Kill Buljo: The Beginning
In the spring of 2007, "Kill Buljo The Movie" took Norwegian cinema by storm. 90,000 experienced the madness at the cinema. But long before the feature film was a fact, the sick gang recorded the trailers for the film which took the Internet by storm. They actually recorded several trailers; classics such as "Anne Frank's diary" and "Romeo and Julius" they also want us to look forward to. In addition to this, of course we meet the Sami boy Jompa, Karius and Baktus who have something quite different to contend with than the toothbrush, Puppi Longstocking who has contracted a bleeding disease and Bjelling who... well, you almost have to find out for yourself.

Nytt på nytt
Nytt på nytt is a Norwegian version of the British comedy programme Have I Got News for You, by the production company Hat Trick Productions. The programme is aired weekly on Friday nights. The show is a competition between two panels, where one panelist is permanent, and the other is a guest. The goal is to solve several tasks. The element of competition is largely ignored in favour of the witty remarks and the banter between panelists. The scores are generally overlooked, and have only a brief mention at the end of the show. The host is Jon Almaas, with permanent panelists Knut Nærum and Ingrid Gjessing Linhave. Linhave replaced Linn Skåber from the autumn of 2013. Since the start in the spring of 1999, it has grown to become the most popular weekly show on Norwegian television, with more than a million viewers every week.
