Tracey Ullman - Angela Merkel Sings "99 Red Balloons" (Full Sketch)

[@martinphilipps8678]

Why do people think we Germans have no sense of humor? If fact the opposite is true, we take our humor so seriously, it's no laughing matter!

[@ericjourdain892]

I am sure you guys have a nine syllable word meaning precisely that 😜

[@Domihork]

Well the best joke here was that Pilsener beer is a German thing... I laughed so hard.

[@Linus_Prosper]

@@Domihork Indeed, it's actually austrian ;)

[@Domihork]

@@Linus_Prosper Lol... Even a better joke... If only there was a town/city called Pilsen after which Pilsener is named... Oh wait, there is! Pilsen (Plzeň) exists... and it's in Czechia, nowhere near Austria. Saying that Pilsner is German (or even Austrian) is as ridiculous as saying that Budweiser is American :D

[@Linus_Prosper]

@@Domihork At the time Pilsen beer was invented, Czechia was actually a part of Austria. It was first produced in 1842 by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll.

Nur eine Frage, ich bin Holländerin und wenn sie versuchen Niederländisch zu sprechen in filme, wählen sie oft Deutsch, statt Holländisch. Du hast gesagt 'not Dutch.' Bedeutet das, dass das Deutsche Akzent oft in Ausländische (nicht-Holländische) Filme, sich anhört wie Holländisch? Ich dachte, das war immer andersrum.
