Page "Knut Arild Hareide" Paragraph 15

During his time as Minister of the Environment, Hareide was parodied in the television comedy program Tre brødre som ikke er brødre.

The character Knut Arild Hareide, played by Harald Eia, was portrayed in several sketches as a physically weak person.

These parodies were criticized by the authors in a 2005 book about different forms of mobbing ; this stirred a minor debate in the Norwegian media.

Nonetheless, Hareide himself showed a video clip of one of the parodies when publicly announcing his stepdown from national politics at the 2007 party congress.
