Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sweaty Beards is a 2010 Swedish movie which aims to answer the age-old question of what would happen if you mix Vikings with Monty Python and The Karate Kid. Oswald is a fat, cowardly Viking living in 10th century Sweden. He's regularly bullied and abused by his peers for his failings, including his considerably more badass brother Sigtrygg. One night, Oswald and Sigtryggs parents are murdered by the evil Finnish warrior, Perset Olale, so Sigtrygg and Oswald decide to seek out the help of Kolskägg, to awaken Oswalds latent powers as a Berserker. This fails spectacularly, not only causing Oswald to be outlawed, but leaving Sigtrygg halfdead as well. Oswald has no choice but to flee to Uppland, where he meets up with King Erik Widearm and the Uppland Freedom Army. Will Oswald be able to become a Berserker and reclaim his familys honor in the island deathmatch tournament?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })All of the dialogue is done in an intentionallly exaggerated "Swenglish" accent which can be a real chore to sit through, if you don't find it funny.

Anachronism Stew: Jean Guillou is a Renaissance swordsman in the 10th century. The whole movie is also framed as a filmmaker shooting a documentary and getting a little too close to the action. (Gee, were did they come up with that funny and original idea?)

Covers Always Lie: You see that cover up there? Hildegunn is a passive love interest in the movie, she never fights. Oswald doesn't wear chainmail, and Sigtrygg is never seen using that giant axe.

comment
Berserk Button: For Oswald it's indecisive women. Of course, it's a literal Berserk Button for him, causing him to go Berserk and withstand Persets poisoned knife-blows, thus defeating him. The documentary filmmaker catches a sword to the midsection from a random Viking, because he mentioned Persets name.
