Usually, we Germans know how to pronounce "ginger ale" xD
Many may not know what it means, but it is a normal drink. 😂
She says "Allee", german for "alley"
@@dacarico ALLEE! ALLEE! Eine Straße, mit vielen Bäumen! Ja, das ist eine ALLEE! (Ich glaube das Lied war bei unserer Busfahrt nach Cannes im Abschlussjahr das beliebteste.)
its a very german thing to be so agry about wroing pronauciation ;)
No, false friend. Alley is Gasse in german. Allee in english is alameda or canopy i think :-)
concerning the filming and german laws... you are allowed to film in public, just not allowed to film people directly and individually. This was on the outskirts of some protests though, so that makes it a place of public interest and filming is allowed, especially because this guy comes up to the camera, thus by his own actions putting the spotlight onto himself.
Nazis just don't like being filmed doing Nazi stuff.
Thats defently not correct, rights on ur own picture law, first if u release it, its get a crime by law
@@RKSE79 Wrong. § 23 Abs. 2 KUG, no. 3: Persons participating in public assemblies, demonstrations and similar events do NOT have the right to their own image. This is one of only four exceptions.
@@vonBlankenburgLPBut the publication of this image maybe a violation of the GDPR law, because there is no such exception there.
But long story short, in the end it stays what i said, he was legally recorded there in first place. Greetz
The Percent Symbol with the two Zeros mean "Promille" in German. Its per Thousand. its used to measure Blood Alkohol
"per mille" is the english word for that, so, Ryan, you do have a word for that
@@Jackcaos nice to know. Google translate tells otherwise
In the US the blood alcohol concentration is measured in percent. So a BAC of 0.2 is 2 per mille. or 1/1000th.
@@Jackcaos Nice! That's cool. No one uses it.(well I'm sure in statistics they do or something)
It's also used on the displays of breathalyzers. I don't know if it calculates the blood alcohol from the breath, or if it just measures and shows the alcohol ‰ in the breath.
22:53 for reference: 0,5‰ is the legal limit in germany (0,8‰ in USA) 2‰ is heavy intoxicated over 4‰ is life-threatening
And 2% is easy, if you drink every day
4‰ is officially life threatening. There have been cases with almost 14‰
@@greeensmoker8607 I doubt it. 2% would be 20‰
And then there are these guys with more than 6 per mill in their blood driving their car to a grocery store because they cannot walk anymore and need more alcohol
4 promile ? for poles and russians its called weekend XD in poland people get something near 15 ! and still driving XD
Why is it that whenever somebody makes a compilation of such legendary clips with English subtitles, they ALWAYS have to mess up the translation? "not so deep, Rüdiger" "one shouldn't tell lies" "what was it about". you can't enjoy it unless you understand it
yep i hate that too, most people just shouldn't do subtitles or at least ask someone to proof read them to make sure they made no mistake. If you write a book you also have people proof read your work but apparently in the subtitle world everything goes and OP is king
@@D4RKBRU73unfortunately English lacks some of the words that German speaking people use to convey certain emotions or situations.
Englisch ist ne vereinfachte Form der deutschen Sprache. Ich denke, Deutsch ist noch immer die Sprache der Dichter und Denker.
Ja aber dann muss man doch nicht alles wörtlich übersetzen, wenn andere englische Wörter einfach besser passen. einfachstes Beispiel wäre einfach die ganze Zeit "not so low, Rüdiger" Meilen besser
@@jimidando English has all the words needed - you just have to use them in the right way. "Woran lag's?" just isn't "What was it about?" - "What went wrong?" makes a lot more sense in that situation. To me it looks like the translators just get the sentence without any context and then try to translate it.
The 3rd meme is from Switzerland. The last guy, Bruno the cameraman, is a f*cking legend in Switzerland 😂 it's been years but people will still randomly say "und ich bin Bruno und ich bin der Kameramann" when introducing themselves and I love that for us 😂😂😂

The video with Sven and Michel was produced at the university I work at. I did the same degree as the director. (Media production at the university of applied sciences Ostwestfalen-Lippe) If I remember correctly, the bachelor thesis researched how to do a viral media campaign. They then tried the research results - and produced a viral video.
Ach in Lemgo, Grüße aus SHG😄
I did a funny Video to get my Bachelor in Biology too it was me and I was dancing and sing and show of my body parts. I love germany :D
No bro its wrong
19:23 You have to speak German to understand this joke. The last guy was the only one who spoke with a foreign accent (sounded like an immigrant from Turkey or an Arabic country), and he is the only one who is not afraid of racism or discrimination, but something else.
He does not have an accent.
@@nadine8742he does
it's just like a jugendsprache accent or something like that but it's certainly not a foreign accent
@@mrsquid_ Maybe "foreign accent" is not the correct term, but many Turks, who were born in Germany or immigrated at an early age, speak like him. This accent was also adopted by many German rappers.
10:00 It's even worse.... that guy is complaining that a student told him that he (the student) can't afford to pay 30 Euro/month for a subscription (what with being a student without income). So that guy's "solution" is telling students they should drop out of university and instead use their money to buy his shit.
Ryan: "That's a dangerous question to ask especially someone you know older..." Me thinking: "Hold up, Ryan, wait for his response!", grinning with anticipation from ear to ear.
I had two ideas of things people might say. That was neither.
You can’t just skip over the pepps guy like that! That video is very important to our culture!
It hurt so much when he did that.....
Gar keine mehr?
Er ist ein bisschen ein Otto geworden
Schälchen für Pepps, Schälchen für Weed

@4:00 the kid on the left means that you can say the word "lying" but you musn't lie.
19:44 and 22:15 : These were the Ludolfs - 4 brothers in the scrapyard. A German reality TV show from 2006 with 8 seasons. It was a must for car freaks to watch this show back then because they had, for example, a chaotic pile order system. And only one of the brothers can deal with it! And they were funny in other ways too. It would probably be fun to make a reaction video about it @Ryan. Greetings from northern germany ♥️
that guy shouldnt allowed to cook noodles , he puts noodles in the water before boiling them - first you boil the water , then you put noodles in
as others already said: 2‰ is 2/1000 (2 per mille) as opposed to 2% which of course is 2/100 (2 per cent)
Ryan literally said that in the video. Then, as you mentioned, others wrote it in comments. But I'm glad you explained it again.
I never realized before, but yes, its just % with an extra 0
Thank you Ryan for reacting to my video! I’d love to make a part 2 if you and your viewers are interested. To my fellow germans, feel free to leave meme suggestions for a potential second part.
please please please add the meme with the police guy who says "Halt, bitte helfen Sie mir, ich bin in Gefahr" and "Was ist denn mit Carsten los?".
Maybe you can include the Käptn zur See from the Penny doku
@@somethinggreatishappening8536 Ryan already saw them in the first german meme compilation a few months ago^^ Otherwise I’d add them for sure
@@janexpected i see. Thanks for the reply :)
@@Dom_Jon That’s a good recommendation, thank you
4:46 The "Hausrecht" (domestic authority) is also a thing in Germany and generally allows companies and establishments a lot of freedoms. There is a huge misconception where people think the Hausrecht isn't enforceable because proprietors have to serve everyone as long as they don't disturb the service. While generally speaking, a proprietor may not discriminate for specific attributes - like race and gender and stuff - the burden of proof lies with the person who feels discriminated. Disregarding cases of discrimination, a proprietor can pick and choose their customers. With a major exception: when the business holds a monopoly position in the region or provides essential goods or services. In such cases, the proprietor's right to refuse service or entry may be limited. I remember reading about a spa a few years ago, where a pair of customers were "generally obnoxious" and got thrown out and sued against being thrown out. The court found that even without a reason, the proprietor would have been well within his rights. Which is something people generally argue with me about wouldn't have happend, even when I showed them the article.
the clip with the soccer guy "what was it about" the soccer player repeats it so often because the reporters often ask this stupid question to the losing team he attemps to mock them for it
The whole clip was staged, it was a sketch.
Really? I thought he's serious, because, you know, after running for 90 minutes, people tend to be not the most articulate.
@@hurtigheinz3790 it even says it in the video that i was a commercial
It's a commercial for the "Astra" beer brand.
The soccer clip. What was it about became a meme and an answer to stupid questions. "Ja, woran hat es gelegen?
% percent, so from hundred. ‰ promille, so from thousand. Your DUI is measured in %, ours is measured in ‰. Your...0.01 is our 0.1
The f can't we just pick one? "Per" or "pro"? Means the same and is used in the same context so wtf even!? It should either be promille/procent or percent/ permille.
Laughs in German. Prozent % , Promille ‰ What's c in Latin is in most cases a z in German. procedere (LA)->Prozedere, das (DE)...the procedure(EN) procent...Prozent...percent. promille...Promille....promille. principium...Prinzip...principle See the pattern? ;-) You're welcome. 🙂 Why are you telling me I am doing some mixups here, when it's clearly the English language's inabilities that are the culprit here?
@@Fox1986222 Same ballpark of inability is: The entire planet says million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard, and so forth. Not so the English. Million, billion, trillion...da fuck do you always have an extra sausage grilled on a separate grill???
@@Kivas_Fajo I did in fact talk about the language, not about you. I said it should be like I suggested, not that you got it wrong. You got it right, it just IS wrong and I pointed that out. :)
In Germany you can film the public but not individuals directly that's not allowed . Filming individuals is considered invading their privacy even if they are outside, different than in the States .
But there are exceptions, e.g. in the case of "people from contemporary history" (German: Personen der Zeitgeschichte ~ celebrities, politicians etc.) or - as in the case of the hat citizen - who particularly stands out in a demonstration and is therefore representative of the demonstration
@@schnelma605 We're not talking about prominent people just normal everyday citizens !
Another addition: The "hat citizen" also approached the (highly visible) camera. The "hat citizen" has thus decided that he will be filmed in close-up. You can't prevent filming (by reporters at a demonstration) by going in front of the camera. This is a misinterpretation of the law. Filming a demonstration (without zooming in on individuals for no special reason) is permitted in Germany.
22:00 i think the backstory of this is a video from the swiss ski team mocking the austrian ski team, the guy who flips the ski is Didier Cuche, a famous swiss skier, ski flips were his signature moves
In the end it was a advertisment of an insurance company "die Mobiliar" the clip was uploaded as an usual video and a few weeks later it was published thats an adv.
Thanks for your explanation, I didn't know that. There are comments here saying it was a genuine accident though and the reaction of the bus driver and the lack of explanation seem to suggest it.
There is an interview with the cutter of the "ultimate trick" video. He explains it's three clips on top of each other: One with the boys pulling the tablecloth and falling down, one still with the porcelain on the table intact and one with the shelf falling.
Im I the only one not hung up about the 2 promille wife, but the fact that the 5 promille guy was not only alive, not even able to walk and find his car, but actually drive it a certain distance? If I tried to drink up to 5 I would be dead before I could reach that. How high must his normal "Pegel" be to be able to drive?
He must be drinking regularly to tolerate so much alcohol. When I was in nursing school a teacher told us about a doctor he worked with who was an alcoholic and performed surgeries while drunk. Without alcohol his hand shiffered too much. The surgeries went well btw…
My silly Canadian brain needed to translate all this to 0.55 and 0.2 before the WTF factor hit. Wow. Just wow.
1:20 vs 3:46: 1:20 during an event of public interest on public property, not aiming at any person in particular. This is legal (the exceptional permission nessesary for any demonstration includes the phrase: "Every participant agrees to audio and video recording and publication for public interest") 3:46 on private property (that on its own does not change anything) pointede directly at that receptionist in fact to humiliate him. This (especially when asked to stop recording) is illegal (three violations in fact: 1. Insult: making fun of that guy in public 2. continue recording / not deleteing video after being asked to stop recording 3. publishing video without consent)
Don’t apologise, you analysing the video was the best bit. I found it interesting 😊
One of your best videos in the last months. Great entertainment, you took your time. And as already mentioned: DONT YOU EVER SKIP THE PEPPS GUY
The difference between "Nein" and "nee" is like "No" and "nay"...both mean the same. Although the "nay" has a more formal background than "nee" :D
You can also say "nöö", "och nöö" for "ach nein". It's colloquial.
Nope. The word you're looking for is 'nope'.
@@K__a__M__II'd say in its tone "nee" is closer to "nah" than it is to "nope". "Nope" feels to laid-back, especially for this context.
So can we agree on "nee" = "nah" and "nöö" = "nope"?
@@MrHerrSnäh 😜
Most clips I didn't know and neither get how they'd be funny, but the shelf crushing the boy was hilarious. The ski in the bus not so much, because side windows are always safety glass.
Memes with the actual context, nice video👍
Right, the explanations were good, important, otherwise only stupid.
and yet most aren't really funny in translation. And if you have to give so much explanation, one should maybe rather consider leaving it to was it is: a German meme 😅
17:05 This bridge is the Mülheimer Brücke in Cologne. At the beginning of the video, you can see the AXA Hochhaus in the distance (left side) and at the very end is Sankt Clemens church to the right.
1:30 well, there are different rules depending on the purpose of the recordings. In general, you're allowed to make pictures in public if you're on a public road. If you want to publish them you need to anonymize faces and other details, like car license plates - which is kind of a new rule, and did not apply at this time. However, he's part of a demonstration, and demonstrations are viewed differently anyway, as they are part of a "contemporary historical event" (=Zeitgeschichtliches Ereignis), so there's no need to anonymize anything if you publish pictures or videos, but especially not if we're talking about journalism.
As for GTA: Many parents don't care if their young children play things like GTA 5 - which is legally questionable at best (legally in conflict 2 fundamental rights: parental privilege versus the best interests of the child). But if your child then brings friends along, parents can get into a lot of trouble, parents can be liable to prosecution if they facilitate other children access to such games due to a lack of parental supervision...
I dont believe in age limits for games and movies ngl. I played gta2 and tekken 3 at the age of 7, I watched horror movies as a child and so did many others. I dont think kids get influenced by playing a few hours of a "bad" game, most kids that become shity humans get neglected or abused by their parents or are badly influenced by friends.
@@Bennime_Once It doesn't matter what you think or believe, it's just a matter of what legal action can be taken against those parents.
21:52 : Ryan had learned his german vocabulary : Scheißdreck 😂
backstory of the bus and the ski video: The one flinging the ski is really flinging it backwards, after someone told him. He was just releasing his skis whille throwing them upwards to catch them. He did it once, then the guy filming him said "it was cool, do it again" and he put it back on, and then this accident happened. There is a video online showing the full scene 22:17
23:56 You do have a word, or rather phrase, for ‰. It's "per mille".
or per mile
'per mille' from the latin word for 1000. The same reason why it's called 'per cent' due to the latin word for 100. You can still see these latin roots in the words century and millenia for example. 5 per cent means nothing else than 5 per hundred. And 5 per mille means 5 per thousand. It's just that most people today don't know the meaning of those words anymore.
Cent comes from the Latin hundred. The word percent (German Prozent) means something like “out of a hundred”. The symbol is %. Mille is the Latin word for thousand. The German word Promille is two words in English "pro mille". The symbol is ‰.
I like how detailed you analyse the video the two boys. It's really impressive how well it is done. I just found a VICE article about it and the guys behind it. Short summary: It's a composition of three different takes: The boys pulling the table cloth (without anything on it, since it didn't work during the first tries) and falling/running away, the stuff on the table that stays on it the whole time (since nobody pulled the cloth^^) & the falling cupboard which also was a lot of work and in the end they had to kick it through an open window behind it to make it fall. And obviously that had to succeed since they only had one take for that part. They filmed it in an abandoned house that was about to be demolished and they found the old cupboard for free on ebay and even filled the fish tank in it with water.
Alot of these Videos mostly work because they talk a "fun" way of german, kinda slang....or even a dialect.
absolutely agree. They are not funny translating. Was already the same thing with part one.
So Ryan should not watch them, even if he wants to? I think he is aware of the problems translations can bring.
They did it for their degree, no one said that they were successful with this xD
Why would you think they were not?
I really enjoyed watching you go over that video again at the end and analysing it!
"Nee", "nö" are like "nope"
I'm impressed they found a CRT TV to put into the wall unit
Man I love your channel you are real and honest these two things are missing from most KZheadrs these days
Nearby there was something similar, someone got stopped by the police with high level of alcohol. As the person call a relative to pick him up at the police station they checked the level of the other person and also had too much alcohol. Both drivers licenses got taken away. Its so funny when that happens, it also shows, that we have a massiv alcohol problem not a drug problem!
"Too soon" is on point.
14:34, they did two different videos and cut them together thats why the pen moved. But no green screen, just him falling in one video and one where the other things are falling down.
To the part with the filming in Germany: You are allowed to film anything at first sight, but if someone recommands you to delete that video, because you filmed that person, you have to. It's their right of privacy, that we call "Datenschutz"(protected data of that person)
21:17 As far as I know they produced multiple videos of slinging skis. Most of the time, the ski went straight up ant he caught it. This time however, he slinged it through the bus window. To my knowledge, this was a genuine accident... A fun one to watch 😂 If someone has the full backstory, please correct me if I'm wrong
percent vs permille : its 1/10th of a percent... and usually above 4% can be deadly. getting above 5 / 1000 and still be able to put the key into the car he must be very used to alcohol.
The ,,too soon guys" killed me 😂
The hatman was later fired, in a demonstration you can be filmed right in the face, he call the police to arrest the film crew. And the local police with a right blinded eye get the ID and hold the filmcrew for a while. In the weeks after, whole germany lough about this strange karen guy
1:28 I love how the poster in the background says “tastes like relaxation.”
omg that noodle clib was from an terrible reality show about 3 weird brothers which had a yunkyard
Die Brüder Peter, Manfred, Uwe und Horst Günther. RIP Günther Jetzt sind es tatsächlich nur noch 3
After a football game he was asked why his team had performed so poorly. He was extremely drunk and couldn't find an answer himself 😂
23:40 it´s the symbol for "Promille" 1 promille (1‰) is equivalent to 0.1% blood alcohol concentration (BAC). In other words, 1 promille is equal to 0.1 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. the 5.5‰ is equal to 0.55% BAC and internet says 0.35% is life threatening. Funfacts in the US the legal driving limit seems to be around 0.08% in germany it´s 0.05%.
That % sign with the extra 0 at the end means per mil it means that per kg of blood (it is expected that 1kg of blood is 1 liter) contains 1 gram of alcohol so with 5.5 per mil that would mean he had 5.5 grams of alcohol or 5.5ml (milliliter (Mil·li·li·ter)) per each kg (liter) of blood. So as a grown man with 5 liters of blood that would be 27.5 grams of alcohol in his body. Life is in danger at about 3 per mil because you are in danger of blood poisioning by the alcohol which can lead to death. So 5.5 per mil is really A LOT! Which makes it even funnier. I laughed so hard I felt my brain pulsating against my skull and I could hardly breathe cuz I was choking on my laughter. Prime example of german humor. 😂
It is usually not allowed to film a stranger just like that. There is the right to one's own image and the general right to personality and that would be disturbed by this. But I'm allowed to film a busy scene on a street, for example, if I don't highlight individual people. In this case it was also a demonstration, or rather the move from one demonstration to another. The camera team was a team from ZDF, public television, and they wanted to report on these demonstrations. And the "hat citizen" was actually just part of the background, but because he put himself in the picture and didn't show any signs of not being filtered, the television team actually didn't do anything wrong. Even more. The moment he verbally attacks a television crew like that, he could have become a person of contemporary interest and then television has every right to film this person and publish it. So if he really didn't want to be filmed, he made it worse with his behavior and became known as a laughing stock across the country.
In Germany directly recording specific people without allowance actually is forbidden by law. In audio and video. And that's a good thing. It is allowed, though, to general recording, inlucding people, when they are far enough away, or not sharp enough to distinguish, or it's a 'anonymous' grouü of people (oppposed to individuums), which of course can make it hard to assess.
Cant expect someone using imperial units to understand what the difference between percent and promille is. Little hint if you want to learn metric..its always in the name. Milli, centi, deci, super, mega, ultra, mo-mo-monster kilo
The expectation of privacy is much broader in Germany. Broadcast material needs the consent of everybody filmed. Private stuff needs the consent, too, unless other people are only filmed incidentally when filming your family for example. As soon as you film people directly you need their consent, AFAIK. You only loose the expectation of privacy if you're a person of public interest or take part in especially news worthy activities like protests. But even with protests there are cases were consent is needed, again for direct and not incidental filming. A sweeping shot of a march is ok as is background, an interview or especially lingering shot without consent isn't. All of that is very AFAIK, not a lawyer and the little I know was accumulated incidentally over the last 3 decades.
8:53 Obviously the football team lost the game, and the reporter asked the player why.
22:27 The Movie you think of is called "Wrong Turn". The man was quite a legend. He had a junkyard with no inventory management, but could always tell if he had a part in stock without checking.
the word for .1 of 1% in German is "promille", so out of a thousand. Translators tell me "permil" is the British translation and "per mill" is the American one.
In Germany, alcohol is measured in blood in per million... The anesthesia stage is reached at around two per mille. Disturbances of memory and orientation occur. If the blood alcohol content exceeds three per mille, severe, acute alcohol poisoning begins, which in the worst case can lead to death due to respiratory failure.
The „Yippieh!“ at 16:25 sounds so much like the loot bug from The Company lol
I remember that for a doctor's appointment, I went to another part of the city, one which I am not in very often as that tends to be the place where the odd things happen (like, each time I am there, something does occur). I, as a minor even back then, was asked by a guy for a picture - I didn't understand him so I asked him to repeat himself, and due to traffic, he had to do so several times. When I still didn't hear him, he just held up his phone and tried taking a picture together, which was apparently what he wanted from me. So I immediately waved of, told him I didn't want to be in a picture he could technically do with whatever he wanted as I had no idea who he was and what he might do with it, and that since I was a minor (I must have been around 13 then) and he did not have a guardian's consent (until you can consent yourself, a guardian has to do it for you so that the people taking a picture of you or filming you cannot be faulted for taking those pictures and possibly publishing them, which a guardian could sue them for, in the case of only the minor's consent as they have the final say and therefore the right to take back the agreement of a minor (at least this is very important for pictures taken at school and more official events, they provide a form for the guardian to sign before that and have to blur you out if you end up in a picture without consent)). I was speaking rather fast and I don't think he understood much of what I was saying, he appeared to be a foreigner (I only assume as he started mumbling in a (to me) foreign language when walking away). My question now would be, is it actually the norm to just go up to strangers and ask for a picture? Like, is that something people do? Because, well, it kinda makes me wonder if my reaction was appropriate in the first place - I certainly wouldn't want to be talked to in such a manner for doing something in a foreign city that is normal in my native country.
23:19 : I will only say - metric system: The sign with two zeros on the right side is promille ‰. Wikipedia says: A per mille (composed of Latin pro 'in relation to' and Latin mille 'thousand' ) or thousandth stands for the fractional number 0.001. Permille information is usually indicated by the permille sign ‰ . A per mille is 1/10 of one percent . You're welcome. Greetings from northern germany ❤
23:30 - ‰ is the symbol for per mille - % is the symbol for percent.
„Jägermeister", said Dumbledore calmly 😂
The two kids with the table cloth trick. You notice the one who gets elbowed lays down at the bottom of the bookshelf perpendicular to the bookshelf so that 'that portion' of the bookshelf just rolls over him instead of the top portion crushing his head in. Which is what would have happened if he tried to run away and didn't make it in time.
Those movies, that the Video says are part of a degree are exactly that. A PART of a degree.
At minute 22:45 the news anchor says that the male driver had a blood alcohol content of 5.5% (in German this value is called "Promille" = "per mille" = "X/1 000") and his wife had 2% and not 0.2% as you thought. In Germany, from the age of 21 or after holding a driver's license for 2 years, you are allowed to have a maximum of 0.5% alcohol "Promille" while driving, so both values are far too high and normal people would no longer be able to stand or walk at 5.5% or be at conscious!
That gas clip is still the most funny to me, there's no way they didn't know what they were doing when they were recording it with that kind of pronounciation xD
Hello from Germany, I don't watch your Videos that often tbh but I love them. I think for some Clips you DEFFINETLY NEED to be German to really understand the fun part of it.. Idk If it's correct English cuz I'm still learning it in school so don't mind me If it's wrong.. Appreciate ur reactions on German Videos bro!! Germany loves you
OK, here's the explanation for the guy with the skis: he threw the skis and caught them with his hand, some people thought it was so cool and asked if he could do it again. Conclusion: he can't do it again.😅
21:46 is not fake. The people in front ask if he can do it again. He did it for the child and he smashed the window. You definitely need to watch the whole video.
As for the clip with the bookshelf, I would imagine they first filmed a scene without bookshelf, knocking the boy against some minor object, and then a scene with only the bookshelf, and then cut them into each other (the moving pen being part of the shelf scene). I am not that deep into film making tho....
yes, it's not allowed to film a stranger. It's allowed with passers by, but not to take portraits if not permitted.
% = per cent = 1/100 ‰ = per mille = 1/1000 So 10‰ is 1% and it's generally used to declare the blood level of alcohol.
"Ne" is honoured when you say something quickly or talk to friends and "Nein" is the normal word for "no"
8:27 - and this "too soon" will never expire!
"Never again" is now.
In general the release of films and pictures of demonstrations is allowed as long as they don't concentrate on specific persons. Supposed a participant goes to the press people and asks for not filming him or releasing films and pictures it's not allowed to make or release pictures or films of him going to the press people.
19:05 in germany it's pretty common for homeless people to hop on trains and ask the passengers for money. You don't have to pay to get on a train but you shoudn't get caught without a ticket or you have to pay a fine. But in some trains there are hardly any controls at all and the people who hop on for begging usually get out at the next station so they never get caught
9:28 every German showing the same reaction to that clip like you did 😂😂😂 bro got lost in his own words :)
This was a nice nostalgic trip thru the German meme section
Regarding German study fees: Even though universitiy is free, there is a small fee, usually around 300€ every 6 month you have to pay. If your not supported by your parents, you have to somehow afford it yourself and there are no loans for students.... NONE, not even credit cards or credit on your bank account. I had to drop out of University because I was not able to afford this 300€ tuition fee. (This was 20y ago, may have changed)
Even 20 years ago there were several forms of scholarships and student loans available in Germany (Bafög, Studienkredit, Bildungsfonds, Stipendien). A few hundred Euros overdraft ("Dispo") is also available to most people (unless you're already in debt).
even at that time, there were official options like Bafög… even if your parents had money you could apply for Bafög and they would get the money from your parents via lawsuit…
That scene with the woman on the bicycle on that bridge happened on the mülheimer bridge, mülheim is part of the city cologne and i grew up there.
21:12 @ryanwass For context, youve gotta watch the whole clip of the ski-flipping; its called „Cuche macht Bus kaputt! :-)“ In the Compilation the funniest part was left out
The „frontal guy“ is a long time meme over here, for the reasons, you read out loud. He was so „angry“, he forgot what the law was, he represented for most of his life. And yes, the hat is a crime as well, which is part of the meme. What he thinks, he’s referring to is: In Germany we have something called „right to your own picture“. That means, if somebody publishes pictures of you, you own part of the rights to it (not the copyright, but the personality right, so rights to how that picture is being used, but usually not financial or creative or copy rights to the picture, unless negotiated otherwise). That means, you can decide on how a picture of you is published or even if it should be. In Germany, nobody is allowed to publish a photo of you, unless you consented. In day to day life, it works a but different now, because US law is slowly overcoming ours, due to social media. And because times are just changing. Law enforcement doesn’t have the time anymore, to follow up on all those personality rights breaches. That’s not the case, if you are part of a public protest, a public figure or if you show, you are aware, you’re being filmed for publishing reasons, like giving an interview to new casters. In that case, you obviously consent to the publishing of your image. In that case, you kind of consent, by your public status anyways. But yes, we do have cases brought to court, that need to decide on how public of a figure is and on how private the photos are. F.e swimsuit photos of Angela Merkel would never be allowed to be published, since it was never part of her job to wear one, if she didn’t consent. A photo of Heidi Klum in a swim suite however would be much more difficult to decide on. He is a meme for exactly that (and the hat) and for working in law enforcement, while not understanding the law and basically just for being stupid and being a very proud German, while not even understand basic laws.
The boy in the purple shook the table with his hand when he ran away causing the pens to roll off the table.
19:10 You can get on most trains without having a ticket. You'll be fined if you get caught, but depending on the type of train, you might likely not be caught. (It's also possible under some circumstances to use "pre-used" tickets that are still good for bit. Before most people used digital tickets, it was pretty common for homeless people to be gifted Berlin public transport tickets that still had some time left on them, because a normal ticket is good for 90 minutes and most trips are faster than that.)
not only a german thing to do, in Austria we're also pretty precise and straight forward. No need for fumbling around an obvious mistake. Funny enough the lady crashed in the fence, maybe she'll remember xD
short explanation to the train system in germany: You dont pay to get into the train station and enter the train. You buy your ticket, online or at the ticket seller at the station or the ticketmachine at the stage of the thrain or directly inside the tain. Your ticket thenn gets checked by a person inside the Train, employed by the Train company. So you can drive without a ticket like the women inside, but if you get caught you'll pay either the ticket by the controlleur or 60€ for driving without a ticket and you'll have to leave the train at the next station, where the police often waits for you if you are not cooperative. We call it Schwarzfahren (black driving, has nothing to do with color) The women in the video clearly drives without ticket and will leave at the next station and enter a different train to ask for money
8:19 as a german i think he was going to og
The Clip with the ski is real, before that crazy flip that went wrong he did a a Flip with his ski and caught the ski with his Hand, than there was a mother with her kid and she thought „wow that was cool“ and ask if the guy can do it one more time for her kid to Watch him Doing it, but than it went into the Bus 😂
10:25 i dropped out here in the Netherlands... im a trucker now. i was doing something in highschool which eventually give me a high paying job but not a job i liked to do, so i dropped out and tried to do a lower paygrade study but that also wasnt something for me and then i started working at a transport company and thats how i ended up as a trucker(all licenses and driving lessons fully paid by the company i work for)
At minute 29. You realy have to visit Rudolstadt, but not for the drunkeb drives: castle Heidecksburg has different but very interesting museums, Schiller lift here for one year but met Goethe for the first time here. His dwelling place during this time is well preserved and a museum. And here is the on of the oldest open-air-museums in Germany: "die Rudolstädter Bauernhäuser = The farmers' houses in Rudolstadt". And the Landscape is quite nice.
The word "Hutbürger" and "Wutbürger". Hut (English: hat) is pronounced like _[hoot]_ with a long vowel. Same goes for Wut (anger) pronounced _[voot],_ they rhyme.
"Jungfrau! Nicht so schnell!! Ihr mentos" that was adorable. ps: the german mcdonads drive through video made me laugh out loud. That was actually funny. pps: Nee is more like a nah. Nein is a proper NO. (I'm not German but that's what I'm guessing. I'm Dutch which is similar)
