The famous cartoonist Loriot was born in Brandenburg an der Havel.

Apparently he had a thing for pugs and one sketch he made was about a creature he thought up called “the wild forest pug”.

They put up „life-sized“ forest pug statues all over Brandenburg an der Havel in his honor.

Es ist echt krass wie viele Sprüche mit denen ich aufgewachsen bin (und die in meinen Wortschatz gewandert sind) ursprünglich von Loriot und Heinz Erhardt sind.

Advent

Es blaut die Nacht, die Sternlein blinken, Schneeflöcklein leis herniedersinken. Auf Edeltännleins grünem Wipfel läuft sich ein kleiner weißer Zipfel. Und dort vom Fenster her durchbricht den dunklen Tann ein warmes Licht. Im Forsthaus kniet bei Kerzenschimmer die Försterin im Herrenzimmer. In dieser wunderschönen Nacht hat sie den Förster umgebracht. Er war ihr bei des Heimes Pflege seit langer Zeit schon sehr im Wege. So kam sie mit sich überein: am Niklasabend muß es sein. Und als das Rehlein ging zur Ruh', das Häslein tat die Augen zu, erlegte sie direkt von vorn den Gatten über Kimm und Korn. Vom Knall geweckt rümpft nur der Hase zwei-, drei-, viermal die Schnuppernase und ruhet weiter süß im Dunkeln, derweil die Sternlein traulich funkeln.   Und in der guten Stube drinnen da läuft des Försters Blut von hinnen.  Nun muß die Försterin sich eilen, den Gatten sauber zu zerteilen. Schnell hat sie ihn bis auf die Knochen nach Waidmanns Sitte aufgebrochen. Voll Sorgfalt legt sie Glied auf Glied (was der Gemahl bisher vermied) -, behält ein Teil Filet zurück als festtägliches Bratenstück und packt zum Schluß, es geht auf vier, die Reste in Geschenkpapier. Da tönt's von fern wie Silberschellen, im Dorfe hört man Hunde bellen. Wer ist's, der in so tiefer Nacht im Schnee noch seine Runde macht? Knecht Ruprecht kommt mit goldnem Schlitten auf einem Hirsch herangeritten! He, gute Frau, habt ihr noch Sachen, die armen Menschen Freude machen? Des Försters Haus ist tiefverschneit, doch seine Frau steht schon bereit: Die sechs Pakete, heil'ger Mann, 's ist alles, was ich geben kann. Die Silberschellen klingen leise, Knecht Ruprecht macht sich auf die Reise. Im Försterhaus die Kerze brennt, ein Sternlein blinkt - es ist Advent.

Honestly quite good (albeit probably coincidental) NB representation/depiction from a German 70s Christmas Comedy

I found the video on reddit and thought tumbler might like it. Here is the original post:

What do you think of the German comedian Loriot? And about the TV show 'Sketch History'? I absolutely love both, and 'Sketch History' reminds me of Monty Python soo much (the team must have been majorly inspired by them). They really nailed the humour and came up with their own recurring characters and creative sketches. I wish I could translate all the sketches into English and show them to an international audience 😅

Omg I LOVE Loriot! Especially the TV series/the sketches. I could write entire essays about it. Did you know that he actually stole from Monty Python quite a bit? (I will put a paragraph on that below the cut bc I've wanted to talk about that for years now lol but feel free to just ignore that part)

Sadly I'm not the right person to talk about Sketch History with. I dislike that show so much for no apparent reason. I just really don't enjoy it and never found it that funny tbh, it's so far off my humour... I'm sorry. But after hearing your praise I will definitely give a few of their sketches another chance now and find out if they maybe remind me of Monty Python as well. Do you have any recommendations for which sketches are the best/most like Python?

And thank you for your ask! :)

Now, what did Loriot "steal"?

Most famous example is the Wrong Interview Partner sketch in which the wrong person (with an ordinary job) accidentally ends up in a TV studio, getting asked the questions which were intended for someone with an extreme job. (In one version it's a deep sea diver and in the other one it's an astronaut, can't remember which one is by whom.) Why is this one 'famous'? Because John Cleese himself spoke about it, pointing out that it really is copied in an obvious way.

A really obviously stolen sketch is the 'Superscope' sketch introducing a revolutionary new invention of an extremely wide screen on which you can watch entire races without a single cut or camera move. Since it's just a tiny strip of white across your TV screen you can't even hide that it's stolen. (In one case it's a horse race, I believe, and the other one a 500m sprint?)

Another one which is less obvious but I still believe was inspired a lot by Monty Python is the beloved "Das Bild hängt schief" in which a salesman is to wait in a room until someone has time for him and in the meantime -due to butterfly effect really- accidentally demolishes the whole interior piece by piece. Monty Python has a sketch where we have someone waiting for someone in a room, too, but in this case he ends up accidentally killing everyone of the staff who enters that room. (That would probably have been too extreme for German TV, while the need to correct a wonky hanging painting is way more realistic. But I wouldn't be surprised if Loriot did get inspired by MP.)

The last one is something that could also be wrong because I might have mixed it up in my memory but MP has the Hide and Seek Olympics. And in a little Loriot intersection we see a reporter (unsuccessfully) looking for the Hide and Seek finalist, too, if I remember correctly.

On the other hand I think it's not a bad thing. It was a normal thing to do: You see something you like in another country and try to bring it to your own people, too. It's been done with songs, game shows, anything... Its just interesting because at that time Monty Python's Flying Circus wasn't even that famous and loved in Britain itself. So knowing of its existence and deciding to use some of their material is quite fascinating to me. (The wrong interview sketch by Loriot was aired one day prior to the airing of Monty Pythons Fliegender Zirkus in 1972. The other sketches weren't aired until 1976 though.)

Pulled a Dickie Hoppenstedt today. Reactions vary from "Fancy!" to "Uff.." to "Retired Grandpa".

I don't really like Loriot (I could get my citizenship revoked for that) but I think almost daily about the sketch with the woman trying to summarise a British drama series and suffering from an increasingly ridiculous lisp because she has to pronounce all those fancy long words with 'th' and then just making this pathetic crying noise
