The Wife-swap guy is an absolute classic. Whenever i have to say "Halt! Stop!" i have to force myself to _not do an impression_ of this guy....and sometimes i get weird looks because I slip up....and the clip is so old that some people don't even know it anymore.
@@voyance4elle Keine Ahnung ob die Clips noch irgendwo zu finden sind, aber die Frau hat sich dem Tauschpapa seggsi in Dessous präsentiert. Immerhin waren Andreas und seine zierliche Elfe begeisterte Amateur-Prndarsteller.
The funny thing about the cola sketch is not that the guy was wrong... Coke Zero is basically pronounced the same in german as it is in english... the funny thing is the grandma being like "TSERRRRRRO" XD
As for that Indian "student" who almost drowned: He obviously did not understand the question due to is lack of German skills, so he gave a standard reply like "yeah, it's very nice" to appear as if he did in fact understand what he was asked... which is what makes this clip so funny :)
He said “fancy plastic bag“ …..that’s literally one of the more cheap ones you get in Germany if it isn’t a plastic bag from a food delivery service xD
Wife Swap is originally from the UK, not the US (and the German version is even older than the American one). Actually, quite a few shows you probably think originated in the US are adaptations from Europe (The UK and Netherlands, mostly).
I feel like I have to clarify the "make yourself dinner" part. In Germany "dinner" is called "Abendbrot" (evening bread), and it's usually bread with butter and slices of cheese or meat on it. Our lunch is usually the elaborate meal of the day. At least it was back when this clip was made.
Almost never had Abendbrot, when I was a kid my mum or dad cooked a fresh warm dish for lunch and dinner without Maggi or Knorr shit and my parents taught me how to do so too and when both had a longer day at work I would cook for my brother and myself at age 9 lol 😂
@@Pseudomonasa aber ich stimme dir zu, bei uns gab es auch nur ab und zu Abendbrot, zb. wenn meine Mutter nicht da war. Meistens war ja das Abendessen auch die einzige Mahlzeit wo die ganze Familie daheim ist

Still, I feel like this scene was scripted that way in order to make him look like a bad father (yes, it's scripted reality TV for those who didn't know). 😉
It's even funnier how Cannabis has now been legalized and literally nothing has changed, at least from my perspective. Actually the communal politicians were fearmongering here that there would be junkies at every corner. I actually see less junkies at the places that they used to be now.
He didnt include some of the best parts of Farid's (the first rapper) interview, where he said "you're not suppose to joke about this" and then breaks out into laughter. Or the Wife-swap clip, where Andreas goes into the kitchen and points at a bowl of fruit and proclaims "As you can see, there are fruits in the house".
@@svenakg ahem no one going to mention him slamming the door so hard the regular calendar flies off revealing the porn one hidden behind? the level of cringe just too damn high.
The guy is not a “country boy” but a tradesman on “Walz” - meaning he has finished his apprenticeship and now travels the country and internationally to learn his trade with many other businesses wherever he finds short-term employment. Within the “Walz” - three years and a day - he is banned to enter his home (there is a curfew of a radius of 50 km around his home) and he travels with the bare necessities and tools only, wearing this traditional costume. Many people give them rides while hitchhiking the country. They’re always very interesting to talk to. They learn many new techniques in their trade that way. Great tradition among carpenters, masons, ship builders etc. - in former times, even many other trades, such as tailors etc. would partake in this tradition. Today, it is mostly, as said, masons and carpenters, who still do this.
I think it is His Lehrabschluss Prüfung Party or He is on a Berufsschulen Wettbewerb. (Is mir so auch passiert also bei der LAP Party, da hab ich echt zu viel getrunken)
Ach und weshalb ich glaube dass er nicht auf der Walz ist, er hat keinen goldenen Ohring. Ich hab zumindestens keinen gesehen. (Der Ohring ist die Bezahlung für dein Begräbnis, Vals man in einen anderen Land stirbt. Traditionell wird dass Ohr mit einen Nagel gestochen, um dann den Gold Ohrring anzubringen.)
@@MellonVeganto go on Walz sadly not so often anymore when i drove long distances with the car i always gave them a ride because the conversations are always so cool but i rarely saw them anymore
@@MellonVegan It used to be the norm since the Middle Ages, I guess. Today it is rather optional and trade guilds have different expectations. Today, at least in th area where I live, this is becoming - sadly - rather uncommon and you don’t see them around as much as one did only 50 years ago…
Obviously it doesnt make much sense to watch it if you dont know german. Because most of the time the joke is, how their german sounds in addition to what they are saying. And its just in general awkward situations which you wont notice because of the translations
Exactlyyyy like the majority of these, if really not all, are about this kinda stuff, u can translate it as good as possible and try adding as much context as you like it's literally only funny if u actually know german ngl
18:27 That got lost in translation a bit. The German word "alle" in this context means "empty" like in all the food was eaten, all the beer was drunk and now it's "alle". The better translation might be "gone". The word you use for an empty space like a room or in this situation a stadium is "leer". A bottle or a table can be "leer" too - because it's a defined space - but if you refer to a undefined amount of something that's been emptied, a pile of stuff that's been removed through consumption you rather use "alle". "Das Fass ist LEER." (The keg is empty.) "Das Bier ist ALLE." (The beer is empty/all gone.) "Der Wühltisch mit den Socken ist leer." (The rummage table for the socks is empty.) "Die Socken sind alle." (The socks are empty/out of stock.) Not to confuse you but in another, more common context "alle" can mean "everybody" or "all" (Yes, those words share a Germanic root). Like in the children song "Alle Vögel sind schon da" (All the birds have already arrived) or the kindergarten teacher's request "Alle mitsingen!" (Everybody sing along!) That double meaning can make it confusing for people learning German.
Non-reusable plastic bags don't get provided or sold in Germany any longer - you can either choose a reusable made of plastic or canvas, or you can decide for bags made of recycled paper if you have enough reusables piled up at home already.
The thing with difference in parenting is, he said „Abendbrot“ (evening bread) which in some parts of Germany refers to dinner as an exact translation, while in other parts „Abendessen“ (evening food) includes all kinds of dinner and „Abendbrot“ only is like bread with jam or something like cereal because they don’t wanna cook that day.
Ohhh my goodness I’m dying of laughter! My dogs are confused- I guess they have never heard me laughing like that ! Thank you from Germany for that hilarious video reaction!
18:09 what the dude is saying when he says „alle“ it actually makes sense because in Germany you also say for examples „das Glas ist alle“ which means „the bottle is empty“
3:22 Im German and we also didn't know what she means to say with "what do things do." That's a thing only she knows. 😂 10:30 The recordings are really very old, back then nobody really thought about legalizing cannabis. Growing your own and consuming it is btw. now even allowed. 😎 14:16 He translated it here as dinner, but he literally he only said "make yourself a sandwich". side note: Wife Swap was known for intentionally overacting. There, scenes were sometimes intentionally provoked, faked or exaggerated, on the instructions of the camera team.
15:42 This is the entertainment program here in Germany, especially on Sat1. Antisocial people who shout at each other. This runs all morning in various formats in a continuous loop with commercial breaks. Sat 1 - program by anti-social people for anti-social people.
Well most unstudied men are like this, especially when they drank alcohol. It is far more common for german men to behave like this as Ryan might have thought. Although that were rather a bunch of bad video clips instead of good memes now Ryan can get a more realistic view on sexistic germany with too many too masculine dumb men. Ryan has a bit too fairy tale impression of germany.
8:22 This is the traditional clothing of Carpenters. I am From Austria and it's the Same clothing. (There must be a training course or a vocational exam)
Btw: Just looked it up. Wife swap was a british TV invention in january 2003. Germany seems to be the first country who immediately adopted the concept within the same year in July 2003. Denmark followed in October 2003. The US adopted the idea in September 2004 according to wikipedia. Many other countries followed the years after. Though I never watched that show ^^. It's just "scripted reality" and we already had too much of that crap :D Actually there was a lot of controversy here in germany because one of the first participants got humiliated by the production team so they filed a lawsuit as they violated her human dignity. Those first episodes are no longer allowed to be broadcasted.
In German wie sad "harzIV-TV" its mean peopel whos not working and became money from the social network on Germany....! AN this peopel can look the show on 10:00 am
13:50 The thing about "Make yourself some dinner" is that dinner or "Abendbrot" (literally "evening bread") in some parts of Germany is usually just bread with a spread, so he just told the kid "go make yourself a sandwich, okay?" The main hot meal of the day is eaten at lunch. This used to be the norm throughout Europe before industrialization and the 8 hour contiguous work day made it impractical. It is still the case in some parts of Britain as well, hence "supper" can mean very different things to different people.
The guy who used his belly as a weapon knew why we also call a beer belly a Biermuskel (beer muscle)😂 As a Bavarian I felt exposed, he's sooo Bavarian in the worst sense.
What you said about comment about the former german drugs commissioner: "That's a little bit scary!" And most germans would agree! She had no clue what she was talking about. For this job you should know about the drugs, the dangers as well as the myth. But she just says what we know: "Because it's illegal!" I wish I had a job where I could just repeat stuff that people already know like a broken record! And that for a big salary like she gets!
8:16 The "Country Boy" was wearing the traditional clothes of a carpenter. The hat, waistcoat, white shirt and trousers are typical of journeymen who go on a "Walz". This tradition of travelling (Walz) after the apprenticeship dates back to the Middle Ages and was intended to ensure that the apprentice gained experience.
"Was machen Sachen?" is really legendary. The way this arabic/turkish woman is asking and the words she is using is just funny. And it rhymes. "Was machen Sachen?"
08:25 Not a country boy. This is a carpenter in his traditional outfit. After their training, they often go on "journeyman years". They travel around the country and offer their services while they travel, learning new things everywhere. In fact, they are even forbidden to go near their home town during this phase. A very old tradition.
1:40 The meme only makes sense in German. Anorak (Anorak in German) and pineapple (Ananass in German) sound very similar in German. And grandma was a little older and confused it
Im a german and the traslation is a little bit confusing for a not german ,at the scene whit the schalke 04 Fan its said that its empty fot them but it dont mean the viewer whit this it meant That the Season for them is over and the cant do anything any more I Hope this was helpful 😅
17:20 -> This public swimming pool called Grugabad is in my home town! And the water is so "choppy" because it's a wave pool. It's now so unsafe due to aggression among rebellious young people that extra security patrols keep watch there.
The quote from Andreas from Frauentausch (Wife swap) is actually more like : "Everything stays as it is. There will be no changes! If you are here, and not!"
12:40 I felt like doing an origin check and with deep regrets I have to say ... we germans premiered that show a little over a year earlier. in a way that doesn't even surprise me
i hope not. it would be embarrassing if he saw the fools on both sides of the story. the use of the term "drachengame" alone says a lot about them. No matter what a person has done, we live in a society in which we have institutions for judgment and punishment. bullying, persecuting, pressuring someone as a vigilante is stupid. To call it a game shows your mental maturity.
00:25 You're right. Memes started as still images with a caption making fun of a specific situation, like a caricature. Once only used by nerds on their favourite internet forums they developed by time to become this massive meme culture we now have. 02:14 These were standard plastic shopping bags back in the days. Every shop had their own with their logo on the sides. To reduce littering and pollution plastic bags are kinda banned now and have been replaced with either paper bags or more durable re-usable ones. According to the question if zero or light is better: None of them! If you're struggling with either your sugar consumption or your body weight be assured that thinking about what to drink is just another indicator that something else is horribly wrong. Balance is key! 08:30 Classic, but unfortunately the joke got lost in translation. He's too drunk to even know his own language and although it might seem correct on first look, he answered the question what he did with something like "I have dancinged." 20:07 Drachenlord is one of the most famous lolcows in germany. Him struggling with his haters made it on public TV, bc he kept engaging and inviting them to his place. Not accepting any help it got quite dramatic. In the end the whole village he lived in got upset, he lost a court case, his yt channel followed and he sold his house to move on. He didn't learn or changed his behaviour, nowadays he's streaming on another platform.
The one with son of a who…is because there is a german song called „henri henrison der bruder von jürgen hu…sohn“ (Henri Henrison the brother of Jürgen son of a who…)
The Dongsi Döngsi lady actually worked at my employer's cafeteria when the video was made. Although I didn't start there until much later, it's still a running joke there. On the other hand, she was mocked so much for it that she quit. A constant reminder not to give interviews on the street... especially not for TV total!
The guy @08:13 isn't a "country boy" but wearing the traditional carpentry attire of black corduroy fabric accompanied with the typical hat - you can see these guys sitting atop in-build houses across central Europe constructing roof trusses. After their successful apprenticeship period they become journeyman craftsman, walking from one construction site to next to further learn and improve under different masters. This journeyman period takes three years if I remember correctly and requires them to follow a traditional code. Before leaving their home they'll have a party getting drunk, culminating in the great finale of having a carpenter's nail hammered right through one earlobe to wear an earring. If the journeyman carpenter would break the code by behaving in a way which would damage the guild's reputation other journeymen carpenters would confront him, rip off the earring and kick him off the guild - for this reason "Schlitzohr"/"slit-ear" is an expression for a person of questionable reputation and morals in german. The traditional code consists of coming your home place no closer than a certain distance at any given time during their three year journey, never sleeping under the same roof more than once (In a row? Not sure about the specifics. 😅), only taking free accomodation provided by generosity or in exchange for work but never paid for, and I think they aren't allowed to travel using motor operated vehicles - that's why a gnarled rootstock is an indispensable component of their attire. When a tradition like this is going on for centuries the emergence of certain networks, some form of infrastructure becomes inevitable - and it shows in carpentry journeymen associated "Kneipen" (a "Kneipe" being the germans' analogue of the irishs' pub) which are normal locals open to anybody but granting privilegues like free drinking and in case of no accomodation available letting journeymen sleep right there after closing - and having a carpentryman fueled by honour over at your local every now and then probably turns out quite helpful oftentimes..
6:16 Unfortunately, the meme behind the gentleman who was beaten is not the right one, and every (normal-thinking) person understands the problem behind it, the meme actually says "I didn't do anything, I just stood there and drank my beer" But unfortunately that only works in the right moment (example: in the game Wreckfest, if you have hit someone there, then you can say exactly that) but as I said, it only works in the right context
The guy from wife swap and his real wife - they got a complaint filed against them (or several IIRC) for having "fun" on their 1st floor balcony in broad daylight. So they live in an appartment complex with 5 stories buildings all around, so basically every neighbor was able to see them. Think of the song Bad Touch from The Bloodhound Gang for details.
I always feel a bit bad for the drug comissioner...she's not making the laws, and what she essentially tries to say in a very diplomatic way is she doesn't know either...
@@onestraystay8756 Hey, no worries! I just wouldnt have used that word, cuz slang to me means an established expression used in every day casual speech. "Was machen sachen?" is broken German although I must admit I sometimes do say it referring to that meme so it could be considered slang to some degree. :D
You're wearing a freaking Fall Out Boy - So much for (Tour)Dust shirt! Just the fact absolutely made my day, never would've expected this :D Loved it even more as I own the same one, bought directly at the concert :^)
3:28 This woman is a german legend, because she creat a new neologism in german language. In german we often ask: Was geht? = (What´s movin?) = Whaz up? And also every german now this words form chlidhood: Was machst du für Sachen? = What the hell are you doin/did? In german you need the Object in the sentens like Sachen=Things. So she combined it heoroicly to: Was machen Sachen? = Whaz up in here? Like a badass granny breaching in ^^ 4:33 Farid Bang pranks in the interview an other rapper (beef), so he build up a story about US jail clichees, that some guys raped him to defreeze thier sticks :D
Yes, the interview took place at the height of a public debate about cannabis in Germany. As far as I know, the only role of the drugs commissioner is to defend the government's position and act as a lightning rod. The person who makes the decision is more likely to be the Minister of Health (and possibly the Minister of Justice).

13:50 The thing about "Make yourself some dinner" is that dinner or "Abendbrot" (literally "evening bread") in some parts of Germany is usually just bread with a spread, so he just told the kid "go make yourself a sandwich, okay?" The main hot meal of the day is eaten at lunch. This used to be the norm throughout Europe before industrialization and the 8 hour contiguous work day made it impractical. It is still the case in some parts of Britain as well, hence "supper" can mean very different things to different people.
13:00 actually the first german Wifeswap episode was broadcasted in 2003, the first american wife swap episode was broadcasted in 2004
The guy who used his belly as a weapon knew why we also call a beer belly a Biermuskel (beer muscle)😂
As a Bavarian I felt exposed, he's sooo Bavarian in the worst sense.
11:15 even better: one politician said weed isn’t to be taken too lightly cause it’s not broccoli.
Drachenlore (the streamer in the last clip), is a whole rabbithole of himself LMFAO
What you said about comment about the former german drugs commissioner: "That's a little bit scary!"
And most germans would agree!
She had no clue what she was talking about. For this job you should know about the drugs, the dangers as well as the myth.
But she just says what we know: "Because it's illegal!" I wish I had a job where I could just repeat stuff that people already know like a broken record! And that for a big salary like she gets!
8:16 The "Country Boy" was wearing the traditional clothes of a carpenter. The hat, waistcoat, white shirt and trousers are typical of journeymen who go on a "Walz". This tradition of travelling (Walz) after the apprenticeship dates back to the Middle Ages and was intended to ensure that the apprentice gained experience.
"Was machen Sachen?" is really legendary. The way this arabic/turkish woman is asking and the words she is using is just funny. And it rhymes. "Was machen Sachen?"
most plastic bags (when they were allowed back then) had the advertisement of the supermarket printed on and were reusable up to 3 times
2:13 "fancy" lmao
The ancient German beer belly fighting style
As a german i love your videos pls never change. Have a nice day!:]
15:50 This translation is wrong. It's "No matter you're here AND not". That's the most important part of this.
Dongsi-Döngsi 😂 best one
3:52 TV Total - Memes before the Word "Meme" was invented
08:25 Not a country boy. This is a carpenter in his traditional outfit. After their training, they often go on "journeyman years". They travel around the country and offer their services while they travel, learning new things everywhere. In fact, they are even forbidden to go near their home town during this phase. A very old tradition.
Out of curiosity, Ryan. What's the reason why you started your reaction on German videos in the first place?
12:28 german "frauentausch" was first aired in 2003
american "wifeswap" first aired in 2004
Noch schlimmer das wir so ne scheiße vor dem Amis gesendet haben
1:40 The meme only makes sense in German. Anorak (Anorak in German) and pineapple (Ananass in German) sound very similar in German. And grandma was a little older and confused it
Im a german and the traslation is a little bit confusing for a not german ,at the scene whit the schalke 04 Fan its said that its empty fot them but it dont mean the viewer whit this it meant
That the Season for them is over and the cant do anything any more
I Hope this was helpful 😅
17:20 -> This public swimming pool called Grugabad is in my home town! And the water is so "choppy" because it's a wave pool. It's now so unsafe due to aggression among rebellious young people that extra security patrols keep watch there.
Das ist das grugabad?? lmao
Ich hab so sehr auf das "SPRENGTS EUCH WEG" video gewartet und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht 😍
The quote from Andreas from Frauentausch (Wife swap) is actually more like :
"Everything stays as it is. There will be no changes! If you are here, and not!"
12:40 I felt like doing an origin check and with deep regrets I have to say ... we germans premiered that show a little over a year earlier.
in a way that doesn't even surprise me
Watching Ryan's first step into the Drachengame... oh no, here we go again.
i hope not. it would be embarrassing if he saw the fools on both sides of the story. the use of the term "drachengame" alone says a lot about them. No matter what a person has done, we live in a society in which we have institutions for judgment and punishment. bullying, persecuting, pressuring someone as a vigilante is stupid.
To call it a game shows your mental maturity.
@@patiplatsch83I certainly hope not. These fucking bullies deserve jail time as much as he does.
Greetings from Sebastian,
the german-american in Südhessen 😂🎉
00:25 You're right. Memes started as still images with a caption making fun of a specific situation, like a caricature. Once only used by nerds on their favourite internet forums they developed by time to become this massive meme culture we now have.
02:14 These were standard plastic shopping bags back in the days. Every shop had their own with their logo on the sides. To reduce littering and pollution plastic bags are kinda banned now and have been replaced with either paper bags or more durable re-usable ones. According to the question if zero or light is better: None of them! If you're struggling with either your sugar consumption or your body weight be assured that thinking about what to drink is just another indicator that something else is horribly wrong. Balance is key!
08:30 Classic, but unfortunately the joke got lost in translation. He's too drunk to even know his own language and although it might seem correct on first look, he answered the question what he did with something like "I have dancinged."
20:07 Drachenlord is one of the most famous lolcows in germany. Him struggling with his haters made it on public TV, bc he kept engaging and inviting them to his place. Not accepting any help it got quite dramatic. In the end the whole village he lived in got upset, he lost a court case, his yt channel followed and he sold his house to move on. He didn't learn or changed his behaviour, nowadays he's streaming on another platform.
The translation of the soccar fan is wrong, she asks on what place schalke 04 will land on and he responds wirh ,,alle" which means like everyone
i normally don't like reaction videos that much, but you watching those vids makes it way more entertaining
Actually the German-Version (Frauentausch) was first aired in 2003, Wife Swap appeared one year later.
He definitely missed the "Ich muss rauuuuus!" XD
The one with son of a who…is because there is a german song called „henri henrison der bruder von jürgen hu…sohn“ (Henri Henrison the brother of Jürgen son of a who…)
The Dongsi Döngsi lady actually worked at my employer's cafeteria when the video was made. Although I didn't start there until much later, it's still a running joke there.
On the other hand, she was mocked so much for it that she quit. A constant reminder not to give interviews on the street... especially not for TV total!
The guy @08:13 isn't a "country boy" but wearing the traditional carpentry attire of black corduroy fabric accompanied with the typical hat - you can see these guys sitting atop in-build houses across central Europe constructing roof trusses. After their successful apprenticeship period they become journeyman craftsman, walking from one construction site to next to further learn and improve under different masters. This journeyman period takes three years if I remember correctly and requires them to follow a traditional code.
Before leaving their home they'll have a party getting drunk, culminating in the great finale of having a carpenter's nail hammered right through one earlobe to wear an earring. If the journeyman carpenter would break the code by behaving in a way which would damage the guild's reputation other journeymen carpenters would confront him, rip off the earring and kick him off the guild - for this reason "Schlitzohr"/"slit-ear" is an expression for a person of questionable reputation and morals in german.
The traditional code consists of coming your home place no closer than a certain distance at any given time during their three year journey, never sleeping under the same roof more than once (In a row? Not sure about the specifics. 😅), only taking free accomodation provided by generosity or in exchange for work but never paid for, and I think they aren't allowed to travel using motor operated vehicles - that's why a gnarled rootstock is an indispensable component of their attire.
When a tradition like this is going on for centuries the emergence of certain networks, some form of infrastructure becomes inevitable - and it shows in carpentry journeymen associated "Kneipen" (a "Kneipe" being the germans' analogue of the irishs' pub) which are normal locals open to anybody but granting privilegues like free drinking and in case of no accomodation available letting journeymen sleep right there after closing - and having a carpentryman fueled by honour over at your local every now and then probably turns out quite helpful oftentimes..
*Dongsi Dängsi* - 😂 lol...lol...lol.
Where ist my oxygen mask?
2:16 imagine that being a fancy plastic bag xDDD
penny is known for their high quality fancy plastic bags ahahah
Loveparade video was from like 1998 - 2000 but before 2005 because the Police wears green Uniform not Blue
As a German myself i can say that the translation where the Rapper with the gun in the backround got interviewed is correct.
Idk if wife swap is originally german, but the first episode came out in summer 2003 whilest the american equivalent came out in fall 2004
The first broadcast of wife swap was British. 7 January 2003.
6:16 Unfortunately, the meme behind the gentleman who was beaten is not the right one, and every (normal-thinking) person understands the problem behind it, the meme actually says "I didn't do anything, I just stood there and drank my beer" But unfortunately that only works in the right moment (example: in the game Wreckfest, if you have hit someone there, then you can say exactly that) but as I said, it only works in the right context
Dirty Dingsi is also mein favorite movie.
12:05 Why did I never knew that there was a second part. It’s almost better😂
All translations are perfectly fine. I love this videos
It is much more fun when you understand german
The guy from wife swap and his real wife - they got a complaint filed against them (or several IIRC) for having "fun" on their 1st floor balcony in broad daylight. So they live in an appartment complex with 5 stories buildings all around, so basically every neighbor was able to see them.
Think of the song Bad Touch from The Bloodhound Gang for details.
"What do things do" is "was machen Sachen" and it's a form of greeting. Like asking how things are going.
That was a nice bavarian-beer-belly.
So called "Waschbärbauch instead of "Waschbrettbauch".
classic.
cool it takes quite some time and effort to come up with proper working translations for those clips, so well done.
The forza guy, was the legend streamer drachenlord. He also has a few episodes about him in Southpark
That Schalke 04 fan probably has one of the highest IQs within his club
- Lovely Greetings from Dortmund
Psycho-Andreas von Frauentausch ist übrigens auch Blauer. Der Verein scheint ein gewisses Klientel anzuziehen.
I always feel a bit bad for the drug comissioner...she's not making the laws, and what she essentially tries to say in a very diplomatic way is she doesn't know either...
In the evening germans eat normally bread with sausage or cheese. Warm food is usually served at lunchtime.
„Was machen Sachen?“ aka „What do things do?“ is german slang for „How‘s it going?“
How is that slang? Its just a cute old lady's broken German for "how are things" that happens to rhyme nicely that makes it funny.
@@Synox89 Honest question, Is slang the wrong word for that because your comment makes me feel like I insulted her😅
@@onestraystay8756 Hey, no worries! I just wouldnt have used that word, cuz slang to me means an established expression used in every day casual speech. "Was machen sachen?" is broken German although I must admit I sometimes do say it referring to that meme so it could be considered slang to some degree. :D
@@Synox89 Thx 🙏
17:56 That's wrong he said the team will be on "all" places. Or he said it's empty.
Dongsy Dängsi.
One of the most iconic movie "only known in germany" xD
You're wearing a freaking Fall Out Boy - So much for (Tour)Dust shirt! Just the fact absolutely made my day, never would've expected this :D
Loved it even more as I own the same one, bought directly at the concert :^)
18:17 I actually think he said alle as in "I hope they get all of the places" instead of "empty"
Good translations, good video, good reaction.❤
Hahahaha Drachenlord is "the greatest freestyle rapper of all time" 😂😂😂
3:28 This woman is a german legend, because she creat a new neologism in german language.
In german we often ask: Was geht? = (What´s movin?) = Whaz up? And also every german now this words form chlidhood: Was machst du für Sachen? = What the hell are you doin/did? In german you need the Object in the sentens like Sachen=Things.
So she combined it heoroicly to: Was machen Sachen? = Whaz up in here? Like a badass granny breaching in ^^
4:33 Farid Bang pranks in the interview an other rapper (beef), so he build up a story about US jail clichees, that some guys raped him to defreeze thier sticks :D
5:09 ...in the neighborhood, who you gonna call?
Best German Videos? I doubt that. But good reaction, Ryan
Yeah, well at least Andreas was in there. :D Also the cute "was machen sachen?" granny is also pretty solid.
Oh you guys also say "potato camera" over there when it comes to videos with rly bad quality 😂
Like your channel btw 😊
10:29 this one really made the rounds. a lot of these vids are quite well known, but this one reached another level
Yes, the interview took place at the height of a public debate about cannabis in Germany. As far as I know, the only role of the drugs commissioner is to defend the government's position and act as a lightning rod. The person who makes the decision is more likely to be the Minister of Health (and possibly the Minister of Justice).
after all, its not broccoli...
Why is "Stapelfahrer Klaus" not in this video?
