Yes, that's a real cool German word.

Was er mit den Händen aufbaut, reißt er mit dem Arsch wieder ein. (Metapher, wenn wir über unsere IT sprechen)

Yes. In English it means "Making something worse because of wanting to make it better".

Can't fully agree. Especially amongst the younger generations less and less people know him. The greatest of his time, still adored by people who know him, but slowly becoming a relict of an era that has passed. I'd much rather compare him with Monty python.

He was not the first, though. Heinz Erhardt would be the most unique German comedian of the 50s and 60s, I think

This scetch was taken from Monty Phyton though.

If you watch closely, there are quite some continuity errors. The spacing of the pictures changes and there appears a mat out of nowhere. Surprising for an œuvre by Loriot, who was known as a perfectionist. I guess the number of takes was limited.

I don't know how often I watched Pappa ante Portas. I could basically dub it and the situational comic never gets old. I don't know about the English version but it is probably worth a try.

Nah Prussian people tended to be very outspoken especially to authority. You may have heard about the prussian Generalstaff in connection to Hitler, where screaming matches between the generals and Hitler were very common about any disagreement of military plans. Some Prussians outright insulted Hitler to his face with no repurcussions. Heinz Guderian famous for his push in the Ardennes which led to the quick defeat of France, screamed at and insulted Hitler so much that the bystanders separated the two men. Nevertheless they were still loyal, it was just that it was expected to speak your mind in order to be loyal and effective. You will be hardpressed to find a single bootlicker-prussian general... This is what the Prussian Virtues were about : Honesty, Diligence, Sincerity, Sense of Order, Sense of Duty, Straightforwardness, Reliability, Modesty, Punctuality, Willingless to make Sacrifices, Probity ( yeah, Redlichkeit was a Prussian virtue ) and a few others. Various prussian virtues became german virtues ( due to Prussia`s dominance within Germany ), while others were lost. Prussia was also the most democratic state in Germany aswell as the most socialdemocratic one. Berlin the heart of Prussia was denounced as a red city due to the dominance of the Socialdemocrats. During the Weimar Republic it opposed the Far-right and far-left for the longest, until in 1932 the German Chancellor Franz von Papen ( not a Prussian btw ) overthrew the Prussian state and established a dictatorship ( Preußenschlag ), this allowed the Nazis to quickly takeover power after they gained electoral victories in 1933. Prussia was the heart of the Three Arrow movement and the Iron Front, the Socialdemocrats who opposed Nazism, Communism and Monarchism ( each arrow representing resistance towards one of these ideologies ) aswell as the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold, another socialdemocratic but also christian democratic organization against any domestic extremism ( especially Nazism and Communism ). Prussia was the bulwark of democracy and was called exactly that during the final years of the Weimar Republic. It were Prussians like Otto Braun ( Minister-President of Prussia between 1925-1932 ) that defended Germany against extremism for as long as possible. And it was Prussians like Otto Wels ( Chairman of the Socialdemocratic Party between 1912-1939 ) who not only established a true democratic Republic in Germany but also defended it for as long as possible. It also shouldn`t come as a surprise that both the Communists and the Nazis hated Prussia during the Weimar era because it was the bulwark of German democracy. When Bavaria became a dictatorship between 1923-1924 it was again Prussia which brought it back to a democracy. The concept that Prussian people were all obedient, loyal soldiers who submit to authority is absolutely not true and a French/British stereotype that was sadly imported into Germany. So it really should not be strange at all, but to be expected. Loriot was a normal Prussian, not an outlier. The days were Prussia was a militaristic-monarchist place were the days of Bismarck and pre-Bismarck, but since the 1890s Prussia turned very much into a committed democratic state which was dominated by the SPD and Zentrum party, 2 big pro-democracy parties ( much to the displeasure of the conservative-monarchist elite and the royal family ).

@@Taldram The fact that Prussia was the most social democratic is a misleading statement. In the Empire and during the Weimar Republic, almost everything north of the Main was Prussia. The Free State of Prussia accounts for around 60% of the German population. Prussia also included the huge industrial areas in the Ruhr area, which provided the majority of left-wing voters. One of the Prussian virtues is certainly not being a social democrat but being a monarchist. As early as 1921, there was no longer a majority in the left-liberal spectrum (USPD, SPD, DDP) in the Prussian parliament. The election results are close to the results of the Reichstag elections. The NSDAP election results from the end of the 1920s in the Prussian state parliament are virtually the same as those in the Reichstag. In any case, the “bulwark of democracy” cannot be seen from the election results. Against this background, one can easily see how right-wing the rest of Prussia was, given that the left-wing votes came from the concentrated Ruhr area. The fact that some high-ranking Social Democrats came from Prussia was purely statistically to be expected given the huge share of Prussia's population in Germany. Bavaria was never a dictatorship during the Weimar Republic. What kind of BS are you talking about. In 1923 Hitler attempted a coup, but it failed. The coup d'etat did not extend beyond the Munich city limits. Prussia also had nothing to do with the suppression of the coup. That was the Bavarian state police all alone. However, a well-known Prussian took part in the putsch: General Ludendorff on Hitler's side. Prussia was the seed of the First World War and also the Second World War (and also the war of 1870/71). There's nothing to sugarcoat there. The southern German states of course were always very conservative but never outwardly (!) aggressive. Perhaps, exactly because Prussia's monarchs being more liberal led to the fact that its population could become more nationalistic than in the south.

@@santaclaus0815 Well your comment is a bit inaccurate. It is true that Prussia was a very large state but Prussia ( 62% of territory, 61% of population ), however you are completely wrong that it was the Ruhr valley which provided most left-wing voters. The Ruhr valley, along with the entirety of the Rhineland province was dominated the Catholic Center party. At no election during the entirety of the Weimar Republic did the SPD ever gain more votes than the Zentrum party in Rhenish-Germany... I invite you to look at electoral maps : 1930 : Rhineland-Westphalia is black ( Center ), southern Germany ( but not northern Bavaria ) is black aswell... Everything else is Red, with the exception of East Prussia brown ( Nazi ) and Pomerania ( DNVP ~ Far-right nationalist ). You will find similar maps with the 1928 election, but not 1924 where the DNVP was more popular in eastern Germany. The Left-wing voters were never dominant or numerous in the Rhineland province. That was fiercly under the control of the Christiandemocratic, Conservative, Catholic Center party. Also I never mentioned that Prussian virtues is about Socialdemocracy or Monarchism. My point about the Prussian virtues were something else, i.e. that this attitude that you can speak to power existed since the days of the Soldier-King ( father of Frederick the Great ) who invented the Prussian virtues, he was in particular keen that Prussian generals had freedom of speech so that censorship or otherwise social status would NEVER impede on military plans or otherwise lower effectiveness. That became part of Prussian culture and thus people like Guderian or Loriot exist. Again you seem keen to think most left-wing voters came form the Ruhr valley, but this is clearly not true. The highranking people were born in military or traditional prussian families and in the core-prussian provinces, i.e. ( Königsberg, Berlin ), they were as Prussian as you could get. Adenauer was very much a Rhenish guy, not a Prussian, despite technically being born in the state of Prussia, but naturally the legal and cultural sphere of Prussia is VASTLY different....... No Rhenish person ever considered themselves Prussian just became the Rhineland was technically part of Prussia. The "bullshit" I am talking about is basic history.... That you don`t know about this and so fiercly deny it shows you simply don`t know much about history. Gustav Ritter von Kahr had dictatorial powers as State Comissioner of Bavaria from 1923-1924, I advise you to read up on him. Together with the Minister-President of Bavaria, Eugen von Knilling, aswell as the Commander of the Bavarian Police Hans von Seisser and the General Otto von Lossow they were establishing the Bavarian dictatorship, the law of the Protection of the Republic was already defunct and officially abolished in Bavaria.. They invited tens of thousands of far-right agitators into Bavaria to gather strength. They had complete control over the Bavarian court and were planning to overthrow the Weimar Republic ---> Hitler and his ilk were one of the far-right people they gathered, Hitler however wanted to use von Kahr`s own coup plans against him and planned to overthrow Bavaria and then use their own plans to overthrow Germany, in what is called the Beer Hall Putsch. It failed, Hitler was imprisoned and the same far-right court that the Bavarian dictatorship established decided that Hitler was acting with good intentions, thus he got a very comfortable sentence. It is interresting you know the Beer Hall Putsch but nothing else, not the circumstances, not that Hitler was one of the cronies of the Bavarian dictator, not the plan that Hitler literally tried to overthrow the Bavarian state first and use the Bavarian dictatorship plans for his own plans...... Ultimately read the wikipedia entry for Gustav Ritter von Kahr. It should serve as introduction to the short-lived Bavarian Dictatorship of 1923-1924. Both the English and German wikipedia entry clearly state that he had dictatorial powers aswell as the conspiracy to overthrow the Weimar Republic. In German this era was called "Ordnungszelle", if you can read german look at this wiki entry aswell or just google translate it. I assure you, no BS there......

@@Taldram Prussia was not a left-wing stronghold at all. In these federal states, the SPD consistently had better election results than in Prussia: 1. Braunschweig 2. Bremen 3. Hamburg 4. Hesse 5. Lip 6. Lübeck 7. Meckl.-Schwerin 8. Meckl.-Strelitz 9. Saxony 10. Schaumburg Lippe Here are the SPD's top election results (Prussia is not among them): Place - % - Year - Country 1:58.6 - 1919 - Coburg 2: 58.5 - 1919 - Saxe-Altenburg 3: 58.0 - 1918 - Anhalt 4: 54.1 - 1919 - Schaumburg-Lippe 5: 54.1 - 1919 - Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt 6: 52.5 - 1919 - Lübeck 7: 52.2 - 1919 - Saxe-Meiningen 8:50.5 - 1919 - Hamburg 9: 50.2 - 1918 - Mecklenburg-Strelitz 10: 50.1 - 1919 - Lippe 11: 49.2 - 1928 - Schaumburg-Lippe 12: 48.7 - 1921 - Lübeck 13:48.6 - 1919 - Mecklenburg-Strelitz 14: 47.9 - 1919 - Mecklenburg-Schwerin 15: 46.2 - 1927 - Braunschweig "Again you seem keen to think most left-wing voters came form the Ruhr valley, but this is clearly not true." >>> it's true, Westphalia and the Rhine Province were ruled by the DZP. The middle areas were dominated by the SPD and in old Prussia (eastern third) the population was far to the right: Posen-West Prussia: DNVP Upper Silesia: DZP East Prussia: DNVP Pomerania: DNVP Loriot grew up in Berlin, in the older part of Prussia. The election results therefore support my statement that Prussia (i.e. the old Prussia, what I mean is let's say within the borders of 1815-1865) was right-wing conservative, not social democratic. Gustav Ritter von Kahr had extensive powers but was the one who put down Hitler's putsch, not Prussia. He was so “right-wing” that he died in a concentration camp. He came to power in protest against the termination of the Ruhr Battle. So you can debate whether this was a right-wing or left-wing motivation. In response to Kahr, Reich President Friedrich Ebert declared a state of emergency throughout the Reich at the national level and transferred executive power to the Reichswehr Minister Otto Geßler. Both were not Prussians but came from southwest Germany. Talking about a Bavarian dictatorship seems quite pointless, since Bavaria was not an independent state at the time but just a federal state. Yes, Bavaria had special rights, but it was not a sovereign country, for example with its own currency.

And the music ends when the maid opens the door - brilliant!

Nope. It's not Maurice Ravel Bolero, it's composed by Mantovani. Mantovani lived 1905-1980, and the track is relatively new - it was composed about the time when the sketch was made. The track is called "Piccolo Bolero" (the small Bolereo) and Mantovani deliberately copied the style of Ravel's Bolero.Rumor has it that Loriot chose that track for the same reason Mantovani composed it: To play a "Bolero-styled" track, but avoid licensing problems.

What are we doing to the world? There are countries with much more importance. So what can Germany's policies do to the world?

That's a story of the kind with the "Cow Elsa"... Hallervorden, is now the "Grand Signeur" of German comedy. And I'm glad we still have him with us. He will be 90, next year...

Loriot copied (like Mr. Bean), in this case from Jacques Tati. See Monsieur Hulot on vacation.
