@@TheyCallMeTouchpad The grammar is perfect but the pronunciation is bad so I fear he doesn't really speak German, he just got the relevant lines prepared by someone else. Still, this is more effort than most other shows are willing to do. For example, if someone in South Park speaks German, both the grammar and the pronunciation are terrible. Of course this doesn't really matter for the purposes of the joke, since most of the audience doesn't understand the language.

@@TheyCallMeTouchpad It's not criticism. "Fluent" is is just ambiguous. The Grammer is perfect, but the pronunciation shows that he probably doesn't speak the language. If we mean grammar, the lines are indeed fluent. :)

All in all it doesn't make any sense as previously stated due to the fact that the verb would be in the infinitive. Gladly ruining jokes as is German tradition!
