Volker Pispers retired some years ago..He is not a comedian. It is political satire and common in Germany. Greetings from Berlin and I wish you a lot of fun listening to all parts.

When satire makes you look things up because you're thinking, wondering, then that's great satire.

Please, do the whole series! Love it! Have seen it from a load of reactors - and I'm really happy you got here, too!
The pacifist slogan is "Nie wieder darf von Deutschland Krieg ausgehen" which does not just mean never again a war must be started by Germany, but the "ausgehen" thing means really that Germany should in no way whatsoever support the start of a war.

Pispers always makes people uncomfortable. Either because they don't understand him, or because they do.

Lucky choice. No one ever came near Volker Pispers in telling "how it is". Today no one would dare to say what he did in TV

@T.Scalino 2 years ago

That's basically the story you commented on about 3 months ago on the German TV programme "Die Anstalt" (American reacts to American Middle East War explained by Germans). By the way, in both cases the satirists did an excellent job of explaining, I believe.

Oh, Boy. Buckel up Ryan, this will hurt.

and here we go...emotional damage!
Ryan, this video you're watching was recorded in 2004. Just FYI. Also, everything he says is factual. It might sound funny, harsh or even hurt, but its the truth packaged in a form of pessimistic sarcasm that occasionally forces a laugh out of you, and otherwise makes you think seriously about matters. Can't wait for Part 3 & 4. 😈

Respect for taking this one on. I assume it is kind of hard for a non native speaker to follow, or get all the references to German politics. But hang in there, if not for the comedy, for the history lesson. He does take on the US, rightfully so, but doesnt forget to take on our politicians that are not free from blame . Great stuff. Keep going please 😂🤘❤️

You really have to watch all of them. Its more or less a really good history lessen. Its shocking but all true. There is also a long version, but that has not the handmade subtitles, so for that reason, better just watch the 5 smaller parts.

6:50 - Gerhard Schröder was the german Chancelor at the time this was recorded.

Pispers is LEGENDARY,please watch more from them.

Volker Pispers is the best when it comes to roasting the politics. I miss him, dude.

@chrisi5907 2 years ago

Don't mind if you're more quiet than usually - it's a great series of videos to react to imo, but definitely an information dump, especially if you don't know terribly much about the historic events he gets into. Makes it all the more worth it to watch them though, so I'm looking forward to you reacting to the other parts!

Volker Pispers is the godfather of satire.
No one else can slap reality in your face so mercilessly and be so brilliantly subtle at the same time.

@venomous0815 2 years ago

The subtitles are even translated very accurately!

Pispers is a highly respected satirist in Germany, if not the most famous. Many (including me) hope that he will come back at some point. But he himself said that his work is pointless because he has been talking for decades, exposing and naming problems in politics, but people still do not change their voting behavior and still believe the lies of politicians. And that's true. I would also give up at some point.

Greetings from Germany and I hope you wear your seatbelt before watching his videos 😁

You have chosen one of the sharpest political standup comedian in Germany. Even for educated Germans he is difficult to follow. He is really brilliant.
