Since Joel and Ethan are both from Minnesota, I guess they decided to take the most eccentric cliche's from the state and it's citizens, and incorporate it into a strange murder mystery (which is not based on REAL events).
Joel and Ethan have a talent for creating unique characters with bizarre qualities which adds a creativity to the film. Having lived in Minneapolis, it's safe to say the Swedish accents, goofiness and Hot Dish cliche's applied to everyone is funny, but way over the top.
Aside from the characters and their situations, I personally don't find the plot all that interesting, the movie itself seems more strange and fascinating than anything because of the atmosphere and the offbeat characters.
