2:02 As a German, it really hurt finding out that there's an American company called "Wienerschnitzel" that doesn't even sell Wiener Schnitzel. Also, you can tell that they don't speak German because 1. if it's spelled without a space it technically means "cutlet made of the flesh of people from Vienna" and 2. the original name of the company was "Der Wienerschnitzel", but "Schnitzel" is neutral ("das") unless you mean "snippet".

[@austinmcconnell]

Any idea why we do that? It makes no sense.

[@rutgerb]

I onces saw "Dutch Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus" in Canada. Every word is wrong. Pfanntastic and haus are German words. And pannenkoek haus should be pannenkoekhuis/pannekoekhuis. It didnt hurt me though. Its just 'ignorance' and no customer notices it.

[@Galadhatan]

Here's my theory on the mysterious wandering dog injury. They got a dog who could act wounded with only his front paw. But (having had several myself) dachshunds can only really pull off something like a cast from the back paws (no leverage for the front, see?). So they said, "eh, who's gonna notice?" But they weren't counting on you, Austin! Love your videos (and keep representing our state!)

[@austinmcconnell]

Solid theory! Thanks for the kind words. Hope you're having a great start to your week! Take care.

It bugs me that Wienerschnitzel sells hot dogs because Americans think "hot dog" when they hear "wiener." But Wienerschnitzel is a style of breaded pork, steak, or veal. Wiener sausages and Wiener schnitzel are both called that because they come from Vienna (Wien in German). I would go into a Wienerschnitzel expecting actual Wiener schnitzel and leave disappointed and soul-crushed.

[@juliamavroidi8601]

It's only a Wiener Schnitzel if it's veal, if it's pork it's called a "Schnitzel Wiener Art".

Low-budget direct-to-DVD movies are an untapped goldmine for commentary imho. I would honestly watch the heck out of this if it became a series. Jurassic School or Ghost Squad, anyone? (Also, if you're looking for some recommendations within this bizarre genre, my cousin would watch the movies Standing Ovation and Dear Dumb Diary on repeat when she was younger. Both of them are generic tween girl feel-good movie musicals with some completely bizarre story choices that you would absolutely get a kick out of)

[@briandoolittle3422]

Why is a hot dog company called Wienershnitzel? Wiener schnitzel is a breaded and fried veal cutlet. Its not a hot dog. In German, the word 'Wiener' means 'from Wien'; Wein being the German name for the city of Vienna.

[@pixelstopearls]

It took me until halfway through the video to realize that the dad guest starred on 7th Heaven, and his brother was a series regular. So glad my brain had that important piece of information stored away. 🤣 The redhead is also a regular Hallmark (or Lifetime?) movie actress. Watching those is a bit of a guilty pleasure as well. The plot/script is so predictable, but it's fun to see actors you may not have seen in a while and honestly not to have to put a lot of effort into following what's happening. There's something comforting about them when everything else in the world is crazy.
