Synopsis and details

Áramótaskaupið (English: The New Year's comedy, or New Year's Eve's Ridicule), is an annual Icelandic television comedy special that is broadcast on the public television network Sjónvarpið. It has been shown annually since Sjónvarpið started broadcasting in 1966. The show is an important part of Icelandic New Year's celebration for most Icelandic families. It focuses on the recent year from a satirical standpoint and shows little mercy toward its victims, especially politicians, artists, prominent businesspeople, and activists. The show's ratings on Sjónvarpið, the national broadcaster, are among the highest in the world.
