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.
@randahl yeah, it’s not even good humour at that point either.

@randahl "I thought I could get some shock laughs! I'm not that good of a comedian, to tell the truth."

@randahl 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?

@randahl
He's actually in public TV and the political satire is actually really good.Let's see what the context of this is - I'd assume they are making fun of Trump's attempts to colonize Greenland somehow...

@randahl don’t you mean English, since American isn’t a language?
• English (simplified)
• English (traditional) -
@DavidNielsen @randahl Don't know who said it, but "The British and Americans are two people separated by a common language"
Since I have #AuDHD and thus enjoy a good rabbit hole.

@randahl
The Germans have a different sense of humor. -
@CyberPunker He's a pretty good Bavarian comedian known for his biting political satire. But here he went too far.
@sternentau @CyberPunker @randahl
He has definitly hights and lows in the quality of his work. This is one of the lows. -

@randahl I think I have heard that raising a foreign flag is technically illegal in Denmark, but there was talk of changing this. Has this happened? And would this law apply on Greenland? Was he attempting an illegal act, and could be barred from entry in the future?

@randahl Sadly I can not boycott him or anything, since I never thought this guy was funny. But I really hope he wasn't doing it for one of the shows he appears in.

@randahl We always knew the Germans' sense of humor was rarely in good taste.

@randahl@mastodon.social as a German citizen myself I can only ask: Who the fuck is Maximilian Schafroth?

@randahl He should have been wearing a hard hat, high-vis vest, and carrying a clipboard.
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.
