The classic: Skogsturken

This is a true original Swedish youtube classic turned meme: The Turk from the woods (losely translated from the original title “skogsturken”).

The classic phrase “vem var’e?!” (meaning ‘who was it?!’) is now a typical comment used in everyday language when wanting to know who did something, and there has been quite a few remakes of the Skogsturk.

Also, everytime a foreigner with Turkish/Arab appearance in Sweden is caught on tape doing something funny or strange, they will instantly be named something with “turk”. ie. fågelturken “the bird-Turk”
