The "cleaning woman" Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer was Merkel's successor as leader of the CDU. She had been Minister-President (aka Prime Minister) of the very small federal state of Saarland before, and she was thought to be the next chancellor candidate of the CDU to succeed Merkel, but she already resigned after only one year as the head of the party. The "cleaning woman" was her custome for a political carnival show, which became infamous because she made jokes about transgender toilets and people wanting to have another gender on stage in that custome.

I really like how you take German satire and German humor. Usually, Germans have a reputation of being quite humorless and stiff among many people from other countries. Spoiler: this is not true ;) Anyway, the "heute-show" is a gem of a political satire. The host and all the other comedians who appear on the show are, in my opinion, the best in our country. I, as a German, am really pleased that this show and the satire in it, which fluctuates between subtle and brutal, is also well received outside Germany.

The whole "German Aircraft Carrier"-thing just came at the perfect moment. The German Navy owns an old traditional sailing ship, the Gorch Fock, and it had to get maintainance - what became a total mess... in the end it took them 6 years, cost millions of tax money and was just another embaressment for the german Army and Ministry of Defense. And while this was happening, the Secretary of Defence talked about the great idea to build a CV meanwhile they cant repair a 100y old sailing ship. (and yes I know, the real issue was the bureaucracy bs and some corruption, not the missing skills or knowledge - but still, pure Comedy)

[@celticwinter]

I'd assume you've never seen work on wooden hulls or masts in a shipyard, because it's not like replacing a wooden board in your table. It might also have played a role, that A LOT of shipyard time frames in the navy were pushed into the unknown future for decades, because too little money was allocated. Yet the ships and boats were expected to deliver very high service hours. It doesn't take a genius to realize that this might be bad. It should also have been pointed out in ARD media, because they themselves are not exactly suffering from too little money. Now, why would you think there was this oversight in reporting for decades?

Greetings from Germany 🤗 Very enjoyed your video and how you percieve our Heute Show! It would be very difficult to explain to foreigners how Heute Show works, but you're doing so good in understanding and explaining it! It's really a pity that the puns they made in this episode (where they translated German sayings into English) are hard to understand by foreigners - you guys would love it 😂 And just in case some viewers need to hear it: We like British people very much, you are welcome here and we hope that we are still welcome in your country ☺️ We just brag about the Brexit itself, because it's honestly very chaotic and - in my opinion - a little bit unneccessary, so we want it to be over (but it's taking so long, thanks to British and EU politics). Germans express feelings like these by a kind of "humoristic/satiric shittalking" against everybody who is involved, but in reality we don't mean it that way 🤗 (Well, some of the Germans sadly do, and they say that very loudly, which makes it look like many people don't like you, but in Germany we say "Nicht geschimpft ist genug gelobt" which means "Not being criticized is enough appraisal" - so, since the vast majority of Germans don't criticize you, they like you very much 😂)

Your way via german comedians or political entertainment by comedians may be a clever move because they do also explain us germans sometimes, what we may not see, deny or refuse to see in general or in particular contexts. The view from an external position often depicts flaws you'll never see when inside the mass. The comedian from his position is also extern somehow. You have asked for different and more performers to learn more about german minds: If you want to get deeper in this categories of german humour, reflexions and "education via comedy", you should not miss the famous Vicco von Bülow aka "Loriot" and his views around. An oldschool comedian without the very comedyish attempt, more an academic attempt in different styles: dialogues, role plays/scenes, monologues and cartoons. His program has been famous and much-loved from the late 1970ies until 1990ies. Clearly and slowly spoken and always presented with a sympathic touch of diabolic smile in his face.

I think some of the jokes were so harsh because they were fueled by bitterness. Deep down even when Germans and other Europeans said they were just fed up with brexit taking so long and Britain should just get it over with everyone (at least the ones who support the EU) still wished they'd somehow change their minds about the whole thing. It was quite painful to watch a powerful trading partner and "cultural ally" leave, especially during times in which only a unified Europe can hope to still be seen as a global player. There have been multiple forces, many of which supported by foreign powers, who only want to cause friction among Europes nations to ultimately "divide and conquer" and it was worrying to see their tactics work.

Industry and trademanagement in the EU may be bitter, population not so much ;) All people I know just said "Why don't they leave already and stop whining?". What would a single person in the EU would've gained, if the British stayed in? We just felt sorry for the nearly 50% that would've wanted to stay. Everyone in the EU knew, that Britain didn't pull they weight in the EU. They mainly took. That's not how it works. That's why the owned a huge amount of money to the EU. (Oh well, we were sorry, Scotland left)

Its very sad for British young people and No-Brexit Voters that BRexit happened. However it fills me with very much Schadenfreude to watch British Pensioneers that voted Pro-Brexit be all baffled by the fact, that they now need Visas to enjoy their Retirement Houses in Spain. Thats just one of those "leopards ate their face" moments i really enjoy.

The segment towards the end was btw. also a parodie of the way english was taught for way too long in German schools. Complete with tapes where you could listen to those awkward texts. Also very similiar to the lessons on the "telecollege" (since TV is supposed to be educational, they acutally tried to do lessons over it).

0:41 About your question wether that is how we imagine Brits to be: No, not really. They chose that specific image, because it is a visualization to a play of words, that they didn’t even try to translate. „Hängebrittten“ is half way brits, half way breasts that gave in to age and gravity. Because it’s at the same time a comment on the Brits not making up their mind, it fits what he wanted to say, while being a play of words. 😅

I‘m from Germany and I can‘t believe you don‘t have a handling like this with the Brexit in TV Shows. I‘m watching the Heute Show for more than a decade now and feel really enthusiastic about you liking and appreciate it. You‘ll surely find more episodes whitch interest you. For example Scholz, the CDU or the german minister of transport. I‘m also recommend Till Reiners in „Till to Go“ about the church and the „german way“ with the church like Kirchensteuer.

What you probably don't get: he came from "Hängepartie" (cliff hanger) to "Hängebritten", which in German triggers your mind to "Hängetitten" (saggy tits). So he basically called you guys the latter, but without saying so.

9:38 It's a pun. Of course people from the Saarland (one of germanies 16 federal states) are called "Saarländer".

[@yoshikoizumi7851]

small sidenote for 4:16 he says "Billionen" while the subtitles say "trillions" this is NOT a mistake, since in german we have Milliones->Milliarden->Billionen->Billiarden and so on while the english language just has millions->billions->trillions->quadrillions and so on I don't actually know where that comes from (never taught in school and never really cared enough to Google) but it's a weird little source of potential misunderstanding related to very big numbers specifically

[@timmatthies5456]

I really enjoy your content and how you have commented or direct satire I can really recommend you another amazingly German Satire named “extra 3” and would like to see you reacting to it. Extra3 and the Heute Show are both capable of turning Weltschmerz into Schadenfreude. 😊

Oliver Welke and Martina Hill (she did the English lesson) are legends in German comedy shows. Love this sense of humour and the sarcasm and criticism behind almost every single statement...

[@karowolkenschaufler7659]

I just realise how different perception can be. I'm german. I am a sucker for our comedy and satire... and being used to it the "Heute Show" is really mainstream and ... soft. rather simplified in contrast to "Die Anstalt" and tame compared to the solo programms of some political satirists. but I really apreciate it because it's a weekly show. it's a nice thing to watch on a friday evenening. and I'm surprised that the UK doesn't seem to have anything like it.

No, we dont think Brits look like the guy at the beginning, its just a parody. Germans dont run around with Picklehaube helmets either, but are often depicted like that in sensationalist British newspapers. A stereotypical Brit would be someone with either pale skin oder a bright red sunburn ;). Actually if i had to picture typical Brits, i think of Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese, i guess they formed my expectations.

At the beginning, when he called you "indecisive brits" he said "Hänge-Briten", which is an innuendo to "Hänge-Titten", meaning "sagging tits". That's why that image of a brit they used, is one of an overweight man with said sagging bits. (I used hyphens in the german words to show the parts of the composite nouns.)

[@Matty0311MMS]

Also, the subtitles didn't translate the last bit from the Italian woman, the "ciao stronzi!". It means "Bye, assholes!"

Also, also: The german TV station ZDF is one of the stations funded by Germanys mandatory TV tax. The regular news show of the ZDF is called "heute" (meaning "today"), and airs daily at 7 p.m. The "heute show" airs weekly, fridays at 10:30 p.m.
