with all due respect, i hate how people talk about world war 2 and the nazis being the worst era in human history. Genghis khan killed over 40 million people when he ruled and nobody ever talks about that!
Gemütlichkeit is not a german word only. We're saying "gezelligheid" in dutch. Which means basically the same thing. And it's one of the most annoying things to explain in english since there is no real translation for it...
Am I the only one who didn't need to know these things about their loo-habits? Great episode, though (: I love Sean and Rob. And Alan. And Jo. And Stephen. So maybe just all of them, even if they do put their glasses in their trousers when on the loo.
it's so interesting, I'm German and some of the facts are quite new to me ;) the Spuk-thingies for example XD but I really love the dinner for one fact because I watch this sketch nearly every year :)
If you've read Stephen's book 'The Liar' I'm hoping I'm not the only one who thought of the bit where adrian Bursts into song "How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?" 38:36
How is it that the English know less about borrowed German words than Americans? Or at least this group of English people. And not knowing about the relationship between Yiddish and German? The war probably has something to do with it.
Descendants of german immigrants make up a huge part of the north american population and yes, in Britain it is for various reasons fashionable to be ignorant of Germany. (it is historically speaking quite a new power to be fair, so that attitude might change in a few hundred years or so.)
@j4ck2234 But I thought the English prided themselves in knowing about other languages, countries and cultures, and that Americans are all ignorant fat cats? Of course that's not true. Why am I even posting.
@theEarlofChip There are a lot more German speakers in the US then there are in the UK. In one episode of QI it's mentioned that German was almost the main language of the States.
@hjt091 WAS is the key word there. Currently it's almost certainly less than a tenth of a percentage. Spanish, Chinese, and languages from other Pacific Asian countries all have far more speakers here. I suppose the borrowed words remain in use here for that reason, but very few people actually speak German. This excludes PA dutch, which comes from German but has become a different language, rather than dialect.
Rob is so right to wear long socks, I have some but more looking like long knitted socks than stockings andYEQ IT GIVES YOU THIS FEELING OF BEING INVINSIBLE. But the naked german german thingy living in geermany i'd like to know more. seriously getting paid to be naked and to some shores is just like the dream maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
@TheTheoldgit 1. That would really put me in my place if 'Germanic peoples' meant 'walked through Germany at some point' but it doesn't; the Germanic peoples and the Celtic peoples are entirely separate groups.
2. Last I checked it was ambiguous where the Celts originally came from anyway.
3. If you want to be that pedantic over a mildly amusing observation then a comedy video might not be the best place for you.
@Angdharagh Hark who´s talking! If your looking for an argument your at the wrong address .Coz the next thing you´ll do is mention hitler and then the game is up!
@JahBushi Only if Stephen plays the prison break mastermind, Rob plays the perpetually frightened sidekick, and Sean plays the eyecandy who bribes all the security guards with his body.
@2112murphy I'm close to 40, so depends whether that's a younger generation. :) Personally, my father experienced the end of WW2 as a 9-year old boy and could tell us from that period personally. So I have at least a little connection to my family's history during that time. Your question is definitely a good one. I assume from my education that schools today still cover the history of WW2 quite well (causes, politics, consequences, racism, genocide etc.). Hopefully that'll stick in their minds.
@2112murphy Yes, I was just jokingly reiterating Fry's line. WW2 is of course often discussed here, both publicly or privately, and there is no hinderance or reluctance to do so, which is good.
Dinner for one is not shown on every channel in Germany (it was when we only had 2 channels short after the period that is not to be mentioned). That naked cleaning service is also not more than a headline story years ago and certainly not a generally liked thing. Quite a twisted image of Germany presented, though it was funny anyway.

How can anyone miss the loo seat up or down? It's still a large target, only a foot an a half away, it would be like missing the broad side of a barn with a rifle.

In Fawlty Towers The Germans, and in QI Germany, both had a rule about not mentioning the war, and in both, they were probably mentioned more than if the rule was not there to begin with.

I am german. In England talking about Germans and Germany always leads to Hitler and Nazi-Stuff. Sad to see that...more then sixty years after the war.
The English are resting in the past. Sad to see that, too.
@jiltedkiller No one tries to brush something under a carpet, but the nazis are not similar with us Germans nowadays. Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Nazis were Germans.
The war is long ago...and I´m very happy that England has won it! The idea that Hitler would rule Europe is absolutely horrible even for us Germans, too. Btw, what is godwins law?
Well the majority of the nazis were germans so you could basicly say "all" nazis were germans. And the war is long ago? 1938-1945 isn't that long ago if you ask me.
@501028 That´s what they told you in school. Dutch children learn to know the German history from 1933-1945,only.For them there was nothing before and nothing after...
German pupils learn more about the Netherlands in history lessons.
By the way we beat you during the soccer-european-championship...once again!:-)))))))
We learn more about the germans but you know, 60 million kills, that's the stuff that sticks with you the most. I'm still wondering how you would know that we only learn about the second world war (which is not true).
@501028 You are right! Hitler´s war was a horrible crime. 60 million dead people are 60 million too much! I´m very sorry what happened to your country during the Nazi-occupation. For me, born 1966( The year when Prince Claus married your later Queen Beatrix) it is also unbelievable that something like the war and the holocaust could ever happen. But it´s a fact! Our generation has a great and special resonsebility in order to avoid something similar. Therefore we got the EU nowadays.
@501028 It is long enough for a generation of bright talented germans to show people with such short sighted vison that gremany is a wonderful country. <3 Germany from britain.
Godwins law is that the longer an argument lasts, the probability of someone mentioning the Nazis or Hitler increases. I think theres another part where whoever mentions it first has hence lost the argument but not sure on the last bit
@Eyyoh77 Godwins law states that any discussion on the internet, no matter the subject, will eventually conclude with a reference to the second world war and nazism, thus shutting down the discussion.
@Eyyoh77 As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[2][3] In other words, Godwin observed that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.
@Eyyoh77 I see they've already explained Godwin's Law, but I thought I'd mention that it's also called "Argumentum ad Hitlerum" and can be considered a logical fallacy (e.g. Hitler liked dogs, therefore dogs are evil, and so on).
The trouble with Godwin's law is that because the Nazis were such a great example of the state run amok, and too many people conflate a useful reference to the perils of national socialism with the logical fallacy.
Godwin's Law of Internet Debates is this: the longer any online discussion goes on, the odds of someone comparing or making reference to Hitler and the Nazis approaches 1:1, at which point the thread just devolves into "flaming" and should be henceforth abandoned.
@Eyyoh77 I don't think most Europeans think "Nazi" when they hear "German" anymore.
Right now they properly think "spending a lot of money on Greece (and others)".
We of cause shouldn't forget what happened in ww1&ww2 (kinda related, i doubt the 2nd would have happened if the ww1 surrender terms had been different, but that is another discussion), and make sure nothing like it happens again, but it makes no sense to have any recent of current living Germans because of it.
@Eyyoh77 My Granddad who fought in the second world war is still alive. I don't hold a grudge against modern Germans / Germany but please don't imply that it's somehow a criticism of the English just because we intentionally avoid discussing it.
I love this show , its a shame i didnt discover it any sooner , its true to its century i'd say with facts along comedy, as how it should be.

I am german. In England talking about Germans and Germany always leads to Hitler and Nazi-Stuff. Sad to see that...more then sixty years after the war.
The English are resting in the past. Sad to see that, too.

Well lets face it 50 million dead you can't really brush it under the carpet. Also godwins law applies in real life

@jiltedkiller No one tries to brush something under a carpet, but the nazis are not similar with us Germans nowadays. Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Nazis were Germans.
The war is long ago...and I´m very happy that England has won it! The idea that Hitler would rule Europe is absolutely horrible even for us Germans, too. Btw, what is godwins law?

Well the majority of the nazis were germans so you could basicly say "all" nazis were germans. And the war is long ago? 1938-1945 isn't that long ago if you ask me.

@501028 That´s what they told you in school. Dutch children learn to know the German history from 1933-1945,only.For them there was nothing before and nothing after...
German pupils learn more about the Netherlands in history lessons.
By the way we beat you during the soccer-european-championship...once again!:-)))))))

We learn more about the germans but you know, 60 million kills, that's the stuff that sticks with you the most. I'm still wondering how you would know that we only learn about the second world war (which is not true).

@501028 You are right! Hitler´s war was a horrible crime. 60 million dead people are 60 million too much! I´m very sorry what happened to your country during the Nazi-occupation. For me, born 1966( The year when Prince Claus married your later Queen Beatrix) it is also unbelievable that something like the war and the holocaust could ever happen. But it´s a fact! Our generation has a great and special resonsebility in order to avoid something similar. Therefore we got the EU nowadays.

@501028 It is long enough for a generation of bright talented germans to show people with such short sighted vison that gremany is a wonderful country. <3 Germany from britain.

Godwins law is that the longer an argument lasts, the probability of someone mentioning the Nazis or Hitler increases. I think theres another part where whoever mentions it first has hence lost the argument but not sure on the last bit

@Eyyoh77 Godwins law states that any discussion on the internet, no matter the subject, will eventually conclude with a reference to the second world war and nazism, thus shutting down the discussion.

@Eyyoh77 As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[2][3] In other words, Godwin observed that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.

@Eyyoh77 I see they've already explained Godwin's Law, but I thought I'd mention that it's also called "Argumentum ad Hitlerum" and can be considered a logical fallacy (e.g. Hitler liked dogs, therefore dogs are evil, and so on).
The trouble with Godwin's law is that because the Nazis were such a great example of the state run amok, and too many people conflate a useful reference to the perils of national socialism with the logical fallacy.

Godwin's Law of Internet Debates is this: the longer any online discussion goes on, the odds of someone comparing or making reference to Hitler and the Nazis approaches 1:1, at which point the thread just devolves into "flaming" and should be henceforth abandoned.

@Eyyoh77 I don't think most Europeans think "Nazi" when they hear "German" anymore.
Right now they properly think "spending a lot of money on Greece (and others)".
We of cause shouldn't forget what happened in ww1&ww2 (kinda related, i doubt the 2nd would have happened if the ww1 surrender terms had been different, but that is another discussion), and make sure nothing like it happens again, but it makes no sense to have any recent of current living Germans because of it.
