- Reaction To Loriot - Das Bild hängt schief (German Comedy)
This is my reaction to Loriot - Das Bild hängt schief (The picture is crooked)
In this video I react to German comedy from legendary German comedian, humorist, animator and actor Loriot and his comedy sketch - The picture is crooked.
Original Video - • Das Bild hängt schied ...
Verschlimmbessern
genau
Yes, that's a real cool German word.
Was er mit den Händen aufbaut, reißt er mit dem Arsch wieder ein. (Metapher, wenn wir über unsere IT sprechen)
Yes. In English it means "Making something worse because of wanting to make it better".
Disimprove
Loriot is a beacon in Germany still, the Mount Everest of German comedy, even years after his passing. Nobody came close, nobody ever really tried to even copy him. He was the first to create an individual aesthetic of humor in Germany, a style for which he was known and recognized. He is dearly missed. I don't say there aren't good comedians in Germany today, but there is definitely no Loriot. Not even close.
Can't fully agree. Especially amongst the younger generations less and less people know him. The greatest of his time, still adored by people who know him, but slowly becoming a relict of an era that has passed. I'd much rather compare him with Monty python.
He was not the first, though. Heinz Erhardt would be the most unique German comedian of the 50s and 60s, I think
This scetch was taken from Monty Phyton though.
Und Er wurde in Meiner Stadt geboren😊
All of this!! ❤
This sketch is the reason why I never touch anything in other people‘s place: Always having in mind that it could get worse 😂
"why did you do this, I liked it how it was!"
People say Loriot was a Perfectionist and everything in his films is detailed choreograghy.
If you watch closely, there are quite some continuity errors. The spacing of the pictures changes and there appears a mat out of nowhere. Surprising for an œuvre by Loriot, who was known as a perfectionist. I guess the number of takes was limited.
Das Bild hängt schief. His last words😅😅😅
His only words...
Loriot is a german all time super star.
Sad that he's gone.
We love him.
Loriot... His comedy about the "stereotypic german behaviour" was always precisely ON POINT! 🤣🤣 Timeless!
He's the grand master of German humour, and he understood the German soul (if there is such a thing) like no one else.
What might be worth mentioning is that the character he plays, is a represenative of an insurance company who comes to offer the owners of the house an insurance
Don't forget: This was made in the 1970ies! Loriot was ahead of the times!
The face expression whilst fixing the dishes😂
To me, the best thing about this is not the slapstick part but his very last sentence: “Das Bild hängt schief!” (the picture is crooked) 😂 Cracks me up everytime.
You cannot overestimate Vicco von Bülow's (Loriot) influence on German discourse. He was able to take the small oddities of everyday culture and transform and amplify them into sublime absurdities. E.g. in post-war Western Germany it was very common to put an exotic spin on mundane item (like adding pineapple to Ham and Chees Toast and calling it Hawaiian Toast), as an expression of longing for a better life. Everybody still remebers his satirical take on this trend, Kalbshaxe Florida (veal shank Florida).
Kalbshaxe "Florida"... lol "Ins Essen gequatscht..." und "Lassen sie doch mal das Kind nach vorne..."
As a german to me the most funny thing about loriots stuff is not only the situation itself the characters are in, but especially THE TYPE of character that he brings to these situations.
When you look at Mr. Bean: he is known to be clumsy all the time and you kinda expect his behaviour from him when you see him (I still LOVE Mr Bean and always will btw, Rowan Atikonson is a GENIUS, I still laugh every time after at least 20 million times watching it xD).
In this sketch however Loriot portrays this "super conservative always right failure is NOT an option" type of guy. You immediately know that this man just DOES NOT tolerate mistakes AT ALL. And he just portrays this type of character PERFECTLY. This super correct, dry, fun is not allowed guy. For a man like that, this is just the worst situation to be in, he must be SO embarrassed and stressed to be caught in such a situation xD
This is what my Hot air balloon captain always used to say: "Die Steigerung von böswillig ist gut meinen" (The enhancement of malicious is well meaning) 😆 And that fits on so many layers of that saying
I saw this when it was on German TV way back then. His laconic bottom line “the picture hangs crooked” threw me off the sofa. 😂👍
There are so many great Loriot sketches I could recommend. Whether it is "Die Nudel", Jodel-Diplom", "Kosakenzipfel" or "Monster Interview", they are all very funny imho.
Am schönsten beim " Kosakenzipfel " war das Schimpfwort " Winselstute ". MfG
This is one of the best scenes by Loriot. And he had to get it right the first time, there couldn't be a 2nd try.
"Verschlimmbesserung" at it's best😂😂
Sometimes i wish to can look back in time to see the making of this legendary Sketch. How could the Camera Team not roll over the floor, laughing to the egde of Death?! Loriot was a Comedy Titan.
1:07 It's not made entirely clear where this is set exactly. When she leaves, she tells him "I'll let the 'Herrschaften' know you're here", 'Herrschaften' could be Sir and Madam, as well as a board of a company or something. In the end, after he wrecked chaos, she comes back to tell him "Madam will see you in a moment" (to which he answers "Das Bild hängt schief/The picture is crooked"), so my guess is that it's the house of some upper class family. Plus, she's in a housemaid's uniform.
(Btw. "schief" is pronounced kind of like "sheef".)
There is a word in German for this situation: verschlimmbessern. Going in with the intent of fixing something, but make it worse. verschlimmern (make it worse) + verbessern (make it better) = verschlimmbessern.
You totally get him. Not only were his animations, voice acting, and almost wordless sketches brilliant . his puns and plays on language are also some of the finest to be found in Germany (on par with another great 20th c. comedian: Heinz Erhardt)…
Loriot - Simply the best
He is really a German legend. To this day he is held in the highest esteem.
He observed and portrait a certain part of the "German Soul" like it was especially from the 60s to the 80s so brilliantly like no one before or after him. And deep inside of us, one can still find some of it.
loriots art is a masterpiece - you have to watch his movies. theres something so loveable in his art because hes the guy that could harm no fly but always steps into weird situations.
What's strangest about Loriot: he comes from a Prussian family, also (lower) nobility, which you can tell from his last name. He was also a participant in WW2. You would actually expect such a person to have an extremely conservative worldview. But Loriot does a lot of social satire, especially against the upper levels of the social hierarchy.
Nah Prussian people tended to be very outspoken especially to authority. You may have heard about the prussian Generalstaff in connection to Hitler, where screaming matches between the generals and Hitler were very common about any disagreement of military plans. Some Prussians outright insulted Hitler to his face with no repurcussions. Heinz Guderian famous for his push in the Ardennes which led to the quick defeat of France, screamed at and insulted Hitler so much that the bystanders separated the two men. Nevertheless they were still loyal, it was just that it was expected to speak your mind in order to be loyal and effective. You will be hardpressed to find a single bootlicker-prussian general... This is what the Prussian Virtues were about : Honesty, Diligence, Sincerity, Sense of Order, Sense of Duty, Straightforwardness, Reliability, Modesty, Punctuality, Willingless to make Sacrifices, Probity ( yeah, Redlichkeit was a Prussian virtue ) and a few others. Various prussian virtues became german virtues ( due to Prussia`s dominance within Germany ), while others were lost.
Prussia was also the most democratic state in Germany aswell as the most socialdemocratic one. Berlin the heart of Prussia was denounced as a red city due to the dominance of the Socialdemocrats. During the Weimar Republic it opposed the Far-right and far-left for the longest, until in 1932 the German Chancellor Franz von Papen ( not a Prussian btw ) overthrew the Prussian state and established a dictatorship ( Preußenschlag ), this allowed the Nazis to quickly takeover power after they gained electoral victories in 1933. Prussia was the heart of the Three Arrow movement and the Iron Front, the Socialdemocrats who opposed Nazism, Communism and Monarchism ( each arrow representing resistance towards one of these ideologies ) aswell as the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold, another socialdemocratic but also christian democratic organization against any domestic extremism ( especially Nazism and Communism ). Prussia was the bulwark of democracy and was called exactly that during the final years of the Weimar Republic.
It were Prussians like Otto Braun ( Minister-President of Prussia between 1925-1932 ) that defended Germany against extremism for as long as possible. And it was Prussians like Otto Wels ( Chairman of the Socialdemocratic Party between 1912-1939 ) who not only established a true democratic Republic in Germany but also defended it for as long as possible. It also shouldn`t come as a surprise that both the Communists and the Nazis hated Prussia during the Weimar era because it was the bulwark of German democracy. When Bavaria became a dictatorship between 1923-1924 it was again Prussia which brought it back to a democracy.
The concept that Prussian people were all obedient, loyal soldiers who submit to authority is absolutely not true and a French/British stereotype that was sadly imported into Germany.
So it really should not be strange at all, but to be expected. Loriot was a normal Prussian, not an outlier. The days were Prussia was a militaristic-monarchist place were the days of Bismarck and pre-Bismarck, but since the 1890s Prussia turned very much into a committed democratic state which was dominated by the SPD and Zentrum party, 2 big pro-democracy parties ( much to the displeasure of the conservative-monarchist elite and the royal family ).
@@Taldram The fact that Prussia was the most social democratic is a misleading statement. In the Empire and during the Weimar Republic, almost everything north of the Main was Prussia. The Free State of Prussia accounts for around 60% of the German population. Prussia also included the huge industrial areas in the Ruhr area, which provided the majority of left-wing voters. One of the Prussian virtues is certainly not being a social democrat but being a monarchist. As early as 1921, there was no longer a majority in the left-liberal spectrum (USPD, SPD, DDP) in the Prussian parliament. The election results are close to the results of the Reichstag elections. The NSDAP election results from the end of the 1920s in the Prussian state parliament are virtually the same as those in the Reichstag. In any case, the “bulwark of democracy” cannot be seen from the election results. Against this background, one can easily see how right-wing the rest of Prussia was, given that the left-wing votes came from the concentrated Ruhr area. The fact that some high-ranking Social Democrats came from Prussia was purely statistically to be expected given the huge share of Prussia's population in Germany.
Bavaria was never a dictatorship during the Weimar Republic. What kind of BS are you talking about. In 1923 Hitler attempted a coup, but it failed. The coup d'etat did not extend beyond the Munich city limits. Prussia also had nothing to do with the suppression of the coup. That was the Bavarian state police all alone. However, a well-known Prussian took part in the putsch: General Ludendorff on Hitler's side.
Prussia was the seed of the First World War and also the Second World War (and also the war of 1870/71). There's nothing to sugarcoat there.
The southern German states of course were always very conservative but never outwardly (!) aggressive. Perhaps, exactly because Prussia's monarchs being more liberal led to the fact that its population could become more nationalistic than in the south.
@@santaclaus0815 Well your comment is a bit inaccurate.
It is true that Prussia was a very large state but Prussia ( 62% of territory, 61% of population ), however you are completely wrong that it was the Ruhr valley which provided most left-wing voters. The Ruhr valley, along with the entirety of the Rhineland province was dominated the Catholic Center party. At no election during the entirety of the Weimar Republic did the SPD ever gain more votes than the Zentrum party in Rhenish-Germany... I invite you to look at electoral maps :
1930 : Rhineland-Westphalia is black ( Center ), southern Germany ( but not northern Bavaria ) is black aswell... Everything else is Red, with the exception of East Prussia brown ( Nazi ) and Pomerania ( DNVP ~ Far-right nationalist ). You will find similar maps with the 1928 election, but not 1924 where the DNVP was more popular in eastern Germany. The Left-wing voters were never dominant or numerous in the Rhineland province. That was fiercly under the control of the Christiandemocratic, Conservative, Catholic Center party.
Also I never mentioned that Prussian virtues is about Socialdemocracy or Monarchism. My point about the Prussian virtues were something else, i.e. that this attitude that you can speak to power existed since the days of the Soldier-King ( father of Frederick the Great ) who invented the Prussian virtues, he was in particular keen that Prussian generals had freedom of speech so that censorship or otherwise social status would NEVER impede on military plans or otherwise lower effectiveness. That became part of Prussian culture and thus people like Guderian or Loriot exist.
Again you seem keen to think most left-wing voters came form the Ruhr valley, but this is clearly not true.
The highranking people were born in military or traditional prussian families and in the core-prussian provinces, i.e. ( Königsberg, Berlin ), they were as Prussian as you could get. Adenauer was very much a Rhenish guy, not a Prussian, despite technically being born in the state of Prussia, but naturally the legal and cultural sphere of Prussia is VASTLY different....... No Rhenish person ever considered themselves Prussian just became the Rhineland was technically part of Prussia.
The "bullshit" I am talking about is basic history.... That you don`t know about this and so fiercly deny it shows you simply don`t know much about history. Gustav Ritter von Kahr had dictatorial powers as State Comissioner of Bavaria from 1923-1924, I advise you to read up on him. Together with the Minister-President of Bavaria, Eugen von Knilling, aswell as the Commander of the Bavarian Police Hans von Seisser and the General Otto von Lossow they were establishing the Bavarian dictatorship, the law of the Protection of the Republic was already defunct and officially abolished in Bavaria.. They invited tens of thousands of far-right agitators into Bavaria to gather strength. They had complete control over the Bavarian court and were planning to overthrow the Weimar Republic ---> Hitler and his ilk were one of the far-right people they gathered, Hitler however wanted to use von Kahr`s own coup plans against him and planned to overthrow Bavaria and then use their own plans to overthrow Germany, in what is called the Beer Hall Putsch. It failed, Hitler was imprisoned and the same far-right court that the Bavarian dictatorship established decided that Hitler was acting with good intentions, thus he got a very comfortable sentence.
It is interresting you know the Beer Hall Putsch but nothing else, not the circumstances, not that Hitler was one of the cronies of the Bavarian dictator, not the plan that Hitler literally tried to overthrow the Bavarian state first and use the Bavarian dictatorship plans for his own plans......
Ultimately read the wikipedia entry for Gustav Ritter von Kahr.
It should serve as introduction to the short-lived Bavarian Dictatorship of 1923-1924. Both the English and German wikipedia entry clearly state that he had dictatorial powers aswell as the conspiracy to overthrow the Weimar Republic. In German this era was called "Ordnungszelle", if you can read german look at this wiki entry aswell or just google translate it.
I assure you, no BS there......
@@Taldram Prussia was not a left-wing stronghold at all. In these federal states, the SPD consistently had better election results than in Prussia:
1. Braunschweig
2. Bremen
3. Hamburg
4. Hesse
5. Lip
6. Lübeck
7. Meckl.-Schwerin
8. Meckl.-Strelitz
9. Saxony
10. Schaumburg Lippe
Here are the SPD's top election results (Prussia is not among them):
Place - % - Year - Country
1:58.6 - 1919 - Coburg
2: 58.5 - 1919 - Saxe-Altenburg
3: 58.0 - 1918 - Anhalt
4: 54.1 - 1919 - Schaumburg-Lippe
5: 54.1 - 1919 - Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt
6: 52.5 - 1919 - Lübeck
7: 52.2 - 1919 - Saxe-Meiningen
8:50.5 - 1919 - Hamburg
9: 50.2 - 1918 - Mecklenburg-Strelitz
10: 50.1 - 1919 - Lippe
11: 49.2 - 1928 - Schaumburg-Lippe
12: 48.7 - 1921 - Lübeck
13:48.6 - 1919 - Mecklenburg-Strelitz
14: 47.9 - 1919 - Mecklenburg-Schwerin
15: 46.2 - 1927 - Braunschweig
"Again you seem keen to think most left-wing voters came form the Ruhr valley, but this is clearly not true."
>>> it's true, Westphalia and the Rhine Province were ruled by the DZP. The middle areas were dominated by the SPD and in old Prussia (eastern third) the population was far to the right:
Posen-West Prussia: DNVP
Upper Silesia: DZP
East Prussia: DNVP
Pomerania: DNVP
Loriot grew up in Berlin, in the older part of Prussia.
The election results therefore support my statement that Prussia (i.e. the old Prussia, what I mean is let's say within the borders of 1815-1865) was right-wing conservative, not social democratic.
Gustav Ritter von Kahr had extensive powers but was the one who put down Hitler's putsch, not Prussia. He was so “right-wing” that he died in a concentration camp. He came to power in protest against the termination of the Ruhr Battle. So you can debate whether this was a right-wing or left-wing motivation.
In response to Kahr, Reich President Friedrich Ebert declared a state of emergency throughout the Reich at the national level and transferred executive power to the Reichswehr Minister Otto Geßler. Both were not Prussians but came from southwest Germany.
Talking about a Bavarian dictatorship seems quite pointless, since Bavaria was not an independent state at the time but just a federal state. Yes, Bavaria had special rights, but it was not a sovereign country, for example with its own currency.
The picture hangs crooked (Das Bild hängt schief) is a saying that is still used in Germany today when something unexpected, chaotic happens one after the other, which causes more and more of it. At least among older people in Germany it is sometimes said - usually in connection with fun. (for example comment on failed videos).
Don't forget:
The sketch is from 1976 and was recorded in just one take!
So no AI or KI or something like that was used!
Greetings from northern germany ♥️ 🇩🇪
Loriot is iconic. Victor and Evelyn are dearly missed. I think every German knows a Loriot quote, whether they know it's Loriot or not. some of my favs:
"Mein Sohn ist 16. Er sitzt und spricht." ["my son is 16. he sits and speaks"]
"Früher war mehr Lametta!" ["back then we had more tinsel!"]
"also bei dem hier wurde mir ein bisschen blümerant..." [ ...erm... someone help me out here...]
and of course: "Krawehl, Krawhel!" [n/a]
Krawiel, krawiel, taub trüber ginst am Musenhain. Taub trüber Hain am Musenginst. Krawiel!
@@ftrueck Trüb tauber!
@@ftrueck Type this into any kind of AI-driven translator and Skynet goes sleepy bye-bye. 😂
Surprisingly chat gpt could translate somehow that sounds not even off too far: "Krawiel, krawiel, dull cloudy broom at the grove of muses. Dull cloudy grove at the muse broom. Krawiel!"
I don't know how often I watched Pappa ante Portas. I could basically dub it and the situational comic never gets old. I don't know about the English version but it is probably worth a try.
"Mein Name ist Lohse, ich kaufe hier ein!"
and
"Unser Arbeitsplan erfährt eine Änderung."
Are two of my favorite quotes from that...
One of his earliest sketches on TV is about the cramped conditions in an airliner. You have to eat your food with your elbows pressed against your body, everything ends up in a mess and in the end the passengers try to get their coats on and put their arms into the sleeves of the people standing nearby. And the animated cartoon about the elderly couple that get into an escalating row about his egg that got boiled too long and is hard now is epic. The conversation between the two of them is used in seminars to teach students about failing information and disturbed communication. "That egg is too hard." "Too many eggs are not good for your health, anyway." From that moment on it can only go wrong, wronger, wrongest. "I just want a soft-boiled egg, I do not mind how many minutes it gets boiled for that end." "So, you do not care about me toiling in the kitchen." ..."God, men are soo primitive." (in a soft whisper) "I will kill her, tomorrow I shall kill her."
The Music is from Mantovani, who was inspired by Ravels "Bolero"...
And the music ends when the maid opens the door - brilliant!
The choice of the "Bolero" makes much sence, as the disaster develops slowly, just as Ravel´s musical masterpiece! 🙂Definitly one of the best and most popular sketches Mr. Bülow ever did! He was a neightbour of a patient of mine and lived at Ammersee (Ammer lake), he could oftenbe seen playing with his dogs outside. He was an incredible Gentleman even off camera and his humour so subtle and intelligent.
Loriot shows the full spectrum of humor - here is a just small slapstick number you could compare with Mr. Bean.
But Loriot is much brighter - you MUST watch his movies and read his books.
We describe him as a "Tausendsassa".
He goes all around - he is uncomparable.
A real genius.
Love your channel…
I am German… and of course I know Loriot for decades.
He is from a really high aristocratic family… 'von Bühlow'… he is kind of a top aristocrat gone rogue… becoming an anarchist of some kind… the 'black sheep' of the family… only to become the most beloved German humorist… (where his forefathers used to be generals in the preussian army…)
… unfortunately (for you Brits) Loriot does a lot with language… his dialogs are very very precise… people are not talking like that… only in parody… he uses the language of the upper society… but in a very satiric way… and shows, how lower society tries to sound like upper class… making fools of themselves…
… watch 'Two men in a Bathtub' that's most hillarious…
Loriot understood like no other how to look into the depths of the German soul. He brought out things that make us squirm like a worm on a fish hook. And here he masterfully shows how a German fails because of his Germanness. However, I would have escaped through the open window into the garden... lol
The road to hell is paved with good intentions :D
It's really fun to watch you reacting to these Loriot-sketches, seeing them for the first time...these are so famous here in Germany :)
"Kommunikationsgestörte interessieren mich am allermeisten. Alles, was ich als komisch empfinde, entsteht aus der zerbröselten Kommunikation, aus dem Aneinander-vorbei-Reden.“ (Loriot)
"People with communication problems interest me the most. Everything that I find funny comes from broken communication, from talking past each other." (Loriot)
When he was 85 or something… Loriot had his final public apearance… he did a short speech about something…
… but when he tried to go to the microphone… something went wrong… and several of his helping hands tried to do something… some tumultuous moments…
… and he went up to the microphone and told the audience »… the posterboy is missing his glasses…«
He was brillant to his last moment…
Famous last words: "The picture is hanging crooked"
Loriot was a genius. I remember one time when we -- a group of Germans -- were sat in a lovely tea room in Poole, having tea and scones, and spent pretty much two whole hours just quoting from his sketches at each other. Fun times!
I saw him one time in a train sitting beside of me eating chocolate. That was crazy how he ate it. He took it out of his briefcase, opened it, took a tiny peace and folded the paper around the chocolate and put it back into the briefcase. The briefcase on his knees was always rightangled and also the chocolate. This took over half an hour to eat the complete chocolate. Piece by piece. And he always looked straight ahead. No eye contact to the surrounding people. I think it was a test for a joke. He was a genius.
the Naked Gun scene where Drebbin smashes all could be inspired by this....
Lee Evans played that skit, too, and did it justice.
aujf der rennbahn, ach ist der rasen schön grün, ich muss heut noch drüber lachen^^
That's why Loriot is a National Treasure. Want to fix a lavish room (by that time), just the crooked one. And then entropy at work. You never get old to watch this.
As always I started laughing the moment he stands up from his armchair to fix the picture.
I want to say : it must be fun for the owner of the apartment to enter the room ❤️
Best work: "Benimmschule"
Would be a test for a job interview...put the one who wants the job in a waiting room with a crooked picture and wait what happens....
Most (above 30 year old) Germans can extensively quote him. He was just brilliant at capturing humanity in humour.
And as always..germans got a word for it. "Verschlimmbessern"..break something even more while trying to fix it. Kind reminds me of the scene in Naked Gun 2 1/2
I also see this as a quip on just how "fragile" (or impractical or however one might call it) a lot of living spaces were and still are set up. Just think of for example all the videos of cats jumping on top of flat-screen TVs and crashing them, showing how utterly thoughtless or ignorant the owners are, whether about cat behaviour or physics or both... It's the same problem in principle with how this room is set up.
Every solution causes new problems.
It was never confirmed, but he was probably a salesman who wanted to sell them a household insurance... 😂
German comedy peaked with Loriot
One of his best. Without equal. (We adore Mr Bean, too).
Yes.The music was important ...It´s the Bolero by Ravel.Loriot loved classical music.He often used it ,to underline the fine and well educated character of his figures...while he let them fail in actual banal mundane and embarrasing situations...where they lost all their pride and noblesse.
So here I am looking at a Scotsman enjoying German comedy.
He's verschlimmbessering the scene ^^
It is a Master Peace of his work. A Symbol of he can Not so this, yes he can ... i Love it
No matter how many times I've seen this it's always hard to watch 🙉
He should've made one where he just rights the picture and sits down again and everything is fine. Just for our mind to be satisfied and at ease 😅
Regarding the music: I think that is part of "Bolero" by Maurice Ravel. Loriot was a huge music enthusiast and also had a profound knowledge of classical music and opera. He liked the work of Richard Wagner in particular. He once even wrote the text for the opera of a friend, and adapted several of them for various stage settings. He even was - that's no joke! - considered for the succession of Herbert von Karajan as conductor of the world-famous Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (which he conducted on one occassion).
Nope. It's not Maurice Ravel Bolero, it's composed by Mantovani. Mantovani lived 1905-1980, and the track is relatively new - it was composed about the time when the sketch was made. The track is called "Piccolo Bolero" (the small Bolereo) and Mantovani deliberately copied the style of Ravel's Bolero.Rumor has it that Loriot chose that track for the same reason Mantovani composed it: To play a "Bolero-styled" track, but avoid licensing problems.
To answer one of your first questions: The room is probably best described as a parlor, a reception room in villa of rich people.
Have you checked out his Eheberatung / Marriage Counseling?
I get Inspector Clouseau vibes... Peter Sellers was also a master in pysical Comedy...🤘👍🤓
Timeless masterpiece.
Loriot is a humorous genius with many sketches that have influenced generations in Germany. But this particular sketch was not Loriot's idea. He was inspired by the equally brilliant French humorist Jacques Tati in: “Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot”.
B.t.w. Jacques Tati was just as much of a perfectionist as Loriot.
Thats the meaning of "Verschlimmbessern"
Vicco von Bülow, a blossom from a prominent noble offspring. His great granduncle Bernhard von Bülow was Reichschancellor from 1909 to 1912 the last one before the ugly WW1 started with Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg..
People of certain intelligence
This is a good one, but Loriots best one will always be "Men in a bathtub".
loriot is a legend to germans. its a bit sad that todays broadcasting stations dont pay enough hommage to his artwork which kinda makes all his work kinda forgotten to the younger generations. i mean i am 39 and even i only knew loriot sketches from my parents or the earliest childhood.
You should pronounce it "Daas billed hanged chief" 🤣 I know from a view videos that you like german comedy.And yes it can be considered as slapstick. But don't forget he's the Godfather in German comedy. 😀
This represents what (especially current) German foreign policy does to the world.
What are we doing to the world? There are countries with much more importance. So what can Germany's policies do to the world?
He had and needed only one Take to record this Scene! 😮 (For Sure...rebuild the Set will take days😅)
Mr.Bean.....I thought the same! :-)))
I love Loriot. Best humor
You call this "Die Tücke des Objekts" 🤣.
the hotel room scene, morning after, in fear and loathing in las vegas :)
"Die Jodelschule" is another great one by Loriot. But I don't know if there's a version with English subtitles.
I don't know if there is a dubbed version of his movies, but if there is, I highly recommend any of them.
He is a national treasure.
The issue:
Er wollte MAL EBEN das Bild richten.
He JUST wanted to correct the picture.
Just wanting to do something is dangerous. Most times something goes wrong someone JUST wanted to do something....
Hi, Mert! And now you learn that german word, which fits perfect to this sketch: "Schadenfreude"!
😂.....Hm....I also thought of Mr. Bean!
Interesting is: Loriot got inspired by Jacques Tati.
this one is almost a proto Mr. Bean bit.
edit: ah, you noticed it, too
Loriot copied (like Mr. Bean), in this case from Jacques Tati. See Monsieur Hulot on vacation.

This is what we call “Verschlimmbessern” in German.😊
Pronounciation help: Das Bild hängt schief. D'uhs build hanged scheef.
We actually got a German word for that situation, when one is trying to help, but making it worse instead: verschlimmbessern (fusion of words for worsening + improving. If the same system of merging English words would exist, it'd be sth. like 'worseproving' 🤣)
When Brits and Germans laugh about the same things…
… we in Germany love Monty Python for decades now…
… then finally Brits and Germans can become friends… would be a good thing…
Basically me everytime I mess up a minor thing... 🥴
Is it Bolero???
Dieser Sketch ist leider nicht von Loriot sondern von dem französischem Komiker Jaques Tati aus dem Film "Die Ferien des Moinseur Hulot" von Anfang der sechziger Jahre.
The best is that after he wrecked the room he just tell her "Das Bild hängt schief"/ the picture ist crooked. As if this is the main problem at that point.

Loriot also invented an animal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_louse
the stone louse even appears in the Pschyrembel, a well-known medical encyclopaedia. 😂
