@@mweskampppSimply adding the city to your name would be illegal in Germany estate law. But double names are common, especially among upper class women. Also nobility still exists, which of course is named after regions and cities. Müller-Lüdenscheid is of course meant for comedic effect, but the name encodes a few absurdities which Loriot (who was born in very old noble family, about as old as the idea of a German realm, two ) might have been fully aware of. But thats a lengthy story.
@@denniskrenz2080 It is not a change of your legal name, just common used adds to tell the different Müllers and Schmitts from each other. A kind of nickname if you want.
I can assure you there has never happened a conversation between two germans like that. At the same time this was probably one of the most german conversations ever. Genius!
You never followed a conversation of two higher ranking adademics in the German civil service in competition in the 70ties and earlier. That form of conversation is actually only slightly exaggerated. I worked some years later in the civil service and the head of the entity had an own bath tube en suite in his office. We always joked that he and his not very liked deputy sat together in the tube and talked that way - "the duck stays out" was a standard joke.
@@Autograf-dx7kv Germans are the most efficient people in the world, yet their civil services and governance is the least effective in the entire world, which is hilarious to me.
Loriot (Vicco von Bülow, died in 2011) was a master of observation. He has observed, dissected and depicted so many everyday situations in an ingeniously subtle way that everyone has to find themselves somewhere. Many short quotations have become so much used in German that many young people themselves use them without knowing where they come from. After all, these sketches are almost 50 years old.... ... and absolutely timeless.
Who is she? Evelyn Hamann. She will now try to announce the English television series "North Cothelstone Hall" with a short synopsis. It's just that most of the words are very difficult to pronounce for germans and therefore a tough job for her. RUclips hates links but you can find it if you search "Anett Koch" and "Inhaltsangabe". Similar to this one is " Loriot 1972 - Rede des Bundestagsabgeordneten Karl-Heinz Stiegler". A fictional politician who gives a typical speech for 2 minutes that sounds interesting but has no content at all. So like in reality. He talks like an educated man and doesn't say anything for 2 minutes. But well put.
The woman at the end is Evelyn Hamann, Loriot made his TV series and his movies with her, she was very funny. The TV skits should be easy to find, on YT.
Hey D. I grew up with these brilliant comedians. Unfortunately all of them have since passed away. Loriot (real life name Vicco von Bülow) was the master of absurd situations. I got his whole collection on DVD, cause I still love to watch it, even after 40 years. The last picture in this clip was the beginning of one of the most hilarious sketches. This is a TV announcement of an English TV series (The Two Cousins), where she (Evelyn Hamann) is fighting the difficulties of the English language (especially the "th", which is sometimes pretty complicated for Germans). If you ever get a chance to watch this, get diapers first....
Loriot (Vicco von Bülow) once said, I'm a cartoonist, not a painter. The difference is, that painters occasionally cut off their ear, but cartoonists don't.
Very funny Reaction, to watch...😂 The sketch shows the pettiness of people, regardless of education, even in the most absurd situations. Vico von Bühlow, a descendant of old nobility, calls himself" Loriot" because the bird of the same name is depicted in his family coat of arms. His movie sketches are also worth seeing. He always plays the leading role in them.
The oldest movie, I saw him in was a very old version of "Nothing new on the western front", where he is in a room with high officers. He sits in the background at a field telefone and repeating B I E N E N K O R B (Beehive), obviously a codeword. That was before his career as a comedian. Later he got a cartoon series with his little men with the conkers nose in the german weekly magazine "Stern".
Loriot was a true genius and a master of pointing out the small things in life and ridicule them in a very, very sophisticated manner. Nobody will ever reach this level again.
35+ yrs (and counting) in Berlin, was floored by Loriot from first contact, and to this day mourn the passing of this Olympian of high-brow humor. Had my parents back in Denver theoretically understood German, or were they theoretically here - Loriot would have been their absolute mainstay, i.e., as an American raised in a household which loved humor at just this level, I was smitten with Loriot from the get-go. If I were at rock bottom and nailed to a hospital bed, then watched all the Loriot sketches and films 24/7, even twice over, I'd be dancin' outa there on top of the world.
You have just watched one of the most famous comedy sketches of all German TV history by probably the best German comedian ever. Loriot is an absolute icon. You should consider however that his works are a few decades old by now and depict the Germany in the 50s, 60s and 70s mostly. I like to believe that we have relaxed a little bit since then.
Loriot war ein genialer Komiker und Satiriker. Dass er „über den großen Teich“ nun auch in den Vereinigten Staaten gewürdigt wird, freut mich riesig. Herzlichen Gruß aus Deutschland.
Hello D. This conversation reflects perfectly discussions in the Parliament. Respectively between two parties in a coalition. Love it. 😂😂😂😂😂 With love from Germany 🤘🏻 ❤
Loriot is an absolute German cultural asset. we often used it at school. especially in the context of Friedmann Schulz von Thun's transmitter-receiver theory. The sketch with the breakfast egg is also very good.
Ich liebe Loriot, er sowie Evelyn Hamann sind und bleiben unvergessen. Wunderbare und absurd komische Alltags-Geschichten auf die Spitze getrieben. Ja, auch in Deutschland gab und gibt es Humor 😊
That woman is Evelyn Hamann, she's doing another scetch for the show. After he retired, Loriot mostly avoided public appearences, I think the only time I heard of him again was when she died of cancer, where he said something along the lines of that the fact that she died before him was the only bad joke she was ever made.
"Fremdwanne" - das ist so genial, dass die Figur diesen eigens für diesen Moment ersonnenen Neologismus als Wortkompositum so verwendet, als sei es ein tatsächlich existierender Begriff, den man im Duden nachschlagen kann. Das macht unter anderem die sprachliche Genialität Loriots aus. "Fremdwanne" (foreign bathtub) - it's so ingenious that the character uses this neologism, which was invented especially for this moment, as if it were an actual term that you can look up in the dictionary. This is one of the things that makes up Loriot's linguistic genius.
This wonderful Guy who made this (full name is Victor von Bülow) died in August 2011. He was 91. The Loriot was the bird on the coat of the family - arms (aristocrated). The cartoon is from 1978. He is still one of the most famous German comedians ever. We still miss him! 😥😥 Greetings from Germany!
Bernhard-Viktor Christoph-Carl von Bülow (Loriot) (1923-2011) was a genius. The oriole (loriot in French) is part of the coat of arms of the ‘von Bülow’ family.
Actually, I came quite close to this situation once. There had been an error at the reception and they gave me a key card to a room already taken. When I came in, there was someone in the bath tub. Of course, both of us knew the famous sketch by Loriot! 😂
I watched his "Loriot's 80th Birthday" number on TV back when it came out, it was different than his 60th and 70th, wholly different format, he just chatted with us, and I still died laughing. He told a very funny anecdote about that cameo role he'd played in the US film you mention. Hilarious, what he told, self-deprecating in high form as always - the wild thing was, the next day I flew to the States to visit my parents, and in the livingroom where my dad sat, this very film and this very scene were actually playing! I fell over in disbelief at such timing.
This cartoon is from 1970 ´ and Loriot was a very intelligent, educated, kind and talented person. loved his pugs ( A live without pug is possible , but doesn ´t make sense ) was born in the part of Germany later known as the GDR, but lived in the West. He died in 2011
Loriot, One of the greatest! I was so sad when he died, but I loved his obituary one full page of the newspaper and just a sentence: Lieber Gott, viel Spaß! "Dear Lord, have fun!" I am impressed, how easy this guys are able to stand uo in a slippery bathtub... Now I will look for more from Loriot, see you in 1-2 days 🤓
We miss Loriot a lot... because he had just that great special sort of humor... he was on the spot as noone else.... He wrote and performed many great storys and films... we never forget him and his co actors who where ever so brilliant also ...
Certainly one of the most famous and "sustainable" German-language sketches. Some terms and words have become part of German usage. Loriot captured the soul of the Germans with his work.
The authoring, drawing, acting and directing skills of the Monty Pythons pretty much combined in a single person, that's what the late Loriot still is to me.
I was still a kid when I first saw that sketch on TV - and I am old as the hills now. It is really all about the difference of speech level to content of what they are saying. Plus being naked helps to the absurdity, too. Two businessmen sitting in one tub and the one to the left - Dr. Kübler - knows early on he is sitting in the wrong tub and still insists on dictating the rules.
Thank you soo much . Loriot was so special and so great. A lot of his scenes/ sketches/ jokes are legendary. As a German, you would recognices his voice and the scenes immediatly. 😂 and yes, of course, these two guys in the bathtube. 😂 Many Germans remember a lot of the words - and of course, the names. Like, when someone mentioned "Herr Dr Klöbner" ... ( Mr. Klöbner) or "Herr Müller- Lüdenscheid", everyones know.... 😅 It is the same with " Die Ente bleibt draußen" (the rubber duck stays outside) of course, outside the bathtube. 😅
U can t understand loriot without beeing german ... So much insider nobody will ever get without german roots .. I love him .he was is and always will be one of the best .
Didn´t even watched this by myself as a german! Great reaction! You should really watch Volker Pispers! Cause i think YOU understand the german sarcasm!
In German it is funny because they speak in an absolutely polite and formal way, like professors discussing phylosophy or politicians discussing some serious issues 🤣
The deeper meaning behind this sketch was the political debate culture in the German Bundestag. That some politicians took on issues that weren't actually theirs and then sat rhetorically in the empty bathtub during speeches, i.e. rambling on without any competence. By the way, there was once a carnival sketch in which this was parodied. There Angela Merkel sat in the bathtub with her husband and had this discussion, only slightly updated. After that, there were many modified copies of it, including one with Merkel and Trump.
German society in the 70s. Loriot was a master in showing the absurdity behind our German attempt to be super correct and hide behind formal talk and positions. These 2 economic higher ups ending up in the bath is a classic from Loriot. He was just brilliant and very precise
R.I.P. Vicco von Bülow a.k.a. Loriot. A brilliant Comedian who loved playing with the german language. His favorite word was "Auslegeware" and unforgotten the sketches: "Das Bild hängt schief" and "Die Nudel" and many more.
These reactions are a good laugh as well as a reminder to good comedic bits. Thx a lot. Since you appreciate loriot so much you might want to give the Werner comic series a shot. I sure am convinced you’ll find them hilarious as well. Different twist, but also a great amount of good parodies of pathetic every day stereotypical characters we’re all confronted with. Greetings from cologne, Germany Keep up the good work

German society in the 70s. Loriot was a master in showing the absurdity behind our German attempt to be super correct and hide behind formal talk and positions.
These 2 economic higher ups ending up in the bath is a classic from Loriot. He was just brilliant and very precise
R.I.P. Vicco von Bülow a.k.a. Loriot. A brilliant Comedian who loved playing with the german language.
His favorite word was "Auslegeware" and unforgotten the sketches: "Das Bild hängt schief" and "Die Nudel" and many more.
These reactions are a good laugh as well as a reminder to good comedic bits. Thx a lot.
Since you appreciate loriot so much you might want to give the Werner comic series a shot.
I sure am convinced you’ll find them hilarious as well.
Different twist, but also a great amount of good parodies of pathetic every day stereotypical characters we’re all confronted with.
Greetings from cologne, Germany
Keep up the good work
Can confirm this is a classic german workspace conversation.
Loriot was one of the best comedian germany ever had. I'm glad and proud you like it 😊
