Swedish Hillbilly Commercial

April 16, 2004 9:17 PM

Does anyone remember a funny U.S. commercial featuring three bumpkins ("Little Yuka" and "Big Yuka", pronounced "yooka") living in the back of beyond, where one is found to be uncool for some reason (he breaks something?) and is duly whacked for it? The voice-over was, I think, in a Swedish-inflected hillbilly accent.

Wasn't that an old MTV commercial?

No (the original "Q").

I remember it as an MTV commercial too. (described here; it's spelled "Jukka")

Response by poster: Jukka, Jukka, Jukka! Thanks, contessa and inicole - with your invaluable help, I was able to find the damn thing on the advertising agency's web site. :)

Swedish??? Hillbilly? That is a pure bred Finnish accent, thank you very much...
