Christoph Waltz Explains Krampus to Jimmy Fallon

Приколы
Hate it how Waltz was about to enlighten us with some awesome Freud fact and Fallon started saying ''hey'all'' like an idiot.
murica...
+Victor Bernardes That was getting really obnoxious, I can't believe grown adults were amused by this.
+JChills I know, right ?
+Victor Bernardes
He was trying to do letterman where he repeats silly jokes over and over just to get a laugh!
He is talented but his behaviors should not be on The Late Show as host
I was actually interested in the Freud fact.
Christoph Waltz is literally the first person I've ever seen on TV saying "That's not funny" to the audience without trying to cause another laugh
Cheydinal love your profile picture BTW
Jerry Seinfeld on Letterman with Michael Richards.
I don't know, i mean, he has a particular sense of humor and sometimes tries (and manages) to make people laugh while he looks like he's being serious. Sometimes i struggle to tell if he's being serious or not.
Maybe sometimes it looks like this, but sometimes he's just rude. A brazilian comedian interviewed him once and when the guy tried to make a scene for the show, he just said he wouldn't do it, saying he wasn't getting paid for that, so he wouldn't work for him. The interview didn't last long and then it didn't even go live. He's not a kind person at all.
Welcome to the wonderful World of us Austrians, we never put on a fake smile and talk behind backs, simply because we are rude right away. Also, don't expect an Austrian man to work if he isn't getting paid for it. And while we're at it, we love to complain about everything at our work, but in the end we still do our job well. :]
Differences between Europeans and Americans:
"You have to remember Sigmund Freud was Austrian..."
"HEY Y'ALL!"
I actually had to laugh and not just a smirk or a grunt but a proper laugh :D
Junker Ju 87 so you mean to say that by being jewish, a person can have no proper citizenship?
Junker Ju 87 He was born in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and lived in Vienna. Of course he was an Austrian, what else?
sleep
Actually we Czechs like to mention Freud was born in Příbor (which literally means "Cutlery") , Czech Republic:P
"it's a catholic country, it works through traumatisation"
omg I died !!!!
Traumatisation or dramatisation?
namenlos40 It really is Traumatisation. In Germany its the same. Scary stories to stop kids from doing bad stuff. Even for me as a German I think it's pretty f***ed up. I'm glad no one told me them as a kid.
Alicia Diaz
Ich als Österreicher bin mit Krampus aufgewachsen.
Deutlich zu hören ist es nicht, was Waltz hier genau sagt.
Multimusic didn't know Austria is catholic
Hispanic (American) families are the same. And guess what? The majority of us are Catholic as well.
perfect example of the difference between the two cultures: "You have to remember Sigmund Freud was Austrian..." "HAY YALL"
+Patricia Roca yes, very on point I'd say. And very painful to watch.
actually what I was thinking! I think Christoph waltz is very funny and intelligent but jimmy just tries to keep the attention on his own penis
+HORSCHD MAYER lol i imagine how he takes out his D, throws it on the desk and screams: "Hey YALL haha"
+HORSCHD MAYER he's totally wasting his time with Christoph. also Jimmy Interrupts him everytime he speaks. pretty unfair and rude in my eyes.
***** he just wanted to make the audience laugh and Christopher wanted to tell something interesting. I wanted to hear the thing with Sigmund Freud but Jimmy interrupted him with his stupid hey y'all.
Is it just me or can anyone else feel how uncomfortable Christoph Waltz is with how childish Jimmy is
I felt it in the first 50 secs.
Not just you dude... got same feelings
You definitely aren't the only one my friend. Jimmy brings out dolls and started playing with them while Mr. Waltz did his best to not walk off the set.
He’s like cringing
I feel like Waltz's personality is misinterpreted an awful lot, he's far too smart and quick for people to catch up on and spot the dry humor.
Can You let Mr. Waltz talk please??
The Zoombot28 My thoughts exactly!
no!!!!
Agreed. You really blew an opportunity, Jimmy. You cut him off every time culture arose. Effing elf on a shelf??? Tard
Yesss
He probably does that on purpose coz he knows that American people don't give a rat's *ss about culture, so he doesn't want his ratings to go down
i always feel bad for Christoph in interviews, he always is so put together, smart and wants a genuine conversation with people and it’s always just jokes
you’re damn right
I agree 👍
I feel the exact same. he is so intelligent and I always want to hear what he has to say, only to be interrupted by these hosts who try ti find things about him and his culture to laugh at. they are wasting his time, and their own time too
He shouldn’t be on talk shows with people like Jimmy Fallon
It was a bit he prepared in advance for with Christof. Like it wasn't some organic conversation they started having about Austrian xmas. You don't really think jimmy keeps some random krampus under his desk for no reason do you?
"You have to remember Sigmund Freud was..."HEY YY'ALLLLLL, HEY Y'AAAL"
Damn you Jimmy, i wanted to hear :(
...Sigmunt Freud was Austrian
Stela Dragova Yes, yes and I bet an Austrian could add something more to that comment
No.. It's just a pretty good place to explore crazy people.. That's us.. Nothing else to say
schatzdrum Maybe you know your people are crazy, but I as a 16yr old girl from Bulgaria can only think of world geniuses from there :)
interneda98 there's a thin line between genius and insanity :)
3:30 I don't think I've ever seen a clearer depiction of "the immense gap that exists between the very bottom and the very top of a scale measuring intelligence" than Christoph beginning: "You have to remember that Sigmund Freud was-" only to get interrupted by an unfunny chat show host with the attention span of an untrained dog going: "HEY Y'ALL.... HEY Y'AAAALLLL" whilst playing with dolls.
You can hear him finishing his sentence with "austrian", just listen carefully ;)
+Raziel is Love - Raziel is Life Even still, I'm sure there was more to follow than just that.
theslyngl Maybe. But I guess most of the people in the audience don't know who Sigmund Freud is :D No Offense
"You have to remember Siegmund Freud was Austrian and" therefor attending this tradition, and with all his knowledge of the human mind still didn't disapprove it... unfortunately I had to guess that last part :( tnx jimmy
+Raziel is Love - Raziel is Life I'm not American so none taken.
watching this is so weird to me because I'm from Austria and literally everything he says makes 100% sense to me, I grew up with this. It's so weird to see that something to logical to me sounds so absurd to someone else's ears. Culture is a weird thing.
In Saarland, Germany we call him Knecht Ruprecht
Culture is the real thing :;
Or the arrogance of thinking your culture is the best and everyone else must comply with it - like the Americans does.
Das ist so übelst lustig anzusehen wie keiner checkt was er meint😂😂😂
How is this absurd !? This is totally fine and I am not even European :D
I always get the impression from Americans that they have no desire to learn about other cultures unless it's either to mock or to find novelty in them. This whole interview with Christoph explaining his country's traditions is Jimmy just searching for joke material to use. Christmas has been prevalent in Austria far longer than it has in America- keep that in mind, "y'all".
***** I'm actually Austrian, like Christoph. And did you mean his remark on lenience and permissiveness? Because he actually says 'thats not funny'. Because it's not. He's complimenting you. English isn't my first language and I can understand better than you. You americans are so sensitive despite being so dismissive to other nations.
***** 'Perhaps that was intent?' That WAS his intent.
And the Las Vegas thing is a joke. I'm not american but everyone knows that Las vegas is a place to gamble, drink and have sex. He's just making a disgusted face because he's acknowledging that humorously. You REALLY have to stop being so picky.
But every day i see americans saying that they think their country is number 1. Everyday I see americans push other cultures aside for their own. I dont hate america but you have to be really stupid to not see this too, like in this interview for example. Nobody actually listens to Christoph because they just want more jokes.
***** are you going to keep taking everything i say and just copying it and reversing it and thinking it's a valid point?...
Your original argument was that Christoph insulted America first in this interview. I proved you were wrong. So I'm done here.
***** Oh you speak german?
***** Hahaha Ich weiß, Sie verwendet Google Übersetzen, aufhören zu lügen
This interview is so cringe worthy. You almost need to feel sorry for Christoph Waltz.
He never really gets a chance to get going, because Fallon continually interrupts him, changes the subject, and tries to turn everything Waltz says into a ba-dum-tsshh joke.
Morning Napalm yeah agree!
And to think that this way better than the interview with Jimmy Kimmel
You know jimmy fallon fake is so boring when he has no idea how to do improptu comedic act, just stick to cards, play with dolls, and just fake laugh at nothing, unlike conan.. gosh.. late night and comedy has never been this low.. because of this kind of "entertainment"..
christoph as the villain in inglorious bastards was amazing
Indeed
***** What about Dr. King Schulz? Or his real personality?
Agreed. Seeing him on here really shows his wittiness. He has that in all his movies. I really like this actor. Doesn't get a lot of roles though. But when he does they are pretty awesome.
Agreed.
That's why he won an Academy Award for it!
Don't take Austrians too serious, they have a very special kind of humor, they call it "Schmäh" and if you don't understand it you think it's very rude and arrogant, but it isn't, it's meant in a lovely way, it's kind of being extremely sarcastic without showing being sarcastic .After a while in Austria you'll figure it out. Christoph Waltz is enjoying this 100%.
but as a bavarian- krampus is a thing and it is like waltz told
I think in Europe it's a pretty normal thing, I mean I'm Hungarian, and I understand this kind of humor perfectly. We swear a little more (okay a lot more😂) and look at the past, present and future a little more bitterly and hopelessly, but that kind of humor is here too and I enjoy that Christoph Waltz has that kind of humor.
@@schulerin8879 same goes for Serbia
thx for explaination
The German language is so expressive.
"You have to remember Sigmund Freud was Austrian" I love him so much
HEY YALLL
Crazy Wolfgang was für eine tiefere Bedeutung hat das deiner Meinung nach? Weil ich will ja nichts andeuten aber Kim Jong-Il war Koreaner
Crazy Wolfgang Nene der war aus Deutschland, der hat mit Österreich nichts zu tun wir wurden nur von ihm erobert :(
zmafmaster Hitler war österreicher du depp ^^
Hitler kommt von wien bzw umgebung ....wuchs dort auf und wäre er an der kunstschule aufgenommen worden, wärs vlt auch nie soweit gekommen
I am so fucking excited that he is in the new James Bond. Definitely one of my favourite actors. He is fluent in French, English and German. What a guy.
Isn't he the new Bond villain?
Max Mustermann He's playing a villain but I don't think it's the main one. Either way, he's definitely in it :)
oh sorry, I read "is the new Bond"
And Italian
Juan Guajardo Suárez He is not fluent in Italian, he said so in a different interview
Austria going strong. We gave you Arnold, Christoph, Mozart and.... well, another one.
The other one being Falco of course. Everybody was on vacation during the 1939-1945 period. Nothing really happened then. I have absolutely no idea who you could be referring to.
Adolf and Josef? :D
Christoph Waltz is the reparation for guys like Conchita Wurst and uncle Dolf.
The one with the beard? --> Conchita (Queen of Austria) :)
Maybe Sigmund Freud or Billy Wilder
3:32 Christoph: "You have to remember that Sigmund Freud was..."
Jimmy: "Hey y'all."
Embarrassing
As an Austrian I have to say he did an awesome job describing the tradition of 'Krampus'. I am one of those unfortunate people living in an area where teenage boys dress up as Krampus - let me tell you, it's actually pretty terrifying when they come running after you with their masks and bells.
I was in Hallstatt recently and saw it. Had never heard about it before. I was very scared as an adults. No idea how kids deal with it
Schrecklich!
@@vanessaprowse2448 The kids are growing up with this tradition and they know, there are only humans. And a little bit scared is also tradition growing up in Austria. It is a test of courage for the children to take part in a run. Parents don't force them.
"let me tell you, it's actually pretty terrifying when they come running after you with their masks and bells" yeah but only the first time 🤣
Thank you very much, Jimmy. Thanks to you, I'll never know what Waltz wanted to say about Freud.
he said: "you have to remember, Sigmund Freud was Austrian." Being Austrian myself, I can only imagine it means, there is a reason, why Psychoanalysis started in Vienna, Austria, cause we are crazy traumatized people.. The crazy is big here :p that's my interpretation at least
That annoyed me too. And for that stupid "Hey y'all!" joke. But it probably had to do with how Freud described the good and evil duality present in human psyche. There's our basic, instinctual, animalistic desires, and then there's our idealistic vision for how'd we'd like to be and act. These two conflicting ideas are personified in Krampus and Saint Nicolas, or better yet, in the kids that they'd get, respectively.
YAAAAASSSSS UGH IM SO ANNOYED
Oh my God, I feel as mad as all the people who wanted to know what he was GOING TO SAY ABOUT FREUD! UGH!!! lol
Title should be:
Christophe Waltz Tries To Explain Krampus to Jimmy Fallon
This man has such proper etiquette and speaks so well. One of my favorite actors.
"Universes part us - we're not a lenient, permissive culture like the US is" - His fluency and vocab are so much better than my own and I'm from England, where they fucking invented the language!
LMAO!
To be honest, you do not invented the language, its actually German with French borrowing Greek and latin words.
Cult Valium you couldnt resist could you
It 's a Germanic language but it was developed in England so yeah they invented it
@@zivagood THANK you. 👏👏
3:30-3:34 we could have heard something truly interesting regarding Sigmund Freud, but instead...ohh well....
Thought exactly the same! What a nasty interruption!
Well, all he wanted to say is that Freud was Austrian I guess...
Fallon always keeps interrupting his guests, that's just the way he is.
Sukrim he said that but than he wanted to say something more, I guess thanks to jimmy we'll never know.
Hahaha! I wanted to hear that bit too. I was hoping he would bring it back up.
Anyone else in love with Christoph Waltz? No?.. Just me?.. okay.
+Rachel Plitt definitely not, i watch every movie he is in ;D
He's talented, great looking, and that smile..I only watched this video because I saw his face lol
+Rachel Plitt Yeah we Austrians are pretty rad
+Rachel Plitt You got some daddy issues.
+Rachel Plitt I am 50% in love and 50% in constant terror
because there's something about him that's very scary hahaha
“It’s a Catholic country. It works through traumatization.”
Accurate. Hahahaha hahahaha
Waltz is sooo attractive
Grace Charles yes, he is. Have you seen him in photos as a younger man. He was insanely attractive and I'm straight. I think Im still am after this commentary haha
Is it wrong to say that I found him extremely attractive in that Nazi uniform in Inglorious Basterds.
Adriana G Flores uniforms just have something about them.
@@adrianagflores5587 no, I feel exactly the same. I thought I was the only one
Oh yes he is 😍
Christoph Waltz's mind reader
0:40 *this is so stupid, I can't believe it*
0:42 *Does he expect me to say something. Ok, I should say something*. ".... oh, really?".
I am so sorry for him, this was painful to watch
laughed way too hard about this... :'DD
i saw it on his face too. poor guy.
makes me wonder why Jimmy invited him, if he didn't want to listen to his answers at all.
+redToffifee me too :D
It’s the moment he realises he’s talking to a child.
Jimmy Fallon’s style is to force feed the zany cutesy kooky crazy loveable infantile class clown until he gets that laugh and he doesn’t care how hard or how long he has to work that angle to get it. It’s exhausting and oddly aggressive to behold.
Im Austrian, and thats TRUE!!! I never thought it is so...... crazy hahaha It was like "normal" when I was a kid..
same here
Well, of course he exaggerated a bit, for the comedic effect. I remember never being afraid of Krampus, because even as a little kid I knew it was just a myth, but I still believed in the "Christkind", who is bringing the presents on Christmas Eve.
same here:)
he should have told them about the Christkindl too
You´re brave! I´m Austrian and when I was a child I was scared as hell ^^ later my brothers and my Dad were dressed as Krampus and Nikolaus on the Krampuslauf and when they go from house to house. I´m teaching in Ireland at the moment - my heart even started beating faster when I showed the kids the videos of a Krampuslauf ^^ traumatised for life :D And the Christkind is veeery hard to explain to people who believe in Santa Claus since it´s not a "person". They have a hard time to understand what the Christkind is.
Lila Liefde I too was very scared as a child. One day our mayor and vice mayor came to our house dressed as Nikolaus and Krampus asking the parrents of the town if their children are nice and my Mum said "Well....I don't know" and all I was really scared she could say no and Krampus would take me with him.
let poor Christoph talk
And Americans are still asking why the rest of the world doesn't like them?
I'm Moroccan and I love Americans. Go watch Conan O' Brien for some real fun instead of this douche and don't think all Americans are like Jimmy.
@@nourchame019 maghribi hna hhh
@@nourchame019
I don't think there is anyone who loves America except a stupid person influenced by American media.
First most of us don't care if you don't like us. And I have met many people who loved Americans. Theres a reason why we have the most immigration and I love that. I love different languages and cultures. NYC is the place to be.
@@witchblade1969 Agreed there are great people everywhere, although when someone sais the dont like Americans, i think they often just think about the US state because it is pure evil, but ordinary people arent guilty for that, but thats just how things work, one on the top must crush one on the bottom, coming from a Serbian guy we often get a lot of hate on the Internet because of certain stereotypes, but ive never met anyone irl who felt bothered by the fact I'm from Serbia
This is what I don't like about Jimmy Fallon - he doesn't know how to adapt to his guests. He bounces off people like Bradley Cooper and Channing Tatum very well, but has no idea how to speak to people like Christoph who hold themselves a little more seriously. As a result, he just comes off as disrespectful.
I wish Jimmy would stay quiet for Christopher Waltz. He's probably the best actor in the world right now and many of us are really interested in hearing him.
+TLydon008 I wouldn't say he's "the best." There's other actors who are just as talented and skilled as he is. Tom Hanks, Daniel Day Lewis, Jack Nicholson; just to name a few.
+That's What You Get For Waking Up In Vegas he's tied with the best right now. he's ridiculously good.
+That's What You Get For Waking Up In Vegas he's tied with the best right now. he's ridiculously good.
+TLydon008 i didnt know who he was, i thought he was maybe a krampus expert. im glad you mentioned acting now ill be on the lookout and know its a good movie if hes in it.
Daniel day fucking lewis
I want to listen to Cristoph Waltz talk about absolutely everything.
As a German I know and love this tradition. We also have something similar that is called Knecht Ruprecht in Baden Württemberg where I live.
Jup, den kennt anscheinend keiner
Oh Great News Hello i From Brasil
Ich fand Knecht Ruprecht immer gruselig 😂😂
Yes, in Bavaria too. 😊
Nah, auch in Brandenburg werden den Kindern die Geschichten über Knecht Ruprecht erzählt. Zwar eher von der älteren Generation und er hat kein so großes Gewicht, aber man weiß immerhin, dass es ihn gibt. :D
Finally a man from Austria that I, as a fellow Austrian, am proud to watch having success wherever he goes. He's earned it. Great actor, sophisticated, charming and funny.
and he can talk in english :D
He really is.
I think it was rude of Jimmy and the audience to laugh like that when a man is try to explain his tradition or culture.
+ML8593wy a tradition is no joke dude
well I am from Austria, just like Waltz. and I can tell you, it isn't a joke at all. It is exactly like he says here in Austria.
i totally agree
+Bria Brown I thought it was only stupid. Rude would imply that they knew what they were doing and made a choice.
Nuuu itz nawt rude xD itz funnyyy xD
Greeting from austria c:
Hay Y'all....Christopher: "Oh, really." That sums it up for me.
Waltz is a very...Europeans classy kind of way. Hot damn..
I want to like this because Christoph Waltz was being absolutely charming and fascinating, but I also want to dislike because Fallon was being so bloody annoying.
It would have been better if Conan interviewed Waltz. Jimmy doesn't deserve him.
MelvilleReads on the flip side, Conan just made a skit with the Krampus
the issue is that fallon pays more attention to his audience than to his guests. this particular instance is especially cringey to watch cause mr. waltz is obviously an intellectual and unlike his interviewer actually has something interesting to say. instead of listening to his guests' responses fallon proceeds (much as expected) to lack any degree of conversational intuition, just idiotically parading around a stuffed elf designed to distract 4 year olds while exploiting waltz' culture for cheap laughs.
I'd die for this man 😌
why does Jimmy always try so hard to be funny? he wasted the time he had with Waltz
+raptor rodger by far the best response to this video I can see so far.
+raptor rodger I have always asked the same question. I do not see Fallon as a funny person. He's just a guy who moves excessively when he laughs and has 1 or 2 semi-funny lines. I guess he's the perfect replacement of Leno who was equally "funny".
+Evi1M4chine thank you. good to see this.
+Evi1M4chine "He’s very obviously a psychopath" what the actual fuck dude.. He meets and talks to entirely different personality's every fucking night.. He has to be nice and pleasant even if he gets nervous around some people who might not be as easy going, it is his damn job to do so.. Christoph seems to be someone who is not easily impressed nor easy to get a laugh out of..
I have seen much of Jimmys work and he is not a fucking psychopath... He fucking loves what he is doing, he loves it and we can see that he indeed loves it. You can't throw around such a strong and disturbed psychological disorders as psychopathy just because you think someone tries a bit harder to level with someone else... A full blown psychopath would not profess as a talk show host where you have to show emotions all the fucking time, do you even fucking know what psychopathy is?
wickedawesomehede superficial charm is an trait in psychopathy. In this case Jimmy hides his true personality.
I love psychology :)
Apparently someone watched this interview and then decided to make a fucking film about it!
+Parsa I doubt they did that after seeing this interview, unless you can find a source. Krampus has had some recent popularity in Western culture as of late, so it could just have been from all this exposure.
the trailer is out and the movie is called 'krampus'
+Parsa Pretty sure the production for the movie started before this interview. It takes a while to make movies.
the director has said that the movie has been in production for years.hes a big fan of the dark sides of holidays. if you ever get the chance watch,trick r treat,it's a great Halloween movie.
nope
I was able to see the Krampus parades in southern Germany many years ago when I was in the US Army, and it is a great tradition that the people are striving to keep alive for their children.
Love the voice of Christoph
You know, usually I read the comments on Jimmy's videos about his fake laughs and how he interrupts his guests but I never see his behaviour to be a bid deal. But after watching this video (HALF of the video, considering I could not get through it) I can now see that Jimmy does NOT understand that his immature jokes are sometimes inappropriate. Christoph Waltz is clearly a very talented, intelligent, and highly esteemed man and it would be nice to actually hear what he has to say instead of listening to Jimmy's attempt at childish humour. I feel the need to apologize to Christoph for Jimmy's behaviour. So embarrassing.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Waltz handed him a box of crayons and colorbook, after he pulled out the stupid doll... Interrupting him in the midst of a serious conversation.
You call that a serious conversation? Idiot.
I just love Christoph Waltz and Austria!
When he makes him get rid of the elf 😂
Just like can we talk as adults
I'm Austrian and I remember being pretty scared of Krampus when I was a kid.
I'm still scared.
Julia Sunshine me too
Wieso sprecht ihr miteinander englisch ihr Trottel
Gambit1984 Well, consider that most of your country is in the alps. That means that, until the 20th Century, you didn't get in or out of those valleys until spring. You didn't do your chores back then, there was a really good chance that you and/or someone in your family would *die* over the winter.Pretty much explains why Krampus and the other Perchten were so harsh in their punishments. Because the reality of what nature would do to you was much, *much* worse.[Das ist also was mein Mann mir erzaehlt hat. ;)]
indaco anonimo weil wir's können? :D
I loved him in Django Unchained. Dr. King Schultz was my favorite character.
I'm from Hungary, we have the same tradition as Austria.
I wanted to hear what Waltz was going to say about Freud and how it all intertwined with Krampus or Austrian traditions and customs !!
I'm from Austria and this is normal for me, we are raised with this. Strange how the cultures differ here, with that puny elf lol.
I live in the city and here the Krampusses also have a parade and hit people a little bit, sometimes more than a little bit, but it's nowhere close to what happens in the mountainous regions ^^
Maybe some Americans find it strange but this is tradition to us and I like it! ;)
Also I can tell you, with the Krampus in mind I was being the best kid possible around December ^^
Carinthian mountanious regions born and raised... Oh what fun it was to tease those who were the Krampus, then run away with up to 10 of them chasing behind. If you got caught you got slapped pretty hard, but if you got away you would just sign up for another "hunt" :-D ...
Babagump One time I got slapped so hard.. I never tried it again.. :'D
gotta run faster ;-)
Had bruises all over my legs, red stripes from the horsetail hits in the face, everything hurt... but it was so much fun to "hunt" them down. :D
This is probably one of jimmy's first guests who actually wanted to have a serious interview and not just blindly laugh at whatever. Also, what Christoph was talking about, that reminded me of what Dwight did near the end of The Office with that impish or admirable guy. Haha except I think what Dwight was talking about was Dutch.
Jimmy, stop making Americans look like simpletons.
-signed, an American.
We know the difference between american people and a talkmaster who's obviously paid for being what he is: simple :) everything's okay here :) best wishes from overseas to you.
-signed, a German
Your profile picture is literally an Austrian flag...
@@bernhard4764 the flag of the Hanseatic League, so close. An alagmation of German speaking states and territories of yore. But yes the flag is of German speaking origin. Just an American proud of German heritage. And not wanting to be viewed as some dolt by the world. Take that for what it is lol but no country should be made a mockery of any kind. Idk just my humble opinion.
@@PAGGIE9111 That is interesting. Thanks for the explanation.
I absolutely don't see you as a Trottel.
Doesn't have to try hard
Cristoph Waltz must be the sexiest over 60 years old man i've ever seen.
Seeing a Krampus parade is in my bucket list ;)
+Beartallica86 u should man :) im a Krampus myself and its most fun of the year ! :D
+Beartallica86 Highly recommend. Look for Krampus parades (aka "Perchten") in Upper Austria or in Lower Bavaria, they usually have very, very impressive parades with beautifully crafted costumes. It really is a sight to see.
+rubyherring Sounds awesome! But I might need a translator with me haha!
+Beartallica86 And you have to be careful, one of those krampus guys tried to steal the hat of my friend xD
They are amazing, Totally worth it
I fucking love Christoph Waltz. What a cool guy.
I love the ongoing interaction between the two. Every interview is gold.
Krampus really does creep me out. I really like the grim nature of their tales. Its so weird that it scares me but i still find it intriguing and still look more into it.
Everything Waltz says sounds smart and mysterious
Does Fallon interrupt all of his guests?
each and every single one of them!!!
Proud to be Austrian 🇦🇹
This man is delightful. I adore him.
In Germany Knecht Ruprecht helps St. Nikolaus, but he is nowhere near as scary as Krampus. Check out videos here or google it...the masks are awesomely horrifying. As far as I know, the closest thing to Krampus happens in the southwest corner of Germany where there's a tradition of wearing masks and costumes during Fasnet (Mardi Gras). Every little town has their own masks and costumes. As a kid it's beyond exciting to be part of this for a week each year.
We also have Knecht Ruprecht in Austria, I remember Krampus the be more of St. Nikolaus antagonist, that's also why they come on different days.
Christian Tsches Don't forget the Perchten :D
he still wacks naughty children with his sack of coals/ashes =)
but yes here in north germany we have knecht ruprecht. i think krampus is only present in bavaria (speaking about germany)
Northern bavarian here, we had Krampus when I grew up. But at some point Knecht Ruprecht became "more polpular", not quite sure when or why that happend. Ohh, but recently I was at my local Supermarket and they sold Milka St. Niklaus and Krampus, thought that was pretty great, needless to say I bought one :D
Jakob Horvath haha would've bought a whole krampus army to rule all of christmas=)
but i'm not a christma guy so that's no surprise
i'm austrian, and this was the first time i could laugh about "krampus" ! but only because of this "HEY Y'ALL!" shit. i'm 19 and still get panic attacks when i see a or even hear a krampus.
+Alicia Polczer Geht mir auch so. Ich komm aus Oberbayern. Wir sind für immer traumatisiert. :(
+Alicia Polczer In Osttirol ist es noch ziemlich gleich gleich geblieben wie früher. Ich komme von da und habe in anderen Bundesländern zugesehen und muss dir recht geben. Denn Krampuslaufen bei uns ist sehr aggressiv da sich man freiwillig zu den Krampussen begibt und mit ihnen kämpft und sich gegenseitig auf den Boden wirft. Oder man setzt sich hinter den Tisch und macht beim Tischziagn mit. Mein Absolutes Lieblingsfest! :D
Ja schon ein bisschen aber man muss dabei sein um zu sehen wie viel spaß es macht ;)
+Alicia Polczer Traumatized for life, but I'm going to see the movie for sure.
+Alicia Polczer Krampus is fake bruh
as an austrian this is so fun to watch
So satisfying to see how Waltz handled Jimmy, so elegant and polite
LOVED this interview... I can't believe more people have not heard of the Krampus. Hope now that Jimmy covered it, word spreads!
Merry Christmas! Frohe Weihnachten!
Maybe I am weird, but I think that Christmas elf doll is more scary and creepy than the Kampus...
Yes! I thought the same!.... The Eyes!
What Waltz was talking about is so normal to me :-) We just had krampuses here, the really scary ones, running through the village and trying to scare children. It's a whole Central European, Alpine region thing. Remember the original Grimm stories, they were not "and everyone lived happily ever after" :-)
Christoph was a true gift to this show!
Christoph Waltz......literally cringing throughout the hey yalls........
00:23 "that's not funny" ouch he does not mess around !
What did he say before that? I couldn't understand
I am so sorry for Christoph Waltz ... Jimmy calm that shit down...
my absolute favorite actor. what a classy man
If Jimmy was a Decepticon he'd be called Interruptron
Did anyone think this was Ellen from the thumbnail?
I happen to also thought of that when I saw the thumbnail for Peter Cetera - Glory Of Love. ;)
I was just thinking the same thing. haha. It looked exactly like Ellen.
omg YES! was not expecting anyone else to tho lol
Ahahaha, now I see it! :D Well I recognized him and that's why I clicked it, but I do see it now. :D
Totally!!!!
as a tyrolian i would say christoph waltz ,unlike a lot of austrians, is very polite precisely and a gentleman and you see the difference in humor between fallon and waltz. Waltz has the kind of humor wich gets produced by saying something very serious (also meant serious) but at the same time its fummy because its true but crazy. And fallon has the IQ 70 being drunk kind of humor.
Do people actually enjoy the host's humour?
i definitely do! i think he's great
+Mershell I like the red-hair guy but this one... he's a bit too hysterical (imo)
freshta
Conan is the red hair guy. I prefer him and other talk show hosts over Fallon. Compared to other hosts, Jimmy Fallon isn't that witty, smooth, or that great of an interviewer, but his "hysterical"personality somehow appeals to mainstream audiences. I never liked him on SNL either. Just too giggly, 1 dimensional, and awkward. (not the good kind of awkward like Conan) He seems like a silly kid, and not a sophisticated show host. I guess the reasons we dislike him are actually the reasons most people like him. They find him adorable. Plus his games with celebs are instant viral youTube fodder. He really owes his production team big time for saving his ass
100% perfect explanation. I have to keep it to myself how much I dislike him among my mainstream friends. They love him, and I don't get it.
I would have just shut up and listened to Waltz, sounds pretty interesting. Also members of the audience seemed a bit rude to Christoph.
Haha I love Waltz's descriptions of Austria, they are so true. We are very strict and always complaining, barely happy and if we are, we don't show it. We have wierd traditions which nobody has and are even proud of it. We generelly dont like other people but we seem to be very polite to them because we are double-dealer. Well, we are very cynical and sarcastic too, also mischievous. If other people are straitened, that makes us happy! But as I said, we wouldnt show it.
To shorten it, we are just a terrible people, without exception.
Not all of us are like this, but those who aren't, usually leave the country. ;) I have never considered myself to be a proper Austrian, simply bc I am not mischieveous, or cynical. I prefer the more "lenient" American tradition, in this sense. Naivete isn't always a bad thing, mind me. We should have more of it- it makes people better.
haha truuuue...but the old people are the worst when it comes to being rude.the most awkward thing is walking into a cafe in vienna and have all the old grandmas staring at you and complaing that teenagers are allowed to enter a cafe...ha ...but sarcasm is the best though
VitruvianVision naivete makes people better? no, thank you! i'll stay with cynicism and mischievousness then ;)
naive: "having or showing unaffected simplicity of nature or absence of artificiality." aka wearing no masks. makes people better. in the long run..and things much easier in the short run.
VitruvianVision haha me neither, I am too relaxed for being an Austrian but I think that I have a quite good sense of sarcasm :D
Bless your patience Christoph
From someone living in Austria, I can confirm Christoph Walz is the most austrian thing to come out of Austria in the history ever 😂
Hitler was Austrian.
Yes. And obviously you didn't understand the comment.
Respekt. Super englisch. Genauso gutes Deutsch. Christoph wir lieben dich
Christoph Waltz is a great actor. Jimmy, you don't really have to tell people that Krampus isn't made up. Some of us use our heads once in a while and know a few things.
When i was a Kid, i really was afraid of Krampus. I did hide below the Table when he was rattling with his Chain. ^^ (I was propably 4 or 5fe )
Le Daverix Me, too... I missed Nikolaus because I didn't want to come out from under the table
every year
Le Daverix I am German and we have no Krampus. But I was afraid of Santa Clause because he was so much taller than me and had a very deep voice. And he had a little golden book in which was written what we kids did bad in this year. So I hide behind my uncle
@@lukasbeck4421 austrians are german
@@rey6708 there was one guy who said the same. He was a pretty big dumbass
I live in Görlitz ,Germany and every year we drive to barvaria and we watch the Krampus parade!!!
Jimmy my man dont cut him off bro. It's entertaining to hear Waltz talk.
fucking proud to be an AUSTRIAN! We love you Christoph!
Ehrlich gesagt, wusste ich nicht, dass Christoph existiert, bevor ich das gesehen habe xD
xMariellaa shame on you.....
xMariellaa schäm dich!
xMariellaa Ehrlich gesagt, wusste ich nicht, dass Österreich existiert, bevor ich das gesehen habe xD
Troll detected ;-)
Every time i watch a video with Christoph in it, i watch all of them.
I've never had much of an urge to learn how to speak German more fluently than just the school basics, and I always regret it when I hear Mr Waltz speak.
Can't get over the fact that this man is actually 58 ... I have to say it this man is definitely the sexiest man in the whole fucking universe. 58 !!!! He looks like a god for fucks sake, fucking God of hotness
I agree, he's so talented, intelligent and soooo sexy. I'm in love with him He is just perfect !
Taylor Halders As a straight man (I think), I will say that man is one stunning male specimen. If he wanted to pay me to fuck him, I probably would.
Hot old men face off
Christoph Waltz > George Clooney
+Melanie Del Rey ughh if Christoph Waltz was my man ughhh he is so HOT
+Melanie Del Rey Christoph cause he's very very smart and a gentlemen. George Clooney is nothing special.
How about Al Pacino
Man of culture.
It's weird to me to see how people from other counrtries react to our tradition. To me the Krampus is the most normal thing ever. And the thing he mentioned with men dressing up in actuall wool, wearing big wooden masks and getting drunk and running through the village is not only a Krampus thing. We also have those creatures called "Perchten" who look nearly the same as the Krampus and there are like big events called "Perchtenlauf" (Perchten-run) where big groups of people put on wool suits and wear big wooden masks too and have like kind of a parade, I guess, where they go through the village or town at night and many people go there to watch them. It's an old ritual that in the past was used to chase away the winter and cold weather so the farmers could start planting again.
