Three brothers, one canoe, zero logic — Norway's weirdest treasure hunt begins.
Season 4 • Episode 10
LatestBrødrene Dal is a Norwegian comedy/sketch-comedy series by Norwegian humour trio KLM, that originally aired as four series in 1979, 1982, 1994 and 2005. A fifth adventure, originally performed on stage in 1997, was edited and released as a movie in 2010. The series bears many similarities to Monty Python's Flying Circus, as the three actors play nearly all the different roles in the series, often multiple roles in each episode. Usually, the series would have a main plot keeping the story and episodes together, but most of the content being semi-related or unrelated sketches. This is especially true for the first series Professor Drøvels Hemmelighet, where the story frequently diverges from the main plot for entire episodes, only to jump back to the plot in the last minute. In the other series, the story is more centered around the actual plot.

Endearingly cheap sets that become part of the joke.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
KLM dominated Norwegian television for decades; this was their signature franchise, referenced in elections and everyday speech.
The 1997 stage show became a 2010 film because fans demanded closure — forty years after the brothers first launched their canoe.
