From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hipphipp! is a Swedish comedy sketch show that ran for two seasons on SVT - First in 2001 and then in 2003. It also spawned a live-show and a four-part Christmas special. A film about Morgan Pålsson and Robert Flycht had it's premiere in late February 2008.

The show was created by and primarily stars the duo of Anders Jansson and Johan Wester. Many characters and concepts evolved from stage shows that the pair performed during the 1990s.
