Germany vs Austria: Christop Waltz on the difference between Austrians and Germans

- Hollywood actor Christop Waltz, star of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, explains the difference between Austrians and Germans.
Although the interview is slightly tongue-in-cheek, Waltz is well qualified to make the comparison. He was born in Vienna, the product of a German-born father, Johannes Waltz, and Austrian-born mother, Elisabeth Urbancic, who were set and costume designers.
As for St Martin Chalets, we love both Austrians AND Germans. We have many visitors from both countries every year, and we would find it very difficult to make a comparison. Honest! :)

Austria's greatest achievement is convincing the world that Beethoven was Austrian and that Hitler was German
Isn't that a quote from former German chancellor Willy Brandt?
Beethoven lived in austria and Hitler lived in Germany. Does it really matter where someone was born? If I would get a kid in India and than move back would it be Indian? Hitler even saw himself as german.
@@felixlps1 As did all austrians back then. I don't get your point.
@@felixlps1 You should should check up on his History again my Dude. He went to Germany 24 Years after he was born...
@@felixlps1 Beethofen lived longer in Germany than in Austria
2 Germans in a bar in London:
- 2 Martinis, please.
- Dry?
- NEIN! ZWEI!
I just started learning german(2 months). And I feel good to understand this joke.
Real story from my friends visiting a club in Berlin where the bouncer kept kicking them out. After a lot of attempts the bouncer said " I said 5 times NEIN!" and my friend answered "45?" :D
I don't know how to speak German but I still got that joke.
That definitely could have happened ;)
English and German are not my languages but i got the joke lol .
German: "The situation is serious, but not hopeless."
Austrian: "The situation is hopeless, but not serious."
That's quite it.

Well, look at how different the Germans and Austrians approach the covid-19 (corona) plague. We Austrians (in Tyrol) aren't allowed to go out. The military is patrolling and helping the people with various things/issues. Who takes things more serious?

@@OdinThorWalhalla und immer wieder gut

Actually Mozarts father was also a German from Augsburg-City in Bavaria.
He went to Salzburg after College.
Aleksandar Stanojevic Actually Mozart was born in Austria.
The most obvious difference is, in Germany there are no Kangaroos.
This is so good 🤣🤣🤣

This is an old German tale..
A German baby is born and he grows up not speaking, the parents try to get him to speak but he never does... until one day when he is about 13 they eat dinner as usual and the boy comments "the dinner was cold tonight" the mother surprised that he is finally speaking asks "why haven;t you been speaking until now? and the boy answers "because up until now everything was adequate".
eigentlich geht der Witz etwas anders und viel kürzer.
Wirklich, wie lautet er eigentlich? :)
😆👏👍🇩🇪
I almost laughed out loud in the middle of the night! This is so my husband and he's part German :)
I wanted to laugh but I forgot that I am German .
imagine being Austrian and your last name is Waltz. it's like being American and your last name is O'Bese
Ive travelled all around the US for years in various way and have live in many states, I have also been to many other countries when I was in the military.
Supposedly about 40% of the adult American population is "obese" but when you go out to most towns you do not see about 40% of adults being obese. I think the numbers are inflated to nip it in the bud before it becomes more of a problem, that's a typical American strategy, overexxagetating the domestic negative to mitigate an approaching problem (most people aren't discerning enough to realize that that is what the US does)
@Evocati
A few foreigners and immature xenophobes start crying like babys.
Close. I'm American and my last name is Diabetus.
@Evocati Never met someone with that name lol
@HR - 11FS - Brampton Centennial SS (2502) did laugh
Things that Austria and Germany have in common:
Both want to have nothing in common
haha kinda true
True story
Basically, yes
Good point👏
That's hilarious :D
Of course germans don't have fun and humour anymore. Last time we had fun, the US and Great Britain had to help France.
@Captain Brandon Horror Film Lover Those kind of jokes are the typical German humor. Maybe thats why ppl say we have no sense of humor. We have countless of them, many even to me quite inappropriate. Strange enough for a people so ashamed of their past not even wanting to put up flags..
Not much fun left in Germany , still we have the Autobahn without speed limit, mmmmh lets invade somebody like to US and the Russian do....... basically we do have some experience
There ist nit much humor left in Germany. Eighty years ago some f***ed up politician made a mistake and killed all the funny people...
You all realise that germany hasn`t been independent since ww2 and is very likely still occupied and being genocided?
Just take a closer look at what has been done to the germans&germany.
The winner writes the history that doesn`t make it right.
@ I`m not affiliated with any political party or ideology.
It`s a genocide according to the UN genocide convention and things that happened in germany 1945 < also qualify for that. You can`t occupy a country and then flood it with people who won the war. It even started before the last normal prisoners of war were let free.
Extermination to germans has been done to the end of both world wars and germanophobia was a word in english literature before all the other phobias were a thing. It`s also quite interesting how the "denazification" has been done and its incorporation into NATO & "the west". If your suggestion would have been followed things been done and happening would be way more obvious. It`s worse now than your suggestion. There are also reasons why things are blacked out and historic & archeological research is prohibited in regards to certain things and "the truth" is dogmatic.
I am german and i never laughed in my life time and i dont even know what sarcasm is.
Very true.
+Fritz W was that sarcasm? sorry i dont understand it
+Fritz W yeah i will thx bye

As a german, I want to be offended, but Christoph Waltz is just too good.
In a way he is very direct about Germans beeing direct...
Haha ja echt so😂😂😂
I love that even watching the conan show, the Germans do not catch the zarcasm. being that he talks about his lack of sense of humor hahahaha
This is honestly one of the funniest interviews I've ever seen. Unfortunately, Conan basically ruins it. Austrians should be proud to have made Christoph, whereas I as an American am ashamed that we have to lay claim to having produced Conan.
It's tue and that's why it's funny
the most famous Austrian was actually german and the most famous German was actually austrian....😜👋🏻
@King Nothing Not necessarily a good thing in this case...
and what about Mozart, Falco and Schwarzenegger?
@@-Eisenfaust- Mozart was German, technically ;)
@Valerie.221 Mozart (1756-1791) - Germany as a country (since 1871) 😂 So much for that. The HRR was ruled by the Habsburger between 1273- 1806 and the Habsburger were Austrians. Vienna was the residence of the emporer of the HRR *and* the capital of Austria, so dont say „Austria didnt exist at this time“. Why do you guys always think the HRR was the old Germany. It was just a alliance of same speaking countrys with a similar culture.

How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb? - One. They're efficient and not humorous at all.
:-D
German humor is no laughing matter.
stimmt
They aren't humorous at all? They voted for Angela Merkel.
Not really. The parties clarify it, if the winner party has not the absolute majority. The winner party seeks then other parties, until they together have the majority. So can also be someone Chancellor, whose party did not have the most votes.
heres a german joke in english:
last week Otto the German was driving from Germany to Paris to visit some relatives. A French cop stops him and asks the usual questions:
*cop*: name?
*Otto*: Otto
*cop*: address?
*Otto*: 341 Brandenburg Street, Berlin
*cop*: Occupation?
*Otto*: no, just visiting...
good one
Jajajaja
Not bad
That would not actually work on a translation into German. Occupation in the sense of taking over a country is "Besetzung" or "Besatzung". Occupation in the sense of work is "Beschäftigung" or "Anstellung". The joke works in English and it would work in french but not in German.
I'll give you all a little sample of german humor:
How many Germans do you need to replace a light bulb? One, we are efficient and have no sense of humor.
Hahahahhaah 😂😂😂
"they are polite and don't mean it". This is especially true for Vienna. On the one side it's "Guten Tag wie geht es Ihnen?" and in the mind it's "oida hoit di goschn du bleda wappla"
dei Kommentar is genial xD
+Lobster with Mustard and Rice naja wir wiener sind eigentlich immer grantig und unfreundlich haha
+Lobster with Mustard and Rice haha best comment. and so true xD
+Lobster with Mustard and Rice Besser hätte ichs nicht sagen können! :D
You are talking humbug regarding Vienna. In any tourism and service industry people are used to and show off a smile during their shift. But no country in tbe world is worse regarding a plastic smile than the Americans. They even have a friendly face when they tell you to fxxx off!
When you get ripped off on a slot machine in Vegas the waiter will make you to continue until you die poor. He will motivate you with a friendly smile untill you are totaly broke, on purpose. That is his job in the end. This kind of thing wont happen to you in a Austrian casino cause you have to pay for the drinks :-)

Almost everybody on the street avoids eye contact, frowns at you in the subway, service in grocery stores and restaurants is much more unfriendly than in say London and so on.

"They say exactly what they mean. Everything else is stupidness and slimy" this is so true 😂 Therefore Germans talk less than Americans or Britains because as a German i feel like US/GB citizens always talk about everything without coming to the point.
if you say that about US/GB citizens what could say about french people 😂😂😂😂
When I was in the US I hated the slimy "How are you questions" and how I am supppsed to say "good how are you".
Also I felt like many Americans I talked to just said things to please me or to have smalltalk. For exampke: There was one guy who asked me what my favourite subject in school was. I said history. Then the guy said "Oh yes history. Great, it was also my favourite subject" I was happy and began to talk to him about history only to realize that he didn't know anything about it. He didn't even know when WW1 and 2 started.

I suspected it
It's easier to distinguish the english speaking ethnicities/regionalism apart because of how unique their accents and cultures are.
Scots are mostly of Pictish Celt origin who were all highlanders and marsh walkers. The Irish are Gaelic Celts with Viking ancestry. The English are proto-germanic Anglo-Saxon tribals who got conquered by Romans and then French Vikings(Normans), who then got conquered by Danish Vikings. So much of the British Culture is unique to each other that even outsiders can tell them apart.
@@rahjeel dude, even though german is the national language in Austria most germans wont understand Austrians. We austrians have a so many diffrent dialects that if I would go to the next valley they speak completely different... Thats a Austrian song with a strong dialect:
th-cam.com/video/wmI2m06YFfc/w-d-xo.html
@@Dovakhin94 I did say English speaking natives are easier to tell apart because of their accent and choice of words. That's what is unique about Anglophone culture, the accents are a dead giveaway and anyone who has an inkling of understanding how the language works would easily detect the difference. The Austrian/German dialect split is very similar to many other countries that have the same cultural roots. Examples are the Scandinavian countries whom most do not understand each other with the youngest country ironically enough is the only one who retained the "Original" way the Vikings spoke which is Icelandic. My homecountry in Southeast Asia is a mix of Indonesian and Malaysian culture/language yet I can barely understand either one, even within my own country there are 111 dialects all of which are variants of the Indo-Malayan language and I can only speak ONE which is the national language.
No, it's the same as calling a Scot, British. And that's what they are, for their inhabit the *British* Isles, Great *Britain* nonetheless!
Austrians are Germans
Honestly from seeing Henning Wehn on TV occasionally, I've come to the conclusion that the Germans aren't humourless, their humour is just so dry that even English people don't always see it.
FINALLY someone understands our humour! It's true, German humour is very dry and often quite dark.
Life in Germany was tough back in the day. Germans didn't have the luxuries of investing time in the arts and theater , it was only until the late 1700s and 1800s that Germans tried to compete with their contemporaries in the Arts and it miserably failed, but FAUST was the only thing to come about(in Anglo POV).
Prior to that, Germans had to dedicate themselves to WAR and strategy because guess what? Germany is in the middle of EUROPE , its geography positions it to be invaded and sacked from both east and west.
England had the luxury to play around with theater and learn from the Greeks and French because of its NAVY and its isolation from Europe.
I would say that Arabs aren't known for their comedy too.
I don't know too much about German comedians other than Martina Hill and the little stand up i've seen from modern comedians isn't that funny. It's not the languge, its just the German point of view is sort of bland and boring like AMERICAN SUBURBAN comedians. But when German comedy is good , it's very dark and dada esque ...

I think what he said about Germans is very accurate in a way. Being almost painfully blunt while considering anything else "slimy" is very accurate.
While even many Germans are sad about other cultures being more polite (like England) and warm natured (like Greece) and open (like Americans), in the same breath they deplore that very often it's not very honest, it's just set phrases that don't have much meaning.
Many Germans come to the conclusion they'd rather be honest and blunt than polite and phony.
Saying nothing but what you actually think is very important to Germans I believe.
I'm German, but I might be wrong. Also Southern Germans are much more like Austrians in nature.
That's pretty much true. One thing that differs Germans from many other nations is that if you make a German your friend, you basically have a friend for your life. They are not as shallow to accept you politely, but forget about you or ignore you after a week or so. Canada for example is a great country for tourists, as the Canadians are extremely polite. However, real friendship is pretty hard to establish with a Canadian. And it's pretty much the opposite with Germans. They are not impolite or rude, they are merely very straight forward, but very loyal once you get to know them well.
As a Landsmann I just really can confirm everything you said
Same with Russians
@captain bluesky Und wos san donn de östareicha?
@@TheIllio As someone who works with Canadians and lives in Germany I couldn't disagree more. I guess this is how Germans see themselves...
A neighbor when I was growing up had fought in the German Army in WW2 as an Irish volunteer. (He was hoping to invade England, ended up fighting Russians for 4 years. Anyway he used to always tell a joke about Germans vs Austrians... in 1938 every Austrian said he was a German, seven years later every German said he was an Austrian.
He had another saying... WW1 was started by Austria but Prussia was punished by losing a third of its territory and cut into two parts. An Austrian started WW2 and Prussia was punished by being wiped of the face of the earth.

what's about all the discussions down here? there are austrians and there are germans. austrians are not germans and it's the same the other way round. if you didn't get it yet: christoph is joking, he's not insulting germany. there are bad people in germany and there are shit people in austria too. they are everywhere, you can't tell from the person's ancestry how this person is. there are only prejudices and they are wrong, so you can't depend on them.
and to the end: stop with the hitler comments. only because hitler is austrian or has ruled germany doesn't make the folk a bad folk.
no, german is the hypernym for a lot of local groups and austrians are one of them, so austrians are germans but they still austrians. but your right its just a funny story by christoph ....
Jakobus Matamoros "a lot of local groups"? you´re mixing up different terms. by group you mean ethnicity? nationality?
Here is wikipedia for you: "Today, people from countries with a German-speaking majority such as Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg, have developed their own national identity and since the end of World War II, have not referred to themselves as "Germans" in a modern context."
*****
you are absolutely right. so i think it is absolutely wrong to refer to austrians as germans nowadays, because if you do you use a terminology that is overcome and not accurate any more. in the old sense yes - mozart for example considered himself german, because of the affiliation to german culture and language. but if you´d ask him today - since terminology and meaning have changed - im pretty sure he wouldn´t consider himself german.
Jakobus Matamoros
depends if you use german as a name for a cultural group of ethnicities based on their history and cultural origin. austrian and german are unfortunatly used in term of nationality nowadays and therefor austrians are not germans.

I never understood when Americans or British people said that Germans are serious. As a Hungarian I've met a lot of Germans and Austrians and they were always friendly and funny. Same with the Dutch. I'm like a Dutch magnet, they've randomly come up to me since I was a little boy to hang out. Literally the very first friend that I had when I was 2 years old was a little Dutch girl who was on holiday with her family in Hungary. We didn't understand a word of what the other was saying, but we played together and laughed a lot.
As with france the modern image of germany consists of memories of the past mixed with the modern germany that you know - after the war germany had to be serious (especially with the politics) 》 this lead to the view most Americans have today and germans embrace the clichés of their country because sadly, the culture known to the world as german has been lost under Hitler.
To conclude 》no we are not always serious but we'd like to have the world think that we are.
It has a lot to do with the way the German language works compared to English. In German we tend to be more direct the closer we feel to a person. In English, no matter how close you feel to a person, you will always use a more indirect phrase as it is considered as polite. So in English you may use "Would you mind giving me xyz?" no matter who you are talking to. In German you can (and probably will) do the same to a person which you have a certain emotional distance from: "Würde es Ihnen etwas ausmachen, mir xyz zu geben?" But if we feel closer to a person we not only may switch from "sie" to "du" (in English there is only "you"), we also tend to be more and more direct: "Kannst du mir mal xyz geben?" (Can you give me ...) up to "Gib mir (mal) bitte xyz." ("Please give me xyz.").
In English this is regarded as very rude, in German it is not.
As you tend to use characteristics of your mother tongue in foreign languages and "Please give me" requires less English skills as "Would you mind giving me", English speaking people often regard Germans as unpolite or rude. Not to mention that most people have the German stereotype from cinema / TV (Nazi, Lederhosen, shouting) in their mind and hardly even know any "real" Germans.
András Agócs bojler eladó ?
@@Arcaryon Agreed! It's hard to actually not meet the topic of the Second World War in the internet as a German... even if you're like the most liberal person ever 😬 So to not get offended, Germans tend to stay serious at least when meeting people from other nations.

Germans can be very friendly in their way of beeing german. Bavaria and Austria are also very similar, more similar then the north of Germany to to the south. It is not all that black and white.

This was in contrast with another professor I met who grew up in West Germany during the same time period, great sense of humor and always made her classes fun, and was also just as kind. But anyway I found it quite interesting the differences between the two, both were good professors, but with radically different personalities.
Well, okay... Thats just personality. But the cultural differences between west- and east Germany were quite significant (obviously), even considering that it was just a few decades behind the iron curtain.
