The joke works better with other countries. Swedes usually speak English exceptionally well.

At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I think the word "titta" being used in this context plays a significant role in making this as funny as it is. It just wouldn't be as funny if it was, say, Spanish ("mira") or French ("regarde").

I don't think so. I originally heard it with Spanish being used.

Okay then. I think "titta" makes it a lot funnier than "mira" would have been, regardless of the likelihood of any of this actually happening.
