This is by far the best show in German public TV. Pure truth disguised as comedy.

I love how they entertain and teach actual history at the same time.

Our humor is often linked to the tragedy of honest truth.

Fun fact: the man wearing the stars-and-stripes top hat is a lawyer himself ...

The "office shredder" part is especially "funny" for germans, because whenever you got high crime here from political parties, police officers, secret agents and alike, all the documents about it tend to be gone or are unreadable.

If you want to see the top-level of german satire, I recommend Volker Pispers explains the USA (english subtitles available). Many reaction youtuber split it into parts, because it goes 45 minutes, but it is really good.

You should watch "Volker Pispers" he is on a next level.

You ought to watch _Volker Pispers' History of the US and terrorism..._

Well, there is German satire in a „politisches Kabarett“-Tradition that began to some degree even before the First World War, and that humor indeed has a certain intellectual / academic level. I would count „heute show“ and „Die Anstalt“ among the current examples of this tradition. However, there is also rather basic humor, more along the lines of farcical comedy, and that can be daft, and targeting a more… „inebriated“… audience. (I can’t really give you examples for this, because I find that sort of humor rather off-putting.)

For me as a german, I can understand the video. But could non-german viewers understand this as you cutted off the english translation shown at the bottom? I don't think so. It would be better if you could add the subtitles in your video, too. But generallythis one was great!

There is a longer version of the same topic by Volker Pispers. The history of USA and terrorism.

nice to see you guys having fun with Die Anstalt. Little remark to the pronunciation: the german 'die' sounds like the american Dee (as abreviation for Deborah). You will also find the double e (ee) in english in reef. So the german ie sounds like the ee in english (eel, feel, reef). The german vocal i alone is the same but shorter, not so stretched. :)

you kinda need to show the subtitles in the video

You need to watch "Die Anstalt - ich bin der kleine Junge"

every reactor will get a like by watching this vid. knowledge is power.

Watch Volker Pispers

face it, we germans have the best sense of humor! ;>

German satire at it's best.

I recommend "Michael Mittermeyer". He even has shows in english on KZfaq.

DIE Anstalt? Pronounce DEE Anstalt. Not dying 😂

Why do you pronounce the German article "die" so incorrectly? It has nothing to do with to die. The ie is a long i. English has a very similar i pronunciation when the article the is followed by a vowel. Like in The institution. Or do you say: die Institution?

Germans have a great sense of humor, but our current stand-up comedians are sooo bad. The US and UK comedians are way way better IMO. like -Louis C.K. -Bill Burr -Dave Chappelle -Rowan Atkinson -John Cleese -Jimmy Carr -Ricky Gervais are some of my favorites.
