As a German one knows the typical stereotypes others tell about oneself abroad.
Most of them are really supid and - to an extraordinary percentage - incorrect.
But these stereotypes here are somehow different, not that plain - and I can tell you: Here it seems like a high percentage of the stereotypes introduced is correct, at least partly! ^^
Most of these are just plain stupid. Now if you say 'Germans can't take a joke' - fine. I can't laugh about false stereotypes about my country anymore. Sad thought, a lot of people still think Adolf Hitler is our chancellor........ which is a bit like saying 'George Washington is still president of the US'. A lot of people still call us Nazis. Pathetic.
OK it is about stereotypes so it can't be wrong, but Germany is the biggest electricity exporter in Europe. That thing with relying on french atomic energy is probably told by the Japanese nuclear lobby.
This is pretty stupid. The music sucks and these aren't even stereotypes. They seem more like peoples attempts at bashing Germany. Are the Japanese mad because a German dog has more living space than they do?
Vier is correct. We take pride in questioning the logic and reasoning of things, and if it doesn't equate to humor then we Germans reject it more often than not. Leave blindness to the sheep.
I really like the vid(and I am german) of cause it is a bit overdone but thats steriotypes always are. I really had to laugh at some points, because it reminded me to some people.
And of cause we weren't defeated by France in the WW2(WW1 neither), France was beaten in 6 weeks and the Americans had to free it.
Oh and to the nuclear: We get the electricity and the French the nuclear waste, good deal don't you think so?
@Aqui1us you dipshit, france builds all its nuclear power-plants right next to their borders so that in case of a explosion their neighbours will be poluted aswell. and they send all their nuclear waste to a place in germany. so they have the electricity but share the waste.
you don't speak for the japanese people. your stereotypes are ridiculously disproportionate. i've seen a german stereotypes video that presents some americans stating things about germany. but this video is just full of indefensible affronts.
@shadowhunting: Aha, ich bin Deutscher und weder “germanisch orientiert” - was auch immer das bedeuten mag - noch okkult. Himmler z.B. war wirklich ein esoterischer Spinner, Hitler eher weniger. Was das aber mit Germanen zu tun hat, leuchtet mir nicht ein. Das „Germanentum“ im Dritten Reich hatte herzlich wenig mit den historischen „Germanen” (eine Fremdbezeichnung für eine Menge Stämme, wie die Skythen oder Kelten) zu tun.
@albedoshader Ja natürlich wurde alte historische Germanentum für Propagandazwecke missbraucht und war auch in völlig falscher Auslegung fester Bestandteil der Nazideologie. Heraldik und Symbolik waren an das Germanentum angelehnt, aber in völlig abweichender Form. Ich bin auch nicht "germanisch orientiert", aber Hitler hatte schon früh wahnhafte Vorstellungen und hat sich eher mit dem heutigen Deutschland verbunden gefühlt als mit seiner Heimat Österreich.
these stereotypes aren't all true either, but rather more intelligent than the typical ones, so they get closer to an image of the "average german" - if he exists.
I really liked number 9 with the nuclear power stations abolished and then buying electricity in france.. in a way reality is similar ^^ but we show the will to have it all from regenerative energy ;)
and point "zehn" is true either.. in a way. of course hitler was austrian and you can forget about italy - except for holidays ;)
oh yes beer and water are the same i went two days without a beer and almost died of dehydration . beer and water not the same . maybe not where you live
I think many of these stereotypes contain indeed a grain of truth.
the only complete wrong thing is, that germany imports electricity from other countries.
Germany is one of the biggest power exporters in europe (more than france)
There are countries that make precautions knowing that fossil fuels will reach their end in 2020 and there are countries that also take precautions knowing that uranium wil reach its end in 2035
That one with the national anthem is a popular fallacy - even in Germany. In fact the complete "Deutschlandlied" with all 3 strophes is the German national anthem. But there is a decree by Konrad Adenauer which says that only the 3rd strophe should be sung on ceremonial occasions. It's not culpable to sing the 1st or 2nd strophe.
With the national anthem? It's not really problematic because there are some verdicts but there are so many people still believing that it's forbidden to sing "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" (Germany, Germany above all).
There are so much rumours and there is so much superficial knowledge about the third Reich. Same thing about the Fraktur (old German font): The people think, it's typical NS although Hitler has banned it in 1941 (he defamed it as "Schwabacher Judenletter")!
But the situation in the former GDR was much more weird. Because they sung the antheme until someone in the leading party had something against the words "...Deutschland, einig Vaterland." (Germany, united Fatherland). And it was not sung from the beginning of the 1970ies to 1989.
@AndreR241: The truth is: Germany has no official anthem. Though the third verse of the "Deutschlandlied" (Germany song) is widely accepted as national anthem. The first verse of the Deutschlandlied ("Deutschland über alles ...") is prohibited.
The whole Deutschlandlied was written by Fallersleben in 1841.
@MaiusGermanicus No, it's not ;). Ok, to be honest, there is a de facto prohibition, because if you sing it, everyone will think, you are a Nazi. But there is no single law that forbids you to sing the 1st and 2nd stanza.
Point 1 and 6 are a contradiction and Germany borders Austria and Swiss in the south, France is in the west.
Hitler was in fact from Austria and got the german citizenship later. The french army was beaten and did not really take part in the conclusion of the 2nd worldwar. The ones who overpowered the Wehrmacht were the Russians(former naziallies) and their masses.
There were several sterotypes which fit me quite well, whereas I am not a friend of the shutdown of nuclear powerplants.
