At a certain point I think that homemade videos are going to become more and more refined and polished and professional looking, and only viral videos made by some marketing executive in Air Jordans ordered off of a Japanese list-serve will continue to have shaky handheld camera work, because this is getting silly. Every time I watch a YouTube with shitty camera work and someone saying “do you think it will work?”, it just becomes a guessing game of what I’m going to be secretly asked to buy. Admittedly, the only thing I can think of that this might be advertising is a Berlitz English course so that you can identify what is wrong with sentences like “we’ll hit on your building next,” but it’s not like I know that much about contemporary German culture (I’m pretty solid on the older stuff). They seem kind of weird and culturally schizophrenic, which is what happens to a country populated by people struggling under the weight of their grandparents’ having tried to take over the world (as soon as we finish this genocide, ugh, it’s taking 4ever!) So who knows. This is probably an ad for toothpaste. Made out of Jews.

I’m all for offensive remarks if they’re funny, but these aren’t. I’ve been dealing with this type of lame German-bashing since the first time I went abroad as a kid (and it was coming from other kids). Adults tend to make their anti-semitism jokes a little more clever, at least.
You had me at the joke about Berlitz, though, so I guess you’re forgiven.
I’m hoping its just a little early in the morning for Gabe, because it definitely came across as unnecessarily culture-phobic.
i’m dieter, and i’m a pc.
This video is legit if you believe that this is the one skyscraper in the world where every office has blindingly bright halogen fixtures that turn on and off instantly.
The funniest part of this post is the part where an American calls Germany “culturally schizophrenic.”
And you know there’s such a thing as a German Jew, right?
Despite Germany’s’ best effort. HEY-OH! (I’m a German Jew.)
it looks like holocaustgum.com is still available….
This.

Yeah, as usual, the “cutting edge” viral marketers are months/years behind shit.
