American reacts to THE FUNNIEST GERMAN MEMES [#61]

[@DaGuys470]

"A law with literally the longest name in history" Mate, Selbstbestimmungsgesetz is one of the shortest names for a law I've ever seen. Don't you disrespect Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.

The vote is for the "Jugendwort des Jahres", so the "youth word of the year", an annual vote for youth slang known for being "slightly" out of touch, especially in the beginning. The woman in the video is Susanne Daubner, a news anchor for the most known state news broadcast, the Tagesschau. In the last few years the Tagesschau has begun to broadcast the 10 words in contention and she became a meme for pronouncing the words in a typical German news anchor style, very clear and without emotion. Also, the olympics didn't parody The Last Supper, they were inspired by a painting of a feast of the greek gods.

[@not_that_person]

[@AclibButLikeTheRealOne]

​@@not_that_personNot to get too political but it's just typical "I make things up in my head to be mad at". I'm willing to bet most people still think it was a parody of the last supper because they want it to be that way. Though some blame should also be laid in the organisers because it did show some similarities which should have been avoided, like the sun behind one of the actors that could be interpreted as a depiction of jesus, which should've been obvious that it would cause confusion in the first place, though that's about it.

​@@Bioshynthere are a bunch of paintings of feasts from that time with a bunch of people behind a long table. Also, the painting you reference, the one of the last supper, very much wasn't arranged like this, as there was noone on the table, and the food and decor on the table wasn't as lavish, as that wouldn't make sense for the christian last supper. You know what is also well known, directly connected to Olympia through ancient Greece and looks much more like what they did? A dionysian feast. This might be less recognizable for non-Europeans, but in much of Europe we have both a part of our history education in school reference the ancient Greeks and have quite common references to classical antiquity. If you compare it side by side there is very little actual resemblance between the olympic opening ceremony and the famous painting of the last supper, except that there are some people behind a long table.

The faster the bigger the distance.

A 'warning' is a concept of German employment law and is comparable to an expulsion from school in the broadest sense: If you do something that breaches your employment contract (e.g. frequent lateness, poor performance), do something that could damage your employer or its reputation, or otherwise seriously misbehave at work, the employer can issue an official warning. If the reason for the warning continues to occur, an issued warning can justify extraordinary dismissal and is therefore a legally important event and should be taken seriously as a sign of possible dismissal. However, employees can also write warnings to the employer if, for example, the salary is not paid or is paid late, which also justifies extraordinary dismissal on the part of the employee.

Maybe he doesn't drink them every day, I don't know.

[@Elholz]

Yes, I saw the original post and the poster explained that it was the parents reaction to the kid drinking alcohol and energy drinks.

If you thought, "Selbstbestimmungsgesetz" is one of the most long words in German, take a look at: "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz", which means Beef Labelling Monitoring Tasks Transfer Act

The official exchange rate between Mark and Euro have never been changed. As it stands, one Mark ist worth two Euros.

Trash cans are not labeled with a registered license plate. Therefore the owner can't be held responsible. Maybe a random bypasser grabbed the can and placed it like that. You can't stop a man if you didn't see him doing it. He didn't paint or damage the speedometer, so it ain't vandalism. I believe that is the best way to take a stand without facing any consequences.

[@Anna-zi7sx]

I’m sure that half of our laws have longer names than "Selbstbestimmungsgesetzt"

[@mickypescatore9656]

Hi, Ryan! Some people in Germany use also an insect screen.

[@timweber4318]

5:15 It's basically a warning for like "disturbing the peace and the workenvironment" by pointing out there's no smoke detectors. Basically the boss being really pissed that someone pointed it out and he technically should do sth. Instead of doing sth, he tries to signal "don't ever point out errors again, fuck you for creating tasks i have to do now, i won't do it though, you shut up"

Ever heard of the phrase: ‚Pyrotechnic ist kein Verbrechen!‘

my dad was already drinking energy drinks when it was still illegal in Germany in the 90s red bull only became so big when it was allowed by the EU law change in 1994, after which the (legal) sales rose to "gigantic" levels

[@adaadena7291]

haha the enrgydrink thing is so real, my mum thinks energy drinks are the devil. But offers me to drink a wine or a beer with her every evening, while I am visiting. I get migraines when I drink alcohol. Energydrinks help lessen the severety of my migraines LUL

[@greeensmoker8607]

The window war 😂😂hahaha . And the most of the german have a screen on the windows. It costs not that much and is easy to install.

[@blackmounthare]

Speaking of more than one energy drink a day: In "Berufsschule" most of my classmates drank at least 2 cans of Red Bull and that was only in the morning! It had to be expensive too. I know they lived on their own, always complained about how broke they were, but they didn't stop drinking this stuff. They didn't even return their Pfand! I took the Pfand with me and got out with like 5€ a day.

[@englyn1]

Caffeine content in energy drinks is a lot higher in other countries, though. So drinking two in Germany is not a big deal at all. You drink multiple cups of coffee a day, don't you? But you shouldn't try that in other countries. I think even in Austria they can have seven times as much caffeine as they can legally have in Germany.

[@SaithMasu12]

Okay the "dumme Sau" joke was funny!

10:28 talking about the longest name for a law: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The exchange rate was 1.95583 DM for 1 € Yes, I still have that memorised.

[@robertheinrich2994]

[@Steindaemon]

10:30 we actually had a law called Rindfleischettiketierungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz so it's by far not the longest word (:

[@FalkRichter-w7w]

15:17: GG stands for Grundgesetz - you could compare it to the Constitution. and there is a radar trap hidden behind that trash bin

You shold know, that many people voted for the word "döp" or "döp dödö döp", but it was censored and not allowed. If you doesnt know, what i am talking about, listen to Gigi Augustino Tojour L'amour

4:10 It wasn't even a parody of the Last Supper, it was the feast of Dionysos with even someone dressed as Dionysos on the table. Conservatives just chose a shot where he wasn't seen but just people behind a table and raged about it.

[@johanneshalberstadt3663]

We have screens, but windows usually dont come pre-equipped with them. So you have to install them yourself and of course there is cost and hassel involved. I've tried it a few times, butnoften, the get holes, get damaged, or the glue doesnt stick that keeps them up (most are taped in) so it's more of a hassle than dealing with a few bugs a year. Its really not the bad in Germany. Depending on where you live, of course. Near a Lake or a Swamp it may be worse. Also, screens dostirb your view to the outside. And in the dark winters we ge here, they take away some light, so you.would have to de-install and reinstall them each year. But that being said, if you are a richer German and hate bugs, I am sure you have a permant screen frame that can be inserted into the window frame and taken out, so you can have the nice professional screen in summer and free sight in winter.

I recommend a trip to Germany. I am sure, you are pretty famous over here by now 😂. Put it on your to do list. With your knowledge you should not have any problems 👍🏼.

One Euro is roughly 2DM. Re: energy drinks -- a 50/50 mix of natural apple juice and a good, natural sparkling water with lots of electrolytes is about as effective as a standard energy drink and MUCH better for your body. 🙂

[@ebbhead20]

The meme about the smoke detector thing was translated wrong. It should be... And you get reprimanded for doing so. Also the windows the Swedish have arw all over Scandinavia. My 2 bedroom windows are open like that right now. And insects coming into your flat is not really a Scandinavian thing. I dont know who has stuff coming in but i might get a bee over the summer. But theres not a bug every month coming in. That would be insane. Had that in england though. 2 different places did i have a wasp problem. Used the hoover for about 35-40 minutes to suck up 130 bees or so. Absolutely insane.

It doesn't matter if you tilt the window outwards on the bottom or inwards on the top (as in Germany), lol...

Füller is not filler, but ink-pen. Kulli = slang for ball point pen. Kulli is short for Kugelschreiber.

6:10 Wow, I just came up with this a few months ago. But the lower side has to be movable, so it doesn't rain in.

[@thealphafox64]

15:38 Paragraph 20 line 2 of the German Constitution is a law that states all state power is by the people and the picture below shows a speed camera being covered by a resident’s trash can lid. This is because the camera is so close to the traffic sign that it would register traffic in the area in front of the sign where it doesn’t technically count yet. I think the setup of this camera is illegal in the first place so the also-probably-not-legal covering of an illegally installed traffic camera by someone chancel each other out 😂

[@colinnehling9323]

At my College the Student next to me often drunk 4 coke and one energy drink, sounds bad to me

[@stevqtalent]

04:15 it wasn't DaVinci's last supper, it was "the feast of gods" by Jan van Bijlert showing greek gods - because of the olympics and all. conservatives were just outraged because christians don't actually know their own stuff

[@laurav9575]

love your videos

[@Kath2378]

No, kids don't sit in a field drinking 12 energy drinks, they sit in their rooms drinking 12 energy drinks. This is the first time I heard someone genuinely think that people only drink one of those a day. Some people literally don't drink anything else.

[@thorstenrusch8652]

You should watch videos about the Brittish movement against speed cameras. They wear dino costumes and dance in front of the cammeras with signs in their hands.

Energy drinks in the US and in EU are very different. Producers had to drastically reduce the amount of caffeine and the other stimulants in there by EU law.
