This is by far the best show in German public TV. Pure truth disguised as comedy.

​​​@@JohnDoe-xz1mwYou can follow the Bundestag live - it's also a comedy 😅 it has fixed streaming times - it's just about making the other person as low as possible so that theyself are the smallest pile of SH... In the palace 😅🤦🏻‍♀️ It's just sad that this represents bitter reality... But if you watch this, you'll understand why we absolutely need satire about our politics 🤣 If we couldn’t laugh about it, we would have to despair

I love how they entertain and teach actual history at the same time.

Our humor is often linked to the tragedy of honest truth.

Fun fact: the man wearing the stars-and-stripes top hat is a lawyer himself ...

The "office shredder" part is especially "funny" for germans, because whenever you got high crime here from political parties, police officers, secret agents and alike, all the documents about it tend to be gone or are unreadable.

Especially if those Politicians or Police Officers were active on the Right side of the political spectrum.

If you want to see the top-level of german satire, I recommend Volker Pispers explains the USA (english subtitles available). Many reaction youtuber split it into parts, because it goes 45 minutes, but it is really good.

The translation is crap though and does a bad job of explaining the German politicians to an audience that have never heard of them or can't know who they are and what they stand for at the drop of a hat. Yes, I know it's easy to criticize. Facts are the facts though. And Pispers relies on his audience being knowledgeable about national and international politics from quite a few years ago..

You should watch "Volker Pispers" he is on a next level.

Was. He had the dream to change rhings with his work, he felt he failed and stopped.

Well, there is German satire in a „politisches Kabarett“-Tradition that began to some degree even before the First World War, and that humor indeed has a certain intellectual / academic level. I would count „heute show“ and „Die Anstalt“ among the current examples of this tradition. However, there is also rather basic humor, more along the lines of farcical comedy, and that can be daft, and targeting a more… „inebriated“… audience. (I can’t really give you examples for this, because I find that sort of humor rather off-putting.)

Also the germans got a lot of humor that is based on the ambiguity of a lot of german words, which is not translateable into other languages, since they use two different words, where the germans have one word for both.

You ought to watch _Volker Pispers' History of the US and terrorism..._

For me as a german, I can understand the video. But could non-german viewers understand this as you cutted off the english translation shown at the bottom? I don't think so. It would be better if you could add the subtitles in your video, too. But generallythis one was great!

There is a longer version of the same topic by Volker Pispers. The history of USA and terrorism.

nice to see you guys having fun with Die Anstalt. Little remark to the pronunciation: the german 'die' sounds like the american Dee (as abreviation for Deborah). You will also find the double e (ee) in english in reef. So the german ie sounds like the ee in english (eel, feel, reef). The german vocal i alone is the same but shorter, not so stretched. :)

You need to watch "Die Anstalt - ich bin der kleine Junge"

every reactor will get a like by watching this vid. knowledge is power.

face it, we germans have the best sense of humor! ;>

DIE Anstalt? Pronounce DEE Anstalt. Not dying 😂

Germans have a great sense of humor, but our current stand-up comedians are sooo bad. The US and UK comedians are way way better IMO. like -Louis C.K. -Bill Burr -Dave Chappelle -Rowan Atkinson -John Cleese -Jimmy Carr -Ricky Gervais are some of my favorites.

Why do you pronounce the German article "die" so incorrectly? It has nothing to do with to die. The ie is a long i. English has a very similar i pronunciation when the article the is followed by a vowel. Like in The institution. Or do you say: die Institution?
