C'mon, you're just playing into the stereotype of chilly Scandinavian austerity. What are some of your favorite comedies? There must be at least one divisive pick in there.
I really can't think of anything special. I love Monty Python, but who doesn't? Gregory's Girl and other Forsyth movies. Some odd ones such as King of Comedy, Blues Brothers, Four Lions, Groundhog Day and Annie Hall (if it counts as a comedy). Well basically a lot of Woody Allen's comedies apart from the very earliest ones such as Bananas, which really isn't my type of comedy. The Full Monty. Love that kind of British humor.
But I can't claim that those are movies that everyone else hates.
I have a memory of really loving Big when it came out, but I haven't seen it since so I have no idea of what I'd make of it now. In any case I don't think it's particularly weird to like that one.
The oddest choice I can think of is perhaps the 80s high school movie Can't Buy Me Love, but I doubt that this one is hated by those who actually have watched it. It's just a bit old.
Not sure how my type of humor fits into Scandinavian style. To be honest a lot of our biggest successes at the box office over the years have been Swedish comedies, intended for a Swedish market. I avoid to see them since I never find them funny at all.
Good grief, I sound like a complete bore, don't I?
