Yes, I know. She really suits it! I was speaking to a north German girl a couple of years ago who had a similar outfit, but which is called something else. I was surprised they had that kind of thing up there.
grows an operator beard Chews bubblegum wears a military style cap with the US flag on it (although never served) wears a T-shirt that reads "these colors dont run" (add to that line, "or do push ups or sit ups...") Overly confident and acts like every women wants to fick him. Trump voter who thinks anyone who is not white is a terrorist.
There is no typical American because the U. S. Is a multi ethnic country. You would have to stereotype all Europeans all Asians Latinos and of course native American Indians and just about everything else. Then figure out a way to wrap all that up into one human. That would actually look really funny now that I think about. But that is exactly what most Americans are. A mix of culture. But you know the thing is it always makes me laugh how people in Other countries will say an American is fat lazy or stupid but yet more than 78 of Americans either come from another country or have ancestors that came from another country so basically people that are from other countries that rank on Americans or actually ranking on their own people. This always cracks me up
I went to a German cafe(?) in Sydney and the waitresses were wearing exactly the same clothes as you and serving sausages and sauerkraut with Massive glasses of beer lol.
We'll lets see. I'm fairly typical and I would describe myself as gay accepting, atheist, apologetic, slightly pc, Trudeau liberal liking and pro-choice. So you're not too far off.
PJPJPJ1225 -isn't that stereotype a major component of a Canadian stand-off?... ...(that's two Canadians standing at a doorway, politely offering to let each other to go first: "you first"🇨🇦... ...no, you go ahead🇨🇦🇨🇦... ...no, no, that's alright, you can go first🇨🇦... ...Oh, no, you can go ahead of me🇨🇦🇨🇦)...
Scottish Stereotype: We all eat haggis, wear kilts and have the thickest accent you'll hear in your life. Reality: Haggis is gross, kilts are expensive and only the northerners have really thick accents.
Forgot the stereotypes that we're all tightfisted and mean with our money and all have ginger hair! :) Though as a Fifer would disagree that it's only the north that has thick accents. Ours (in the former miner areas) can be quite thick and I can understand Doric from the North East of Scotland - it's Dundonian that I really struggle with. As a German learner I find Boarisch easier to understand when I'm in München and Ober-Bayern than the natives when I head to Dundee! ;)
I was in Scotland a year ago and the ppl were just normal xD and they were nice but no offence I would never eat haggis urgh my dad did... But well the stuff that's in it is ... not my taste let's say that. Also we had Scottish exchange partners last year in school and I don't think they had such a big accent like some ppl say.
I'm from Colombia, so apparently we all sell cocaine, grow coffee, wear hats and ponchos like Juan Valdez, have "paisa" accent and so on... I wonder how an ultimate colombian would look like! I love your videos, I send you a big hug♥

There are wonderful castles all over Germany not only in fucking Bavaria. Take for example Thüringen, you will find literally a castle on every mountain there. There are even castles in Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, and Schleswig-Holstein. So, your castle argument is in fact not true.

Hi Trixi - I'm going to Germany in June and I started watching your videos to help with the language. Now watch the because they are entertaining and funny too! You are awesome. :)
Actually, brown hair is stereotypical for german women. As far as i know the majority has brown hair. The blonde and blue eyes stereotype is made up by Hitler and not true. Blonde and Blue eyes would suit people living further north more, like sweden.
I still get that I must not be Irish. I don't have red hair or freckles. I'm not wearing green all the time. I don't sound like that ridiculous plonker from the Lucky Charms commercial in the States. I actually have black hair, no freckles and I have a slightly Scottish sounding accent.
...Hmm... ... can't be Irish, you're not in this politically incorrect joke: ... O'Leary stumbles into O'Rourke's bar, drunk as the day long, he makes it up to the barstool and asks O'Rourke: "quick! O'Rourke!... ...can you tell me how tall a penguin ish?... ... O'Rourke says to him: "A penguin is about 3 or 4 feet tall; why do you ask O'Leary?... and O'Leary says: "Ooohh thank God!... ...I thought I just ran over a nun!!!... (I'll show myself out, now... ...btw, those Lucky Charms commercials are probably the most irritating thing on American television, I mean, that trope is even spoofed in an Austin Powers movie 😋 ... maybe we can blame Canada)...
this video was so cute! I hadn't heard of some of these stereotypes (pretzels, gingerbread necklaces?!??) but there was one you didn't mention that I've heard! Apparently in Germany, nobody drinks anything with dinner and that you wait 30 minutes after eating to drink! Their explanation was that it's better for digestion. I didn't believe them, but I thought I'd share with you 😄
I would like the stereotypical late 20th century German. Short mannish hair, black leotard, Fastbinder film festival schedule and dancing like a robot to Kraftwerk music. Monocle and cigarette in holder optional.
I just realized that I watched a lot of cartoons as a kid that were riddled with stereotyped characters. Trixi, you totally cartoonified yourself there! You know, you naturally defy one particular stereotype, though. Your sense of humor is downright carefree and ebullient! You have an international sense of humor, if that makes sense, or humor ;-) Now I wonder what Miss Stereotypical America will look like. Oh! The suspense! -Phill, Las Vegas
Really entertaining. And I do have to say... You really did look very cute in that dirndl and with braids :-) And just out of curiosity: The size of that censor bar surely was just showing off, wasn't it? :P
This popped up in my feed 4 years after it was posted. I gotta say I do like you in your Dirndl, but here's an idea for a future video - how about we explore the different Länder of Germany and see what their stereotypes are. Do they have a regional dress? What sort of food do they eat there? We've had the accents, now - the culture!
Lol. I'm Turkish and we suffer from stereotypes too. According to stereotypes, we all eat kebab, we are brunette /black haired and dark skinned, all men have thick moustaches . We don't speak English or we speak English with the thick typical Turkish accent, For eghzample piople assüm vi tolk layk dat. But we are nothing like that. Come, visit turkey and you will see. Great video btw
This is fucking hilarious! I love this! Other nationalities should do similar videos! "You're Japanese, right!? Here's you're samurai sword, hentai DVD and NISSAN!"
well i live in america. you could say I'm american, although my parents were born in india, but i was born in the uS. i recently made friends with a German girl who came to study abroad for a semester; i dont think any of the stereotypes are true! im pretty sensitive to stereotypes because these days with trump in office, stereotypes abound about immigrants. and even though i was aware that some of her friends in college had stereotypes about Germans, i didn't really believe them, and i found that she didn't fit the stereotypes, and i didn't really believe that she would fit the stereotypes. i just thought "ooh, someone from Europe. i wanna talk to her" lol

I live in Vienna, Austria and it seems like the "All Austrians wear lederhos'n or Dirnd'l, live on the 'Alm' in the Alps, ski all the time and only eat Wiener Schnitz'l"-Stereotype is actually quite widespread among international guests. And with that picture of Austria come many questions over the lips of the tourists. For example a tourist once asked a guide on Stephansplatz "And where are the alps here?". He wanted to know where in Vienna the alps where... And a lot of people that I heard from, that are not from Austria, were surprised, that they didn't see anyone in Lederhosen in Vienna. It seems Austria is still seen as a country that is totally cut of from society in a dale between the alps.
I just noticed your pronunciation of 'accessories' (1:38), very French. How do I write this so it makes sense; it's more like how you say 'access' so "acks-ess" and "or-reez" on the end. Try "acks-ess-or-reez", rather than "asses-swarz". Also what do you call braids in German? The combination with the Dirndl, I love it, so cute. :)
Oh, great! Now my monitor has wet bread crumbs on it! That was the toes' fault. Where was your helmet with the horns, valkyr, and why was there no Wagner playing in background? I think good sterotypes are helpful. But obviously most of them aren't that good. Like the one that Germans have no sense of humour - absolute ballony. Other streotypes of Germans... they shout, a lot. They love David Hasselhoff, Google, sauerkraut and classical music. They are very formal, wear school teacher clothes and high heels and suits and call you "Herr" or Frau". Germans are obedient and follow rules. Well I'm a Finn. Basically most people don't know Finland exists or where it is. Commonly mixed with other Nordic countries. BUT if someone for some reason has heard of it.... Our Scandinavian neighbours seem to think Finns always carry a knife, and for fun stab each others... or some other people. And internationally Finnish stereotypes: Finns don't speak. Except when they have cell phones. Finns are obsessed with electric gadgets, maybe because they help you not to speak and introverts find computers a good company. Finns don't show or don't have emotions. Except when drunk and they are often drunk. They are pagans and witches and shamans. Everyone listens heavy rock, and highly possibly is a member of a band. Finnish house is called sauna.. or igloo. Reindeer herding is a common livelyhood in Finland. Finns are related to seals and feel no cold, they can walk nekkid middle of winter in the snow and take swims in the hole of the lake, because their physiology is somehow inhuman and cold has no effect. Finns can slide on ice without falling and babies learn to ski and walk same age. Finnish national dress is windbreakers and white tennis socks. All Finns love salty licorice. Finnish kids are just really smart and well educated. There is no corruption and Finnish politicians mean the best for their people, mass media is honest and you can trust anybody. You can't learn Finnish, because it is the hardest language, basically impossible to learn. Finns speak Swedish as their second language. Finns don't like Russians, and even less the Swedes.
Please admit it, Trixie! Everything you said, other than the outlook, is really extremely typical super german- especially the strictness with paperwork, Germans worship the paperwork! The facial expression is also as you depicted. Been in Germany for 3 years now and have never met a German who smiles!!! Weather is exactly as described, but this is something we can't criticise, because people have no influence on it, on the contrary it may be a contributing factor to the typical facial german expressions :)
72modi You must live in the wrong part of Germany. Come to Cologne, we like to smile and laugh over here. And only a select handful of Germans love paperwork. Most people hate it.
I once read a comment on Quora by the manager of a company wanting to sell their product worldwide: Negotiations with their German partners were concluded in an afternoon, negotiations with their US partner: still going on after 4 years. A problem with licences if I remember correctly. So... cliches aren't always true!
to be fair, I live in Hamburg and i can say the constant rain stereotype is well deserved. It took me a while to figure out what that warm bright thing in the sky was today. I'm from Australia and until I moved here I didn't realise it was possible for so much water to fall constantly from the sky.
I am English but have spent a lot of time in Germany and Austria. Yes I was told it always rains in England, the queen goes out in her crown everyday. The French call us Rost beef. We don't always eat roast beef. Hope it helps trixy.
can't wait for the "Stereotypical American" one Because that I know I will make my ribs hurt from laughing. and this was funny because as I've learned more about German and Germany I've learned about the stereotypes people I know have for Germans. great video and keep up the great work
BloodChild121 bible in one hand, gun holstered on hip. sunglasses, baseball cap, t shirt jeans Mc Donald's burger in other hand. overweight out of shape loud obnoxious rude staring at a phone should cover it. 😋🇺🇲
America is one giant Stereotype, which is why the wisest Americans brush it all off and make fun of each and every stereotype. It is cathartic and helps to pull you back to reality and recognize that everyone on this planet is the same, despite the obvious differences. Humor and Music will save us all.
We've had three holidays in Germany - only saw dirndls and lederhosen in the bierfest at Rudesheim. The Rhein in flames at Koblenz was very impressive. So, I guess we must have enjoyed our three trips - with German friends!
das Video war eh lustig aber am Schluss das mit dem Wasser und "jetzt siehst du aus wie eine typische Deutsche ... das Wetter genießend" das war der Overkill :)
Awesome! I'd love to see people do that about other stereotypes. Great way to counter them without coming off attacking anyone for thinking that way and being misinformed. :)
Hey, Trixie, I'm British and Americans think that we are posh(and speak like the Queen), drink tea constantly(meaning we never get any sleep) and like posh stuff. What do you have to say about that?
Great videos Trixie. I just came across your videos and subscribed. You make the traditional German dress and braids look amazing. Keep up the great work.
IDK, the Dirndl and braids looked fantastic, and I happen to go for sausages and potatos and beer lol! There's always a kernel of truth in stereotypes, and while it may not be endemic of day to day Germans, there are definitely some associations. There IS way more organization and punctuality among Germans than with many other peoples. The last time I was in Europe, after having issues with trains in Holland and Belgium, I actually said to myself "I just have to get across the border back into Germany and everything will be okay; it'll all make sense and everything will be on time", and it was! And, there are a lot more good beers, and good beer influences, that have come out of Germany than any other place. I live in an area known for small breweries, and a lot of the local brews can trace their roots and influences back to Germany =) Lastly, organization; there have definitely been times at work when I've inherited a grabasstic disorganized mess, and then sighed and said to myself "f***; this needs a German!" and then put myself into my most German mindset and dug in--and after quite a while, I was able to get everything ordered, sorted, accounted for, labeled, the works! Sometimes you've got to be proud and embrace your heritage!
I know the traditional dress is now only worn on Sundays by a few old-timers and on certain holidays, but I wish it was common everyday attire for everyone throughout Deutschland. I just really like the look.
I am from Siberia and while living in Canada I heard such idiotic stereotypes all the time. Like (in January): "Why do you spend the lunchbreak inside? Aren't you supposed to be used to frosts?"
the company i work for has leibherr as one of it's costomers. they send an auditor to us occasionally. he fits the very thorough, attention to the tiniest detail stereotype.
I am from Hamburg. I am from Northern Germany. I am so much fed up that all stereotypes of Germany are in fact Bavarian which is just a part of Germany (or not Germany at all). What about our beautiful northern culture? Nada! And in Austria, Dirndels are way more often worn than in Germany. And Sauerkraut is extremely popular in the Alsace and Champaigne regions of France, they literally eat it as a side dish every day ... Stereotypes are so annoying ... And the most well-known German food store in Los Angeles is the Alpine Village, only Bavarian stuff ...

The narrator actually becomes quite terrifying towards the end xD
Do you like braunschweiger? It doesn't seem widely available in the US, but you can find it in areas with a moderate German influence. I don't know how popular it, but I remember it fondly.
See Sommergfühl - ARD Sommerhit Königin 2013: I do not understand every wort but it's etwas als: "Schenkst du mir eine Liebe von dir... in der grünen Wieseflink und der blauen Himmel geflirrt..."?!!! Boarisch? Bayerische? Your video is Awesome!!
You made my day with socks and sandals (as italian, is the 1st stereotype on german people we have!), really ROFL!!!! Very funny! Stereotypes are almost always miths to dismantle, and all countries have some of them to manage...
I like to imagine this alternate reality where all stereotypes are true for all people and I start each day with a potato and a bucket of butter and then go off raiding!
Someone told me that in Germany people don't do something unless there is a sign telling them that they can, and in the UK they do something unless there was a sign telling they can't.
One time, my German professor once showed up in Liederhosen to class! We were just roaring in laughter. That's probably the silliest stereotype thus far.
I'm Australian, I can confirm none of the stereotypes about my people are real. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to feed my pet koala.
Hey mate, don't forget to wrestle the kangaroo when leaving.
Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down.

2:47 that beer glass isn't stereotypically German enough, it should have a handle and be about twice as big :)
etvdzs wenn scho Bier, dann ne Maß!:D

Most German beer glasses are smaller than the Bavarian ones. But a lot of German stereotypes are Bavarian stereotypes.
BassaSelim true! LOL!
etvdzs No it has to be a stein.
That´s right! Kölsch for instance is consumed from 0,2 l glasses (de Kölschstange) :D
O.k. sometimes from 0,4 l glasses (e jroßes Kölsch) :-)
Sandals with socks only applies to German men. And you look absolutely adorable in a drindel and braids.

He wanted to know where in Vienna the alps where... And a lot of people that I heard from, that are not from Austria, were surprised, that they didn't see anyone in Lederhosen in Vienna. It seems Austria is still seen as a country that is totally cut of from society in a dale between the alps.
OMG 😂 Kompliment, das ist einer der besten vlogs die ich je gesehen hab (dachte mir ich mach mir in die Hose als du "Regen" bekamst)...
This was super fun to watch!! Great video!
You always make me smile :)
Great and very funny video.
You are always so funny! Actually you are an excellent teacher of language and culture. Well done. Thank you,

I just noticed your pronunciation of 'accessories' (1:38), very French. How do I write this so it makes sense; it's more like how you say 'access' so "acks-ess" and "or-reez" on the end. Try "acks-ess-or-reez", rather than "asses-swarz". Also what do you call braids in German? The combination with the Dirndl, I love it, so cute. :)
So where is the uncensored version?
Well, we did see her feet. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Life is DEWG Toe-tally
Hitman If you look closely, you will discover that she is still wearing a bra ;P
My stereotypically german sausage is getting harder than her pronounciation.
You just hit the spot, Mr. Hitman!
Oh, great! Now my monitor has wet bread crumbs on it! That was the toes' fault. Where was your helmet with the horns, valkyr, and why was there no Wagner playing in background?
I think good sterotypes are helpful. But obviously most of them aren't that good. Like the one that Germans have no sense of humour - absolute ballony. Other streotypes of Germans... they shout, a lot. They love David Hasselhoff, Google, sauerkraut and classical music. They are very formal, wear school teacher clothes and high heels and suits and call you "Herr" or Frau". Germans are obedient and follow rules.
Well I'm a Finn. Basically most people don't know Finland exists or where it is. Commonly mixed with other Nordic countries. BUT if someone for some reason has heard of it.... Our Scandinavian neighbours seem to think Finns always carry a knife, and for fun stab each others... or some other people. And internationally Finnish stereotypes: Finns don't speak. Except when they have cell phones. Finns are obsessed with electric gadgets, maybe because they help you not to speak and introverts find computers a good company. Finns don't show or don't have emotions. Except when drunk and they are often drunk. They are pagans and witches and shamans. Everyone listens heavy rock, and highly possibly is a member of a band. Finnish house is called sauna.. or igloo. Reindeer herding is a common livelyhood in Finland. Finns are related to seals and feel no cold, they can walk nekkid middle of winter in the snow and take swims in the hole of the lake, because their physiology is somehow inhuman and cold has no effect. Finns can slide on ice without falling and babies learn to ski and walk same age. Finnish national dress is windbreakers and white tennis socks. All Finns love salty licorice. Finnish kids are just really smart and well educated. There is no corruption and Finnish politicians mean the best for their people, mass media is honest and you can trust anybody. You can't learn Finnish, because it is the hardest language, basically impossible to learn. Finns speak Swedish as their second language. Finns don't like Russians, and even less the Swedes.
Please admit it, Trixie!
Everything you said, other than the outlook, is really extremely typical super german- especially the strictness with paperwork, Germans worship the paperwork!
The facial expression is also as you depicted. Been in Germany for 3 years now and have never met a German who smiles!!!
Weather is exactly as described, but this is something we can't criticise, because people have no influence on it, on the contrary it may be a contributing factor to the typical facial german expressions :)
72modi You must live in the wrong part of Germany. Come to Cologne, we like to smile and laugh over here. And only a select handful of Germans love paperwork. Most people hate it.
Ehhm... just no.
I once read a comment on Quora by the manager of a company wanting to sell their product worldwide: Negotiations with their German partners were concluded in an afternoon, negotiations with their US partner: still going on after 4 years. A problem with licences if I remember correctly. So... cliches aren't always true!
to be fair, I live in Hamburg and i can say the constant rain stereotype is well deserved. It took me a while to figure out what that warm bright thing in the sky was today. I'm from Australia and until I moved here I didn't realise it was possible for so much water to fall constantly from the sky.
I am English but have spent a lot of time in Germany and Austria. Yes I was told it always rains in England, the queen goes out in her crown everyday. The French call us Rost beef. We don't always eat roast beef.
Hope it helps trixy.
A man with one watch knows what time it is, but a man with two watches is never sure.
can't wait for the "Stereotypical American" one Because that I know I will make my ribs hurt from laughing. and this was funny because as I've learned more about German and Germany I've learned about the stereotypes people I know have for Germans. great video and keep up the great work
BloodChild121 Dana should do the typical american.
Jan Fluitsma YES! completely agree!
It would take Trixi about 6 months to put on enough weight to be a "Stereotypical American"
BloodChild121 bible in one hand, gun holstered on hip. sunglasses, baseball cap, t shirt jeans Mc Donald's burger in other hand. overweight out of shape loud obnoxious rude staring at a phone should cover it.
😋🇺🇲
This could become a series of videos with a lot of people feeling unnecessarily insulted. Go for it, Trixi! :p
Hi Trixi, thanks for helping me learn german in a funny and entertaining way, love your videos❤
America is one giant Stereotype, which is why the wisest Americans brush it all off and make fun of each and every stereotype. It is cathartic and helps to pull you back to reality and recognize that everyone on this planet is the same, despite the obvious differences.
Humor and Music will save us all.
Congratulations Trixi! I really enjoyed your video, you are simply amazing. That is a very nice idea of videos. Good luck ang greetings from Crete!
How can you be so funny!!! Love everything you do! 😀❤
We've had three holidays in Germany - only saw dirndls and lederhosen in the bierfest at Rudesheim. The Rhein in flames at Koblenz was very impressive. So, I guess we must have enjoyed our three trips - with German friends!
das Video war eh lustig aber am Schluss das mit dem Wasser und "jetzt siehst du aus wie eine typische Deutsche ... das Wetter genießend" das war der Overkill :)
You have a good sense of humor.
Potatoes, sausage, and sauerkraut is what I had for supper last night! LOL!
Awesome! I'd love to see people do that about other stereotypes. Great way to counter them without coming off attacking anyone for thinking that way and being misinformed. :)
You forgot the blonde hair.
Hey, Trixie, I'm British and Americans think that we are posh(and speak like the Queen), drink tea constantly(meaning we never get any sleep) and like posh stuff. What do you have to say about that?
"Americans"
i liked it trixi good job ..the water made me lol !! but the cookie made me smile !! good job ...
Great videos Trixie. I just came across your videos and subscribed. You make the traditional German dress and braids look amazing. Keep up the great work.
😂😂😂 how have I not seen this before!?! If you need to make the perfect American I volunteer for tribute! We may need a fat suit😂
I wear socks with sandals, keeps my feet clean and still able to breathe.
IDK, the Dirndl and braids looked fantastic, and I happen to go for sausages and potatos and beer lol!
There's always a kernel of truth in stereotypes, and while it may not be endemic of day to day Germans, there are definitely some associations. There IS way more organization and punctuality among Germans than with many other peoples. The last time I was in Europe, after having issues with trains in Holland and Belgium, I actually said to myself "I just have to get across the border back into Germany and everything will be okay; it'll all make sense and everything will be on time", and it was! And, there are a lot more good beers, and good beer influences, that have come out of Germany than any other place. I live in an area known for small breweries, and a lot of the local brews can trace their roots and influences back to Germany =)
Lastly, organization; there have definitely been times at work when I've inherited a grabasstic disorganized mess, and then sighed and said to myself "f***; this needs a German!" and then put myself into my most German mindset and dug in--and after quite a while, I was able to get everything ordered, sorted, accounted for, labeled, the works!
Sometimes you've got to be proud and embrace your heritage!
This is the funniest TH-cam video I have ever seen! Love it!
Really funny video. Thanks Trixi!
I know the traditional dress is now only worn on Sundays by a few old-timers and on certain holidays, but I wish it was common everyday attire for everyone throughout Deutschland. I just really like the look.
4:05 - It was really good hahaha
This video is amazing 😄
My stereotype is that we sit down watch downtown Abby and drink tea all day 😤 xx
I love this! Trixie, your videos are always awesome.
Not going to lie.... I clicked as soon as I saw Trixie in her cute German outfit :)
Sehr toll Trixie :) und eure Zoepfe sind sehr neidlich :)
I think this was your best video. Very interesting.
In 2017 I visited Germany and found a lot of beer & sausages, but they are more likely to have fries with that than sauerkraut.
I am from Siberia and while living in Canada I heard such idiotic stereotypes all the time. Like (in January): "Why do you spend the lunchbreak inside? Aren't you supposed to be used to frosts?"
the company i work for has leibherr as one of it's costomers. they send an auditor to us occasionally. he fits the very thorough, attention to the tiniest detail stereotype.
I am from Hamburg. I am from Northern Germany. I am so much fed up that all stereotypes of Germany are in fact Bavarian which is just a part of Germany (or not Germany at all). What about our beautiful northern culture? Nada! And in Austria, Dirndels are way more often worn than in Germany. And Sauerkraut is extremely popular in the Alsace and Champaigne regions of France, they literally eat it as a side dish every day ... Stereotypes are so annoying ... And the most well-known German food store in Los Angeles is the Alpine Village, only Bavarian stuff ...
The narrator actually becomes quite terrifying towards the end xD
Do you like braunschweiger? It doesn't seem widely available in the US, but you can find it in areas with a moderate German influence. I don't know how popular it, but I remember it fondly.
Trixie should have put on some Kraftwerk in the background!
See Sommergfühl - ARD Sommerhit Königin 2013:
I do not understand every wort
but it's etwas als: "Schenkst du mir eine Liebe von dir... in der grünen Wieseflink und der blauen Himmel geflirrt..."?!!! Boarisch? Bayerische? Your video is Awesome!!
You made my day with socks and sandals (as italian, is the 1st stereotype on german people we have!), really ROFL!!!! Very funny! Stereotypes are almost always miths to dismantle, and all countries have some of them to manage...
One thing missing: the MOUSTACHE!!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Sehr schönes Video :) und die Zöpfe standen dir ausgezeichnet :)
I like to imagine this alternate reality where all stereotypes are true for all people and I start each day with a potato and a bucket of butter and then go off raiding!
That ending was just beautiful!
Love the rain that you have over there.
You actually had all this stuff to make this video. Stereotype confirmed pretty darn accurate.
In all honesty, the braids and the dirndl _do_ look quite adorable, but that's about as far as I would've gone.
I liked the edition of the video, really funny to watch!

Someone told me that in Germany people don't do something unless there is a sign telling them that they can, and in the UK they do something unless there was a sign telling they can't.
One time, my German professor once showed up in Liederhosen to class! We were just roaring in laughter. That's probably the silliest stereotype thus far.
That was FANTASTIC. Loved it.
