Clarkson does this on purpose. he ONLY finds negative stuff. I cant believe that he is actually causing you to have an arguement about which country is better. it makes you (germans, british and everyone else) just look STUPID. shame on you for not understanding comedy (even if its not the funniest around)
@damaxae93 Please calm down a little, it is only a TV programme. This is just the style of Jeremy Clarkson, he could as we say in England "start a row in an empty house ". It is just in the style of British humour, which is just a bit different from yours. I have some very good German friends and we have more in common with you than you may realise. I can assure you that Germany is considered very highly in the UK.So please relax a little.
@cellarman411no it was not meant like that :) i love the brits .... well apart from your water taps :D haha I've just come along a few very big assholes ..... with my comment i was not talking to brits exclusively...i was talking to everyone who still thinks were little nazis doing everything on clockwork....were not and I'm pretty lazy actually :D haha....and i especially love jeremy :) he should rule the world in my opinion :P
@WayneBurgess1 well we did that already: airbus, eurocopter and the eurofighter involved brits, germans and other european countries. but i totally agree with what you said about all the haters. its not just the people though. the british government is doing a pretty good job at seperating england from the rest of europe at the moment and thats causing the peoples of these countries to develope a hate for each other. sad but true
i m berliner ... i can tell you i think the brits are often arrogant selfish spoiled assholes with a gay accent .... like jeremy that fucker here .... mention how he already says Görmäns at the beging ... so ein Spasst ... !!
the music is called "schlager" and trust me jeremy, we dont listen to that crap. i dunno where you were then, but deff not near a city which tunes in on to normal radio channels playing good normal music.
this is just wrong, clarkson should know about his responsibility. young people listen to him, using WW2 stereotypes and making a whole country look bad doesnt do any good and kills all the effort done within the last years. so we are stupid krautz, thats it? this way of thinking is so out of date! wake up!
this is not a car on top gear, this is a country! show some respect clarkson!!!
wow..I thought this was actually gonna be a serius video about germany.. but obviously it's impossible for the british to reflect on germans neutrally.. way to go. even the americans got around to that after all.......................
I will never travel to germany after seeing this. I have never seen a more negative and boring country. ok maybe 2 things are cool, the green hell and autobahn. But thats it!
You can't request Jeremy Clarkson to make a fair review about Germany... Most he said and showed is bullshit, but I guess it's what the Brits want to see. Still it's amusing.
But how can you judge our country, if you have never been to Germany?
@Hhutuber No you are wrong my Grandfather was a very Eurocentric man he could speak 4 languages. He spoke Italian to his God, French to the ladies, English to men and German to his horse.
@Hhutuber The only reason for a British person to Speak German is if the only people he knew were Germans. And if that was the case he would move. Of course horses and Germans are very similar except horses don't always do as they are told.
I say old chap, British football fans are a select group and are not good ambassadors. Btw an "ass" in English is a type of donkey, the word is arse. I agree with you about the cars, not sure about the beer though?
@ 3:03 "But of course, there's so much more to Germany than a dodgy past, and bad music". What about Bach, Beethoven and Brahms? You can't call that bad music can you? I hope Jezza was only referring to the common culture.
clarkson just provocated these people in Berlin and this idiot in the city of Cologne and just wanted to see how Germans acting to his Comments.i am german and i dont have any problems with english or french people.i feel myself like a cosmopolitan human.live and let live.enjoy live make some good money and enjoy the stuff you buy from it.
Is this really a problem??? There are quite a lot of things going wrong in the UK, but these well-educated people have to mention the taps!?!? It's really a shame!
the thing about german music is funny. even the british national anthem is a copy of a german song listen to "heil dir dem siegerkranz" and you know where the british anthem comes from.
@Kretika Für so einen dummen Kommentar muss man sich als Deutscher ja glatt schämen....Selbst keine Vorurteile gelten lassen,aber uralte Klischees bedienen...
Everybody should watch 'Germany vs USA' by the users 'Alex and Jim' on this site or from my user page. It gives a better source of those two countries than Jeremy Clarkson's narrowminded stereotyping b/c Alex (the German) and Jim (the American) actually discuss topics more in depth and there is less cherrypicking.
About 'bad' music, which is subjective, I think German bands like Rammstein, Oomph, Wir Sind Helden, make great music that actually never get old, so what Clarkson showed may have been stereotypical. Also, I agree with the Germans that hot and cold water should make one tap since its easier. Like them, I do pee sitting down with no carpet b/c it's sanitary unless I'm at a public urinal.
@unknownunknowns ahhh the old rivalry between english island monkeys and the german teutonic masterrace hhaaaaaaa it is like kindergarden.we are all in the same boat or not???? i am german but i am cosmopolitan human.
Jeremy does a huge disservice to himself and his fans reffering to Nazi era Germany so much ..... The German's have a great and strong culture... 50 years of poor leadership doesn't make them bad people.
I love Germans. They are my best neighbours (: You can laugh at them but you can also laugh with them. But Jeremy is right about one thing: German music sucks haha! Greetings from Holland!
@misssurfing ahhhh holland you guys must shut up your native language sucks and your music sucks too but i am honest german schlager music sucks more . i like holland my auntie comes from the little cute border city of Venlo
I really dont see why someone would go through the trouble of travelling through a beautyfull and diverse country and search for every little thing thats potentially wrong with it...I just dont get it. I know jeremy has a huge audience, why then feed on stereotype thinking?
anyway, we germans havent done anything bad to the brittish since the war, so I`ll just give u the credit that u dont all really buy into this. come visit if u are in doubt.
I don't get the thing about the taps. I live in the States (and been to several other countries) and we/they have a single tap where we can mix the water temperature.
He must be very good at making certain countries look horrid, because germany had VERY deep debt from ww2 and recovered quickly yet america and britain took quite a while to recover... otherwords there economy is obviously more stable i'm from the u.s. and do say that if our economy was nearly as flexible or easily repared i wouldn't mind our president making mistakes as much...
I love Jeremy and I'm from Germany. He has a great sense of humor and I love his sarcasm. He's just going after all the cliches... And there are some Germany who can pronounce the "th" and other stuff properly ^^
He didn't paint a bad view of Germany. Clarkson certainly isn't stupid.He actually sympathises with the German people and their traumatic past at the end.
This is a program made to be aired in Britain. The British understand how he is joking and that he is showing the best and worst of Germany. In one hour, he does a good job capturing a flavour of different parts of Germany.
He also refers to Spain as "the sponge of Europe." Who wants to be a sponge? But it's a compliment, British-style.
We germans just wait for your government to realise that we need to stick together. Gordon Brown was mess, but Merkel and Cameron like each other and they agree in most issues.
Today we have a strong german-france brotherhood and it's a wonderful story of success in which both of our countries benefit. We strive for the same relations to Britain because we share even more similarities. In fact we are cousins.
Cameron and Merkel like each other? That's totally irrelevant, even if it's true. Cameron is seriously anti-Europe and so are most of the Tory party. You'd have been far better off dealing with Brown or Blair. As for Merkel, Wikileaks summed it up - uncreative and unable to make important decisions!
They agree on most of the important issues when it comes to EU, and Germany would be anti-european too, but you (France and Britain) made it a condition of the german reunification treaty: No reunited Germany without a united Europe, so we payed dearly for our reunification. You did this because you feared a strong Germany (to start WW3? lol)
Those Wikileaks cables are overrated. British or German diplomats write down the same nonsense about french, american, italian politicians.
@Lintflas oh be careful family business like this cousins are respectfuly careful to be handled.sure the french and english got a lot of german influences franken und saxons
I travelled to Britain and met many lovely people there. Many English begin to realise that their media tries to brainwash them about germany. This "propaganda" movie is just another great example. The british newspapers who compare the germans football jerseys with nazi uniforms don't represent the opinion of most English.
In germany we use the daily sun and daily mirror as toilet paper and laugh about it.
@Lintflas well the sun and mirror are both tabloids so not greatly reliable and to have great tendencies to over exaggerate , but they are the most sold papers in britain though which is kinda scary, i prefer broadsheets such as the independent and the guardian, far more reliable :P
@Lintflas Im english and couldn't agree with you more! I don't look at most of the media it is so bad. Been to Germany and loved it myself great place
But one thing (the music) is not that representive, people over 50 really listen to the crap he was hearing on the radio all the time but even at the time this was shot there was other German music...
Well, I think you shouldn't take this too serious. I've been watching Top Gear for years now and I think it's just Jeremy complaining about everything like he always does. I'm from Germany and of course he's only showing you "wrong" bits of Germany. However, that's what this program was made for. Where's the fun in showing you how great this country can be? And since he made this a lot has changed around here.
@HellwrathUK Yes we have those here too. I am still confused. Germany has strange toilets with a shelf midway down what's that for? Never mind our taps.
@HellwrathUK I can't stand UK taps. What's the point of having either ice cold or boiling hot water? Why can't you have lukewarm water? Also we do have a mixed tap in the UK but it's not properly mixed or something because part of the water is cold and the other part is hot. It's very inconvenient.
@ednuttah LOL i didn't think there was anywhere but the 3rd world where the taps weren't already mixed. Hell, even in Canada, there is one handle, one tap, it all mixes, hardly anyone has two taps here, unless for being 'quaint'
@mard420 Well I think all owners of ANY taps should be grateful they HAVE running water at all. 72% of the world's population walk more than 5 miles everyday to obtain clean fresh drinkable water.
I have to say that guy is really funny and he knows the art of generalising to the greatest possible extent. LOL. I would break out in 'ostalgic' tears if I saw a Trabant. They are so rare, like those meetings! The 'Lennon' part was awesome. Yup, it's: Leeehhhhniiihhhn for us.
Hope he's ironic. LOL. I'll watch the rest now until the part where he says: just kidding, Germany's cool. XD
LOL. Where have you been driving? The next time you drive your car around Berlin and Brandenburg turn on the Radio Station "FRITZ" on 102.6, or 103.2 depending on where you are driving. "BBC Radio 1" sounds like a Grandma Station compared to this. Berlin itself might be tight on Money, but that is just one town compared to the whole U.K. basically being bankrupt and hopelessly indebted.
He cant even pronounce Lenin properly. (LOL,..Lennon) Go home Brit. And BTW, that was a DDR Nostalgia Party.
@DaRealHess This program is old. When it was made the UK was not in a recession and the pound was on the rise. People getting foreign place names wrong is no big deal, you try going to wales and reading the name of a town. I think he was talking about musical artists, not radio stations, of course, England has shite music so I've no rebuttal. I think you've failed to understand that this is an entertainment program intended to be humourous, not a serious documentary.
No - turst me, Clarkson really only admires the British! Which is not a good point about him... Half of the English hate him. We find him funny, but he's an idiot.
@MilitantOldLady: "germans are the americans of europe....stubborn, stupid, rude, fat and a huge imigration problem" ... yeah it really shows, how you know all too well... you're just one of those basement-kids, that sits on the internet 24 hours a day and desperately tries to play hard & rough, because he has no friends in real life
That German woman at 1:21 needs hitting with a shovel with 'Made in England' on it, German women are up their own arses and the most miserable characters in Europe, German Blokes are OK but try to be too nice and civilised all the time but can be funny.
I understand his anger because those Germans were kind of offensive but the funny thing is he is talking about bankrupt Germany while Germany is economically doing alot better than the UK and is much less indebted. Also our roads are much better than UK roads why complain about German roads being British? lol
Germany is an awesome country. I love the place. Proper roads, proper trains, doesn't grind to a halt when leaves/rain snow falls. Their government supports their manucturing too, unlike our lame bunch of cocks who seem to want all the money in London & none beyond the home counties.
Clarkson does this on purpose. he ONLY finds negative stuff. I cant believe that he is actually causing you to have an arguement about which country is better. it makes you (germans, british and everyone else) just look STUPID. shame on you for not understanding comedy (even if its not the funniest around)

I travelled to Britain and met many lovely people there. Many English begin to realise that their media tries to brainwash them about germany. This "propaganda" movie is just another great example. The british newspapers who compare the germans football jerseys with nazi uniforms don't represent the opinion of most English.
In germany we use the daily sun and daily mirror as toilet paper and laugh about it.
Lintflas 1 year ago
@Lintflas well the sun and mirror are both tabloids so not greatly reliable and to have great tendencies to over exaggerate , but they are the most sold papers in britain though which is kinda scary, i prefer broadsheets such as the independent and the guardian, far more reliable :P

No, we don't

TheMisterMuh 1 year ago
since I watch Top Gear I can laugh about this ^^
But one thing (the music) is not that representive, people over 50 really listen to the crap he was hearing on the radio all the time but even at the time this was shot there was other German music...
xoxTOWELIExox 1 year ago
Well, I think you shouldn't take this too serious. I've been watching Top Gear for years now and I think it's just Jeremy complaining about everything like he always does. I'm from Germany and of course he's only showing you "wrong" bits of Germany. However, that's what this program was made for. Where's the fun in showing you how great this country can be? And since he made this a lot has changed around here.

@ednuttah I think some continental taps allow you to mix hot and cold together in one tap.

@HellwrathUK Yes we have those here too. I am still confused. Germany has strange toilets with a shelf midway down what's that for? Never mind our taps.

@HellwrathUK taps in the UK don't all combine the water?
osp80 1 year ago
@HellwrathUK I can't stand UK taps. What's the point of having either ice cold or boiling hot water? Why can't you have lukewarm water? Also we do have a mixed tap in the UK but it's not properly mixed or something because part of the water is cold and the other part is hot. It's very inconvenient.
kotapaka 9 months ago
@HellwrathUK Exactly. Indeed, I would go as far as to say that, at least in Northern Europe, 99% of taps installed after 1960 or so are mixing.

@ednuttah LOL i didn't think there was anywhere but the 3rd world where the taps weren't already mixed. Hell, even in Canada, there is one handle, one tap, it all mixes, hardly anyone has two taps here, unless for being 'quaint'
mard420 1 year ago
@mard420 Well I think all owners of ANY taps should be grateful they HAVE running water at all. 72% of the world's population walk more than 5 miles everyday to obtain clean fresh drinkable water.

I have to say that guy is really funny and he knows the art of generalising to the greatest possible extent. LOL. I would break out in 'ostalgic' tears if I saw a Trabant. They are so rare, like those meetings! The 'Lennon' part was awesome. Yup, it's: Leeehhhhniiihhhn for us.
Hope he's ironic. LOL. I'll watch the rest now until the part where he says: just kidding, Germany's cool. XD
MisusePerfected 1 year ago
LOL. Where have you been driving? The next time you drive your car around Berlin and Brandenburg turn on the Radio Station "FRITZ" on 102.6, or 103.2 depending on where you are driving. "BBC Radio 1" sounds like a Grandma Station compared to this. Berlin itself might be tight on Money, but that is just one town compared to the whole U.K. basically being bankrupt and hopelessly indebted.
He cant even pronounce Lenin properly. (LOL,..Lennon) Go home Brit. And BTW, that was a DDR Nostalgia Party.
DaRealHess 1 year ago
@DaRealHess This program is old. When it was made the UK was not in a recession and the pound was on the rise. People getting foreign place names wrong is no big deal, you try going to wales and reading the name of a town. I think he was talking about musical artists, not radio stations, of course, England has shite music so I've no rebuttal. I think you've failed to understand that this is an entertainment program intended to be humourous, not a serious documentary.

That German woman at 1:21 needs hitting with a shovel with 'Made in England' on it, German women are up their own arses and the most miserable characters in Europe, German Blokes are OK but try to be too nice and civilised all the time but can be funny.

I understand his anger because those Germans were kind of offensive but the funny thing is he is talking about bankrupt Germany while Germany is economically doing alot better than the UK and is much less indebted. Also our roads are much better than UK roads why complain about German roads being British? lol

Germany is an awesome country. I love the place. Proper roads, proper trains, doesn't grind to a halt when leaves/rain snow falls. Their government supports their manucturing too, unlike our lame bunch of cocks who seem to want all the money in London & none beyond the home counties.
