It's funny how even Germans watching this tent to find it funny, listening to a guy stating nothing but clear facts. Talking about the "travel cancellation insurance", Vince forgot to mention the hardest part of negotiating it, that is to define the exact terms of the Reiserücktrittsversicherungsausschlussklauseln (the travel cancellation insurances' exclusion clauses); the mere thought of having spent time, effort and money, for something like an insurance and then not beinig able to benefit from it because some details had been overseen is sheer horror to Germans and something they fear more the death !
Meanwhile the American citizens - and business owners - brood over their health insurance plans, try to find the least shitty one (they are getting ripped off left, right and center. As a nation they spend double per person compared to most other wealthy countries). Companies that MUST offer a plan, change the plans (coverage) all the time. They are often forced to, if the insurance does not think the client (company) is profitable they raise premiums, co-pays, deductibles until the company gives up (the insurance companies intends to "fire" the company, but they cannot openly send them a letter that they want them to get lost because one employee (or a family member) happens to have a costly or ongoing treatment. Might be against the law, and would be so bad PR that politicians might be needed to react. 8I heard that from Wendell Potter, whistleblower on the industry). So every year (or inbetween even, the insurers and employers can make those changes as they want) American citizens have to reassess which doctors are in the "network" which their insurance plans - currently - covers. Not conscious after an accident and the "wrong" ambulance got you in the "wrong" hospital ? There comes the suprise bill, never mind that you "had insurance". Can be a few thousand dollars for smaller medical inervention. X-rays, fixing a broken bone A cesarian costs around 10,000 USD in a first world nation, and 30,000 in the U.S. (on average). Well it does not "cost" 30,000 USD (running a hospital in Japan, Frane or the U.S. cannot be that different, not how they organize it and not the budgets they need), but that is what is BILLED. Bill over USD 800 for use of the wrong ambulance company would not be extraordinary. Another story that Wendell Potter mentioned. A woman fell into a gap at the underground or she stumbled. She hurt her leg badly she had a cut on her leg from some sharp metal. The bone showed, so quite severe. She cried out of pain, while other people tried to help her - and begged them to NOT call an ambulance, because she could not afford the costs.
I'd take the booking of travel cancellation insurance every day over handling U.S. health insurance (even more security for the consumer, for a voluntary ! planned contract for a luxury product). The travel agencies tend to offer it as a given for higher priced contracts: It is a little more revenue for them AND the customers will not mind paying, but will be thankful that the agency nudged them to book it, IF they need it. That is a win / win for the industry. And if the travel is not costly but the person just about can afford it (the big once a year joy) - then it also makes sense to secure your position so to speak. Germans have the reputation of travelling a lot, and if you spend some money on the contract, and the insurance (if you cannot fulfill the contract does not cost that much) - Why not ? Americans are coaxed to insure their expensive smartphones (especially lower income people use that). Sure they lose a few hundred bucks if they drop it and it breaks beyond repair, but the insurance seems to be quite expensive (considering the maximum damage / cost of insurance ratio). Booking travel cancellation insurance for a planned pricey vacation is a good problem (expenditure) to have.

I'm curious where the stereotype of the humourless german even comes from because in my experience Germans are some of the most fun people to be around and they laugh probably the most.
Ben Schmie. Might be because we don’t over exaggerate when laughing like most Americans tend to do (which is kind of normal for them, I guess). If it’s not funny, we‘re not going to laugh; if it‘s only slightly amusing, you better believe we‘re not gonna burst out in laughter either (well, most of us, I presume). But ultimately your guess is as good as mine!
My (german) dad has his own theory on the humorless german sterotype. He grew up in the seventies in a town where there was a british barracks and tells the story that the british soldiers were often looking for trouble, beating up locals and stuff like this. So there was no reason for him to have fun or laugh around these soldiers and when they came home they told everyone "hey, these germans don't have humor, I never saw them laugh". He was visiting scotland a few years ago and a scottish guy wanted to tell them a joke about germans that never smile. My father just asked if he was a soldier in germany (he was) and told him exactly this story. That guy didn't tell the joke.

That’s not true, I’m Germany we also say “wie läufts” or “wie gehts” just as a greeting, and in France they say “ca va” as a greeting. The only thing weird about the American way is that it’s this whole ritual of “how are you? I’m fine thanks how are you? I’m good thanks!” Where as in Germany we just say “Hey how are you?” And the answer is just “Hi!” Or whatever. There’s not this codified series of phrases. But other than that it’s the same. Like if someone in Germany tells me their life story when we just greeted each other that would be weird as well.

Edison didn't invent the lightbulb, he invented a copper coating for the lightbulb filament that made it last longer, making it viable for commercial use.
The one about "how are you" is also relatable for me as a Russian. In Russia, we too ask others how are they doing, and they, of course, may reply with "I'm doing fine, thanks", but it would be considered impolite if the one who asked is your close friend or a relative. Because if you don't tell them, like, a whole bunch of stuff that happened to you in the near past, that would mean you don't trust that person, you don't want to talk to them and don't want to share your news with them. So, when asked "how are you doing?", we tend to *actually* reply by telling the one who asked about our life, our work, our family, our plans etc. P.S.: of course it doesn't work for everyone, it's not a rule. Just a tendency I noticed.
My brother actually did that once. I made a terrible joke and he was like. No that's not funny. Just so I would feel bad, than he went to the toilet and laughed 😂 he told me a day later
I loved Germany. Loved it. Wished I lived there except I don't feel smart enough or fit enough. Germany has high standards in almost everything. But it was incredible to me and changed me for the better. I'll never forget it.
I was in Rio de Janeiro during the World Cup Final, watching it on the beach, and while the Argentinians were having a meltdown the Germans gave a simple clap at their amazing win and retreated without much fanfare. They are unfazed 😂
As a US passport holder who has lived in 6 countries, I am convinced that Germans are more intelligent on their worst day than we (Americans) could ever hope to be on our best day. This does not mean that they have more common sense and flexibility in problem-solving, but they are literally like a different species when it comes to intelligence of any kind. After living here for the past two plus years, I think part of this is due to the fact that Germans are actual grownups. America just cannot seem to grow out of its adolescence, and the culture and people in that country really do reflect this.

@@walterwhite415 Look - we Germans are actually very very light hearted and spontanous people. It's just that this light-heartedness and spontanity has to be orderly, well documented and thoroughly planned.
Edit: And keep in mind, that humour is not a laughing matter.
Ich bin aus Rusland, and Ich liebe Ihren Humor, Herr Ebert!
I'm curious where the stereotype of the humourless german even comes from because in my experience Germans are some of the most fun people to be around and they laugh probably the most.
Ben Schmie. Might be because we don’t over exaggerate when laughing like most Americans tend to do (which is kind of normal for them, I guess). If it’s not funny, we‘re not going to laugh; if it‘s only slightly amusing, you better believe we‘re not gonna burst out in laughter either (well, most of us, I presume). But ultimately your guess is as good as mine!
well germans have the best type of Humor, Galgenhumor. Nothing beats galgenhumor

My goodness I live on laughter! Makes life easier! Meine Güte, ich lebe zu lachen, es macht das Leben einfacher! Hahahaha
My (german) dad has his own theory on the humorless german sterotype. He grew up in the seventies in a town where there was a british barracks and tells the story that the british soldiers were often looking for trouble, beating up locals and stuff like this. So there was no reason for him to have fun or laugh around these soldiers and when they came home they told everyone "hey, these germans don't have humor, I never saw them laugh". He was visiting scotland a few years ago and a scottish guy wanted to tell them a joke about germans that never smile. My father just asked if he was a soldier in germany (he was) and told him exactly this story. That guy didn't tell the joke.

“How are you” from strangers is the most irritating question. In continental Europe you only ask it from acquaintances
true i once was in canada and the store assistant asked that, i was so confused that i couldn’t answer 😂
in germany we say "muss, muss waa"
That’s not true, I’m Germany we also say “wie läufts” or “wie gehts” just as a greeting, and in France they say “ca va” as a greeting.
The only thing weird about the American way is that it’s this whole ritual of “how are you? I’m fine thanks how are you? I’m good thanks!”
Where as in Germany we just say “Hey how are you?” And the answer is just “Hi!” Or whatever. There’s not this codified series of phrases.
But other than that it’s the same. Like if someone in Germany tells me their life story when we just greeted each other that would be weird as well.
The lightbulb/quantum physics comparison had me in stitches.
I can just picture it "I don't care, just invent me a lightbulb! Now dammit!"
"Sorry but I don't work here" :D

I like the German accent in English because there is always a lisp and I think it's cute
Diddle Skittles *me as a german with german accent“ i think its like the worst thing in this world, i really hate my accent xD it sound kinda weird for me xD
German accent sounds cool in English; however, the German language is horrendous.
People of other nations are proud of their accent or at least they don't hate it. But no German ever likes the German accent.
@@paulapierrot9542 Because the very existence of your accent is an offense to the entire culture of foreign languages and also blow your cover as an secret agent, jk :D
It's not so much a lisp and more having problems to pronounce the th and voiced consonants in general, especially if they aren't followed by a vowel. It's mainly the older Germans though, generation 50+, who still have that thick cliche accent replacing the th by a straight on s without noticing it. Germans who started learning English already as as children in school usually have a less prominent accent and can pronounce a th.
As a Swede we share the germanic approach😂
As a German, I am ver offe- yeah, no, he's actually right. We do all of that...
“I flew into NY”

The one about "how are you" is also relatable for me as a Russian. In Russia, we too ask others how are they doing, and they, of course, may reply with "I'm doing fine, thanks", but it would be considered impolite if the one who asked is your close friend or a relative. Because if you don't tell them, like, a whole bunch of stuff that happened to you in the near past, that would mean you don't trust that person, you don't want to talk to them and don't want to share your news with them. So, when asked "how are you doing?", we tend to *actually* reply by telling the one who asked about our life, our work, our family, our plans etc.
P.S.: of course it doesn't work for everyone, it's not a rule. Just a tendency I noticed.
Yeah that sounds also right for Germany
German humor aptly described?
It clearly shows the stage design:
"Go to the basement to laugh"
My brother actually did that once. I made a terrible joke and he was like. No that's not funny. Just so I would feel bad, than he went to the toilet and laughed 😂 he told me a day later
I loved Germany. Loved it. Wished I lived there except I don't feel smart enough or fit enough. Germany has high standards in almost everything. But it was incredible to me and changed me for the better. I'll never forget it.

As a US passport holder who has lived in 6 countries, I am convinced that Germans are more intelligent on their worst day than we (Americans) could ever hope to be on our best day. This does not mean that they have more common sense and flexibility in problem-solving, but they are literally like a different species when it comes to intelligence of any kind. After living here for the past two plus years, I think part of this is due to the fact that Germans are actual grownups. America just cannot seem to grow out of its adolescence, and the culture and people in that country really do reflect this.
