German Television Comedy
Germany has a long tradition of television comedy stretching as far back as the 1950s, and with its origins in cabaret and radio. 1960s *1963: '' Der 90. Geburtstag'' (''Dinner for One'') is a comedy sketch recorded on 8 July 1963 at ''Theater am Besenbinderhof'' in front of a real audience by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). Although it is actually performed in English, it is considered a cult television classic in Germany and it is still an integral component of the New Year's Eve schedule at several German television stations. 1970s When Otto's first show came out in 1973, it differed in many ways from those of traditional comedians also around at the time, such as Rudi Carrell (then aged 39) and Loriot (then 50). Rudi Carrell and Loriot dressed rather more formally in a suit and tie, and stood on a large stage with the audience seated in rows, whereas Otto, then only 25, with his long blond hair falling in his face, wore T-shirts and jeans, and sat on a smaller cabaret-style s ...

Fatsuit
A fatsuit, also known as a fat suit or a fat-suit, is a bodysuit-like undergarment used to thicken the appearance of an actress or actor of light to medium build into an overweight or obese character, in conjunction with prosthetic makeup. Fatsuits worn by characters are either deliberately visible or mainly concealed. Most are intended as unseen body padding beneath a costume (e.g., Rosemary Shanahan in ''Shallow Hal'', and Sherman Klump in '' The Nutty Professor''), others appear as realistic flesh and are viewed directly (e.g., Fat Bastard in ''Austin Powers'', and Les Grossman's hands in '' Tropic Thunder''). A fatsuit is often used to provide comedic effect, as in music videos for "Fat" by "Weird Al" Yankovic, " Marblehead Johnson" by The Bluetones, " Keine Lust" by Rammstein and " Way 2 Sexy" by Drake, and the episode " The Cooper Extraction" of ''The Big Bang Theory.'' Experience of obesity Fatsuits may also be used to impart the ''experience'' of being obese to the w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Schillerstraße
''Schillerstraße'' ("Schiller Street") was a German improvisational comedy show that aired weekly on Sat.1. It was recorded without a script and broadcast unedited to a large extent. The American broadcaster Fox has earned the licence for ''Schillerstraße'' and is to produce its own series. Idea and show structure The setting of the show is the living room of the main actor (until 2008 Cordula Stratmann, in 2009 Jürgen Vogel - all the actors keep their real names) who lives on the fictional street "Schillerstraße" in Cologne, Germany. The main character is regularly visited by friends and relatives. The participants only know the topic of the episode in advance. The whole plot has to be improvised comically. The cast receive directions from the ''Spielleiter'' (game master) on their headphones, and have to follow the cues, e.g. "Cordula: Tell the others you're pregnant!". The show mostly airs unedited and things that go wrong are not removed, either. The main cast have incl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
