Приколы
Struwwelpeter actually was one of my favorite books as a kid. I didn't realize how brutal it was back then; but now I see that it is quite terrifying :D
For anyone who doesn't know the book, it includes stories about:
- A child who didnt want to eat his soup and ends up starving to death
- A boy who had a habit of sucking his thumb all the time and then gets them cut off (that's what you see at 1:14)
- A girl who played around with matches and then her dress catches fire and she burns to death
and so on.
So it's the German version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark?
For some reason, Disney never wanted to acquire the rights...
I really can't accept this. Just my opinion.
Rob K. No it’s a book to tell children who are acting bad to show what happens to kids who act bad. Like 3 white kids make fun of a black kid the 3 kids get dipped in ink.
@@Ben-rt5jt Uh I am pretty sure some could say that the book could be classified under Horror NOT Educational.
It's funny how no german here says that he doesn't know the Struwwelpeter.
Literally every german knows this book xD
Yep flula of course a picture book is called "cartoon"
@@Zetsuke4 well you can kinda call it an early comic
Because it is german culture. Something America has a lack of.
@@maddias291 Why are you insulting america?
Of course they have a lack of german culture ;) (sry that was a bad joke)
I mean, maybe there is a lack of culture, idk, but it has nothing to do with the comments here
@@maddias291 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Inaccurate. The last picture is from the struwelpeter book but it is from the story of the boy who sucked his thumbs.
seems like an excessive punishment for thumb-sucking
@@93johnk Yeah, but he will not do it again. Muahahaha ...
@@93johnk how do people always manage to bring online discussion on a political level?
There are comments about a weird german children's book and suddenly someone wants to discuss about refugees. I don't see the connection and the comment was very out of place. (This has nothing to do with my political opinion, just with my opinion about discussing politics on RUclips comments and even more about the evident need for some people to write about this on the internet, no matter what the topic is)
@@93johnk No it's not! There is no better way than teaching your child by telling him if he doesn't stop sucking you gonna chop of his goddamn thumbs. :D
Sounds like you should do a Fan Corrections submission.
Struwwelpeter and the boy getting his fingers cut off are two different stories/persons.
Same book tho...
MEINE SUPPE ESS ICH NICHT
It’s little suck-a-thumb who gets his thumbs cut off...not Struwwelpeter. Tsk!
Struwwelpeter‘s just in the cover
Thats right !The other Boy got his Fingers cut because he sucked on it all the Time 😂
For some reason Disney never wanted to acquire the rights...
David Levi It would make a good horror movie for Blumhouse.
😂Not violent enough for Disney. LOL
It's like Red Asphalt, but targeted to elementary school kids.
The parents have to die for Disney to be interested.
I could imagine Tim Burton making a movie about it.
Flula is one the few guests who engages with both Conan and Andy. He doesn't side-line him. He's a good boy. I love this german fella.
As a German teen who grew up with these and still loving it. I can say that Struwwelpeter didn't get his thumbs cut of. He was pretty much the only one who didn't die a gruesome death. Just all people were disgusted by him.
Thank you for understanding that. - Someone who rewrote half these stories so that they lack the gruesome deaths
yeah, the story right after that mentions a boy who was a complete menace to everyone around him till a dog ate him or just ate his lunch, as far as i remember, pretty much the rest of the children died except for the inky boys who got inked
Btw. nobody knows Flula Borg in germany... ;)

The German accent hurt my ears but I Wanted to know how Americans would react to my childhood Traumas
Same🤦♀️😂
Omg so my ex who is quite a bit older than me told me about that book. That his little brother insisted on choosing Struwwelpeter from a book fair catalog at school and pestered their mom to read it to them. He told me his mom was shocked and only got through Suckathumb before cutting storytime short...no pun intended 😆
Consequently after hearing him tell it, I had to see it for myself. My 27yr old self laughed my @$$ off at the story and the others (btw the girl who played with the matches was MY fave!🤣) HOWEVER, the sensible part of me was like WOWWWW! That stuff was for real a book targeted to little kids. I'm not sure how well I would've recovered if I'd been, say, 7yrs old🤯🤯🤯
Now I also had a Swiss German client at the time and she's super mild mannered and very emotionally concious so of course I HAD to ask her if she'd heard of the book and what she thought....she was shaking her head and saying it was traumatizing. All the while I'm laughing because I'm *that* weirdo but MAN did this book make a lasting impression on so many scarred people. P.S: Mind you, Coraline was my absolute favorite movie to go to sleep to for about a good 5yrs, that and the Brothers Grimm! GRIMMIES!☺️☺️☺️
But if you had already read the (already less gruel) fairytales collected by the brothers Grimm you shouldn't have been that surprised by the Struwwelpeter. There is no good German children story without the evil person cutting their own heels off, being forced to dance themselves to death in shoes made of glowing iron, burned alive in their own oven, being cut open, stuffed with stones, sewn back together and tossed into a well, etc.. German lullabies are waaaaay scarier. One goes "sleep kiddie sleep. Your father is in war. Your mother stayed in Pommerland, Pommerland has been burned down. Sleep kiddie sleep." Or of course my great grandma's favourite "(...) Tomorrow morning, if it pleases god, you might be awoken once more".
@@boahkeinbockmehr I believe that's "Maikäfer flieg" you're referring to?
I'm loving the accent 😂
"I am very accurate with my clippies" - Flula Borg, 2019.
@Carol Spencer He's like a squirrel on speed. I find it hilarious when he is at Conan's show. But elsewhere, no thanks.
I think Flula mistook "cartoon" for "comic", I don't think anyone made these as cartoons.
You know that "cartoon" is short for "animated cartoon" right? "Cartoon" is just the name for non-realistic or sem-realistic drawing.
@@nivolord Okay that's true but I believe Conan thought it was an animated cartoon.
The term is often confused in Germany.
flula said "zeichentrickfilme" tho - which are "animated cartoons" ... i think they just pretended it was a cartoon on purpose lol.
starfox300 kind of sad that no one animated them but I guess they would be FSK 18 nowadays 😹
We need more Flula please
Flula is always charismatic and i love how he interacts with both Conan and Andy always...Never change Flula never ever brother...
It's a simple rule of conversation . You get more attention if you look to every person around for about 2-3 seconds when you say something. It also wont let the people get the feeling of being excluded
Well, the Struwwelpeter contains an anti-racism story and it was published at a time when the US was still full on the whole slavery thing.
Also Flula mixes up his facts. Those two pictures were from totally unrelated stories.
Es ging spazieren vor dem Tor, ein kohlrabenschwarzer Mohr
this is an anti-racism story indeed
@@thie1161 I can't remember this one, what is the name of the story?
@@thie1161 Using a now very racist term that was rather normal back in the 1840s is a different thing than the protagonist of this story literally dipping racist kids into ink because they made fun of the black kid.
"Da kam der große Nikolas
Mit seinem großen Tintenfaß.
Der sprach: „Ihr Kinder, hört mir zu
Und laßt den Mohren hübsch in Ruh’!
Was kann denn dieser Mohr dafür,
Daß er so weiß nicht ist, wie ihr?“
or in english
"There came the big Nikolas
with his big inkpot
and said "children, listen to me. leave him be. it's not his fault he's not as white as you."
@@thie1161 I found it.
Actually it seems very anti racist to me
@@currykingwurst6393 times are changing and we are changing too, the semantics differs in the time
Isn't this what Dwight Schrute read to the kids on an episode of the office?
That was Belsnickel.
No it wasnt. That was the Christmas episode.
Rebecca O'Sullivan 😂😂 thank you for this witty comment and for reminding me of that great episode.
@@Legomer_McGoat That was later. I am thinking of the episode "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day."
@@Legomer_McGoat "The Office references the book in Season 2, Episode 18: "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" (2006). Dwight Schrute reads The story of Johnny head-in-the-air and The story of the thumb sucker to the children, but is interrupted by a horrified Michael Scott."
"Der Friederich der Friederich der war ein arger Wüterich." Das ist immer noch die tollste Geschichte meiner Meinung nach.

As german i can confirm: Yes it is true!
Except for the "all the time, every Monday" part.
For those too lazy/scared to look it up: The Struwwelpeter is a *historical* illustrated childrens' book from mid 19th century Germany, and a product of its time. An early example of what we today call "edutainment". Surprisingly to some, the book also contains *anti-racist* lessons as well... though those, too, are conveyed in a grossly politically incorrect manner by today's standards.
I wonder how the Nazis could have ever come to existence! O_o
@@DamianReloaded Just have a look at current affairs in the US and you get an idea how nazi ideology could rise in a society...
No it's not. Struwwelpeter was only mocked for looking like this. The kid that got his fingers (only the thumbs, tho) cut off kept sucking on them.
Is it possible that if this kind of scary but teacheable tales is one of the reasons Germans are generally so well organized?
Flula is the real life Borat!
more like the real life brüno
@@thomasdewever lol
bruno you mean
*cough cough* he’s acting *cough*
Chris Allen he's manic AF. He animated.
Along with Grimm's Märchen and Max and Moritz probably the most famous German educational book.
Not just from artistical point of view imo a lot more worthy than most of the pseudo-suitable for children books or plastic stuff you can get these days.
In addition to Max and Moritz. Loved those stories as well.
I love Flula! My old principal in Germany is Flula’s dad, Flula used to help teach the drama department sometimes!
Cara that’s cool. Must’ve been a great time being one of flula’s students 😂
I can definitely see him adding a lot of drama to that class. :D
My mom read this book to me, and it was one of the first books I read. I didn't thought it to be scary or cruel as a kid. It was just "bad things happen to bad people". Which unfortunately is a lie.
Conan acts like he’s never seen these pictures or heard about these German cautionary tales while he’s discussed these with Tatiana Maslany in 2014. It’s like the exact same interview
its been 5 years
Ikr, kinda bothered me lol
“They’re designed to terrify you and then correct your behaviour” 🤣🤣🤣
How about correcting the behavior of the actual characters, like I did in my version?
That was legit one of my childhood books, I was born in 1992.
Or Max&Moritz, 2 young boys behaving badly and getting the consequences (like trying stealing bread from the bakery, but falling into the dough and then getting baked into bread)
Teakwondo Chest I had it too, and when my parents got rid of it I bought a copy of it with both English and German
Fun fact: on the cover of the book it says "funny stories and droll pictures". I'm not joking.
To this day I think of Pauline and her cats from the Struwwelpeter book dying in a fire, whenever people think it is funny to play with fire.
German Horror Story. Netflix where you at?
I mean, it *is* funny (and the pictures are droll). Probably not to most of the rest of the world, but I liked those stories.
I mostly found them funny too, I was always laughing at those stories. Like "why would anybody even do these stupid things in the first place?" that's what I've always been thinking, reading the stories, knowing they are meant to teach children.
"Netflix where you at?" Ooooh that would really make a great, super-dark limited series in a modern context, if done right.
the cats don't die though. They mourn about Pauline at the end of the story
I did a rewrite of that story where no one dies.
“The door flew open, in he ran / The great, long, red-legged scissorman.” - That picture was also in Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol comics!
Hahaha, I hope that is who James Gunn cast him as in Suicide Squad.
Bauz! da geht die Türe auf,
Und herein in schnellem Lauf

Here in Finland Struwwelpeter is known as "Jörö-Jukka".
In Croatia is "Janko Raščupanko" 😂
As a German it makes me very proud that this piece of German literature is so well known internationally :O I know the "Max & Moritz" stories by Wilhelm Busch were popular in different languages too but had no idea the Struwwelpeter book was as well.
Tell them the story of Max und Moritz😂
Max and Moritz would rather qualify as an early cartoon (1865). Drawings and texts by the author himself. With the text still more important (with some outstanding phrases which made it into everyday's German) than the drawings however. Dark humor, but at least humor. And like in later cartoons the characters survive a deadly incident before their final unrealistic end. As a boy loving also pranks which not always worked out as well as planned, I already realized the autobiographic character of the first stories. Albeit I stopped on the maybug level. Thus Max and Moritz never scarred me.
Struwwelpeter is just an illustrated "children book". With the most common illustrations added only some years after it was published. Didn't like it because no interesting stories, no humor - and front up educational. But I wasn't really scared. Didn't like the punishment of Konrad (the thumb sucker) as ways over the top. About the other stories I did not care much.
Today I can connect nearly every story told with one or more real persons. That's rather scary. But not the fault of H. Hoffmann.
But the cutting of the fingers story wasn't about Struwwelpeter. It was about a kid who used to suck on it's fingers.
Correct.
The good old story about the girl who played with fire is also nice! We have this big ol' book with all the old stories in it, my mom used to read from it to my sister and I and I fully plan to read it to my kids. Good times.
Yo when Andy said the name is German... I want him to do a German Audiobook now for some reason
Andy's surname is German too. _Richter_ means judge in German.
andy is of german and swedish descent
Conan talked about this before with Tatiana Maslany and she told the storys right Stuwwelpeter didn't get his fingers gut of the boy who sucked his thumbs did.
His name is Konrad.
@@maddias291 Correct. I was put off by them combining the two stories as well. Signed, someone who rewrote nine of the ten stories to make them happier.
fun fact: in Germany barely anyone knows flula
I'm curious, why is every german in the comment section saying the same thing? Who even claimed he was famous in germany? The guy hasn't lived there in ages. It's either this or that the accent is fake, WE KNOW IT'S AN ACT.
Ve it’s becouse he gets advertised as famous German RUclipsr when you look him up
But he should be. Germany is wasting his talent!
Jay Joshi nah not really we got better talents 😄
Wie wer bruder?
Hey flula, you forgot Max & Moritz who die in a Mill👀
Lorenz Albrecht my favorite when I was a kid
Those a**holes had it coming, though... 😡
We had that book as well. Im born in 97, still can remember all the stories and i have to ask my partens why they bought this book. :D
...my reaction just now was 'huh, kids' (or something, my mind didn't flesh out the thought) but then I realized.. you're not that young.. I'm just old... :P XDD
Struwwelpeter - that's the book they always give as a present to new parents among their friends (who are not Germans, because every German household has one already)
Can confirm.
Me too!!
Can confirm
I did some rewrites with relatively happier endings.
Happy endings? 🤭
Who is this? And why is his accent so fake? (I'm german ...)
justanother fangirl he’s a comedian an this is his joke
Very true his accet is fake. Germans have a far worse accent especially those from berlin. Horrifying
hes like a borat character but german
@@bloodybutterfly7113 hahaha good one! "Germans" from Berlin 😂🤣😂😂
His accent isn’t fake he’s from Bayern and I’m pretty sure he just exaggerates it a lot for comedic effect
My German nanny gave me that book when I was a kid! I loved it. I was also really into Grimm's Fairytales, Anderson, and Russian folklore so these twisted adventures about proper etiquette and behavior were right up my alley, lol. The only other book with artwork about as transfixing/disturbing as Struwwelpeter was from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Now that stuff really creeps into your dreams at night!
My grandma used to read me this Story as a bedtime story when I stayed over at my grandparents house as a child. This story and Max and Moritz, which is also quite brutal looking back at it now, were my favorite bed time stories.
I loved these stories so much as a child. They didn't scar me in any way and it didn't really register to me how dark and brutal these stories were until i read them again as a teen.
As a child i didn't realize how scary it was. It was not a cartoon, it was a picture book and i loved it.
Greetings from Germany.
holy balls... my mom had this minibook with that cover and there were many many many short stories inside of it... and yeah they were all TERROR levels...and there was a picture that they didn't show here which was the same cover but with the guy having all of his fingers cut off and a sad face. Also there was ANOTHER one of some1 who would eat a lot of soup and be strong but then stop taking soup and would ended up being skinny and skinnier over time until you turn the page and you see the actual grave with the soup in front of it.
Man they were DARK.
I made (ahem) lighter versions.
i, as a person from cologne, can say we don’t speak like conan did 😂
xjxoxsxc ? Very true xD
Sometimes I feel like he is from a different germany
are you here since 2015 ?
@@soundofeighthooves what do you mean with here?
@@soundofeighthooves dude you are defending him under every comment but its just true nobody knows him😂
I mean, considering how German culture works, he straight up might be 😂😂 He was apparently born and raised in Erlangen, which is in Bavaria, more exactly Franconia. I live not far from there and I can actually relate to a lot of the things he talks about (also in other videos).
just for accuracy: this is a folklore tale from aroun 1840ish and people in these days belived scareing childrin would help to behave properly.
the author heinrich hoffmann was also pretty "sick" for modern understantment. its known he put at least one of his kids in some kind of "caagechair" (for lack of a better englisch word)
to correct his posture and stop him from moveing arround to much (its believed it was ADS but not known at that time).
pretty dark times to be honest XD
Every culture treated their children fairly brutally pre-20th century, not just the Germans. Kid's stories reflected that fact as well. If you read any of the fairytales from 18th or 19th century American culture ( Appalachians or Ozark for example) many of them would qualify for horror stories by today's standards.
As a little kid I hated to cut my nails (age 3 or smth) one week my grandmother had to look after me and as always I refused her attempts to cut her nails.
So, she showed me this book duct taped my hands and went to the kitchen getting a big scissors.
This was literally the last time I ever refused getting my nails cut.
But I still remember the fear
hello from germany, our whole country is terrifying, yet again I might add.
CHUUMPASS No more than most other countries at the moment.
Na, most of the western fairy tales have their origins in just as horrific tales... Only hollywood has watered them down and the majority of people have forgotten. Here's a few just as an example
The Pied Piper.
Little Red Riding Hood.
The Little Mermaid.
Snow White.
Sleeping Beauty.
Rumpelstiltskin.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Hansel and Gretel.
All horrific stories if you go to the source material...
@@maxnaz47 Most of the Western Fairy tales come from Germany.
Too funny. Although the story with the tailor cutting the boys thumb off was due to him sucking his thumb after his mother told him to stop. She warned him not to suck his thumb while she was gone or the tailor would come by and cut his thumbs off. Struwwelpeter is written by a psychologist (I believe) and the stories are based on teaching morals. My favorite was the one with the dog biting the man and Nikolas dunking the kids into ink because they made fun of a black child. It is honestly a great book and hardly scary for children.
Conan, ive found an error. There are two different tales. "Struwelpeter" and "Daumlutscher Bub"! Got ya Conan, Now ive got ya!
I cant keep a straight face for one second watching Flula.. That guy is seriously funny! One of the funniest, unique Germans ive ever seen. And i live along the German border in the Netherlands, so i see ALOT of Germans all the time. They say Germans dont have a sense of humor, well i present you Flula Borg!
I think Germans are misunderstood and tend to have more of a dry humor. This guy's straight up wacky funny though.
I thought Germans only knew how to dig holes on the beach. At least that's what they always do in my area (Zeeland).
Saw *Flula Borg*
*Never clicked so fast in my life.*
really? I was 28 seconds in, but this dude's accent is obnoxious, can't take it another minute.
I'm 36 but Flula scares me more than this book ever did.
big time!
You should google “die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug“ its from the same book and tells us why not to play with fire. Spoiler: the girl is burning to ashes. Fun fact: The Rammstein Song “Hilf mir“ is rammsteins version of the poem.
This dude has to be playing polka dot man in Suicide Squad 2. His suit even sells it! He'd look great in polka dot man's outfit
We had that book in Serbia too. It's title was translated to "Janko Raščupanko".
Sounds even more terrifying.
I want to see them talk about max und moritz
I got the book Struwwelpeter from my grandparents when I was six and I loved that book! They aren't all bad stories! Yes they terrify you but only so you won't do it.
I never sucked my thumb so no guy with giant scissors came to cut em off.
I didn't play with matches and I didn't Burn down and made cats cry because I was burning so bright. I always ate my soup and food and didn't starve to death after 5 days.
Very useful book, I tell you that
How about fidgeting on your chair, looking at the sky as you walk, or going outside in a big, dangerous storm?
I love Struwwelpeter! Scared the hell outta me as a kid.
My 4yo brother knew the stories by heart. My father just had to read the first word and my brother could finish the sentence. A wonder that he´s not grown being a complete psychoptah today.
In israel its a kids classics as well, "Wild joshua", but in our version they clip his nails by force.
CaponeXX was gonna say that
Omg I’ve been waiting soo long for a new interview with flula!!!
My mom read this to me all the time and would reference the tales as a warning. We still talk about it to this day. I remember telling my friends and they had no idea and just gave me this very puzzled, disturbed look lol.
I remember many of those stories from my childhood. Yes, even the one he's talking about.
Today I’m 19. I remember my dad and my grandparents showing me this when I was like 4 😂 but my nails are on fleek
Suppenkasper is pretty brutal as well. But tbh as a kid I didn't really thought they were as frightening as I think they are now 😂
I hated that book so much and at 21 I am still too afraid to look at it again to see if it's still scary
Just wait til he tells Conan the original Cinderalla Story. You know, with the cut off toes and the doves picking out eyes...
That's the thing though, so many of the western fairy tales are also based on horrific events or tragedies, they've just become so watered down by hollywood that no one remembers... The Pied Piper.
Little Red Riding Hood.
The Little Mermaid.
Snow White.
Sleeping Beauty.
Rumpelstiltskin.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Hansel and Gretel.
Just to name a few... If people looked up the real stories, they would shocked...
All the time, every Monday 😁
I love how he involves Andy. BTW nice pronunciation, Andy. If you'd do a Struwwelpeter audio book it would be an instant hit lol
Konrad, sprach die Frau Mama, ich geh aus und du bleibst da.
Who doesn´t know that sweet poem that could be a script to a Tarantino movie?
I know the book (I’m German), but I have no idea who the guy (guest) was. Never heard or seen him before.... guess I’m old
You should check out his channel. He's hilarious!
Kenn den auch nur von den Conan Videos...Noch nie von dem vorher gehört :D
He's just famous for being german in the US. Nobody knows him here in Germany.
Ich hab immernoch Angst vorm Struwwelpeter und das Buch ist steht immernoch in meinem Zimmer 😅😅
Verständlich, ich hatte damals auch schlimme Alpträume von diesem Buch. Danach bekam ich nur noch lustige Taschenbücher zum lesen 😁
So soll es ja auch sein!
Lol at some point Conan just says “Strudelpeter” which is him mixing up Strudel (pastry) and Struwelpeter (the character)
I was reading the story of Max and Moritz while we were eating at a restaurant. The pictures anf ending of the story was so disturbing for me that i could not eat something anymore.
This dude makes me want to learn German, he makes it sound delightful.
Alhaji Bah it is delightful,but this idiot is an embarrassment for Germany,a pompous clown,with fake accent.just laughable.and nobody gives horses ass about him in our country,but Americans love Germans who talk with dumb accent.
@@martintimmer8574 ur 100% right not a single german talks like this since the 50s anymore. Its embarrasing to see a fellow german talk like that i feel ashamed actually :/
its true omg, i was almost over it...
I literally have an old clock hanging on my wall with that exact image on it. He's not lying.
My 7th-grade German teacher read these to us in the 70's! I own the book now. I picked it up on sale in Frankfort! You have to see "Max und Moritz Der Struwwelpeter".
There are indeed quite many such stories in German. The others in the Struwwelpeter book, Max and Moritz or other old German fairy tales (the original not the *bleeeeeep* toned down disney versions)
Pretty much every of these has someone dying a gruesome death and some people call them horrible, but I grew up with em and loved them as a kid, still do now. (I'm 17 btw)
So we’re not gonna talk about Dwight introducing this to us first ?
Joe Soldano different children’s story
Second Pictures ist NOT Struwelpeter!!! That was the Thumbsucker, but this was also in the same book.
Some say that’s where they got the idea for the Scissor Man in the Clock Tower game series
I heard it was from a Dario Argento movie called Phenomena.
I have fond memories of it. My dad knows the book by heart so I was always able to hold it and turn pages whenever I wanted and he just kept on "reading".
I've been informed that the Family Guy parody of german bed time stories are accurate lol.
Obviously kids in the USA didn't grow up watching Bulgarian and East German cartoons... In Europe we did. Though childhood indeed...
*Tough
not "though"
Struwwelpeter was famous in Italy too, known as Pierino Porcospino... luckily it pretty much disappeared in the 80s
I remember my German grandmother reading the story of the struwwelpeter and max und moritz
to be fair: the book is from 1844 and a child of its time.
@Nastja Angelou something which is still legal in todays sea legislature.
I still read it as a child born in 92, apparently it is or was some kind of funny joke to give new parents these books
@@teakwondochest3287 Also read it as a child, was born in 2000
Still it was popular way into the early 20th century as many of these old cartoons were.
But it was very popular until the 90s. Its still good and should be sold.
Struwwelpeter isnt a cartoon. it isnt even a comic. its a tale with pictures. its from 1850.. the drawing he shows is from 1858.
bepowerification your icon got me for like a sec gg
Haha ich hab als Kinf das Buch "der Struwwelpeter" geliebt! Aber das zweite Bild mit der Schere ist nicht der Struwwelpeter, sondern der Konrad, der Daumenlutscher! Ich konnte viele Geschichten aus dem Buch früher auswändig und habs auch gern meiner Tochter vorgelesen 👍
Oh gott...hatte den komplett vergessen aber bei dem bild wo der Finger abgeschnitten wird kommen Erinnerungen hoch 😂😂🙈
Flula is so funny, zany, and really quick-witted.
I can confirm. I have that very book with the exact same cartoon images.
Yeah, me to
And the two pictures of Struwwelpeter having his fingers cut off and before don't match. The cutting off the fingers picture is from a story in which the boy didn't follow mother's instructions to stop sucking on his thumb so the scissor guy came to cut them off.
My parents bought this book about 35 years ago when I was a kid. Not so much for my brother and me, but more as a reminder to their own childhood. I was fascinated by this weird cruel book. People were way more hardcore back in those days. People died. Not like todays casual Disney noobs. Fairytales were meant to scare (and scar) you for life.
Conan acts like tatiana maslany didnt tell her this already.
Craig Ferguson should've had Flula on his show. Such a sad missed opportunity.
truth.
Flula wouldn't have come. He would have been embarrassed. His German accent is worse than Craig's.
@@Diana_L. That's perfect. They could've done the Kraftwerk bit alongside Josh, with the terrible accents. Would've been awesome :))
To every german bud saying flula isn't famous in germany and every flula fan saying germany is a place where humourless robots live. I just wanna say Flula is pretty funny and a very charming guy to a lot of people. He may not be very famous in Germany but I also got interested in Germany because of him honestly.That being said yes there's much much more to Germany, German people and culture. There are many negative stereotypes of german folks coz of the past doing of their ancestors. Of course we should not forget the past. It's important to remember history while doing that we also mustn't demonize them and acknowledge their growth as a country and society.♡
Yup that's true! I've been read Struwelpeter as well, it's more of an old folk book with pictures. Only when I grew up I realized how brutal these depictions were. But there are other nice children's programs I grew up with. Astrid Lindgren wrote a lot of beautiful books that were turned into TV productions. Also who can ever forget "Löwenzahn" I can honestly say I had a near idyllic childhood with wholesome children's programs like "Die Rote Zora" "Momo" and the like.
If Conan likes quirky German comedians, he really should book Henning Wehn, he's hilarious.
Henning has the UK, Flula has the USA, if they mixed it'd be chaos and that's one thing Germans hate

The Struwelpeter was written and drawn by a German psychiatrist for his kids in the 19 century, it shows different types of abnormal behaviour like bullying and thumpsucking, etc, some stories show early depictures of mental disorders like eating disorders (the suppenkasper) ADS (wackelphillip, Hans-guck-in die luft) and dissocial disorder (der bitterböse Friederich).
In Germany the Book is well known but not read much anymore, because of the punishment that hits the protagonists for their behavior.
As a kid I like that book. But times, they are a changing 😀
I made a rewrite where they all learn their lessons, hence its title "Dapper Peter and His Friends".
