Hugleikur‘s humour epitomises a very Icelandic combination of crudeness, surrealism and pathos. It has a gravitas the likes of Cyanide And Happiness can never reach.
Idk if “gravitas” is quite the right description. There’s some good bits in there, but a lot of it is deeply generic edgelord jokes that are basically indistinguishable from C&H. And to be clear while many of them are funny, I also find C&H funny. It’s just not some sophisticated font of insight.
I mean… yeah. C&H circa 2008. Gender identities & domestic violence, amirite guys?
(Also a weirdly high number of jokes where the punchline is just "pedophilia")

(Random C&H for comparison)
IDK man. Might want to unpack this one a little.
