Kika (Kinderkanal) is a German tv channel for kids. Kindheitshelden = childhood heroes.
Santa with sand refers to the Sandmännchen, the toast refers to Bernd das Brot, the mouse to Sendung mit der Maus, and the dandelion to Löwenzahn (all shows that run/ran on Kika)
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
yep, came here to write this exact comment :)
Ah, danke. Bei den ersten zwei stand ich auf dem Schlauch 😂
yeah@@m.h.6470
@@tweety77hfich auch 😂
What you call a sliced loaf of bread doesn’t even qualify as bread in Germany and it only appears in form of a sandwich or a toast over here. No one actually eats it the way you would eat bread here.
It doesn't seem to register with him that the problem isn't the bread being sliced but the bread itself being cardboard :D
Thank you! It is about the bread not the slicing. In Germany we tend to eat bread made from less processed flour (closer to or exactly wholemeal flour) containing oilseeds, seeds, and whole grains. In conclusion german bread is much firmer, denser and stronger in flavour.
@oklaftrahlegne7298 this. Sadly, much of the bread you can get at a bakery isn't that buch better. For a big part of my childhood, we had a bakery with handmade bread nearby (with cheap prices). I can't stand that pale taste of much of the standard bread you can get, but don't have the money to buy it from other (very expensive) self baking bakerys
actually we call that kind of bread toast bread and mostly used for hot sandwiches. for other sandwiches you eat normal/ real bread or rolls (Brötchen)
it's a show called "Bernd das brot" here in germany
I live in Germany and the fact you can literally throw a sledgehammer on the wall and it doesn’t break says that Germany cares about their people 🇩🇪
More about caring about the house xD you have to be aware of the sledgehammer bouncing of back into your face 🤣
Gipskartonwände gibts auch bei uns genug.
@gonzo2495
Normalerweise ist drunter aber eine OSB-Beplankung, in den USA haben aber Innenwände und die Innenseite von Außenwänden NUR Gipskarton.
@@Thre1152 Die haben da nur 2 Lagen Gipskarton drin? lol Herrlich.
as a German person I feel an obligation to explain the memes..
3:30 we have the sandman, Bernd the bread (yes, we're THAT German), the mouse from Sendung mit der Maus and Löwenzahn (dandylion) on the kid's TV program "Kika" (kinderkanal, children's channel)
4:43 lamp shower translates to Duschlampe which would sound like "du Schlampe" which translates to "you bitch"
7:20 ich_iel means irl (ich I'm echten Leben) this subreddit has a habit of translating meme formats literally for additional humor
9:08 I think Hausis is supposed to mean Hausmeister as in janitor (meaning the mods)
9:39 in Germany you can drink light alcohol with 16. I hate it, I don't drink alcohol, but that's the way it is.
The picture is either apple juice, fake, or irresponsible
it's not illegal to drink outside of your house but if people noticed young children drinking they would definitely talk to the parents
10:43 ok that has to be fake. nobody can be that stupid to put China and Australia in Europe and to think that Russia is that small and Poland is that big
12:23 it would also be bad for the climate
13:05 we don't make sandwiches, we schmier das Brot
in Germany it would be a sin to call American sandwiches bread. they are sandwich slices, nothing more. I don't like every bread here in Germany but some are quite tasty, whereas sandwich slices taste of little
Pretty sure 9:08 is supposed to be a literal translation from english meaning "Ich_Iel Homies be like here we go again"
@@cyrx-glg-1675exactly! And ich_iel translates to me_irl.
Jup Home wie Haus und das is mit rein
Maybe I’m taking this a bit too far, but isn’t the lamp shower meme actually a reference to the .. gas showers ? That’s why the german reaction in the picture is so grim. 🤷♀️
@@xuxa1015 exactly
You know what you need? A good German friend sitting next and explaining to you.
The next German is statistically nearer than the next dollar bill.
May not help. I've been living in South Africa for 25 years and I don't get half the memes.
i am german and dont get most of those memes. you have to be a certain age and social group as well.
Hi, you found the guy, me
usually the comments explains the meme aswell
@@robopechai understand all of them
For your explanation. A 'shower lamp' has the german word 'Duschlampe' which with different permutation/pronounciation becomes an insult by saying 'Du schlampe' -> 'You whore'
So much for the Shower meme :) No german will go tell that to their mothers. *flies away*
I thought it was a reference to the dangers of taking a shower in German ruled areas 80 years ago.
Danke, ich hatte es nicht kapiert 😂😂😂
@@emawood5518 ich auch nicht. Drum bin ich direkt in die Kommentare 🤣🤣🤣
More "you slut", but yeah.
Ich dachte auch das wär irgendeine KZ Referenz xD
As a German I genuinely love these reactions of Americans to German stuff it's funny to me and very entertaining! Thanks for this it's amazing keep it up! Love from Germany ❤️
German houses don't typically have dry wall, not in the sense your thinking of at the very least. Depending on where exactly the wall is, it is most likely you will be hitting against either full on steel reinforced concrete in critical load bearing spots or in the majority of places aerated concrete blocks. Doesn't really make a difference when concerning your hand. They are covered in wallpaper without a big air gap to punch into, so yes it is literally like punching into concrete, even if it doesn't look like naked concrete. On the outside you then additionally typically have stone wool or something insulating like that, and a protective and decorative brick wall infront of that again. And no you shouldn't punch those bricks either. Again typically red brick or something similar in strength, so you are not going to do anything to that wall.
We can't call American sandwitch "bread", our bread is something sacred to us Germans😂
Truly, you won't even find toast bread like that in the states. The toast bread here in Austria is more like a styrofoam loaf. I guess Wonder Bread in the states is shaped like that, but it is as soft and squishy as anything of flour and yeast can be. Actually, when you toast many of the breads in the states they have a very nice texture and flavor, but not all, for sure. I'm talking about ones that you can get from a bakery section of a store. Smith's in Nevada used to carry a rustic sun-dried tomato bread that was to die for. ...... Okay, maybe I should qualify that by saying that I haven't had bread in the states in at least 10 years.
We have like 3 milion types of bred over here and some like the Brezel you can't even get everywhere
Weißbrot
@@CabinFever52idk what you're rambling about, that bread to us is low tier on bread not only cuz it's vile and flavourless but also because it's so highly unhealthy to eat. At that point just eat chips instead of that type of bread. Whole grain bread taste soooo much better and is also very healthy for you
@@UnkownWonders , idk what you're talking about. I have never eaten USA Wonder Bread, but you can pretty much poke it in the grocery stores and it will behave like doing the same to the Pillsbury Dough Boy (maybe you aren't familiar with those ads, but he is squishy). But thank you for suggesting that my point of view is "rambling"... Have a nice day.
“I know German houses are made from brick, but what are your walls made of?” 🤔
Brick
American walls are made from wood or sometimes even harden cardboard 💀😎
The Infinity Stone XD
Not also brick... my House in Germany, the walls are made with concrete. 😉 They could easy broke your Hand 😁👍
@@Moondragon1234same in Poland. However mein has decorational layer of concrete.
(second meme) As a german i too needed a while to figure it out. The pictures are intentionally weirdly chosen. It's all shows from the childrens channel.
Top left is the sandman, a very old show that many kids watch before bedtime.
Top right, the channel is not active at night, but there are a few episodes of "Bernd das Brot" (Bernd the bread) looping during the night.
Bottom left is the Sendung mit der Maus (show with the mice). An educational childrens programm runing since before the berlin wall fell and still geting a new episode every sunday.
Bottom right is Löwenzahn, a mix of educational and detective show.
Everyone in Germany knows these shows since they run longer then many can think. These shows are running on publicly funded channels, therefore only care about entertaining and educating children and running completely ad free.
Show with the mouse. Mice wäre Mehrzahl (Plural).
14:40 the joke is that the sentence makes no gramatically sense in german
walls here are made out of brickstone or concrete
Famously idolized by ZZ Top in their hit "Concrete and Steel"
In some cases even steel reinforced concrete. I have friends who often hit steel when drilling a hole :)
Sometimes you get drywall too though - but that’s not super common.
That‘s just partly correct. Most older houses are made out of bricks and yes, also the inner walls are made out of bricks. But many of the newer houses also uses drywall for the inner walls. So you never know until you punch them 😂
indeed, and on those solid brick walls there is usually a thin layer of some sort of chalk-mix applied to make them smooth so they can be painted.
do you mean brickstone like watery water?
Suggestion: Stream your reactions live on twitch. German people could explain the memes live and you would not have to wait for comments on youtube.
This. Please do this. Those memes are just way too specific to tackle with google translator ^^
As a German I don't need to do that
Being oblivious/unknowledgeable and asking naiv questions is his way of generating traffic for the algorythm. He could also just google some stuff, but then we wouldn't write as much in the comments.
I find that it's more fun this way and somewhat smarter too because one thinks about those things more, over a longer period of time, before eventually getting an answer and connecting the dots.
@@avysark2034 ..hes US American...
"Löwenzahn" was the best and most interesting series as a kid. Awesome.
For those who don’t understand the 2nd meme, KiKa is a tv channel, the Santa image represents a show called „sand Männchen“
The bread image is firstly a bread out of a german store called Rewe, and it represents a show called „Bernd das Brot“ . It always comes at Sendeschluss (meaning at night one episode will keep repeating)
The 3rd image is easy, it’s a knowledge show called die Maus.
Die Maus often has some little adventures between the episodes including her friend der Elefant.
The 4th image is a Löwenzahn, in Germany it’s a show about a dog with white black fur that goes on adventures, I can’t tell everything since I didn’t see it in a long time.
(Written by a German)
As a german I approve❤
😂 It's not the fact that it's sliced that makes it American Sandwich-"bread" , it is the fact that it's white, full of sugar, doesn't really have a crust etc... that gives it its name. You probably know alreasy that Germans are very proud about their bread😅. This is not usually considered to be bread but called "Toast".
No, its simply the size, it doesnt use the american ingridients, nor these amounts of sugar.
Actually the distinguishing factor between German toast and American Ssndwich bread is the size of the slices. American Sandwich slices are way bigger.
@@PattisKarriereKartenthis. Also you can’t put toast in a sandwichmaker but you can put sandwich in a toaster. Hubby learned it the hard way, he’s banned from our kitchen since the cheese incident…
@@wolf310ii actually it is. The size has nothing to do.
As much as we eat asian food here thats still different than in asia we eat american bread thats not the same as in america.
its their food but made for our tastings.
thats literally what every country does to food in other lands. make it taste better for the people there
same here in Italy, one thing is "pane" (bread"), another is "toast" (sliced factory made bread). they are different things. You have lunch and dinner with bread on the table, you use toast bread for toasts (usually with ham and cheese, toasted)
Left kid drinks a Apfel-Schorle, right kid drinks pure apple juice.
Looks like beer? Yes, it does actually.
It also looks like something else...
@@oklaftrahlegne7298 Yeah, I see what you did here!
It definitely looks like...something else in various states of dehydration. ^^
"Apfel Schorle" is a mixture of apple juice and sparkling water. A "Schorle" is the name we have for any drink, that is mixed with sparkling water. Some people like a "Weißwein Schorle" (white wine "Schorle"), but under no circumstances should you drink an "Orangenschorle". That just tastes like spoiled orange juice.
or alchohol free beer
If you watched the original video this is from you can see them a few seconds later with a water in their hands and not the beers
at 3:35 the pictures do mean characters of kika, a childrens show in germany.
The characters meant are:
1.Der Sandmann (Sandman)
2.Bernd das Brot (Bernd the Bread)
3.Die Sendung mit der Maus (The series with the mouse)
4.Löwenzahn (Dandelion)
Google the german name and look at a translated explanation
From the age of 14, you can drink alcohol up to 15% at home and with permission of your Parents. From the age of 16 you can also drink outside etc.
Ryan, please google german bread types. I wanna see you reacting to our bread. Then you might understand why we don't call your "bread" bread but sandwich toast.
I actually think he already knows about it, it's a common known fact/culture difference and he just plays dumb.
I enjoy his videos but sometimes his reactions don't seem to be real.
Or american card board.
gute idee
Actually its not common knowledge at all. Met so many Americans and Australians who have no idea what bread might be. They only thinl of pumpernickel, but don't get the idea of hundreds kinds of German bread :(
For people who actively learn about Germany (and he has many Videos about Germany) he probably has heard of it before. Of course people don't have to know about it if they know little about Germany, but if you look up the most common differences between Germany and USA for example, you will stumble across this fact. I just wanted to point out that he may already knows about it.
petition for Ryan to do one of those geography tests where you have to klick on countries in Europe.
I subscribe for this 😂
Signed
Ez
Judging by what I have already seen from him, he wouldn't qualify as a complete fool. I actually think he would be in the same range as the average European. He definitively wouldn't make it into one of those "Look at them, they are sooo dumb" shows.
ich_iel has this weird habit of literally translating English slang words into German in a way that doesn't make sense until you translate it back.
So, in this case, "hausis" is supposed to mean "homies" (home=haus), even though "hausis" is not a German word. That's also why translate apps often fail on these captions.
The good thing about walls being steel and concrete is that when theres a fire, it stays contained to that room or apartment. Since large buildings with multiple stories and tenants are much more common in europe, you dont want the whole thing burning down because 1 person living in the first floor fell asleep with a lit cigarette
The ich_iel subreddit is filled with "wrong" german words and grammar, because people transliterate english words to german, and sometimes keep the english grammar.
the word "Hausis" means "homies" (I've seen it as "Zuhausies" or "Heimies" too), because "home" means "Heim" / "Zuhause" / "Haus" in german. The rest of the text is completely english grammar (so incorrect in german), with the words just translated.
That's actually so cool!
I'm gonna start calling my german friend my hausi
Ich habs echt nicht kapiert 😅 Danke für die Erklärung!
@@AlexEEZthat'S what we called the school janitor (from Hausmeister)
@say_whuat
And "Mei-Meis" are "memes", because "me" is "mir / mich / mein" in german.
(Also "ich_iel" is the translation of "me_irl" - "in real life" = "im echten Leben")
Meaning “ich_ich Homies be like” and “oh shit here we go again”
Bro you need to stream these, everyone in chat would explain it immediately.
What our walls are made of? They are friggin massive concrete as it should be! 😂
to Timestamp 2:55 -- First: Santa means = Sandmännchen, 2. means = Bernd das Brot, 3. means = Sendung mit der Maus, 4. means = Löwenzahn on TV
It's always funny to see Ryan struggle to translate a word back to English that has been translated literally into German by the ich_iel community. Like homies ares translated to Hausis. Which isn't a real word in German
And the second meme was about German kids TV shows (the Sandman, Bernd das Brot, Sendung mit der Maus (show with the mouse) and Löwenzahn)
hmmm ... on the first picture i thought it could be also "Weihnachtsmann und Co KG"
But Hausis is a short form for homework in german tho
@@stefanschleidt3789Is this a TV Show in Kika? Anyway, there is probably no German TV show about Weihnachtsmann, Santa Claus or Nikolaus that would be even remotely as well known as "Sandmann" - and there's a lot of Sand in this picture. we're looking here at a reference to a German children TV show that is famous enough to be listed together with "Sendung mit der Maus" and "Löwenzahn" - so, in my opinion that's surely "Unser Sandmännchen"
If you call them "Heimies", it will remind of _Mini-Max._
@@tobyk.4911I assumed it was Beutolomäus, that’s the only kika show with a Santa I know
Walls here in germany are either made of stone or drywall but behind the drywall we mostly have OSB (wooden plates) wich helps to stiff out the building and it makes the walls way more robust to resist angry punches :D
This heavily depends when your house was built and how it was built.
We don't have any drywall+OSB in our house. We know a couple that has the upper floor remodeled, after they got kids. They've built it themselves and used drywall and OSB but it's terrible for noise insulation, just like American houses.
@@BlueFlash215 depends how its done in older houses its difficult to get a good noise insulation because the most parts are already constructed and if you just place some walls the sound can still easily travel through the floor or other not noise insulated objects. But if its done correctly it is indeed quiet. ( Sure massive building structure does more for conversation noise canceling )
My house (older) has brick walls. There was a soft wall to divide a room made from OSB and a wooden frame (which I found our later). I tried it with a sledge hammer and didn't get more then a small dent. I needed to saw a hole into it so that I could use more tools to break it down. Took me hours until everything was gone.
I didn't even know that any Housing construction used drywall, if it's not being put in later to maybe split a room or something. I only know homes with solid Brick walls.
@@itskyansaro My old appartment had one drywall. But that was only a sound barrier in front of the hard wall of the neighbouring appartement.
fun fact "The best thing since sliced bread" is kinda everything because sliced bread is the reason american bread sucks. The amount of preservatives and sugars in american bread came to make sliced bread sellable.
The Kika Kindheitshelden are: - Der Sandmann (when he puts sand in your kid eyes you will sleep)
- Bernd das Brot (it is a bread which speaks and is very depressed)
- Sendung mit der Maus (The mouse is only the 'Maskottchen', you can watch this every sunday and you can learn many things there)
- Löwenzahn (You learn many things (e. g. flowers, smartphones, computers, police, ...) with the main character 'Fritz Fuchs'
The kids are not drinking alcohol, looks like a cup of Apfelschorle (Apple juice with water) 😄🍻
Sprudelwasser um exakt zu sein
@@the_real_THlNGgenau
Sprudelwasser = sparkling water
The ich bin ein Berliner meme was funny cause a “Berliner” is a German Pastry similar to a doughnut. So it was pretty funny when John F. Kennedy said “All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of this city of West Berlin. Therefore, as a free man, I am proud to be able to say: Ich bin ein Berliner". Which also said I’m a doughnut. I wasn’t alive back then and my father wasn’t neither, he was on the wrong side anyway, but this speech is pretty famous. And the comment was funny cause if he held that speech in Hamburg (the second biggest city in Germany) he would have said “Ich bin ein Hamburger”.
If I said something wrong feel free to correct me. I’m a 13 year old girl and still in school so I just explained why and how I know about this.🙂
Fun fact: in Berlin itself that pastry is called an“Pfannkuchen“ (pancake) and in the south it’s also called „Krapfen“ - there are probably more names.
From the context it is clear what he meant though and was totally correct German. There are some good videos explaining the misconception that he had said „I’m a jelly filled doughnut“ but that it was correctly understood to mean „I am a person of Berlin“
@@pascalnitsche8746Agree I just wanted to write basically the same.
As a non German, who 'witnessed' (via TV) the quote, your comment is pretty much how many Brits understood it at the time.
the joke is, that the person thought, if he was in hamburg, he would have said "ich bin ein hamburger." and that is funny, because a hamburger is a food item. but the actual joke is, that the person did not know that a berliner is a food item too!
Well, the trouble is, over the years there has come up this myth that what Kennedy said was wrong. Or that people understood the wrong thing from it. Which is not true. What he said was correctly phrased and everyone understood perfectly what was meant. It just happens to be that the same word is also used for a pastry similar to a doughnut in parts of Germany.
As for the "Kindheitshelden":
All of them are TV-shows for Kids
1) I don´t know
2) "Bernd das Brot" a Speaking loaf of Bread, with human attributes
3) "Sendung mit der Maus", some sort of Science show for Kids
3) "Löwenzahn", another sort of science show for kids
Another one, the one about JFK:
A Berliner is:
a) someone who lives in Berlin
b) some sort of a Donut (not the same, but similiar)
So, if JFK would have hold his speech elsewhere, he would have told us, he is a donut.
The same goes for Hamburg (someone who lives in Hamburg, and the best selling product of McDonalds)
Hausis is just slang, roughly translated, it would mean: "ich_iel(german equivalent to me_irl) people be like: ah sh*t, here we go again"
"it's better to be pissed off then pissed on" 😂 here in Germany we say "besser arm dran, als Bein ab" which literally translates to "better to have the arm connected to oneself, than the leg detached". But "arm dran" also has the double meaning of "being in a bad situation".
Isn’t it: “Besser arm drank, als Arm ab?”
Kenne es nur als "Besser arm dran als Arm ab"
Ach das ist doch Jacke wie Hose 😅 lieber arm dran als arm ab ist meiner Meinung richtig.Wobei sich das arm dran auf Armut bezieht lieber kein Geld als kein arm quasi
@@ikarus2379 ist eigentlich nicht egal, das ist ein wortspiel und das verliert jede Bedeutung, damit jeden witz, wenn man die schlüsselwörter austauscht. Deshalb gehen in synchros auch sehr viele wortwitze einfach verloren, weil man es eben nicht einfach übersetzen kann, ist hier fast dasselbe
Arm dran means being poor because arm also means poor and dran means being
A lot of people have already commented on the kennedy meme. While there is a doughnut like pastry called Berliner, it is not called that way in Berlin. And since Kennedy's speech was in Berlin, pretty much nobody there would have thought he is thinking he is a pastry. The joke with Hamburg still works nicely though
Ach so. Ich dachte weil er dann ein Hamburger wäre
i think the joke also is that the comment comes from a non-german person, finding it funny, that he would call himself a hamburger then, a food item, not knowing that a berliner is a food item too!
Not only in berlin they are called pfannkuchen
In the whole of east germany they are called pfannkuchen too, just like the inventor called them himself because he fried them in a big pan
he was from berlin, so as another cook book printed his recipe they called it "Berliner Pfannkuchen" in it
which west germany shortened to berliner
while berlin & east germany kept pfannkuchen
@@prodbysenyes, and the Hamburger was invented when a Hamburger Steak made from cheap grounded up beef cuts (now called Burger Pattie) was served between two slices of bread so that it can be eaten without any cutlery by the Hamburg habor workers.
So the hamburger got his name from the Hamburger Steak it contains.
Alle Berliner sind mit Marmelade gefüllt 😄
About JFK: He said in his speach "Ich bin ein Berliner" which translates: I am a donutlike dessert. His mistake was using the article 'ein', because in german you don't use it, if you want to point out which town you're from. Usually you would say 'Ich komme/bin aus Berlin' which is 'I am from Berlin', but you could also say 'Ich bin Berliner.' like you might say I'm a New Yorker. In English you use ther article in German you don't. More confusion: in Berlin you don't even call the dessert Berliner, but Pfannkuchen (which is pancake). It looks and tastes pretty much like donuts. Just without the hole.
9:40 yes it is illegal. You can drink alcohol since 14 years old with permission of your parents.
Our walls are, as you correctly stated, made from bricks. And on the inside of the houses they are „verputzt“ which basically means that we smear loads of plaster on them to get them smooth and even. Punching a wall in a german house is a very bad idea indeed XD
Plus behind the "Putz" there is often a wooden board about half an inch thick.
a lot of buildings are build with concrete too
Some Walls are Made of concret ans some are just hollow (still hurts)
A lot of porous concrete (which I to this day only knew as "Ytong", which apparently is just a brand name for it) as well. Basically spongy concrete bricks. Less than half the density of normal concrete, so even huge bricks are quite easy to move around. If you're Mike Tyson or Eddie Hall, you could probably punch a hole in them as well, steel capped boots might leave a dent, but they are definitly 99% child proof 😅
In my upper floor i have walls from Rigips like the americans. But in ground floor i tried to fix the skirting (fussbodenleiste) with nails and got sparks and the nail flying around. Had to glue it.
Hello, here to answer your questions/provide context
2:06 - You already said it, we have brick walls. Sometimes our inner walls which aren't statically relevant are made out of wood covered in plasterboard
2:56 - Those are oversimplified representations of TV shows we watched as children. The text above specifically mentions KIKA, which stands for "Kinderkanal", a TV station for kids.
So there was:
- one show about Santa and his talking sack experiencing the christmas time together
- one show about a depressed loaf of bread called "Bernd" and his friends
- one show called "Sendung mit der Maus" (show with the mouse) which was educational and explained things like "What does a carpenter do" or "How does a door lock work" etc.
- and lastly a show called "Loewenzahn" (dandelion) which pictured the life of some dude named Peter Lustig who always happened to come across something interesting and, once again, educational.
4:38 - I'm not 100% sure on that one, maybe the title provides some context. But my best guess is that the translation of shower lamp would be "Duschlampe". Now that's a word we used to trick other kids back in elementary school, since "Du Schl*mpe" (the same word but with a space added) means "you wh*re"
6:40 - 1) It's called Hamburg, not Hamburg. (your second attempt was closer to being correct. You pronounce the a like you'd pronounce the u in "pun", but you pronounce the u like oo in "food")
2) If he was in Hamburg, he would've said "Ich bin ein Hamburger" - I am a Hamburger. You know? Like the food?
8:27 - the german subreddit ich_iel likes translating english memes word for word but in a literal way. Hard to explain. So "homies" gets translated to "Hausis" (home = haus). That's why your translation app wasn't able to understand. It basically says "Ich_iel homies be like: Aw shit, here we go again", referring to them knowing, that you'll giggle over their memes.
9:50 - the alcohol laws are a little more complex. So until you're 14 it's illegal to buy alcohol and to consume it in public. Once you're 14 you still can't buy alcohol, but you're allowed to consume it in public if your parents are with you and allow it. Once you're 16 you can buy "soft" alcohol like beer and wine and consume it on your own and once you're 18 you can buy and drink whatever, whenever and wherever you like
13:07 - well, germany loves it's bread. And what we call bread is far from toast. It's the darker, rounder, healthier kind of bread. So to differentiate, this is american sandwich bread, I guess. (Going full circle to the heart attacks meme)
14:30 - You're "infiltrating" the subreddit by reacting to the content. You're spying on them.
Hope this helped. XOXO
I'd say 6:40 isn't the entire truth it's only 50%. The other thing is that in some parts of Germany a "Berliner" is the name of a food (I think it's doughnut in english) that has many different names depending on the region. in bavaria it's called "Krapfen", in Berlin it's called "Pfannkuchen", etc. Hamburg is a city in which the doughnut(?) is called Berliner so no matter whether he said ich bin ein Berliner or ich bin ein Hamburger, both would've been something to eat
Well, then the joke about it being a good thing that he wasn't in Hamburg doesn't make too much sense, does it? I feel like it's about the international audience and everyone recognizing "hamburger" as something you order at McDonalds, while only germans know what a Berliner is. Good point though, I did miss that.
4:38 Maybe it has something to do with Na#i Germany and the light maybe symbolising the hatch that gets opened to dump the "chemicals" into the showers
13:07 you have different sizes of sandwich bread. American is much bigger. I think that the joke is really American Sandwich are made in Germany.
I think "Schlampe" is actually "slut" in english whereas "whore" would translate to "Hure" in german
Anyways thank you for explaining it to him
I love that he doesn’t get the second meme ….Santa playing in the sand is the show “der sandman” that we watched late at night before going to bed, the sliced bread is referring to the show “Bernd das Brot” and is like a late night show that ran on a loop on the children channel so the channel didn’t just had nothing to stream late at night when the children where in bed 😂 the third picture of a mouse reference the show ….”die Sendung mit der Maus” it’s a very straightforward name and it is like an animated little comedy and facts show for children to learn and laugh. The last picture with the dandelion is the show “ Löwenzahn” (that is dandelion in German) a show about explaining, educating and exploring just all kind of stuff. The show was hosted by Peter lustig, a very much loved actor by nearly every democratic and age… he sadly died in 2016 and with him a little bit of the spirit of the show died, but the show is still being produced today now with a new host. That’s it for now from me about the meme at 3:20
In Hamburg they call a filled donut a Berliner, that's why "Ich bin ein Berliner" would mean 'I am a donut' there.
In Berlin those same donuts are called "Pfannkuchen" , which literally translates to pancake! Almost everywhere else Pfannkuchen are simply pancakes.
Fun fact: The original actor of the german kids TV-show "Löwenzahn" ("dandelion" from the KiKa meme) was also the sound technician responsible for the broadcast of the JFK speech in Berlin from the other meme. His name was Peter Lustig.
And the newer one I think his name is Fritz Fuchs is in my opinion worse than our original and iconic guy Peter Lustig.
Well that's indeed a good funfact.. I didn't know that😂
Ty
“Peter Lustig“ is “Peter Funny“ in english, it couldn't have been fitting better😅🎉❤
Größter Ehrenmann. Warum gibt's noch kein Peter Lustig Denkmal?

4:40 The German word would be "Duschlampe" from "Dusche" meaning shower and "Lampe" meaning lamp. But the words "Du Schlampe" means "you b*tch", so you don't wanna say "Duschlampe", in special to your mum, because it could easy be misunderstood.
Yep....
I think there is another reference meant. From a Time we Germans are not proud of.
I don't think they had lamps in there and the part with telling your mother makes no sense.@@faultier407
Hey I’m German and I will explain u the Kika thing. Kika is a to show. And the Santa show is you know like a Christmas show, the bread is a show named „Bernd das Brot“ (Bernd the bread), the mouse is a show called „Sendung mit der Maus“ (Show with the mouse) and the flower show is called „Löwenzahn“ it’s a show with a dog. My fav show of these is „Löwenzahn“ and I think Bernd das Brot is scary😅
9:35 In Germany you can drink at 16 and with your parents at 14😊😂
We also have dry walls in Germany, but the are mostly used to change the shade of a room, or to seperate them into two rooms. Normally the walls are made from Brick.
or if your walls are so shit you gotta cover up
Normally these days they a made out of concrete or, if you really lucky, made out of something called "steel concrete" I don't know of what it's made of but it's basically as strong as steel. Also or doors regularly have a 3 millimeter steel sheet in them. So
@@demonmen7952 alle Beton Bauten beinhalten Stahl soweit ich weiß, auch jene die Fertig zusammen gebaut sind wie zB Plattenbauten. Denn Ohne Stahl, hat das Beton nicht die Festigkeit so ein Gebilde zu halten.
@@demonmen7952 well now you are just talking about all the buildings that have just been build or are being built. which the majority of, arent homes but businesses. and a very small minority of how much else there is still standing and the majority is living in
Yes, newer Buildings are made from concrete as well. Also there are some wodden houses, but thats not common. I once was i a Village near Munich, where all houses were made from wood.
The mouse is "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (The show with the mouse) which is a show for kids. And the Dandelion is "Löwenzahn" (Dandelion, literally: Lion's tooth), another show for kids with a lot of educational value.
Regarding the "Ich bin ein Berliner meme": If he were in hamburg he would have said "I am a hamburger". The joke should be self-explaining in this case.
For the ich_iel meme: There is a well known subreddit called "me_irl" (me_in_real_life) which can be literally translated to "ich_im_echten_leben". Abbreviated this becomes "ich_iel". That's why a lot of the memes of ich_iel use literal translations of english (which often sounds stupid, but funny in german). So the translation of "ICH_IEL HAUSIES SEIN WIE - OH SCHEISSE HIER GEHEN WIR WIEDER" literally means "ME_IRL HOMIES ARE LIKE - OH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN"
For Germans it sounds bad due to English grammar similar like: "me_irl housies to be like - oh shit at this place we leave another time."
@@sebastianwittmeier1274 I love how meta that is! You perfectly encapsulated the feeling of reading these posts as a german
I think you misunderstood the "Ich bin ein Berliner" meme, because in Berlin there is a doughnut-like pastry called Pfannkuchen, which in other parts of the german speaking world, including hamburg, is known as a "Berliner Pfannkuchen" which is shortened to "Berliner". So him saying "Ich bin ein Berliner" in Hamburg would be saying "I am a doughnut." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Pfannkuchen
@@phonix6665 Or I am a ham burger
The one called American sandwich bread actually relates to German series, that kids watched often. There was a series called "die Sendung mit der Maus", the second series simply translates to "dandelion" and the third series was called "Weihnachtsmann und Co. KG". I think the one with the sandwich bread is meant to be funny, because the brand simply says "yes!" which is typically German but at the same time it's called "American sandwich bread".
The childhood hero thing refers to 4 TV series for kids, namely the sandman (man in a red coat on a beach with sand), "Bernd das Brot", a show about a loaf of bread living through wacky and dumb stuff, "Die Sendung mit der Maus" is a show where all kinds of things are explained to kids with 3 characters, a mouse, an elephant and a duck, asking the questions or helping answering them. "Löwenzahn" is basically the same thing with a guy and his dog explaining stuff to kids, don't ask me why it's named after a dandelion.
I grew up in a house that was build in the early 1930s. The walls were build from1 foot thick sand stone blocks :) This house was never hot in summer and it didn't cool out quickly in winter in case the heating went down. I loved this house.
The legal drinking age in germany is 14 if you drink with the allowance and in accompany of your parents. But you can online drink beer, vine and light alcoholic drinks, so no vodka, for example. If you are sixteen, you can buy and drink light alcoholic drinks on your own, and if you're 18, you can basically do whatever you want.
maybe change online to only ;)
Actually there's a discussion between a few politicians about the allowance at 14 should be forbidden. I don't think so.
I mean I usually don't drink alcohol and I don't think it's a good idea to drink a lot.
But I think a little bit of sparkling vine (maybe a half glass) would be ok once, twice or three times a year with parents around, so they're able to help in case of an emergency.
In my opinion, it's way more dangerous for the most teenagers to drink alone at 16, because they don't know how much is to much. The others around could probably run away in case of emergency.

For the second meme.
These Pictures have a second meaning, they are all TV-Shows for childrens.
Santa at the beach = "Sandman" (GoodNight-Bedtime-Story)
Bread(Toast) = "Bernd das Brot" (came in the time between 9 o'clock p.m. til 6 o'clock a.m., to say that the Kids shouldn't watch TV.)
Orange Mouse = "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (There are some storys and some Experiments, this came most at noon.)
Dandelion = "Löwenzahn" (this are more experiments combined with a story, they are more sciene)
Ah jes, Santa Claus inc., bert the bread, the show with the mouse and dandelions, my favourite german kidsshows
@Sandwich: Don't call it bread! You can't call a donkey for a horse either 😂
The biggest meme for me as a German is you trying to read something German. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just funny AF. Really funny to listen to.
The Childhood Heroes are:
"Santa" is supposed to be the kids show "Sandmann" (Sandman) which is a ancient show featuring a folklore gnome that guides childs to sleep using sleepimg sand. Its supposed to help kids go to sleep and feautures short clips woth puppets and old cartoons
The Bread is "Bernd das Brot" a talking cynical loaf of Whitebread that aired at the End of Kikas (Germanys Kids Channel) Broadcast time
The orange mouse is "Die Sendung mit der Maus" A educational show airing every sunday at 12 featuring a orange mouse, blue elephant and yellow duck as their mascot and explains kids the world
The Dandelion is a show called "Löwenzahn" another educational show featuring first Peter Lustig and uppon his passing Fritz Fuchs who lives in a old construction trailer and explains the world using small daily adventures
Our walls are made of concrete, with steel bars in it.
„Hausis“ is a bad translation of the English word „homies“
So the meme says „The Ich_IEL homies be like… here we go again“
The Ich_IEL subreddit is probably difficult to translate because there is this unwritten rule - EVERYTHING MUST BE IN GERMAN😂 so they use words that, in a normal converation, would be an english word😂
If you're intrested: I recommend VERY MUCH the Videos from Jules 🤗😂👌🏼
The confusing part about abbreviations like "IEL" is that even in other languages, people tend to use english-derived abbreviations like LOL or AFK
Just goes to show that German subreddits are disproportionally more niche than even english ones, since you have to be in on a lot of international jokes.
Ich habs nicht kapiert, kann aber noch kommen
In that case it's an (awful) literal translation of "me_irl homies are like oh sh1t here we go again"
americans call it bread germans call it toats.
we have way more types of bread. kika is a tv programm for kids. the bread always comes at night on kika an is called "bernd das brot". in christmas season theres a series about santa, the mouse is about a show called "die sendung mit der maus" and german kids usually love that. and the dandelion is about a series called "löwenzahn" (translated "dandelion") what german kids watch.
the jfk meme because of "hamburger".
in germany you are legally allowed to drink beer, wine and other drinks with the perimition of your parents. the german kids are drinking apple juice. if you are sixteen you can drink the said drinks if you want and when you are eighteen you can drink anything.

And a Kellerkind that explains it to the german first.
JFK's famous speech related to ancient romans, who were proud being a roman citizen and could call themselvs "romans" ("I'm roman"), so he wanted to say according to this he was a citizen of Berlin, which would be "Ich bin Berliner" but he added the "ein", so he said "I am a Berliner"... In some parts of Germany a "Berliner" ist a kind of doughnut (google or look on wikipedia for "krapfen"), so by adding the "ein" he said actually "I am a doughnut"
Hi Ryan. The second example: "Wähle Deinen (Kika-) Kindheitshelden." (Which means translated: Choose your (Kika-) favourite hero"; Kika is the german short form of "KinderKanal" [childrens' channel] which means a German TV broadcasting station for children). I don't know the meaning of the first pic (Santa), but "Ja!" [meaning "yes!"] is a brand for German toast. The orange mouse is a famous TV star for children in Germany "Die Sendung mit der Maus" [which literally means "The broadcast with the mouse"] and the pic with dandelions [German: "Löwenzahn"] means also a famous bradcasting for children with the entertainer "Peter Lustig" ("Peter Funny").
2:40 No that is just big toast. Theres hundreds of types of bread everywhere in europe. The americans just think that toast is bread. But its actually the cheapest sort of bread here in germany. (Not kidding)
If you bring something new to the market, you have to name it. Though we have squared, spongy wheat bread (we call it "toast", bc it's supposed to be toasted), the "American Sandwich" is bigger. "Bread" is an umbrella term for a big variety of baked goods. Bread comes in different shapes and, more important, made of different graines (wheat, rhy, spielt,....), even different methods (yeast or sour dough) are possible.
So "American Sandwich" is a wheat bread in a certain shape and size.
13:00 Here we see a classic American not understanding that there can be multiple kinds of bread lol
3:32 I only just now realized who the Santa on the beach is meant to represent. I'm ashamed it took me so long, but of course it's "Sandmännchen"!
KiKa is the abbreviation of Kinderkanal (Kid's channel) and the four pictures represent four classic childhood TV-shows respectively:
"Sandmännchen"
"Bernd das Brot"
"Die Sendung mit der Maus"
"Löwenzahn"
Well… yeah the walls are out of thick bricks, and scoped onto that is something like the stuff out of wich drywall is made (I’m not sure, but it’s something similar at least, a bit more brittle then the stones at least)
little explanation for the sliced bread confusion. Not every sliced bread is labeled as American Sandwich, mostly there is Butter- or full grain toast written on the packaging. The 'amarican' style is just a bit bigger than the other ones, a bit softer and as I can tell a bit sweeter in taste. That's why it's straight up called 'amarican sandwich' 😅
But we would never call it 'bread' cause that's just toast 😂
I'd call it a sweet sponge.
You can the American Sandwich also name and use as a sponge.
12:44 t h i s i s n o t b r e a d.
The bricks usually for chimney and outside for aesthetics and the rest is mostly concrete including walls.
Hi I am German... And I can explain the Showerlamp in Bad english :)
In German shower means "dusche"
And lamp means "Lampe"
So its a "Duschlampe"
But the German Word "du" in english is you and "Schlampe" is the German Word for "slut".
So you can translate Duschlampe (du Schlampe) also with "you slut" 😂
German houses outside walls from inside to outside:
1. ~2.5cm(1inch) layer of concrete flat final cover
2. 17.5cm(7inch) layer white brick
3. insulation glaswool
16-18cm(~7inch)
4. Outside brickwall 11,5cm(~4,5inch)
German inside walls:
11,5cm(~4,5inch) or 17,5cm(7inch)Brickbuild white, both sides final covered by ~2,5cm(1inch) concrete flattening layer

And then there are the people who live in old houses.
Sixty centimeters of brick.

The 4 pictures meme explained by a person growing up in the 90's in germany:
The cut sandwich bread = A funny, pessimistic comedic character named Bernd Das Brot (Bernd the Bread).
The mouse: "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (the mouse show).
Dandelion: "Löwenzahn". A children's science show.
Santa: "Sandmännchen" (the Sandman, last show of the channel at 7 PM before bedtime).
All of these childrens shows were part of the "KIKA" channel ("Kinder Kanal" - children's channel).
😊😊😊😊
In Germany exterior walls are made from brick or concrete while interior walls usually are double layer dry wall
The kids with the beers are probably actually drinking apple juice with sparkling water (Apfelschorle) 😂 we don't have 6 y/o children non-chalantly drinking here in Germany haha
German walls are typically brick, in newer houses sometimes concrete, in rarer cases drywall with wooden planks behind it or just wood planks with wall paper... or sometimes just literal stones and plaster. Drywall with flimsy wood framing like in the US is typically only found in commercial/rented office spaces (i.e. when the space is likely to be restructured frequently for a different floor plan).
The thing with the lamp shower is, in german its called Duschlampe but when you make the two words separate like Du and schlampe that is an another sentence and that means "You b1tch". So that meme tells if you tell to your mom in german about the lamp shower it has 2 senses the mother could understand a lamp shower or you called her a b1tch.
the kids drinking beer is probably "apfelschorle" (sparkling apple juice)
which is a very popular drink to serve to kids in germany
6:48 YES! You got it! It’s called HAmburg. Not Hämbörg. And that’s how you pronounce every a in German.
When I am speaking English, I usually use the English names of the cities that have one. And I would say, that for Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen (probably amongst others) the English name only differs at pronounciation. In German, we do it similar with London or Paris. In normal everyday conversation, most people will speak the "O"s in London the German way and actually speak the "S" in Paris.
I think, there is a shift in using the original names of places, it is less common to call Aachen Aix-La-Chapelle at least in English and at least the English Wikipedia article of Lüneburg is called so nowadays. But I wouldn't say it is wrong to say Hamburg with the English pronounciation, as long as the conversation is English.
@@gaedingar9791 Ja ja
I was just trying to compliment Ryan‘s pronunciation because he was trying to say it in German. And giving the hint that that’s how you say the a in German. Always. For example in hallo. 😊
You should keep something in mind. Whenever you say something about a language, like how a letter is pronounced, or how a grammatical rule works, or something like that, try to avoid making statements with "every" or "always" or "never" or stuff like that. Because, there usually exceptions. That goes for pretty much everything in every language. and even if not, doesn't hurt to be safe, does it?.
Congratulations on becoming your own meme. :D

The American Sandwich (toast) is named this way because of it's size. The normal toast is smaller (the slices of bread itself not the amount of slizes).
He probably won't know what you mean by "toast".
I second what stef987 says: what we Germans call "Toast" isn't called "toast" in English. Also, the "American Sandwich" is probably called that by REWE to distinguish it from what we Germans usually call "bread".
@@scelestionNo, it's the size.
There are more differences in the german toast and the American bread we sell in germany.
Yes, the size is one of the them but the texture of the bread is different aswell. German toast is supposed to be toasted it doesn't taste good at all eating it un-toasted. American bread ( Weißbrot ) is fine eating it un-toasted but tastes better toasted.
Kindheitshelden: TV-Shows "Santa Claus", "Bernd das Brot", " Sendung mit der Maus", "Löwenzahn"
Ich think the kids are drinking "Apfelschorle", a mix of Applejuice and Sparkling water
Those four pictures each represent one German kids show:
The little Santa on the beach is a show called "Sandmännchen" (The "Sandman" is a man who puts sand in the eyes of children to make them sleep and give them beautiful dreams, the eye sand which everyone has in the morning is probably the origin of this story, the show existed in two versions in East and in West Germany but the East German Sandmännchen is preferred by most people I know (I'm from West Germany))
The Sandwich Toast is a reference to the depressed bread "Bernd das Brot"
The orange mouse represents a show called "Die Sendung mit der Maus" ("The show with the mouse" is a show where things from the adult world are explained so that children can understand (for example they explain how a plane is built, how the inner-German border worked (they did that as a special edition on the 25th anniversary of the Mauerfall) or even really "childish" questions like how the stripes get into the toothpaste or why there are holes in the cheese.
The dandelion is a show called Löwenzahn (the german name of the plant) and it is similar to the Sendung mit der Maus but in a different way
someone probably already explained the memes but i'm in the mood for writing, so here i go!
-the childhood heroes meme:
it's about four different series and their more or less main characters.
1. 'der sandmann'. it's a very old series meant to be goodnight stories for young children. the character is dressed like santa, tells a short story and then leaves after blowing sand at the camera.
2. 'bernd das brot'. the depressed bread character you have already identified.
3. 'die sendung mit der maus'. an educational series with three mascot characters, a yellow duck, a blue elephant and a brown/orange mouse.
4. also an educational series, with a human character named löwenzahn.
it's from too long ago to remember the details.
-the lamp shower meme i don't get either, even as a german. it could be a reference to a movie about a concentration camp, the gassing of jews via the showers, but that feels too dark...
-the meme were you found yourself, don't worry about the translation. the first line is just not in proper german.
the germans and americans are making fun of each other since long ago. the whole subreddit is about that but i think they got tiered and the subreddit started stagnating. then you come and bring it's existence to peoples attention, so the meme is saying 'everyones like, oh shit here we go again~'. or something similar.
-the meme about the drinking children. that is indeed not legal! germany is pretty strict about their underage laws, be it for drinking, smoking or other drugs and activities.
i think those children are just drinking juice or something.
-the sliced bread meme. we germans just call that toastbrot. it's already a common german word...
Duschlampe, Bruder 😁
Second meme is "Weihnachtsman & Co. KG", "Bernd das Brot", "Die Sendung mit der Maus" and "Löwenzahn". All very well TV Shows for Kids.
Bernd das Brot - oh yes...I've been racking my brain as to what that means....
also ich dachte der erste geht um sandmann
In germany you call a Shower Lamp (Duschlampe) but if you put a space between like this (du Schlampe) it means you b*tch. I love your Videos man keep it up
"Peter Lustig" von "Löwenzahn"
I do not envy kids who have to grow up without that show
When i saw that picture with this title, I automatically had the title music of that show playing in my head :D
an absolute legend that man
The pics in the "Kika"-meme all stand for various iconic kids' programmes in Germany. Santa on the beach is supposed to be a reference to "Sandmännchen" (little Sandman). It's an old kids' programme right before young kids' bedtime and the Sandman comes and delivers a short bedtime story. The bread, I think, is a reference to "Bernd, das Brot" (a show with a very sarcastic loaf of bread ... don't ask 😀).The orange mouse is a reference to "Sendung mit der Maus" (The Show with the Mouse) which has little cartoons of said mouse and a tiny blue elefant and in between short films that usually explain how things are made or what people on certain jobs do and such. The dandelions (in German "Löwenzahn") refer to a show with that title where a guy who lives in a blue construction trailer is confronted with all sorts of problems and goes to find out about things, so the programme always has a topic that runs through the whole episode (like "drinking water" and how it finds its way into your house or "books" and how they are made etc). So when confronted with a problem, this guy goes for a deep dive on the topic and explains stuff in a way that kids can understand. Very educational. 🙂
Maybe this needs to be explained: the reason why translating stuff from German subreddits, especially ich_irl doesn’t work so well is, that it has become a meme to eliminate all anglicisms in the German language they use, by radically replacing them with the direct translations of those words, even if the result is meaningless/doesn’t translate or grammatically wrong.
So for example: in Germany we don’t have a direct translation for the word homies. It is a exclusively English slang term. Ich_irl will take the part of the word that is translatable m "home" and simply translate it into German "Haus" (wich isn’t even totally correct it should be "Zuhause" but it doesn’t really matter now. Then they will imitate the way the slang worked by adding "is" wich is a way of making a word sound cute like "ies".
Is this dumb? Probably, but I can tell you from the get go that not doing it will only lead to your mother being insulted very frequently.
I think Heimies is more accurate
Yes, they will do a comment chain of "Sprich deutsch du Hurensohn", or later, because in 2023 r/place people got to know the term "Hurensohn", they will replace it with older german words like "Sprich deutsch du Sohn einer Dirne" or "Sprich deutsch du Dirnenspross"
I so so hate this as a German, it hurts my eyes to read that broken Grammar and the cringey translations
@Ryan Wass Hausis is the literal translation of homies to german ( Home ment as house ) so its like : ICH_IEL Homies be like , " Shit here we go again " Together with the second layer of the meme, the picture of Al Bundys after hours ritual for relaxing. The couch and one hand in the trousers. The meaning of the meme is like they appreciate your content and find it helping to relax after a hard day of work. And i couldn´t agree more. Here take a thumbs up.
You actually read some sense into it. So it does not have anything to do with that particular thumbnail? I was wondering why that content in particular would be so enticing, but if they just meant Ryan in general, then I understand it now.
2:59 There are many TV channels, for example Dandelion (Löwenzahn) is a children's series that was very cool, Santa Claus with the sand represents another childhood hero the Sandman (der Sandmann), the bread is supposed to represent Bernd the bread (Bernd das Brot) and the mouse shows the mouse from: The show with the mouse (die Sendung mit der Maus).
the image with the childhood heroes are about tvshows. "kika" is short for "kinderkanal" (children's channel) and is a tv channel with kids shows. the dandelion one is called "Löwenzahn" (which is german for "dandelion"). the mouse is for "Die Sendung mit der Maus". regarding the american sandwich: we have much more variety of bread so we dont call it "loaf of bread"... we call it "toast" or "sandwich toast" and some apparently put "american" before it because thats typical american bread. at 7:35 it basically means "ich_iel homies be like - oh shit, here we go again"
