"Germans don't have a sense of humour - the Germans have Loriot"

and I had no idea he made an English version of some of his stuff :shocked:

watch here

that's the only one I found on the whole wide internets...

it seems like a trailer to me, or at least only a part of a whole show, since most sketches here aren't complete...

lemme know if you like this kind of humour :grin:

I love his stuff! I don't really know the stuff he did on TV, but we've got two or three of his books :grin: Actually, so hab ich Deutsch gelernt... by reading books like that ;)

Das ist mein Mann. Das ist meine Hose.

:laughing: :thumbsup:

I can imagine it actually being used to learn German, especially since the situations are often directly taken from real life:

After Work

I did a quick [spoilerq:1]translation[/spoilerq] of the transcript :)

[spoilera:1]

She: Hermann...

He: Yes...

She: What are you doing there?

He: Nothing

She: Nothing? Why nothing?

He: I'm doing nothing

She: Nothing at all?

He: No...

(Pause)

She: Really nothing?

He: No... I'm sitting here...

She: You're sitting there?

He: Yes...

She: But you must be doing something

He: No...

(Pause)

She: Are you thinking anything?

He: Nothing special...

She: It couldn't hurt if you went for a walk for once...

He: no no...

She: I'll get your coat

He: No thanks...

She: But it's too cold without a coat...

He: But I'm not going for a walk...

She: But just now you wanted to!

He: No, You wanted me to go for a walk...

She: Me? I don't care whether you're going for a walk or not...

He: Good...

She: I was just saying that it wouldn't hurt if you went for a walk...

He: No, hurt it wouldn't

She: What do you want now?

He: I want to sit here...

She: You can make me so mad sometimes

He: Oh...

She: First you want to go for a walk... then you don't... then I should go get your coat... then I don't... now what do you want?

He: I want to sit here...

She: And now you suddenly want to sit there...

He: Not suddenly... I always wanted to sit here

She: Sit?

He: I want to sit here and relax...

She: If you really wanted to relax you wouldn't talk at me the whole time...

He: I'll keep quiet...

(Pause)

She: Now you finally would have the time to do something you enjoy...

He: Yes...

(Pause)

She: Are you reading anything?

He: Not in the moment...

She: Then why don't you read something?

He: Later... Later maybe

She: Why don't you get the magazines?

He: First I want to sit here for a bit...

She: Should I get them for you?

He: No... No, thanks

She: So now Mister wants to be served, huh?

The whole day I'm running here and there, you really could stand up yourself to get your magazines...

He: I don't want to read right now...

She: First you want to read... then you don't...

He: I just want to sit here...

She: well, You can do what you want...

He: But I am!

She: Then stop grouching all the time

He: (keeps silent)

She: Hermann!

He: (keeps silent)

She: Are you deaf?

He: no no...

She: you are Not doing what you enjoy... instead you're just sitting there...

He: I'm sitting here because I enjoy it

She: No need to become so aggressive

He: but I'm not aggressive

She: So why are you shouting at me like that?

He: I'M NOT SHOUTING AT YOU!

:grin:
