It didn’t get interesting to me, until I was quickly corrected by more than one person. Is the phonetic pronunciation... what is the pronunciation for Å in English?

It's satire, and a little funny. They have the correct pronunciation for Norwegian at least, it's similar enough in Danish and Swedish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f488uJAQgmw

Similar to English "o" (more so than the Scandinavian o). It is one of the easier vowel sounds. Ø and y and u are far harder for English speakers.
