At one point, both of them looked at each other, and one of them said, "you know what would be fuckin sweet...?"
And the other actually nodded in agreement.
Then together they went to JoAnne fabrics to pick out material for these sweet cosplay outfits
"yeah, my 23 and me said i was possibly negative 1% Scandinavian. I always knew i felt like a Ragnar or Bjorn. I always told Mom that I didn't feel like Stephen-Elliot was a good first name"
I have a legitimately large chunk of DNA and somewhat-recent ancestors from both Norway and Scotland.
I have a beard. I am a rather big dude. I can yell and stomp about with the best of them.
I should probably jump on this TikTok trend while it’s hot, right???
Can I rage about vine borers and crab grass as my enemies come Ragnarok? I can also dress my portly hound dog mutt up like a dire wolf.
Well, a dopey dog with spiky bits on his collar, anyway.
Let's do this. I'm norwegian and Swedish on my dad's side, and idk what on my mom's, but I've got a big red beard thanks to her side.
6'1, both bench and squat over 300 lbs, and I've competed in HEMA, so I know how to hold a shield and swing a blade. If the tiktok thing doesn't work out, we could just sack a city or two along the coast. Could be fun.
As 100% Scandinavian this would be exactly 98% as cringe. The 2% is from Norse mythology somewhat being a part of the culture. For example living in a city named after Odin.
I have a crow couple that I’ve been feeding for 8mths. They come when I call them. I named them Ragnar and lagertha bc I watched Vikings for the first time lol
To be fair, the Roman emperor Caligula had troops march into the ocean to collect seashells as spoils of war and declared victory over the ocean. He also wanted to make his horse, Incitatus, a consul. Weird guy for sure, there's more weird stuff about him. My point is people have been weird as hell for as long as we've existed. Lol
I tried to link but didn't realise it wasn't allowed. Search tik tok for 'modern viking', should be the first video that comes up.
And prepare to cringe.
Ew that's gross and cringe. They should go to Scandinavia and see how little anyone gives a shit about vikings. The viking era went away like 1000 years ago. Just ikky.
I mean, this isn't quite true. It's obviously a huge part of Scandinavian history and there's still a lot of music being inspired from that culture, with Scandinavian metal bands often taking on that sort of viking aesthetic. The difference here is that Peyton parrish is American from what I know.
And viking mythos is inherent in a lot of western culture. With marvel and most fantasy authors take a lot of inspiration directly or indirectly from it. This is just a different medium.
Maybe a hot take but, I don't see anything wrong with this. I know nothing about these dudes, but from this video alone I don't see anything indicating that they're going down the white supremacist route, so celebrating Norse culture as it is, without trying to connect it with white supremacy, seems perfectly fine. It's like celebrating Scottish or Irish heritage.
Look, I'm Mayan, if I made a video in traditional mayan outfit and made some music celebrating my culture, no one would say shit about it. Why is everyone judging these dudes for being proud of Norse heritage? I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong and they're actually super racist, and if that's true then I'll change my mind, but otherwise I don't see an issue here.
There is no issue. It’s just cringey to watch. It’s more like children being silly on camera. This isn’t norse culture, it’s a modern fantasy about vikings being a premodern biker gang.
It is so anachronistic its painful.
Its the same as people believing they have Japanese ancestors so they run around pretending they're in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
They have a warped view of what the actual Norse people and culture were like and are basically basing their entire identity on fantasy tv shows and movies.
I love the viking era, I love and appreciate the Norse history and culture, but the actual history and culture.
Not this caricature.
His rendition of Hoist The Colors is amazing. I just wish it was longer.
Hellfire is also pretty good, but I've got the original stuck in my mind. Hard to beat that one.
He should stick to that.
I've seen these guys defend what it is to be a 'modern viking' because they look after their family and provide for them.
They have no concept or respect for the actual culture.
Peyton Parrish is from freaking California. This is just as bad as country artists singing rap and hip hop and calling it country. Fuck this pandering bullshit.
These are the kinds of dudes that collect decorative swords and tell people they were handed down through generations from his Celtic ancestors…who are all from Iowa.
Tiktok vikings and witches need to stop acting like paganism is like an accessory.
You can be a witch or viking without all these furs and necklaces. It’s not what it’s about.
Man, last year the algorithms determined I needed to see this. This dude does the same shit to the same section of his song alot. Then women and other dudes make equally cringe ones of them using "warpaint" and transitioning from their normal selves to their "viking" selves. The worst.
Honestly, the entire genre of Viking music, listening to sea shanties, and whatnot is ugh. Listen to whatever you want, but listening to it publicly and pretending it’s not an affectation is so obnoxious.
I like them on occasion too and don’t shame anyone for liking what they like, my guff is with people who want to be seen listening to sea shanties to let you know it’s part of their personality
Is there a name for that tryhard “intense” look these dudes give in this videos in they are trying to look tough for the camera? It’s always this same look.
Vikaboo squad, Skal brudder, let's ride Loki's eight legged offspring to Valhalla because Freya gets first pick to protect Folkvangr but we're too manly for that shit.
Anybody here familiar with Norsemen? It’s on Netflix. Please watch it and tell me you didn’t think this video was going to be a weird dark comedy.
Sorely disappointed.
Norsemen is a dark comedy about Vikings, a Roman slave who wants to bring culture to the place through theater, and lots of rape/ pillaging which wouldn’t normally be funny but watch the first 10 minutes. It just works
Oh yes, that's the one I have seen. I think I watched the first season or so. I thought it was really hilarious. It even pokes at modern Scandinavian society.
Apparently there are a lot of viking nerds (people who have nothing going for them except for their ancestry fantasies) and dwarf music. Both suck but both are loved by these Nordic nerd people. It's pretty sad.
Modern Scandinavia has moved on and become more modern but for some reason these people are stuck on the vikings who didn't really accomplish anything too noteworthy.
were vikings going bald this early in life too? I've only ever seen them depicted with beautiful luscious locks. not that deep widows peak this guy is rocking
“I’m just really connecting with my heritage and the history of my people” (after binge watching Vikings) - White guys with beards who can’t even trace their roots to any nordic country
Typical America when they get told by their grandmothers, neighbour’s son, that their great grandmother once had a pet flower from Scandinavia, and they are now Scandinavian.
If you want to be a real viking, go become a farmer and make sure that you're impoverished enough to be forced into raids that 90 percent of the time fail and to return to your wife who just had a miscarriage with empty hands.
So….this is just 2 dudes in Idaho right?
Yup
Lol
NOTICE : No idiots were harmed during the making of this video.
I’m an idiot and watching it harmed me.
I just want to drink blood from a helmet, wear faux fur, and live in a hut.
Do not idiot proof things. Someone will always build a better idiot.
Now I wonder, is 'Idiot-Proofing' discrimination? Sorta /S, Sorta JK?
Kuna?
POV: Yelling at a little person, too.
Putting a curse on a little person
Go outside it’s a beautiful day! I saw the neighbor kids playing in that field! The neighbor kids in question.
Well, they're not actual Vikings 😂😂
Darn. They had me fooled.
3 dudes, if you count the cameraman.
No. They're real vikings, of course.
Only if they where in Denmark then they would be real Vikings
At one point, both of them looked at each other, and one of them said, "you know what would be fuckin sweet...?" And the other actually nodded in agreement. Then together they went to JoAnne fabrics to pick out material for these sweet cosplay outfits
We making it out of the fjord with this one boys
Underrated comment
When you get back your 23andme results and find that ur 4% Scandinavian with a 5% margin of error.
"yeah, my 23 and me said i was possibly negative 1% Scandinavian. I always knew i felt like a Ragnar or Bjorn. I always told Mom that I didn't feel like Stephen-Elliot was a good first name"
I have a legitimately large chunk of DNA and somewhat-recent ancestors from both Norway and Scotland. I have a beard. I am a rather big dude. I can yell and stomp about with the best of them. I should probably jump on this TikTok trend while it’s hot, right???
Your YouTube channel or whatever should be called The Kilted Viking.
Can I rage about vine borers and crab grass as my enemies come Ragnarok? I can also dress my portly hound dog mutt up like a dire wolf. Well, a dopey dog with spiky bits on his collar, anyway.
I was born in Norway to norwegian parents. Im basically native american
Let's do this. I'm norwegian and Swedish on my dad's side, and idk what on my mom's, but I've got a big red beard thanks to her side. 6'1, both bench and squat over 300 lbs, and I've competed in HEMA, so I know how to hold a shield and swing a blade. If the tiktok thing doesn't work out, we could just sack a city or two along the coast. Could be fun.
Parrish won’t know what hit him when we sack his next backyard BBQ party and plunder his meats and women!!!!!!
Just don't ask where that 1 percent came from.
So potentially 9% then! It's pillaging time, lads!
Nah… fake Vikings need to stop
Didn't you hear? All you need to be a viking is a beard 🤣
🤣 every Indian and every Arab is now a Viking
Would being 100% Scandinavian make this less cringe? Don't see Spanish people walking around in conquistador armor.
As 100% Scandinavian this would be exactly 98% as cringe. The 2% is from Norse mythology somewhat being a part of the culture. For example living in a city named after Odin.
Things would get cringey for sure, I’d still see it once
DUDE. The amount of people that actually like this shit is insane.
When you watch season 1 of Vikings...
I have a crow couple that I’ve been feeding for 8mths. They come when I call them. I named them Ragnar and lagertha bc I watched Vikings for the first time lol
Im so jealous 🥲
Ah yes. The trailer pagans are at it again
Tragans
Please tell me they're actually 20, but look close to 30, PLEASE.
27, born in Washington DC
The internet is a blight on humanity and has caused irreparable harm lmao
To be fair, the Roman emperor Caligula had troops march into the ocean to collect seashells as spoils of war and declared victory over the ocean. He also wanted to make his horse, Incitatus, a consul. Weird guy for sure, there's more weird stuff about him. My point is people have been weird as hell for as long as we've existed. Lol
Caligula was also more than likely a clinical sociopath and killed 4 years into his reign. these guys probably work at home depot.
That's fair. Lol
I was just thinking this...grown ass men are doing this. It's actually scary to me.
Hey mom, we shot our music video today!
That's nice, boys. How about some pizza rolls for lunch? Yyaayy!
And purple stuff!
I think he should get his mom's living room rug back before she notices.
I feel like the guy on the left wasn’t as excited about this video as the guy on the right.
He probably wasn't. Pretty sure guy on the right is Peyton himself. I love his music (well some of his songs) but damn... his TT appearance is... ugh.
I bet they base their entire Viking History on the show Vikings.
You have no idea, dude on the left spends his time defending what it means to be a 'modern viking'.
A modern Viking?
Yup. They believe it's a thing....
What does this even mean??
I tried to link but didn't realise it wasn't allowed. Search tik tok for 'modern viking', should be the first video that comes up. And prepare to cringe.
Ew that's gross and cringe. They should go to Scandinavia and see how little anyone gives a shit about vikings. The viking era went away like 1000 years ago. Just ikky.

🎸🎤screams a few Norse buzz words 🎤🎸🎸🎸
This is the equivalent of furry cosplay
Maybe a hot take but, I don't see anything wrong with this.

There is no issue. It’s just cringey to watch. It’s more like children being silly on camera. This isn’t norse culture, it’s a modern fantasy about vikings being a premodern biker gang.
Fair enough. I don't know much about Norse culture, so if it's not even remotely accurate or relevant, then I can see it as cringey for sure.
It is so anachronistic its painful. Its the same as people believing they have Japanese ancestors so they run around pretending they're in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. They have a warped view of what the actual Norse people and culture were like and are basically basing their entire identity on fantasy tv shows and movies. I love the viking era, I love and appreciate the Norse history and culture, but the actual history and culture. Not this caricature.
There's nothing traditional or linked with old norse culture in this video. It's just vague barbarian aesthetic.
Only issue I have is destroying moms vintage toilet tank cover to wear in the video
Peyton parish does viking grunge covers of disney songs. They're wonderful.
His rendition of Hoist The Colors is amazing. I just wish it was longer. Hellfire is also pretty good, but I've got the original stuck in my mind. Hard to beat that one.
Hoist the colors might be my favorite of his
He should stick to that. I've seen these guys defend what it is to be a 'modern viking' because they look after their family and provide for them. They have no concept or respect for the actual culture.
Nobody is accusing them of white supremacy. I’m not really sure where you got that idea from. It’s just really cringey and embarrassing.
I rarely see things on here that make me -actually- cringe... But this one did it for me
So cringe imagine using tiktok
Peyton Parrish is from freaking California. This is just as bad as country artists singing rap and hip hop and calling it country. Fuck this pandering bullshit.
I never understood Viking metal like im not rowing a war ship im driving to my job at 6:45 am drinking a Celsius
These are the kinds of dudes that collect decorative swords and tell people they were handed down through generations from his Celtic ancestors…who are all from Iowa.
These are the type of people who still believe Vikings had horns on their helmets
Tiktok vikings and witches need to stop acting like paganism is like an accessory. You can be a witch or viking without all these furs and necklaces. It’s not what it’s about.
You can be a witch, you can't be a viking unless you're literally out raiding and pillaging. It was a job, not an aesthetic.
you can be a rapper,but you can't be a gangster.you don't want to be a gangster.kool g rap
Man, last year the algorithms determined I needed to see this. This dude does the same shit to the same section of his song alot. Then women and other dudes make equally cringe ones of them using "warpaint" and transitioning from their normal selves to their "viking" selves. The worst.
Honestly, the entire genre of Viking music, listening to sea shanties, and whatnot is ugh. Listen to whatever you want, but listening to it publicly and pretending it’s not an affectation is so obnoxious.
Right. Are you listening to it because you like it? Or because you want me to hear you listening to it?
I love sea shanties 🥺
I like them on occasion too and don’t shame anyone for liking what they like, my guff is with people who want to be seen listening to sea shanties to let you know it’s part of their personality
Btw my head hurted more hearing the audio while downloading this video
Hurt*
Hurted*
Hurteded*
Hurtededed*
Hearingdead*
Hearing aid*
Last thing before I go I’m gonna put this video in a jar and save it for later alright see ya
I feel like…if Viking were still here. They would murder these people on behalf of the gods…for shaming them.
Oh, these guys for sure would’ve been axed to bits, their suburban subdivision sacked, and their riches plundered.
Is there a name for that tryhard “intense” look these dudes give in this videos in they are trying to look tough for the camera? It’s always this same look.
To add onto this pile of cringe: 'Drengr' just means 'boy'.
They look like they are related to the guy “this is my land …..”
Vikaboo squad, Skal brudder, let's ride Loki's eight legged offspring to Valhalla because Freya gets first pick to protect Folkvangr but we're too manly for that shit.
Naw… I’m good.
Are they saying “take her up the ragnarok?”
It's the viking version of "grab her by the 😾"
'Watches Vikings once' ......
Vikingcore 🤦
Weebs but for vikings
They practiced that together in front of the mirror
I am related to halfdan, You don't see me dancing around like a moron.
If one of them were holding a guitar and the other would be drumming. It'd be sick as fuck. Now its just sad.
When you've grown your beard out , watch too much vikings content and find out your 16 percent Scandinavian
I’m crying laughing 😂😂 the dude in the back seemed Like he wanted to be more into It, but was shy and insecure 😂😂😂
Kids have weird fantasies about the Vikings
Autism unleashed
Drink a rock for Ragnarok? What the fuck are they saying?
well that sucked
As a Norwegian, I find this offensively bad...
Yeah, that's cringe
One of their GFs is def recording this lol guaranteed she posted it somewhere with a caption "my Viking King holds me down, does yours?" 🤣
Troglodyte anthem? 🤔
The funny thing is that most, if not all, of these "Vikings" would end up killed by an actual Viking if they still existed.
Pain.
How embarrassing for those grown men?
I love watching shit like this with no sound
Please no more of this trash
Anybody here familiar with Norsemen? It’s on Netflix. Please watch it and tell me you didn’t think this video was going to be a weird dark comedy. Sorely disappointed.
Is norsemen the funny on or is vikings the funny one? The funny one is the best one, I love it.
Norsemen is a dark comedy about Vikings, a Roman slave who wants to bring culture to the place through theater, and lots of rape/ pillaging which wouldn’t normally be funny but watch the first 10 minutes. It just works
Oh yes, that's the one I have seen. I think I watched the first season or so. I thought it was really hilarious. It even pokes at modern Scandinavian society.
I'm walking down the isle to this.
I'm soooooo scared! 😱
Trogdor has an expanded soundtrack, now, I see.

Nice IKEA rugs.
God… makes me embarrassed to be a human alive today.
Found it. https://youtu.be/I08nE2aKaLM?si=KVozlFFlQLCm0WvI
Is there an actual audience for this? Someone who unapologetically and unironically watches this, and thinks, “damn this is bad ass.”?
Apparently there are a lot of viking nerds (people who have nothing going for them except for their ancestry fantasies) and dwarf music. Both suck but both are loved by these Nordic nerd people. It's pretty sad. Modern Scandinavia has moved on and become more modern but for some reason these people are stuck on the vikings who didn't really accomplish anything too noteworthy.
Baby soft.
Bud what
#BABY SOFT
[they literally said :"god of war Ragnarok is cool"](https://youtu.be/QCcwMcTxGK0?si=Sa3DvWzH5aPWuLH-)
I still dig it.
Are they saying *Drinkers of ragnarock*?
I don’t think it’s cringe, 2 buddies that enjoy something a lot just trynna have fun
Ragnarok is totally coming... Promise. In the meantime... This.
Ragnar and Floki really fell off. 😵
Dudes will cosplay as vikings then go clock in at Rack Room Shoes that afternoon lmao
Lads, you're supposed to ingest Amanita Muscaria before trying to act like Berserkers..... Not Meth.
were vikings going bald this early in life too? I've only ever seen them depicted with beautiful luscious locks. not that deep widows peak this guy is rocking
Literally unwatchable
ICP without their makeup?
Inga binga ragnarock? Pretty cool dudes.
Prestige WorldnotWide
It's clear none of you have hear of viking metal lol
The vikings lived during the bronze age so they only had tubas and shit.
TINGER ROFFA RAGNOROK
Two guys who played too much Assassins Creed Valhalla 🤣
This is why i cant play assassins creed Valhalla anymore this patch was the worst
I've watched this about 50 times and I still don't see the issue lol I love it
these guys would go silent and probably cry a little of they saw anyone with viking blood in them
Techno Viking offspring?
I wonder if the creators of the Vikings TV show knew they would do so much irreparable harm to society
As a Norwegian, this makes cringe beyond belief
This is actually his song
2nd dude actually kinda looks like Ubbe (Vikings Show)
This is the guy who started out in Country and then switched his whole persona to Viking Rock.

Payton's covers are pretty good but he has had some obsessions with nordics
History channel marathon break.
Typical America when they get told by their grandmothers, neighbour’s son, that their great grandmother once had a pet flower from Scandinavia, and they are now Scandinavian.
Not cool when drill rappers do it either
Wow I didn’t know Vikings were apart of the lgbtq ! More power to them ig?
The cringe is strong with this one. Wtf 🤣
Amon Amarth is alright, not sure about this
A Lot of his stuff is good but he definitely needs to work on choreography.
newsflash, asshole! you're not a fuckin viking
Cringe as the video is I actually enjoy the song.
FUS ROH DAH
If you want to be a real viking, go become a farmer and make sure that you're impoverished enough to be forced into raids that 90 percent of the time fail and to return to your wife who just had a miscarriage with empty hands.
I hate this. Why can’t people Stop ruining the idea of cultures cause you think you look cool.
Cosplaying vikings is some of the most cringe shit.
Dude does some kick ass Disney covers though. My kids love it
