"a good education is probably the most important thing if you want to become a successfull country", and that's all

“Why is Germany better than the US?” It surprises me how people still thinks that the US is a good country in 2020

Sometimes, I feel most of my German culture knowledge comes from you and Rammstein

Loved this video! 'why SHOULDN'T education be free, I dont get this question' 😂 that's the German mentality that makes the country so great

I’ve found your channel yesterday and I’ve watched almost all your videos 😂. Your content is amazing! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

That's fascinating that Germany excels in niche markets and has so many of them! Archery is a hobby of mine and Beiter is considered the "top of the line" when it comes to certain components! And my daughter is big into aquariums and she often tells me that Germany makes the best aquarium products! Very fascinating!

"we produce the best microphones and fish food and pipe organs". Weird flex but ok ... Ahaha

Das hast du gut gemacht. Bravo. Kostenlose Ausbildung ist die Voraussetzung für ein erfolgreiches Land. On point.

"In Germany there's no corruption" *laughs in Italian*

“And we would never vote someone like that in.... well Maybe once”😂😂😂 hilarious loved the video mate

Hi, I'm Brazilian and I've been living in Germany for 1 year and 8 months. I agree one hundred percent with you. When you talk about corruption, it's clear to me that it's not just a matter of politicians being honest. The population also needs to be. In several plantations around Munich, I saw the products displayed for sale without anyone present. You choose what you want to buy and deposit the money in a box beside it. And it's not a safe, just a plain wooden box. I'm subscribed to your channel and I find the videos funny and sometimes educational :)

whoever came up with the idea of "Mittelstand" was a genius. As an engineer myself I can tell you that, no matter the industry, if you search enough you will find out the sole best product in that industry is "Made in Germany". and yes the device on my profile picture sure is a German-made Gossen Metrawatt.

Germany is a beautiful country with great scientific achievements and admirable culture. I visited a couple of times and I hope I will go there soon again:) Love from Poland:)

'Bout Slavics way to call Germans: No one ever told me it's because Germans don't talk much, but because we can't understand what the hell are they saying 😂

Greetings from India 🇮🇳 Brother i am literally jealous for not being born in Deutschland 🇩🇪 Your Education is free & high quality, Healthcare is excellent..... You have learnt from your history and left all those obsolete mindset back, Excellent luxury car brands, No speed limit on Autobahn, 4th Largest economy of world, 3rd Largest exporter, 2nd on Net import & Export almost 297 billion dollars trade surplus....... Your Lucky to be in Deutschland 🇩🇪 brother...... ✌️✌️

Me: "There aren't that many castles here in Germany. Like I would know if there were..." Me: "Never mind."

Many American's think taxes in Germany are very high. But, at least with income tax, I pay more income tax in the US than I would in Germany. Which is crazy because of all the services you receive in Germany.

6:20 Niemiec can be translated to “niemy”that is unarticulated but in a way “don’t talk” or “don’t talk in our language”. Also, can be translated to “nie my” (with space) that means “not one of ours people”. :) Slavs were calling Niemiec everyone who was coming from West but it stayed with Germans for ever. :)

I don’t know if the KZfaq algorism suggested you bc I started to learn German, but hey u got a subscriber from Brazil 🇧🇷

Franz Ferdinand, the Austrian noble you talk about, was killed in Sarajevo, and that is in Bosnien-Herzegowina :)

Your videos make me want to live in Germany! Perhaps I should start small with a short visit first.

Living in Germany for almost 10 years now, and coming from Italy, I would add that I feel Germans have a great sens of State and community, if something is public here it belongs to everyone, in Italy something public belongs to none.

Omg, my friend you nailed it at the end! And this.... Now you go tell your country why isn’t education free in your country. Because here in America they like people to stay stupid 👍🏽

I'm a German... But you just told me facts about this country I didn't know! Should rather watch your videos than going to university - your videos are really for free hehe :D and very well done!!

When people said german aren’t funny they have got to watch your videos 😁

"Why is Germany better than the US?” because they drink good beers!! sometimes they are naughty, but most of time they are polite.

"There is almost no corruption, which means you can get things done more easily" Berlin airport: NOPE

When I was living in China, at one point I needed to replace my window. We went to this area specialized in home construction parts (doors, lamps, windows etc.) and my eyes nearly popped out when it turned out many of the window-sellers were selling German windows. Mind you, this area wasn't specialized in high-end, imported products or anything. Anyway, I got myself a German window back then. The workers were super efficient and installed it in just a few hours.

Bist einfach nen klasse Typ. Bitte mehr wir freuen uns immer wieder 😇❤️👍🙌

2:08 It's actually illegal to clean your car yourself in Germany because the cleaning liquid can harm the environment, so you have to go to a professional car wash.

10 mins video 👏🏻. I was constantly checking it to see how much time it had left. Man, thanks. You are a great entertainer and it must be really cool to talk with you, especially about German culture.

I binged watched almost all your videos! So smart, funny and informative 👍keep it up. Best regards from Beirut- Lebanon 🇱🇧😘

The insight about German companies and specialization was genuinely fascinating. ✨👀

And in Austria We r so rich because We produce the parts in our middle sized companies for the German middle sized companies;) and per capita we may have more castles;) I just look out of the window:) but the castles of Ludwig r really beautiful

Made in Germany product's quality is so undoubtable! Honestly, I'm willing to buy one expensive german goods than five cheap chinese goods.

The best thing I learned from this video was that Tetra fish food is German! Had no idea! (Oh and that part about beir and brot better than USA, I will give you that one😀)

In Russia we have free school education. After the school you have two ways in Russia: 1. You pass the exams with high results and the state pays your education 2. You pass the exams with average or low results and you need to pay the education. Pretty fair in my opinion 🤷‍♂️

Happy holidays to you too man! Hope you're well! Great video as always, making my quarantine here in Greece a bit more bearable.

This channel has grown on me! I don't even have plans to live in German but would like to visit now. You are a star. Love from Malawi.

Education should be free everywhere in the world 🌍 for the sake of this world

i like how he tried so hard to say "our classical music is the sh*t!" maybe he asked his US friend how to say it properly lol

Omg 🤣🤣🤣 ! I lost it at 9:48 and I technically died at 9:58 Underrated channel , keep it up

Im fond of your channel. This is some insightful content and I especially like the humoristic way you deal with each subject.

Love your videos! Thanks for your expression and actor skills! Kudos :)

Germany has about 20,000 castles, the majority of them in poor repair now. If that sounds excessive, realize that during most of its history it was a patchwork of over 300 rival semi-independent principalities, nominally loyal to the emperor, that ranged from pretentious glorified city states (sometimes even actual formal city states like the Free Imperial Cities; Hamburg is still a city-state) to sizable kingdoms in their own right like Bavaria and Prussia. But even so that averages to around 70 castles per kingdom. It makes a fun place for modern visitors, though it's clear a lot of resources were spent that could have been put to better use for society in general. But think of it from a royal perspective. "Up there on the hill overlooking our capital is the fortress that my ancestors moved into sometime around when written records started being kept. Of course it's been enlarged a few times as building styles changed, and refortified after a couple of sieges. The real improvements came when the townspeople rose up with the peasants during that whole Martin Luther debacle. I'm happy to report that our family stronghold is now quite torchproof and pitchforkproof. Really came in handy in keeping out the Swedes during that whole Thirty Years War thing. The cousins weren't quite so lucky, but the ones who survived can keep their little fortresses and amuse themselves with jousting and gardening or whatever as long as they don't get any ideas like the great great uncle who thought his branch of the family should take the throne after that whole succession crisis in something hundred and something. The whole kingdom almost reverted to Catholicism, and now we have that whole Edict of Toleration thing going on so we make sure to build a Lutheran church next door to any Catholic church just to make sure nothing looks unbalanced and the peasants don't revolt. Again. And then you have to be really careful who you marry so you don't trigger any suspicion that you're going to change the policy. Anywho, I've still got a couple of dozen knightly retainers who have their little castles their great great whatever grandparents obtained with the minor noble titles they got in exchange for their pledges of fealty to my exalted forebears. We've still technically got the oaths, but more importantly the cost of running their households has them constantly hanging around begging to be of service so that they can get something out of the privy purse. Keeps them in my pocket in case the cousins feel up to something again. We still have a few other castles that we built to secure the major trade routes, collect taxes, protect the royal treasuries, etc. Fortunately a few of them came in handy in fighting off the Turks. We had to abandon a couple and start over when the course of the river shifted and the location was kind of rendered useless. A few burnt down and we did a half assed job of rebuilding them. The French took out a couple with artillery during that whole War of the Whatever Succession (I can't keep track of all of them.) So we just abandoned those because obviously they're no good anymore with all these firearms proliferating. Better to spend the money on defense in depth for the garrison towns that are in better shape now. So in any case things have settled down with the locals enough, and we really need to show how modern and prosperous we are, and there just isn't room to host all the artists and intellectuals that befit the glory of our kingdom behind those old walls, and there isn't really room on the hilltop for expansion, and it's just so old fashioned and unsightly, and have you seen what King Louis's got now? So we built a new royal residence down on the edge of town, and rearranged the town square around it with an opera house, a museum, and some nice new office buildings for the various ministries and the royal archives. There's a whole new wing with accommodations for the imperial court. With any luck the Emperor will remember what Dad did for him during that whole Siege of Vienna, and will remember me when it gets time to appoint the chancellorship and access to the Privy Purse. Speaking of Dad he got some weird delusions of grandeur after coming back from the war, and decided the capital just wasn't good enough for him, so he went off to one of his favorite vacation spots outside of town, renamed it Dadsburg, and proceeded to bring in some foreigners to design an entire city from scratch around his new palace. So everyone had to up and leave for the new town and pretend to like it while everything was under construction. So impractical. Admittedly it looks pretty good now, but it's a little dated, so 80's (1680's that is.). Not a bad vacation spot now, except it's all gloomy now that stepmom lives there after dad died. So anyhow we moved everything back to the old capital once the renovation project was far enough along. I'm going to leave my stamp on this city, and no Frenchie or Italian can say anything but wow about the new palace square. It's in the most sophisticated taste possible, and I spared no expense in getting the best painters and decorators to magnify my exalted self in the allegorical stuff all over the place. Though even with the new private rooms things get a bit old with all the courtly ceremonies. Lever, Coucher, a monarch's work is never done. Can't a royal person get a little privacy in his privy chamber now and again? So we expanded the summer residence outside the city to be able to hold the whole court for a few months. Very airy and nice for the hot season. And away from all those townies. The commoners smell a bit ripe in the heat, don't you know. There's even a few maisons de plaisance in the gardens where I can go meditate and commune with nature and with some visitors undisturbed, if you know what I mean. Wink wink nudge nudge. Speaking of which I had to build a nice private place for my mistress when I found out she was pregnant so she could raise the kid away from prying eyes. It's conveniently located so I can visit it discreetly during some of my hunting trips. I inherited a couple of hunting lodges around the country and had to renovate them a bit to keep them up to snuff. Gave one of the old ones to my ex mistress, way out in the boonies so she understands not to pester me at court anymore. I built a new place for my current on again/off again mistress and her husband nearby the main residence. That way I can visit when I send him off on diplomatic missions and nobody will think twice about it. Of course with all this going on I can't let my wife feel neglected. I built a whole nice little villa for her after the birth of our first child, because I know she likes Italy. So she and her ladies in waiting or whoever can have their little girly parties there and everyone keeps the peace in the household. I'm only allowed to visit by invitation, and everyone is happy with that. How many castles is that? I've lost track. That's why we keep accountants I guess. Anyway, I'm exhausted from keeping track of all this. I've commissioned the royal architect to build a new palace where I can retire, out by one of the nice monasteries or a university or something. I can put the students to work on my gardening ideas or sorting the royal rock collection or whatever while I read some of those newfangled novels. I've been curious what the women are all giggling about with their noses in a book all day long. Not traditional psalters I'll tell you what! What can I say, it's good to be the king." And thus we inherit a built environment largely shaped by the whims and needs of aristocrats shaping the material conditions of their times around their self-perceived interests. It's much more fun enjoying them from a remove of a few hundred years than it was living with the actual inhabitants.

I actually find it impressive that germany does so well in so many categories in an international comparison, when you consider how much money our politicians sometimes waste.

Bro, I found yesterday your channel and I'm REALLY enjoying your videos. Keep them coming and greetings from Münster.

Great vid! Being a new Berliner I have found your channel amazing. Keep up the good work!

The main reason for me as a German never considering moving to the US is that whenever people are shot in Germany, it is one of the worst days of the year. For US-citizens, that would be tuesday.

amazing that you studied in Heidelberg! Ever considered making a video out of it?

Awesome video, thanks!!

ah another great video, really enjoyed this one

Love the German Orchestral Music. Absolutely Tripping experience.

The Poetin laugh, hilarious!! 😂😂

Fantastic video, love every one you make :) can't wait for more!

OMG this is my new favorite video. So glad I found your channel! Hallo from Utah!

Fun fact: The United States Marine Corps adopted the Bulldog as its mascot after World War I. According to tradition, the Marines fought so fiercely in the battle of Belleau Wood in France that the Germans called them “teufel hunden” after the devil dogs from Bavarian folklore. The nickname “devil dogs” stuck.

Your Thumbmail is my hometown, Schwäbisch Hall :D yeeay

I'm hooked with your vids. Great content. Congrats!

Subscribed! Keep up the good work brosif! 👍🏻

As a brazilian that is interested in visit germany. I would say that I'm very surprised with the number of castles. Probably I'll visit some of them and check if the german bier is really good :)

Dude, your videos are the fucking best! 😀

Thanks for the answers. Very informative 👌

Dont forget about the castle in Schwerin, its also beautyful and nice to cycle there! 🚲

I am a historian from Croatia, and all I can say is: "Gott mit uns!". Fantastic country, interesting history with ups and downs, lessons learnd and still moving forward in such a remarkable way. Greetings disciplined, hardworking and kind hearted people of Germany!

On the castles: I think we can all agree on Neuschwanstein being the most famous one, but #2 is not that easy. Being from Eastern Germany, I had never heard of the Heidelberg castle actually. There Wartburg is probably the famost famous one. And I also want a party castle! Can I rent a room in yours? :D

I like your channel. You're humorous.....and of course informative.

Thanks for producing your videos in English...makes it so much easier to watch 👍...and danke for your genuine honesty in answering those questions make us curious 🤔

You should have called it “FAQ in Germany with caution”

330 km/h during the day on a two lane Autobahn? - You better hope nobody is trying to overtake a truck with 120 km/h in front of you...

I come from a German and Scottish heritage, and I love both cultures, but German food, my grandmother did everything from scratch, and taught me long the way, no store bought bread, fresh bread every meal, and the only potato salad, made with German style vinaigrette, you could right home about

After training for opera for years in the USA my friends went to Germany to get jobs. Even moderately sized cities have opera companies and the jobs are considered municipal jobs with benefits, paid vacations and pensions. In the USA by contrast most singers struggle to make ends meet and have to have a day job to get by. Also tickets to the opera are very reasonably priced and there is even free standing room for students and other people on a budget

"There's no curruption in germany" Chinese dwarfs laughing in the corner😁😂🤣

I think people should know there's no speed limit in the Autobahn, if you go fast inside the city you'll be in trouble

This was a fun video! 😁 Watching your videos is making me super excited for my upcoming move to Berlin! Make a video about NYE in Berlin! I was there two years ago and it was NUTS.

I just love your videos man! You have an amazing style of narration. I hope your channel gets more and more love and support. It is underrated. Love from India.

The etymology of Deutschland blew my mind. I never knew that before and I've been there so many times! Great vid also. Do a new years in Berlin video? The fireworks there are amazing and plentiful. I only got shot in the back once ;)

I think the successful country does not exist. The entire world is still very primitive and clumsy. Just that Germany is less primitive and clumsy than the rest, but it is.

I love your videos. So special. I also love your Monstera. And I quite like Neuschwanstein.

The castle you described as ugly at 5:25 is way cooler looking than the one you described as beautiful, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder

2:59 There is almost no corruption in Germany. But then Covid happened. Lobbyists be laughing

i'm moving to germany

Best thing that happened to me in 2021- to find this channel. Thanks Got, it’s still January 😅

Educational and funny video haha, one major reason you have so many castles was/is that you had a law that stated everytime a noble had children they also could own land, so the bundestag was split up into more and more, and ofc they also "needed" a castle :D oh and not being a big earthquake zone also helps preserve them.

„Why should you get a car that drives 200km/h or more, but you can’t actually use it?“ I strongly agree. This is one of the greatest things about Germany. I always wondered tho why the other countries are so stuck up about their speed limits

Dang, almost no corruption in Germany. I wish i could say that coming from Portugal

officially love your channel and content.

Very enlightening; I have learnt a lot from this video.

Die wichtigste frage hier ist warum du aussiehst wie eine deutsche reinkarnation von kurt cobain

Funny videos man! But the US is the best - and we love German things too, especially in the Midwest 🍻 prost mein freund 😄

Great videos man! I love it!

Heyy! I've been really enjoying your videos while applying to uni in Berlin. Next winter semester will be there (hopefully) and maybe I'll run in to you in Berghain..well hoping that the clubs re-open by then :')

When compared to Portugal, I think that the only thing Germany has worse than us is probably the weather ... and German cuisine, eheh, but apart from that the country excels in pretty much everything, starting with bread and ending in cars 🙂

I love Germany! 🇩🇪 ❤️

And I'm helping your channel by watching your videos over and over again. Hope it'll be as successful as Germany haha

I live in Niedersachsen, and I can count on one finger how many castles ive seen. However, I didn't even see the castle itself as it was covered in something I cant remember, been a while

Wie gehts Brudder? I loved this video. There are many things that you addressed that's on point, and my favorite part pertains to education. On Reddit, I posted a question regarding Humboldt University. It's VERY cheap for a non-German to study there for her or his bachelor's degree, and it's even cheaper for a German. I asked the subreddit /r/Germany "how is this sustainable as a business model?" I was amazed at the answers that I got. One person politely said to me that my question was quintessentially American, and that in Germany, nobody even thinks about profiteering off of a person's education (or health). In Germany, they don't view education as a for-profit business, but as a necessity. Anyways, my question for Germans would be this: How easy would it be for a brown-skinned guy to make friends there, and which city is it the easiest and the most difficult to make friends?

Another reason is, Germans don't brag. Low key and super successful.

Ahahaha great sense of humour. I like you :)

This video is so informative
