American reacts to GERMAN MEMES ABOUT AMERICANS

What you call a sliced loaf of bread doesn’t even qualify as bread in Germany and it only appears in form of a sandwich or a toast over here. No one actually eats it the way you would eat bread here.

Kika (Kinderkanal) is a German tv channel for kids. Kindheitshelden = childhood heroes. Santa with sand refers to the Sandmännchen, the toast refers to Bernd das Brot, the mouse to Sendung mit der Maus, and the dandelion to Löwenzahn (all shows that run/ran on Kika)

I live in Germany and the fact you can literally throw a sledgehammer on the wall and it doesn’t break says that Germany cares about their people 🇩🇪

As a German I genuinely love these reactions of Americans to German stuff it's funny to me and very entertaining! Thanks for this it's amazing keep it up! Love from Germany ❤️

You know what you need? A good German friend sitting next and explaining to you. The next German is statistically nearer than the next dollar bill.

For your explanation. A 'shower lamp' has the german word 'Duschlampe' which with different permutation/pronounciation becomes an insult by saying 'Du schlampe' -> 'You whore' So much for the Shower meme :) No german will go tell that to their mothers. flies away

as a German person I feel an obligation to explain the memes.. 3:30 we have the sandman, Bernd the bread (yes, we're THAT German), the mouse from Sendung mit der Maus and Löwenzahn (dandylion) on the kid's TV program "Kika" (kinderkanal, children's channel) 4:43 lamp shower translates to Duschlampe which would sound like "du Schlampe" which translates to "you bitch" 7:20 ich_iel means irl (ich I'm echten Leben) this subreddit has a habit of translating meme formats literally for additional humor 9:08 I think Hausis is supposed to mean Hausmeister as in janitor (meaning the mods) 9:39 in Germany you can drink light alcohol with 16. I hate it, I don't drink alcohol, but that's the way it is. The picture is either apple juice, fake, or irresponsible it's not illegal to drink outside of your house but if people noticed young children drinking they would definitely talk to the parents 10:43 ok that has to be fake. nobody can be that stupid to put China and Australia in Europe and to think that Russia is that small and Poland is that big 12:23 it would also be bad for the climate 13:05 we don't make sandwiches, we schmier das Brot in Germany it would be a sin to call American sandwiches bread. they are sandwich slices, nothing more. I don't like every bread here in Germany but some are quite tasty, whereas sandwich slices taste of little

"Löwenzahn" was the best and most interesting series as a kid. Awesome.

We can't call American sandwitch "bread", our bread is something sacred to us Germans😂

walls here are made out of brickstone or concrete

7:07 If he was in Hamburg, we would have called himself a Hamburger.

(second meme) As a german i too needed a while to figure it out. The pictures are intentionally weirdly chosen. It's all shows from the childrens channel. Top left is the sandman, a very old show that many kids watch before bedtime. Top right, the channel is not active at night, but there are a few episodes of "Bernd das Brot" (Bernd the bread) looping during the night. Bottom left is the Sendung mit der Maus (show with the mice). An educational childrens programm runing since before the berlin wall fell and still geting a new episode every sunday. Bottom right is Löwenzahn, a mix of educational and detective show. Everyone in Germany knows these shows since they run longer then many can think. These shows are running on publicly funded channels, therefore only care about entertaining and educating children and running completely ad free.

“I know German houses are made from brick, but what are your walls made of?” 🤔

Suggestion: Stream your reactions live on twitch. German people could explain the memes live and you would not have to wait for comments on youtube.

For those who don’t understand the 2nd meme, KiKa is a tv channel, the Santa image represents a show called „sand Männchen“ The bread image is firstly a bread out of a german store called Rewe, and it represents a show called „Bernd das Brot“ . It always comes at Sendeschluss (meaning at night one episode will keep repeating) The 3rd image is easy, it’s a knowledge show called die Maus. Die Maus often has some little adventures between the episodes including her friend der Elefant. The 4th image is a Löwenzahn, in Germany it’s a show about a dog with white black fur that goes on adventures, I can’t tell everything since I didn’t see it in a long time. (Written by a German)

German houses don't typically have dry wall, not in the sense your thinking of at the very least. Depending on where exactly the wall is, it is most likely you will be hitting against either full on steel reinforced concrete in critical load bearing spots or in the majority of places aerated concrete blocks. Doesn't really make a difference when concerning your hand. They are covered in wallpaper without a big air gap to punch into, so yes it is literally like punching into concrete, even if it doesn't look like naked concrete. On the outside you then additionally typically have stone wool or something insulating like that, and a protective and decorative brick wall infront of that again. And no you shouldn't punch those bricks either. Again typically red brick or something similar in strength, so you are not going to do anything to that wall.

😂 It's not the fact that it's sliced that makes it American Sandwich-"bread" , it is the fact that it's white, full of sugar, doesn't really have a crust etc... that gives it its name. You probably know alreasy that Germans are very proud about their bread😅. This is not usually considered to be bread but called "Toast".

Ryan, please google german bread types. I wanna see you reacting to our bread. Then you might understand why we don't call your "bread" bread but sandwich toast.

For the drinking part, I have a German joke: If you drink in the city 5 beers, you are an alcoholic, if you drink 5 beer on the countryside (like farmers land), you are the driver!

From the age of 14, you can drink alcohol up to 15% at home and with permission of your Parents. From the age of 16 you can also drink outside etc.
