I’m British and happily admit that Germany is... well... it’s like Britain, except it’s cleaner, more organised, more disciplined, the transport networks are all superior, the beer is better, the women are hotter, the economy is stronger, societal wealth is more balanced, houses are bigger, decent cars are cheaper, people are more honest and direct and finally (and most importantly) German women are hotter. Oh... and the women are more attractive. And also, the German women are nicer... and hotter.
saelaird May I ask what exactly is more attractive about German women than British women? I often read that we are far too masculine and ugly. Would be intersting to know
I'm half german and I think he is very funny. I think he is helping to break down barriers by pointing out the funny side of both nations, and his accent is brilliant too.
One room still available in Berchtesgaden? I'll take it. Can visit Konigsee, check out the trees growing where the Berghof used to be, walk the track to the old tea rooms & hang out at the Eagle's Nest for a beer & more. Berchtesgaden is beautiful..and now you can visit there without a party membership!
Haha, love this. Like a live action version of German language Gcse textbook representation of German people, which is how the majority of English people i know have been brought up to view Germans....
Well I am German, too but find him funny. Stereotypes are what people associate a country with; rightly or wrongly. I think he promotes Germany quite well.
As a british man he is quite funny, but to me - a German - he isn't that funny. His humour is based on prejudices against Germany but in Germany we don't have prejudices against our own country :D So probably funny for a British man but not that funny for a German ^^
I live in Germany and it is true that Germans have a sense of humour although in most cases it does seem to be still stuck in the seventies. Apart from the genius that is Helge Schneider and various political satirists. In fact german political satire makes it look as if we Brits don`t have a sense of humour!
"There was one German bomber in the air, there were two german bombers in the air, there were three German bombers, four german bombers, five german bombers in the air"! Haha quality.
what I am trying to say is that the German people have much more reasons to hate the English than visa-versa...yet they have moved on and choose to accept the English as fellow European brothers.. I lived in Germany for four years and, with the exception of Dresden (who also do not like Americans very much), found no animosity to the English whatsoever. In other words-let's all get along and just forget the past mistakes and just love each other....the past is the past and should be buried.
We have a Bavarian town here in northern Washington state called Leavenworth that is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite time to visit is in the winter as the snow adds a beautiful effect. It looks like you went back in time as soon as you drive into the area.
Hey, Henning! Nice one mate, saw you in Nottingham, bought a couple of DVDs off you aswell - brilliant night, you were the best comic that night easily - and the DVD was fucking piss funny mate, keep up the good work Ambassador!
Henning is a top comedian and very well liked in the UK. His dodgy video kit from the noughties is not respected. At all. The three moving, albeit coloured, pixels on the screen made it look like a 1970s Czechoslovakian cartoon. Still gave it a like, though. It's HW.
in short: output control means that you evaluate the results i.e if the team makes the mark no questions asked. The German through put control idea means that you regulary check up and monitor the whole work process to find bottle necks with less focus on just the out put. With a German boss make sure that with every larger project of more than a few weeks you keep him up to date on your progress. And remember that this is a stereotype so it doesn't apply to everyone.
I don't agree at all. I like the french and I've lived there. Best time of my life. It's just that its not exactly the best place to get rich, or even employed.
He definitively is german. Sorry to disappoint you, but "ve" germans are funny sometimes. Or were you trying to be funny? If you were joking I'm excused, because I am german.
Henning chooses to live in the UK so either he prefers the UK or...... Germans do indeed lack a sense of humour which is problematic if your a comedian.......Simples !
I’m of German descent and I want to see Germany so bad....my sister is named Heidi and my brother was named Hans Wolfgang ,I just Heather which is scottish
We hate the Germans as a joke - we don't really hate them its just a laugh - its got more to do with football (soccer) than the war, cause they're better than us! But honestly we don't really hate them, we just say we do because its funny.
I'd say certainly Germany. Whilst our national dislike for both nations is mostly comedic (and this cuts both ways - they "hate" us too) I think the dislike of Germans is more seriously felt and more frequently articulated. But really we are just kidding (mainly) - unless theres a world cup penalty shoot out involved, then we really start to hate them! To be honest though, there's as much anti American sentiment in the UK as there is anti-German and French.
The demacratic party can insist all they like, in unregulated capitalism it will by definition make no difference, it was greed not political insistance that caused those loans to be made, and it was greed also that ensured them. You're right, it can't all be blamed on bush, but by the same token, its not fair to dismiss Obamas reforms out of hand before the event. Remember that critics of Bush have the benefit of hindshight, saying Obama 'will' fail doesn't even have that. Give him a chance.
@Yoyo90hahamoo his german sounds pretty ordinary to me as a german o_o also, talking about his "bad german": that should be "nationalistischeR quatsch", "quatsch" is männlich, not sächlich.
I'm German myself and with all due respect, I find him more or less dreadfully boring and just remotely funny at best. If all he ever does is going on and on about old prejudices and war stuff I don't think he'll be in business for very long. His voice annoys the hell out of me.
from you Germans out there who did not like these "old" stereotypes: can you tell me some new stereotypes of Germans? What new ideas do foriegners normally have when thinking about Germans? Good and bad....for instance- only Michael Schumacher can drive formula 1 cars properly!! etc/etc
Sorry, your comment confused me. I think I didn't get it correctly in its meaning ^^ Of course making fun of stereotypes is common business, but I think it can be done more intelligent... It is - for me - too obvious, too flat (?!). Maybe I only think so as a German, but the stereotypes he refers to are already hackneyed. There are many stereotypes about Germans - I see it if I hear other's talking about us. So he could make fun of other ones. ^^ Okay, I see, I can't convince anybody... ^^
@gmekary Germans have a sense of humor that is so dry you might not realize that they are internally laughing (often, at you). It's a stereotype to say Gemans aren't funny or don't have sense of humor. Just because you don't "get it"........
well this is not my kind of humour. it's boring, i was hoping for something funny to come but it didn't. i guess i have to stick with the david mitchells, mark watsons and whatever-they-are-called of this world to have a laugh. and i'm german btw.
omegavalerius- yes I have seen many of those things! I will never forget one drive with my Schwabisch girlfriend in the Black Forest area....there were little 8 inch tennis-court- type green fences on either side of the road. I said what the hell is that Silke? She says- "oh, that is so our frogs do not get killed by our motor cars!" Only in Germany !!! (lol) But what do you mean by the English "output control only" princiapl and the German's problems with it? (DANKE for your German stereotypes)
He was not funny enough for German comedy. So what did we do? We sent him to Britain. Since he is now there the average level of comedy both in Britain and Germany rose ;-)
@nickcrossland No, actually that was my English teacher. The reason it's in my profile is a joke I have with a friend of mine who is also on RUclips. Nevertheless, it is a sensible motto to have, but I find it hard to appreciate him. Still, I don't think I ever said I hated him either. Never mind.
@levilied91 East Berlin is actually the nicer part of Berlin today as they tried to keep some of the old buildings and open spaces despite the communist regime. Whereas the west is all built up and not particularly exciting. I have spent a lot of time in west Germany and It is absolutely picturesque but as I'm sure is some of the east!
What a strange accent! It sounds like a mix of Bavarian German and South London! I want to study in Berlin in the future so I may end up with an accent like that! lol
Henning`s always sticking up for his people -and by "his people" I mean the Navi from Avatar. Germans have got a great sense of rhythm & I like their food but I would`nt want my daughter to be blitzkreiged by one of them.
I love how he takes the piss out of britain so casually even though he lives in Britain
I’m British and happily admit that Germany is... well... it’s like Britain, except it’s cleaner, more organised, more disciplined, the transport networks are all superior, the beer is better, the women are hotter, the economy is stronger, societal wealth is more balanced, houses are bigger, decent cars are cheaper, people are more honest and direct and finally (and most importantly) German women are hotter.

"They could visit with their parents...."
"Nah, they can't, they only have one parent."
"Why? Where's the other?"
"In jail."
IM KNAST!!!!
Love the guy. Seems like a genuine and fun man.
'They say we Germans have no sense of humour, I for one, do not think that's funny' priceless!
i really like his humour - refreshing i think he is very popular here in england especially for what he says about us brits - great !!
"Or we'll visit you"...on one hand it's the most friendly-sounding sentence ever....and on the other hand it's terrifying.
That said, why was this uploaded with a potato? I mean...it obviously wasn't even the latest model of potato!

I’m watching in 2024 and the quality is absolutely terrible.
Brilliant! My favourite German comedian next to..em..err...anyway he is!

i love the way he plays on stereotypes of Germans
It's like you watched the programme and got the jokes.. well done for you
Haha, love this.

Henning you are a funny guy, keep up the excellent work.
"yodl yo dodl dooo"....*pauses* "it means nothing" hahahahaah!!!!
Well I am German, too but find him funny. Stereotypes are what people associate a country with; rightly or wrongly. I think he promotes Germany quite well.
great banner straight over the subtitles.

I love Henning

And when I was in Munich the train was delayed and we missed our flight back to England
I’m English and find this guy really funny ,
"There was one German bomber in the air, there were two german bombers in the air, there were three German bombers, four german bombers, five german bombers in the air"! Haha quality.
Yea, we gave you plenty of building work to do.
I'd move to Germany tomorrow
anyone else expecting Mein Kampf at 7:50 ?
Yes
I have never been to Germany, but my grandad used to fly over there every night ;p
there's also the Volkswagen Museum!
It's in fact called the "Autostadt" :)
This is really good! Well done and funny!
Love how threatening the end is x)
Lovely funny man. Very clever.
That was hilarious - I'm a Brit but I love visiting Germany. From now on though, I will only visit the west. Thanks Henning!
I love Henning.
I'm struggling to think why Germans would find him funny. His humour is really English
what I am trying to say is that the German people have much more reasons to hate the English than visa-versa...yet they have moved on and choose to accept the English as fellow European brothers..

Frau Heidi its fantastiche, never a truer word said.
240, what year is it? 3000BC?
+lautaro russo I was watching it in minus 240p, so I decided to up the quality to 144p.
Nothing wrong with German food it's all good stuff nothing wrong with a good sausage if you like beer it's a good place to go.
Food in Germany is great.
Even at 144p I can appreciate this!
satire and sarcasm oh what fun
Du bist ein Genie Henning! Ich habe so gelacht - vielen Dank!

I guess that by your reasoning you're allowed to hate the chinese because of their food. So please hate
The whole world take notes of the driving manoeuvre. Indicator out, pass slower vehicle, Indicator back to give way to quicker vehicles
He's the German Borat.
"...so much better than that Harry Potter nonsense!...........had me roflmao........lololololollol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........
#Henning: You forgot the #Messerschmitt Museum located halfway between #Bremerhaven and #Dover ..
I don't agree at all. I like the french and I've lived there. Best time of my life. It's just that its not exactly the best place to get rich, or even employed.
is that the bavarian beerhouse in old street?
He’s right, Germany has a lot to offer the holiday maker, but how often do you hear a Brit say they are going there for a vacation?
East Germany is the best. Peeling paint and graffiti makes it feel like home but sometimes the smell of sewage is an added bonus.
He definitively is german. Sorry to disappoint you, but "ve" germans are funny sometimes. Or were you trying to be funny? If you were joking I'm excused, because I am german.
Awesome! Henning Wehn is hilarious, puts an abrupt end to the ignorant stereotype of Germans having no sense of humour
mrkristoff he's got one joke: "You're English, I'm German. Let's examine the differences and talk about how much better Germany is than the UK".
Henning chooses to live in the UK so either he prefers the UK or......
Germans do indeed lack a sense of humour which is problematic if your a comedian.......Simples !
Maybe once Britain gets its political shit together, we can team up against the French together? ;)
Love this guy

Yes because national comparisons on economy and infrastructure are supposed to taken seriously on a RUclips comedy clip. -_-
Mr. Wehn. It´s great that you polished your English but please watch your German as well. It´s getting awful.
Don't get me wrong I love sausage, potato and .. cabbage
