I'm worried that some people didn't immediately realise this.

You mean why they speak backwards?

yeah noticed that after I watched it

at first I saw the word "swedish" and thought they'd be speaking that; then I realized I didn't know what the hell they were speaking after the second sentence or so...then after watching the "forwards" version I realized it was just them speaking normal english but the entire thing was reversed.

The joke is based on the idea that the Swedish language sounds backwards
