This is very accurate. My German gran visited me when I moved into my first apartment. She asked me how my neighbors were doing. I had just moved in that day and hadn’t even unpacked so I told her I had no idea. She went to Costco to get cookies for the neighbors and then dragged me to each neighbor for a proper greeting. Then proceeded to question everything about my new apartment.
It's nice when people do that. You know who moved in, so it prevents rumors (the majority of them anyway). And it sets a positive mood, so when you need help finding the main switch or whatever, the neighbours will be more likely to help you.
My Scottish mum thought it was a sin not to bring biscuits or cake to visit people and yes,she wanted me to know all my neighbours too, however not to speak overly much about myself, listen yes, be friendly but keep your own counsel...you cannot win! But I miss her every day.
Brilliant! My mom is Swiss, but it’s the same thing. Rapidfire, criticism and judgments coming from a place of caring, but still a pain in the ass to be around.😂❤

I’m not German but I was born in and lived in Germany for many years (Scottish army brat). A few months after my mum had me, she was walking around the neighbourhood with me in my stroller and one of the old lady neighbours came up to chat. She was perfectly nice and congratulated my mum etc. and _right before she left_ she said “ja, you know, I think it’s _wonderful_ that mothers these days don’t feel they are required to lose the baby weight so fast. In my day, I was back to my normal weight within weeks and that was normal. It is good to see you are taking your time. Ja, you are enjoying all those frikadellen!” Apparently, the week before, she had run into my dad at the butcher and he was buying frikadellen. She must have seen them 😂😭 Unsolicited backhand compliments are the German way 😝

This video brought up some great memories!!! When I was young I worked as a housekeeper for 2 ladies in the same Condo complex. 1 German lady, tall, extremely thin, rigid and homely. Always in muted colors, and always in a skirt. Her clothing matched the fabric and decor of her house. Old-world European. Everything in place. No clutter and no television. Honestly, nothing to do but dust. Occasionally would squeeze out a smile. Divorced. 1 Jewish lady, short, little plump, kinda disheveled hair, clothes, and entire household in a hot mess. Fond of blues and white. A few forced smiles with a fixed look of confusion or worry. Married. Husband sat in the chair reading the newspaper the entire time, ignoring her rants. I'll never forget either of them. 😊 The German lady would slip me a little extra or tell me to leave early with same pay. As I worked, I still remember her constant rambling to herself, and the clomping sound of her shoes. I like listening to her speak in German when she talked on the phone. The over all vibe was always dark and sullen. The Jewish lady would look up at the clock before I left out the door and would actually take money off me. 😅 This is not a story tale, this is the truth. I remember her taking back, LITERALLY taking back, from the palm of my hand, some change. I left at 11:30 AM and I was done 5 min early. 😅 Over all vibe was light with a splash of chaos. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum!!!

We moved our 4 bedroom house from one state to another when I was small and when I woke up the following morning the kitchen was completely moved in and she had circles under her eyes, but we all had breakfast together that morning as if we'd lived there a month!

My mother died in 1985 just as I turned 15. Sometimes I think I can’t remember her but I love how you bring her back to life! Mostly with your swimming never getting your hair wet 😂 Thank you ❤🥰❤️
😂😂😂! Actually I grew up in Switzerland but one thing I noticed and I took for granted is the interaction with all the neighbors. Everyone talks to each other and if anyone for example is sick or needs help all most neighbors know and just show up at your door with healthy homemade food or they at least genuinely ask how you doing!
She is really growing on me. At first I thought the editing was choppy - and it is - but deliberately and brilliantly so. Why show her finishing a sentence when we know very well what’s coming? Makes it all the funnier. I’ve seen 3 or 4 of these videos and they just get better and better. Kudos!
Oh, Laura, thank you so much for these doses of humour! I hope your Mom knows what good work her opinions are doing in the world. Well, my world anyway!❤
Wow, so you're the fkng worst too..? Tell me, how can yall have so little self-awareness but maintain that stick up ur äṣṣ so well hidden on such long periods of time..? Kind of impressive
Whenever my Oma visited us, we would find the kitchen rearranged so it made sense to her. We never actually saw her do it. It appeared she was just helping with the dishes. She was good. And she was fast. For months afterward, we were always asking where things were.
lol my Dutch grandmother hated television and whenever she visited we had to pull the shutters on our TV stand so she wouldn’t have to look at it, even if it was turned off. She never ever owned a television and died in 2013. An incredibly disciplined woman as a mother of 9.
you know.. the thing i like about this sort of thing. is that even though it can be silly sometimes, there’s still love behind this mother’s concerns. i’m only 15, but with the laughs too, i am reminded to appreciate my own mother, even when all of it can get irritating. she’s teaching me how to live how she lived. i love my mom :)
@victoriaparker2705 That means that your mother was born in 1930 and was 15 years old when WWII ended. She was probably a member of the BDM. I am sure that she had some interesting and terrifying stories to tell.
@@spaceman081447 Don't know what BDM means. However, she was in the Hitler youth as a child. Although, she came to England in the late 1940s and married two service men (Navy and Royal Engineers). It's a long story. I'm her youngest daughter, my Mum was 40 when I was born.
@@victoriaparker2705 BDM is the German initials for the League of German Girls, the female counterpart to the Hitler Youth. (BDM = Bund Deutscher Madchen)
@@spaceman081447 I did not know. Thank you. My Mum use to say: German girls don't cry. Mum made a home in Britain and we were brought up 'British'. Although, after my Dad passed away in 2006, she slowly developed dementia and that was a time when she started watching, reading WW2 stuff. I think the dementia was taken her back to her youth. It is awful to know that your Mum was subjected to Hitler's rule, that she was part of that horrid time. My Mum got on with everyone and was caring. I think she brought herself to Britain not the Germany she was taught.

LMAO your videos have literally helped me understand my German boss down to the all black and turtleneck she wears no matter the weather, mindset etc.. literally so iconic. My boss is also your mom 😭 Danke! 💀🙏
I had a German friend & this is so accurate! She got stuff DONE, though. Have to give her that!
The German mom makes me feel safe and taken care of ....I love her as a mother to millions. She is medicine to the soul 🥰🥰🥰
I am so happy to read that 😍 I am a German mom
I know I just love her!
German mother skits are somehow so funny and endearing. I watch these when I’m sad and it lifts my mood so much. Thank you!
As a 22 year old German girl, I can confirm this is going to be me in about 15 years :D let's drink some wine to that .
Same.
Apparently we don't have any 😅
Cheers, Schwester
Laura German mother is AWESOME! You do such a believable job portraying her I forget she’s not real. She’s SO REAL!!
It's an impression of her own mother! So you can take heart in knowing that this is as real as a "character" gets!
i forget her parents are not the same woman in a black turtleneck and a white shirt lol
This is accurate. The only difference between her and my 85 year old German mother is that mine has no clue about Uber or technology.
thats very on brand tho
she does but she decided not to think about it.
I love your Mamma! She is not going to cut you any slack. Square yourself away, mom never rests.
"You know, hosting is an art" lmaoooo
My mother died in 1985 just as I turned 15. Sometimes I think I can’t remember her but I love how you bring her back to life! Mostly with your swimming never getting your hair wet 😂 Thank you ❤🥰❤️
😂😂😂! Actually I grew up in Switzerland but one thing I noticed and I took for granted is the interaction with all the neighbors. Everyone talks to each other and if anyone for example is sick or needs help all most neighbors know and just show up at your door with healthy homemade food or they at least genuinely ask how you doing!
"because you are going to do it" 😂😂😂 had me dying
My best friend for 38 years was German - she passed last year - I just heard this entire skit in her voice 😁 thank you for such fun memories. ❤
My mother talks to my neighbors more than I do.
Same... 💀
She's right.
About everything.
I love the criticism of the neighbor's groceries after the overly friendly greeting.😂
I don't know any German women. But I love these videos. Like, I could watch a whole movie or show w this character lol
I had a friend in high school who was from Germany. That's my only point of reference but it makes me assume I love German ppl lol
I know two. It’s spot on. They are very direct and straightforward.
I am a German woman. You still get posture- and vegetable-shamed far into adulthood.
I just want to sit and listen to this over and over. I MISS MY MOM
She is really growing on me. At first I thought the editing was choppy - and it is - but deliberately and brilliantly so. Why show her finishing a sentence when we know very well what’s coming? Makes it all the funnier. I’ve seen 3 or 4 of these videos and they just get better and better. Kudos!
Oh, Laura, thank you so much for these doses of humour! I hope your Mom knows what good work her opinions are doing in the world. Well, my world anyway!❤
I have a German professor. I’ve taken three of her classes now && this is cracking me up. The cadence, the accent, the subtle jabs. Ahhhh
I like this character your portraying, because it is teaching me how a mother is supposed to act. ❤😢
German mom is the absolute best. I've watched this one five times already
😂 Your mum sounds lovely and caring.
My mom is Italian and I can tell you there are a lot of similarities. These videos are fantastic and hilarious but also comforting in a weird way 😂
Yep, the need for total cleanliness at all times, vegetables at every meal and involving your neighbors in your life.
You need to watch her “Italian dad” videos too… perfection!
To be honest this could be Polish, Italian, Spanish, English, anyone European. It must be American parents that aren’t like this
Thats why the germany-italy -friendship is so strong 😂
We need a German mom emoji, with the turtleneck sweater of course 😂
Oh no I am german and I love turtlenecks 💀 is this what I am going to be when I am a mom? 😂😂
I am a German mom myself and it’s all so true!!
Wow, so you're the fkng worst too..?
Tell me, how can yall have so little self-awareness but maintain that stick up ur äṣṣ so well hidden on such long periods of time..? Kind of impressive
Oh, thats where I got it? 😮
hahaa nicht wahr. Ich lach mich auch halb tot.
Ja, ne? Fernseher 🙄
Ich fuehle mich auch erwischt 😅
Ich wusste nicht das andere auch so sind 😂
Makes me miss Germany. ❤
I am always amazed at how funny and relatable this is, yet completely benign.
the sound of the German accent makes this skit even funnier than it already is 😂
The body language is on point and really fantastic.
Whenever my Oma visited us, we would find the kitchen rearranged so it made sense to her. We never actually saw her do it. It appeared she was just helping with the dishes. She was good. And she was fast. For months afterward, we were always asking where things were.
Hysterical characterization, cleverly delivered, this is fabulous comic gold in under a minute!
The “or what” gets me every time 😂
lol my Dutch grandmother hated television and whenever she visited we had to pull the shutters on our TV stand so she wouldn’t have to look at it, even if it was turned off. She never ever owned a television and died in 2013. An incredibly disciplined woman as a mother of 9.
I love it! The universal truth of MOM. It seems so confrontational, but it’s panic that they are no longer the absolute authority in your life.
Your mother is my spirit animal.
you know.. the thing i like about this sort of thing. is that even though it can be silly sometimes, there’s still love behind this mother’s concerns. i’m only 15, but with the laughs too, i am reminded to appreciate my own mother, even when all of it can get irritating. she’s teaching me how to live how she lived. i love my mom :)
A good mother is the best thing on earth!
after a good father
@@ynpavo no.
@@meowtain9566
Yes
I just love how much she LOVES The Good Wife jajajajaaj
Brilliant!!! MUCH NEEDED laugh! Thank you so much, Laura. ♥️
I'm neurodivergent and I exhibit this level of directness. I love it!
Same, i always thought I should have been born there!
"there is a lot of underwear drying on this rack."
"THERE IS NO WINE?!"
I’m neurodivergent and German. This isn’t the first time that I’m looking at my family wondering if we’re just German…
if germans are actually like this then i love them.
Come on over and hang out. :)
Yes, we are exactly this warm, non-judgmental, and effervescently upbeat. 😑😉
They are and I love them 😂 going back in a couple months and I can't wait
I am german I am more chill but my mother is exactly like that 😂 but the book shaming part is only my also german dad 😵💫
@@katzchenschatzchen6751the book shaming part is me and i'm just in my 20s
I just recently found your page and I caught myself thinking, “I really want to see what Laura’s like” 😂😂😂 your acting skills are top notch!
For real, she fooled me twice already 😂 I catch myself thinking "lemme see Laura's profile pic".
Duh.
I think I'm in love with your mum! 😂❤ This is exactly what I'm looking for!
Reminds me of my Mum who was German. She passed away in 2020 aged 90.
@victoriaparker2705
That means that your mother was born in 1930 and was 15 years old when WWII ended. She was probably a member of the BDM. I am sure that she had some interesting and terrifying stories to tell.
@@spaceman081447 Don't know what BDM means. However, she was in the Hitler youth as a child. Although, she came to England in the late 1940s and married two service men (Navy and Royal Engineers). It's a long story. I'm her youngest daughter, my Mum was 40 when I was born.
@@victoriaparker2705
BDM is the German initials for the League of German Girls, the female counterpart to the Hitler Youth.
(BDM = Bund Deutscher Madchen)
@@spaceman081447 I did not know. Thank you. My Mum use to say: German girls don't cry.
Mum made a home in Britain and we were brought up 'British'. Although, after my Dad passed away in 2006, she slowly developed dementia and that was a time when she started watching, reading WW2 stuff. I think the dementia was taken her back to her youth. It is awful to know that your Mum was subjected to Hitler's rule, that she was part of that horrid time. My Mum got on with everyone and was caring. I think she brought herself to Britain not the Germany she was taught.
