The way the message is conveyed in this video uses a satirical method, where the speaker uses humor, irony and hyperbole to convey their criticism. This is done by conveying the city's shortcomings through exaggerated and comparative comparisons with other major cities such as New York or Paris. This approach is effective in making the audience think critically about what makes the city of Oslo such a valuable and special experience. 👏

I visited Oslo once and tried to find a place to set up my tent as it was camping trip. It got dark before we found somewhere appropriate but we could just about make out a grassy looking peninsula so we headed there and just set up the tent behind some bushes. When we awoke we discovered from some signs that we were in fact camping in the royal palace grounds. Try that literally anywhere else in the world. Gotta love them Scandis.
