Indians React to Forklift Driver Klaus

[@frankie2374]

The effect of this instructional video is that you will never forget this video and therefore remember the rules. The video was produced by the trade association that deals with forklift accidents. it's funny and chilling at the same time. you will never forget the rules again

[@chadratboi2849]

Yeah these safety rules are there for a reason. Everyone who had to witness what a lathe does to a human is gonna be carefull around it.

[@Sciss0rman]

Our instructor actually made us watch it. It was pretty funny. :D

[@andreas6121]

This is an instructional video for forklift drivers but it's made with a lot of dark humor and yes, I saw it at work and it was part of my driver's license 😄🤣

[@kokoloko8423]

Ahaha nice to see you guys found this German classic :D One of the most effective instructional safety videos for sure.

[@tomgerasch560]

Every future forklift driver in training in Germany has seen the “safety video”, everyone without exception. Since I also have a forklift license, I also saw it 20 years ago

[@DJone4one]

I'm a forklift driver and this Video is so classic for US. The first splatter film😂

[@camino6007]

Well, a normal working day in Germany. 😉

[@SheratanLP]

Occupational safety is important. And rules save lives.

[@christianjunghanel6724]

Yeah ! This one is a legend of a video here in germany!😅

[@jochendamm]

It was meant to be a splatter movie and never concidered as instructional source. It is a parody on old instruction videos. The voice out of the off is a legendary moderator that hosted a show for traffic education for adults like car drivers called der 7. Sinn ("the 7. sense"). But it got so much popularity that it is used as actual instruction video how to not do it. Many instructors use it like that. But it is not part of the actual curriculum.

6:46 Her look speaks volumes.

[@Kokuswolf]

Haha... missed that. Her sidelook!

[@antonmaier5172]

There is also an instructional video for electricians.

[@JOKERLE21]

'Elektriker Horst' und 'Friseuse Gaby'

Welcome to German Humor mixed with "learning-info in the background"

[@QuartaRatio]

YEAH SHE IS BACK 👍

[@SheratanLP]

👍👍👍👍

[@alexanderkaiser8770]

The german, final destination 😂

[@duit111]

I had a hearty laugh. That's called dark humor. And there are some US or UK movies that also make fun of it, like Scary Movie or Shaun of the Dead

[@morbvsclz]

You kind of had the same reaction I had when I first saw it. First I though it's a boring instruction video. Then I though it was needlessly graphic. And then I started laughing because it is so clearly over the top and thus not actually horrifying anymore, but it turns into a kind of morbid "slapstick humor".

[@pixelbartus]

Germany has kind of a history with dark educational stories. Have a look to the original versions of Grimm's fairytales and how gory they were before Disney made them family friendly. Or "Struwwelpeter" (I think in English it's "shock headed Peter"). A colourful book for kids, with stories in which children starve to death, burn, or get cut off fingers and something like that, when they don't behave properly. From this base "forklift driver Klaus" is not far away

[@helloweener2007]

"is this a horro movie?"" No it is a splatter movie made in the style on an safety instruction video. And the gore is so much over the top that it is funny.

[@ralfbauerfeind8236]

Especially the start is like the educational videos they use to educate future forklift drivers in the 80s... There is a making of of that video when you buy it on DVD that is over twice as long as the movie.

[@denzelpanther240]

it is actually used when getting your forklift license. everyone i know got shown this vid when they made their license. it DOES help to stay aware of the danger

[@ralfbauerfeind8236]

@@denzelpanther240 It is not mandatory, though. Still, there are very few if any at all not showing this. There sure are things to learn here. And as we say in German: "Wer zu sonst nix zu gebrauchen ist, kann wenigstens als schlechtes Beispiel dienen." (Who is not useful at all can at least be used as a bad example.) 😏

[@helloweener2007]

@@denzelpanther240 Yes. I think so but it is not a part of the DEKRA education for forlift drivers. But I totally get it why it ill get shown.

[@denzelpanther240]

we too were shown this video when we got our forklift license. it really helps to remember the rules

[@veryincognito6776]

It's called shock therapie

[@JohnHazelwood58]

German humour! :) I liked it ... < i even have this von DVD.

[@wolf310ii]

That was the harmless and funny version of a safety video. In the serious part of the workplace safety training they also show pictures or videos of real (fatal) accidents

[@ordoviziumvideogame-ost]

This is a Comedy Movie ^^

[@denzelpanther240]

and also a legit instructional video they show you when getting your license

[@narusun7324]

Ein echter Klassiker

[@Kokuswolf]

You see, it's another kind of (german) humor that someone made you see this. I laughed at... no, laughed with you. This is a kind of friendly teasing. Please, please feel free for a revenge. You're welcome, you have honestly earned that.

[@fourlance8633]

Hi,sure every Driver need a licence and had to be Attentive. I'm a forklift driver too, too. I must looked this at, for my driver license. Its absolutly not a Comedy,but you see our dark Humor, Germans deep dark humor.😂😂😂

This may help your understanding: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forklift_Driver_Klaus_%E2%80%93_The_First_Day_on_the_Job

[@gordondry]

The next time you enter a hall of a production company you will be aware on each single corner. As you should.

[@michaelmueller9635]

Maybe it's the German directness 😁

[@freiwildnatural6624]

In job education at scool, we saw this film for learning, thats german training vido, learning is not so boring, with this kind of stuff.

[@elchicko1976]

Oh, it’s true. This is / was a real education video here in Germany.😅 But they don’t use it that often these days.

[@wotgerman2070]

Best german comedy ever :)

[@CaptainF68]

😂😂😂 a classic!

[@sasud.5419]

German Humor... a only 😂bit bloody

[@hy-drenalin8211]

It is german accident prevention video shown in every idustrial learning class...not nice but effektiv...

[@NIckEDSmith]

Staplerfaher Klaus the best 🤣🤣 War auch mal Klaus 🤣🤣

[@miztazed]

must be so foreign when watched in India, where safety rules even non exist.

[@arnodobler1096]

Black humor 🤣

[@beageler]

Hilarious

[@MarkusHeumann-gu4nr]

And the world thinks german have no sense of humor. I saw this video too as i make my "Staplerschein"

[@o6liv9er1]

About the Germans having no sense of humor. Don't miss Elektriker (electrician) Horst.

[@ArmandoBellagio]

This is definitely not a standard educational video in Germany or elsewhere, at least not in the jobs I applied for...

[@hh-kv6fh]

We had a scalplock hanging next to the lathe

[@Hey.Joe.]

Finally an "educational" instruction video which is not so narcotic to me like the standard try and forgetable ones.

[@danielkaufmann15]

To answer you simply, that was a vid that will show people what could happen when they disobey safety rules. It's a horrible video, you won't forget it? Job done😊

[@ralfbauerfeind8236]

There is a classic saying: "Nobody is useless. They can be used as bad example, at least." 😏

[@dinoeaton92]

I need 5:18 to be a meme template

[@jasondelmaitre2838]

😂😂😂👍

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

Typical german instruction video about safety rules. German First Aid videos an not even better.

[@fourlance8633]

For sure

[@entermesser178]

😁😩😎
