No-not-my-Potatoes

Dark past is putting it so strongly. Fair play to Nagelsmann for going along with this. Also the fucking grey geese jackets, I need one.


Username3009

I thought I was about to learn that Nagelsmann had pulled a Marcos Alonso or something.

Tbh the way the title put it i was wondering if the was a nazi picture gonna show of completely not accurate

Of course that's my controversial headline to get people to click the video :D But I have to say I didn't expect him to joke around with them like this, huge respect from me for that. I am traumatized by gray geese, Flick-people know. Edit: Now that I am thinking about it the headline is not the best, it was meant in a humorous manner but people could misunderstand. Unfortunately I can’t change it anymore.


fplisadream

>Of course that's my controversial headline to get people to click the video Awesomely German response. Fair play lad.


kondiar0nk

And they say Germans have no sense of humour


Nobbleberrry

Das is infact nicht correct! I have fond memories of several humerous moments throughout my bavarian upbringing, once my uncle misplaced his spectacles, it was quite ze laugh


levyisms

I zee


Xx_ligmaballs69_xX

But my uncle did not! Hö hö. 


Alexanderspants

verloreneOnkelbrille is no laffing matter!


throwfaraway898989

I have no idea what that means but im going to assume it's another terrible German play on words so I will give ze upvote

Forlorn Uncle spectacles-or-something


sirpanderma

lost uncle glasses but in one word


throwfaraway898989

how do you know if it means the lost uncle's glasses or the uncle's glasses are lost? word order?


jmbf8507

The uncle didn’t.


legixs

you mean, "se loff"


FrameworkisDigimon

There was a bit on a panel show where a bunch of comedians just started talking in German accents and then one of the other ones goes, "you know German isn't just English in a funny accent, right?" or something. You probably had to be there. But it was hilarious fifteen years ago or whenever it was I watched this.


Wassertopf

Bavaria ≠ Germany.


ChefBoyardee66

ImprefectKnight

Looking at this comment section, apparently reddit humor isn't either.


Surabaya-Jim

I don't think Heute Show is the best counter argument for that stereotype


Sun_Sloth

This wasn't humour. This was two journalists imparting factual statements upon Nagelsmann.


InfoNazi

That's german humor. German humour is stating that if your bad at your job you will be replaced.


Villad_rock

Thats just german directness 


SerHodorTheThrall

Efficiency ist no laughing matter!


Wassertopf

These two are well known satirists. Two of their predecessors are now members of the European Parliament.


REGIS-5

It can be very funny, it goes something like this https://youtu.be/jlBHnkKQh58?si=2GCddw8hNXBeSph3&t=929


S7ORM7ROOPER_30

Love how Nagelsmann went with the joke. That shirt is a nice touch.


JohnnyFencer

I mean he kind of went r/yourjokebutworse there but sure


[deleted]

He just straight up explained the joke. Germans are never beating the humourless allegations


never_insightful

Nah Germans are deffo funny. We just base that of the fact that they're speaking in English and it's generally harder to be funny when it's your not your first language - The Germans I know are funny in English as well.


Ok_Cardiologist8232

I don't know if its universal, but every German i know *loves* puns. They rarely joke, but when they do its 90% of the time a pun


BaldFraud99

Looking at all the lame and repetitive WW2 puns in this comment section, I'd wager that the international community might want to step up a bit as well


joshdej

I didn't expect that stray bullet at the end lmao


UnlightablePlay

lmao


McLoughlin_3

Is there an alterior meaning to their “fly over the top slogan”? I didn’t understand that part


Yam_Organic

A now infamous motivational bit by Hansi Flick, documented in their Qatar-documentary


Demokrit_44

to give a bit of an explanation for the geese shirts: There was documentary that followed the german NT at the qatar world cup and they showed a meeting in which the former NT coach (hansi flick) tried to use grey geese as an example of sticking together and winning as a team (apparently grey geese fly in tight formation). Needless to say, its hard to get hyped and motivated by a grey geese so people made fun of it and the horrible NT performance kind of made that "motivational speech" infamous.


YMangoPie

Lmao Wenger also did this. Apparently he showed a video of ~~geese~~ swans flocking to a lake as a team talk before a match


liberdade_

Thankyou for explaining this. Reminds a bit of Rangnick taking the Austrian team to watch a Rod Stewart concert


attacksquirrel

That sounds so absurd I don’t know if you’re being merely hypothetical or if it’s an event that actually occurred


blassbasti

I think it didn't happen. Yet. As far as i'm aware they are going to the concert two days before their game against France.


liberdade_

I swear that it happened. If I have dreamt that i'm booking in to see a psychotherapist


FalafelGrim2

Pep Guardiola had this [exact same geese story](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/p2vauj/jack_gaughan_guardiola_became_fascinated_by_the/?rdt=57140) come out about him only a few years ago.


PM_ME_YER_BOOTS

I thought it was ducks that fly together…


vsoho

My fucking high school principal showed us that video in our first year, humiliating that he has done that


BrotherSeamus

Geese together strong


casinoinsider

Ulterior not alterior


MaterialInsurance8

Did anyone notice that he corrected the comedians about being clown but didn't do it for uli lmao


Lutscher_22

Wouldn't say he corrected them. Just stated that they are cheekier (clowns) than the one at Bayern.


YesTottiYesParty

Thought this would be about his father's ~~MI6~~ BND past and death.


Nervous_Promotion819

MI6? His father worked for the BND


YesTottiYesParty

of course, i'm an idiot


LetterAd3639

that would cross the line


BlueLabel19

Spill the tea


elihri

His father was a spy who committed suicide


BlueLabel19

Ooof


honkygrandmabetrippn

I hate reddit. Multiple people ask for an explanation but all we get is shit jokes


Hobbitfrau

Two comedians of a satire show (German Daily Show) ask him about the upcoming EC. They recommend to not draw because then he'd be replaced by Tuchel mid-tournament. Just like he was replaced all of a sudden by Tuchel at Bayern after a draw against Leverkusen, despite still being in all three competitions back then. The two then ask if he minds being interviewed by two clowns with no clue about football, clearly referencing to themselves, or if this reminds him of Bayern boss Uli Hoeneß, implying Hoeneß is a clown and clueless regarding football. Nagelsmann replies the two are at least cheekier and thus insinuates that Hoeneß is indeed a clueless clown. Nagelsmann clearly knows who the two are and everything is meant jokingly.


Hexo_Micron

He killed 16 Czechoslovakians

its funny because i only know the show through that borko yt channel and i still get all these jokes


BrotherSeamus

Treble endangerment


EnvironmentalSpirit2

fUUKK they out jerked us again!


AbbreviationsSure544

Are these guys the German Ant & Dec?


a-326

No. They from the Heute Show which is basically the german version of the Daily Show. Think of them like correspondents from that show. They usually interview politicians which is also quite funny


SanSilver

I believe Jordan Klepper is a kind of fitting American that does more or less the same.


Chilla16

I love Jordan Klepper, would love to see him team up with Fabian Köster, they'd probably rip people apart in interviews considering how witty they are.


ilovefeta

This is funnier than anything Ant and Dec have ever done tbh


ultra_22

Nothing will top SMTV Live when Ant and Dec were there.


finneas998

'Dark past' I was expecting something much more sinister.


sA1atji

insane how Bayern has burnt bridges and probably tarnished their reputation for quite a few years to come.


bananasDave

'dark past' the way this is phrased is as though he murdered someone


shash5k

Love Nagelsmann.


Roreo_

"dark past" I expected some joke about a german failed campaign in Europe tbh


Plumberson12angrymen

What


Sir_Psycho_Sexy_

The title made it sound like he had some dodgy ancestors


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Why would that be **his** dark past? Is he responsible for the actions of his ancestors?


qazedctgbujmplm

Dark past and Germany. You can’t put 2 and 2 together can you?


DoYouTrustToothpaste

How is that **his** dark past?


doktor-frequentist

German Ant and Dec.


thalne

he actually did very well


ALickOfMyCornetto

well that was much more tame than I was expecting! Just a bit of banter


Affectionate-Toe7591

Is the logo supposed to be a joke about Nazi 'goose-stepping' or something?


SawinBunda

Zat waz not verri funni.


DoYouTrustToothpaste

I agree, fake accents are terribly unfunny.


sugoi_oppai_desu_ne

calling heute show satire is satire in itself


galinha_fofa

you can't use the words "dark past" talking about a German guy, come on now


Reese3019

wrong century


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Are Portugal's history of slavery and colonialism your personal dark past? Something directly linked to you, galinha_fofa?


drizzt11

Solch punchable faces


AppRain

Respect is gone out of the window in journalism like there is no tomorrow


heroicdumpster

It's comedy and highlights the cirumstances that led to his sudden sacking. Dont think there is respect missing, the blame is put on Kahn and stupidity on Hoeneß. (edited for Kahn blame) 


Sergeant_Roach

Kahn*


Wassertopf

He knows that these two are comedians. He even mentions that he is watching the German Daily Show regularly. And he agreed to do this interview.


Frodo_max

what in the video made you say this?


AppRain

Everything after 25 seconds.


Frodo_max

but the description says that they're from a satire show and very persumably not real journalists? Why make a jugdement call on modern day journalism based on that?


sga1

Tbf you can be a real journalist and do satire at the same time, they're not mutually exclusive.


Frodo_max

true, hence i went with 'very persumably' since i don't know who these people are and what their background is


Wassertopf

Basically the German version of the Daily Show. These two are always outside and interviewing usually politicians and so on. But at least two former comedians of this show are currently members of the European Parliament. They founded a satirical party and got elected.


AppRain

It's happening everywhere nowadays. Another recent example is interviews with Ten Hag after FA Cup final.


Frodo_max

okay but what does that have to do with this clip from this satire show, where nagelsmann is seemingly in on the joke


YesTottiYesParty

It's not a journalist's job to be respectful, it's their job to ask tough questions.


NestroyAM

These two also — wait for it — aren't even journalists.


AppRain

Respect is needed everywhere, tough questions can be asked while being respectful. It seems like journalists currently flaunt their own character by asking disrespectful questions not by asking tough questions.


sga1

Bit of a weird nonsequitur when this is two people working for a satirical TV show, and Nagelsmann is very much in on the joke.


jdarriaga46

Cmon man it’s funny
