Reaction To Hagen Rether - Nothing Changes

[@AFNacapella]

oh, Hagen Rether. the 99% dark chocolate of German satire

[@akkasams2059]

Absolutely. Mostly, I have a hard time to laugh - truely bitter. I wonder how it feels to sit through his show and have the people around laughing and clapping their hands.

[@voyance4elle]

@@akkasams2059 it feels absolutely amazing and icomparable to any other thing I have ever experienced...

[@flowq3874]

I have seen him live twice. Each time, I left the show with a mixture of guilty conscience, mild misanthropie and revolutenary spirit.

[@Marc310380]

Very nice description of the mixed feelings Hagen tends to stir up inside his audiences, I felt the same way

[@blckrchtng]

same :)

[@jmc2179]

Ha! Perfectly described. Thats why Im gonna see a third show. I suggest a couple of years in between the visits.

[@jakobschmahl9377]

I’ve only seen him once but that’s exactly how I felt afterwards

[@Deolinchen]

​@@jmc2179yeah would suggest that, too. I've seen him after 10 years in between. It's amazing how some sentences trigger the same emotion from then!

[@ROMA_DESERTA]

I've seen Hagen Rether live. His show goes 3 hours minimum. I met him afterwards and had the chance talking to him. He is a very down to earth guy and pretty smart.

[@GretchenMuller-uw9sl]

yepp same experience and for a few adhs kids this 3h show was really a challenge lol

[@stefanfeyle1096]

I saw him a few weeks ago and he's not doing 3h anymore. Probably he changed his mind during Covid break. He said that people always told him "It was a nice evening, Mr. Rether, but the parking garage was already closed after your show." 😂

[@pierrefley5000]

Can confirm, missed my last train after a ~4h Rether show. 😆

[@Winona493]

​@@GretchenMuller-uw9slKids were there? Gosh, even I, as a non ADHSler and adult, would probably have issues to hold on. 😂

[@a.r.9357]

He's the best. You never know weather to laugh or to cry during the show, but he's just so nice and so smart and just genuinely lovely to talk to.

[@cedrictekken6063]

Now you are watching the highest quality of German Kabarett. Rether ist brilliant!

[@lakubana92]

hes from Essen, just like me. I worked in a vegan restaurant he was a regular. he is really a personality, impressive guy

[@blondkatze3547]

I think it`s great how Hagen Rether deals with German history and religion. I am of the opinion that we Germans in third generation are not blame for the terrible crimes that were committed, but it is our job to ensure that such crimes do not happen again and never Facists come to power again.

[@srccde]

It's not our job because we're Germans. It's our job because we're human. Therefore, *every* human being has to take responsibility in ensuring it's not going to happen again.

[@TimoBreunig]

Agreed!

[@Fragst3rDota]

With the raise of AFD some may doubt we an ensure that^^

[@Nala_Uko]

@@srccdeabsolutely! What’s Germany‘s „Aufarbeitung“ good for if the rest of the world polishes it’s own history and steps in the same trap the Germans so carefully try to avoid…

[@blondkatze3547]

Unfortunately, this can not only be observed in Germany , but throughout Europe that right- wing parties are gaining popularity . I hope that there will still be enough opponents of the right -wing parties and fascists.@@Fragst3rDota

[@nikolah.8472]

Hagen is really top tier, many cant stand him because he is very direct and can be very hard on some topics. His intentions are still viable, he want to bring change not from the top. His concept is the philosophy of the age of enlightenment. The society has to change to change the world. He often points the finger not only on politicans and "them above us" but on society itself, because we created what we dont like and we are often too lazy for change. Many carbarett acts dont use this style of storytelling and only focus on the politicans and elites.

[@edelweiss-]

Solche Menschen sind gefährlich. Sie können den größten Einfluss üben ohne dass man etwas merkt.

[@miskatonic6210]

Attending his live shows is truely a cathartic experience. Almost spiritual. Similar to what he did here. He crushes you with the worst of mankind and then builds you up again with beacons of hope. And he uses pauses and his body language like few else to hammer his messages home without ever raising his voice.

[@biniaddi]

Exactly! I was in tears after his live show last year and needed to take some deep breaths on the way home and think about my life and privileges. The title of his show has been "Love" for years now and it keeps circling the same themes of climate change, fascism and all sorts of depressing topics. And yet you leave with a feeling of hope and love. ❤ I think he really is a philosopher and more people would need to listen to him. The thing that makes him qualify as a "comedian" is that he sits at the piano for the whole show only playing one song at the very end and keeps randomly eating bananas. 😅

[@YezaOutcast]

hagen rether is known for the fact that you dont really know if you should laugh or cry when he delivers his content. often his performances are very though provoking and deeper then you first think. he is a very interesting artist for sure.

[@MZBS639]

An absolute unique style

[@SLovegod]

Hagen is guarantee for goose bumps… it is always on point and is always thought provoking

[@farbenclaudi2686]

To see Hagen Rether live is a great experience. Even after three hours I would like to hear more and more...

[@davezwieback4208]

North Koreans by Hagen Rether is also great. Love your reactions, keep it up.

[@JensBroos]

Agreed. One of my all time favorites!

[@Marc310380]

Hagen Rether is awesome. This clip is from a mixed show, but when you go to see him live on a solo show, like other people wrote before me, they make take 3 or even more hours. Sometimes he takes long breaks between sentences, forcing his audience to endure the silence together with him. Then, after talking for like two hours, he likes to make a joke that goes "Ok then, maybe we should get started now, I've got so much text prepared for you and it's already like 10.30 pm...". Similar to Pispers he is mostly speaking the truth in a quite poignant way, of course from his own perspective but most of the facts are true. I did cry several times during some of his live shows, because he can stir up a mixture of shame, guilt and anger inside you, but you also get to laugh a lot. Oh and he's quite a decent piano player too.

[@HarveyHirdHarmonics]

When I saw him last time, his piano playing was even better than usual. Real impressive actually. He probably had a lot of time to practice during the pandemic. I already have my ticket to see him again this month.

[@derFuchsi]

Hagen Rether is the pure evil. He lulls you with his calm voice and out of nothing he stabs you with a knife and it hurts. It's fantastic

[@ErikHilgemann]

Jupp so ist es

[@bjrnptrsn]

Hands down, he ist the smartest carbaret artist in Germany. I loved it seeing him live, highly recommended.

[@ferdirunge4510]

when you know hagen rether, you have reached your final destination about grrman humor!

[@juilescieg]

He is not making jokes though. I am always wondering, why the audience is laughing and applauding.

[@red_dolphin468]

@@juilescieg they signal him their aproval to his saying.

[@janfritzmann1710]

It is funny, because it is true.😅

[@TechDeath91]

Hello. Watching your videos only Recently. I am from Austria and it's very interesting to see these reactions. I thought I post a comment for the algorithm. Also your accent rocks 😅 Sounds so special.. Edit: wow that went deep.. Didn't know him before. I will definetly look him up.

[@vgn2018]

Es lohnt sich, ihn live auf der Bühne zu erleben 👌

[@Lamiran12]

I've been waiting for this one. I love love looooove Hagen Rether!!!! Total Genius, very revolutionary and always touching. Great reaction video! Love it!

[@YTIcke49]

So great to see your reaction to it. If you listen to him, you always want to applaud at what he is saying. For reccommendation, try Georg Schramm aka Lothar Dombrowski if you haven't already.

[@thorebergmann1986]

Guido Knopp is a german historian who was often in TV and made shows about the german history

[@themonstergummitier1844]

And his shows are made for a broad audience in a popular scientific way, something, other historians tend to criticize.

[@LarissaSchiefer]

I absolutely love Hagen Rether and what he has to say. I have been to so many of his shows I cannot count them anymore. Many people might feel defeated because he really does not shy away from the unconfortable truthts. But for him it is always about what we as a society can do. It is not about the big politicians and leaders - it's about his audience. And it is about love for the world and for people. Every show that he gives is called "Liebe" which means "love". For me his words are hopeful. They are optimistic but without ignoring how the world actually is.

[@DB-hc2es]

Hagen Rether is one of the three best cabaret artists in Germany. He is simply great. His statements about meat consumption are also very interesting. And he is absolutely right!

[@EdgarRenje]

I was at one of his live shows this year. He's absolutely outstanding! This one you watched is a very short performance. He usually presents the program "Liebe" (love), in which he explains way more details and adds/updates it with current issues.

[@a.r.9357]

And his program always is called 'Liebe', which I really like, because despite all the bad things he points out, I guess this is his true stance on humanity.

[@gutefrage879]

I did not find any hagen rether shows on youtube for years. Nice to see him again.

[@SchteveL]

Perfect choice - i love Hagen. you have to watch more of him. I saw him live once - his "dry", smart and straight humor is just the best. greetings from germany

[@walterpost9073]

Hagen really is one of the best we have. He’s so calm and delivers so much information, it’s just refreshing to see someone so calm.

[@Taliesin2]

Great timing. Hagen Rether was in my town this weekend, but I missed him because I mixed up the date, which made me a bit sad. So now I'm quite glad to see this great performance here.

[@nihidea]

I love Hagen Rether, glad to see you react to him, I hope we'll get more of that! tbh i've been finding myself thinking of him a lot these last few weeks especially, I'm really wondering what he'd say about our current situation. But he's touring again, so I'm planning to go see him when he's in my area. Seen him multiple times before and I always leave his show at least a little bit changed.

[@vgn2018]

Dann hoffe ich, dass Sie sich auch überwiegend vegan ernähren 🌱. Er ist selbst Veganer und sagt es auch in den Vorstellungen.

[@tobiasdegner5526]

One of the best... Hagen Rether !

[@suesun7072]

He is like a dateless scalpel extracting the niffy pus of mankind. Like a mirror, he confronts you with the bitter truth we are all aware of, but too ignorant and comfortably numb to change ourself. Just to end on a positive note which gives hope. For me, one of the best German cabaret artist.

[@PetraNaefcke]

Have seen him live on stage in May this year. A breathtaking experience. He offered a 4-hour-long program. Almost too much for the brain to process everything he said.

[@eisbaellsche175]

Hagen Rether once started his show with a very impressive nonverbal statement. He entered the stage and without sayin anything put a baseball bat upon his piano. Fire away...😂

[@Silberwolf01]

Hagen Rether is an impressive incarnation of wisdom and true humanity. I like him very much. Thank you for the reaction! :)

[@millawochnik972]

I REALLY love your videos and value your comments. It's fun (and enlightening) to watch those shows "with you". Also, I REALLY love Scotland and could listen to your dialect all day 💙😁

[@barroomkicks]

I remember his live show 10 years ago - 4 hours of a brilliant show!

[@kajbeuter9139]

Hagen Rether is, in my opinion, one of the best German "comedian" (in German: Kabarettist). I saw him live on stage several times and it was always enlightening.

[@lisabartz9988]

Mein absolut liebster Kabarettist. Ich habe mir gewünscht, dass er hier auftaucht, deshalb freue ich mich gerade so so sehr :D 1000 Dank :)

[@wa5t3dy0uth8]

waited for a hagen rether reaction on your channel. def would reccomend his „Love“-Monologues. Always food fo thought with this one

[@dreistein]

You asked about Guido Knopp. He was a Gernan historian, notorious for his Hitler obsession and documentaries like "Hitler's secret army", "Hitler's last secretary", "Hitler's mysterious diarrhea". In his attempt to scrape the barrel, the subjects became more and more absurd, so there are some parodies on him, too.

[@andyparal]

You forgot his award winning documentary "Hitlers' farts and the influence on climate change." That really was a highlight.

[@hevog]

Hagen Rether is my hero, I saw him live once, he is a very intense and charismatic performer, absolutely worthwhile seeing on stage including his piano playing. Georg Schramm would also be an absolute must, but here I think it will be really difficult if you are not a native speaker. The English subtitles are often rubbish and do by far not convey what the artist is delivering. Also, some knowledge of German politics, institutions, society, celebrities and so forth is of course helpful when following this kind of satire and political cabaret. All the more I find it astounding that you show so much interest in German culture, society and mentality. Thanks for your interest, man, I appreciate it.

[@wernerclarssen2939]

Hagen is my most favourite Entertainer for political satire here in Germany! He also is a good piano-player! - and banana-eater (well - you have to research that) ;))))

[@LipoAkku]

Oh great you picked up on Hagen :) in fact i will See hin live next year

It doesn't really matter what exactly you watch from Hagen Rether. It's a sure fire hit anyway

[@kundennummer8644]

He is absolut the ultimative king. his life shows are about 3 hours and he fills a whole Philamornie or Operahouse in big cities and you sit in your seat like no where else with stocking breathe. I wish every country their own Hagen Rether. Thanks for your reaction, hope you will have more with english subtitles

[@maxmiranda9397]

Hagen Rether ist viel zu Intelligent für unsere Politiker.

[@neokio.f]

I admire him too, a very gentle guy, though he doesn't speak like a teacher, rather in a mood like a good friend from early youth times visiting you after years again. Sitting at a grand piano gives the impression of a wide emphasis and expression. I always feel like homecoming as I used to play keys as well. Wish he would sing as well. 😊

[@SafezoneExpert]

Great reaction again! Thank God no one decides that things will change. The only thing humanity decides is the level of pain at which the changes take place. "Nothing is as constant as the change of things!" (Socrates) 3:22 From Wikipedia Guido Knopp is a German journalist and author. He is well known in Germany, mainly because he has produced a great number of TV documentaries, predominantly about the "Third Reich" and National Socialism, but also about other topics, such as Stalinism.

[@masterkontrollprogramm7122]

Since i start watching your reactions I am able to understand Gary Andersons speech much better. Thanks for that 😜

[@icke2594]

The mentioning of Guido Knopp was pure sarcasm. He did history documentaries on ZDF I think and all on very low standard.

Hagen is the Darth Vader of german satire!!!!!! Love it❤❤keep going!!!!

[@peterreimerMannaufderBank]

I guess Hagen Rether for the first time can be a very special experience? It was a long time ago, but I still remember the impression...

[@philkirn1642]

Volker Pispers and Hagen Rether, two masterclass heroes of german political Kabarett. I´ve seen Pispers live one day and watched most of his and Rether´s content here... it´s dramatic, how clear and obvious things are in this modern world - and on the other hand the facts don´t reach the masses. But as Rether says here: it is forbidden to give up or hide behind the "nothing changes"-phrase - which is nothing else than searching for a justification to be a lazy badass...

[@blitzstrahl]

He is hands down the best in Germany. Disappeared from view before the so-called "pandemic", sadly. How I'd love to hear him comment on that...

[@Scyllicious]

If you want a quick laugh to brighten up your day ...he might not be the best xD BUT he always manages to give you a (or "correct" your) sense of perspective!

Hagen Rether has more or less stopped appearing on TV because he can no longer tolerate the stupidity of TV viewers and producers. He's absolutely right about that! He currently only appears on the normal stage.

[@farbenclaudi2686]

[@Pfefferhaubitze]

Wutbürger is a quite new word in Germany. It means pople who are angry. It's exactly what he described before. I often say people with built-in bad mood. Often they have a lot, like a family, a house and a job, but they decided, that all is terrible. There is always a target, like refugees, the green party or even worse the whole society. Often not possible to understand the reasons of their fundamental opposition. Sometimes they repeat what is written in Germanys biggest turret blade "Bild", which is owned by American KKR Corporation. They invested a lot in fossil energy and hated the German switch to renewable energy. They spread a lot of lies including that one law (Gebäudeenergiegesetz) was written by the green party. Most people isn't clear, that this law was from the former government and was only changed a bit by the new government. But this also means, that the mass media away from KKR did a poor job in Germany. The truth should be spread if KKR makes a disinformation campaign. That means, not all is that OK in Germany, like it looks with the lot of satire. Nearly all press is owned by a lot of conservative owners. It's not always a sign of quality, if the truth has to be put into jokes.

[@soewenue]

He is scottish, just say it is the german "sun" 😉

[@headofmyself5663]

​@@soewenuehe made an outstanding analysis imho. The Bild and the Sun are comparable since good old murdoch has also highly invested into fossile energy. The analysis transents countries as it seems.

i two times saw him live with his ever continouing program called "liebe" (love). with Pispers one, if not THE best german speaking carbaret artist. ;) (Guido Knopp, was a history channel moderator with a continuing TV Series)

[@EndoplasmicReticulum7]

Well, I was just about to recommend him…but you were quicker. He‘s probably the best German political satirist.

[@reiserlein]

Hagen Rether nimmt einfach kein Blatt vor den Mund. Eigentlich müsste man nach jeder Show auf die Straße. Sein ganzen Programm "Liebe" ist einfach nur genial. Was Deutschland angeht sind wir gerade leider an dem Punkt den er beschreibt. Die Aggressivität und der Fremdenhass nehmen zu. Wobei ich der Meinung bin, dass sich nach Trump hier in Deutschland die Rassisten und Wutbürger einfach mehr in der Öffentlichkeit zeigen als zuvor.

[@kix1464]

I've been wanting to recommend him to you but haven't had the time to find anything with good English Subtitiles for you. I missed this one apparently. 😁 I really like his take on the meat (and other animal products) industry. But since I know that you eat meat I didn't want to "disrupt" your comfort and recommend those to you. I'm glad that you found him though.

[@chartreux1532]

Being German i just came across your Channel via the Video "Reaction To German Comedian Roasting UK, USA, Germany & Russia (Michael Mittermeier - Das Blackout)" And in one part of that Video you ask if it's really true that in the 1980s etc. you basically got whole Classes focusing on Shame and being guilty. And me being born in 1986 and went to School in the 1990s-early 2000s: Even then that was the Case. In Fact as Teenagers with our WW2 Veteran Grandpas naturally felt very attacked a la "I was born in the 1980s, why should i feel bad?" I don't know about the 1970s and 1980s but god damn in the 1990s and early 2000s our History Classes were so insanely focused on "Germans Bad" we ended up with t he Opposite of what Teachers thought they reach with that kind of Education. I still remember 12yo Students jokingly saying stuff like "Once a Year we got Santa Claus, but 3 times a Day we got Holocaust." Definitely wasn*t a good Decision by German School Boards to be this extreme and unhinged. On the upside i heard School and History Class nowadays in Germany is more "balanced". So you learn all about the War Crimes but you aren't actually told by your Teacher how your Grandpa at Home should be in Jail and how you should feel guilty. I hope that's true because it definitely was ridiculous back in the Day as Michael Mittermeier mentioned including after his Time when i went to School. Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps

[@thomasvieth578]

I love Hagen Rether; unfortunately, I haven't seen a recent program. Perhaps he stopped

[@sophiakimmig-r8b]

His Song "vorzeigelinker" is a really smart analyses of the development of people within the political system

[@nothingTVatYT]

Hagen Rether is really thoughtful and shows how we fail in seemingly simple issues - like why don't we do this or that, it's simple, but we're incapable. You can hear him saying "I don't get it" a lot like he has a point of view as an outside observer to humanity and if you strip away what we're all used to and don't question anymore it's so true that many things are unbelievable stupid. As an agnostic you may enjoy an older act regarding a headline "We are Pope" ("Wir sind Papst") when Ratzinger became Benedikt XVI. In just some sentences he lays out how hypocritical a church is (here it's catholic, but I'm pretty sure Hagen dislikes all religions).

[@pestizid]

Didn't know about him before, thanks for putting him on my map! All of what he says is pretty true, although for me it wouldn't work to say that other people don't see the impending catastrophe, so I can turn a blind eye on it, too. I really think we only have a couple of good years/decades left before all of our wrongdoings and our greed will turn against us. Not Islam, but Capitalism can't be reformed...

[@thorsten6422]

He has a very intellectual, artistic and slightly melancholic style and you can feel that he might burst into song at any moment. He kinda reminds me of Georg Kreisler. I love German cabaret.

Wow that was so strong! I saw him live once and he is just amazing. That moment when he spoke about the holocaust survivers and then switching to "Who am I to resign?" - that made me tear up.

If you want to check out some less political sketches I can recommend Poetry Slammer Jan Phillip Zymny. He also has some texts translated to english. I just recently saw "Die Leute Polizei" which has an in video translation. But I'm sure there are also other texts of him that are translated

[@sandyakabatteriehuhn]

I was about to suggest him as well!

[@googlekonto194]

well, I just checked and couldn't refind the version with the translation. Guess the quality of the translations varies pretty hard if you take the auto generated ones. But probably someone else finds the exact video title and post it here :)

[@Why-D]

Again a very good cabaret artist. We have a lot of really good satirists.

[@SFoX-On-Air]

"Wutbürger" is a German term that can be translated to "angry citizen" in English. It refers to individuals who express their dissatisfaction, frustration, or anger with the government, political decisions, or societal issues. Wutbürger often engage in public protests, voicing their concerns passionately and sometimes vehemently. The term gained prominence in Germany in the context of protests against various political and social issues. And this is in almost every known case, extreme right wing politics. Thats why Hagen says: Luther was an Wutbürger that wouldnt even fit in PeGiDa. ("PEGIDA" stands for "Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes" in German, which translates to "Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West" in English. It is a far-right and anti-Islam political movement that originated in Germany. PEGIDA organizes public demonstrations to voice opposition to what they perceive as the increasing influence of Islam in European countries, particularly in relation to immigration and cultural changes. The movement has sparked significant controversy and debate in Germany and beyond.) Wutbürger and PeGiDa is like Football Player and Football Club

[@Megalomaniac2005]

Hagen Rether is gerat. Imho he is best when he seemingly unanttntively starts playing the piano while talking. You'll have to pay close sttention to what he plays - in cobtext to what he's talking about- because then it will rip your heart out. And I love his album titled Liebe.
