No German resentment, just German humour.

Before the next guy jumps on the bandwagon and writes something about the Germans being a sourpuss and bad loosers over Dieselgate,

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

let me educate you where this video comes from. ZDF Neo Magazin is a purely satirical tv show that focuses on politics and topical events. They don’t give a rhodent’s behind about anything or anyone. A little google-fu might have prevented TTAC and others from looking like idiots in the long run, but hey, fact-checking seems to be totally overrated these days, and clickbait will always be clickbait.

Here’s some more of ZDF Neo Magazin’s work, just to show you what you have to compare this with:

Let’s be fair.

Nothing can prevent TTAC from looking like idiots.

Both of those were really good. ZDF is usually pretty funny anyway.

Looking at the comments there practically no one caught the (very obvious) parody either. There was one comment explaining it was a parody. It was ignored by the other commenters.

How dumb are the people commenting at TTAC? Or is this one of these nationalist/thinly veiled racist things you frequently see? “Someone from [not-America] criticises the US in a very modest way, so let’s shit on [not-America] with every cliché we’ve got at our disposal, ignoring all facts.” Luckily this behavior is mostly absent here on Oppo.

Seriously, how can anyone watch that video and not realize it is satire?

And it is featured on the main page . Still hardly anyone gets it. Has the humor gene been bred out on the other side of the big pond?

Not much for them to laugh about these days, I guess.
