Alla barnen


"Alla barnen" is a type of humorous poetic form, told primarily by schoolchildren in Swedish, although it originated in Denmark. This meme was most popular in the early 1990s, as they were very macabre which at the time was highly unusual but their popularity has since diminished. The comic book writing duo Måns Gahrton and Johan Unenge has created several books based on the form, all with a title starting with "Alla barnen", the later ones in the series have discarded the more macabre jokes to be more child-friendly.
