How your translation app managed to translate "Pfostierungen" but struggled with "Speck" is beyond me
I think it might be because Speck was in quotation marks, so the app might've intentionally ignored it
@@theKiwii I think it may have gotten confused by the fact that the word speck also exists in english but means something completely different.
The one where it translated "Yoghurt for the blanket" actually meant the ceiling. Decke means both ceiling and blanket.
Yeah, I had to think of the strange translation they did for "charge" in one game. For some reason they didn't understand that they weren't talking about an electric charge, but rather a cavalry charge ;)
Jogurt mit der Ecke...yogurt with the Corner are farely popular in Germany the Sauce or crunchies are separate,you combine them when you eat.
@@JaneSmith-rx6kx and to explain the post where there were some suspicious black shapes put over it, it's supposed to resemble a certain Austrian man, because the owner of the company that produces it constantly does _questionable_ things.
@@burningsheep4473 Best mistranslation I ever saw, was a programming guide, that had the headline “Trinkgeld” over some passages, took me a while to realize, that the translater really messed up, when translating “tip”.
6:32 The producer of "the Yoghurt with the corner" - Theo Müller - has said in an interview that he had dinner with Alice Weidel (a leading member of the far right party AfD) multiple times and that he's interested in her party's policies.
But he stated that he has never sponsored this party. Which is an important detail because his company was critizised for alledgedly sponsoring the openly racist party NPD in the early 2000s.
That's why this Yoghurt with the corner was turned into a stylised Hitler image by adding a simplyfied side-parting and the weird mustache.
Thanks! I was already wondering why nobody mentioned that Müller is known supporter of extrem right parties and I thought that is the main think about them.
Of cause I avoid buying Müller products (even sometimes it is hard like yogurt with little Ms 😊)
You did spell conservative wrong, didn't you?
@@12061988nope, the party has been ruled to be right-wing extremist by a court in at least one state. Also, they don't really try to hide it, unless directly accused.
But why now, that was like months ago...
"everyone who disagrees with me politically is far right" people be like:
5:35 As a German, I immediately noticed that there was a spelling mistake in the word “Geschirrspülmaschinen(e)gesinnungstabelle”.
There was a superfluous “e” before the word “gesinnung”. No wonder Ryan can't pronounce it correctly when it's all misspelled.
That meme was posted by the loser of the spelling bee
@@enoiladoe probably 😁
Und du hast ein l bei Spülmaschinen vergessen.
@@projectpitchfork860 Ich habe es korrigiert. Bei den eigenen Fehlern gibt es leider oft blinde Flecken in den eigenen Augen, so dass man sie nicht sieht. 😆
Danke für dein Engagement für gute Rechtschreibung. 👍
Ist mir aber auch direkt aufgefallen. Wusste erst gar nicht wie ich das Wort lesen soll mit dem zusätzlichen e. Dachte erst dahinter würde noch ein n fehlen und man hätte eine Art doppelten Plural. Je länger das Wort, desto störender sind die Tippfehler irgendwie.
You really need to speak German fluently to understand some of these, because many of them are playing with the pronunciation of the words… like "Der Joghurt mit der Ecke" (the yogurt with the corner) and "Der Joghurt für die Decke" (the yogurt for the ceiling)… btw the yoghurt with the corner has normally the bigger part filled with yogurt and the smaller one (the corner) filled with something crunchy, the concept is pretty nice actually
Or fruity, anyway sugary.
Also "Der Joghurt mit der Raucherecke" (the yoghurt with the smoker's corner) is so culturally specific to Europe and Germany that it's hard to convey the joke in English 😅
The concept is that the customer has to mix the ingredients in themselves so Müllermilch doesn't have to waste energy (and money) to mix them in. Add the marketing and they can sell a cheaper-to-make product for a higher price.
@@wbrenne I mean, I don't like them myself because of the waste, but I think it wouldn't be cheaper to mix them. The transport costs alone increase rapidly if you account for the bigger volume. It's rather to help the crunchy bit stay crunchy, and for the kid's entertainment.
@@wbrenne it's not cheaper to make. Anything Müller potentionally saves by not mixing it in they have to spend by making the cup a weird shape and filling the two parts of it from seperate production lines.
The concept is that your crunchy parts stay crunchy and don't get soggy before you can eat them. Only getting mixed in once you are actually about to do so and not weeks ago in the factory.
9:26 I haven't seen someone explain this one, so:
"Christ gleich aufs Maul" in German sounds like "Kriegst gleich aufs Maul" basically meaning
"I'm gonna punch you in the face"
So the joke is that it's pronounced like Christ, so it's Jesus punching someone
8:25 so to understand this you need to know who the man shopped onto the baby is: Till schweiger, a controversial german actor who is known for being drunk in public and needing "babysitters" to keep him in controll. The cheese says Tilsitter implying its a sitter for till, Frau schweiger is supposed to be his mum
Danke ich hatte das auch nicht kapiert xD
Thanks, the most memes are not understandable if you are not so much in social media.
But definitely this is self explaining, if you are not tired from lunch. 😂
(Although it is sad, a lot of men need their wives to be their substitute moms, especially elderly generations).
Also, the "Gut und günstig" is the brand name of that cheese. (Meaning "good and affordable")
😂
@@voyance4elleDas hat auch mich intellektuell völlig überfordert. 😢
8:52 The joke is actually that butter is too expensive for many people and they buy margerine instead.
A 500 g cup of storebrand margerine costs about 1,50 € whereas a 250 g block of butter of the same brand costs over 2 Euros.
Butter was also rationed during WW2 and the years after the war. So people had to use other fats as substitute. My granny still calls margarine "butter" and actual butter made from cow milk "good butter".
The butter price is predicted to Go Up to 4€ for 250 g by december... So about 4$ for two sticks of butter...
where did you get the 2€ butter, still got to do my shopping and would greatly appreceate this info
When I went to university (10+ years ago) and didn't have money for basically anything I didn't even buy margerine. I just ate bread only with cold cuts. 😅
@@kleinweichkleinweich I'm more interested in where they got the butter, period. For a couple of months now, all I can find is that "some butter with plenty of processed oil" stuff.
Admittedly, that's for salted butter...
@@kleinweichkleinweichhere in Austria, Interspar currently has a sale for butter for 4x 250g for 1.99 each. Not sure what prices are like in Germany, but usually yours are lower than in Austria. I usually wait for butter to be on sale (some "3 for the price of 2" offer or "take X to get a reduced price" scheme) and buy lots and freeze it. To de-thaw, take the frozen butter out of the freezer and put it into the fridge in the evening and in the morning it's perfect.
Non-sale price for good Austrian butter is currently somewhere between 2.50-3.50, depending on the brand, maybe lower at Lidl or Hofer.
Fun fact: We don't really have Spelling Bees competitions in Germany because the spelling are actually kind of logical. The competition would be pretty boring.
Except for some funny "Fremdwörter" but that's exactly why I never understood these contests in movies when I was little.
At least we don´t have public ones that are shown on TV. But some schools might do them to test their students.
when coff is spelled caugh you need that
hüst hüst
Okay, now that I thought about it a bit, we do have some sounds, that could be spelt differently.
ie / ieh; eu / äu; chs / x; das / dass (daß);
Not to mention that we also have differences in the meaning of "sie" (her) and "Sie" (one version of the formal you); "essen" (to eat) and "Essen" (food or a city in Germany) etc.
Then there's the "sp" and "st" where you pronounce the "s" like the English "sh", the two versions of our "ch" (ex. "Mädchen" and "machen").
And in place names, we have some inconsistencies with the "i" for example, in "Grevenbroich" it only elongates the pronunciation of the "o", but in "Duisburg" it changes the "u" into an "ü".
@@Matty0311MMS TThere something relatively unknown called the "Shavian alphabet". It's a writing system designed FOR english sounds. It is super interesting stuff.
You seem to still have that misconception about long german words and that they are always "previoussly established". That's not the case, you can make them up. It's like the word Screwdriver, a driver for screws. when you want to be more specific you can call it a Phillipsheadscrewdriver. In cases where phillipsheadscrewdrivers need to be specified even further the word can simply grow. You add the new specificity at the beginning.
Yes, for example everyone would understand the concept of a Olivenentkernungsmaschienendeckel, even though I'm fairly certain the word didn't exist before (It's also quite useless meaning "the lid of an olive-seed-remover)
He will never get this

@@Christof_SmaulXL Falsch; das müssen zwei Wörter sein: "unterbrechungsfreie Worteaneinanderreihungslogik".
4:30 Cheaper than before, when there was no deutschland ticket aka 9 euro ticket aka 49 euro ticket. So before 2022 for example, you paid over 250 euros for a Monats-Ticket, with which you couldn't even drive through the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia
6:16 the Geschirrspülmaschinengesinnungstabelle was lowkey the funniest one, shame you had to skip that lmaoo
It is an Alignment table for the dishwasher and refers to the role playing game "dungeons and dragons".
@@LudwigRohf nah its the good-neutral-evil & lawful-neutral-chaotic matrix
@@EMAHGERD which is from D&D
@@thomasfranz6467 thats crazy, learned something new today!
Anyone here seeing the gender critical views (which I love!) behind that meme or is it just me?
8:30 Tilsiter is a semi-hard cheese. The person below is Til Schweiger. Tilsitter is a play on words between babysitter, Til (Schweiger) and Tilsiter.
gut & günstig (good & cheap) is also a brand
@schnelma605
Yep, but I would translate "günstig" with "affordable" because the word "cheap" (for me) has a slightly negative connotation like "billig" in German.
@@Matty0311MMS Stimmt zwar, aber wir wissen alles dass es auch "billig" ist xD
@the yoghurt at 3:50 : It is called "The Yoghurt with the corner" because you can just fold over the smaller chamber so that it falls into the bigger one. It is so the ingredients dont get soggy in the yoghurt and stuff
aber warum sprechen auf einmal alle darüber? Gab es einen Auslöser? :D
@@voyance4elle Yes, the owner of the company, Theo Müller supposedly met up with Alice Weidel and expressed interest in her politics. (He also supported the NPD a few years back)
@@Judys-Stuff But wasn't that like in the beginning of the year or even last year? At least several months ago... Why is the topic suddenly trending again?
@@silkwesir1444 I honestly have no ides why NOW. Maybe someone made a successfull meme aboit it and other people imitated it?
@@voyance4elle they talk about it because it is a meme in itself, the yoghurt with corners has no corners.
2:51 is a reverence between the Traffic-Safety-Education Police Officers we all met during elementary school lessons and Police officers as we see them as adults nowadays.
3:24 is a reference to "The Yogurt with the corner" from a well-known brand. Usually the big one contained the Yogurt, the smaller on a topping/ etc. Later on they included everything with "corner", like "smoking corner" (the place all the smoking kids went during break).
5:50 would be considered a real Word. Geschirrspülmaschieneneignungstabelle (Dishwasher suitability table) would be correct.
6:58 is a nice play with words. Ecke/Decke - Corner/Ceiling.7:24 is Angela Merkel when she was younger.
8:23 I assume her child is named Till, so she hired a Tilsitter (a german type of chesse).
9:30 "Christ gleich aufs Maul" sounds like "Kriegst gleich aufs Maul" (in certain German dialect). And that means "You're about to get sucker punched".
first one is about oktoberfest in bavaria, bavarian traditional clothing looks "funny" to people outside bavaria and they talk weird, the beer and food prices at oktoberfest are famous for being extremely high
01:05 Explanation: Border traffic in the Schengen area is currently disrupted because Germany has reintroduced border controls. This also affects the border with France. The possible longer stay at the border is the content of the warning.
It's always fun to watch Ryan get completely confused by something as simple as yoghurt.. ;-)
6:50 Decke can be translated to blanket yes, but we use the same word for ceiling aswell, since this was a bucket of paint it was reffering to the ceiling
And the joke is, that it rhymes with "Ecke"
And there was probably also a meme about the "Joghurt in der Hecke".
We don't have such super-long words in our language, but we can create them anytime we want!
A true superpower!
7:07 Thats CDU chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz as a Child. He’s part of the traditional right CDU and loves to spread hate against workless people or immigrants and being closely associated to Blackrock.
His character seems very questionable, making him the perfect allegory to the cruel and rich mr Burns.
Totally right. He even seem to hate all por and normal people. MERZ is the GERMAN TRUMP.
you mean he is not him?
He is part of the CDU that still remained in the party instead of leaving when Merkel tried to transform the 'conservative' CDU into a left-green party with a few conservative fig leaves.
A lot of those who left back then formed the AfD, before THAT party got infested with Neonazis. The AfD was originally created as a party that wanted to reverse the introduction of the Euro, since local currencies would allow a country to reevaluate their own currency against a stronger economy, so that domestic products would still be affordable to their own population, while imported goods, especially common stuff like food and the likes, would be pricier.
This would allow, say, Italy, to make good money on olive oil sold to Germany (which would have no problem buying at a higher price), but say, greenhouse tomatos from the Netherlands in Italy? Less likely.
The original founder of the AfD was pushed out by the first wave of 'a bit unconfortably right wing' party members who took over, who in turn got ousted by the even further right wing alleged 'leadership' who had internal conflicts with a WAY outside to the right side 'Höcke' wing of the party. And all in all, effectively, Höcke is running the show.
No one in their sane mind would want the AfD to actually rule - but the problem is, the current laws regarding migration are not enforced AT ALL. And no one, not even many AfD voters, actually want the AfD to have any power. But the AfD does one thing, and they do this very well. They basically hunt the 'established' parties who, in their fear for their fat paychecks and pensions sitting in office, try to pretend to 'do something'.
Do we need a Merz? Hell no. We also do not need a Porsche cuddling Lindner either.
But as we have seen, any governmental influence by 'The Green' is politics for mostly the rich. Transform society into an electric one, fine. We have no damn powerlines able to support those fever dreams ANYWHERE, Bavaria doesn't want to generate any renewables, and also is throwing a fit when you want to build powerlines so they can get coastal wind power. We have no residental production for solar panels or wind turbines, and the production of cables, steel and cement (for concrete), which we DO need for wind turbines and so on, is declared to be the devil's work - so we import stuff from China. Electric Vehicles either have atrocious range, are high priced, or are even MORE goddamn SUVs.
No matter if electric or combustion, an SUV should be taxed like a cargo vehicle.
@@LordNecron you fail to regard that both the technology for more environmentally friendly generators (like solar panels) and the only affordable competitive electric vehicles are kept of the market due to sanctions on China. They dominate the renewable energy market. And we were the ones demanding they go green. I’m shocked the greens rather participated in American led anti China politics than allowing these cheap electric cars on our market… So no, it’s not actually impossible
@@LordNecron I agree with your last sentence.
1:52 lol thats my meme haha, nice to see it in a video!
Mines at 7:48 lol
15:22 Oh boy, you are in the supermarket, standing in row to pay, and the next cashier opens their cashier service, and all storm to there....
I usually stay in my lane. I mean I've been shopping for about an hour before that. Whats a minute more or less gonna change. And sometimes they open the new lane but the cashier has not arrived yet, so the old lane is actually faster.
@@tubeTreasurer Nah, here in germany the cashier opens up. So he puts his cash box in, light on, then opens the barrier. So everyone knows it. For me its simple, i have a watch to the customers and the belt. When the customers are 3 or less, with many big items, it will go fast. If there are more than 3 or many small items, it will take time. It's that simple.
But when i arrive and stay in front of the new opened cashier lane, i fight for my position.
Yeah, trolley problem? We just laugh about that, our moral conundrum is the cashier lines. Two virtues clash and people disagree about which is the one that takes precedent. Funnily enough, it seems the majority even chooses the meaner option. Like, people seem to think it's okay to overtake in that situation, except of course those that think it's wrong, but what are they supposed to do against it...?
Before the 9-euro ticket, traveling across Germany's public transportation system was more complex and expensive. You needed different tickets depending on the mode of transport (trains, subways, buses) and the zones or regions you were traveling through. There wasn’t a single ticket that allowed you to travel across the whole country or between different networks, so people often had to buy multiple tickets for different parts of their journey.
You can generally get a ticket into neighbouring zones, but it will get expensive fast - like 250 € for a monthly ticket for a 30 minute trip to the next muncipality (Kreis) over - and it gets even more expensive if that muncipality is part of a different provider network. So in some way, the 58 € Ticket is still cheap, but combined with the atrocious service and unreliability coming with regional public transport, it cannot compete with dragging your personal two tons of freedom through the world...
There was a ticket, but it was atrocious, had to be booked WAY ahead, was only valid for ONE specific connection, and only on weekends - oh, and only valid in the same trains as the 9/49/58 euro ticket.
I visited friends about 13 years ago or so, down in Frankonia. Took me 8 hours by train, one way, the ticket did cost 78 Euro per journey.
A ticket between my home and a village where my employer was, a monthly ticket to boot, was 120 Euro. The distance was about 30 km.
and it had costed very very much, a travel with atrain today of 300 km or more 58 euros, before the ticket over 200 euros, and if you want too travel with an ICE it costs even more.
a side note : you are not allowed too travel in an ICE with the ticket, but there is an exeption if the ICE is the only train that goes that way and no other train is, but you must ask the personal of it first if they allow it before entering the ICE with it, mostly they will accept but not allways, so never get your hopes up in the first place.
3:40 that product is called "der joghurt mit der ecke" "the joghurt with the edge" cause its in these triangular chambers, usually its jogurt in one and crunchy bits in the other.
You can buy them in the UK. They are called Müller Corner there.
*corner, not edge 🤓
@@LeksDee yeah youre right corner makes more sense here
@MufuLP
Yep, because "edge" means "Kante".
(Dieser Joghurt macht dich bestimmt nicht zur "Kante". ;-P)
edge is mot Ecke, it’s corner
15:30 often shops have like 6 cash registers, but only 1 or 2 open, with huge lines. Then they open one more. And everybody rushes to the newly open cash register to be first in line.
10:30 WG = Wohngemeinschaft = shared living

Can i just as a Brit that speaks a lot of languages, one of them being German, that Who babysits your kid Miss. Schwieger ?
Tilsitter joke killed me... Dumb as hell but loved it. 😅😅😅
Schweiger*🙈
the first meme refers to the Oktoberfest. :D The thing with the 49€ ticket is, that you can travel all across Germany via public transport and most of the regional tickets, that just range from city to city or inside a city were/are more expensive. The photo you tried reverse searching was from the movie 'Lola rennt' a German movie that was worldwide popular. Tilsitter, is a sort of cheese and we make much fun about our most famous actor Til Schweiger, so the joke here is Til sitter as in babysitter. The thing with the yogurt is this: we got one that's called "Joghurt mit der Ecke" = yogurt with the corner and inside the smaller corner are different types of things like cereals, choclate chips and other stuff. People began to create their own iteration of this yogurt, by photoshopping, cars, screws, hair etc. in so it became a widespread meme over here. After some time people began to realize that the corners are rounded now, which weren't back in the releasetime of that yogurt. So it's been an advertising trick
Where was the Lola Rennt image? Pretty sure the young person next to Friedrich Merz is also Friedrich Merz, in his youth.
Yes, they were evel persons in 'young' and 'now'.
7:00 The young man is also Friedrich Merz
I had to look at least twice to see it. At first I thought that was Angela Merkel.
Thats a young Angela Merkel tho, thats the second layer of the joke.
@@Matty0311MMS Yeah, me too...
@@vsmash2 No, it's not. Both pictures are Friedrich Merz, just as both upper pictures are Charles Burns. The joke is that child Merz looked like child Burns, and old Merz looks like old Burns.
@scelestion
For some reason, it looks weird seeing Mister Burns' first name there. Although I know he is named Charles Montgomery Burns, he'll always be Mr. Burns to me.
Ryan doesn't read comments :)
08:23 Explanation: This child has the face of Til Schweiger (a famous actor) - the name of that cheese is "Tilsitter" (Actually Tilsiter) - so: "Til" - "Sitter"... (Sitting a child)
Actually our spelling bees are easy. Our language has rules for spelling words according to their phonemes most of the time
9:26 the joke is that "Christ gleichs aufs maul" sounds like "Kriegst gleichs aufs maul" (if you say it with northern accent) which loosly translates to "gonna punch you in the mouth". also this joke is as old as time in germany
Also works with a swabian dialect
About 10:40
"Auf Krank machen" is colloquial and means to pretent to be sick.
But "krank machen" without the "auf" just means you called in sick, it could mean both you are really sick or you're just pretending... like usually the context makes the difference or sometimes the way it is said, like in a more mocking tone when it's meant as they're just pretending.
I think the point of the meme is someone who wants to make a point that "krank machen" should only be used if you're pretending, and not when you're actually sick...
Other interpretation might be, people tend to go to work when they are actually sick (against all better advice), but on the other hand, when they call in sick, they're simulating. Like, calling attention to how paradoxical that is.
@@silkwesir1444 ich denke es geht darum, dass manche Leute sich selbst davon überzeugen müssen, dass es kein Arbeitszeitbetrug ist krank zu machen wenn man wirklich krank ist.
afaik, there are no spelling bees in germany, or at least i've never heard of one (it would be called "Buchstabierwettbewerb" btw., spelling competition).
german pronunciation is very close to the spelling (exceptions apply ofc), just like with many other languages. english is the odd-one-out here.
even french is super consistent, you just have to know how to pronounce each letter and their most common combinations. (just like german, you should look more into pronunciation).
8:30 The "baby" is _Till_ Schwieger (German actor) and the cheese is Tilsiter. (Till+babysitter)
6:01 "you have a word for that?" .... NOW WE HAVE!
"you even have a word for that?"
we have now
8:46 Marco Buschmann is not only a member of the Bundestag, but also the Federal Minister of Justice
About the "Deutschland Ticket" / 49€ Ticket:
Before they invented that, people paid the normal prices. My monthly ticket was around 103€/month. That was nearly 1/4 of the money I had for the whole month back then. So paying 9€ for a few months was such an amazing relief for my finances. I can't work due to health issues, so it's not as if I can just find a better job or work more to get more money. I have to make do with the money that I get. (which is much easier with the 49€ Ticket). As an apprentice you don't get full wages yet and as a student it's already hard to find enough time to work on the side to finance your life. So it's really hard on these people as well. Or any one with a low income.
The 9€ Ticket was only meant for a short time, but it was a success and the people wanted it even after the 3 (?) months were over. They stated that they can't finance the 9€ ticket, but that 49€ were a feasable succesor.
Some people fear it well get pricier over time, until most can't afford it anymore (as far as I heard)
And those 103 Euros were for the local area only, not even for the whole country...
@@HenryLoenwind Yeah, that's correct. If I wanted to get somewhere else, I had to pay for an additional ticket. Or rather anyone else had to do so. I believe there wasn't any tickerts for whole germany before?
@@SakuraKuromi No, there wasn't. Closest thing was the Bahncard 100, which would be for all trains operated by Deutsche Bahn (and costs in the 4 digits).
the "til"sitter joke is actually on point, great job ryan as always
Hey watching your stuff for a while now. You always seem to wonder that we germans have words for everything.
Here is why:
In the german lenguage it is totally normal to create a word by attatching different existing words together in a way that makes grammatically sense. It's part of our culture to make "Neologisms", as they are called. If there ain't a word for a thing - describe what it is in a new word. We are even encouraged by school curiculum to learn about that.
Almost correct, but you only speak of a Neologism if it's a completely new creation of one singular word, elsewise, if you take the words that already exists in the language and just link those together you talk of a so called compound word.
German is one of the very few languages where it's possible to link them together indefinetly though indeed.
Ich liebe diese Witzerklärkommentare hier. ;-)
@@Justforvisit
I once made an own neologism that is "nasetaub", for when you cannot smell. :x
the concept is completely unknown in english ... who would call a board with keys a keyboard, while there is a perfect word of its own "Tastatur" for it ? :-)
@@Anson_AKB
But what doors can these "keys" open?
10:52 You can translate that as "You don't call in sick and pretend to be sick when you're really sick" - Some people have a guilty conscience when they call in sick and leave work in the lurch, unfortunately I'm one of them (and it's the company's own fault if they don't hire enough staff or if they make a mess of things due to poor management and ineffectiveness, or if they don't fire Susanne after 20 years just because she can't use a computer but always has a big mouth and thinks she can get away with anything like just drinking coffee and being on the phone all shift instead of working) 💀😂
8:08 Her man is actor. His name is Til Schweiger. If you need someone, who take care of your baby, you need a babysitter. And she has a Til Sitter, to take care of him. Tilsitter is a sort of cheese.
11:53 This is a world map of so-called light pollution. This describes where significant artificial light sources are used at night, which means that sensitive observations of the sky from the earth cannot be made and animals such as insects can also be affected.
The yoghurt 3:25 is called "Yoghurt mit der Ecke" ,(=Yoghurt With The Corner), as the smaller compartment in the upper corner usually contains some extra stuff to put into the yoghurt, chocolate flakes for example. Joke here is, that there is not a single corner on the packaging.
EDIT: replaced all edges with corners, as other suggested. Sometimes translation errors happen, just like later in this video. with mixing up blanket and ceiling ^^
Not edge, corner. There's plenty of edges, but no "real" corners
@@HolyDude02if there is an edge, there is a corner, exept you have something two dimensional in a three dimensional world.
A corner hat a point at which two straight lines meet at an angle. That is nowhere the case for this yogurt container.
German authorities: A few days ago I received a registered letter from the tax office stating that I had not filed a tax return since 2019. I called and asked if I could simply waive all my refund claims with an affidavit. The lady said that I didn't have to do anything.
When I told a friend about this, he said, "It's nice when the final opponent takes care of himself."
The thing with the "still cheaper than before" is referring to prices before the 9 euro ticket. I don't really know how much a monthly train ticket was, but i know for 1 day you paid like 29 Euros. Basically the 9 Euro Ticket and its successors are funded by the government, and they're deciding to reduce the amount they pay for our tickets
The train I use now used to be over 106€ a month and another ÖPNV I used before the ticket were 63€ a month for just inside a city... So yes every monthly ticket I used in the past 10 years was over 58€ I believe ...
Der Joghurt mit der Ecke hat mal die ganze Folge zerstört xD
the commercial slogan for Müller-yoghurt is literally , "the yoghurt with the corner", the meme is, it actually has no corners since everything is rounded.
The add for the yogurt has a catchy tune consisting of „Der Joghurt mit der Ecke. Der Ecke mit was drin!“ translating to „The yogurt has an edge, an edge containing stuff“. Yet there is no edge. What a fraud!
… that tune lives rent free in my head since the early 90ies unfortunately
which also explains the painting thing - „Decke“ (ceiling) rhymes on „Ecke“
You people here - edge does not mean Ecke in German, it means Kante. Ecke is a corner.
But I also dont get this meme. The "Joghurt mit der Ecke" has been selling for 20 years or so - so whats special to it now?
@@petebeatministerExactly. In the UK it’s sold as “Müller Corner”.
@petebeatminister
Danke, ich bin nicht alleine hier.
@@petebeatminister Yeah, realized that at the end when he figured it out himself😂. I even mix „Kante“ und „Ecke“ in german as well, some neurons seem to be forever misconnected there! But hey, I can do „das“ and „dass“ as well es „your“ and „you‘re“, so that’s that 😂
0:40 Yes, this is a thing in Germany, you might already have heard of. It's called the Oktoberfest.
At the Oktoberfest the prices are ridiculously inflated and yet it's filled to the brim with guests each year anyway.
8:40 It's not about who Marco Buschmann is, but the shape of his head and how Jack Black is soon to star in the Minecraft movie.
15:40 Imagine you are queued up in a supermarket, where only some of the cash-lines are open and then one of the closed ones gets opened. Some people are... very enthusiastic about getting over to the newly opened cash-line.
5:59 Fun fact: There are no spelling bee competitions in Germany or many other Non-Anglo Countries, because there is no language like English where words have so often exception between the way they are written and they way they should actually pronounced or used in a sentence. (Wednesday == Whensday). The art of the spelling bee is to have an encyclopedic database about these exceptions in your head.
15€ beer is about the octoberfest.
the warning that the route goes through another country, is because other countrys mean other street-laws and possible highway-taxes. is just for savety.
the johgurt is called "johgurt with the corner". in the bigger segment is a special kind of johgurt and in the other you get the topping, like jam or shokoballs.
Der Joghurt mit der Ecke - The yoghurt with the corner - Actually there’s no corner because it’s rounded.
0:50 Approximately 15€ is the price for a beer (1 Liter) at the Oktoberfest in München (which is taking place now).
It was probably a comment on the fact that people accept high beer prices at the Oktoberfest that would probably not tolerated in most other places.
The first meme is about expensive drinks at Oktoberfest, wich is a popular beer festival in Munich. It started one week ago.
As someone who works at a court in Germany I have to say here that the Sloth/Flash meme is also applicable to the citizens if you swap the pictures. If they have to send something in for basically anything that is not a direct benefit for them it can take weeks until everything is there in the correct form and without any mistakes, but if in other cases they are waiting for money that they are entitled to (and which they should definitely get, as they are in the right, no one would deny that) they will call three times a day and send angry E-Mails if we have just a bit of a delay, but guess what, shortage of skilled workers hits bureaucracy too, the number of applicants seems to decrease every year
the meme where they burn money is true tho
The raven said "it still is cheaper then back in my age!" like an old person.
8:25 omg I‘ve never seen this joke before
Tilsitter I‘m crying 😂😂😂
The first meme means Oktoberfest
The first Meme is related to an event called 'Oktoberfest'... there they wear funny hats, speak funny, are drunk all over the place and a beer costs 15 Euro
8:52 The alternative to butter is the cheaper margarine.
Margarine is an emulsion of vegetable and/or animal fats and water or skimmed milk with a fat content of between 39% and 90%. Acidifiers such as lactic acid, citric acid, sour whey or yoghurt cultures are added for flavoring.
Butter simply tastes better, especially when frying.
8:30 the kid is the actor Til Schweiger. It's a pun, because the cheese is called "Tilsitter".
you still dont get the whole "german uses compound words" point xD
apple tree
appletree omg its one word
a board with keys ... keyboard : omg it's one word
we don't make butter, we can't afford it.. :D We buy margarine ;)
Someone send Ryan some Joghurt mit der Ecke to the US
14:39 yayyyy you figured it out!! :D
15:25 When in a supermarket the line at a cash register is too long, they may open another one. As soon as that happens, people run to it to be the first there.
3:50 This is called "Müller - Joghurt mit der Ecke / Joghurt with the corner" In that small part usually is something different. For example rice puffs, or choco chips or whatever. You flip the small one towards the big one, and the stuff falls into the joghurt. They are good, but too expensive for what you will get.
8:33
Now, THAT's a Steve-face, if any is. Blocky as hell xD
"Yoghurt with the corner" memes are hilarious
6:59 In Germany, it is called "Der Yoghurt mit der Ecke (die Ecke mit was drin)", it was a advertising song. And because the wallpaint looking like yoghurt and "Decke" does rhymes with "Ecke", they did that meme "Der Yoghurt für die Decke", in this case, "Decke" means "Ceiling". It is a wordplay in Germany.
8:29 "Tilsitter"; another German wordplay. And a good one. "Tilsitter" is a cheese like gouda, emmentaler, mozzarella. In this case, "sitter" means to "watch someone", specifically a young child (like a BabySITTER). And "Til" is the first Name of "Til Schweiger", who is famous in Germany for his Romantic Comedy Movies or Comedy in general. So "Til" and the "Sitter" of "babysitter" makes "Tilsitter".
15:21 Lets pretend for a second that your mind is as pervy as the ones from Single males... and ask yourself: What NSFW things did you do behind closed doors? For you, because i think you are around my age of 31, less PC, more magazines, the special ones
🤣
15:35 there is oftentimes a long line behind a single Cash register/Cashcheckout and if the cashier sees that, they often ask for another cashcheckout/cash register and the moment they walk to the specific point and people see, which register opens, they are literally halfway running to that register to be the first 😂
08:25 The one with the "Tilsitter" Cheese was also quality 10/10 xD Fr. Schweiger is the Mother of a "famous" Actor "Til Schweiger" of whom the face was photoshopped onto the face of a child. so instead of a babysitter - its a tilsitter, cause the babysitter babysitts til schweiger xD
Dude... 8:11 XD. The manufacturer of the cheese is "gut & günstig" (good & cheap). And the product is "tilsitter" which is a wordplay on the actor Til Schweiger (sitting there as a baby) and sitter as in "babysitter". Cmon... dont just skip it, that one was truly good :D :D :D.
8:58 he only buys margarine because it is cheaper. Post war it was very popular because almost nobody could afford butter and still is more popular than in the US I think because price and it is supposedly more healthy
0:35 Oktoberfest meme - the Maß (lit. measure (of beer) = 1 liter) costs this year between 14.10 and 15.10 Euro depending on brewery and marquee tent. This weekend starts also the Cannstatt Volksfest (aka "Wasen") in Stuttgart, where the prices vary between 13.30 and 14.70 Euro. If you would buy your "Fest-Bier" (a special brew for the fairs in autumn, using the "Märzen" brew recipe) in a shop, you would pay usually less than 3 Euro per liter.
3:50 This product is sold as "the yoghurt with the corner": The small partition is supposed to hold some crunchy stuff, which you could mix into the yoghurt by flipping up the corner part.
4:30 The 9 Euro ticket was a short-lived action price to compensate for Covid restrictions and the additional costs caused by them. Since it was such a success, they planned a sequel, which became the "Deutschland Ticket" a 49 Euro monthly subscription. But since the Federal Government limited its contribution to it, it became to expensive for the states and the public traffic companies funding the other part. So they'll rise the price to 58 Euro per month. Some states however offer a special ticket for pupils, apprentices and students (e.g. a yearly subscription for 365 Euro/year or a cheaper monthly ticket valid only within the state).
5:50 There is actually a letter to much in that word, so it is not a real word.😅 And if it would be a real word, it would still not make much sense as a word.
6:58 not "for the blanket" - "Decke" translates to (room) ceiling in this context. Generally a "Decke" is something to cover (= "decken", "bedecken") something - the ceiling covers the room, the blanket is used to cover you, the table cloth ("Tischdecke") is used to cover a table.
#1: OKTOBERFEST!
and the yoghurt at 6:38 is called "Adolf"
The choco dessert are actually all from the same brand only with different names because there are sale in different shops
No idea what is up with the yoghurt and I am German, so don't beat yourself up about it! This was fun to watch, none the less. Keep up the good work!
3:45 it is Müllers ad slogan 'der yogurt with the corners'
3:50 its called "Joghurt mit der Ecke" (yogurt with the corner) thats why the corners...
6:57 Blanket and ceiling are a Teekesselchen (homonym) in German, that's why you thought it was the yoghurt for the blanket instead of ceiling. This is our typical brand of color for interior walls, like for your home or whatever. But why all that? It is a pun bc Decke rhymes with Ecke, meaning corner (Straßenecke) or edge (eckige Verpackung). The upshot is that people criticize that "Joghurt mit der Ecke" is a lie as all the edges on the packaging are rounded. There are no Ecken on that product, hence all the "Wo sind die Ecken?" and so forth.
15€ beer is one liter.
7:00 This is the next Chancellor Merz. The current Chancellor looks like Mr. Magoo.
Both were "flash".
3:50 It's called "Joghurt mit der Ecke" (Yoghurt with a corner) ... The yoghurt is in the bigger part and the toppings are in the smaller "corner."
First meme: 1 liter beer costs 15€ at the Oktoberfest.
In Germany you can put words together when they’re nouns and fit together 6:02
Haha thank you Ryan this is very pleasant to watch ❤
Ryan once again forsaken by the translators (especially when they translate line by line separately instead of the full sentence)
8:28 its from the company Gut & günstig
The price hike for the 49 Euro/Deutschlandticket is due to some municipalities and regions not having 2 or 3 transport providers and associations, but often having multiple transport providers that operate in the exact same area, sometimes even on the same general route (not numerically the same line, one could be a 'fast bus' that only stops at major halt points, one would be a line that stops on every single halt and sometimes does a small extra loop through a side bit of a town or village that is normally not serviced by the fast bus).
Thus, you have doubled and triples management and administrative cost, for the same service.
Then, you also have regions who try to be more 'enlightened and social minded' by providing a discount on the ticket for certain population groups, but with the ticket being valid in the same way as the 49 Euro one. Berlin is especially guilty of that, the city (well, city-state), our very own capital, is debtmongering like crazy, and they try to be the little leftwing socialist paradise of the multiverse.
0:14 It's about the Octoberfest. Bears are terribly expensive there, but people keep going there and paying those ludicrous prices. The funny hat and way of talking refer to bavarian traditional garbs including hats, lederhosen (men), dirndl (women) and more. So basically if you are given bear by an authentic bavarian, you are ready to pay extreme prices.
9:25 "Auf's Maul kriegen", lit. to get something on your maw, is a german version of english's eating hands, whooping ass, giving a knuckle sandwich etc
Kriegst/Christ gleich was aufs Maul. It's a pun.
14:27 Cocktail => Cock also means something different in english 😏
Tail in german is Schwanz, which means the same "something different".
So it's basically CockCock or Schwanzschwanz
15€ - Beer is on Oktoberfest in Munich. Noone would pay so much for a liter beer. But there they do. And many people there wear a special outfit.
Decke = blanket, but also ... don´t know the word in english. A room has a floor, 4 walls and ... a "Decke"... top of the room.
7:23 - Both the same, both Friedrich Merz, candidat for cancelour from CDU/CSU.
8:32 It´s an famous actor in germany: Til Schweiger. And the cheese normally is "Tilsiter" (with only one "t"). Think it explains it.
9:24 Margarine is cheaper.
14:28 Tail-tail... is it really meant? In germany "Schwanz" is tail but also a synonym for penis.
Everytime again "You have a word for THAT?!", unable to comprehend the principle of compound words.
15:30 It means like in a Aldi wenn a cashregister line opens and the yoguhrt normaly there are little sweet bals in the corner
6:10 no i don't think we have a official word like that. but the great thing about languages like German or Finnish is that we can create our own valid words to describe things no problem. As long as we follow the Grammatical rules.
Two Finnish bonus words that are my Finnish friends favorite ones:
First Word: "Epäjärjestelmmällisyydelläänsäkäänköhän" = a word no one actually uses it is just a string of different possible conjugations and such on the word "disorder".
Second Word: "Lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas" = Airplane jet engine assistant mechanic Non commisioned officer student. It was an official military term for a few years then was changed
