** In Felix Recenserar, the phrase "it starts with a cigarette, right", which makes fun of movies that utilize ScareEmStraight. It's often accompanied with a purple, contrasted filter and dramatic music, and may or may not be followed up with the outlandish consequences of smoking the said cigarette.

** The word "skvättika" (which is a pun on "a splash of spirit vinegar") shows up a lot in Basses Rätt i Skafferiet.
** There are also many mentions of "the concentrated/copyrighted BRIS taste", a taste so fundamentally disgusting that it becomes a BrownNote prompting reactions like spitting or gagging.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic: Played for laughs in the review for The Grief: Felix comes up with a theory that Norah is Sarah's alter ego, and keeps bringing up evidence for it and praising Danne for how deep the movie is, but then he remembers that he's reviewing a Daniel Lehmussaahri film.

Couldn't Danne just thought a little more when writing the script, and not made a cliche fucking slasher film? Couldn't he have thought a step further, and actually made something that was unique in any sense of the word?

* ArtifactTitle: According to their NärCon Sommar 2015 Q&A, their channel name is one. The name was basically meant to evoke Creator/MontyPython while having a silly twist to it, as "fjant" is a Swedish term for a silly person. However, their works have very little to do with Monty Python nowadays. Felix and Basse remember thinking the name was bad and considering changing it, but then realized the Felix Recenserar episode on ''The Ketchup Effect'' was absolutely blowing up and that their channel name had become their brand name, and that they were stuck with it, like it or not. That being said, they couldn't come up with any better name ideas for their channel when they were considering changing it.

** A failed example of the same thing also happens in the very first episode of Felix Recenserar, where this screen appears 13 minutes and 41 seconds into the video. According to Felix, this is because the screen was added before the intro to the video, and they didn't bother with moving the screen to its correct place in the video.

Their most popular project is called Felix Recenserar, which is a VideoReviewShow focusing (almost) solely on Swedish movies and foreign movies dubbed to Swedish. They also make Basses Rätt i Skafferiet (called Basse Cooks Stuff in the English subtitles for the earlier episodes), which pokes fun of cooking shows by having the premise be to cook something disgusting, then have people try to eat it.

Some of their minor projects include Mystikhörnan (called The Mystery Show in the English subtitles for earlier episodes), which is one of their few works to have a scripted plot ([[RandomEventsPlot though not a very comprehensive one]]) poking fun at conspiracy theories, Midnatts-Let's Play, which is best described as an unscripted vlog with LetsPlay elements, Felix Recenspelar, which is similar to Felix Recenserar but focuses on video games that aren't necessarily Swedish. They also do vlogs from time to time.

-->How Felix opens most episodes of Felix Recenserar

Are you interested in watching a guy with glasses scream about Swedish movies, or another guy cooking horribly disgusting food, then serving it to his friends, all accompanied with broad accents and a truckload of awful puns? Then you've come to just the right place.

Monte Fjanton is a Swedish {{Website/Youtube}} channel with a main focus on comedy that has covered a lot of different projects through the years, but is always recognized through a large amount of snark, [[TakeThat Take Thats]], running gags, puns and [[ComicalOverreacting comedic overreactions]].

Their most popular project is called Felix Recenserar, which is a VideoReviewShow focusing (almost) solely on Swedish movies and foreign movies dubbed to Swedish. They also make Basses Rätt i Skafferiet (called Basse Cooks Stuff in the English subtitles for the earlier episodes), which pokes fun of cooking shows by having the premise be to cook something disgusting, then have people try to eat it.

Some of their minor projects include Mystikhörnan (called The Mystery Show in the English subtitles for earlier episodes), which is one of their few works to have a scripted plot ([[RandomEventsPlot though not a very comprehensive one]]) poking fun at conspiracy theories, Midnatts-Let's Play, which is best described as an unscripted vlog with LetsPlay elements, Felix Recenspelar, which is similar to Felix Recenserar but focuses on video games that aren't necessarily Swedish. They also do vlogs from time to time.

Their Youtube channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MonteFjanton here]].

----
!!Their videos provide examples of:

* {{Adorkable}}:
** Any member could potentially be this in unscripted videos, but an honorable mention for this goes to Felix. He's a glasses-clad GentleGiant who collects tacky shirts and can talk about movies for hours on end, what's not to love?
** A scripted example would be Kenneth Hyvel from Mystikhörnan. He's somewhat naive, but he's very passionate about conspiracies and extremely loyal towards Morgan.
* ArtifactTitle: According to their NärCon Sommar 2015 Q&A, their channel name is one. The name was basically meant to evoke Creator/MontyPython while having a silly twist to it, as "fjant" is a Swedish term for a silly person.

That being said, they couldn't come up with any better name ideas for their channel when they were considering changing it.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Morgan Månstråle]].
* BerserkButton:
** Felix absolutely loathes Swedish actor Helena Bergström and the fact that she has a successful career. He has stated multiple times that he thinks she's the worst Swedish actor of all time, and that he believes the only reason she keeps getting new jobs is due to nepotism through her husband Colin Nutley, or as Felix himself puts it, "she fucks the director".
** Felix has also expressed dislike for numerous of the films he's reviewed, the reboot of the Sune films, the Åsa-Nisse franchise and the Barbie films in particular.
** Being requested to review things that don't fit his criteria is also a sore spot for him. For a film to be considered being reviewed for Felix Recenserar, it has to be Swedish (or dubbed to Swedish), [[CaptainObvious it has to be a film]] and it has to be bad.

* CausticCritic: Felix' bread and butter.
* CatchPhrase: In Mystikhörnan, Morgan's (and to some extent, Kenneth's) is "shut up, Leffe!".
* ComicalOverreacting: Very common, especially in Felix Recenserar and Mystikhörnan.
* CouchGag: Nearly every episode of Felix Recenserar is ended with Felix summing up how he feels about the movie, then pointing out a FunnyBackgroundEvent and giving the movie a 10/10 solely because of it.
* CreatorInJoke: Some of the running gags are this, most notably the use of the word "gräta" (which is a corruption of gråta, the Swedish word for cry). It originally came from a friend of the members, and they ended up using it as well, eventually turning it into a running gag.
* CriticalResearchFailure:
** Morgan Månstråle's theories have a lot of holes in them. [[BerserkButton He doesn't like having them pointed out]].
** Even though Felix' videos are usually very well researched, he sometimes slips up. It usually happens in reviews of movies that are adaptations and Felix did not [[ReadTheFreakingManual Read The Freaking Source Material]].

*** In some early episodes of Felix Recenserar, he has a hard time identifying the slang words for police used in some of the movies he's reviewing.
* DeadpanSnarker: Felix, as well as Leffe in Mystikhörnan.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** The two first episodes of Felix Recenserar were recorded in 2010, when the series' proper debut was one year later, and it shows. The first episode has Basse doing some of the commentary on screen instead of Felix, which hasn't happened since. The second episode is recorded at a graveyard, and covers a foreign movie that hasn't been dubbed to Swedish, that being Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives. It's also the shortest episode of Felix Recenserar to date.
** The first season of Mystikhörnan and some early episodes of Basses Rätt i Skafferiet have English subtitles through closed captioning.
* ExtremeOmnivore: The taste testers from Basses Rätt i Skafferiet could apply for Type 1. They are very frequently shown eating all kinds of bizarre and squicky combinations of ingredients, [[NauseaFuel though they can't always keep it down for very long]].
-->'''Felix:''' Yeah, it was tough as hell to get it down, but I'm hungry too. So like, my body's just happy that it got some food.
* FoodPorn: Hilariously subverted in Basse's Rätt i Skafferiet. A lot of the food is shown in a way that invokes the feel of FoodPorn, but since [[LethalChef Basse]] cooked the food, it doesn't have that effect.
* FreezeFrameBonus: In the review for Wabuu, exactly 13 minutes and 37 seconds into the video, [[LeetLingo a screen saying 13:37]] is briefly shown.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Felix loves these, to the point of him pointing them out has become a CouchGag in Felix Recenserar.
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:The ending for Season 2 of Mystikhörnan qualifies as this.]]
* HilariousInHindsight: Starting with 2014, Felix stopped doing reviews of movies during December. His reasoning is that there are very few Swedish Christmas movies worth talking about, and he doesn't want that stop him from doing Christmas specials: instead, he reviews a {{Julekalender}} during Christmas.

* HurricaneOfPuns: Happens extremely often, though mainly in Basses Rätt i Skafferiet.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Most of the theories that appear in Mystikhörnan run on this.
* LamePunReaction: As a rule of thumb, if a video doesn't have a HurricaneOfPuns, it has this instead.
* LargeHam: Basse in Basses Rätt i Skafferiet, as well as most of the cast of Mystikhörnan.
* LethalChef: Basse.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor:
** The Felix we see in Felix Recenserar can often lash out and be really violent, but the real Felix is gentle, if somewhat snarky. This becomes apparent when comparing Felix as he's seen in unscripted videos such as vlogs and Midnatts-Let's Play to the Felix from Felix Recenserar.
** Basse is similarily shown to be sadistic in Basses Rätt i Skafferiet, while he's actually anything but.
* NamesTheSame:
** Invoked in Felix Recenserar whenever the movie being reviewed has a character named Felix. Usually, it has Felix reacting to the character being talked to or about as if he were actually the character.
** In the review for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcYM-fQ_hgg Hata Göteborg]], this happens to Basse as well, once it turns out there's a dog in the movie named Basse.
-->'''Character from the film:''' Why haven't you been taking care of little Basse? Since little Basse has gone and pissed on the carpet?
-->'''Felix:''' What the fuck, was that what you did in the movie, Basse? Played the role of a dog and peed on a carpet?
-->'''Basse:''' Uh, that was a rough part of my life, you know. I was 13, I couldn't afford a new computer! [[OnlyInItForTheMoney I did it for the money]]!
* NauseaFuel: Basses Rätt i Skafferiet takes this trope and [[UpToEleven runs a marathon with it]].
* NoExportForYou: Basse has stated in the NärCon 2015 Q&A that they won't do English subtitles for their more recent works simply because it would be too time consuming and take away precious time that could be used to make more content.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Basse's actual name is Sebastian, but he's only referred to as such during credits.
* OldShame: The members feel like a lot of their older projects fall into this. They often fall victim to SelfDeprecation because of this.
-->'''Felix:''' We're 30 seconds in, dear viewers. DO YOU GET WHY NONE OF OUR OLD FILMS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET NOW?
* PunBasedTitle: Basses Rätt i Skafferiet is one: it's a spoof on the name of the Swedish children's rights organization Barnens Rätt i Samhället, and they both have the same exact acronym: BRIS.
* RunningGag: A ''lot''. Examples include:
** In Felix Recenserar, saying that the movie ends before it actually does, then cutting to the credits with [[Film/Scarface1983 Push it to the Limit]] playing in the background.
** Felix' love for Swedish celebrity Harald Treutiger is brought up often.
** Quite a lot of running gags that appear in Felix Recenserar are [[CallBack Call Backs]] to previous episodes.
** [[Creator/DingoPictures Komo's death scene]] appears very frequently in Felix Recenserar, to the point that it was one of the main running gags before Felix had actually seen the movie in the first place.
** In Basses Rätt i Skafferiet, mustard powder almost always finds it way into the recipe.
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Felix argues that this is the reason Film/ShowMeLove was the winner of a poll deciding on what movie he should review during December 2013 despite it, in his opinion, being a pretty good movie. He says that it created the mold for how Swedish YA fiction looked like during the TurnOfTheMillennium, leading to this trope happening to people exposed to YA fiction made during this time period.
* SelfDeprecation: Appears frequently, especially in Felix Recenserar.
** The members are from Scania, a part of Sweden that's easily described as the Swedish equivalent to Texas. Naturally, this is brought up time to time, through joking around with stereotypes about Scanian people and/or exaggerating their Scanian accents.
** They also bring up [[OldShame Old Shames]] in this manner.
-->'''Felix:''' "Wow" is a word that you really need to deliver well when you say it. I'm glad I've never had this problem!
-->'''Felix from an early episode of Felix Recenserar:''' [[DullSurprise Waooooow!]]
-->'''Felix:''' Or wait, nevermind.
* ShownTheirWork: When it wants to, Felix Recenserar can actually be very educational. Most episodes will have Felix explaining the backstory for the film, and depending on the movie at hand, the backstory can have very interesting tidbits about Swedish culture and film history. Given you know the language, Felix Recenserar is probably the best resource on Swedish culture a foreigner could ever ask for.
* SoBadItsGood: Felix argues that Daniel Lehmussaari's films, Film/EvilEd, and Hata Göteborg all fall under this.
* SoundtrackDissonance:
** The soundtrack for Tahkorerna IV is mostly beach party remixes, with the climax having [[spoiler:It's Raining Men]] playing in the background in the original version.
** In Maffix, an OldShame of Felix' that has been mentioned and briefly shown but never properly reviewed, Las Ketchup is playing during an action scene.
* TakeThat:
** Mystikhörnan as a whole is one giant Take That towards conspiracy theorists.
** In some recent episodes of Felix Recenserar, Felix is shown with a mug saying "Helena Bergström's tears".
** The Basses Rätt i Skafferiet episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XALmduAUoigwhere Basse makes ice cream]] has this gem:
-->'''Johan:''' If the popsicle is Bert Karlsson, then the fish ice cream is Satan himself.
-->'''Macke:''' But they're the same person!
-->'''Everyone in unison:''' Oooooooh!
* TakeThatAudience:
** In every episode of Mystikhörnan featuring Morgan's Frågelåda, at least one of the questions brought up is when the next episode of Felix Recenserar will be released. Morgan reacts negatively to seeing this question and will often accuse Leffe of putting in nonsense questions.
** The sketches in the Felix Recenserar episode on {{Film/Beck}} are this to viewers who are fans of the movies Felix reviews and/or have ridiculously high expectations on Felix Recenserar.
* ToiletHumor: Though not often, it does occasionally happen in Basses Rätt i Skafferiet.
-->'''Basse:''' We have now recreated the stomach contents of the average Swede the day after Christmas. Though it's more gooey, so you have to imagine it's the average Swede, but with diarrhea.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Basse is 24 years old, but looks more like he's in his thirties. The fact that he acts like a middle aged cooking show host in Basses Rätt i Skafferiet doesn't help matters.
