I always found it funny how Mads Mikkelsen became big in Hollywood movies as a serious actor when most of his work prior (exception being the Pusher movies) had been Danish dark comedies. And 'The Green Butchers' is one of those. I remember quoting it quite a bit like 'I smoke between 15 and 20 joints a day, I wouldn't even smell it if my hair was on fire'.

    My favourite part from that one has always been the monologue about how grinding an animal down and putting it inside it's own asshole is a mythological humiliation humanity has forced upon nature.

    Ole Thestrup was such a good comedic actor for many of the same movies, his deliveries were so friggin' funny. It's a shame this clip doesn't have subtitles, but it starts out with the scene you mention.
