  • Why is there black bars on the side if it's in WS? I might edit this and re-upload it.

  • @UsernameHasExpired

    I was an idiot, and didn't know how to do proper uploads at the time. I would re-upload it, but the current view count would be lost.

  • Dark humor at it's finest

    Thumbs up germany !

  • What the heck, Germany.

  • This is a safety video from HELL!!

  • Just watched on AOTS :)

  • HAHAHAAHA!!!

  • Final Destination 6?

  • If you speak German watch "Friseuse Claudia" & "Elektriker Horst" They're very funny, too. Unfortunately only in German and no English subs.

  • ahaha what the hell

  • or maybe Happy Tree Friends

  • that should be Elfen lied

  • Comment removed

  • Can someone please explain to me how the hell Klaus got his license?

  • Ladies and gentleman we proudly introduce final destination 6

  • Hahaha. I laughed my arse off!

  • ...bit much.

  • "Did zat sting? Saw-ry!"

  • does anyone know if people use this video for training people about the importance of safety and regulations

  • @MegaBumblebee666 They do!

    

  • @MegaBumblebee666

    actually they do lol

  • @MegaBumblebee666 I just got the fork lift license and the instructor had this video as a joke but he played a more serious one later.

  • @slask25 makes sense. Oh and congrats on getting your license

  • @MegaBumblebee666 Yes, they< do- Meant to be a satire on safety films, '"Gabelstaplerfahrer Klaus" has made it to become a "must" for anybody who has to do with storage and forklifts.

  • This one is a classic, still funny!

  • Just another day at the office

  • 7:15 mark with the shot reverse shot of the guy wearing the ear protection. priceless.

  • Who'd a thunk the germans could be this funny. Shame the whole safety point of the video is lost

  • Damn Germany, you scary!

  • why is this funny?

    too slow

  • This was more entertaining and funny than most Hollywood movies. ^^

  • Hitler needs to react to this.

  • I didn't think Germans had a sense of humor

  • @TheMrRanz

    yeah, how would you know as we don't speak american.

  • @WakingMajority

    I can see you writing this in a house build on the side of a natives village, while being served by your african slave.

  • For god sakes! In my workplace, if there is an intersection or an entrance, we HONK THE HORN ONCE to let people know we're coming in on a forklift! >_<

  • I just love the fact that hes still all happy after having killed and mutilated 2 people

  • Klaus is a mass murderer!

  • I want to go to Germany!

  • WHY KLAUS

    WHY

  • Is it wrong that the whole Final Destination-style domino effect at the end had me rolling on the floor for ages?! X-'D Best. Safety Film. EVER!

  • shit happends

  • i fuel airplanes at an airport and they used this instructional video during training yesterday, purely because it shows to follow procedures safely (fueling a plane is more than just hookin up a tanker truck to a plane and fueling it, there are plenty of ways that fucker can light up like a huge molotov cocktail if you dont follow proper bonding/leak/etc. procedures), whether its a different job or not. all of us laughed watching this, the germans are fucked up haha love it.

  • Mein gott, Klaus!

  • When Hollywood will remake this movie?

  • @GameBoyPL1991 Never, they will wreck it lol

  • lolol fucking klaus 

  • this is a comedy slasher

  • I LOVE THIS <3<3<3<3<3

  • Why was he still holding the chain saw?

  • Hilariously morbid.

  • Forklift Drivers of the World Unite! ... thx for posting this :D

  • bye bye Klaus! :)

  • they used this on a training course at nissan

  • "Break, mate!" LOL :)

  • That was hilarious! my stomach hurts

  • Man, I wish I would've known all this before I got on the forklift on my first day. Maybe those 142 people would still be alive. Oh well.

  • Klaus you fool! You'll doom us all!

  • Does it really translate as "In plain english: forklifts" even though they're speaking german?

  • @SpiderInABath

    No, the narrator is saying "auf gut Deutsch: Gabelstapler", which literally translates as "in good german: forklifts".

    They just used the english equivalent "in plain english: forklifts" in the subtitles.

  • @SpiderInABath Gabelstapler is the term used in everyday language. "Fork staker", so to speak. The proper term is to be heard in the beginning of the film:" motorbetriebene Flurförderzeuge", but nobody uses that term except the firms that build and sell them, or safety engineers.

    "Flur" is used for anything low, compares to English "floor" of course.

    "fördern" means to lift, to raise...

    Zeug means "stuff", "thing" "tool", mostly in combines: Fahrzeug- vehicle, Flugzeug- plane

  • Forklift in German is "Stapler?" lol

  • @CountArtha In German (or at least, in Dutch, probably the same in German) "staple" means "stack" or "pile". So "stapler" is "stacker".

  • Wow, I feel like a bad person for laughing at this!

  • This isn't a safety video this Final Destination 5

  • Best safety video ever!

  • Final Destination: First day in work

  • Monty Python does a safety video.. i show this during my forklift training classes.

  • BAHAHAHA I LOVE GERMANS!

  • I remember watching this years ago on Channel 4. Not seen it for ages and still proper funny. Nice one for the upload!

  • I never laughed so hard at cut heads and limbs.

  • Klaus : Employee of the month.

  • Klaus is sure to get employee of the month.

  • that was both hilarious and and exhaustively demonstrated the basics of trucks, loved it

  • Well, this is actually the usual way how Germans get taught to be careful. I'm still suffering from nightmares after watching a video that was meant to teach children how to use knife and fork at lunch (you can't imagine that massacre - blood and guts everywhere!). I only use a spoon since then - even for pizza and steak ;)

    Nooooo - just kidding ;)

  • Oh, there is a subtitled version of this? :D Thought this video is only popular in germany. The voice is the original narrator of driving school educational movies. That's what it makes so funny. I really thought it's just one of those movies. And then bam, it gets a gory video XD

  • He triiiied to kill me with a forkliiift~

  • klaus is not a very good employee

  • Forklift Driver Klaus: The First Day on the Job.

    What you idiot missing about : A parody on a safety instruction video for forklift drivers follows young Klaus as he begins his first day on the job as a qualified forklift truck driver. The film spoofs the original genre very effectively, notably through employing the best-known German narrator of instructional video clips on traffic safety for the voice-over.

  • So I take it Klaus had a bad day then?

  • Only in (semi-) Eastern Europe...

    I lol'd.

  • Pretty funny that a Shenmue thread lead me here.

  • reminds me of a really funny version of the Final Destination movies

  • it's like something out of Peter Jackson's 'Brain Dead'

  • Is this from the same country that decided the standard version of Team Fortress was too violent and had all the characters replaced with robots?

  • @dccmpbll Actually, you can buy the original version of TF in Germany. The same goes with TF2. But you have to proove that you're 18 years or older. And the german law makes a difference between violence as satire (like this movie) and glorifying violence (like TF).

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • An instructional video, as directed by Sam Raimi with a shoestring budget. (Bruce Campbell was unavailable that week, unfortunately.)

  • My forklift trainer told me about this, its Awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • Why does Klaus still have a job?

  • I haven't laughed so hard in years! Brilliant!

  • Holy God! That was like Final Destination, but good!

  • Ol Klaus here amasses quite the bodycount.

  • THIS was amazing!!! XDDDDD

  • This is the best version I've seen. Great translating on the subs.

  • I'm teaching a forklift class later this week and SO want to use this!!! Does anyone have a link for download by chance???

  • @ethaera

    You could download it itself if you have Any Video Converter.

    I may download this myself. If you still need it by the time you get this, I could link you to it.

  • It's funny because it's true... xD

  • One good thing about Klaus losing his head, he won't hear it when his boss fires him.

  • 10/10 for Pmsl

  • I remember watching this in my 3rd semester German class and it gets funnier every time!

  • Holy crap, Germany.

  • I was shown this vid when i got my counterbalance licence in the UK

  • That was sick.. and discusting.. and like.. SO TOTALY FUCKING COOL :D

  • Germans... when they want to be expressive, they really try

  • forklift licenses... thats as silly as the sewing machine license kids had to get in a school here

  • Hilarious :D

  • Hah! Now that's funny! If only training videos were actually funny like this, they wouldn't be so awful to sit through!

  • This is the song written for the train chase

    This is the song for Rocky and Ken

    He tried to kill me with the forklift

    Olé!

  • this shit is hilarious lol but also pretty effective!

  • rofl

  • Comment removed

  • That was great but I think it's even better when you cannot understand a word they're saying. Then it's really WTF!!!

  • @Mikemc Then you miss the punchline, it is not just makabre slapstick. It is the voice in the background, as other users here have commented on: HE was THE VOICE for an educational TV-programme, the "7th sense",about rad safety!!! Try finding it here on youtube , "Der 7. Sinn", it ran for years and years.

    The joke is that in the first dangerarous situation the comment is parallel to the action ( mind where you are going), later the comments are just harmless compared to what is going on.

  • @Jeansschwimmer In the scene when Klaus bores his fork through the man who has just wiped off the noodle from his jacket the voice tells us that wearing ear protection is of the highest importance when noisy machinery is around. In fact that kills the man, because he does not hear Klaus coming.

  • @Jeansschwimmer Watch for the secene when the bloke with the noodle on his coat gets bored through. The voice tells us something about the importance of wearing ear protection when noisy machinery is around.

    Pictures and text are diverted more and more throughout the film. That is like school, when a bad teacher does something and thinks he is teaching, while the kids do something different.

  • lol i'm english and there are alot more checks then JUST THAT !!!

    lights.. seat belt. chair.. forkls.. carridge plate.. rate capacity plate etc etc.. mass.. sterring.. accelerate.. hydrolics.. etc

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ÄLSKAR SPLATTERKOMEDIER!!!! xD xD xD xD xD :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

  • Best. Safety video. EVER

  • he just doesn`t lose his job^^

  • well I'm sure as shit not going to fuck around when around forklifts now

  • seriously, learn to drive a fucking forklift

  • this is the best vid i av ever seen 10 out of 10

  • OMG i just... nvm

  • My teacher called that blody movie

  • Omg...That was some funny shit! is this real? (like a real training video?)

  • @ERRORxakaRay

    yea, in anywhere but the United states, people are completly unafraid of offending anyone, such that car safety ads involve lots of gore, and as a child when i was visiting Poland, i often saw ads involving sex and titties on daytime TV

    completely normal there, would be unprofessional and absurd here

  • @MolotovDaSkwerl Nah It'd Be Sweet to me lol

  • @ERRORxakaRay No, it is parody,. the best thing about this is the fact that it was possible to employ two eperts for the job. The actor who plays "Klaus" is the" arch-loser" Whatever he tries goes wrong. You know, there are the eternal villains, the eternal victims....

    The other thing is 'THE VOIVE for instructional films about traffic safety. Watch out for "Der 7. Sinn" here on youtube, there may be some. It was a TV-programme that ran for years on end.

  • The funny thing is that some places that train people in driving forklifts accually use this as a instructional video.

  • @rakamig It's memorable enough to prove a point. One of the teachers at my high school died because he was speared in the chest with a forklift. If those kids had watched this they might not have been so reckless.

  • @rakamig

    Thats right but only as a Joke!

    ;-)

  • @rakamig I wish my work used this vid. lol

  • @rakamig They don't, they do show it however to lighten the mood.

  • @rakamig not funny - warning. they use it to warn us idiots to be careful with forklifts.

  • @rakamig - Yes it's true. I now train on forklifter use , and our instructor play this movie to us :)

  • @rakamig Yes sir, That was the first thing they showed me before even introducing themself.

  • @rakamig I promise you man I had to watch this video before I got forklift's driving license here in germany.

  • @rakamig thats how i got here :D got my license last week

  • @rakamig no they don't. It's supposed to be an obvious fake of such instructional videos.
