The German accent makes it even more hillarious :))

"I'll write a play about you but don't blame me if it's shit." I laughed so hard. 1:15

i read the book this is accurate

5:40 "I don't have a magic mirror. Have you been watching porn again, Mephisto? - Ehhh, I'm the devil, that is part of my job description." Brilliant XD

This is one of the funniest, most creative, attention grabbing video I've watched. You rock dude.

"but faust was so high on testosterone which is why it's totally natural when on the second date they talk about... religion"

Faust:58 Gretchen:14 ......oh okay

This is pure gold. LOL!! Just finished reading Faust and was left feeling confused and wondering if I had miss interpreted it all. Watched this video and come to find out, nope, I did get it. LOL! This was some great work and comedy.

This hit it so hard on the head. Accuracy 10/10

"But the morning after pill, a prayer, doesn't help. She is pregnant." Too funny

Who needs literature when you've got this guy!

I think this is the most stereotypically German video I've ever seen

I started using these videos for my German Lit class. My professor started showing them before we do our class discussions. Haha. Everyone seems to be hooked on them!

"OK! Sign in blood, get your toothbrush and off we dash!"

This is actually my favourite thing on youtube.

7:07 "im so high on testosterone" which is why inevitably at the secone date they talk about................. RELIOGION. lmfao

I read the book, but only after watching this do I understand what I read about

the small bulldog picture at 3:42 makes this story a whole lot better

These videos are simply so comical and enchanting. This is easily my joint-favourite channel alongside School of Life. I'm sure the videos will continue to lighten young hearts and inspire much book-reading...

Thank you for this! My kid is stuck at home because of the Corona quarantine and this video is a lifesaver! Perfect for homeschooling. Danke, eine leidende Mutter!

You're my hero.

I thoroughly enjoyed the merriment with which this guy spoke, he was so fun!! I love his German accent lol

OMG You just saved my future and all my life for the second time!!! Thanks a lot man! it is really great what you are doing right here!!!

oh my goodness you are hilarious! this is the second time you've saved my hide on classic lit. thank you so much!

Oh my god, is it a dream? An english version!

LOL his 'invoking the spirits stance' Brilliant!!!

Seriously, I am showing my whole class this video after the quiz. Its two and half hours so I am sure we can fit it in somewhere. Pure gold!

Well done, well done. Hilarious, and helpful at the same time. A great summary.

I love these! I am not a big reader, but had to take a world literature class. Extremely helpful just as a baseline, so I can at least tell whats going on in the text.

Beautiful, a awesome creation, out of the world.

This is hilarious! Thank you.

This is so immensely funny. I'm a big fan!

"The morning after pill- uh prayer." fhifhawefhaifb

Danke!!!!

I’m writing a play based on Faust. This is a surprisingly good starting point

this is amazing

loll well done bravo ~ Roarr!

Love your accent bro. Ever since I watched the show Dark, I fucking love the way Germans sound.

5:10 An Ingourious Basterds reference?

This so funny. Timeless classic.

Pillify and villories was a nice touch.

Love it with the German accent...ha ha ha...this is great!!! You really rock!! Wonder what Goethe thinks of it?! :D :D :D

I might be the only one, but I would prefer an accurate depiction of the play. Thanks for sharing though

good!

Wow this is pretty much exactly what happens in the musical Spring Awakening. Funny that Melchior admits to reading it in the show

This is a really great video. The only problem is that the echo makes it a little difficult to understand what he's saying every few words or so.

Great explanation ! Hahaha

This is so well made.

Haha, bravo!

Comment section: thanks for the help for my literature class Me: Liszt boi

Alright time to tuck into this for my Auden class... still putting off reading Robinson Crusoe hahahaha

The Faust LEGO set looks great

Hey...!!! what's up with the subliminal picture of the dog???

Lovely! We thank you for this funny and marvellous abbreviation and densification of the tragedy`s first part. :) Danke schön! `FAUST` by JOHANN WOLFGANG GOETHE is one of the greatest poetic and philosophical works of whole mankind. By the way: If you want to read `Faust` (part I and II) by GOETHE in an English translation (there are many ones), then I highly recommend the translation "by" Walter Arndt including interpretive notes and much more, an edition which appeared at Norton & Company publishing. It is very close to the German-language original in terms of content and faithfulness to the words and manages to convey simultaneously rhythm and rhyme (with the latter two, especially rhyme, being less important). As - with respect to the original - nearness and mirror-image-ness is all what translation is about, do always look out for good and very good translations (a mediocre or bad one would be, by terms, a contradiction within itself) when it comes to studying world-literature or reading literature in general. You ask why I put `by` in quotation marks above ("by" Walter Arndt)? Because ORIGINAL and NON-ORIGINAL, lingual ORIGINAL and lingual TRANSLATION are a UNITY. My definition of `Übersetzung` / `translation`: "Eine Übersetzung ist jene Sprache, die ein transformiertes Spiegelbild einer anderen Sprache ist." / "A translation is that language which is a transformed mirror image of another language." Each of the two terms - original and translation - implicates, unspoken, its opposite. They can never be divided.They are Yin and Yang and Yin/Yang. A lingual original and all of its translations in all other languages, pre-existing as ideas within the original itself, are a unity. A translation is given with the original, through the original and within the original. So, that means: The originator of a linguistic original is, at once, the originator of all (ideal) translations of this original in all other languages. (He is not due to his own abilities and due to his own performance but because of the universal law that a linguistic original and all of its translations in all other languages, pre-existing within the original as ideas, are a unity, and that every translation is given with the original, through the original and in the original.) If someone speaks in a concrete, specific language, he speaks at once in all languages at the same time. Okay? Very simple... Translation as a process, i.e. the translating or transferring of a linguistic phenomenon from one concrete specific language into a linguistic phenomenon of another concrete specific language, is primarily and in principle not a creative process but a manifesting of what is already given, namely the translation pre-existing as an idea within the original. A translation is not the result of translating, but it is just vice versa: the translation initiates the translating, it brings the translating on its way. Translating is a giving-out of the given. A translator outputs, a translator gives out what is already given to him (namely the translation). So, if you are taking a book from your shelves, a book which contains a translation of any language: which name will you read on the cover in fat printed letters? Of course, the name of the author of the original. And right so! If you ask, for example, a person in Germany or in France or in Japan: "Who is the author of `Harry Potter`?" - then you know the answer. And my answer would also be or is, respectively: "Joanne K. Rowling". And I´ve read the Harry Potter - books in German translation... If you`re really interested in great literature, then read both parts of `FAUST` by GOETHE (in original German language or in a good or very good translation). Study it, slowly and intensely, and let it infuse your life. This poetic and philosophical, inexhaustible masterpiece belongs to the most supreme of culture that you can ever experience - like, for example, the divine musical works of Johann Sebastian Bach or the timeless dramas of William Shakepeare, and so on. It transcends by far everything that is merely earthly and wordly. Alle Sprachen sind eins in der Sprache. / All languages are one within language. / Toutes les langues ne font qu'une dans la langue. Grüße aus Deutschland / Greetings from Germany / Salutations d`Allemagne Michael Hontheim

Can someone pls give me a link to the original story ?

@Sommer's World Lit to Go !!! 6:10 (CC/Captions On) I clearly heard and understood the "start stalking" BUT the auto English translation CC got "talking Beijing"; which is (A) funny and (B) might confuse those deaf or hard of hearing using captions⁉️🤣🙄 I turned on captions in hopes of getting the correct story character name spellings(little luck there). AND I turned on captions because I was only getting %98-99 percent of your words(much better than my learning French, for sure🙊🤐). Your German-english[Deutschland-english(?)] is very good. The instances of mangled captions translations could help show you where your english might be a tiny bit difficult for others to understand(matched where I was not fully understanding; < %2, still an A+). Now your expressions and humor seem to translate well indeed, and as for me some of the CC mistranslations that added another layer of funny. Your "About" page does ask for language input so ==> CC TRANSCRIPTIONS or CC REVIEW would help! This video is great, and the way you tell this story is very funny,,, Subscribed ✔️ . Me: American with extremely well educated British parents yet raised in back-country USA, having lived or traveled much of wide range that is North American english, where stretching and skewing the English-english language into American is an art form😜.

When youre an English speaker doing the Abitur and you always wished there were an English Sommers Weltliterature bla bla

3:10 I think it wasn t poison it was just a lethal dose of alcohol ? Am I mistaken ?

3:42 the secret frame!

Damn
