Long before The Joker there was Joker the swedish bartender onboard the imaginary cruise ship between Sweden and Finland on the tv soap "Rederiet" (The shipping company).
"Joker" on "Rederiet" on the imaginary boat M/S Freja
Played by Johannes Brost who died about 2 years ago and who was Mick Jagger's best swedish friend for the simple fact that Jagger saw him on tv and felt they looked alike so he wanted to see him when in Sweden and from then on they were best mates.
"Joker" in action:
Every american tv show and movie was inspired by something from Sweden. Dallas was inspired by Bergman's Scenes from a marriage and Joker was stolen from the swedish tv show "Rederiet" when the people from America spent boring nights in the hotel room in Sweden watching it.
We made all the hit songs from Britney to Katy Perry as well plus built all the tunnels in NYC and supplied the elevator for the statue of liberty. In fact everything american comes with a "made in sweden" label on it. Ford is of course a Volvo side project and Oprah was grown in a swedish test tube lab with dna from the face cloth of Jesus.
Rederiet theme song:
Every swede was hooked in the 90's and aunt Stina said "you must never ever at any price miss an episode of Rederiet". To her it was religion and her eyes started glowing and her body tremble from excitement knowing a new episode premiered later that day.
Sold by the tv presenter as "a new show with nooky in the cabins".
Swedes....
