I, as a german, must say his german accent is spot on. So spot on, I can imagine him speaking german!
His mannerisms and especially his accent reminds me Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained!
@Generic Guy nearly ever english speaker speaks some german
Kindergarten
doppelganger
Gesundheit
Rucksack
so sure he does ;)
@Generic Guy That argument falls apart when you consider that a big part of why so many Germans speak English is because everyday German is also heavily Americanized. The reality is there's a lot of historical and cultural overlap between the two countries: German-Americans make up the biggest reported ancestry group in the US, there used to be whole German-language newspapers and publishers in the US.
Heck, Pennsylvania Dutch is still a thing to this day, the Amish call their law literally the "Ordnung".
The US presence post-WWII, heavily ramping up during the cold war, and still lasting to this day, is also a very big cultural exchange factor in reverse. Making Germany one of the biggest US American diasporas particularly outside the Americas, and resulting in German pop-culture being pretty aligned with US trends.
@Generic Guy i mever said fluently
I said some. And it was more ment as half a joke.
@@YukiTheOkami You should have typed: "Nearly every English speaker knows or speaks some German words" instead of "speaks some German" the latter implies that you know how to at least construct basic phrases in German and understand basic phrases German speakers would say. Speaking some words or knowing them has nothing to do with speaking some of a language, otherwise most Germans would speak English as they use a lot of anglicisms on a daily basis, yet when you start conversing in English, all you hear from most of them are some broken sentences which makes it a guessing game sometimes.
He looks like every Highschool math teacher in Germany ever. love it
I was about to say the exact same thing. Good to know 😂

Now comes the plot twist, the twisty part. The ultimate twist.
Chinese
Don't
have
letters
Yep.
Each character is a word.
Good luck.
Totally. Dude was very funny.
@@blenderpain8249 Each character is not a word. It can be, but most of the time, we're dealing with multisyllabic words or other disambiguating features like reduplication or other forms of contextualization.
Also: 44k chars is just plain wrong. Just knowing 4k is in the realm of a very decent education, and, by itself, not even a predictor of how good your overall vocab or spoken Chinese is.
It's also fairly systematic in many ways. Sure, you got a pretty hefty challenge just cramming chars at first, but it's not like you didn't have to drill the latin (or any other) alphabet - written Chinese really isn't that bad once you get into the groove, and learning new characters really is no different from learning new English words... which is something most native speakers will be doing for the rest of their days.
I'm down for some quips, but people have a tendency to mystify these things so much. Cram Duolingo or Clozemaster and you'll inevitably learn the language, just make sure to also keep writing your flashcards on paper, endlessly, every day. Look for nice podcasts as well, it's magic for language learning.
All that yip-yapping aside, Bengt is freaking hilarious. Really witty dude.
Honestly, as a native German who's currently studying Chinese I was literally dying of laughter xD
Which dialect?
@@FieryJuniper Mandarin 🙈
@@FieryJuniper Why dialect? Just learn the most official language ---- Manderin. Nobody jumps right away to learn any Chinese dialect. What is this question? Do you even know Manderin?
I'm telling you as a Chinese who learnt German it wasn't a piece of cake either xD
Did you survive the laughter?
“Chinese is the only language on earth in which you can write a whole sentence accidentally”😂😂😂

阿凡達説法是到付哈歲的覅歐吉安四大佛教
Similar thing with Japanese if you’re spamming the Chinese characters. Someone did this and accidentally wrote “Perverted teacher who talks to children.” Like goddamn.
nossody write not type
Totally not true. More true for english.
A true story: When I was growing up in Beijing, sometimes our teacher would ask the kids in class to write our own names 50 times as punishment.
A friend of mine was the envy of everyone having the name of 王一丁. Another girl though, almost always ended up weeping at the end. Oh poor 瞿懿曦
*Edited: grammar mistake corrected with the help of a comment.
Yeah Wang Yi Ding is waaaaay easier to write in hanzi. Thankfully I only have one difficult hanzi in my Chinese name 何睿思.
As a speaker of English only and a tiny bit of Spanish. How do chinese people type? I mean 30 thousands characters is a lot, how can you make a type writer with that or phone ap? I mean on the phone you would have like 100 pages of characters.
@@travisrolison9646 To understand %90 of written Chinese you only need about 3000 characters and many have the same pronunciation, but different tones...So the computers, etc, use a romanized input system called pinyin that breaks down the sounds of the words into the English alphabet characters, then you type that in and there's a list of the most common characters that pop up which you can expand and sometimes there are fourty or fifty characters that all have the same pronunciation with only varying tones, but all of them have different characters. 是时事十使市使湿试 all are written with 'shi' in pinyin and you just use pick from the predictive list that pops up.
Travis Rolison phonetically
@@travisrolison9646 There are various input methods. Although nowadays most people use Pinyin, which is basically using the Latin alphabet to spell out the pronunciations.
The German accent had me thinking about my poor cousin. He had a German nanny and his parents kept taking him to speech therapists for his weird speech impediment. My dad listened to him and realized his parents didn't know that was a German accent. He just picked it up in the middle of Virginia.
WTF thats so fucked up.
That is too funny, but not. But is.

I had it the other way around
There's this really nice British lady teaching at our school. And she's got this weird mixture of German with an accent that can only be a mixture of British and lower bavaria

As someone who never thought they'd like "clean" humor, this guy is hilarious!
clean humor is the best kind (:
r/usernamechecksout
Clean humor is very challenging because you don't get the boost that comes from people giggling over dirty language. With, dirty humor, people are a little uncomfortable, so any excuse to relieve the tension is likely met with laughs.
Fully agree. I rarely find clean humor funny but this was awesome.
The manner-of-fact way he says everything makes it so great! :)
“Why spank the butt when you can chemically spank the brain?” 😂😂😂 omg that was genius!

Thank you CZcams algorithm for recommending this! I speak fluent Chinese and have lived in Germany for almost a year, find this bit really funny. And this performance gets even better later and near the end! I'm laughing out loud many times! Very intelligent clean jokes, clever call backs, some punch lines are even philosophical. He clearly have put a lot of thought in to his performance. Keep up the good work Bengt. You deserve to be more famous!
Thank you!

That why in China you run for your life after smacking a spider because its dead body on the wall spells "imminent death" but then you turn back because the shadow of the tree outside spells "spider wasn't talking about you".
That's hard when your language is from drawings of stuff, in this case, the after life of dead spiders, with, crippled stairs, and half broekn moon, and over cooked dumplings? .... it may have some fortune telling implications, on the wall........ haha...

He tells such funny yet wholesome jokes that its like your just hanging out with some friends & listening to the one funny friend talk about his life without interruption.
This fluidity and timing. Confident delivery. Knows exactly when to shoot. Natural sounding, passive humor. It's hard to believe he's been a comic for over 5 years. I want more.
"why spank the butt when you can chemically spank the brain" OMG 😂
I have a collegue whose wife is anesthesiologist. He came up one day with "the kids don't sleep", I was like "WTF ask your wife"?

Loved the "not an adjective, it's a past participle "! Priceless!
"I had one sneak up on me and poke me with a stick. Then he turned around and ran into a tree! Paw to God! I scat you not!" Had to pause it a minute or two. Couldn't stop laughing. Woke my neighbors up.
It is really refreshing to have an engaging comedian that does not swear.
he did say SHIOOT couple of times though
@Kristie C many many of us manage just fine without swearing
@Kristie C he spelt the cuss words 🤣
Wow, he killed it and that’s what you got from this? Lol
"Meddling Giant..." is a perfectly understated punchline. This dude knows how to turn a phrase; very well crafted act.
As someone who went to Japan in hopes of improving my Japanese, he’s spot on about what it’s like when you go to another country to “immerse yourself in another language.” Lots of people that you meet will know how to speak English and will try to practice their English with you, and many signs (at least in big cities like Tokyo) have English written underneath. And when you start thinking everyone around you knows how to speak English, you will definitely find people who don’t.
This was hilarious from start to end and so brilliant ! "Clean" jokes often means more intelligent ones and he managed perfectly. It's nice that there was a kid in the audiance and he didn't hear anything age-inapropiate.
Agreed. Better jokes come from lack of SHOCK comedy , in my opinion.
He was very funny.
if you keep laughing at comedy that doesn't use a single swear word and they talk about everything else but sex and dating, you know you have discovered true talent....
Captain Nemo so so true 👍
This comment is like someone smirking until they finally tell you you just ate an entirely vegan meal and "now don't you feel so much better about that?" -- right, because _that's_ how pointing that out makes me feel.
@@FirstnameLastname-us7mx I love clean comedy. It’s an effort to listen to people who speak profanity like a second language. My first and former husband had the uncanny ability/talent to take any word and insert something profane in the MIDDLE of it and presto a new word. Jeanne Robertson, Lee Ann Morgan and John Crist and Tim Hawkins are excellent clean comedians at present. If I had the skill of removing profanity from R rated movies, we could have some wonderful movies.
@@mommalion7028 Since this keeps popping up in my alerts... and just to be clear: No one has (or at least I don't have) a problem with "clean comedy". I really enjoyed this set and I DO think it's great to have comedy people can bring their kids to. My comment was a vaguely flippant humorous [-failed-] attempt at calling out a subset who use the label "clean comedy" as a way to bolster their superiority complex -- which I don't even necessarily think @captain nemo was doing. But sometimes we sound a certain way without meaning to.
‘Tis very sad that the modern culture in 21st century American / English parlance is so vulgar that we find it amazing that a person can speak without using cuss words and we’re gobsmacked that a comedian who isn’t vulgar and doesn’t use cuss words can be funny. ...
Our cultural and ethical standards have deteriorated to the lowest common denominator.....
Bengt is a common swedish name, but only for 70-80 year old men. In Sweden, names are popular in 90 year cycles or so, so in like ten-twenty years, it'll be popular again. I actually think it's catching wind already, because as a teacher, I've come across kids called Bengt recently, and that was unheard of ten years ago.
Good to know!

As a U.S Army Veteran myself and also having lived in Germany for 4 years, i can say that picking up on the simpler words and learning numbers was not difficult AT ALL. But it was descriptive words that I had a hard time remembering. I could learn things like ordering food and drinks, telling taxi drivers where I want to go, greeting people and asking how they are, I could get around, but I just didn't learn enough to carry on a conversation. I actually ended up being able to understand more then I could speak, which was a little like having a stroke and being able to understand people but when I tried to say something it came out nonsense. Lol. And it's true what he said, I actually started speaking to Germans in English with a German accent much quicker then I learned any German without even noticing I was doing it. My friends actually had to tell me to stop doing it....lmao.

There's no substitute for good comedy, this guy kills it.
"...and then I turned off the light." At that point I had to stop eating my soup or it would've hit the wall opposite, I was laughing so hard. And the poking the grizzly with the blunt end of the stick segment - just too hilarious. I'm currently staying in a hotel and the people either side of me are now probably convinced there's a lunatic next door b/c I have the volume on my laptop low out of courtesy, so they couldn't hear that - but the random shrieks of laughter, I could not contain.
Well, that will give them something to talk over ☺

"44,000 different drawings of sheds". Brilliant way of phrasing it
As an Army brat in Germany in the early '60's, I learned to speak some German in school and with my 'best' friend next door off post. Later, I enlist and go to Korea, where I met a young lady that I married 2 years later. SO, I see so many parallels in his routine. Luckily, Korean has THE EASIEST Asian alphabet to learn to read!! Thank goodness for no 'shed' designs to learn. I also was stationed on Okinawa for 18 months and only can recognize one Japanese symbol, an upside down - backwards lower case e, for the syllable sound "no". I was a 'poor student as a child.

I was there in exchange and lived with my prior exchange students' aunt down the street from her. We went to school together. She banned people from speaking English with me and if she'd here them talking English, she'd yell at them lol
this is a common complaint for the Netherlands too, when we hear you're not from here, we tend to switch and have a conversation instead :D
@@dutchdykefinger Same in Sweden. Besides, Sweden was ranked #1 in English for a long time. Even my grandmother can speak English and she's almost 80.
All of my cousins could speak proper English at the age of 10. Heck, I even know people with learning disabilities who can speak proper English. Not as fluently as others, but enough to hold a simple conversation. My grandfather was even better though, and is the one who started teaching me when I was 4 years old.

"They don't show their work... but I believe 'em."
as a fluent speaker of the mystical shed and downward dog language, I didn't know that's what learning Chinese was like
I don't know Chinese, but I'm studying Japenese in school, and learning kanji is an interesting experience. Though, from what I understand it's easier to type in Chinese than Japanese. I dread when I have to do digital assignments for Japanese class. So clunky.
@@She-wolf3636 actually I would say it's infinutely easier to type in Japanese. You don't get too many word combinations that sound the same in Japanese, so you dont need to spam the expansion button to select the right word combination. And you can almost always use hiragana if you are too lazy to find the correct kanji's.
@@chizhang2765 That's one way of looking at it. I guess I'm just used to typing in English, so when I type in Japanese it doesn't feel as fluid on a keyboard. It will get easier with practice.. hopefully.
She-wolf3636 o
@@She-wolf3636 These days, typing in Chinese is pretty easy. Usually, we use pinyin on the keyboard along with a menu that we can choose from. There are more advanced systems based upon strokes that are more efficient, but for learners and people who don't type professionally, that can be overkill.

@David Jones Yes, something like that. For Christians, basically everything happens for a reason - because all of your life has been planned by the God, etc., etc., there's no place for randomness. The most random thing you can see is your own free will (which is not so random at all) that can lead you closer or further away from the God's plan. Everything and anything that happens in your life is a sort of test for you, it's supposed to help you grow and become closer to the God. Even if you're already considered a good person and suddenly you suffer for no apparent reason, it's His way of further purifying you, making you more eligible to go to the Heaven... or something like that.

I'm obsessed with languages so this set was hilarious for me.
I'm constantly amazed how high the average quality is of the comedians on Dry Bar, and it seems that most of the ones I've seen are local Utah comedians. Bengt's great bit about swearing caused me to ponder: is the average Utahan standup comedian funnier than the average U.S. standup because due to the pervasive Mormon restrictions in place, comedians' usual (formidable) weapons of funny swearing, raunchy material, and such are essentially removed from their arsenal, requiring them to hone all their other comedy chops to a higher degree?
Don't get me wrong - I'm a big fan of plenty of "dirty" material and comedians too, but I wonder if there's something to this "beneficial handicapping" hypothesis in this case. Or is it just that there's more existential angst than average in Utah? 😉
I forbade my kids to use swear words, but not for the “standard” reason. I told them I expected them to be more creative in expressing themselves, and vulgar language is usually incredibly boring. My son in particular got a kick out of Elizabethan and Victorian insults; he also made up his own words.
@@llamasugar5478 Nice! "'Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish!"
When my brothers and I were kids, we also made up a bunch of our own vulgarities, though in our case it was more to establish workable euphemisms for words banned by our parents.
These comedians take English to a higher level... They seek out the words that hit the nail on the head... They also hone their facial expressions and their delivery... So they're like the cum laude graduates of Comedy College....

You are exactly right, DanHarkless. Right on both counts.
Laughing out loud alone like a maniac. This guy is hilarious!!!
I love that he jokes about things that nobody does.
I am very happy you say this! I try to find different topics

@@Nina-cd6uw I mean - I try to talk about things that aren't already covered by other comics.
Side note, this is the waffle iron character: 田 (rice field) and this is the broken television character 歯 (tooth).That was my first thought, anyway lol.

Justine Taylor some say it’s actually 只 when it comes to the broken television. I guess we’ll never know!
I laughed so much and so hard that I literally choked and had to hit pause for quite a while. Everything he said was hilarious! I'd love to see him in person. Now I'm repeatedly clearing my throat from choking.

Deputydog1122 I’m so glad someone caught that cheesy joke, love it 😂

“Why spank the butt when you can chemically spank the brain?”

The best part of my day was watching this with my husband and just dying over the married jokes. I always thought they were symbols of an unhealthy marriage. And then I got married. We loved these jokes
glad you can enjoy the pain together.
He would be an amazing teacher!
