Living in America for oh, so many years, I miss out on quite a bit of German pop culture – or at least I’m usually way behind on what’s good. So I just learned about comedian Piet Klocke from my brother.
The online version of the German magazine Spiegel published a very funny interview with Piet Klocke today.
And here’s a video:
Even if you’re an English-only-speaker, you may get a kick out of just how cliché-German this guy appears (that’s the other German cliché, not the big blond Nazi one, but the skinny glasses-wearing office guy one) – he’s even talking about something to me so very German: pension (in Germany even fly-by-the-seats-of-your-pants artists seem to all have a serious pension plan).
However, if you DO speak German, you’ll get how hilarious this guy is!
“Wenn Geld alles ist, was ist dann Nichts?”
I think he is absolutely not funny.
i think he is one of the funniest men in germany!! i saw him last saturday in Berlin and i’m still laughing!
he has a very special sense of humor. i think he's great!
