@@joelmole3157 Imo this was the most uncreative use of him. Its just a over the top non-sense version of his acutal monologues. The gag was that it was herzog delivering it and thats it. In this scene he is his own character while still having the hilartiy of him beeing portrayed by Herzog.
My favorite part was his joke about Disney world 😂 imagine seeing Werner Herzog riding it's a Small World by himself. Not to enjoy it, just to study it
Imagine being on the It's A Small World ride....and there is a partial power failure. Your car stops moving. But the animatronics, lighting and sound continue playing. You sit for hours. "A small small small small world." Until you go insane. Then you are escorted to the waiting room house, along with the doll head assembly line insane-people.
As a German it's always weird for me to see a German actor in an American production. The accent is just so weirdly familiar. It's nice to see he even got a role in The Mandalorian, he has a great voice for ominous characters.
From the generation of new German cinema, definitely. If Fassbender were still alive, he would be too. Another of these filmmakers, Wim Wenders, rightly does not have the same status at all because he is completely overrated.
"The young lovers embrace on my dining room table as I look on. My life was once filled with excitement, but no more. Forty-seven years of living in this house has made me see past carnal pleasures. Plus the ghosts would scare of all of my dates."
It’s like his mouth badly wants to say Disneywelt (“welt” being German for “world”), but then it has to stretch a little wider to accommodate the “or” sound in “world”, and it is *not* happy about it.
I think what it would reveal would actually be the strange mortal beauty that resides in mundanity. Werner Herzog is very intellectual, but he's not a snob.
April's reaction to the house being a holding cell for people who went insane on the assembly line is gold! She was already stoked about the possibility of it being a dollhead factory. :)
I regard Werner Herzog as one of the world's few truly great film directors. The fact that he has a sense of humor and is willing to be That German Guy just makes him all the greater.
It would be too weird to make but imagine a show where every week the cast, the plot, the setting and the genre all changes, except for Werner Herzog, who plays small cameos in every episode as the same reccuring character. Is it a surrealist exploration of the fractured dreams of a film maker struggling with uncertainty about the path of his career? Is it the story of a man with multiple personalities trying to integrate himself into the Werner character? Is it a deliberate cash grab by talentless hacks at Netflix who cravenly exploit Werner"s positive viewer association? Is it just me, imagining Werner narrating this comment?
Fun fact: Werner wasn't cast for this episode. He was just there when they went inside. They didn't even write any lines for him, he just spoke his truth and they worked it into the plot.
I never noticed that they basically get teleported in to the house! Like when Andy says let's go in they disappear you see the house for a sec then they inside 😂
Lol in the actual show it cuts to Tom back at the office before coming back to the establishing shot of the house. They only disappear into the house in this edit
His pronunciation of Disney World and the obvious Teutonic difficulty in labio-dental expression are beyond precious and the real reason to binge watch this clip.
That disgusted look in the end... I just can't.... I always had Alan Rickman down as the personification of being annoyed, but Herzog takes it away just with these few seconds :)
I'm imagining Herzogs thoughts in the last few seconds being his words from that one interview in the jungle: "It's a land that god, if he exists, created in anger. It's the only land where creation is unfinished yet. Taking a close look at what's around us, there is some sort of harmony. It's the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle. We in comparison to that enormous articulation we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half finished sentences out of a stupid suburban novel. And we have to become humble in front of that overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication, overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the stars in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea, that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say it full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it. I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgement."
AUBREY: This was a doll head factory? WERNER: No. This was a holding cell for people who went insane on the assembly line. Consider this as an online petition to have PLAZA and HERZOG work together again. Like if you need this.
They tried to get him back for a cameo, but apparently he was so unsettled by Aubrey Plaza following him around and asking him about ghosts that the refused. I only wish I made that up.
I’ve been a Werner Herzog fan for over 40 years. Every project he has been involved in has given me entertainment beyond anything Hollywood has ever introduced.
My first ever time hearing or knowing of Herzog was when he was The Zek in Jack Reacher. I had no idea he was and is a prolific documentary filmmaker. When I see his documentaries, I am reminded that he’d killed me.
That they needed a holding cell because it wasn't just one person who went mad, but a regular occurrence, is what makes this an awesome bit of writing. It would be funny if it were any realtor saying this. But Werner Herzog...
Werner Herzog is ALWAYS gonna be the weirdest guest on anything he’s in unless it’s some insane production that also invites David Lynch, John Waters and David Cronenburg… in which case I will be standing in line for the premier 😂
Once I called Deutsche Bahn and the salesman sounded exactly like Werner Herzog. It stayed with me because Herzog is absolutely the kind of person who could just turn up at a Deutsche Bahn callcenter, pull in a shift, and then move casually on to the next Abenteuer.
Even in my third viewing I continued to laugh out loud at this. And when I say LOL laugh out loud, I mean it, literally. And when I say literally, I mean it... literally.
Fairly standard layout. 😂 love 2 & 3/8 bathrooms. Im pretty high right now so I've spent a long time trying to figure out how that bathroom would look.
“Yes it is. Good eye.”
I find that moment so weirdly uplifting.
It’s like it was the spirit of the house looking for the perfect appreciative owner before it descended into horrific ownership.
I understood "Go die!" and found that even funnier... XD
I just love the fact that someone as intense as Werner Herzog still manages to have a sense of humor about himself
i kinda feel like, for the most part, nobody has a sense of humor as vibrant about themselves the way very intense people., like werner herzog, do.
There's a great audio clip of him reacting to Paul F. Thompkins' "Werner Herzog leaves a Yelp review".
hey if Glenn Danzig can make a humorous guest appearance anyone can lol
@billyalarie929 It helps that he has a spirit of "I don't understand it, but the people love it. So I will do it.:
Werner Herzog is quite literally a comedian and this is his brand. It's also always the same.
You cannot convince me that this isn't the best comedic use of Werner Herzog.
It’s either that or having him deliver an eloquent speech on the importance of penises
I preferred his boondocks saints cameo
I like his cameo on Rick and Morty, talking about how humans make fun of penises.
@@joelmole3157 Imo this was the most uncreative use of him. Its just a over the top non-sense version of his acutal monologues. The gag was that it was herzog delivering it and thats it. In this scene he is his own character while still having the hilartiy of him beeing portrayed by Herzog.
Yes, I can. Go watch the Boondocks episode "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman" and you'll change your mind.
I could watch an entire Parks and Rec episode only narrated by Herzog.
He narrated an episode of The boondocks, you should check it out. It's honestly so hilarious
lol, me too
@@willlicks8584 oh my god thats why he sounds so familiar, it was him.
Let me do you one better. There’s a skateboarding mini docu, and he’s a major part of it. Can’t remember the name but it’s pure gold trust me
I could watch an entire documentary series on the history of accounting, narrated by Herzog. Bonus if he directs it.
My favorite part was his joke about Disney world 😂 imagine seeing Werner Herzog riding it's a Small World by himself. Not to enjoy it, just to study it

He has to do it wearing thr Mickey ears hat though.
@@jreese7436 definitely hahahaha. That made the image that much better
Werner would simply experience the insignificant and bankrupt cultural milieu of this so-called 'small-vworld'
He's in one of those spinning cups. It spins. He sits. Life goes on.
As a German I can say that Werner Herzog is the absolute definition of being German and daily interaction with other Germans.
"Hey look at the ordinary office block"
"Yes, the Stasi held my father prisoner in the basement until he went mad"
Wait!
Let me get the Kamera!
I will exercise it´s natural right to be in it´s intended use
How horrifying
@@DL-cs2cjyou don’t know anything my lad
Werner is brilliant and has lived a wonderful, exciting life. Sad to say, the average German is not in the same world, nay same galaxy, as Werner.
As a German it's always weird for me to see a German actor in an American production. The accent is just so weirdly familiar. It's nice to see he even got a role in The Mandalorian, he has a great voice for ominous characters.
We consider him a National Treasure now, so even though we'll let him travel freely...we're keeping him.
He’s not just an actor, let’s be honest. He’s an institution.
From the generation of new German cinema, definitely. If Fassbender were still alive, he would be too. Another of these filmmakers, Wim Wenders, rightly does not have the same status at all because he is completely overrated.
Americans LOVE Werner Herzog. He's just an endlessly fascinating guy.
Didn't know Werner Herzog was an actor but just a director.
His look of cool criticism (sans arousal) as they dry grind onto the table is spot-on.
Herzog is above such baseless and primitive instincts.
"The young lovers embrace on my dining room table as I look on. My life was once filled with excitement, but no more. Forty-seven years of living in this house has made me see past carnal pleasures. Plus the ghosts would scare of all of my dates."
@@sebpaul3548 Oh, I doubt that. You should see his wife. She's about three decades younger and very good looking.
I love the signs. "Open House every day from 9 to 5" ... so apparently he has nothing else to do with his time.
The house has 3 bunkers. That's more than enough space to do everything you'd ever want to do.
The way he says 'Disney World', as if it pains him to utter the words XD
If you liked that, you should check out the clip where Werner says 'here comes honey boo-boo' on Conan O'brien's podcast
It’s like his mouth badly wants to say Disneywelt (“welt” being German for “world”), but then it has to stretch a little wider to accommodate the “or” sound in “world”, and it is *not* happy about it.
I want a podcast where Werner Herzog recites the lyrics to modern pop songs to reveal their puerile banality.
r/iamverysmart
Oh my god that would be hysterical
"Tik tok, on the clock..."
@wittylibrarian but it's not a literal clock it's mortality for we all die.
I think what it would reveal would actually be the strange mortal beauty that resides in mundanity. Werner Herzog is very intellectual, but he's not a snob.
Werner Herzog and Aubrey Plaza sharing a scene sounds like something too good to be true, but here we are.
She has played with Robert Di Niro's nipples....on film.
This is, without a doubt, the best cameo on Parks and Rec, and possibly the best of any situation comedy in the English language.
The great thing about this is that Werner Herzog is only slightly less of a manic than this character.
Takes one to handle a Klaus on a leash.
April's reaction to the house being a holding cell for people who went insane on the assembly line is gold! She was already stoked about the possibility of it being a dollhead factory. :)
I regard Werner Herzog as one of the world's few truly great film directors. The fact that he has a sense of humor and is willing to be That German Guy just makes him all the greater.
I wish Werner Herzog would cameo in everything I ever watch. I want a full season showcasing his Disney World adventures.
Disney Man.

I’m on board! Werner is all we need and I love your narration.
Just him walking around commenting on things.
This really shows how Herzog is a person without pretense, I love him
1:24 look at Werner just posted up there oh so non chalantly
Fun fact: Werner wasn't cast for this episode. He was just there when they went inside. They didn't even write any lines for him, he just spoke his truth and they worked it into the plot.
I see no reason to doubt this.
Bravo, Vince
YES!!!!!!!
This is the scene from P & R that I did not know existed, and I did not know, until now, that I needed!
Thank you for posting!
What makes this a great cameo is that this dude is just as random and hilarious if you don't know who he is
How is it possible that every word that comes from Herzog’s mouth is coated in dread? Oh wait, he’s German.
Not death. Tension and meaningfulness. ☮️
I never noticed that they basically get teleported in to the house! Like when Andy says let's go in they disappear you see the house for a sec then they inside 😂
Lol in the actual show it cuts to Tom back at the office before coming back to the establishing shot of the house. They only disappear into the house in this edit
@@00rabbit7Bummer, as I think that jump cut edit AS IS would've been perfect for this bit. Make it just a little less 'real.'
I concur.
Then I realized I made this comment.
His pronunciation of Disney World and the obvious Teutonic difficulty in labio-dental expression are beyond precious and the real reason to binge watch this clip.
I don't care how I die, as long as Werner Herzog narrates it.
I love his director's commentary on his films.
Werner Herzog doesnt mind the free publicity for his gravely voice
Everything he’s saying is just making Andy and April more excited.😆
I mean, it is Herzog after all. Imagine that voice narrating a romance novel.
That disgusted look in the end... I just can't.... I always had Alan Rickman down as the personification of being annoyed, but Herzog takes it away just with these few seconds :)
The moment I heard Werner, not see him but heard him, my skin jumped out of my skeleton, I was frantically looking around for bears . . .
I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. The blank stare of the bear speaks only of a half-bored interest in one thing. Food.
That look of Joy on her face when he said this was the place the holding place for people who went insane at the doll head Factory!
Werner Herzog the GOAT of unexpected Cameos
An out-of-left-field cameo that Michael Mann would be proud of.
Werner reviewing, nay, journaling Disneyland/Disneyworld ride experiences is something I never knew I wanted.
“I would like to see the baby” is all I hear
That was my all-time favorite clip from that show - or any show. I wish the producers has pursued this further, even just a little.
Orlando is the word I use to tune into a Werner Herzog impression
I love that the episode just sics Werner on you and there's no gracious entrance for him, he just shows up and is Werner Herzog instantly
Werner Herzog is such a genuine talent
I'm imagining Herzogs thoughts in the last few seconds being his words from that one interview in the jungle:
"It's a land that god, if he exists, created in anger. It's the only land where creation is unfinished yet.
Taking a close look at what's around us, there is some sort of harmony.

But when I say this, I say it full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it. I love it. I love it very much.
But I love it against my better judgement."
That is pure Lovecraft right there 😮
Love him
But our answer is Architecture
'Overwhelming Fornication' is still one of the best phrases ever uttered
@@willumbermarchant5510 It definitely needs to be a band name.
When I first heard Werner was appearing on P&R I thought, "is Jerry getting mauled by a bear?"
Werner Herzog is just incredible at everything he does.
A spinoff of Andy and April in a haunted house would have been amazing.
"would have"? They are still both alive. I demand one.
With Werner as the narrator.
@@MysticSavage that'd be perfect.
Spinoffs are always bad
He's not planning on ever entering disney world, of course. He just prefers to be closer to it.
clozer* to it
That is 100% the attire Werner Herzog showed up to set in. No costuming required.
Herzog being so deadpan while talking about moving closer to Disney World is just gold.
AUBREY: This was a doll head factory?
WERNER: No. This was a holding cell for people who went insane on the assembly line.
Consider this as an online petition to have PLAZA and HERZOG work together again.
Like if you need this.
They tried to get him back for a cameo, but apparently he was so unsettled by Aubrey Plaza following him around and asking him about ghosts that the refused. I only wish I made that up.
When he said "Good Eye" I had this sudden fear that someone's eye was about to go missing.
I simultaneously want to find out why he's moving to be near Disney World while also being terrified at what I might find.
He told you: To be closer to Disney World.
He doesn't intend to ever visit it.
the funniest bit about this sequence is them acting like they're in pawnee when they're very obviously in the middle of suburban los angeles
Werner Herzog is probably one of the best actors of our time.
Idk about that but he's a good director lol
I’ve been a Werner Herzog fan for over 40 years. Every project he has been involved in has given me entertainment beyond anything Hollywood has ever introduced.
My first ever time hearing or knowing of Herzog was when he was The Zek in Jack Reacher. I had no idea he was and is a prolific documentary filmmaker. When I see his documentaries, I am reminded that he’d killed me.
I desperately wish that April had more interaction with Werner Herzog. He was the only person on the show weirder than her.
I have thought many years about what is my favorite cameo, and it's this.
That they needed a holding cell because it wasn't just one person who went mad, but a regular occurrence, is what makes this an awesome bit of writing. It would be funny if it were any realtor saying this. But Werner Herzog...
It's even funnier that he's the occupant, not the realtor.
Werner Herzog is, simply put, the absolute freaking greatest.
any responsible person would buy the f* out of a place like that.
In this economy, that house is easily worth $800,000.
”On account of it being haunted… and DIS-gusting!”
I love when Werner Hertzog randomly appears in things
The solemnity of banality. This is art!
Werner Herzog is ALWAYS gonna be the weirdest guest on anything he’s in unless it’s some insane production that also invites David Lynch, John Waters and David Cronenburg… in which case I will be standing in line for the premier 😂
How creative it was to create a whole show called Parks and Rec just so these actors could be extras in a Werner Herzog movie.
When you think about it, this show had some wild fucking cameos.
Once I called Deutsche Bahn and the salesman sounded exactly like Werner Herzog. It stayed with me because Herzog is absolutely the kind of person who could just turn up at a Deutsche Bahn callcenter, pull in a shift, and then move casually on to the next Abenteuer.
That was amazing. Such brilliant casting with hertzog 😂
"...no kitchens, it's a fairly standard layout"
Werner Herzog is a goddamn global treasure.
How and why does this make Herzog out to be the most normal character on this show?
I can totally see him playing a Bond Villain
I had somehow completely forgotten about this scene. Thank you algorithm for reminding me.
Werner is a true superstar.
Lol, you can say the Herzog delivery its definitely a thing
Even in my third viewing I continued to laugh out loud at this. And when I say LOL laugh out loud, I mean it, literally. And when I say literally, I mean it... literally.
The Disney line cracks me up every time 😂😂😂
Fairly standard layout. 😂 love 2 & 3/8 bathrooms. Im pretty high right now so I've spent a long time trying to figure out how that bathroom would look.
Does this show take place in Newark? I swear this house looks like the Monarch's from the Venture Bros.
This is how i figured out he was in rick and morty. Was waiting for this scene. Now i get why he was so disgusted at our people.
That house today is worth over $1M
depending on it's location it could easily be $3 million
He’s looking for grogu
I just saw this episode for the first time. Gob SMACKED!! WERNER HERZOG??? How? I want to know who and how this came to be!!!
Werner Herzog is like ketchup or chocolate. Anything you add him to just gets better. ❤️
Love Werner, he nailed the delivery!
Being in The Simpsons and this aswell just shows what how goated Herzog is!
i forgot about this completely, what a nice reminder
Watch Incident at Loch Ness……
Great doc by Werner…..;)
Inspired by the Winchester Mystery House.
Stairs to nowhere and haunted yeah, it's the Winchester House.
When you realize the old guy is in the first episode of the Mandalorian as that Imperial officer talking to Din.
"Show me the baby."
Old guy? You are not worth a piece of his dandruff
I don't him anywhere near Disney World!😂😂😂😭😂
Yeah, bring him to disneyland so i can say hello.
This was the greatest cameo in the history of sitcoms
What did they do with the headrests?
the perfect guest star, you philistine
He wants to open another house like it for all the Disney employees who went mad hearing 'It's a Small World After All' on repeat 8 hours a day.
And Werner Herzog used to use Klaus Kinski for the same creepy factor. LOL!
Man I don't even go here but he ATE up this scene.
Werner with his commanding documentary narrator voice😎
Yep! Still not tired of this.
OMG this is the funniest thing I've ever seen on P&R
Herzog needs to be in more everything 😂
So good! :D
Nice to see PFT getting some screen time.
