This is my reaction to 37 Imitationen des Max Giermann
In this video I react to German impressionist, actor and comedian Max Giermann and many of his most popular impressions
Original Video - • 37 Imitationen des Max...
He is a genius! I think Klaus Kinski is the most popular, due to the intense, erratic behavior of Kinski. But Max Giermann is extremely versatile.
yes - you should react to a full klaus kinski impression as well as to an actual Klaus Kinski video :D
The Word that describes Klaus Kinski the best is insane.
You should really watch his Temper Tantrum on the Set of the Movie Fitzcarraldo. It's LEGENDARY.
Nearly every impression from Giermann is based on this.
You forgot insane, crasy and an absolute Madman.🤪
But yes, he also was a Genius.
@@spartan7123 I know that video 😊
Finde Stefan Raab more iconic!
Torsten Sträter was actually present when Max Giermann impersonated him during "Der Deutsche Comedypreis 2020" He sat at a table in the front, happily smiling and shaking his head in disbelief. Max Giermann is being held in high regard for his art. And you are absolutely right, the make-up team should deserve a great round of applause. Then again Giermann once just put on the black beanie und "transformed" into Torsten Sträter just like that with out any latex prosthetic makeup. He sure is a rare talent.
Do you mean the fantastic impression on "Last One Laughing"? :D
I died laughing, when he did a whole Markus Lanz Show on his own out of nowhere
@@_jpg Yepp, that was the second time. Then again I saw that on UA-cam.
I wanted to write that too. ❤
Thorsten also Said: max Giermann imitated me.....what can i achieve more in my Life 😊
The Honecker scene is from Sketch History a German TV series that was making a parody out of historical events. The guy, who was shot by Honecker is the west german rock musician Lindenberg, who performed a concert in East-Berlin in 1983. This was turned into a musical by Lindenberg called "Hinterm Horizont" and into a movie in 2010 "Die Akte Udo Lindenberg" In this Sketch he is asking for the GDR permit to have his festival and is in response shot and then they put in a dummy for him.
Exactly, in in the early eighties Lindenberg wanted to perform so badly in the GDR. His song "Sonderzug nach Pankow" was all about that. And the look of Lindenberg in Sketch-History was from that period.
Thorsten Sträter and Klaus Kinski, as well as Stefan Raab are probably his best roles. Gestures, verbal and facial expression and appearance are on point. Sometime a bit exaggerated but only slightly.There is a german sketch show called "sketch history" where he sometimes appears as Klaus Kinski but is supposed to be a historical person as caesar or one of the thre holy kings.
For me it's that Cuban dancing teacher Jorge Gonzales.
Calling them Three Holy Kings in English is very uncommon, they are usually called Three Wise Men or Three Magi.
Straeter was eerily on point i think that was extremely impressive.
Nearly all of his impressions are better than the Raab one
@@deniskramer3562y he even imitates his tongue… and Markus Lanz is also very good.
can i just say how much i appreciate your level of curiosity? It´s so wholesome to watch you discovering the weird world of us germans. And whenever it comes to politics and stuff you are showing so much knowlegde and such a nice and well reflected way of thinking! Keep it up mate, i love your content!
Agreed. Very witty. Mert, you're a delight to watch. Especially in comparism to similar reaction videos from US people (no offense, just different culture). Like how curious you are, how deep you like to dive into topics and how accurate you analyse things even without understanding everything that was said in the videos.
The best thing about the Thorsten Sträter Imitation was, he did it at an event, where Sträter got an award. And while he was speaking on stage, the camera switched to Sträter nearly peeing his pants in the audience! Priceless! Later, when he went on stage to get his award, he turned around and bowed to the backstage area, saluting to Giermann...
ua-cam.com/video/MUECkhvwlbs/v-deo.html&si=bwDQxySzZvbKrsNn
He already knew the impression from Last One Laughing.. 😂
I would even say that Mert is finally ready to watch it, no? 👀
@@HG_Budde Thorsten Sträter would definetely be a go to to watch for Mert. But I doubt Sträter is understable with poorly generated translation since he plays around with different meanings of terms a lot. But Sträter is deffo hilarious especially when his descriptions are getting slightly surrealistic. Plus, according to the German version of the LOL show I wonder if that's hard to get, too. Maybe it is. For me personally I don't understand too much of what's going on on LOL shows from other countries, but maybe that's just me.
@@HG_Budde Yeeeeeeees had to think of it so many times while watching this video. hard agree
@@bjorkbrennt honestly, you're probably right. It's something I thought many times while watching mert's videos that he is missing out on the best part of most comedians work because of in depth play with language (which is honestly impressingly good possible in german). Also in LOL when they invited John Cleese as a guest I loved it, but also felt like he himself felt out of place and only getting half of anything because most of the nuances of the others humor got lost in translation. hopefully one day mert will have good german knowledge to understand that extra level of jokes :D would love to see him watch lol
I am really happy to see you react to Max Giermann. But it seems, you really have to know the people he imitates otherwise a lot is lost. He portrays every little aspect... movement, vocal color, appearence, gestures and facial expressions. And everything is on point, maybe a little exaggerated.
Thorsten Sträter is a legend himself. And Max Giermann impersonating him is just top notch 😂
Max Giermann is a legend of german comedy and his imitations are always on point. Great man!
Switch and switch reloaded hands down best comedy shows xD
In "sketch history" he also performed as Karl Dall with the real Karl Dall.
But the impressions he does without any makeup are my favorite ones. His entire body changes and he is simply becomes a different human.
I highly recommend the format "scetch history" with him and Michael Kessler, who is also a great impressionist. My favourite is "Götz von Berlichingen". it has strong Monty Phyton vibes :D
Edit* And I wanna say, I appreciate that you looked up all the characters.
Sketch History is one of best shows ever made in Germany!
The Götz sketch is legendary. 😂
@@gabortoth3706Carsten Strauch of Sketch History has a YT channel - highly recommended!
The two award ceremonies with Max as Klaus Kinski are worth watching in their entirety.
Helmut Schmidt was Germany's best chancellor and one of the most impressive personalities of the last 100 years.
Debatable, but he defenitly was one of the best. Helmut Schmidt, Willy Brandt, Ludwig Erhardt and probably Bismarck all compete for the top spot imo.
Euer bester Kanzler ist ein Nazi? Just Wessi things 💀
Helmut Schmidt war in der Hitlerjugend, ist freiwillig 1937 in die Wehrmacht eingetreten und wurde während seiner 8 Jährigen Militärlaufbahn von seinen Nazi-Vorgesetzten wie folgt beschrieben: er „Steht auf dem Boden der national sozialistischen Weltanschauung und versteht es, dieses Gedankengut weiterzugeben.“ des weiteren akkreditierte man ihm eine „einwandfreie nationalsozialistische Haltung“ (10. September 1943) bzw. „Nationalsozialistische Haltung tadelfrei“ (18. September 1944).
Naja in der BRD gab’s ja kaum einen Politiker, Juristen, Polizisten oder Leutnant der nicht in der SS, NSDAP war oder sonstige NS-Zugehörigkeit hatte. Ob man darauf jetzt stolz seien sollte..?
@@Johannes_Piotrdass der 40k fan den Nazi Kanzler feiert hätte keiner kommen sehen 🥸
Best chancellor? ... naja... aber impressive: ja.
Willy Brandt was easiely the Most immpressive chancellor of germany:
-Encourage ourselfs for More democracy.
-lets have a Vision (Helmut Schmidt replied: with Vision you should Visitenkarte the doc.)
Nowadays, they call it T.I.N.A.
Helmut Schmidt is definitely the most interesting among them. Without question. Up until his dead and beyond that he has a very high raputation among germans. Very unusual for a politician. And he is from my home city Hamburg.
Stefan Raab is also an interesting charackter, though Helmut Schmidt is historical more important.
@@vHindenburg Thanks, Herr Generalfeldmarschall...
Gern geschenen Herr Ungern Sternberg.@@melchiorvonsternberg844
@@vHindenburgStefan Raab certainly is interesting but he is not an internationally recognised statesman and intellectual.
@@alicemilne1444 The most interesting thing about Raab is how many different things he does: singing, producing, sports, comedy, hosting a show...
No brainer, his imitations of Klaus Kinski are 🔥
Max is the better Klaus Kinski, crazy
The Erich Honecker thing is about the western german singer Udo Lindenberg, who wanted to perform in GDR for his eastern german fans, but Honecker always said no. Lindenberg even wrote a song about it, 'Sonderzug nach Pankow'. Btw Udo is 77 years old and still an active musician.
What always fascinates me about Max Giermann is that you forget that it's him and not the person he's parodying your watching.
My favourite imitation of Max Giermann is his all-time classic: Klaus Kinski, whom he imitated in many instances.
Max is a legend ... he captures the original and acts so amazing! It's always great joy to watch him perform! ♥
I liked his role as Hugo Egon Balder - which he performed in front of Hugo Egon Balder - and ... his Klaus Kinski is far beyond epic!
The last one - that was really Max Giermann. He is a genius - his impressions of Klaus Kinski, Stefan Raab, Helmut Schmidt and of course Thorsten Sträter are my absolute favorites. He is by far the best impressionist in germany.
You should check out a biografie of Helmut Schmidt.
He was one of a kind, great politician and thinker.
the problem is, you have to know the originals to confirm how genius he is. he is the german jim carrey!
Something you probably missed about the Robert Habeck imitation: Robert Habeck is (in)famous for his completely out-of-the-world analogies - for example, he talks about his plans for renewable energies, and then suddenly starts drawing analogies to bycicles running up on a ladder to reach for the clouds beneath the ocean or sth like that, and the clip you saw (Which is from the satire news shows Extra 3) is from a mock interview with "Robert Habeck", and the way he imitates his analogies is just PERFECT.
Max Giermann is by far the best german comedian we currently have.
Especially when he is imitating Klaus Kinski, brilliant.
The absolute state of German comedy......
Max Gierman is absolutely talented. He participated a few times at the German version of LOL. Although he didn't wear masks the impersonations were always spot on.
I love that in LOL when he imitates three people in a single sketch and he doesn't need any make-up or costumes, you recognize the characters immediately just by his gestures and facial expressions. He is so stunningly talented.
Max is the best impersonator I have ever seen. Internationally, only Jim Carrey comes to mind with that amount of talent. His version of Torsten Sträter is almost eerie, he completely absorbs his look and personality. By the way, Torsten Sträter might be someone for your channel, he is most certainly one of the very best in Germany in the fields of comedy and poetry slam.
He is much better than Jim Carrey who only always plays himself with his typical bizarrely exaggerated mimic.
Maybe not really an impersonator of celebrities, but to me, Billy West comes to my mind with his extremely versatile voice. He spoke Stimpy on Ren & Stimpy and when John Kricfalusi, the voice of Ren was fired, Billy West took over his role. And at least to me, one can hear no difference. He also speaks multiple characters on Futurama with completely different voices. In one early episode he spoke an alien with a weird sound effect overlayed on their voice. Or so it seemed. In the DVD commentary he told it's no sound effect. It's just pure Billy West. In the commentary he once also perfectly imitated Stephen Hawking's speech synthesis.
The Kinski imitation is my favorite from Giermann, followed by Hugo Egon Balder at the birthday party of Hella von Sinnen - so on the point! Sträter is also extremely well mimicked, but Sträter is a genius who plays so much with German Language and words that no machine translation or even professional dubbing would cover his comedy and satire in any other languge.
Torsten Sträter was in the audience while Max was on stage as him, same with Hugo Egon Balder. Both times it was the first time he impersonated them in public.
Robert Habeck, currently our Vice Chancellor, held a bombastic speech of approximately 10 minutes against antisemitism that went viral around the world. So if you are interested in these people Max Giermann imitated there, I'd highly recommend watching that speech. Videos with English subtitles already exist.
I think you can watch the whole video in english
Helmut Schmidt called the special relationship (UK-US)so special,only one side knows about it😂
His Klaus Kinski is a damn legend.
But his Sträter and Habeck are also incredibly funny while being so on point^^
I would call him a damned legend.
Definetly Helmut Schmidt is the most interesting person. His Interviews are so intelligent and he predicted political everything... Definetly worth to look at it. Maybe the most intelligent and reflected politician of all time
Your gesture when you described Brigitte Nielsen as a „big personality“ (lifting both curved hands to your bosom as Nielsen was in Giermann’s clip earlier) was priceless…
Ja... Hab' ich auch gleich gedacht...
His Jan Josef Liefers Impression is so spot on you have to watch a clip from Tatort Münster where he plays the mortician in that character he talks different than normal and he was imitating the character Börne more than the actor itself ♥️
u really should look into some Interviews of Helmut Schmidt! hes one of the greatest Politicians the World has ever seen!
I think Helmut Schmidt was a very interesting person. He was one of the most popular politicians in Germany for a long time. But I don't have a specific video that I can suggest.
Yes, anyone who reacts to max giermann must have seen "Sketch History", a comedy about German history over 2000 years! Many clips can be found on UA-cam. Unfortunately, most of them have no English translation at all.
Wirklich sehr schade! Ich hab' mich auch schon drüber geärgert. Besonders, wegen der 1a Hitler- Parodien...
the scene with Erich Hoenecker and Udo Lindenberg was in reference to a song by Udo called 'Sonderzug nach Pankow' where he complains that he wasn't allowed to play a concert in the ddr. If you find one with good subtitles that's also a great song to react to, it's really clever and very 'of the time' so to say
I guess my favorite imitations are Stefan Raab, Klaus Kinsky and Jorge Gonzalez (no worries if you do not understand the last one, neither do we native Germans :D )
Klaus Kinski is most likely his most iconic role. He basically made Kinski come back from the dead and played Kinski even in some TV shows, not just stand up comedy.
On interesting characters for you to reserach there are quite a few in this video: For politics I say that Helmut Schmidt and Honecker are interesting persons you could read up a bit on. They had international importance.
But also lots of the people Gierman portrays are minor VIPs, mostly the TV hosts and comedy artists here.
9:35 - Helmut Schmidt was a Chain-Smoker
And he got 96 years Old
HOW !?!
24:00 The impression and the mask is shockingly accurate, but yes, it is Max Giermann. If you were familiar with Torsten Sträter, you could tell that the sound of the voice is slightly off - Giermann imitates his manner of speaking perfectly, but his voice has that slightly "compressed" tone that you just can't avoid when you imitate a voice that is much lower than your own. Also, Giermann is younger and has less wrinkles, but the trademark hood covers that up quite well.
you can definetly watch more of klaus kinski :D A very "special" personality
Thank you for looking up the real life people. Thumbs up!
Helmut Schmidt= best politician Germany ever had and a tremandous personality, at current times I wish he was still around. Everyone listened to Helmut Schmidt when he told them "you should do this" even after he retired many politicians still asked for his consultation and wisdom.
On the German Edition of last one laughing he had a guest appearance as Stephan Raab. He performed so well that the other celebrities couldn't tell if it was Max or in fact Raab parodying himself in extra makeup.. All of the celebrities on that show know both max and Raab quite well
you should watch all the videos of "sketch history". Max Giermann is a part of the crew there as well.
Maybe look up Klaus Kinski, he is quite the character. He was one of the most famous German actors and even worked in Hollywood but he was quite vile, brutal and evil even towards his own family. So, not the best representation for German cinema but definitely interesting to look into. His outbursts of anger at the smallest things made any interview with him infamous. Max Giermann parodies him perfectly.
You are absolutly right in what you mentioned with the look, the phrases and the style of behaviour he imitates on point. But for obvious reasons you sadly couldn't mention some maybe even more brilliant aspects of his performances that complete his perfection.
On one hand he is doing jokes about these persons and the context they got public attention for (like scandals or personality they show in interviews or television shows etc.) AND on the other hand he perfectly matches the wording and language style of those persons. So he is using sentences that those person could have said themselves (by the feel of the language).
In rap context you'd say he is biting them.
So even given the fact that the visual imitation is brilliant you could close your eyes and recognize only by the sound imitation of the voices which person he is making fun of.
(I checked ;) )
So an absolutly incredibly talented comedian.
His Stefan Raab impression is what made him a household name, but Klaus Kinski is legendary.
Most people don’t know Max Giermann.
@@Celisar1 they might not know his name, but chances are high they have seen some of his work.
Max Giermann is a perfectionist and method actor. A friend who worked as camera assistent at a regular show with him said that there is always a big mirror next to the camera so that he can check his performance at any time.
Video 4 of recomanding "Do they know it's Europe" by Jan Böhmermann 😅
"Igelnasen, Mäusefäustchen, für deine Brüste brauch ich ne Lupe." 😂😂😂
Max Görmann is just brilliant, like others said, you definitely have to know the person and the behaviours he is imitating. Also it would be better, if you could see his imitations longer, since in this video, his takes are quit short and the imitations haven’t that depth in just 10 seconds.
Max Giermann is a legend! Every German get all his characters instantly cause he inpersonates them so perfectly on point!
It's great that you took the trouble to show the originals. Otherwise this video wouldn't have worked.
Hardly distinguishable from the original. Facial expressions, gestures, manner of speaking, accent...
Thorsten Sträter himself is also pretty good. Of course he's very eloquent, but I don't know if that can be translated well. Jochen Malmsheimer is also very eloquent (Hosenpredigt, Wurstbrot).
He is such a unique funny person. I like his face, it's so expressive. He was in every season of "Last one laughing" because he destroys everything 😄
It is just so wholesome to see your curiosity for all this german culture stuff. Keep it up! Really good idea to look up the original people to the impression! I think Klaus Kinski is by far his most famous impression.
About Erich Honicker... the guy he shoots is Udo Lindenberg...
Udo had a huge fan base in the GDR, but for whatever reason he was never allowed to perform there, so he wrote a song "Sonderzug nach Pankow "
With this song he personally addressed Erich Honicker to ask why every stupid schlagerfutzi is invited and he isn't... a catchy song and totally funny. One line of the song says "Oh, Erich, you like to put on your leather jacket and lock yourself in the toilet and listen to West Radio."
The song became very popular in both the West and the East.
And then Udo Lindenberg actually got an invitation and he was allowed to perform at the Friedrich Stadtpalast and he sent Erich Honiker a leather jacket... in reference to his song... and yes,... simply because it was funny....😂
Erich Honicker By the way, Udo also gave something as a gift, namely a shalmei, so a multi-tone horn (you can also interpret a lot into this gift ;)).
Erich Honecker and Helmut Schmidt even a foreigner should know... I mean Germans also know who Neville Chamberlain or Margaret Thatcher was...
Great effort on your part, you really put a lot of work in your reaction. Eins A!
I liked the impressions of Markus Lanz and Thorsten Sträter the most. I also had to look twice on Thorsten, Max is awesome!
The Honecker scene refers to the SED (ruling party of the GDR) not allowing the west german Rock musician Udo Lindenberg to play in the GDR.
in 1965 a waiver to bann beat music was signed in the gdr, to disrupt the
"attempt of west-imperialistic masterminds to carry acoustic war preperations into the GDR" (Walter Ulbricht, Head of the central committee).
This was used to to forbid the import of entire music genres from the west.
Among them was rock music.
As a reaction Lindernberg wrote the song "Sonderzug nach Pankow" in which he asked Honeker why all the Schlageraffen (humpta-monkeys) where allowed to play and he wasn't.
4 years later Lindenberg was allowed a single 15 minute gig under heavy Stasi supervision (producing a file a 180 pages strong).
Kinski is the best. Max Giermann should be very careful and NOT imitate Kinski in South America. Why? When Werner Herzog filmed Fitcarraldo on location somewhere in the Peruvian or Brazilian rain forest with Kinski playing the protagonist, native workers approached Herzog and proposed to "disappear" Kinski free of charge because they couldn't watch Herzog and the crew suffer from Kinski's tantrums. He was mad, insane [insert more synonyms], and lunatic.
Max Giermann, is a genius concerning playing and speaking, and his appearance, the make-up, this is brillant too ... yes, he has great support. ;)
The thing that is astonishing, is the political appearance of Germany. You don't know Helmut Schmidt but Oliver Kahn and Jürgen Löw. Helmut Schmidt is one of the most considered chancellors. Similar to Helmut Kohl or Margaret Thatcher.
Seems that sports combines the different nations most.
Hey Mert,
please react to "Staplerfahrer Klaus", a violent and dark humoured spoof of corny, old-school workplace security PSA's, and one of the - if not THE - most typical piece of German humour.
My favourite Max Giermann impression is of Klaus Kinski in Sketch History's "reimagining" of the Fitzcarraldo fight scene.
For context, you should watch the original first: ua-cam.com/video/MPKODzv1PD4/v-deo.html
And this is what Sketch History made of this: ua-cam.com/video/5CSeDNce2cI/v-deo.html
Everything about this clip is genius, not just Max Giermann's performance but also the idea, the script, the set design, the costumes and makeup and the other actors. There is something very meta about Max Giermann playing a much nicer version of Kinski trying to 'act' as the psychopath he actually was, and him and Herzog basically reversing roles.
What's not so easy for you to recognize is the way of speaking of the "Originals", which he implements and masters perfectly! PLUS the SOUND of the voice!
In some rare times I used to look twice until I realized whether it was the original or Max Giermann.
Awesome... Genius...
Klaus Kinski impersonation is LEGEND. Watched it so many times and I am astonished....and laughing my head of every time 😂
From a psycholocial perspective, Klaus Kinsky is by far the most interesting character, such a deviant personality, so short tempered, one of a kind ... scary and fascinating, but mostly scary. If you think Oliver Kahn is mad ... check Kinsky out.
Stefan Raab, Robert Habeck, Sigmar Gabriel, Johann Lafer, Christian Rach, Kai Pflaume, Markus Lanz, ....
You are actually just a guy who is presenting and talking about videos i allready know. I don`t know why, but your videos bring me pure joy. your personality and interest in all the german things are just fascinating. Thank you for doing this Videos. You seem like a great guy and you`ll be surely successfull with what you do! keep it up👌
I totally get how everybody loves the make up artistry. But i prefer him without it, because it shows his personal talent so much more - him just moving his face differently is unbelievable. The makeup is convincing, but covers up what he could do without. He's like a German Jim Carrey in that regard.
My favourite impersonation is definitiv "klaus kinski" 😂❤
You should watch the fullvideo of that 8min show
You asked for anyone to educate yourself more on. Definetely Helmut Schmidt. Not because I'm a fan but to be honest to listen to this man's thoughts is something else. I'm not deep into politics but I read a book from him about China and it was mind-blowing. I recommend watching some of his speeches with subtitles. Maybe worth your time.
For example watch this video "German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt on world leaders" and you'll see what I mean. He was asked spontaneously about world leaders and taking into account the time he was asked he made some very clear and in my opinion bold answers.
Im surprised you havent heard of the mental phenomenon called Kinski....
Chancellor Helmut Schmidt was a Heavy smoker during his lifetime and preferred cigarettes with menthol added.
Unfortunately this isn't a good episode for once, I'm otherwise a big fan of yours. But looking at almost 40 impressions from people you don't know is unfortunately pointless. then googling them and hearing a sentence quickly is no fun as a viewer...
Helmut Schmidt was the most popular politician in Germany during his lifetime and remains so after his death. He is very important for the history of Germany and Europe. A true man of honour! He onec was asked „what do you need to do all this, passion?“ he answerd „No passion, just willpower and cigarettes“
His american counterpart would be Bill Hader, a blank slate that can realy work with his facial expression and sinc with the role portrayed. Both are under valued but their work just fits best comedic roles and those usually are not so recognized by the award giving academies.
Oh, Mert, I'm so sorry you're missing out because of the limited ability of the auto-translator
A very interesting character is Helmut Schmidt if you want to dive deeper into important German personalitys.
7:09 this is making fun of a piece of German histoy. German rock singer Udo Lindenberg (the other guy in the scene) was seeking permission to give a concert in East Berlin.
He actually even wrote a song about that, "Sonderzug nach Pankow". Here it is, with an English translation:
ua-cam.com/video/vK0HOMY4SU8/v-deo.html
After much deliberation within the GDR state and with the Stasi, Lindenberg actually could give a concert in East Berlin. Couldn't play Sonderzug nach Pankow there, though, he wouldn't play that in East Germany until after the Communists were gone.
There are so many good imitations but I think I like Jorge González most - it's just brilliantly done and sooo funny! Apart from that often it's either the way he looks or he speaks so similarly (btw he also imitates all the German dialects so well - Helmuth Schmidt who was from Hamburg, for example...) - love it! Thanks for sharing your views on the videos cause it shows your interest in German comedy and satire 🙂
The one with hugo egon balder, you should probably try watching an episode of well known show he moderated in the past - if you listen to him there, you understand how perfect the imitation really is :D
Check please, House of Trumps from Olli Dittrich
Max Giermann is a genius. His Impression of Thorsten Sträter is mindblowing. And so is the rest. He is just amazing
Thorsten Sträter and Max Germann are both fans of each other. Thorsten was so touched by his performance, that he nearly cried as Giermann portraited him.
Udo Lindenberg (the guy shot by Honecker in the sketch) was is a very famous singer who back in the days wasn't allowed to perform in East Germany and even made a successful song about that fact. The sketch shows Honecker rather shooting Lindenberg than granting him a visa to East Germany. Jens Spahn was considered a very ambitious young politician and for a brief time even considered a potential next chancellor (thus the joke about him accidentally calling himself chancellor) but handled the pandemic in a less than optimal manner and has since sort of sunk into oblivion.
In my opinion a lot of these Persons are worth having a closer look at if you want to get a better understanding of german culture.
Thank you for putting that much effort in the Video. It made it very watchable. Great work :)
You should definitely watch a best of of Klaus Kinski ❤
The voice, the behavier, he is analysing the characters so well, without any doubt he is a genius! Especialy for Germans, because we know the real characters so well and have to laugh about the accuracy of the parody. And congenial is of course the makeup artist (Janine Hohmann at al.)
And you are doing a great impression of the young Liam Neeson😂😂
You should watch Torsten Sträter. In recent years he has had a meteoric rise in the comedy and cabaret scene
He is incredibly good at capturing the characters but does emphasize a lot of quirks a bit too much. I'm sure that is for comedic purposes though.
If you plan to do research on some of the characters Max portrayed, I'd suggest Helmut Schmidt. He was quite the character and there's a lot of stuff named after him and/or his wife Loki (the airport in Hamburg for example). They both left their marks all over the country.
Max Giermann‘s Klaus Kinski is first class. Cracks me up every time!!!! But Giermann‘s impressions are all pure genius and on the point. Johann Lafer and Cuban Jorge Gonzales - pure gold!
Helmut Schmidt was on point!
My most favorite impersonation is Max Giermann as Klaus Kinski, who plays King Philip II of Spain in Sketch History. Fantastically performed. 😂😂😂
About the Honecker-bit: he shot Musician Udo Lindenberg who once sang a famous (as well as really annoying) song semi directed to Honecker demanding to let him play concerts in the GDR.
