A fun little trick to make german sound less angry is simply not screaming while speaking it
You're absolutely right. If one angrily yells "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!" at a fairly robust volume in English, it sounds pretty intimidating too...
People scream because for the longest time the only reference to the German language we had was Hitler and he screamed all the time, so ya, just don’t scream
It has to be shouted out angrily !! Otherwise I'm confusing it with Australian mate ! Maybe Icelandic?
Nonsense. The only efficient way of communicating is to make absolutely certain you're being heard. Therefore, German _must_ be shouted.
It was different times back then.
as a german i am amused and offended at the same time
You shouldn't be offended, it's a fact that german language is angry 😂😂accept it 😂😂😂

I never heard about this tradition „Dickbauch“, and I’m german. And somehow german sounds a little bit different in Germany, we don’t have a problem with our hearing.

And Marzipan Kartoffeln ist doch sehr lecker!
@@dennisem.8886 Hab die glaube noch nie gegessen
Dickbauch? We don't say that
Wtf ist "Dickbauch"?
You should invite a real German to avoid spreading a cliché.
Real German celebs spread clichés in foreign countries too. Because it sells and it's what people want to hear.
But she is German. Canadian-German to be exact.
@@manchesterunitedno7 yeh but nah but yeh but ... oh well whatever xD
lighten up
Germans celebrate Christmas on the 24th, gift-giving and feasting. But the 25th and 26th are also reserved for family time and tasty treats.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's Latin America too. Party up to midnight and morning till the afternoon lol
Not saying they’re quite a bit German, but that’s why the British Royal Family exchange gifts on Christmas Eve and the rest of the country do it on Christmas Day.
*are for Krampus
no one cares
How can someone say that german christmas candy is bad?! She probably never went to a christmas market in Germany

As a German I've never heard of Dickbauch tbh, also Lebkuchen is as sweet and covered in Chocolate as it is spicy at times. The whole punishing angle and twigs part is based on old folklore, not modern rituals that are usually still practiced.
They certainly are in some places ... was quite surprised when I moved to the Oberland.

All good and yes she edzadgerated a bit. But yeah the people are kinda schitzo
Cold country. Hard country. But they forgive fast and they don't have death penalty for offenders. So I wouldn't get my way and be able to kill criminals. They'd let the criminals live. Guess I'll check out Texas. ..
It’s funny how almost none of these things are remotely true. 😅 Germans don’t scream or talk angry, their sweets are great.
Another tradition that comes from Germany: The christmas tree. You're welcome, USA!
I knoww right. Let's not forget that european immigrants (colonialists) brought Christmas and their traditions to the US and Canada once..
@@iMaeggY thats mostly dutch
Thank you for the holocaust museums.
German sure sound very angry when your guest purposefully pronounces it angry.
It's also a very direct language even if said more softly. I think it's because of how it flows.
Not really. Comparing to other western languages it definitely sounds more angry no matter the tone.
@@perpelle Yes really. This woman is pronouncing it a lot angrier than any german would regularly. I should know since yknow,I am german and speak the language every day and hear it spoken every day. Normal people dont yell "WEIHNACHTSMANN" like that.
@@Shazam1998 Off course she is overdoing it, but it doesn't matter.
Being German doesn't help though as you are known for being bad at every other language ;)
Sometimes I even thing that the french are better at English then you are.
Hard to compare when you only speak one language.
I pass through Germany at least three times a year, speak several languages (not fluent in german though) and I still think you sound harsh/more angry compared to other languages.
@@perpelle Are you ok? Do you have nothing better to do than to suddenly start insulting people for no reason? Dont know if youre doing this to feel like a tough guy but you can drop the act.
That was about the worst attempt of making German and German traditions look bad. None of what she said is remotely accurate.
Also, Lebkuchen is simply gingerbread, just better 😂
Don't disturb the americans in their bubble. You know, we are the bad "socialist" nation nonstop screaming while wearing Lederhosen and Dirndl. ;)
@@luckyqualmi ganz ganz komisch 🙄
Wieso Googeln sie " Lebkuchen" nicht einfach dann das würde das sogar in der Übersetzung stehen

So ein Blödsinn...so redet kein Deutscher! 🤦🏼♀️
I'm from Germany and NEVER heard of "dickbauch"... that's not a thing.
Ich auch nicht😂😂
hab ich auch zum ersten mal gehört. vermutlich hats sie es mit dem schimpfwort fettwanst verwechselt
Canadian Germans are just different I guess. Sie haben Dickbauch. Und Koriander Lebkuchen?!?!
Our German kids aren't scared of the Weihnachtsmann, because we don't yell his name in their face, like Sarah did to Conan!
Instead of explaining what's inside a "Lebkuchen" she could've just said that she's talking about gingerbread and everyone would've known what she's referring to, no?
I mean gingerbread is spicy and not very nice compared to other candies.
@@LeeH688 hmm German gingerbread doesn’t taste spicy at all imo, it’s also deliciously coated with sugar frosting or chocolate 😋
German Gingerbread is AMAZING
@@LeeH688 Interesting! But then she could have just said it's similar to gingerbread, but not spicy.
Crazy German Elliott
Beautiful Canadian Elliot! 😍 ✌🇨🇦
Was auch immer...
One of the few that actually give a crap abou sounding properly and not to talk gibberish, when she spoke german on Scrubs.
They really did some good fun stuff with her Character in Scrubs with German joke's...
Even before enduring two minutes of this §$%, I realize:
1st: Ms. Chalke should work on her disturbed relation to her (German) mother.
2nd: Ms. Chalke and Mr. Conan may have indulged too many American movies on WWII (hence the German shouting).
3rd: Even Americans like these two might eventually come to accept that other cultures, doing things differently, have their legitimate place on earth - it's called tolerance!
4th: She's not American
In case you're wondering, Marzipankartoffeln are marzipan balls covered with cocoa powder
The most of what she is telling Conan is a big pile of crap! First of all, in Germany it's not Santa who brings the presents. It's the Christkind. And shoes?!! Maybe on St. Nikolaus day (December 6th).
The best thing was that Lebkuchen is supposed to taste like pepper (?????)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have discovered someone from South Germany!
That's the problem with "German" traditions.
Over 300 little countries forming one big one. There is no German culture as such
natürlich gibt es den weihnachtsmann, also santa clause, in deutschland. viele deutsche sind nicht sonderlich religiös und feiern ein sehr säkulares weihnachten, das keinen großen bezug zu jesus hat.
Non of what she says about Germany is true. It’s lies... all for some cheap laughter.
German is the language of poets and thinkers... 🙄
English is comparatively primitive.
WAHR!!!
Its true then about the lack of humor in that part of the world.
That's pretty true
have you ever read english literature? informal american english can sound very primitive because americans love slang and abbreviations. and obviously, since america is pretty much based around immigrants, refugees, colonialists and former slaves, people have all kind of different accents, so hardly anyone speaks the stereotypical oxford english that the early british settlers probably still spoke.
and if we are talking about germans: the average german struggles with its own language (especially grammar and spelling) all the time and even with traditional dialects are dying out, people who actually speak good standard german are rare outside of academia.
Yes, German, the pinnacle of sophistication; slamming words together is the language equivalent of cavemen banging rocks against each other. But it is efficient lol
Every language sounds angry when you scream it like that...
Btw. i think the Chalke family does a special christmas... not a german one... ;)
I think it’s a stereotype that german sounds really harsh and rough. Personally i find Russian way rough.
@@rikenm well, that probably comes from ww2 and hitler...
i'm german and we dont talk other than like americans ;)
But yea, i mean every language has its stereotypes :D
to be fair, german does sound aggressive. selbst geflüstert.
@@behabtwa aber nur, wenn du das R rollst. und aus dem s ein Z machst. und es auch wirklich sehr aggressiv aussprichst
for sure. she went a bit over the top but german and arabic speakers definitely sound a bit angrier than most speakers.
When you Google "Dickbauch" you find all But English sources that Germans call Christmas Eve that way and Not a single German Page. Being a German and Loving Christmas Traditions i can honestly say its the First time I Heard it.
you mean all but german sources :)
I am from Germany but have never heard of “Dickbauch” 😂 but hey, I guess every family has another tradition :) that what makes Christmas beautiful :D
Well you have to clean your shoes on the 6th of December and only then you get the candy, not when you’re good. You get Christmas presents when you’re good and when not you get beat by the stick or Krampus comes depending on the region.
Also german Candy and baked goods are legendary, why is she describing them so weird?
Her german is good - but the screaming in order to make it sound aggressive and force cheap laughs is horrendous!
Came here for German commentary correcting everything she said. Not disappointed - as a German I approve 😂
As a German-born American, I can confirm absolutely none of this! The German language is wonderful and very precise. Christmas is contemplative and rich in tradition.In the USA, Christmas is a celebration of consumerism sponsored by Coca Cola.
German can sound very varied, depending on speaker, dialect or occasion. It can also sound very romantic.
Well the sad thing is that the Americans don't really know that Santa Claus is actually called Nikolaus (German) and the right Christmas fulfils exactly that with the shoes and gifts in there. But of course Coca Cola had to invent Santa Claus and the Americans believe that this would be the real one and how they celebrate the festival right. The Us Americans are so blinded by how the world truly is and how things are truly are and how there came to be. Nikolaus was a real Person but they don't know all that
Coca Cola did NOT invent Santa Claus lol!
She clearly has no Idea of german traditions... lol
Convo: Whats wrong with Europe? Everything. (Apparently)
Healthcare: REALLY? The nerve you lot got!
Tf are you even trying to say
@@leobe2104 Just pointing out that the state of affairs in the EU and so on compared to US, in terms of Healthcare is much better.
It's not even related to the video as such.
Love Coco! Apologies.
she is canadian, they have a very "european" health care system.
How is she half german and can’t get one true statement together… I think the USA is the last country to have the right to make fun of other countries especially European countries. I mean so many people in the USA still think Europe is a country… 🙄
"German" in the video title
Germans: This comment section is now annexed territory of the federal government of Germany!
😂
JAWOHL!
We Germans just really love Scrubs :D
If it’s not Reich it’s not right
😂, 🇩🇪 🇨🇦 we always received a marzipan shaped pig, for luck. Love Scrubs!
Evidently Conan never read the Brothers Grimm which is all about children who are either killed or enslaved.
Called Blitzkrieg
So many angry Germans in here haha
More like disappointed. There's a clever/smart way of making fun of the German (or any other) language. :)
We just aint as narcissitic as u americans,we stopped with that after we lost the second world war Back to back lol
No wonder. So much bullshit she is telling.
Once upon a time, I was hired as an extra for "Scrubs." In between filming scenes, Sarah brought her dog into the extras' holding area. It was so funny, her dog was trying to meet everyone.
Haha what kind of dog did she have ? How did you get hired as an extra ?
@@Gsega I can't really remember the type of dog she had. It was some kind of hound or shepherd, but not a German Sheperd. It was a bigger dog with brownish fur. That was back around 2004/05. I became an extra though Central Casting, which is a specialist extras casting agency in Hollywood.
@@skyden24195oh neat. Thanks for answering :)
Another tradition is dancing around the Xmas tree with a sausage in your hand and singing Rammstein songs on full volume and waiting for the police comes by and all together will have 5 or 6 beers together before take to hospital 🍺🍺🍺😎😎🤘🤘👍
So easy to make fun of other countries traditions when yours has none...oooooops....!

December 6th is St. Nikolas day. He is not our Santa Claus (Weihnachtsmann).
I’m still confused about the German candy that tastes like pepper. I’ve never heard of it. I got chocolate and candy in my shoe as a kid.
@@maggie7843 I really don't know any candy that tastes like pepper. I am not sure but there might be a little bit of pepper in Lebkuchen (gingerbread) and Spekulatius (speculoos biscuit).
Same in Belgium and the Netherlands. "Sinterklaas" on the 6th and "kerstman" at Christmas.
@@maggie7843 I think she means Pfefferkuchen/Lebkuchen (Peppercakes/Gingerbread) which sometimes taste a bit like pepper. But if yu get the right ones they really don't taste like pepper. (There isn't even pepper in them. Pepper just used to be a generell term for spices.)

..On the 6th of December is St Nicolas day..Christmas is on the 25th and the 26th...and that’s not specifically German.
Right. Nikolaus (and Krampus) are the ones with the "sinners list". The "Weihnachtsmann" or in other regions the "Christkind" come on the evening of the 24th to bring presents.
@@pedterson well, santa clause/weihnachtsmann is a combination of the christkindle and st.nicolaus. that's y santa has a list good/nasty children
as a german this is totaly wrong she has no idea about german christmas
She went from 2nd Becky to Elliott to Beth. What a legend.
With a little bit of Stella sprinkled back in
She's awesome in Firefly Lane. After Scrubs I would say its her greatest role
She has the exact same voice of Jennifer Lawrence!!!

And by the way the Christmas tree was "invented" in Alsace (Elsass) near Straßburg (France)
But at the time it was invented the Alsace was part of the Holy Roman Empire and not of France!

Waiting for the inevitable “I’m German and I didn’t understand any of her German phrases” 🙄🙄🙄🙄
No her german is not bad but very aggressive sounding hahaha.
It's quite accurate. Just a bit less aggressive than the normal cadence..
I’m German and I didn’t understand any of her German phrases ... But it is because they always scream so loud, when they try to speak German and I use headphones.
Her german is good - but the screaming in order to make it sound aggressive and force cheap laughs is horrendous!
@@BlammoGer Right, she overdid it, way too forced, not funny.

Thank you for this, I forgot that in my eastern european country we also put out our shoes for gifts. Memory recovered.
Wow. What people do for cheap laugh's. Every language sound angry if you scream
Exactly
@team coco you should've invite someone over that actually lives in germany for the christmas questions too. sarah chalks' mother's christmas informations seem a bit outdated. and i know you guys like to make fun of the german language, but dont over exaggerat it to much
Was labert die, die verbreitet ein total falsches Bild
So spricht kein einziger Mensch in Deutschland. Sie vermittelt ein total falsches Bild von unserer Sprache

Yeah, but Ted shouldn't have invited the exes to the wedding.
I don't like how everyone exaggerates our language
what kind of weird ass noises are coming out of her? 2:16
Wow we use to do that back when I was a kid. Leave out shoes and santa would leave use candy's. I'm Mexican buy the way. But for some reason we stopped doing that after awhile.
@chofascc cool thanx for the info. I just remembered doing it once or twice when I was a kid and then stopped doing it.
Its actually very popular but its changed in many cultures. Gold candies in shoes. Now its citrus in stockings.
Whoever censors this comment section ..... just impressive ..... very impressive
strangely German only sounds aggressive when its spoken by Americans .....

Dickbauch? I‘m german, I never heard of that. Even Google doesn‘t know of that. It‘s probably a family tradition but not a general German tradition.
Warum können die Leute , wenn sie Deutsch sprechen, nicht einfach normal sprechen? Deutsche sprechen nicht so. Und hier werden deutsche Traditionen vertauscht und vermischt.
Nicht jede Tradition die eine deutschstämmige Familie hat, steht für alle deutschen Familien. Ich finde es oft witzig, aber hier wird alles regelrecht beleidigt und lächerlich gemacht.

Its not Santa Claus or Weihnachtsmann who comes on Dec 6th. Its St. Nicholas of Myra
I really don't understand why she keeps repeating these unrealistic, exaggerated stereotypes over and over again. As a German, I feel really offended by such thoughtless and outrageous behavior. I'm pretty sure, even Sarah's mother doesn't find her daughter funny and isn't proud of such discriminatory stupid talking. First use Your brain before You start talking. And to me it seems You never got to experience the real german "Heilig Abend" or You deliberately are telling crap for the sake of popularity. That's pathetic and miserable. And if it was meant to be comedy, You failed due to Your pretty bad acting.
