Yesterday, a person speaking American tried to raise the American flag in Nuuk, Greenland. Bystanders immediately stopped him.
Turns out, this was German comedian Maximilian Schafroth. The Kingdom of Denmark has been threatened with war. Greenlandic children are traumatized. People are not sleeping. Soldiers are patrolling to prevent the invation. And Schafroth thought this would be a fun stunt in our age of disinformation.
If I know the Germans right, this will not improve his standup career.

Als Antwort auf Randahl Fink • • •The show is public TV and usually known for serious satire, not comedy or even cringe comedy.
The "comedian" is also known for satire.
So I don't understand this at all. How can anybody think this could be a great or funny idea?

German public TV might have some wires burning in their own house. It might not be good for the broadcaster, but it’s the comedian is likely thinking of their career outside of mainstream media.

Let's see what the context of this is - I'd assume they are making fun of Trump's attempts to colonize Greenland somehow...

Als Antwort auf WesDym • • •@wesdym @lexinova Somewhat of reduced English, I guess that's American. They constantly keep losing letters, like in humor with just one u, or an i missing from aluminium. Also heard the statement "There's Spoken English and Broken English". There are tons of quips.
But back to the guy: You can't fix stupid. Possibly too much I expect from my fellow countrymen. There seems to be a tendency of misbehaving when they go abroad.
LΞX/NØVΛ 🇪🇺
Als Antwort auf caneToad • • •@dazzr @wesdym yeah i just tend to be annoyed to people that threat a dialect as a "true" language, American is US english (with some change), nothing more nothing else.
But the Issue with a big part of US, is they are never exposed to international people, and when they do (tiktok) they go out of their way to acquire it and shut down this exposition.
If you weren't so isolated, majority of US would see that US is certainly not "the best and free country in the world".

Als Antwort auf LΞX/NØVΛ 🇪🇺 • • •@lexinova @wesdym Oh, i recall that one from a few years as a Visiting Researcher in the US:
Americans, with their love for abbreviations, label it ROW (Rest of World). Tons of folks that have no clue what's happening beyond their horizon.

"Or the one that asked what the world did to celebrate US independance (with us answering nothing lol)"
i thing your politics, and lack of proper educational system, have generate generation of people that are not capable of thinking outside of the box they learned to.
it's sad but EU cannot help people that refuse help.

Als Antwort auf WesDym • • •@wesdym yeah but sadly US seem to have integrated the issue at the core of their institution, that make the lie "US is the best in the world" more difficult to erradicate.
And when you spew so many people that think they are the best, they won't even listen to other that may have better solution in some part of the society.

Als Antwort auf maswan • • •@maswan flying a foreign flag like the Stars and Stripes is illegal in Denmark without a special permit. However, to accommodate the border regions, you can fly the flag of all Nordic nations, the EU flag, the UN flag and the German flag.
The US embassy in Copenhagen would likely have a permit, and I believe the 4th of July festival in Rebild had a permit before the Trump regime destroyed our relations.

No-one ever questions someone who looks like they’re actually going to do real work.
And the flag should have been hidden in a pouch that would only let the flag deploy once it reached the top of the pole.
This debacle really is a lack of proper planning all around, which is also quite un-German-like.

Anyhow, I guess it mostly shows how far away Greenland is for Germans. If it weren't for you and others on here, I wouldn't know about how locals reactions. So thanks for posting.

Stephan Matthiesen
Als Antwort auf Randahl Fink • • •He's a fairly successful comedian and recently got into a lot of trouble for attacking conservative politicians at a beer festival, basically he lost a job over that.
However, part of his routine is that he plays reactionary types in order to make fun of them, or even going undercover to right-wing parties and such. If you know that this a stage persona, it can be quite funny. i guess this went wrong because nobody in Greenland knew the context.

Als Antwort auf Randahl Fink • • •In my youth (1970s), a lot of Germans tourists had some fun when they tried to raise the German flag at a flag pole in front of their Danish vacation home 🙂. It has gotten a bit more relaxed since then.
Schafroth would have been more funny if he tried to annex the White House by raising the Greenland flag there. But you would risk getting shot at ...
I guess he was just plain insensitive instead of malicious.
Most people never live a prolonged time outside their country. I would strongly recommend for every teenager to do that, just to learn about cultural differences. That can prevent fuckups like this.

I have to say the writers messed up with this stunt... You can literally get shot for doing something like this.
I don't know if he wrote the script or it was handed to him.

Als Antwort auf Randahl Fink • • •"If I know the Germans right, this will not improve his standup career." – I could be wrong but I think most Germans just heard his name for the very first time - I certainly did. Looked him up and he works for a political satire show on public television that IMO is rather dull, not very clever humor targeting mainly elderly people. However that's just my perception, nothing against people who like the show or the elderly. Anyway I don't think this will have major repercussions for him in Germany, also as far as I can tell he doesn't have much of a standup comedy career to begin with. They also issued a statement that Greenland wasn't supposed to be the butt of the joke, so my guess is they just wanted to shoot a quick ~30 second clip where he says some punchline mocking Trump in front of the flag and move on, and obviously didn't consider that could be an issue for locals. Honestly I'm surprised they even had the budget to fly a film crew to Greenland for that silly shit.
EDIT: Apparently I was very wrong about the show's popularity, I just looked it up and their last episode had a market share of 13.7%. I still think it's rather cringe humor, no idea who all these people are that watch it. ;)
