Im sorry for your loss I must admit I find it very irresponsible of the

When I was in Germany I heard two people telling a joke, laughing hard, and I asked them to translate. One was a friend who would not troll me. She said the joke was "2 bums are sitting in a park, drinking cheap wine. It begins to snow. One bum says 'I wish each snowflake was a deutschmark'." THAT WAS THE JOKE. Something got lost in translation.

Well, a deutschmark was once the official currency of Germany. And the bums are both drinking wine, so maybe the implication is that they'd wish for the snow to become money, just so they could blow it all on booze? Thus, the punchline would be how short-sided and stupid they are. As someone who's never been to Germany, this is the best I can come up with.

The reason why I did that is because it literally had google translate on it and it showed a actual translation

I also love how the "joke" being written on the page at 4:09 is actually a description of the "Multiple Seduced Milkmen" sketch's closing scene XD

No! The Joke was written by Ernest Scribbler. He died after writing it. The Army had it translated into German so that the Allied Troops couldn't understand it but the Germans could!

Just hearing "Flipperwaldt" was enough to cause me to laugh hard enough to cause moderately severe pain, and I don't even know what it means.

I seem to remember that in the actual bit, it takes the Germans like ten seconds or so to actually understand the joke, so the translation is definitely weak in-universe.

Now that you mention that.

3:50 Well, the past participle is technically ‘gesprungen’ because ‘springen’ is a strong verb; however, *‘gespringt’ is probly what it would be if it were a weak verb though.

As an afrikaans speaking person where alot of german words we are able to understand, the joke is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣*dies*

I like how Google is trying to protect us by refusing to translate the joke. It would indeed be a fatal error.

1:55 you should have stopped there and spent the rest of the video laughing

Thank you for translating the joke. I have been wondering what it was for a few years, and only remembered recently from a friend.

This is why Batman has SAD PILLS to neutralize the laughing

Flipperwaldt could translate to pinball forest, which could say that the Bavarian woods are like a pinball machine and maybe the hungry Bavarians seems to come out of the woods like a pinball from a pinball machine. Nunstruck could work as "noon breakfast" as in they're eating breakfast at noon (late breakfast).

I somehow survived when you translated it to English. I think I might have a super power.

I can't remember the year, but when I first saw this skit, what really made me laugh the most was the film clip of Chamberlain back from Munich. Sometime in the mid 70s, I guess. And down through the years, I've thought about this skit.

Good work! Here are my 50cents "Gespringt" does not exist, the right form would be "gesprungen". Gersput might contain "sput" from "sich sputen" (to hurry), which goes well with the perception of germans as yelling at everybody to, well, hurry up. The river Oder would come with "die" instead of "der" since she is female - the Rhine for example is Male. Don't ask why :) I hear a simple "oder" and in english that just means "or". Cheers!!!

Does the Bavarian dog Slotermeyer eat his breakfast at noon? Yes, he jumps over the fence towards the Oder like he was ejected out of the pinball-forest!

Excuse my dirty mind but I for years, I thought the intended translation of the German version is supposed to be euphemism for a certain person named Slotermeyer doing something... kooky in a forest. But I dont know any better. Thank you for enlightening my dirty mind. ^^

3:50 'gersput' sound more like 'gespuckt' which mean 'spitted'

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Flipper means pinball in German. Flipperwaldt refers to the design of a Waldflipper, a forest themed pinball machine. Das Oder is a boolean operator. It's funny because it has a funny truth table.

1:54 As a minor nitpick, "wenn" can mean both "when" and "if". Also, when you use "when" that refers to the past a different word "als" is used. So "wenn" is only used for the kind of "when" that doesn't refer to the past (e.g. recurring actions) or as "if".

nice vid

For flipperforest, most animals that have flippers live in the ocean, and the ocean is like a forest because it has loads of plants and animals, so it could mean an ocean full of flippers, of whatever animals have flippers?

0:50 I played this bit at a hospital in Vienna, all the patients, staff, and visitors fell to the ground and are not moving or breathing at all,

This is from the very First Monty Python's Flying Circus!!! "HAHAHA!! HOOO! des beyerhund? Die Flipperwaldt Gerschpudt!! HAHAGA! WOOOO-HAHAHA! HAAAA!! ULG! GAAK! AAUUGHK! croak!😆

This hilarious🤣😂🙏thank you. I am German, but used to live in England... But still.. This joke does not make any sense at all. That is more or less just Monty Python🤣love them bits 👋😘

u can translate it its When is the nun piece git and slotermeyer? * Yes! Beiherhund that or the flipperwaldt gersput

taking that the skit "takes place" during late ww1 an ww2 (idk shut up) the language THEN and NOW are VERY different, so in that fictional universe the joke exists in- it would have made much more sense THEN then it does NOW... also- by attempting to translate and or decipher the world's most deadliest joke- thank you for your hand in killing off half the worlds population lol

You have done the impossible, now no one is safe

This explanation is f*ckin' brilliant!

Can we have a russian version of this joke? I wanna march to Moskow and read it aloud to Vladolf Putler!

2 years have passed and ive only just learned of this...

I've been looking for the 2 episode Fliegender Zirkus but , can't find it anywhere.

You fool what have you done you've unleashed a lethal joke upon us😂

I was a little afraid that you were able to accurately translate the joke. I have a heart condition.

Notice in the movie's the stuff on the guy's plate are breakfast items.

you need more subs

Hello. This is the brother of the person who owns this youtube user account. Due to watching this translation, he laughed to death after learning the true translation. Youll be hearing from my lawyer

I stoped at 0:50 as I do appreciate my life.

Nunstück is closer to Mundstück (mouth piece). I never had Frühstück in my mind. 🤣🤣🤣

The jokdbis jibberish as to protect the peoppe watching the documentary about the joke

I have a neighbours cat who's name is... Yes, Monty. He looked at me as if I were dying while laughing, then went on to eat his dinner. Cool cat😂👋🐱

I think you're reading too much into the sketch. Just the idea that a joke could be used as a weapon of war, and that one person knowing two words of it could require a hospital stay was enough to get me laughing.

The real Joke is Humanity.

💀

I think that the only reason we're all alive after this video is because you got the translation wrong.

Flipper sounds like Viper meaning viper so flipperwaldt means viper Forrest

What a good joke i think i'm gonna faintjhujhnmbku

More research must be done for reasons of national security

Flipper is German slang for pinball. So forest of pinball.

Same thing as the down beat for Def Leppard's Rock of Ages; unter glieben glauben globen. It's just jibberish. I mean, the words have meaning. But together, they mean nothing.

Hi c:

Das oder die... means this "or" the The meaning here is not "the order"

The killer joke was translated by stockbrokers, the most boring people in the world and thus the ones with the highest chances of survival if exposed to more than one word.

Gespringt?!

:D

Flipper is the german word for pinball machine btw.

A valiant effort. Given that Monty Python's "German" in this case is totally mangled gibberish, it's vain, but valiant.

„Gespringt“ is not a word, it‘s „gesprungen“.

There's a major flaw with this interpretation: The English version of the joke is deadly to Britons, who would have no reason to be familiar with Bavarian culture.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA >

Sid Caesar used to speak foreign languages in complete gibberish, but because of his mastery of language, the audience automatically recognizes it as said language. For example, see the German General gets dressed. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6FqpdygnJTHk7g.html. Oh, and see The King in Yellow.

I thought Oder ment Or.

Git is also and English slur

Wow. This dry explanation about the deadliest joke just killed me... 🙄 As a celebrated Pythonologist, I regret to inform you that the Pythons' "Bavarian Experience" happened AFTER the creation of the Deadliest Joke, so it is a case of the former influencing the latter. Or, In German, "Die feurmer ist gonbumfling die leitzer". 😉 For more info about Monty Python in Germany, search for: World's Best Oneliner

Im afraid to see this video.

Im commenting this, cuase my gf cant

Honestly, that translation doesn't sit right with me. Firstofall, it is plenty obvious that the person who made this is not a native german speaker, seeing how any native would have noticed that "gespringt" is grammatically wrong. It would be "gesprungen". Not only that, to me as a native speaker, the word "gersput" is more like "gesputet", with the word "sputen" meaning something like "Hurrying up". Also, what makes no sense to me here is why the word "Beiherhund" would be a misspelling of the word "Bayernhund", seeing how the translators would have been working off of a written version.

Doesn't "git" mean something in English? ??
