Guest alex Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I assumed it was deliberately unfunny in homage to German humour. 165786[/snapback] cunt 165790[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14030 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm still putting it through my German-manufactured humour processing machine (Humortiefanalysenanlage), which should provide an explanation as to why it was funny within half an hour or so. Then we can all nod and say "ah yes, I am seeing it now. This is being very witty." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6300 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I can't be the only one that LOVES things like You've Been Framed. People take the piss out of it, and the shocking puns by Beadle and that idiot Lisa Riley do spoil the show, but I sit and piss myself at some of the videos on it. 165719[/snapback] My fella pisses himself even when somebody trips over in the street in front of us. I'm constantly having to drag us into shop doorways or behind bus shelters to stop us getting physically assaulted. 165725[/snapback] Are you calling me a hom? 165735[/snapback] Flagrant tbh. The Germans have a "You've Been Framed" equivalent called "Upps!" (yes, it's German for "oops"). Why bother with a clever title when you can get straight to the point, after all? 165748[/snapback] Isegrim doesn't bother with "Upps!". He prefers a loud booming "BOLL-OX!!!" as heard by pretty much everyone in Eldon Square when he put a shot wide at the footy. 165753[/snapback] Was that before or after he tried to beat the shit out of the goal posts?

It's no wonder translators working into German bill by the character and not the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) You'd better like obscenely long compound nouns. It's no wonder translators working into German bill by the character and not the word. 165805[/snapback] It's one of the things that attracts me, when people find out I know a bit about computers I end up sorting out their various computer problems, so I've had to sort out a fair few German versions of Windows, compound-tastic. Everything about Germany appeals to my sense of humour, perhaps unsurprisingly. EDIT: German Windows does make it look like a comedy made-up language, like they've just glued a few English words together and 'Teutonised' it. Things like Filesystemwerken etc. Edited July 27, 2006 by DotBum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently something like 60% of the world's tax literature is published in German. No wonder the economy's fucked.............. </robw> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've got an Audi A3 (the expensive Golf) when it probably would have been more sensible to get an Octavia (or Seat Leon), the value Golfs.

Things like Filesystemwerken etc. 165807[/snapback] I'm still using the PC I had made up for me when I moved to Germany in mid-2001, with German-language Windows and all. Some of the terms are completely different and impenetrable, and then you get the comedy couldn't-be-arsed translations. "Systemadministrator" anyone?
