The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Two women perform short comedic skits that take place in different rooms of a house. Each episode includes regular bits like giving weird new uses for everyday items and a running joke about hating a gelatin dish.

What happens

Et Dukkehjem was a sketch show shown on Norwegian NRK television channel NRK1, presented by Mari Grydeland and Gunhild Dahlberg. There were six episodes to the series and ran on Thursdays at 22:30 from 2 September 2004 until 14 October 2004 (missing one week). Most probably named after the famous play by Norwegian Henrik Ibsen, the sketches each seem to come from a different room of a house. There were weekly sketches, such as one where they would give five alternative uses for common products, such as using slices of beef to make hats/gloves/tube tops etc., and one-off sketches like 'Sex og Oslo City'. Also throughout the series they launched a hate campaign against kabaret which is a dish in which ingredients are set into a gelatine, it can be either fish in aspic (fiskekabaret), meat in aspic, or, (as used in the show) vegetables in aspic (grønnsakkabaret).
