
28	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBhS19kU4lU Catastrophic Crayfish]] episode starts with the two of them idly drinking coffee. Niclas notes that it [[LemonWackyHello tastes funny]]... and then, it cuts to a trippy sequence of Niclas, Tom and Mr. Fox while the slowed down playback of [[Music/TheBeatles Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds]] playing in the background is the most ''rational'' thing you see.
29	** For one thing, Niclas is ''smiling.''[[invoked]] [[spoiler:And there's a spinning Troll Face in there, too]].
30	** The Christmas tree decorating scene in the Christmas episode.
31	* BerserkButton: "This isn't real mayonnaise, this is Swedish mayo!"
32	* BilingualBonus: Much of the spoken language is screamed Swedish. It's generally more of the same badassery.
33	** In Stomachless Sticky Cakes, there is some spoken Finnish (which seems to mildly unsettle Niclas). [[spoiler:He says "Next time, we speak Finnish"]].
34	** In Cookie Cataclysm, Niclas shouts "Använd ett verktyg för att smöra plåten!" (Use a tool to butter the oven tray!). He then grabs [[VisualPun one of his assistants]] and uses his face to butter it.
35	** In Super Schnitzel, we get a snippet of german.
36	* CallBack: Whenever something is repeated, the last videos where they appeared are put on top of the current one. Such as screaming "UGN!!!"[[note]]"OVEN!!!"[[/note]] or streaming ketchup on something.
37	* CameraAbuse: When Niclas punches more butter into already sizzling butter in Chop Chop Carnage Stew, of course it splatters on the camera and the cameraman.
38	* CatchPhrase: "It's good for you!"
39	** "Nästa gång--..." (Swedish: "Next time..." - In the older episodes, Niclas interrupted the speaker whenever this ''Epic Meal Time'' catchphrase was uttered.)
40	** "Add X - if you want to. We won't. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis This is REGULAR!]]"
41	** "Swedish style!" - using a hilariously over-the-top method to achieve a task, like attaching a whisk to a power drill to whip cream.
42	** The page quote.
43	** "Hacka löken!!" (Swedish: "Chop the onions!")
44	*** In ''Furious Fishdicks'', this became "Hacka fisken!!" ("Chop the fish!!")). With dual-wielded kitchen knives, no less.
45	** '''UGN!''' (Swedish for oven)
46	** "You gotta be gentle with it, like moose meat and a Swedish lady!"
47	* ChefOfIron
48	* ComedicSociopathy: Waterboarding a friend with milk for entertainment. The outtake's caption points out that he's actually drowning. "Next time, we'll need a new assistant."
49	* ContentWarnings: Rated "B" for Barbaric. "Food and gore. Violence. [[FelonyMisdemeanor Ordinary swede]]."
50	* DeathMetal: Probably one of the most metal cooking videos in existence. One of the themes is in this style.
51	* {{Dissimile}}: The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bostongurka Bostongurka]] from ''Furious Fishdick''; "It's like pickles, except it's NOT!"
52	* DontTryThisAtHome: The barbecue episode included the following disclaimer:
53	--> '''ATTENTION!''' Trained Swedes handling the fire. Do not attempt without being Swedish.
54	* DrunkDriver: While playing ''VideoGame/MarioKart'':
55	--> ''"Hey! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERlk0TKGlwg&feature=channel_video_title Don't you drink and drive...]]"''
56	* DuctTapeForEverything: They are seen fixing the badly battered table with duct tape.
57	-->'''Caption''': [[AC:Healing Spell: Duct Tape]]
58	* EasterEgg: [[spoiler:Click on the "Carrots are good for you" picture on the Website/YouTube channel and you'll find [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc3VB2bJ7Aw this]].]]
59	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode of the show ''Spaghetti Explosion'' was actually ''more calmer'' than later episodes. For one thing, Niclas isn't ''shouting'', more in speaking in a deeper voice. Another thing to note that in that episode, the camera was more shakier and unstable. It wasn't until ''Meatball Massacre'' that it developed the style the show has today.
60	** Another thing to note is that in earlier episode, Niclas ate mayo with crackers. When ''Meatball Massacre'' came in, it was just the mayo he now eats.
61	** Some of the members didn't have their traditional appearances in early episodes, perfect example being Niklas (a friend of the group and ''looks eerily similar to the chef Niclas''), sported longer, blond hair unlike later episodes where it's a messy blond-brown and shorter.
62	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Niclas is always nice to the pre-dinner mayonnaise.
63	* EyeScream: Niclas shoves lemons into his eyes during the Superior Smörgåscake episode.
64	** He also squeezes lemon juice into his eyes in Catastrophic Crayfish.
65	** And rubs onions under his eyes in the Meatball Massacre.
66	** The very end of the Christmas episode has Niclas in the process of removing another guy's eyeball with a spoon, which is seen again (and again) in the April Fool's episode.
67	** In one episode he squeezes them into Niklas' eyes.
68	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Swedish sidepork. It's pork, on the side."
69	** "Brown sauce, saucy and brown."
70	** "'''LIQUID BUTTER!''' Yellow liquid and BUTTERY."
71	* FunWithSubtitles: After their hiatus, you can now watch the videos on Youtube with the subtitles on. While the Swedish is translated properly, the subtitles will also react to the surroundings, such as emoticons for facial expressions, and other gems. Like this one from "Power Pea Soup and Patriotic Pancakes:
72	-->'''Niclas''': Put the chopped up ingredients '''[[SuddenlyShouting IN THE PAN]]!''' ''(throws pan at wall behind oven)''\
73	'''Subtitle''': [[AC:<Status: Broken>]]
74	* FurnitureAssemblyGag: One of the final episodes was a spinoff featuring Niclas buying and assembling an IKEA armchair in the series' trademark insane fashion, starting off by throwing out the assembly instructions and culminating in him wringing in screws with his bare hands until they start to bleed. The twist ending reveals Niclas to be living in an asylum, with two doctors watching over him and commenting that his condition shows improvement.
75	* GainaxEnding: "Supreme Swedish Pilsner-Sausage" ends with one of the Swedes saying "next time" before having his head spin around and distort while he screams. The screen then informs us "he died".
76	* AGlassInTheHand: Whenever something needs juicing, squeezing or mashing, it stands a fair chance of getting crushed to death in one hand and the contents sprayed everywhere.
77	* GlassesPull: Niklas, when he [[spoiler:takes up the role of Niclas.]]
78	* [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous German]]: Actual German is spoken in the ending of "Super Schnitzel". Furthermore, the video's description is entirely in (Google Translated) German.
79	** Gratuitous Korean: "Sidepork Pandemonium" features Niclas karate chopping butter in half, indicated by a Korean flag in the top right corner and subtitles (in Korean).
80	** Assorted Scandinavian languages have been thrown around in several episodes, although the numerous similarities between Swedish and other Scandinavian languages may make them difficult to spot even for native speakers. (They have admitted to doing it; sometimes the subtitles give it away.)
81	* HeroicBSOD: Niclas is seen crying at the end of 'Massive Meatloaf Mayhem', having realized they forgot to buy mayo.
82	** ''"Next time, we won't forgot mayonnaise."''
83	** In ''Killer Kalops'', when Niclas is taking out the mayo from the fridge in order to have some pre-dinner mayonnaise, Mr. Fox trips him over from beneath the table, spilling the mayonnaise all over the floor. Predictably, Niclas is devastated by this turn of events.
84	* HilariousOuttakes: Often posted on the channel and they are as amazing as the actual show itself.
85	** Occasionally included ''in'' the episodes. For example, in "Crucified Carrot Cake", Niclas's initial carrot cake falls through the springform and on the floor. After a few moments, he puts another cake ''carefully'' into the oven, and shrugs.
86	* ItemGet / [[ExcaliburInTheStone Cleaver In The Tree Stump]]: After being deposed from his position as the "leader" of ROSMT by Niklas and Mr. Fox, Niclas' quest for an artifact with which to reclaim his rightful place culminates in this. As he pulls the cleaver free and holds it aloft in triumph, the ItemGet melody from [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/SuperMetroid Super Metroid]] plays in the background.
87	* KubrickStare: Niclas performs a sustained one during the intermission of "Carnivorous Christmas Table".
88	* {{Ladette}}: In Cookie Cataclysm, one is being served. Even Niclas has to quickly run away in fear.
89	* LargeHam
90	* LastNoteNightmare: The ending to the beginning of ''Carnivorous Christmas Table''.
91	* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Niclas isn't remotely scary when he's talking out of character, and the team as a whole did an episode that involved chopping a ludicrous amount of onions for charity.
92	* MoodWhiplash: Anytime Niclas is peeling carrots, it is shown as a mundane and somber task, worthy of tears.
93	-->'''Niclas:''' (''from "Killer Kalops"'') There really is no other way.
94	** [[spoiler: The "Palt" episode ends like this: After Niclas and Niklas begin to enjoy the palt, Niklas feels strange and ends up collapsing. Niclas takes him to a doctor only to learn that Niklas is in a "paltcoma", to which he will ''never wake up from'']].
95	* MushroomSamba: Start of the "Catastrophic Crayfish".
96	* NoIndoorVoice: Niclas melts butter by ''[[https://youtu.be/zTUfr-if3V0?t=42s screaming at it]]''.
97	** And he does it again in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05Byne839Pg Crucified Carrot Cake]].
98	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQTUXeoAydA Ludicrous Lousy Cats]] can even pierce your ear. RIP.
99	** Forget melting butter! In ''Crazy Fruitcake'' Niclas' yelling is sufficiently powerful to tear a hole in the fabric of space, through which he teleports Tom to his side.
100	* NorseByNorsewest: Averted.
101	* OnceAnEpisode: Pre-dinner snack! Leading to the below.
102	* OneSteveLimit: Subverted, with Niclas and Niklas
103	* PetTheDog: "Moose meat. You gotta be gentle with it, just like a Swedish lady... [--swedish ladeh--]"
104	** ''[[SubvertedTrope "But I won't!"]]''
105	* ProductPlacement: ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' is played at the beginning of Massive Meatloaf Mayhem.
106	** Mr. Fox is also seen playing it in "Catastrophic Crayfish".
107	** Obviously, the specific brands of food used.
108	*** '''APPROVED.'''
109	** In episode 3, Niclas gets his ingredients from an ICA supermarket.
110	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: The thrash metal intro. '''"REGULAR. ORDINARY.''' '''''SWEDISH MEAL TIME!!!! (IN SWENGLISH.)"'''''
111	* RealMenEatMeat: Niclas spends the entirety of "Satanic Salad" making... well, a salad. When he realizes this at the very end, he snaps.
112	** '''"WAIT.''' '''''[[LateToTheRealization THIS IS SALAD.]]''''' '''[[ScreamingWarrior AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]]'''
113	-->'''Caption''': [[AC: Next time, we'll figure out who the [=* tricked us into making a * salad ***=].]]
114	** Refers to a leaf garnish as "green shit for pussies" on one occasion.
115	* RingRingCrunch: The timer in Crucified Carrot Cake is disposed of this way. With a battle axe.
116	* RockPaperScissors: Niclas challenges Mr. Fox into one to decide which one will take care of the laundry in "Catastrophic Crayfish". He loses.
117	-->"One day, Mr. Fox!"
118	* RunningGag: Pre-dinner mayonnaise. '''IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.'''
119	** Especially noticeable when they forget the mayo in one video. Our hero is [[HeroicBSOD a sobbing wreck at the end of it]].
120	** Smashing a package to empty out its contents, or tearing out the lid with its teeth, and throwing the contents willy-nilly at the cooking utensils.
121	** In the new episodes, the table in the middle of the kitchen receives a lot of abuse, in the form of cuts with knives, getting food smashed against it, being ripped apart by axe strikes and even being further damaged with the very pieces that compose it. Getting fixed with duct tape is a common occurrence too.
122	** If a dish involves the use of a Falukorv sausage it will typically end up on Niclas' head at some point.
123	* SayMyName: "Misterrr Foxxx!"
124	* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:If you look at the aforementioned [[EasterEgg secret video]], you can see glimpses of "[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} THE MAYO IS A LIE]]".]]
125	** [[spoiler:It's a shoutout to an old Website/SomethingAwful creepypasta/ARG that concerned numerically-named videos displaying bizarre black-and-white videos, purported to have been broadcast to a tiny Colorado town in the nineties.]]
126	** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQTUXeoAydA Ludicrous Lousy Cats]] Niklas hands out some {{Franchise/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}} trivia while glazing buns.
127	** Toxic Cheesecake's opening and description references Franchise/HarryPotter - specifically, the memory bowls, which contain [[spoiler:one of the crew having sex with Mr. Fox]].
128	** Super Schnitzel begins with Niclas singing the opening theme from RonjaTheRobbersDaughter.
129	** They actually use the WebVideo/EpicMealTime Cooking Arsenal in more recent videos.
130	* SitcomArchNemesis: Mr. Fox.
131	* SoundEffectBleep: The bleating of sheep for profanity. Probably a ShoutOut to WebVideo/EpicMealTime.
132	* SpiceUpTheSubtitles: Includes not only translations from Swedish to English, but also emoticons and onomatopoeia.
133	* StrangeSalute: Done to pictures of the King of Sweden. The back of the right palm is pressed against the forehead, fingers pointing upward.
134	* SuddenlyShouting: Occasionally dips into this: "You must be gentle with it--'''BUT I ''WON'T!!!'''''"
135	* TakeUpMySword: In Call of Duty Cod, Niclas [[spoiler:[[FateWorseThanDeath runs out of mayonnaise]]]]. As his last act, he declares that Niklas is Niclas now.
136	--> '''Niklas:''' "I am Niclas..." Isak hands him an axe "'''I AM NICLAS. ''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA''"'''
137	* TestosteronePoisoning: From Sweden, with love.
138	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: See page quote. OnceAnEpisode, even.
139	** "GOT A KITCHEN, ''BITCH?''"
140	* ThisIsReality: The series frequently reminds the viewer that these are perfectly run-of-the-mill cooking methods by Swedish standards.
141	* TitleScream: The newer videos have two rock intros, one in the style of thrash metal and the other in glam metal.
142	* TokenNonHuman: Mr. Fox. ([[Literature/FantasticMrFox Not that one.]])
143	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Niclas always grabs a spoonful of Pre-Dinner Mayonnaise.
144	* TrashTheSet: One of the reasons given for the 2 year hiatus was that they'd done so much damage in the kitchens they'd been using up to that point that they didn't have anywhere to film anymore.
145	* UseYourHead: "PREPARE THE MEAT!" ''(stars headslamming the table to tenderize the meat)''
146	** Also used to "chop" onions in "Deadly Thinbread Rolls".
147	** Niclas also does this to "roll" the pizza dough in "Petrifying Pizza".
148	* TheVoiceless: Instead of talking, Mr. Fox just sort of shakes.
149	* WorldOfBadass: Sweden, if these videos are to be believed.
150	* WrestlerInAllOfUs:
151	** Occasionally used as food preparation techniques.
152	** ''BODY SLAM THE SAUSAGE!''
153	* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: The host may have become Jultomten, aka [[spoiler:Santa Claus]].
