I am desperate to read that some people have not understood that this parody makes a fool of BOTH Sarkozy and Merkel.
The Germans are not proud of this portray of Merkel, they show her intentionally ridiculous, delusional and megalo. And also she knows how to get Sarkozy in her bed!
I think some people are unable to grasp the humor of other people, especially when it comes from the Germans since they are their excuse not to reflect about their own history i.e. they are not allowed to be funny!
Well, with the rise of Germanophobia in the french left parties, I don't know if it's good to show the french present as a servant of Merkel. When I see this video, I'm worried about what the German think of the rest of Europe......
All those irresponsible European leaders drove their economies right into the ground, and we will once again become the paymaster of Europe.
We see how US/UK rating agencies declare war on the Euro-zone to throw a smokescreen over the actual problem, which is the MILLION TIMES WORSE US-Dollar.
At the same time their disgusting media fans fear of a German 4th Reich, even though we NEVER asked to become the kindergartener of a decaying Europe.
So sad to see how many people here are engaged in insulting one another and other nations...
What happened to tolerance and respect, and simply good manners? Grow up, and take criticism with dignity.
And given what is happening in Europe right now, I do not see how this video is insulting anyone... It perfectly reflects the state of the today's matters... I personally see it as a brilliant piece of satire...
Why does this have to turn into a racism issue? @ludvan67 people like you make me sick, if you don't find it funny then fine but you do not have to insult a race because of it! This is just some one stating their opinion of what the euro summit is like. You can find it funny or not but please do not insult a race because of it. I am German and proud to be, I find it a little but funny as it is a tradition to watch it in Germany on New Years eve and therefore a parody, to me is funny. Please sto
This is supposed to be funny? The German sense of humour escapes me yet again. Maybe after a few Schnäpse they laugh at it, all I could do was cringe. Lame and misses the mark completely.
and for germans to do this video is also pretty appalling. It shows also you have little knowledge of what is going on. To be funny, you need to be clever. You fail on both account here.
there are people comparing Merkel to Hitler and idiots to believe them so I don't think there is any need to stir things up and add negative things on merkels back.
I'm doing stand up comedy myself and i know when humour might become a weapon and can be hurtful. This is simply not funny , it's propaganda.
I don't know how making such a stupid vid will make things better. I'm french and I trust Merkel. French are not disciplined, spend more than what they have and we have a crook for President. She is tough but she has good reasons to be. She faces, almost alone, the worst financial crisis since the second world war. You don't succeed if you're not tough. Once again, I'm french and if we get out of this crisis, I will butler for Merkel anytime!
@ludvan67: You contradict yourself, on the one hand you say we ain't got no humor but on the other u say the subtitles are funny.. Oops.
Btw, how you can say we Germans are stupid? You got any problem with us? I'm proud on my homeland and my people, so tell me who the hell you think u are that you can insult us? ..Suckers like you make me sick.
@WinklePublishing maybe you should start learning how to use youtube before lecturing the Germans. In this particular case, you need to press the CC button on the bottom of the video, to enable the sub-titles.
Excellent! I knew of this in its original form from German colleagues and this new adaption also very funny. Proves the Germans do have a sense of humour after all. Soon they will be able to laugh about gassing all those jews and also about Dresden etc getting the benefit of RAF re-development. Hohohohoho. Happy New Year, lets see who is happy at the end of it.
This is very funny. The original was in English in the best music hall tradition and the Germans seem to be able to cope with that. Once you get the idea the sub-titles juist give you a few hints. The genius is in the tone and actions. Anybody who can't get it should concentrate on watching so-called american comedy on day time tv which doesn't have sub-title because its viewers can't read.
I think this works well in Germany because the sketch is so familiar to them - I'd never heard of it until today. It glosses over a large part of the scene so assumes viewers know it by heart. I guess the joke comes from an idea that only two people are running the summits (others departed) however one's delusional and the other's an incapable drunk. Who said there's no truth in comedy?
This is based on the original and excellent short 18-minute comedy sketch Dinner For One, in which British comedienne May Warden plays upper-class Miss Sophie who is hosting an exquisite dinner for four close friends to mark her birthday. But because she has outlived them all, her butler James - played by Freddie Frinton - has to impersonate each guest but gets progressively drunk with each toast. The heads on this remake are a bit too big for the bodies, but it's funny anyway.
I think this would be quite funny if the subtitles were written in better english. I wish I understood the original! gcse german really not helping unless somebody asks their german exchange partner where the bus station is...

They also can't do central banking or fiscal policy, which is even less funny then this clip.
