That guy's my cousin. Thank goodness my parents didn't get a double-barrelled surname.

[Afterthebattle]

I would like to see that guy's tombstone ...

Question 1: How on Earth could they memorize and say all this German abracadabra??

Question 2: How on Earth could they keep such poker faces while saying all this German abracadabra???

Answer to Q. 1 & 2: Because they are MONTY PYTHON!!!!!!

[wtfan]

@HelenaVanCity 1) it only takes about a week to get it down. The language barrier has very little to do with it if you focus on the syllables. Then again, they were graduates from Cambridge and Oxford, learning French and German are required for most grad students.

2) Either stare directly into the camera or put focus on the words rather than the sound in order to not get tongue twisted or laugh.

I also agree wholeheartedly with your answers.

[HelenaVanCity]

@wtfan Thank you for such detailed and professional answers, and for agreeing with mine ;-)))))

I also studied German at the university, but I be damned if I could do this Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon und so weiter und so fort thing. Let alone not cracking in front of the camera))

I swear to god I heard Applebanger in there somewhere. D=

[EmileJoulbert]

I enjoy the absurdity of an old man being interviewed on television, talking about his first encounter with a Baroque composer.

Of course, almost twenty years ago when I first saw this, I hadn't realized that the Baroque period -- at least musically -- more or less ended with the death of Bach, in 1750.

I probably was too hung up on the name.

I still remember it very well.

So, why the world never remembered it is really beyond me.

I wonder if they had in mind Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenberger­dorff...etc., Sr when they did this? His full name was 746 letters long. He had one first name for each letter of the alphabet, and his last name was 590 letters and tells some sort of story in German that I wish I could translate.

He has a Wikipedia page. It's /wiki/Wolfe%2B585,_Senior .

"Himbleeisen" there should be two words; "Eisenbahnwagen" means "railroad car".
