In September 2018, the show received international attention when it made fun of China and Chinese customs.[3] [4]
In October 2022, the show again received international attention when it made fun of Turkish president Recep Erdoğan.[5] The Turkish foreign ministry summoned Sweden's ambassador to Turkey, to provide a complaint about the show's jokes about the president.[6] Sweden had just before applied for NATO membership as protection against a possible invasion by Russia, membership applications must be approved by all members, something Turkey has hesitated on.
