LatestHipphipp! is a Swedish comedy sketch show that ran for two seasons on SVT - First in 2001 and then in 2003. It also spawned a live-show and a four-part Christmas special. A film about Morgan Pålsson and Robert Flycht had its premiere in late February 2008. The show was created by and primarily stars the duo of Anders Jansson and Johan Wester. Many characters and concepts evolved from stage shows that the pair performed during the 1990s.
Acting
Jansson and Wester's decade-long chemistry, built from 1990s live shows.
Writing
Characters so specific they demanded their own feature film spinoff.
Creators
Anders Jansson, Johan Wester
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show's title comes from a Swedish rowing chant, which the duo repurposed into their signature absurd catchphrase.
Hipphipp! represents a rare SVT comedy that successfully bridged regional Swedish stage tradition to national television — the 2008 film proved the characters had enough depth to survive outside sketch format.
