Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Áramótaskaup is a 50-year Icelandic tradition where the nation collectively roasts its own year—imagine if SNL's year-end special actually had cultural weight and politicians watched in fear.
Jón Gnarr was mayor of Reykjavík from 2010-2014 as founder of the 'Best Party,' a joke political party that won because Iceland's post-crash population was done with serious politicians.
