- Reaction To German Comedian Roasting UK (Michael Mittermeier)
This is my reaction to German Comedian Roasting UK (Michael Mittermeier)
I recently reacted to German satirist Voker Pispers (which I thought was brilliant) and asked for recommendations for German comedians or German comedy for me to react to and one of the comedians mentioned was Michael Mittermeier. In this video he roasts the UK. I really enjoyed this one.

Scottish is my favourite accent.
It's alright now isnae? Although Scottish isn't an accent, it's a collection of accents, there's Highland Scottish, there's Lowland Scottish, there's Glaswegian, there's Orkney and Shetland, there's a bunch more, but still compared to the English accents, especially those close to Scotland, Scottish sounds angelical... Because while the vocab between Northern English accents and Scottish is similar, the Northern English accents are all grating to the ears. Especially Geordie and Scouse.
Mine, too.
Although I also love the British who swallow the letter "t". I don't know specifically how that accent is called or where it's located....
It sounds a little bit like Hubert Aiwanger. He also has difficulties to pronounce "a" correctly. :D
@@livedandletdie you really think english has accents,lmao,compare swabian to platt,then we talk.
Mittermeier is a pro, his shows in England, USA and Germany differ. He adapts his kind of humor to the cultures. Look up his german shows to compare his way humor and what kind of jokes he makes here and there.
He also did this in Switzerland
Did not knew he went to UK/ US
I was wondering. It sounded like typical British humour with an accent. Cleaver guy.
Went to one of his shows in Austria, that was absolutely brilliant!
@@ValtintimeGaming He's a biiig anglophile. Loves travelling.
In germany his showes also differe a lot. When he appered on "Die Anstalt" that was a lot different from his usual "german comedy"
Since you talked about Mittermeier's brand of comedy being different from Pispers':
In Germany, we differentiate between "Comedy" (we actually use the English word for it) and "Kabarett". The former is (mostly) simply someone being funny on stage for the sake of entertainment, to make you laugh, while the latter would be best characterized as political satire and is usually very serious social and political criticism wrapped in humor because it would be too depressing and very hard to digest otherwise.
By the way, not to be pedantic, but in German the letter "v" is almost always pronounced like an "f" [Edit: It actually varies a lot more than I thought, see the replies], so you're technically mispronouncing "Volker" (not a real problem obviously, but I thought you might wanna know)
Cheers
in the middle of words v is v in the beginning of words it is f. Unless it's a Loanword in which it's always v... Such as in Volvo.
@@livedandletdie You prompted me to actually look further into it. Like you said, at the start of a word it depends on whether it's an original German word, in which case it's an "f "(Vater, Vogel, Volk) or a loanword, in which case it's a "v" (Vampir, Vulkan, Vase). When it's in the middle it skews heavily towards being a "v", although there are a few exceptions, such as "Kurve", "Olive" and "nerven" (I'm not counting words like "mühevoll" and "davon" since those are compounds containing words that start with v). At the end of a word "v" is always pronounced "f".
I think the reason I felt like it's almost always an "f" is because there are tons of words that start with the prefixes "ver-" and "vor-" and those are all pronounced "f".
So, yeah, thanks for correcting me and making me think about it further!
shouldn´t we germans not carefully evaluate this V vs F , before there is a suspicion of spreading misinformation. just to be correct. and also check before pointing this slightly mispronouncing, make sure that "who is mert" feelings are respected. look, not everybody is suited to face the harsh reality that some germans have such a love for details...
@@Bruddel Well, in "Volker" it is pronounced like an "f", so if I hadn't made a general statement about the letter beforehand, I could have avoided being wrong entirely :D
I feel like I did phrase the whole thing respectfully by framing it as pedantic and not a real problem, wouldn't you agree?
@@theboon13 *big grin* normaly i would now check the Duden, and research for while... na a stop at this point. you make a good distinction, so thumbs up. and this love to the details was a good example / joke. ähm. It was a joke, right ?
Speaking another language well and being entertaining in that language is not necessarily the same. Chapeau Michael!
I am Austrian and I literally grew up with Michael Mittermeier shows in TV. I do love his style and saw him live.
Through your reaction videos I now known his program even works in English. Thank you
Yeah same! But he made the same joke with the traffic light with austrians too! "Woa de richtige Foab ned dabei?"
Same. Since he is Bavarian there are a lot of similarities with our dialects. I had a German girlfriend from Bavaria for 8 years and I didn't have to adapt with my Carinthian accent.
BTW: I am really enjoying the crossover of a German-Austrian show named "Crooks" (Netflix) right now.
Josef: "Oida, I loss mein Habara net alan!"
Charly: "Alter, ich weiß nicht wat dat bedeutet "Haberer". Wahrscheinlich sowas wie Freund oder Kumpel, aber ich kann dich da drin jetzt echt nicht gebrauchen."
Even as aGerman I didn`t know that Mittermaier was capable of that kind of satirical humour. His bits in German have different topics and also have quite a different tone I would say.
doesn't surprise me. He did show up in the Anstalt once or twice
@@undertakernumberone1 I wanted to comment the same thing
I was wondering why I haven't heard much of him lately. He is successful elsewhere in the world too.
@@alis49281 He still does alot. He has a talk show on NDR, has guest appearences on other shows in german television. Maybe you dont see him cause the most ppl watch more netfix, amazon etc nowadays and not german free tv.
What a great video. Stumbled across this, but it's very apt to me. I'm a Brit (ex Army,) living in Germany, I've been here since 1991, so I understand both the British and the German culture. As it is, I love watching Michael Mittermeier, in German he is very witty and I didn't know he did English comedy, but despite his very broad accent (he comes from south Germany, Bavaria, where they are like the Scottish to the rest of the UK when it comes to accent) he did a very good job of making us laugh, but here's the point, most of his subjects are actually all based on true stories and events. He depicts the Germans as they actually are and after living here for 30 years, I see myself in his depictions. Great video, loved watching you watching him. Thanks for the giggles. Take care.
Nope, the Scots have the much better accent and of course music 😂😂😂😂😂
@@steffenrosmus9177 than who? 🤣
Mittermeier was the first who established stand-up comedy in Germany. He was kind of revolutionary.
We didn't really have subjects called "guilt" or "shame", but it often felt alike.
No That was Otto Waalkes
@@SpkeNo1 Otto is also a great solo comedian and was way before Mittermaier. That's right. But what he did wasn't stand-up.
He is a german comedy legend. One of the oldest and most successful, while still doing intelligent jokes, in our sphere.
one of the oldest? 🤨
@@raistormrs ok boomer, natürlich ist er nicht DER älteste.
ich bin ~90 geboren und mit ihm und seinem humor aufgewachsen.
die maßgebliche Zielgruppe dieser plattform wird ihn als eine der Legenden anerkennen, von fossilen abgesehn.
@agromx224
Ach, dann gehören Sie zu dieser Vollpfostengeneration?
Well and then there is otto undead comedian who does the same stuff since 1970😅
Mittermeier when he came to Switzerland he basically made fun of us for 90 minutes in a row and I cried of laughter through half of it🤣
It 's so funny for me to watch you enjoy German comedy and at the same time to watch Michael doing his show in english language.
I grew up with Michael 's comedy, I'm able to speak english and I HEAR the bavarian accent.
I like it a lot that you're spending your time in watching, enjoying and telling what you think.
Thank you 😊
As a German, I have to say that I love Scotland. I have been there several times and I have never encountered friendlier people than the Scots. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure there are assholes in Scotland, too - there are dumb-asses all over the world. But those I have met have been open-hearted and kind. God I miss Scotland...
Absolutely right, even the assholes are open-hearted and kind😅
My cousin is married to an Englishman and lived in Manchester 15 years ago. I lived with her for three months and because I couldn't find a job, I went back to Germany. I had almost only positive experiences with English people, the humour is simply amazing. In the supermarket (ASDA) I was looking for a certain spice paste and was searching up and down the small shelf and was completely concentrated. Suddenly, a very small, elderly lady tugged at my sleeve, smiled at me and said "'Scuse me, are you done counting the packages of spices? Or do you need another moment? Otherwise, I'd like to go first!" And I laughed tears. We talked a bit, the lady was absolute golden. There was a little stand outside selling soft ice cream and I was about to order one after shopping when the elderly lady came out of the shop and I shouted "Hey Lady, would you like an ice cream to apologise for the wait? I'll pay, of course!" and she shouted "I'd love to, when do you ever get a useful gift from a German?!" 😂😂We ate the ice cream, she thanked me and shuffled off.
Lovely ❤
Love that Story 😂
❤🎉
I would say the german party tourists are the same but less intense, because they have to get up early and reserve a spot near the pool with their towels 😆
🤣
It has to be said that we Germans love Scotland and of course the Scots too. We just can't really do anything with England. So when we joke about the UK, it's actually only about England 😅
-- and we love Scotch whisky.
Kind of pretentious to talk about "we germans". I can't do with the entire UK and I'm german. I skip right to the comments in these videos to read about "us germans" proudly congratulating ourselves being called funny by some random guy from Scotland.
Hi. I am German.
There are very stereotypical ideas about tourists from the countries. German tourists (boomer age) are at the pool very early to lay out their towels, wear beige sandals with white sports socks for example ... British tourists then catch the eye when they are very drunk, loud and rampaging through the beach promenade and leave behind a devastation. Some Germans (not boomer age) see this as a challenge
have a shot at Loriot / Vicco von Bülow. Most distinguished German humorist ever. President Material, but passed away in 2011. Gives you a deep insight into the German Biedermeier Soul. Might not be percieved as funny for 90% of modern audience, but that joke with the DIY Nuclear Power Plant as a kid's Christmas Present is really good. And also, of course, "das Bild hängt schief". Humor is rather sombre but deep, and it takes a while, but then it hits.
Don't stop your scottish accent, it's the reason a lot of people are seeing this.
Godspeed :D
I can only agree and recommend to give Loriot a try. Not all of his material aged well or is well understood in modern times, but some of his sketches are timeless classics.
Loriot is awesome. My favourite but I fear some of his shows with Evelyn Hamann could be difficult to understand for non Germans because so many jokes are based on knowing the cultural background... but Mert could give him a try.
Loriot can get problematic because of copyright claims. Most of his sketches have been taken down from TH-cam. His heirs are very litigious when it comes to copyright. They even sued Wikipedia once because there were pictures of stamps with Loriot figures on them in the article. Stamps can normally be used in Wikipedia, but the heirs actually won in court.
Bülows comedy is very hard to translate...
@@Kjartan1975 Das Bild hängt schief, funktioniert sicher. Um ganz ehrlich zu sein, glaube ich dass Loriot von dem Bergsteiger Sketch von Monty Python inspiriert worden sein könnte...
Love your channel and thank you for this. I have only ever seen/heard Michael Mittermeier speaking German so it is a real treat to experience him do a routine in English. 🙏🤗
MM is definitely a good man, heard of him in 1998 first time, still keeps the bar up. Never chavy, always spot on
Thanks for a really good laugh 😂 I needed that today 👍
I am about your age and went to Ibiza often aswell. As a German, you can probably guess where I was staying, since even today, one can pretty much connect the bigger towns to certain nations regarding tourists.
So yes, we stayed in Santa Eularia, and my mum took me to Sant Antoni once. What I saw mentally scarred me for life haha. Brits on vacation show even worse behaviour than my German fellows.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing. Until now , I have only seen Michael Mittermeier performing in German. Hilarious to hear him in English 😅
Great contribution to national understanding! Subscribed!
My experience with a drunk Englishman on the Mediterranean, true story, which I experienced exactly the same: I was in Malta a few years ago in the summer; on one of the few beaches; on this beach the shore went down steeply, after 1.5 meters you could no longer stand and had to swim; I was standing/swimming right on that edge when a drunk Englishman drowned right about 2m in front of me; he said "blubb, blubb, help, blubb, blubb" and he was gone! I immediately swam to him, dived down briefly, grabbed his hair, swam to shore and pulled him out. He then regained consciousness relatively quickly (whatever that is when you're drunk), spat out some seawater, shook himself violently and staggered off!
I was standing there like a drowned poodle, I had just saved someone's life and he just ran away!
On can also recall a funny scene in kalithea a pissed fat German every day rolling in the surf. Kalithea at the time had an explosion of sea urchins they were rather a nuisance trying to enter the sea. Well one day the fat hun rolled many many times into the surf drunk of course covering his entire body in urchin spines didn't see him again after that day.
If he was an Englishman...... then the joke is on you.
@@stopato5772 is one's comment directed at myself.?
Being Swiss I can say that British People AND German People abroad are VERY similar!
That's a nice channel! I've seen your Volker Pispers video and I love Michael Mittermeier ... I do know he was in UK, but since this vid I havent's seen the stuff he was doing there. Breaking it down - he makes jokes, that would be "hard" to do in Germany ... at least nowadays. I love UK, your humor and will watch your channel - have been to Scotland for vacation - lovely!!! - and London and Midlands several times. Also business related trips. And yes, in holiday locations - Spain or anywhere - you think "well, this is a british location ... maybe we should avoid this?!" 😂 But at the end of the day - I love UK! 😍 First video (Volker Pispers) I just thought - You're from Scottland 🥰 When beeing in Scotland we were in different distilleries and I always took a video of the guides to catch the real speak ... so great memories! So I will really need to come back for vacation - even if there is some water between us ... I feel "home" when beeing in UK. Thanks for your videos! 🤗
I just love you Scottish accent! There has been a Highland Games tournament here this weekend (southern Germany) an I listened to it all the time.
I love Michael Mittermeier. He has been a comedian a long time and still does it today.
As a German myself I have to say I prefer the british comedy overall, because it is just my kind of humor, but he is really good as well.
Also, I do love brits/scots people - but yes on holiday you guys are verrry different. Especially if it is a large guy group.
The funny thing is, i know Michael since over 20 years and that was the best I've ever seen from him.
Greetings from Germany.
You asked how Germans experience Brits abroad. Very different. I have often experienced Welsh people in the relevant holiday resorts as unpleasant. The worst prejudices come from them and they let them out as soon as they're drunk. The English are like this and like that, but they're always drunk. The Scots and the Irish are the most agreeable: the drunker the funnier. And best of all: When I drink with Scots, I speak perfect Scottish after the 3rd beer at the latest!
🤣🤣 we think we do....
Very funny clip and great reaction, but I was waiting for Michael to start roasting the UK.
Great video! Your Scootish language accent is beautiful. lexellent ;-) so to say. Visited Scotland for 3 weeks in the days when the 1st oil drilling platform was taken out to the North Sea. One could see it from Castle hill in Edinborough. The idea what it was revealed itself in the evening news. The 1st thing Scots told me that I will never be able to speak Scottish because I cannot pronounce loch. Well, I said, I can, because my native language is German. Next on the Orkneys, they told me I would not understand their local dialect, which was Scandinavian. Well I could. Gud necht, tonecht (spelling?) was easy: good night, tonight.
I didn't know Mittermeier does shows in English. Thanks for introducing me to this funny program and your views on it as a foreigner.
A recommendation coming up! But first I thank you for quite a different topic of reaction (not the 100umptieth "Child In Time"). I found your postd today and cant wait for Volker's parts 4 and 5 :) But, as I said, I got a recommendation for you. A guy named Vince Ebert (former scientist turned comedian) one day sold all his stuff and house, took his wife, and went to NY to see compete in the standup-scene over there. After three years he returned, and him talking about this time is extra hilarious. He also puts in a lot of science into his program. "Make Science Great Again"
Thanks, @whoismertsalih, I'd never have seen this footage of Mittermeier without your reaction video!
It's consoling to hear that even somebody from the UK finds the scottish accent hard to understand.
He is from round my village, now I like you both, great show.-)
I love this guy. I am scottish and live in Germany. Near München where michael is from. He's funny in German too
Being a Bavarian I very much enjoy your appreciation for one of our finest comedians
Oh, please, the Scottish accent is beautiful! Love from Germany 🥰
i love the Irish accent
This is A-class amazing. I grew up in Munich - Michael is even in my extended circle of friends - well everybody growing up in Munich kinda is, Munich is small. Compared to New York, where I live now. Super Michi, sauguad!
Great you, great Michael!❤
I actually almost forgot about mittermeier, man that was a blast.
greetings from germany
I had a Scottish penpal who I got to visit in 95 when I was 14, first flight, first time alone and first time into an ‚English‘ speaking country to a family who didna speak any German….it was simply amazing. 💕🩷
I basically imprinted on a Scottish accent, and to this day I have to strain to not get annoyed by RP, because it reminds me of my English teachers at school, whereas a Scottish accent around Perth in particular just makes me so happy and comfy.
Michael Mittermeier did programs I found a lot funnier in German, but props to him for doing one in English…it still shows that there is a language barrier and the wit around undertones I find lacking in this set.
Scottish and German pronounciation are a lot closer than English and German, that‘s why we have a lot of Gaelic speakers in Germany, funnily enough,….
The way I feel about English RP is on point in his comedy here, so I appreciate that a lot 😝
I can recommend Vince Ebert. He has great humor too and is a studied physicist and makes some scientific jokes here and there. There are clips of him doing comedy in English as well.
Absolutely, a search for "German Humor meets American Mentality" will find you one of Vince Ebert
Hi I'm from Germany.
Michael Mittermeier is one the best german comedians. I love him 😂
I am positively surprised how well Michael Mittermeier can transfer his humor into English. He's also funny when he doesn't speak his native language and that's not German but Bavarian.
HAU AB !
When I remember correctly Michael Mittermeier studied americen studies and even wrote his Diplomarbeit about Standup Comedy. And he did shows in South Africa, USA and England etc.. So he is really skilled to do this in English and has quite a lot of experience abroad. I was to two of his programs, they where really great, would visit a show in a heartbeat again. Besides that, I never met some people from the UK or Scotland on holiday outside of the UK/Scotland/ Ireland. So I can't share something there. But I loved visiting England, Scotland and Ireland and I'm really fond of the people, the culture, the films etc.. I believe we have a lot of similarities. For example I'm from a region that traditionally has a lot of rain and was back in time called siberia of Germany, because there was a time, when the people where really poor here.
Another Comedian to check out is Otto. He had his own sketch show, played songs, made movies, painted and dubbed really famous characters in Disney/ Pixar movies. For example Mushu in Mulan and Sid in Ice Age.
You found the right gem, he's one of the greatest german comics
The funniest description of a "typically British" trait when it comes to holidays in southern countries I heard from a Scottish girl I met on a holiday in Greece.
She said: "When Brits arrive in the South their skin is not just pale, it's bluish. Then in the first week they turn white. In the second week they turn lobster red. But when they´re back home after the two weeks , they are considered as really brown."
So, from what I witnessed that`s not so far fetched .🤣
Ah, that is the solution to an experiance I made some years ago, waiting for our flight at Mallorca airport and watching the English travellers next to us. A hundered zombie like persons, very young, very hung over and all of them heavily sunburnt.
But there is also the slightly purple shade of red, which surprisingly can be seen again and again.
"Doing the toilette everywhere."
I'm gonna adopt that phrase. What a polite euphamism.
First of all I really like your accent.
Second this was the first time I watched MM in English. And it is probably even more funny. MM is definitely one of my favorite German comedians.
But I always liked the British humor. Started with Monty pythons. Miss them.
As a German I thought we had no sense of humor, until I saw how you react to it.
I once took a flight from Glasgow to Berlin and was the only one on the plane not travelling to Germany to see Celtic play. That was definitely an experience. The flight attendants looked like bouncers, they refused to serve more alcohol on the flight, I got proposed to twice and I had to completely reevaluate my English speaking skills because I only understood about 10% of drunk Glaswegian
In the eighties, I went on holiday in Portugal with friends. We visited a bullring, it was noon, it was hot, we were looking for shade … The English could be recognised by sitting without a T-shirt but with massive sunburn in the middle of the blazing sun.
A very good performance by Mittermeier. I saw the other Mittermeier video on your channel yesterday. He wasn't so confident then. Maybe the audience was in a better mood in this video
I didn't know he was doing shows in English. so kudos for doing this in his second language. He is one of the top comedians in Germany, and probably even more funny in his native language , as he's from Bavaria and has quite a accent in German.
Oh, really? And he has quite an accent in German? Who would have thought it. Guess what he has in English 😂
From his jokes about germans and polite and punktuality and guilt and and ...... I recognisze big similaritys with us swedish. Realy it have to be someting down in our common germanic history and some in the history that look some alike but in different times..... realy love this comedy and your reaction to it!
Michael Mittermeier is doing a live show about 100 meters away from my bedroom window (across a river) as I'm tying this. I can sometimes make out a few words and hear the audience laughing. I swear, I only realized this _after_ I randomly clicked on this video from the recommendations! And the only reason why I started paying closer attention to the venue in the first place wasn't even because of this video but because I suddenly heard R.E.M.'s Losing my Religion playing rather loudly (must've been an intermission or something). There's no real point to this story - I just thought it was kinda neat/weird.
You are an amazing looking guy!! I mean in a Scottish way!
Straight out of history!
Love your channel!
I work for an international IT company, and I have a lot of contact with UK people. I LOVE them, it is always a pleasure to have meetings with them. I also love the fact how we can make jokes on each other, laugh together and still have so much respect.
For me, I simply can not imagine how things could went so bad 80 years ago.
Well stay away from Austrians
He is a living legend in Germany ❤
I recommend the (retired) Georg Schramm for his virtuos use of the german language and his intellectual brilliance.
Schramm was a practicing psychologist before deciding on comedy and Kabarett. An extremely intelligent man.
Just can tell about working in a Duty free shop in Salzburg, Austria. In Winterseason we are nearly sold out by Brits and Scandinavics. One word "Jaegermeister"😂
The Jokes about traffic lights and the stadium he also puts in his program for gigs in Austria.
I enjoyed his humour a lot. I'm still wondering where in my part of the UK someone would politely tap on the window if I missed a red changing to green. More likely to be a fist thumping the window.
Fritz is a wonderful name and your Scottish accent is refreshing.
😀😀9:28 yes i make this experience last year with a daughter from a coworker. he´s not speaking with me right now
To add more on the post of @thebon13, there are many variations of comedy and political satire in Germany. Some Comedians are very much on the only-fun-level and others, like Mittermaier, are more political or at least into society topics. Now, about ten years ago unfortuntely Volker Pispers decided to resign from the stage of political satire although he is more needed now than ever.
PS: I needed some minutes to get into your scotch accent :-) But it's authentic😅😀, I like it.
Germans and Brits are very much more alike than they'd like to admit. I love both German and British comedy very much, and they've got much more in common than American and British comedy. We have/had a lot of sketch comedy shows too, the most legendary one being the Bullyparade in the 90s, that are very similiar.
Having lived in Germany for a few years, I agree: I think we’re much more alike than we are to the Americans, for example. Perhaps we’re not quite as much alike as, for example, Brits and Aussies or Kiwis, but it’s much closer in our cultural outlook than is the case with the USA (in spite of the fact our American cousins almost speak fluent English).
Would like to see, what you are thinking about Lisa Eckhart. She is very polarizing - and Austrian by the way.
Thank you man. Great reaction 😊😂✌
You’re doing something right, 3k subs and suggested in my feed when I’m subbed to a million people, good luck to you sir
Michael "Bully" Herbig is one of the best comedians, having also done great movies Unfortunately, there are no subtitles available in most of his bits. But this one is at least 75% in English: "Sissi - Ausländer" bullyparade - TV Comedyshow / 2002
'Vince Ebert 'at the fringe festival - and ,of course, 'Loriot '( with English subtitles,no worries) .Have some fun!
Mittermaier's comedy absolutely better in English than when he's reciting in his native German. Just a different angle in German, the English line of comedy, much better.
We have a lot of such good comedians in Germany. Johann König, Michael Mittermeier, Hans Werner Olm, Atze Schröder, Dieter Tappert, Olaf Schubert, Ingo Appelt, Mirja Boes, Ilka Bessin, and this is really just a small selection of them. However, I do not know if they all appear with the English language! But the ones I have described here are among the best in Germany.
I second your selection 100%, but we don't have "a lot" of them, unfortunately. Beyond the ones you list we have an ocean of unfunny-as-hell, politically-correct, GEZ-pampered wannabes.
First time I heard Johann König was really something. I hadn't laughed like that for years.
@@doobiousd5020 Yeah, it's really great.
It was only at London airport that I experienced the impossibility of buying a can or bottle of beer to take on the plane. Absolutely no chance. Self defense from the airlines?
He is very popular and I like him very much, because we have nearly the same dialekt between Munich and Vienna. But check out even Czech Humor, its like Britain Humor, but sometimes more brutal... if this seems possible...
Michael Mittermeier is the BEST 😊
I'm a German and the 2 Scotts in the elevator is one of my favorites..... Eleven 😂
In this video, Mittermeier behaves exactly as I know and like him. Here he shows the same cheeky and sympathetic humor as at home, he just has different topics.
8:13 LOL we don`t notice it, because we are in the same status ;)
Volker Pispers comes out of what‘s called „Kleinkunst“ (small arts, literally) which is a different tradition than Mittermayer here; the first being closer to traditional theater (hence the satire; it’s more high brow), the latter is „just“ a standup.
I truely remember the people from this one european northern island in Ibiza in the 80's. Oh my lord....
Michael Mittermeier ist mittlerweile Kult!!!
Self depreciation is always winner in comedy.
As a German i gotta admit, Michael Mittermeier is one of the best comedians we have. I live the english humor too tho like little britain or mr.bean will always be classics to me. One thing i never understand tho is why scottish is said to be that bad. Like i find it to be the easiest to understand
Maybe you can try Stefan Kröll. It's a local bavarian comedian. But also no subtitles. But he has very high knowledge about Germany, especially Bavaria.
On holidays you can always make out Brits from 100m away because of the worst sunburn ever 😂
watch Till Reiners and/or Moritz Neumeier :)
Greetings from Germany
Many years ago I was on holiday at the Domenican Republic. It was April, so we (Germans) and the Brits were white like milk under the carebian sun. Two days later one of the Brits had the worst sunburn I've ever seen in my live, raw flesh on his back, it must have been so painfully. Though, he sat IN the water IN the full sun at the poolbar and drank beer. Probably he is not alive anymore due to cancer. Such a tough guy, on the other side it was pretty disgusting because all the "fluids" out of his wounds were in the Poolwater. Germans and Brits at Mallorca are pretty much the same I guess.
I laughed quit alot 😊
German comedy ??? Never heard it before MM - Germany has always been known for having no comedy (I'm half Brit, half German). Loved your video - so funny, never laughed at any German comedy before. He's great !!!
Spot the British tourist on any sunny island in the Mediterranean: they're red like lobsters. Oblivious to the idea of sunscreen, drunk on arrival, they spend all day in the sun. They even glow in the dark.
I am german and i know Mittermeier since my childhood. I knew that i did a set in english but this is the first time i saw it and i think he is actualy better in english than in german. :D
As a Scot, being born in Germany and living there, this was braw to watch:)
As for political satire one of my favourites is Urban Priol. Also very good is Max Uthoff (part of "Die Anstalt"). One of my favourite comedians is Thorsten Sträter. I also like Wolfgang Trepper especially when he tears appart German Schlager.
Watching Volker Pispers makes me miss hanging out with Condor and smoking them tweeds. Bush era
We met a British couple in New Zealand and talked for 5h straight about everything, so we can not complain about brits as tourists.
That was an awesome experience.
In Austria he told the traffic light story with an Austrian.
