@11Kralle it's because his mother's father was an austrian Jew so he learned it in his childhood. An his nannies were all from Scandinavia and Germany. actually he's very good at German., love to see the few times, when he speaks it.
@christschinwon Hahaha, "kampenwagon"... That defenitely isn't a word... ;D Sorry, I just find it very funny. Especially the fact you don't know sth. like "Hallo, wie geht es Ihnen?" (=Hello, how are you) but that you can tell you're not the owner of the camping car, haha... XD May I ask where you got that from? :)
that actually isn't a joke... i translate it for you:
heidi: good day johann you smell right
johann: thank you, you too.
so... it's just funny that the grammar isn't right, i mean... in german you would use "gut" instead of "richtig" ... so it would be "you smell good" and not "you smell right" ... and they make fun about the picture you have in your head when you think about German people... with the oktober fest you know...
and sry if my english isn't very good... i'm german and i
@BadStella100 The translation is actually perfect, since he says that the name of the sketch is 'Heidi and Johann Smell Just Right', which you wouldn't say in English, either.
(and just for those who like to know that, I got some informations)
1- They speak German. NOT swissgerman, that`s a different kind of Language, An sounds for english people more like russian or kind of that. (btw. I`m swiss)
2- (I guess you aren`t ignorant Idiots) so you know that`s in German not funny nor gramatically correct ;)
Lacking coherence... the accent is far from being Swiss, clothes aren't Swiss either.

@this919 Do you know who you are talking about? They are The Fry and The Laurie.
Come back when people on youtube add a barkin 'The' before your name.
But you are right. They clothes are far from authentic.
