Indians React to 37 Imitations by Max Giermann (Imitationen des Max Giermann)

[@HansJoachimMaier]

Sadly, for most of his personas you need to know the original to fully appreciate his art.

[@jhdix6731]

It's amazing how well he manages to get all the little ticks and behaviours of the people he imitates. Also, kudos to the makeup artists

[@michaelthomas8592]

Max Giermann is the MOST PERFECT IMITATOR in German TV ever! Not only in behaviour but also in the voices...

[@Anthyrion]

6:54 Klaus Kinski was a german actor and probably the definition of "An actor between genius and madness". He was infamous for his outbursts of anger, if someone does or asks something stupid (by his own definition) and you never could predict, what behaviour he does. He was partily feared among kolleagues and sometimes even among his friends. When he and his director, who was a good friend of him, made a movie in South America, they hired some natives for carrying the equipment and because they knew the surroundings. At one day, some of them came to the director and told him, that they feared Kinski and asked, if they should kill him and bury his corps so deep in the jungle, that no one would ever find him.

not sure, but i think at 5:50 Max playes both ^^ 6:50: "Claudia Schiffer, let me say it like this: The apple is still at the tree, but it's also end of October." 🤣

[@philipschulze2.070]

1:32 He was indeed younger there than in some of the other scenes. This was a show called "Swith reloaded" with multiple now famous actors or comedians and they made parodies of reality shows or scam shows like this "Astro TV" you saw him in in this scene. Or the second and third one when he was Brigitte Nielsen and this man in this beer garden, "Christian Rach". The real Christian Rach for example was a restaurant tester and had his own show, they parodised him there. He was part of the cast from switch reloaded and the shows is from 2007-2012

i absolutely LOVE his " Klaus Kinski " imitation its better than the original xD

[@piage3067]

Saw a few reactions to it, so ty for understood its the same person every time!

[@chgr4674]

The interviews where he portrays politicians are all part of satire shows. Many of the other clips are from the show called switch reloaded which was an amazing show where they parodied other German TV shows. The show was amazing

[@philipkudrna5643]

In order to fully appreciate his talent, you would have to know the original! It‘s mindblowing! He does not only look like them (which is obviously the achievement of incredible make-up artists), but he imitates and exagerates the movements, gestures and even the voice and dialect of the originals. (By the way: At 3:56 he plays Hugo Egon Balder, who is in the audience of another performance at: 6:33!)

[@JoeCoffin-dj2ru]

Many hours for the Mask, Max Giermann the best^^ Hello from Germany 👋😁

[@michaelthomas8592]

He's got around about of 40 or 50 persons AT ONCE!!! Genius!

[@grimmstein3714]

Max is a genius!

[@Nikioko]

His best imitations are: Klaus Kinski, Hugo Egon Balder, Stefan Raab and Karl Dall. But to know these persons, you most likely have to be German.

[@brecheisen9787]

Für Stefan Raab muss man kein Deutscher sein , der ist sehr sehr viel rumgekommen besonders bei den Amis ^^

[@wallerwolf6930]

Sorry if I have to say this, for a non-German this form of humor can hardly be translated and certainly not the connection with German personalities (politicians, actors, etc.) in public life. For us Germans this is great art and a special humor ;-))

[@ClioBoy1]

The most of this characters was germans, with significant facial expressions and dialects (u dont know). Thats why pls check out more parodies about Trump, from Max Giermann! There are a lot and u will love Max for this, like we germans do ;)

[@ferdirunge4510]

once he told about the masks. it tooks about 5 hours every time to create that effects. mostly for the satire show extra3.

[@philipschulze2.070]

3:27 You have to watch a video of Helmut Schmidt, germanys former chancellor from 1974 to 1982, all the other ones are very good too but it is totally perfect here. You will almost find no difference between Helmut Schmidt in real life to the time he looked like Max Giermann in the Sketch and Max Giermann 4:47 Also here, a big part of this have the guys and girls who made his mask, but if you compare this where he plays Jens Spahn, former terrible health minister of germany to the real Jens Spahn, almost no difference. 10:43 Another comedian he played, Thorsten Sträter, you will find almost no difference here. German KZbinrs who reacted on this and knew how Thorsten Sträter looks like thought that this can not be Max Giermann.

[@koabua1973styria]

Max Giermann is an human Chameleon. His Make up and Mask takes Hours to make them so real. He is THE MASTER of Imitation. 😂

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

The KZbinr "Who is Mert?" has made the effort to show the originals in his reaction.

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Yep... The old Scotsman is really getting into it. Recently, he watched Evelyn Hamann's English "television announcement". He's really starting to understand our sense of humor...!

[@robertb8673]

Karl Dall was a know german Entertainer and comedian from 70s/80s.

[@Ollinossi]

greets from germany😎👍

[@ferdirunge4510]

max is the german jim carry ;p

[@johnsutton6544]

If you're going to do a comedy reaction on Giermann do a Kinski deep dive ... even a lot of Gernas will watch this!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@uwelohr7958]

this is being hilarious, but you still miss 99% of the fun not knowing the original persons he is impersonating...

[@djambush360]

Would make more sense if you could see the originals. This would make this video more meaningful.

[@cosa09]

I'm so sorry that u don't know the originals =) But yes - this is all one person wich immitated every person perfectly

[@rohrmeister6995]

Klaus Kinski! ❤😂

[@stevesambale3717]

If you know the people he play ,you will be much more impresed.

[@u.e.u.e.]

It's a pity you don't know the originals and you don't have the English subtitles. 🤪

[@thomasstroh-uu2mj]

And everyone he shown here are German celebrities or politicians

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Ich möchte nicht, dass Trump als Deutscher gerechnet wird! Und Trump, möchte das auch nicht...

[@michaelthomas8592]

It WAS ALL ONE REAL PERSON: MAX GIERMANN!!!

[@Roberternst72]

The mannerisms and voices are almost pitch-perfect, if a little overacted. The makeup… not necessarily so.

[@blendonaut3015]

saaar, no poo, is ai fake.
