The real German citizenship test (German character origin story)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- After 3 years of making short form content in Germany, comes the prequel of it all. The event that started a chain reaction of Germaness within and things were never the same… 🇩🇪🧢
- กีฬา
German dude immediately putting the test result paper into a plastic sleeve after reading it was a nice touch 😂
What else would one do?
Yeah but the document was already way too knittered, bad bad Wilhelm!
When working in China (in a German company btw) some years ago, I had made the Chinese HR really angry by always using up all the plastic sleeves they had for documentation. 😂
Am i the only German feeling the dopamine hit when he did that?
as a german i didn’t even question it 😂
"You are Engländer, or?" The extra "or" makes this so much better...
I do this sooooo much even when I’m lhome” in GB🤦🏻♀️
Perfectly eingebürgert!
That's the iconic way to express if you don't know how to use it properly... Just do it like you do in your native language xD
made such mistakes for 3 years OR SO (or like that)
Bloody hell. I haven't been to Germany for years and my mum was German, and I've only just realised that's why I STILL sometimes add that extra 'or' to the end of sentences (people have even remarked on it). Damn, I guess the German never leaves you.😁
Oder?
Willhelm Zimmermann.... it is so obvious why didn't i notice?
this is like Harald Töpfer! Pure Comedy Gold
Just in case anyone is wondering: Harald Töpfer is Harry Potter
As Liam is a short form of William it would more likely be Willy Zimmermann. But it could also be Schreiner or Tischler, but Zimmermann is a much more common name in Germany.
@@red.aries1444 Wilhelm sounds more german so it's the perfect choice :P William sounds british to the bone. But WILHELM! that's the guy you come to when your neighbors tree is reaching 1cm into your grounds :D
interestingly i know someone with wilhelm being his last name 🤔
Liam is short for William?
I thought Bill is the short form of William.
@@J.Crime123 well... look yuukoku no moriarty and you know it :D
but yeah that's also the only place where i've ever heard this abreviation.
no idea if a japanese anime can be representive of the british naming culture :D
2:33 says "So!", slaps both hands on thighs an gets up - a tiny yet epic detail - and absolutely german!
Dutch do this too (with “zo”) 😊.
Its also very British. Maybe a collectively Germanic thing?
@@RendererEPI think a Brit would be more likely to say, "Right..."
@@lxUn1c0 very true. Slap still counts though 😉
in the midwest, when their family meeting is getting too long (as always), to stop it, they also slap their knees and say "welp i 'spose"
The Adenauer joke was on point
And brandt new!
Den werd ich mir merkeln.
Unlike Adenauer himself.
I thought it was late
Someone explain this to poor me please.
"I sink so"
Reminds me of that Berlitz commercial, with the coast guard reacting to an emergency "We are sinking!" "What are you thinking about?"
WE ARE SINKING !!!!!!!!!!!
Hier is se German Koustgart! Whots a ju sinking äbaut?
@@Max-gu5sogolden! 👌😂
@@gandalfstormcrow7943
And what are you sinking about?😂
I cracked up at "Wilhelm Zimmermann" xDDD
I missed it, where?
@@dAEnschen2 at the very end of the clip at 3:55
Lucky Liam has the surname that can be directly translated to German 😂 Carpenter to Zimmermann sounds so funny to me, as if I can feel his entire personality drastically change in a second. You know what I mean!
Indeed, and Zimmermann can easily be translated back to English as Timberman.
@@ArmArmAdv I thought Zimmer was room?
@be6715 Zimmer is indeed room. But it's etymologically cognate with English timber. They are both derived from Proto-Germanic timra, meaning building or timber.
The English room is cognate with the German Raum. Although in German, it has the connotation of space. In English too, we say roomy meaning spacious.
Direct translation: Zimmer (DE) = Room (EN)
Etymological cognates: Zimmer (DE) = Timber (En)
Direct translation: Room (EN) = Zimmer (DE)
Direct translation: Timber (EN) = Holz (DE)
Etymological cognates: Holz (DE) = Holt (EN, historically meaning wood or timber, now extinct, except in some literary works)
Etymological cognates: Room (EN) = Raum (DE)
Direct translation: Raum (DE) = Space (EN)
That Zimmermann thing at the end, took me a minute to get it
At first I thought about divorce and a name change... 🙈😅
Can you explain
Zimmermann means Carpenter.
Carpenter means Zimmerman.
(And Wilhelm = William)
@@MagicL12345 Liams last name is 'Carpenter', which translates to 'Zimmermann' in german :)
@@MagicL12345carpenter means Zimmermann in german. He literally translated his last name into german.
Das-ist-genial!!! Ich lach mich schlapp! 🤣🤣😂😂😂 Wirklich, du solltest öfter längere Sachen machen neben den Shorts! Hier stimmt einfach alles, Timing, Atmosphäre, Witz! Einfach super..meinetwegen kannst du sofort einen Kinofilm drehen! By the way, ich hoffe natürlich auch auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen mit der attraktiven jungen Frau, dem Baby und unserem Lieblingsrentner!!
Sowas braucht lange zu schreiben um das timing richtig zu halten. Je länger desto überproportional schwieriger um das Momentum zu halten.
Einen Kinofilm ohne irgendwelchen Firlefanz der einen einfach nur 2h in den Kinosessel schockt wäre das richtige Format. Bang Boom Bang oder Guy-Ritchie-Filme wären nah am Format der bodenständigen Trockenheit deutschen Humors, aber fast schon zu normal.
Die Vorwürfe Deutsche hätten keinen Humor rühren daher dass Viele Trockenen lange nicht verstanden da sie nicht mit aufwuchsen, sondern nur spät-amerikanischer Slapstick (frühe Loony Tunes hatte großartige Dialoge zwischen Bugs Bunny und Duffy Duck), und die überwältigende Mehrheit amerikanischer Sitcoms die ohne "Canned Laughter Track" ihre Maske verlieren und sich schlicht nur als gemein und existenzieller Horror entpuppen. Man wirft uns Bosheit vor weil wir das Wort "Schadenfreude" besitzen, aber wenn wir nicht über Sadisten sprechen sondern echten Humor, so rührt es doch vom Kontext des "Hab ich Dir doch gesagt!" her, dem Leid und Schaden dass der Geschädigte über sich selbst brachte gegen jeden Ratschlag, gegen jede Warnung und dann auf die harte Tour selbst lernen musste.
Dagegen entspricht Slapstick tatsächlich nur dem Sadismus.
Wo die Sitcom funktionierte, war "Al Bundy" / "Eine schrecklich nette Familie" ("Married, with children..."), das auch ohne das Publikum das zum Mitlachen anstiftet, funktioniert. Es hat dann eine ähnliche Atmosphäre wie "Alfred das Ekel".
Wer noch Loriot kennt und sich daran erfreut, erkennt dass sein Humor ähnlich dem der Monty Pythons war, und beide erfreuen sich großer Beliebtheit in Deutschland. Leider findet sich nur selten noch jemand der sich das traut und kann und die Medienlandschaft scheint wenig interessiert an intelligentem, trockenem Humor, vielleicht gerade weil er zum Denken anregt, und versucht stattdessen nur den lauten, bunten, kräkeligen Hollywood's nachzumachen und wundert sich warum das nicht so richtig langfristig einschlägt.
Liam beweisst wie großartig und beliebt diese Form des Humors wirklich ist, und solang die Essenz nicht verwässert wird, wird es auch absolut grandios bleiben.
Alter... 😂
@@whisped8145
I don't like the way the baby keeps getting dropped.
That "JETZT" was personal 😂
So glad I stayed for the after credits scene
And so it began 🤣🤣 Looking forward to the full movie!
My lovely Mr. Singing Club, there was nothing to complain about
Yes, one could watch it.
There look once someone on!
The Liam multiverse is strong with this one 😅
I love this format! Please more of these longer videos
Sorry, i must say your wedding pictures are just soo cute
why are you sorry? that's wholesome af lol
@ghosthunter0950 just felt maybe i might come off weird as the pictures weren't really the main focus of the video 😅 i didnt wanna seem like a weirdo, lol
@@chelseabean7189 I noticed them too … my dear fellow weirdo.
Just 31/33 points? If I would have picked one person to pass the Einbürgerungstest without mistakes it would be Mr. Zimmermann.
The sparkling/tap water test alone should be two points, so it checks out.
A long Liam video??
Hilarious! And your Doppelgaenger really is a whole different human being in spite of being a mirror image of you.
2:18
"When I heard you were trying to become German because of Brexit, I..."
😂
Yeah! I don’t expect that one, so funny that I spit my food out 🤣
Liam and Valerie, this video was brilliant. Love it!
At this point you should direct a movie.
Loved the longer video, keep doing that Liam :)
Do you even lüft 🤣
We need part 2 pleaseeee Bitte Herr Zimmerman
I am a Brit living with a German in NRW Germany and the Stoßlüften is true. I live the experience every single day.
That will ongoing for ever 😂
My London born spouse and I are experiencing that since ages 😂
Stoßlüften works in Germany, where humidity is low. I lived there 2017-23 off and on. If I see low humidity here in the Midwestern US when it's cool enough to open the house, I do just to not run the air conditioner.
So Liam is William? Learned something new.
The dad puns make me curl my toes - every time 🤕
Its kinda like Willy
@@Chuckieleon a sidenote, exploring the topic of Willies - is perhaps Wonka a variant of Wanker?
Liam is the short form of the traditional Anglo-Saxon name William. The German equivalent is Wilhelm.
@@BoraHorzaGobuchulI’ve had that realization myself.
He’s Wonking his Willy. A true Willy Wanker.
Did not realize this video waa 3.30 minute, felt like 30 seconds, cause so fun that the time flies
add an hour. adenhauer... Oh my god that took me some time 😆
Now I want a full movie about this xD
Well, in due time, you'll have enough material for a whole movie, and I'm gonna watch
😂😂😂 Thank you, Liam and PLEASE don't change!!!

I have finished a B1 language course and a Leben in Deutschland course in the past few weeks. Quatsch. In these courses I have learned how to pass tests, not how to German. I have learned more in your videos, danke Liam.
Mülltrennung is very important! 😆
@@0815Horst *Stoßlüften* ist viel wichtiger!
Erm... Glückwunsch?
lol at least you learn something, the Dutch tests are just straight absurd from what I've seen of it 🤣
@@B0K1T0 the B1 and the LiD are damn useful, whatever traylor might claim.
Gotta say, you’re my favourite German TH-camr
The German dude alter personality takes over more and more. We also haven't seen the other German alters in quite some time. Soon British Liam will be gone too...😮 This starts to feel like a horror movie.😂
Einen wunderschönen guten Tag und herzlich Willkommen, Herr Willi Zimmermann!
😁
,,unglaublich” war das beste ahahaha Wilhem Zimmermann lustiges Idee 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Time Variation Agency(MCU)has new timeline outbreak

Genius💪🏼Herr Zimmermann
You are great! As an exacting German I cannot help but give you 1 2/5 thumbs up (rounded to the nearest integer, of course).🙂
💐 Ich gratuliere. Das Ziel ist erreicht. Ich arbeite seit über 50 Jahren daran, aber bei mir scheitert es schon an der Bekleidung. Und da kann ich wirklich nicht über meinen Schatten springen. Jedes Filmchen war ein Fest. Vielen Dank. 🪿💪
love the longer videos
Always Love the music choices ❤
Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhaaa.....Fantastisch! Kühles Bierchen auf der Terrasse und dieses Video! Can't stop laughing 🤣🤣
Came from the podcast and this was great. No wonder this took you days. Had a blast!
Besser als alle Shorts. Mach mehr davon!
Well done. Can’t wait for the next installment😊
If you ever did a short film 5 mins+ then I hope you get an award. Purely entertaining.
This was good! I’d like to see the rest of the characters bitte
Like they say in Germany; “Leben ist kein Ponyhof”. So don´t expect anything else. 🙂
These are VERY GOOD. Haven't seen these for a while. Very much enjoyed it
Thank you for all your personal details. Will help me to use it for so many things.
Love you 2! Sehr gut!
The best piece . . .
so far.
Great Stuff, love it! Also longer ones give so much time for little great details 😄☺️
i simply love it. Great humor
Glückwunsch!
Answer D for Question 3 totally got me! Let's take a "short walk" to Mordor. 🤣

Thank you so much for this special; now we know...
The new way with Podcast plus TH-cam ist really nice - gonna be a perfect evolution of himself

This was epic!! Very excited for the Liam cinematic universe!

I love you guys. I'm so happy for you, Liam. Wishing you two all the best. Love from Canada.
Honestly this is some of the best humor on the internet right now. I love it!
So funny! Great work mate, you show us the mirror… 😄👍
Ja, war ganz in Ordnung...
Jokes aside, well made Video Liam. The origin of your german self was great. I really hope this could be a nice storytelling for future videos, especially some longer videos like this.
