German parents are very paranoid about their kids being „lazy“ for too long and if you have German parents you will be made to go on a SPAZIERGANG 😠 a couple times a week, where you walk around the forest or park or town for an hour. Like taking your dog out for a walk but without the dog. A beach is perfect for exercise , German parents will tell you, because of the frische Luft, and then you can cool off and enjoy the water.
My Oma, who is peak german. Instead of saying put on sunscreen or something like that, would say "dont forget to cream yourselves". In a very german accent. I just wanted that out on the internet.
My grandma is polish and her best friend was Hungarian. Them talking about wearing their thongs (flip flops) on the beach at their time share to avoid burning their feet. “Vee Verr lucky vee had owr tongs!!” But the image of two 80 year old Eastern European ladies in thongs on the beach is burned into my imagination lolll

my grandma was German, she was not shy, she laughed super loud and great sense of humor and very strong personality, she was a true matriarch of our family, she is missed for sure
Does it depend wether is from North or South though? I ve heard ppl from Hamburg saying that I believe in Munchen,not sure though,..ppl are more traditional colourfull and cheerfull overall.that half if Germany ppl are cold and colourless but they like the other half which is quite different
German here: Generally we have a different approach to interacting with strangers. In the south of germany people tend to be more cheerful and relaxed, but that does not mean you are the greatest pals ever. In the north people seem more closed off but once you get to know someone there is more "commitment" to the relationship. At least thats my experience but of course heavily generalized.
God why is this so accurate lmao, like not even the specific things she's saying just the *energy* and way she's saying it are EXACTLY the same as I've experienced with my german mom
The amount of restraint you must have to not blurt that out to them is commendable- we are from the Caribbean and there’s no holding that back for us 😂 “what chu mean, I’m exactly like you!”
Is it said like criticism? It's not like you can help it 😂 Not to mention it doesn't matter anyway, since physical attraction varies wildly, so no matter what size your "assets" are, someone is gonna think it's just perfect ❤
The mom in this skit is joking. She could be joking that her daughter inherited her own small breasts, or she could be joking that her daughter didn't inherit breasts that will cause back problems.

Soooo funny and accurate. My stepdad is German and his tone is exactly like this haha. Always asking what you're reading. One time vacationing in Rio, he just stepped into a soccer match at the beach. "Hallooo, I'm Hans, can I join you?". They were nice young guys and let him in. We now have priceless pictures of this 70-year old whitey showing off his skills to a team of tanned Brazilian gods. So much confidence.
@@MilesToGoGo awww thank you, he is! Fun fact: in his younger years he was so good at soccer he tried out to play in Bayern Munich! I think this was in the late 60s. He didn't make it, but he still loves playing.
These videos crack me up!! My childhood neighbors’ mom was a German immigrant and I remember the stark contrast between the parenting styles of her and my mom. They had a pond on their property (read a magnet for children who played outdoors) and she was so vigilant about it; no kid was drowning on her watch!! As kids, we thought she was a bit extreme, but we all patiently waited for her approval before we skated on that ice. So much fun was had at the pond, much to her chagrin. 😂
my british father always tries to “set me up” with strangers. he’ll start conversations with anyone and everyone and he thinks i want the same thing. like no i don’t want to have a 20 minute conversation with this random person at the gas station. he’s also tried to set me up with our waiters at restaurants before 🫠 makes me want to evaporate into the air.
Not really. He's just a safe way for white girls to try and appear virtuous. Outside of a few weirdos online, I've never heard about anyone crushing on him.
My new abstract painting teacher is German. Your posts have always been funny to me. Now, they are comforting. “I think this is not so good. Fix it. Don’t start over. Why don’t you have more paints?”

My grandma was German and this how she was my whole childhood. Every time we went to the beach-she always made the snacks ( she made the best potato salad) and would never step foot in the water and would always say we should be running/walking on the sand for exercise rather than playing in the water and when I would say at any time of day that I was hungry she would always say 'your always hungry-go play and you won't be anymore'. Goodness, I miss her.
@@rubbymcrubrub1369 lol I think because I was really overweight as a kid, so she was making sure I was really hungry and not just bored-which sadly I did a lot when I was young.

@@SamanthaP48 do you mean Germans, mothers, or people in general? Because I definitely have empathy for others, but I'm only half German so maybe the other half is doing me in
I’m always shocked to hear this about Germans. My mother was born and raised in Hamburg and came here at age 32 when she married my father. My father worked a lot so mom was my main influence. She was the best most sympathetic and “break the rules”mom one could hope for. I guess my mom was unique among Germans but she was the only German I knew, so I can’t compare.
I am not German But when they were little, if my kids had too much energy I would tell them to go outside and run laps around the house. 😂😂😂 They are 22 now and they still laugh about it too.
ok, it wasnt MY grandma, but my friends mum... i spent the summer with them and i could not stop giggling under my towel!!!! i had never met someone with such different "ways" about them ( i was only 8) but what a wonderful fun lady....ty for the memory!!!
I'm English, but I've met a few German people in the UK. Infact, I once worked with a middle aged German lady who acted exactly like this 😂. It's the bluntness and coldness haha, but they do have a good sense of humour!
I'm in Canada since 1959, born in Austria, age 67. I can totally relate to this yet all the while I thought it was just my mother like this! Her brother, my uncle, was even worse because he had a very wicked sense of humour and never was shy to share it (he stayed in Austria, unfortunately for us!)
I had a dear German friend tell me “stop that” after I complained of one of my migraines 😂 I was nauseous and needed to lie down in a dark room while I waited for my rescue med to kick in.. she told me I wouldn’t have another one if I just decided “I don’t have those anymore”! Looking back at how offended I was, watching your videos has explained EVERYTHING I needed to know in order to understand her🤣
My grandmother is German and she moved to the USA years ago, after WWII, but she never lost her very strong German accent. I loved the way she talked though. I learned German in college so I could converse in German with her. Sadly, she passed away 5 years ago but she was extremely healthy and brushed her teeth after everything she ate and drank. She still had her real teeth when she died and they were in really good shape. She lived to be 92 years old and never had any health problems. She ate healthy and use to dance. She said when she lived in Germany (during Hitler's reign of terror), that the youth were encouraged to live healthy lives.
Yes and no. This is certainly a type of "German mom" that exists, but by no means a standard. Based on my experience growing up, I would associate it with families that are more on the crunchy, uptight, and likely privileged side. That one friend where you would watch no TV, get the weird tasting organic version of Nutella for breakfast, they all play an instrument, and the furniture is all solid wood. Certain traits you'll find pretty much across the board, like bluntness, but even that can vary quite a bit in practice: tone, word choice, what they're being blunt about...
My mother was 100% German but born in the US. This is just spot on. I lost her in December and watching these videos reminds me of her so much. God bless 🙏❤

Your mother is my spirit animal.
The small detail of her saying “or what” at the end of her sentences…. Chef’s kiss, certified German moment oder was
GENAU!
She literally said that only once in this video
Now I know where the Afrikaans language borrowed that from. We sometimes say "of hoe?" at the end of sentences for no apparent reason.
Well, I'm fairly certain that came from Dutch and not German@@elzannenel4400

As a Canadian man married to a German woman I find this video series eerie and frighteningly accurate. LOL!
You Canadians really do love the Germans
Why are you taking our women ? Im german and live in canada but married to a phillipina 😂

@@samsimone3255God knows why. Canadians are so polite. Not that we Germans are generally rude and horrible (Germany actually places a lot of value on general politeness) but we are really far from being as friendly as Canadians...or americans...or countries south our border😂
"Laura,why don't you go running up and down the beach 10 times? That'd be good" I lost it 😂.
"Go run up and down the beach" was totally my Mom too! love this
That’s 💯 a typical German mum 😅
A true classic 😂 run back and forth 10 times = energy levels decrease = easier to tolerate, that’s the whole thought process 😂
I did this when I was small. My mother was not German. She was unimpressed.

She sounds amazing. So sorry for your loss ❤
Sounds like a...good person
@@Ajcarter95i don’t see the point of this comment. clearly it’s a person fondly remembering their mom who was a lil sassy and you’re just being weird and insincere. like obviously you’re not calling her a good person or think that with those little periods. weird. quit projecting onto random peoples parents just do put them down when someone is clearly grieving. clearly you have no space to judge what’s good or not. cause ur not.
Easier with that kind of attitude than with million fake I love yous, and no help or understanding ever, off you go out of “my” house!!! But remember I love you - it’s called tough love!!! 😂 German straight talk much preferred!
I am black and we lived in Germany for many years from the 70s through to late 80s and my mum used to take hours to do the shopping because every shop keeper would want to give me a cuddle and then give her ham or sweets for me, their accent makes them sound very authoritative but their hearts are good and they have a wicked dry sense of humour ❤
Your story sounds very interesting!
That was in the past. No more samples. No more positive interaction. It's all forced and if it isn't, it certainly feels like it.
@@glurak888 what? I don't know where you live but my kids get samples or sweets everywhere.. The supermarket, the vegetable store, even the library.... And everyone is talking to us all the time. But maybe if depends on where you live

Germans don’t have a sense of humor
There's just SO MUCH perfection here!
I've just decided that this is a very creative trailer and that now I want to watch the film.
I usually don't got for this genre but I'm won over.
And I hope there's copious amounts of Idris Elba in it. Not him in the movie, just many things centered around him.
Maybe a love story between German mom and Idris? Looked like that's where she was headed when her nap dreams kicked in at the end! 😂
Please someone finance this movie.
I want to watch this movie
I saw this video weeks ago and the way “your mom” says idris Elba has been stuck in my head. I randomly say Idris Elba in a German woman’s accent to myself multiple times throughout the day now. Idris elbaaaa
Please this is based!! Literally zoned into that pronunciation and started to repeat it in my brain.😅
Honestly thoooo 😂😂😂 she ain’t wrong I be thinkin about that man too 🤣🤣🤣

Stop trauma dumping in random comment sections. Shut the fuck up and watch the video
I pray God blesses you. God loves you. “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 (NLT) . These are the words of Jesus. Whether you are a believer or not when you come to Him, He will forgive your sins and give you joy for all your crying and the times you have mourned. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave[a] his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. God bless you!

Does it depend wether is from North or South though? I ve heard ppl from Hamburg saying that I believe in Munchen,not sure though,..ppl are more traditional colourfull and cheerfull overall.that half if Germany ppl are cold and colourless but they like the other half which is quite different
German here: Generally we have a different approach to interacting with strangers. In the south of germany people tend to be more cheerful and relaxed, but that does not mean you are the greatest pals ever. In the north people seem more closed off but once you get to know someone there is more "commitment" to the relationship. At least thats my experience but of course heavily generalized.
@@Revia21Northern German here, it is true, when you generalize our behavior. 😂

These videos crack me up!! My childhood neighbors’ mom was a German immigrant and I remember the stark contrast between the parenting styles of her and my mom. They had a pond on their property (read a magnet for children who played outdoors) and she was so vigilant about it; no kid was drowning on her watch!! As kids, we thought she was a bit extreme, but we all patiently waited for her approval before we skated on that ice. So much fun was had at the pond, much to her chagrin. 😂
That little shoulder wiggle with "What is the song of the Summer?"
My extroverted German mother constantly engaging with and trying to engage me with strangers is probably what made me an introvert.
I'm so envious at how self-assured Germans are. My sister and her family are Norwegian, and they're similar.
my british father always tries to “set me up” with strangers. he’ll start conversations with anyone and everyone and he thinks i want the same thing. like no i don’t want to have a 20 minute conversation with this random person at the gas station. he’s also tried to set me up with our waiters at restaurants before 🫠 makes me want to evaporate into the air.

My grandma was German and this how she was my whole childhood. Every time we went to the beach-she always made the snacks ( she made the best potato salad) and would never step foot in the water and would always say we should be running/walking on the sand for exercise rather than playing in the water and when I would say at any time of day that I was hungry she would always say 'your always hungry-go play and you won't be anymore'. Goodness, I miss her.

@@SamanthaP48 do you mean Germans, mothers, or people in general? Because I definitely have empathy for others, but I'm only half German so maybe the other half is doing me in

I’m always shocked to hear this about Germans. My mother was born and raised in Hamburg and came here at age 32 when she married my father. My father worked a lot so mom was my main influence. She was the best most sympathetic and “break the rules”mom one could hope for. I guess my mom was unique among Germans but she was the only German I knew, so I can’t compare.
The sum scream and tankpong killed me!!😂😂😂
Love this. Reminds me of my German mum. 'Make sure you put it on your ears.'

My grandmother is German and she moved to the USA years ago, after WWII, but she never lost her very strong German accent. I loved the way she talked though. I learned German in college so I could converse in German with her. Sadly, she passed away 5 years ago but she was extremely healthy and brushed her teeth after everything she ate and drank. She still had her real teeth when she died and they were in really good shape. She lived to be 92 years old and never had any health problems. She ate healthy and use to dance. She said when she lived in Germany (during Hitler's reign of terror), that the youth were encouraged to live healthy lives.
Not German but my Filipino mama does do the “go run, up and down” to me when we’re anywhere 😭
She had me at "I love Idris Elba" 😂
This explains SO much about my German mom. I thought her personality was just a little harsh and difficult. It's cultural! 😂😂😂
Man, my mom is not German, but after watching Laura's vids, I swear she must be...
Yes and no. This is certainly a type of "German mom" that exists, but by no means a standard. Based on my experience growing up, I would associate it with families that are more on the crunchy, uptight, and likely privileged side. That one friend where you would watch no TV, get the weird tasting organic version of Nutella for breakfast, they all play an instrument, and the furniture is all solid wood.
Certain traits you'll find pretty much across the board, like bluntness, but even that can vary quite a bit in practice: tone, word choice, what they're being blunt about...
