As a German I feel both attacked and very accurately portrayed.
He liked them in the end I think 😂😊
A bit bummed out it's the Bavarians again. I will now drink a Weißherbstschorle in disgruntelment
Is there a German word for that as well? :D
As a Swiss, I feel pretty much the same, but I'm just standing by and laughing.
@@willnothateu Zwiespalt, feel opposing feelings at the same time
As a German I can assure you that this is what we think Austria is like.
As an Austrian i can assure this is exactly what Austria is like.
The Song in the Background is „Wenn ich auf hohen Bergen steh'“ possible the version from Franzl Lang. It is a song about Tirol (part of Austria). Franz Lang inspired Takeo Ischi to become professional Jodler.
@@stormwanderer4672 I came here to comment exactly this. Thanks.
As an American living in Austria I can confirm that this is what it’s like. They just forgot the racism.
@@Gwarks337I'm a big fan of both of those singers!!
Last Summer I visited some of my German friends for a relazing weekend. They own a bit of land and a forest. So over the weekend I walked about 50000 steps, help fell and cut up 3 trees, and picked 10kg of blueberries. As I said, a relaxing weekend.
Vacation straight from the medieval era
🤣🤣🤣
It sure does 😂
I'm not German, but I honestly do find that relaxing!
Once I really wanted to relax, so I walked nearly 60k steps in 10 hours straight without many or long breaks. But after that I was done with relaxing for a few days
Years ago I once met a German exchange student in Finland. He told me that on his very first day at the university, he had some small problems finding the right classroom, and therefore he was a few minutes late for the first class. He was like five-ten minutes late when he finally found the classroom, and noticed that the class had already started. He would find it embarrassing and awkward walking into the classroom although it was only a few minutes late, so he waited outside the classroom the entire first hour, and then entered after the break in order not to disturb and not to face the embarrassment.
Yupp! German people take being on time seriously!
Except when we work for the deutsche bahn (public railroad)
@@MUETZE198 But aren't the train in Germany normally on time?! German people are very well-known for taking this matter about being on time very seriously and it has already been proven many times, also in delivery time of goods and products! Hopefully it's also reflected in the arrival and departure times of the trains of Deutche Bahn!
In German universities it is relatively common to start 15min later than the official schedule. School is serious though! I got written up for being "almost" late.
I'm German and it would have never ever ocurred to me to behave this eay
@@hannofranz7973 Well, people make different priorities! It was his first day in school and he didn't want to make a bad impression I guess!
I spent six years in Germany. This is brilliant, especially when they decided to just speak English…that’s so true!
I've heard a lotta Germans speak English haha
@@SamFAHntha yes many do. The point in the sketch is that when they heard Oisin’s bad German they decided to just speak English…
@@bob_the_bomb4508 Yeah I got that! Sorry I can see I should've elaborated on my reply a little more haha
@@SamFAHntha Not only do many people here speak English in all variations of quality, the people who do in fact speak a bit English take every single opportunity to practise it on a live person. So if you come here and struggle with your German we instantly grasp the opportunity and speak English. In fact when i was in the Netherlands and the balaton region in Hungary i was always disappointed when i met people who spoke German but not English.
@@drstihl2007 That's so lovely of you guys! I'd love to go there one day, everything about it interests me! Oh Duolingoooo!
So this is what passes as a joke now? In Germany, we just call this a documentary. /s
Loved the video! Hope I'll be able to catch your show in Munich
If you don’t have a ticket yet, don’t delay buying one! Yesterday they had like a dozen left for the Munich show.
Hopefully!!
As Idahoans, that was exactly our reaction to the movie Napoleon Dynamite-how weird that someone would make a movie that just shows real life in back country Idaho (and then how weird that it became a cult classic comedy)
The jokes on you
I did a trip in a German family in the 80s, well almost everything happened to me but the swim in the lake 😂 and I remember the son 1nd his friends competing at 16 to see who will be the first to drink his Mass bottom up... The winner did it at his third try 🤣
My mother once had a german student in her class (her in America). Students had to do a 10,000 word essay at the end of term. He turned his in in german (10k words), and the translation in english. It was 33k words.
The data compression in the german language is incredible, and I love that they make new words by sticking others together.
Not in number of pages though! When I write a text in German and one in English the German one will almost always take longer to read/write.
You have to realize that in many, many cases the words exist in english, too, you just write them as two separate words. Germans have a Wanderstab, you have a walking stick. Could be a walkingstick. In fact, it SHOULD be a walkingstick because if you write "walking stick" it could either be a stick you use for walking or a stick that walks. Anyway, much of that "compression" is due to this simple thing that, for some reason, the english language doesn't do (even though it has roughly 1 third german roots). And while we germans CAN combine new words on the fly, that is not something you actually do very often. But it is hilarious if foreigners try to do so, especially when they are cursing :) My brother in law is from turkey and he had a field day playing with the german language.
I thiink this is a translation issue. There are many works that are much more compressed in English.
German uses a ton of filler words. In Britissh culture it is common to use short and concise language. There is no such tradition in German language. We revel in long and complicated sentence structure. Literal translations just get even longer and harder to read.
It's less words, but not less characters. So German effectively just uses less spaces.
@@HeavyMetalGamingHD we love our compound words. Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
I went to Germany on exchange visits in 1972 and 1974, at 14 and 16. My biggest shocks were breakfast and coffee. Here in the UK, I had a choice of cereal or toast. In Germany, I was faced with a basket of different breads, several cold meats and three or four cheeses. It was wonderful. And the coffee was a revelation. I had only had instant coffee at home. Fresh coffee was something I'd never come across, and it blew me away.
I didn't experience the nude bathing, although a friend of mine did. The sixteen year old sister of his penfriend used to swim in their private pool and ask him to come on in. He refused, mainly because of a throbbing third leg.
@AcademiaCondorcet The sister definitely didn't have a third leg.
you drunk coffee with 14?
@Blaukriton Mit vierzehn Jahren habe ich zum ersten Mal frischen Kaffee getrunken. Davor hatte ich nur Instantkaffee getrunken.
When I was growing up, I didn't know anyone who made real coffee at home. There were many kinds of food and drink that most people didn't have in England at that time. We had a limited and pretty boring diet, although it wasn't unhealthy.
That invitation is fucking wild bruh
@Blaukrito
I drank coffee ☕ when l was 3-..really!
'am from South East Asia..am 75- now 😊👍
The way Arms folds his knuckles when he puts his hands on the table is so evocative of a down-to-earth middle-aged man, and the way he pats Oisin on the shoulder before he leaves. Great hand acting!
FOIL ARMS AND HOG THE COMEDIANS NO MORE! From now on, they shall be HAND MODELS!
Acting with Hand
I noticed that nuance, too. Amazing hand-acting.👏
It was SO GOOD! So glad you already commented this, such a small detail but so so accurate
his name is arms for a reason
as a german I must say the only inaccurate thing is that they can pronounce "Oisin"
I was just about to say that the way they mispronounce Oisin is bang on 😂

I absolutely loved my first experience in a German family near Bodensee. I was 14 and the first meal I had was a single plate with 1kg of potatoes, a half roast pork (at least it felt as big) 1 kg of Sauer Kraut, 1kg of a set of wurst, with Jager Schnitzel covered in cream. It was one of the best meals of my life, even though I was only able to eat 1/10th of it. Before I die, I want to have it again.
😁😁😁
Anywhere there are potatoes! Anyone visiting can survive!
Take more than a kg of potatoes and substitute roast pork for browned roast beef cooked for a few hours and heavily steeped in aus jus, that heaven is what you get in my family!
Better yet, you ALWAYS cook enough meat to keep for leftovers for at least a week!
Put dill relish, mayo, and the roast beef with aus jus on french bread! Oh my god, you'll think you've gone to heaven!
As a native Texan, I wonder how magical that would taste to Europeans. . .
🤣🤣
This is sooo funny 🤣🤣
I once took my brother to the Mosel brewery canteen in Luxembourg (near enough). We both order leg of pork with sauerkraut. I still remember the look on his face as the whole hind leg, including hair) was laid out on a massive bed of sauerkraut. Each plate could of fed a full family but it tasted great all washed down with huge pints of their unfiltered lager.
We lived half a year in a German family because of war in Ukraine and it was a pretty interesting experience. They run by calm and order rule definitely. Obsessed by order, when I was in their garage it looked like a surgery room in hospital. Everything sorted and took place just where it should be. Also timings, hiking and of course beer. If they start something they always do it in a proper way to achieve long-term results. Now I'm in UK as my company provided me pretty good relocation package, but I will miss that months in Germany. I'm planning to visit them in December
Come back anytime, you’re highly welcome. We hosted a Ukrainian family when the war broke out. Never met nicer people! Greetings from Stuttgart 🙋♀️
@@poughkeepsie8516 wow, thank u mate for kind welcome. I already visited that German family 3 times during this period.
"Waldeinsamkeit" - German has the best words 🙂 and if one doesn't exist they will smash a bunch together to form an extra length one that is proper explanatory.

@@aramisortsbottcher8201 That's the magic of German... ;-P Erklärbär means explain(ing) bear and is used for people who like to explain stuff. In your case, you just did it in a RUclips comment, so... no offense at all!
@@aramisortsbottcher8201 I think it's youtube commentary explanation bear? An explanation bear being a term for someone explaining something in an easily understandable, friendly way. And I think it's partly called that because the second syllable of "erklaer" and the word "Baer" rhyme 😄
@@gimmethatplease2224 I see no reason to be offended.
Also I am German and just tried it out of curiosity :)
I have to protest. No family would interrupt a lad drinking his breakfast beer like that. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They would let them finish in peace and then guilt them all day for taking so long.
Bahaha thank you for protesting Gödeke
Yes that was true in the camps to. First you take the morning beer, then you take the morning shower and then they put you in the morning ovens

I stayed at a German family 3 years ago when I was travelling for an Erasmus + project (English Drama) and it was one of the best experiences of my life. They showed me the city, got me lots of german food and souvenirs, they even helped me learn some german sentences, it was all around a great experience. They were super kind and attentive, at the end of my trip, they even gave me a piece of paper with their address, telephone number and names, so if I happen to be in Germany later, I can call them and I can stay at their house for as long as I want to. They had a daughter and son, aged 16 and 11, and they were pretty nice to me as well.
Wow. What a kind family
1:38 the way he stands and props himself with his hands on the table is SO spot on for older gentlemen with a belly 😂😂😂
even for Germans, it takes a special brand of nudist to get naked for the car ride to the nudist beach. Oisín's face when he realised he bought himself a "small" hike WITH German jokes was flawless. As an only child of German parents, I can relate... Brilliant as ever, see you lads in Berlin!
Because it’s illegal
@@fabiansaerve No it is not. Germany has NO laws forcing you to wear cloth. We do have the "rubber band law" $118 OWig that CAN be used (It deals with creating public disturbance) against nudes in public. But on your own grounds and in your car that does not apply. Save footwear for the driver is recommended.
Enforcement of the 118 is "based on situation and location" and on looks/gender/sexual preferences of the nudes and the enforcement personal. Unless you go flashing the worst for a "first time offence"(1) is a "please get clothes on" or "please leave". Flashing (deliverat sexual moves/showing) is a different crime.
Please do remember many german beaches are legally "privat property" and there house rules might apply. Same for the inside of shops.
(1) If you leave they will not even take names/adresses. Just do NOT get caught more than once by the same people on the same day.
@@mbr5742 nice
When there was this nudist plane travel to a nudist beach resort where they had to pay the stewardesses extra money to cope with the passengers....
You are not allowed to drive without proper shoes in germany.
I laughed out loud when he started just eating the orange peel 😆
So much easier
Apparently it could be boiled...n drunk as tea. Healthy too....
@@eleethtahgra7182 I think the only reason not to eat it (apart from texture) is the insectizides on the peel itself. Not sure hw well you can wash them off.

So i have ben living in germany for like 9 or 10 months and yet i still dont really get the trash system
Haha hilarious! As an American in Germany I am always amazed at finding little old ladies and men hiking deep in the forest climbing steep mountains while I am on my mountain bike
I knew a German boy while studying in England. It seemed hilarious to me, so I forwarded the video to him (in Germany). What was left out is the German housewife's obsession with cleaning. There are hysterical memories of finding my late mother cleaning her kitchen at 2am, and standing there in my nightgown, screaming, "Who in your family is German". Her only response: "I couldn't sleep because the kitchen was dirty!"
I am like this lady and I know a lot of fellow German women who are the same 😂😂😂
I must admit, being german, I was worried at first, wondering where this is going. But after after having seen, this, I'm thinking to myself, that this was actually a pretty great portrayal. You forgot the socks and sandals though.
That's also very Irish!
And british.
In fact, anywhere where in summer it's too warm for shoes, but too cold for flip-flops. 😂
@@peterclarke7240 well, Birkenstocks do fit well with lederhosen....

Yeah, that was fantastic scene setting
The running gag with the walk is so good 😂😂
A walking gag, you might say. 😉
I love the “free-time timetable“.
As a former exchange student in Germany, this is spot on. So many fond memories of the beautiful country. So many well organized, orderly, and efficient times :)
I know there is a german word for what you are feeling.
@@Ashley-lm4nv Fernweh maybe?

To this day I'm surprised so many foreigners consider us organized, orderly and efficient.
@@overlordmarkus In America the only thing that is efficient and organized is our military.
@@angelman906 Even that is questionable
Rather accurate but going naked at the lake isn't generally permitted, only in some areas of some lakes.
And you forgot German bread. How could you forget our bread?
Also did you look at those sausages? They didnt look like german sausage at all! O.O
Gods, last I was in Germany I went into Lidl and the breaad shelf broke my head as a Canadian. And all these custom bread slicing machines...
In our grocery stores it's mostly cheap Wonder Bread and then the bakery bread is still limited to a few kinds and pre-bagged.
....crap now I miss German bread.
Be more specific. Which of the 300 Kinds of bread would you have liked to be portrayed?
every lake I went to in Germany there was at least one naked person
Same here in Bohemia/Böhmen. Usualy by the lakes you have area where is normal to be in swim suits and then there is another area for those they like to swim or sunbathing naked, its pretty much by most of lakes, even some smaller next to the villages. ;)
My mom still plans and keeps a timetable for every single day down to half an hour. She has been retired for over 10 years now and still does it. She also still has all the timetables from the last 45!!! years and can look up and tell you exactly what she did on what day and what hour, within 5mins...
She also still gets up at about 5:30h every day...
Good job out-germaning most Germans XD
OMG! In 1980, I was a 14 yrs old exchange student in Germany and you guys nailed it! I’m still laughing!
That was very accurate. As a German I approve of this scetch. See you lads in Frankfurt.
See you there Jim!
Good, but that music will not be aired north of the river Main.
Now, now. May I see your RUclips-Video-Qualitätsbeurteilungslizenz please.
See you there, Jim! :D
Europa League and FAH, you are lucky!
Especially the time keeping is something I got used to very quickly once I started to go to Germany regularly. I worked for an international company as the only non-German in a German team (I'm Dutch but speak fluent German). When I invited colleagues around for my birthday, I invited them from 19.30. There was still nobody at 19.28 and everyone was there by 19.32, lol.
As an American, I prefer my friends’ Mexican time (an hour late with half the family uninvited). Once they showed up on time. I was 0% prepared.
I'm Italian... I would never recover from such punctuality, lol
I'm also Dutch living in Germany, but here in the North people turn up 20 minutes early. So rude.
I prefer The British mentality: get invited to go and do something, spend intervening time thinking up excuses for not going, finally give up and go out of shame more than actual desire to do the thing, meet next to pub as arranged as it's an easily identified landmark, pop in for a swift half and a catch-up, end up staying there until closing time, and leave barely able to remember own name.
Britain: where social anxiety and alcoholism spectacularly collide! 😂
@@jinde75 so true 😂, but here it is like that : "when you are in time, you are late" 🙃😬
I have to say that in Germany they don't actually have more categories for waste disposal than we do in Czech Republic (I've spent 12 years in Germany). In both countries, there is yellow bin for plastic, blue for paper, black for general waste, then there is one specific bin for metal (f.e. for cans), one for tetra-pak cartons (f.e. milk cartons) and one for organic waste (like potato peels, egg shells, etc.). The last one is the only one we don't use as we need organic waste for our own garden. We collect and compost the organic waste in the corner of our garden, after some time it turns into nutritious soil and we then grow pumpkins and zucchini on it. It's really neat.
I lived in Berlin once, and that was nothing like the video, but this is exactly how I imagine the rural parts of southern Germany.
Berlin isn`t German. It`s not a joke.
@@user-sz7ur8xq5f Actually it (Berlin) is a joke...
@@TheArachnoidHuman 😅
After living in Germany for some years now I can say that the most accurate thing in this video was how the faces of the Germans were not shown. Germans are very particular about their privacy.
And like always, great work guys!!
Haha very good
Oh really,
Google Maps street view data is over ten years old with chunks of it even blurred out for a reason!
Anglo tabloids: Boobs blurred.
German tabloids: Face blurred.
Yes, that's true.
But they don't care about their bodies.
That's disgusting
The biggest joke is having to wait for only 2 more minutes when you miss a bus 😂 Public transport in Germany isn't nearly as punctual or reliable as you seem to think. In many places, especially rural areas, it's actually a mess. But the rest was spot on 😁👍
when i was in high school we did an orchestra exchange with a school from Dortmund and had the exact same conversation with them:
them: "we MUST catch this bus!! it is absolutely imperative!! if we miss it, there won't be another one for TEN WHOLE MINUTES!"
us, from rural Lower Saxony: ".... if we miss the school bus there won't be another one for 24 hours but okay."
When you are used to Irish buses' complete alienation from anything remotely close to punctuality, I bet even the most mismanaged german bus feels eerily on time and incredibly frequent too.
I have a problem since the pandemic started. My train is now always early. I imagine because it is still used less. It comes every 15min so it's fine but it was very annoying until I got used to it.
I was waiting for the punchline of "in many rural areas, the buses are sometimes 3, even 4 minutes late!"
I was expecting: we'll have to wait another day, that would be realistic outside of the city....
The bit about the time management was hilarious and spot on !
I remember while living there as an English teacher, a student asking me if she could regularly leave the class earlier because if not she would have to wait SIX minutes for the next bus 🚌🚐🙀
LMAO
I'm Swiss, I love Germany, I lived there for a couple of years, in a family as teenager, all by myself later and I'm laughing to death, that's soooooo truly true. I love you guys.
Really ?. I thought swiss is germany itself but on steroids. So all these cliche s apply to swiss also, aren't they ?
@@StupidityExpert Ho no, first of all in Switzerland we have 4 cultures, the Swiss German, the Swiss French, the Swiss Italien and the Grisons.
Some Swiss German features or ways to be, to act, are close the the German ones. But Swiss French have very few in common with Germans. Excepted the discipline, the seriousness when they work or build something, the strong structure of the state's management.
Three thoughts:
1) It is hilariously obvious who wrote this one
2) Arms and Hog are brave men for 2:18, no matter how out of focus
3) I am very impressed Foil managed not to spill that pint at the end. A man after my own heart!
That's not a pint. A pint is about half the size of a proper Maß Bier.

@@u.s.1974 which makes it even more impressive^^
Germans with nudity is certainly different from NorthAmerican approach. Many years ago, I ended up finishig a business meeting in a sauna with naked Germans and me wrapped in my towel.
tbf, your second thought is not that brave, since you can see they wearing black pants.
My God, I'm cryyying ha
As a German who lives abroad, this is 100% my English boyfriend's life whenever he tags along for a family visit.
Why are you geh?
To be fair, looking confused and partially terrified, and only relaxing when someone puts a beer into our hands, is basically how we English spend much of our lives anyway 😂
As someone who was an exchange student in Germany, this made me laugh out loud. Way too accurate.
The most german thing i know is the timetable of a paramedic friend of mine. He has to work a lot, so when he comes home he always starts his favorite game to relax...paramedic control center simulator.
You almost made me cry with laughter. This was too funny. Will immediately share with my sister who's an expat in Germany.
P.S. My memories of Germany mainly consists of relatives forcefeeding me chocolate, and weirdly finding myself missing vegetables
Oh gosh, that must've been A LOT of chocolate for you to miss vegetables 😂 (kidding... mostly...)
Let us know how the video goes with your sister please? 😃
@@SamFAHntha It was! My dad "accidentally" threw some of it away.
And my sister thought it was funny, of course
haha, that sounds lovely!

@@ericpraline Of course!
Only inaccurate part was asking "you're 16 right?" to serve the beer. 14 would have worked too, it did for me at the time!
Fully agreed. 14 is allowed if accompanied by parents. Gerhard and his wife are kind of parents here 😀
You at least get to try it at 14, yeah. So maybe just a half litre bottle instead of Maß.

I think it's applicable to most of northern Europe. I'm Dutch and recognized a lot too 😆
Well, you have the better landscapes for a short stroll lol
I was told by some norwegians once that swedes are considered the germans of scandinavia, so it makes sense ;-)
You are Germanics. So Kind of very northern Germans.
@@roevardotter My dad jokingly says that Swedes are Germans disguised as people (becos the Germans are robots I assume).
Just discovered this channel, I can’t see myself not watching you guys for the next five years. Great channel.
So nice to see so many positive comments about german people and their little ticks. As a german i often feel like were not really liked in the rest of europe because of politicians who take themselves way too serious. Hope all of you have a good time here when visiting (or living here).
Ow thanks. Many fond memories yes. And as one person said the bread should be covered. Is amazing. Still remember the little bakeries for a coffee and cheese roll. East Berlin especially zany, if had to live in Germany...after the wall came down and before too swamped with new money, don't know how it is now. From Lubeck in the North to the romantischen strassen? belts of well preserved medieval towns. And from a German colleague and photos I feel much of the wonders of the countryside I still have yet to sample. I feel like my travelling days are over but if I get the chance again.
my own experience of Germany efficiency. It was the summer of 1988 and during my summer break from college went to the main BMW factory looking for work . They had a program (need) to hire workers for the summer months as the local workforce headed off to sunnier shores. Anyhow did the interview with my very limited and shaky German. Was told I had been accepted and some guy brought me away from the hiring office to show me where my workplace was and got a workers ID and such . At one point he pointed to a locker which had been assigned to me with overalls already inside . At that point he asked me what to problem was . Get dressed and I will take you to your part of the line and meet your supervisor (chef) . Interview to working on the line about 60 minutes - kid you not.
Very efficient! :)
As an American living in Germany, this feel 100% correct. After a few years though, it feels more and more normal now. See you in München!!
I feel like you guys should do more videos like this where an exchange student is in different countries.
This feels scarily accurate! As a German who hates long hikes, I am happy that my family belonged to the category of Germany who never go on long hikes *phew *
The shoes on the table was a cultural shock for me. My grandmother would have passed out seeing that. Lol. Great skit. I donʻt think FAH has yet to make a skit, where I didn't laugh out loud. Thanks for the bright spot you bring each week.
Oh trust me, Irish grandmas, German Grandmas- probably ALL grandmas the world over would pass out at seeing shoes on the table!
probably the only inaccuracy in the whole video - shoes on the table are bad luck, at least in my corner of germany
@@themaggattack frankly, I feel very grandma-like on this topic... outdoor shoes, let alone boots, have no business in the kitchen or the dining room (or any other place further away than 2m from the outdoor entrance), let alone on the table.
In a lot of german homes you didn't even wear shoes inside, so that part isn't that accurate. It's not like the middle east or east asia, but still... Probably every German heard this two phrases like a command in his/her childhood:
"Schuhe aus!"
"Der Teller wird leer gegessen!"
Mine would have hit me until I remove them and clean the table.
Really loved this lads .. feel sorry that Barry got left out of the exchange programme 😆 ...oisin is very lucky ..he's been on a French exchange programme too ...more than what I got as a kid 🥳🥳🥳 great work on set design too! 👏👏👏
Maybe Barry went to a different country and we'll get to see that.
@@PaulSmith-qs1es good point! Would love to see that .. a Barry mini spin off sketch 😁😁😁
@@PaulSmith-qs1es Maybe Barry got to visit his dad in Portugal?
How would poor Anne cope if Barry was away for a couple of weeks.
@@CeartGoLeor86 ah true .. she'd miss him terribly 😞
This had me crying laughing! Thanks Lads! Superbly done! You need your own TV show!
The sketch is amazing and all, but still do love the outro
"he's hammered"
"i know"
"it's non-alcoholic"
Arms is really pulling all the material that he can from that German exchange to constance when he was sixteen...sehr gut!! Es ist sehr lustig. Can you tell I study German in school? 😬😀 Can't believe the gig is NEXT WEEK!! So very excited for it
God no, the Schreiners did NOT do any of that
@@foilarmsandhog Relieved to hear it, for your sake!
@@foilarmsandhog I don't believe you.
@@foilarmsandhog NO ONE is going to believe you now, Arms!!!!!! 😂😂
Jaysus, the poor Schreiners… let’s hope FAH are not too well known in Konstanz yet 😂😂
@@foilarmsandhog i sent this video to all my friends in konstanz :)
Ooo a new series? I Hope its him and Barry going on foreign exchanges Programmes and committing shenanigans.
Maybe you're right!
I see you opted for the medium stein of beer - didn't want to get too filled up for the hike...
The Franzl Lang in the background is perfect
It is utterly frustrating when you're trying to remember the correct case, word order and pronunciation in German and they reply in English
Tut mir leid 😂
@@kuhttifrutti2826 you mean: I am sorry
Thats why when someone is trying to learn your language, dont switch to theirs(obviousely unless necesary), so that everyone gets their practice in, voy a hacer lo mismo con el español
@@oscard.lisboa6105 sehh mejor le hablamos en inglés (yeah we better talk to him in english)
I keep reminding my students that they've already learned how to say "Bitte sprechen Sie Deutsch, ich möchte üben." ;)
*CRYING WITH LAUGHTER* that was so so funny...
Especially loved the specific German word for the melancholy of solitude brought on by walking alone in the woods. "Waldeinsamkeit"
Saaaame! To everythiiiing 😂😂😂
It was actually really nice to see a German word used for a punchline but the punchline was "English doesn't have enough words/takes too long to explain words" rather than "German has too many words and they are too long and hard to remember" as if they aren't just a bunch of adjectives mashed together in a very intuitive way to let you express things more succinctly.
@@asterismos5451 Yeah English is a somewhat limited language. It's always fun when you have 5 different Hungarian translations of 1 English word. "They all mean the same?", "Yes, but each has a slightly different feeling".
@@boomerix Oh that's interesting! I always thought of English as a language with a lot of options, what with how many loan words it has.
@@asterismos5451 As a German, I often have a hard time writing down my words/thoughts in English the way I would in German. I have to simplify my German every time.
And this is really no joke!
Excellente! I could understand everything you said. Great teacher!
It's my favourite sketch of yours 😄 I like revisiting it from time to time and it still makes me laugh so much 😄
loved this I spent a few days with a German family when I was 18 it wasn’t quite as intense but It seemed very accurate ❤️🏴
This is too funny 🤣🤣🤣 Poor Oisin just can’t catch a break ANYWHERE 😅
It's a wonder he's not completely lost it 😂
@@paddor 😆 That's funny! The Irish word for son is "Mac" or "Mic."
When it's conjugated, it gets an h added- mhac- which changes the pronunciation to "wac." So if Anne were to call Oisín "my son", she'd call him
*m'bhac* pronounced kinda like: "ma walk."
This is the best of the ones I have viewed so far. 👍
I loved the Waldeisamkeit reference. It reminds me of Geschwindigkeitgrenze :)
I was eating chocolate pudding while watching this sketch. I nearly had the chocolate pudding shoot out of my nose at the orange joke because it was just THAT hilarious. This video is just extraordinarily funny, even compared to the already hilarious other sketches you lads have made. Well done, and greetings from Germany!
Yup, my host parents took me on a “walk” my first weekend! Also…recycling, spot on!…and nude lake swimming …you left out lectures on taking longer than 5 minute showers haha
🤣 Oh, he already got that lecture from his mother! (See the "Morning Bathroom Rush" sketch)
And to only shower every other day to not ruin their skin..
Tbh I was very thankful that everyone tried to help me learn Deutsch. Like encouraged me to speak in German, even if I was grammatically wrong at times. They're genuinely nice people.
when his mother called i could not hold on any longer :-)))))))), well done guys i love it, greetings from Austria
We need a whole series based on oshin travelling the world, that would be class
As an Ami now 20 yrs in Bavaria, I almost died with laughter! Got here and was amazed and puzzled that a good time to my boyfriend’s family was going on a hike when they’d get together, instead of laughing and joking like my family. (Aber, die Witze über Pünktlichkeit stimmt nicht.) Thanks, lads!🤣
No problem Andrea!! Hope you got used to those hikes eventually
Die Witze war nicht am gutes Moment ja? Sie muss Punktlich sein!
Komödientiming ist alles :)
Always welcome here🇺🇸🇩🇪🤗❤️
I'm really hoping to catch you in Vienna!!
Love this video! I hope you will do others countries too, woud love to see what the exchange student will experience in the Netherlands :-)
Amazing sketch again this week lads!
Absolutely love the background design too! It’s amazing what adding a few beams can do to completely change the set design. Genius!! 😁😁
Brilliant sketch, I was giggling throughout 😂 But it also makes me miss home a bit, two weeks till I am back 😊
Enjoy!
Enjoy the little strolls.
"Just one word"
"Ja, very efficient"
Echt schönes Video, hat Spaß gemacht zuzuschauen. Jetzt ein Spaziergang.
I laughed so hard that all my beer went through my nose... Greetings from Germany. 🤗
You mean... your breakfast?
@@hwarangdrac 😅
I was NOT expecting to see that much CHEEK! 🤣🤣😂😂
You guys are great! I love watching your clips 😍
The background music is a bit over the top, but I love the constant reminder that we love to go for a walk.
"or we'll have to wait another two minutes for the train" 😂😂 summs it up. Such a good video. Ihr habt echt raus, einfach brilliant und raffiniert! So viel Humor und so akurat, ey mega!
Oh lads, a proper bellylaugh so early in the AM, what a way to start the day!
Poor Oisín. The desperation on his face before just eating the peel... *Chefs kiss*
Happy Thursday all!
Great Anna, have a good day
Happy Thursday!!
I love the stereotypical background music.
Well, going by the music and the crampons: Welcome to Bavaria.
As an Irish-German I laughed myself silly. You're spot on 😂
So....are you always late or on time??
Fassbender? That you?
This is absolutely your best sketch yet, you're going to have to go some to beat this. Foil is simply outstanding as Oisín, his expressions and reactions are just 🏆2 highlights being the orange and the beer! 🤣🤣His outro was 👏👏 and well done to you and Hog for daring to bare! This was absolute perfection, well done 👏 👏👏👏 I've got tears in my eyes, I'm just so proud to be a fahn of such a hugely talented bunch of guys ❤❤❤
The German pretzels are missing 🤣! Great video !!
Yup, this is definitely Bavaria! 😁
Fahntastic Statistic
I looked up the longest outro the lads ever made. I only included outros where we see the lads as themselves. So I didn't include outros with an extra scene after it or where the lads where still in character. This mostly happens with Anne and Oisín sketches. I also did not include outros that show a preview of the live shows. It turned out, the longest outro FAH ever made is 1 minute and 28 seconds. It's the outro from the 'If Every country had a bar' sketch. It takes up 40 percent of the video!
Indulgent!!
and we love every second of it!
@@tilliebops yes we do :)
As someone who has lived in Germany for my whole life, I cracked up multiple times while watching this video! 🤣 You guys are just absolutely amazing, plus, your German is really good 👍🏼
-Just one word?
+Ja, very efficient
Waldeinsamkeit.... 🤣😂👍
As someone who has never experienced the German culture, I'm packing a suitcase. Who doesn't love walks, punctuality, recycling and organisation?
and decently sized mugs for beer
The French
My dog agrees
but what you really crave is the public nakedness
America
As a Dutchie with German relatives, I can relate to all of this. Although they have their breakfast at 5 am 😂.
I experienced the exact situation with the “short walk” thing when I was in Germany!! That short walk took us like, across town, down a mountain!!!
