When I was driving a taxi bus in and around Utrecht, I had a special way of getting even with idiot drivers who cut me off just to catch the next red light. I would stop my bus behind them, and, having 'learned' all the traffic lights (stoplichten), my sweet vengeance was to honk a second before the light turned green. The idiot driver in front of me would turn his head, eyein me angrily to which I just waved my hand (go on go on!) in an even angrier fashion because the light had turned green already!
An Austrian friend once explained the phenomenon of "Nachtisch geht immer" with the existence of a "Dessertmagen", a second stomach with infinite capacity reserved for only sweet stuff.

Or at least most of those who show up here and try to drive in the alps ;-) Which isn't even entirely just in snowy conditions, had a german "Flachländer" in front of me last summer who completely smoked the brakes of his caravan trailer downhill a mountain road. With a bit of preparation he should have known that said road is not for use with a caravan, and if he had a bit of knowledge about his trailer and understanding of his situation he would have locked the overunbrakes of the caravan trailer in open position before the descend... But he didn't.

At the beginning of 2022 there was a Czech billionair who drove on the autobahn at 417km/h in his Bugatti. This was illegal, but not because he went to fast, it was because he did not use the right lane so the cars approaching from behind could overtake safely.
The Spaziergang part 😭😂 it's so true, I've once gone on a hike in the mountains in winter with a bunch of 20 y.o. Germans and I swear they all walk like they are in the bloody Olympics! I was super exhausted and upset, the views were stunning though
In Germany we don't say: "Yes, I'm fine, thanks for asking" We say: "Ja muss ja" We also don't say: "Wow, this is really delicious" We say: "Gar nicht so schlecht"
I spent about 6 months in Germany, and the "Alles unter 200 ist Verkehrsbehinderung!", is too real. The Germans love their Autobahn, and you better not mess with their efficient logistics.
On a 3 lane Autobahn, driving 200 in the left lane is essentially asking for being pushed to the side. What are you doing in the fast lane with your slow-ass car, it's dangerous to force actual drivers to suddenly slow down so much!
@@LemuriaGames german drivers are very talented, attentiv. I drive a VW Camping Van from 1990. Has only 70PS so I cruise on the AB and enjoying it. I love seeing the big limousins passing me at high speed watching in owe how they slow down ever so slightly having another car in front of them, which then goes right and the other one just vanishes! I used to own a Volvo 740 with which I drove 220-240kmh. In cars like that you don't feel the speed because they are made for it, very comfortable. The statistics shows that the ABs all over the country are the most safe ones to drive on. National- or country roads are more dangerous because mostly of reckless overtaking.
@@juttaweise Exactly. Having a car built for such speeds is essential. I'll never forget the one time I had to switch to the middle lane while going 220 because something yellow was getting bigger in my rear mirror pretty quickly. Was a yellow Ferrari that passed me at probably 280. It's a weird feeling when you feel you're standing still while going over 200. 🙂
@@LemuriaGames yes I know what you mean, there are times when i'am on the AB, maybe drifting in my thoughts a bit, when suddenly there is this fast car passing me, making a hell of a noise plus the pressure of wind I felt against my van. That happens sometimes, otherwise its good driving! As I said, I like it, it is also an aesthetical experience, as I love the 911 Porsche, or a beautifull Audi or BMW. And I am overly happy that the Greens have not succeeded untill now to push a general speedlimit for the ABs!
It's so true. My mother in law said we would do a "Spaziergang" (mind you, my brother in law was there with his 9month old son, so I thought it would really be a Spaziergang!). I dressed accordingly, with a normal coat and normal street boots. We ended up hiking up 400m and down 400m, in 4 hours.
I wonder now, what actually causes people in Germany to actually embrace these traditions. I see some similarities to culture in Poland, but I wonder what actually caused it. Why some people are obsessed with fitness, effectiveness and playing tough person, while they seem like they want to escape other people completely? For me it seems like some kind of mental trauma from living in this society, because as I grew older in Poland I observed how communities worked in 2000s in smaller city and it all seemed to be more cooperative, relaxed, but today as I moved to bigger city it all seems so competitive, stressed and depressed. I tend to believe that source of this is just capitalism, which incentivizes being "efficient", because if people can be happier with less, then why should we destroy environment just to sustain luxurious lifestyle of small group of rich people that don't want make it sustainable?
@@adiq94 Well there are alot of points, but the overall conclusion isnt that easy, everyone is diffrent. There are to many topics there to sum it all up. While yes there are some stereotypes for every culture, those arent a 100% fit for everyone. There is a huge diffrent living in a city or a small town, i prefer living here in a small town, i know most people, most people know me. On the flipside, the 3 years i lived in a bigger city i didnt even known the name of my neighbor.

I honestly love how you make Germans look so positive in my eyes, also, my Germal lessons are finally paying off, these are so much fun
"Wir heizen nich für die Luftwaffe" is by far my favorite one. I'll cherish that one to my grave. :D
As a german I can confirm that every single one is 100% true
yes, but even more for males
in germany we don't say: "oh, it's already 6am and we've been blasting music all night long", we say "Es ist 22 Uhr, Ruhezeit, schluss mit der Musik."
But some of us say: "Nein Mann, ich will noch nicht gehn. Ich will noch'n bisschen tanzen."
"Zapfenstreich!"
Oder "Feierabend!"
In Germany, we don’t say: „Sorry, I didn't quite understand your last sentence, could you please repeat it again?“
We say: ✨ *“Hä?“* ✨
As a born German I can confirm, that all this is true!🤣 All these got me so hard, this is hilarious!
Es ist immer
*klatsch auf den Oberschenkel* "SO"
Hüstel....
...so mache ich es auch immer! 😂
In Germany we don't say: "Yes, I'm fine, thanks for asking"
We say: "Ja muss ja"
We also don't say: "Wow, this is really delicious"
We say: "Gar nicht so schlecht"
Keiner sagt "Ja, muss ja". Das ist ja ein richtiger Schnacker :D "Muss" oder "Muss ja".
Oder wenn man sehr höflich ist: "Muss, selbst?"
"Joar"
Ich lebe noch
Actually, we say: "Kann man essen."
@@leoleone2.0 "Wie gehts dir" "Kann man essen" Wasn das für ne Logik?
@@GordonBender das war wahrscheinlich auf "Wow, this is really delicious" bezogen, nicht auf "Wie geht's dir"
This earlier work of yours has this Vine vibe that is nostalgic and entertaining. Excellent content.
I spent about 6 months in Germany, and the "Alles unter 200 ist Verkehrsbehinderung!", is too real.
The Germans love their Autobahn, and you better not mess with their efficient logistics.
On a 3 lane Autobahn, driving 200 in the left lane is essentially asking for being pushed to the side. What are you doing in the fast lane with your slow-ass car, it's dangerous to force actual drivers to suddenly slow down so much!
@@LemuriaGames german drivers are very talented, attentiv. I drive a VW Camping Van from 1990. Has only 70PS so I cruise on the AB and enjoying it. I love seeing the big limousins passing me at high speed watching
in owe how they slow down ever so slightly having another car in front of them, which then goes right and
the other one just vanishes! I used to own a Volvo 740 with which I drove 220-240kmh. In cars like that you
don't feel the speed because they are made for it, very comfortable. The statistics shows that the ABs all over the country are the most safe ones to drive on. National- or country roads are more dangerous because mostly of reckless overtaking.
@@juttaweise Exactly. Having a car built for such speeds is essential. I'll never forget the one time I had to switch to the middle lane while going 220 because something yellow was getting bigger in my rear mirror pretty quickly. Was a yellow Ferrari that passed me at probably 280. It's a weird feeling when you feel you're standing still while going over 200. 🙂
@@LemuriaGames yes I know what you mean, there are times when i'am on the AB, maybe drifting in my thoughts a bit, when suddenly there is this fast car passing me, making a hell of a noise plus the pressure of wind I felt against my van. That happens sometimes, otherwise its good driving! As I said, I like it, it is also an aesthetical experience, as I love the 911 Porsche, or a beautifull Audi or BMW. And I am overly happy that the Greens have not succeeded untill now to push a general speedlimit for the ABs!
I moved to germany about a year ago: how have you captured so much of my experience in a 6 second format?
It's so true. My mother in law said we would do a "Spaziergang" (mind you, my brother in law was there with his 9month old son, so I thought it would really be a Spaziergang!). I dressed accordingly, with a normal coat and normal street boots. We ended up hiking up 400m and down 400m, in 4 hours.
800m in 4 hours, you must be a snail
@@NoAlias_ 800m altitude difference, not length of way.
I wonder now, what actually causes people in Germany to actually embrace these traditions. I see some similarities to culture in Poland, but I wonder what actually caused it. Why some people are obsessed with fitness, effectiveness and playing tough person, while they seem like they want to escape other people completely? For me it seems like some kind of mental trauma from living in this society, because as I grew older in Poland I observed how communities worked in 2000s in smaller city and it all seemed to be more cooperative, relaxed, but today as I moved to bigger city it all seems so competitive, stressed and depressed. I tend to believe that source of this is just capitalism, which incentivizes being "efficient", because if people can be happier with less, then why should we destroy environment just to sustain luxurious lifestyle of small group of rich people that don't want make it sustainable?
Ein "Normalgeher" (this word exists) should make 300-400 m elevation gain per hour. You must be a snail.
@@adiq94 Well there are alot of points, but the overall conclusion isnt that easy, everyone is diffrent. There are to many topics there to sum it all up.
While yes there are some stereotypes for every culture, those arent a 100% fit for everyone.
There is a huge diffrent living in a city or a small town, i prefer living here in a small town, i know most people, most people know me. On the flipside, the 3 years i lived in a bigger city i didnt even known the name of my neighbor.
In Germany we don't say: "You did a good job. We are ending your probationary period." We say: "We don't see a reason for your termination."
Szczerze? Płakaliśmy z mężem ze śmiechu! To najlepsza komedia o Niemcach! Po czym stwierdziliśmy, że my Polacy jesteśmy tacy podobni do nich....i przestaliśmy się śmiać. Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
i recommend "polnische handwerker " polish craftsmen
Love how the joke with the train was about how bad Deutsche Bahn is and not how on point our trains are. On that you can see he's becoming a real german
German trains used to be on point and our neighbor countries used to point that out and then got better and we got worse and that is where we are today
@@terrapax8554 yeah because we've let our infrastucture go to waste. Truly sad
Dude I'm studying German and this is one of material that i need 😌
Yes, might help a lot. We are not impolite. We are frugal in expression and emotions. We know life.
well, what you learn here is colloquial German. nothing you should ever put in writing.
@@NICEFINENEWROBOT i kind of relate with German culture since people knew me to rarely smile in the public so people assume me for being rude but I think it is weird to smile without any reason. I usually greet people with straight face
@@pinkyboy8576 Yet it is better to learn an easy way to meet and greet people, and you will love it. Only be genune.
@@NICEFINENEWROBOT introverts ?
Ich finde "Geht schon" so großartig... Du bringst es immer wieder auf den Punkt und man ertappt sich selber immer wieder 😂😂😂 Was wir hier zu Hause oder auf Arbeit schon über deine Clips gelacht haben... ❤🎉
It’s amazing how your entire personality changes between the accents 😂 Like I totally believe you are two completely different people 😂
As a German i can confirm this.
🤣 Ich finde das wunderbar unterhaltsam🇩🇪. Einen schönen Abend wünsche ich allen hier.😇
nabend....................
We say: Passt, weiter machen!
Dude, some of these made me laugh so hard! I haven't heard some of these for so long ( been living in US) that the hilarity of them hits me even harder. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess.
Very good choice of dessert. Zwetschgenkuchen is one of the best we have and it breaks every foreigners tongue.
happily this doesn't happen when you eat it 😅
Ich frage mich halt einfach die ganze Zeit, ist er Deutscher der einfach wahnsinning gutes Englisch spricht, zu gut gefühlt für einen Deutschen 😅
Oder ist er wirklich Brite, und hat einfach nur deutschen Humor verstanden und zwar zu mehr als 100%! 😂🤙
He's British. I think?
He's Anglo-German.
glaub ers britte, manchma is das deutsch bisschen uff
Der Typ ist eif nice, ich liebe den Humor
Er ist Brite und hat eine deutsche Frau. Die beiden haben das wohl für sich zusammen entdeckt. ;)
For those wondering, “Das ist kein Panzer” translates directly to “that’s not a tank” 😂
But:"Geht's noch?!" was an alternative 😂
@@saschab.7154 wdym
Also im Osten sagt man eher: Ist doch kein Trabi... 😂
@@saschab.7154 Hab ich auch gedacht, dass das kommt ;)
Love this! The German culture will never be swallowed up by those who don't appreciate it!!!
I love living in Germany i find it cute that they supress the emotions 😃 I guess unknowingly they hate to show vulnerability.
In Germany we don't say: I've missed the bus, can someone drive me to school?
We say: Der Fußbus fährt immer!
Den Spruch kenn ich nur von Fritz Meinecke , könnte sich aber als Sprichwort etablieren...
Den kannte ich noch nicht! danke!
@@alexandragraef8935 jap und den hat er selbstironisch erfunden, nachdem man ihm den Lappen wegen illegalem Autorennen abgenommen hat XD
"ALLES UNTER 200 IST VERKEHRS BEHINDERUNG" HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Jemand fällt die Treppe runter bei Glatteis, weil er zwei Einkaufstüten trägt: "Tja, sowas kommt von sowas."
The "So" made me proper laugh, my German friends do this all the time, and I'm left like "Where TF has Karan gone?!" xD
liam muss einfach als Außenmenister für Deutschland arbeiten. Kann englisch und ist mit dem besten deutschen know how ausgestattet worden. Vote for Liam
we can vote but he's not crazy
Wir hatten doch schon einen Schotten als Ministerpräsident in Niedersachsen. 😊
Er kann auch besser deutsch, als unsere Außenministerin 😭
0:31 as an Italian is comforting knowing that DB is always late like Trenitalia
Der Nachtisch war doch eine Donauwellen Schnitte ?! Die geht wirklich IMMER 😂.
Hi Liam, hast du Erfahrungen mit privaten Einladungen in Deutschland? Ich kenne das so, daß der Gastgeber immer eine feste Uhrzeit angibt und der deutsche Gast kommt immer 10 bis 5 Minuten vor der angegebenen Zeit. Sollte der Gast unpünktlich sein, ruft er den Gastgeber an und sagt : sorry, ich werde mich um 6 Minuten verspäten.
What a significant comparison, thank you so much Liam, great job! 💯🦉😇
As a German I can confirm most of what's shown in the video xD
Especially the "So" when one needs to go haha
You keep nailing it! So well observed! My English husband keeps commiserating with you! 🤣
Willst du mein steuerlicher Vorteil sein!!! 😂😂😂 That made my day! But seriously now: one of the things I admire most in Britain is that all surrounding british politeness! Thank you so much, Liam
In Russia we don't say: "Ah that was so painful"
We say: "Блять!"
You have to translate that, I guess..
It's sth. like "fuck!"
@@FrogeniusW.G. All in all. Cause fuck don't show all emotional spector of word "блять")
Passt schon , geht schon 😂 „Für Nachtisch is immer Platz „ Ganz mein Motto
Das ist der Dessertmagen 😂
Hi Liam, often funny, but the best is the expression of your face in the context
Thank you for your great video s . I like your style. Keep up the good work 💪. From Scotland 🏴
Ich liebe es 😂
Ich erkenne mich in so vielen Sachen wieder😂😂😂😂
Dito XD
ich erkenne mich in deinem Nutzernamen wieder
Die DB sagt immer "entschuldigung für die unregelmäßigkeit" aber es wäre eine Unregelmässigkeit wenn die Mal rechtzeitig/funktionstüchtig wäre.
I left Germany a really long time ago and this made me laugh so hard and reminded me that I am still German, thanks for the entertainment! lol
Same for me. I have been living in New Zealand for 30 years. This cracked me up. So accurate.
