    Fritz Messerschmitt on extension 109. The Messerschmitt ME109 was one of the most dangerous Luftwaffe fighter planes during the second world war

      it was the most widely used and the most built but the tag of the dangerous Luftwaffe fighter would have to go to the Focke Wulf, that plane was just something else. Well that is what I think anyways

    When he's impersonating the German guy, he's speaking German with English grammar, basically. So if you know a little German and English, you get the gist.
    When he's doing the hip thrusts and all of that stuff, he's going on about football/soccer results. Singing "You're shit and know you are" (Sie sind Scheiss und sie kennen sie sind) about England who were "Auss in die erste Raunde" (Out in the first round). He's also talking about how Germany beat Argentina in the final and gave them a very nice Arschficken (..."backside romping" *cough* ) and how they beat Brazil 7-1. He also sings "Es kommt zu Hause" (It's coming home), which is what English fans are known to sing when they get anywhere past the initial rounds.

    The Messerschmitt Bf109 was one of the more prolific fighter plane models in the Luftwaffe during the earlier part of WW2, especially around the time of the Battle of Britain. A lot of the other names of the Germans he mentions later in the sketch are also references to German WW2 planes, military equipment, etc.
    Whilst I believe that Al Murray is, himself, pretty-much fluent in German, what he's speaking here is actually what we'd call "Dinglish", which is a comedic, semi-nonsense mix of mostly German and some English, aimed at an English audience, and so most of the grammar and phrasing is English, just using predominantly German vocabulary (much of which he gets pretty spot-on here). A similar thing exists between French and English, called "Franglais".

    I don't think people understood it, but when London got down, in Frankfurt he said 'Wo ist Steiner? Wo ist Steiner?' (Where is Steiner?). If you have seen the movie Downfall (or Der Untergang) you immediatly know the joke. When Hitler was in his bunker in Berlin, he had set his hopes on Steiner to break through the Russian flank and save Berin. Steiner however had too few troops and armour to succeed. When his generals in his bunker told of this failure, he got into a furious rage. This piece of the movie has become a meme on internet.

  • @PiersDJackson
    @PiersDJackson Рік тому +11

    The Messerschmitt joke is about one of THE German fighter aircraft of WWII, the Bf-109 equivalent to the Spitfire or Mustang... similar in that all three had a supercharged V-12 engine, the main difference was the Germans used them inverted, also there was their superchargers, Roots vs. Centrifugal.
    *** the joke about the "Favourite Black Labrador" is a dig at the P.C. police wanting to expunge the name of Sir Guy Gibson's dog, Gibson was the Squadron Leader of the Dambusters in WWII, the dog was famously their mascot, tragically was run over whilst the Squadron were over Germany, and was buried in the gardens adjacent to the HQ of their airfield. Firstly the name was that N word that rhymes with digger, secondly the remains were found in fairly recent redevelopment of the site, with an intention of interring them beneath the new anniversary monument.... but wanting to change the name to start with D.

    The black labrador whose name he can't mention is a clever reference to the 1955 movie "The Dambusters" which any Brit of a certain age will have seen a zillion times. In the movie, Guy Gibson's black labrador is the 617 Squadron mascot and is named "the N word" which 80yrs ago didnt have the same connotation as it does today.
