"Explodierer-Parents" is mistranslated for comedy purposes. It's meant to be "Boomer-Parents", it's a running joke on ich_iel to write sentences in "Denglisch", using words translated literally from English instead of their real translations

We Germans use the word "Dino" as an abreveation for "Dinosaurier" (in English "dinosaur"), "Teller" is German for "plate". Combined, this gives us "Dinoteller", which sounds similar to "die Nutella". And we Germans just can't decide on which pronoun (der, die, das) is the correct one for Nutella, although I believe "der Nutella" is generally considered as wrong.

She saw the restaurant/pub is closed. and she instantly felt like: "this will be bad!". Then her husband arrived after a 3h hiking/Nordic walking. All he wanted was a nice cold beer after all this hardships. Then she told him "it's closed honey". And he was mad. :D It couldn't be any more accurate then that xD I feel his pain

with ampel/traffic light they dont actually mean a traffic light. its the colors of the political parties that are in charge atm. and cause its green yellow and red its called ampel/traffic light

You seriously need a German Friend to really explain the meaning of all these jokes because so much gets lost in translation 🙏 Love your videos more then you could think. Being a German citizen makes me hate this country at times but you often bring to light the amazing and funny part of it all thank you big time! ❤

About the financial officer: Craftsmen sometimes tell their clients to not demand a bill. That way, the costs for the client are lower, and the craftsman can cheat on how much taxes he has to pay. It's technically illegal, but is also widely reguarded as a "Kavalliersdelikt" (a trivial offense that may be beneficial to more people, that can go under the radar) to the populace. A financial officer however, can obviously NOT ignore if the tradesman tries to cheat a bit with their price. So it's awkward when the tradesman doesn't get the hint that he's openly committing to a crime.

Müsli is not trail mix, it is basically healthy cereal.

Mountain: on some mountains there are "huts" with a restaurant. The couple was climbing the mountain for three hours, and the hut was closed. Now they have to return without eating or drinking - 2 hours way at least.

13:58 German dialects aren’t standardised, meaning there is no definitive spelling or grammar. So when people try to write in their dialects they have to make it up as they go along and nobody can read it.

The guy on the mountain is angry because he wasn't in the mood for hiking at all. He just came along to have a Weißbier and then leave again. But the restaurant in the hut was closed so he couldn't get one. Bis outburst is merely that he had been walking for three hours for nothing and uses a lot of Bavarian swearwords.

The green party politician at minute 5:00 was holding a master sword and dressed like Link. Some people still don't know about Zelda, i guess.

14:09 On the meme with the Nutella saw a "dino plate" in the third photo (In german „Dino-Teller“). It sounds like "die Nutella". In Germany people are discussing which article is the right one (der, die or das) for "Nutella".

The one responding to the tweet at 1:17 (Punica) is a german juice company. I dont know why they of all thought they needed to respond, but seeing as they responded in english, maybe they considered that AH didn't like "juice" and felt they had to correct 👍 The guys at 2:15 look like skinheads/Neo Nazis/modern fashists, which are typically bald 2:36 Not getting a receit means moonlighting (unofficial work). The german word for it is Schwarzarbeit, which literally translates to black work, hence the picture 3:25 I think the meme here, picture-wise, is that if you have less work days, its a given that you have less absent days automatically. It's like "DUH!" 4:05 A Wasserwaage is literally a water scale. You use it to make things level in construction work. You observe when the bubble is perfectly in the middle, which is indicating the scale is level. And yes, the english word is spirit level🤷‍♂. The joke here is that there is no spare bubbles. That'd just be air. They are messing with the trainee, waiting to see how long it will take him until he figures out he's been fooled. 6:35 Die Grünen/The greens is simply put germanies' Hippy Party. Green energy, animal rights, eat vegan and so forth. So the joke is even when people vote them, they'd still eat meat. Meanwhile the french go on barricades if macron eats the wrong müsli/muesli. Muesli is essentially morning cereal, but healthy (oatmeal and other cereal with raisins/other tried fruit and nuts. I guess the french are just more serious about their politics is the joke. The story at 10:15 is a little harder to translate, because it involves dialect and cussing in dialect but I'll try; Wife: Oh shit, when he sees that (the tourist spot is closed), uuuh Husband: A quick wheat beer? *soft cursing/complaining in german as he struggles his way up* Cruzifix! (jesus cross) here, *more swearing* kiss my ass here with this hiking hiking hiking. A quick wheat bear and we can continue. Wife: Honey that's not gonna happen. Husband: Why not? Wife: Honey, they are closed. Husband: hard cursing: JA LECK MICH DOCH AM ARSCH, LECK MICH DOCH AM ARSCH! SO EIN SCHEIßDRECK! DA PISS ICH DRAUF. DAS GIBTS JA NICHT! DA GEH' ICH WIEDER ZURÜCK! DA LAUF ICH DREI STUNDEN DIESEN DRECKSBERG RAUF! DREI STUNDEN! UND DANN IST DIE SCHEIß HAUSTÜR ZU! DAS GIBTS JA NICHT! CRUZIFIX (Kiss my ass, why dont you?! such a shitty thing! I'm pissing on that! Can't be happening! I'll be going back! I'm hiking three hours up this shitty mountain and the shitty door is closed? Can't be happening! Jesus cross!) Wife: Well, let's go back home then. Husband: Well sure another 2 hours! tdlr: the man wanted a beer after a 3h hike and was left parched in the sticks, having to walk all the way back. Never seperate a german or austrian from his beer, it means war. 12:21 I have a feeling that we'll see a lot of arson, and a lot of reluctant fire fighters in the future. 14:00 is a double joke. German uses the articles of der/die/das instead of just "the", like english. Der is masculine, die is feminine, and das is neutral. Nutella is not a german word, so there's no definite rule to it and everyone's just using what they are comfortable for. It goes first with der, then das. The logical conclusion is then that the third picture would say "Die Nutella". However instead it shows a plate with dinosaurs on it. Plate in german means Teller, and short for Dinosarier/Dinosaur is Dino. So the last plate is essentially Dinoteller/Die Nutella , which sounds the same. It's a pun 😉 17:36 The word Saupreis is bavarian dialect and means Saupreuße (Pig Prussian). Bavaria has had beef with Prussia like a century ago and I guess some bavarians are jerks about it. I dont know if it extends to other german regions or other countries though. Kölsch is the regional beer of Köln/Cologne, which is germanies city of carneval (for them its the 5th season of the year). Müsli is not trail-mix/Studentenfutter. It's explained further up.

Das Nutella, Der Nutella, Die Nutella It's about using the right "article" (der, die, das), but "Die Nutella" has a similar pronounciation like "Dino Teller" which means "Dino plate"

On the Ecuador thing: They're not making more money that way, they lose less money. The coke is mixed into concrete and then used to build foundations and cellars, which turns out to be a lot cheaper and quicker than burning it. And once it's mixed in, there's pretty much no way to get it back.

Ryan Wass am Morgen vertreibt Kummer und Sorgen :D

Klotz: wooden blocks just were the ancestry of Lego. Great bricks for building castles and houses and bridges and... I loved them Lego is also great, but indeed I still think that the wooden blocks have more possibilities in making buildings, if only you have enough phantasy.

In the video, they were walking for 3 hours and the only thing keeping the guy going was the thought of a nice beer in that hut, but when they arrived they found out that the hut was closed. So he was just ranting about it.

Dear Ryan, 5:13 ... thats exactly the joke! school starts at 7:99 ... means, that guy never visited a school!

I think the video is so funny! Hiking up the mountains for three hours and the hut is closed, no snack , no beer (for me the only reason to hike up there) and the guy is so disappointed and swearing in dialekt🤣🤣🤣

I think Angela was just hungry... When she was in my small town for a PR event, she was also looking for the kitchen to get some regional food 😂

Amiland = Amerikaland, which we say sometimes instead of USA

14:19 It’s supposed to say „Dinoteller“ (dinosaur plate) which sounds similar to „Die Nutella“😂 The meme refers to the old german argument about which article to use for nutella😂

11:30 They walked 3 Hours and the " Alm " isn't open

explodierer-Eltern is a mistranslation. It is boomer parents, explodierer corresponds to exploding and it is translated that way because explosions go boom. This certain subreddit (and some others) like to translate EVERYTHING in German in a way that it is not the same in english even if it is stupid.

You could call it an infamous tradition in craft professions to send the trainee to get something that doesn't exist, but sounds like it could. A replacement bubble for the spirit level, a bucket of pressurized air, transmission-sand or my favourite, the "Siemens Lufthaken" which translates to Air-Hook. :D

'Saupreiß' is a term in Bavarian that means 'shit Prussian', coming from the rivalry between Prussia and Bavaria

Danke, Ryan! Obwohl 67 Jahre alt, von Geburt Deutscher, in Deutschland lebend, 45 Jahre als CNC-Dreher, -Fräser, -Schleifer und -Programmierer gearbeitet, seit 7 Jahren in Rente, war und ist mir vieles hier so nicht bekannt! Wusste noch nicht mal, was "Memes" sind! Die 13 vorherigen Memesvideos natürlich auch geschaut!

Explodierer = Boomer

Ryan: "Do you guys drive the speed limit there?" Me: "The law requires that I answer -no- YES."

You should react to Seitenbacher Advertisments.

It's "exploders" because it translates kind of to "boomer" Bergsteigermüsli is a meme because ther was an ad where the owner said:"Seitenbacher Bergsteigermüsli, Bergsteigermüsli von Seitenbacher" (Seitenbacher's trailmix, trailmix from seitebacher)

you are getting so good at german in terms of reading and pronounciation and "feeling" the language !!!!!

"Ampel" Is the name of the current coalition, that is forms the German government, SPD = red FDP = yellow and the Greens. So it has nothing to do with a real traffic light! ^^

The bavarian guy walked 3 hrs uphill to have a beer in that on-top-off-the-hill bar and it is closed today 😄 (bavarian swearing inaudible)

Cologne Karneval is an experience for sure. Four days of absolute madness: 80% of all people are in costumes, music's coming out of every door, the streets become confetti covered dance floors and at the end they burn a puppet wicker man style, it's insane

18:20 Seitenbacher is a meme because of their add. The owner of the company speaks it himself in strong bavarian dialect and it‘s the same for years now.

If I got 10 cents for every time Angela Merkel cut a Döner Kebab, I’d have enough money to buy me a Döner Kebab~

I dont know if I can take another video with Ryan not knowing what the traffic light / Ampel is

This was your best german meme episode yet :D loved it :D

Fun fact: "Sicherheitsabstand" only translates to "safety distance" but it's most commonly used in the car context. However, you can also use it in a different context.

14:47 "Sicherheitsabstand" only translates to "safe distance". The extra “between vehicles” is only while driving.

Honestly, i don’t know why i find it entertaining. Well good job :)

10:41 Here's a translation of what they're saying: Her: "Oh shit! When he sees this... Oh Lord!" Him: "Order me a wheat beer! Cruzifix (a common Bavarian curse)! Kiss my ass with your hiking! Hikey hikey hike! Order a wheat beer and a... A thing..." Her: "Darling, that may not be possible." Him: "Why not?" Her: "Darling, they are closed." Him: "Kiss my ass! Kiss my ass! This is shit! I piss on it! This can't be real! I'm walking up this dirty ass mountain for three hours. Three hours! And now this shit-house is closed! This can't be true! Cruzifix!" Her: "It's not that bad. Now we just go home!" Him: "Yeah! Sure! Two more hours [of hiking]!"

16:11 this is a wooden building brick, they come in various sizes for children to build houses and stuff. Popular in Kindergarten. The joke is in referring to it as "Klotz", which is a colloquial word best translated as "clump" used to referr to everything from pieces of firewood to fat people. It mocks the simplicity of stacking pieces of wood ontop of each other and making it look like something special with the "known from radio and TV (ads)" caption. Most of these sets I have seen were gifted by woodworking companies to the Kindergartens, though I guess you can buy them too.

"Exploder" is a semi-correct translation to "boomer". So in that meme, they were referring to parts of the older german generation still not having caught on to the fact that you can indeed reach places without driving there

Ngl for a second I thought the Blinkist sponsored part of the video was an actual advert recorded by them. You should consider a career in [radio] moderation, would fit your voice pretty well the way I see it ^^

About the traffic light: The German parties all have an associated colour. Like Black for the CDU, Red for the SPD, Yellow for the FDP and Green for... the Greens. That's where the traffic light originates from: Red, Yellow, Green.

I am soo happy for ryan :3 Keep going!!

"Do you need an invoice" is code for "I don't want to declare this job, so I pay less taxes and I can give you a discount" in germany and other european countries.

Most people here actually also go 10kph above the limit, and most traffic cams don’t even trigger below that. I certain areas they are set to the exact speed limit though, so you only trust those cams you go through daily

The guys in every pub: Are we the baddies? ... No, but the balddies.

The Picture of "the greens electing Germans vs the French on the street" is really simple in Europe. The French are really fast in an anger and going to demonstration if the establishment changes something than CAN harm the French. Think about the French Revolution in 1789. We German are way more pationt, keep calm and stay at home.

love that you are getting sponsors!

Damn, your pronunciation is getting really good. I can totally understand what you are reading out loud without having to read

Punica has no official twitter, the verified one is a meme account. Some of the stuff they post is hilarious and many ppl dont get that its a fake. They announced that Punica will stop production in 2022 and some journalists believed it and wrote articles.

he walked 3 hours to get a beer there and it seems he wont get one

Der Nutella, Das Nutella and the third is Die Nutella, clever hidden as a Dinoteller, dinosaur plate. Pronounced the same, Die Nutella and Dinoteller :D

About " 1 hours is like 7 Years on earth" -> Mostly in those town offices, cellphones have the worst signal.... so you cant really use your cellphone... you can only read magazines from 5 years ago

16:10 I’m not a boomer parent but most of these were part of my childhood toys too lol

Its not Traffic Light because the Ampel means something different in this case. Whats meant here is the Ampel-Coalition because the parties of the coalition are green, yellow and red. The Ampel coalition is the governing coalition in germany right now

3:44 this memetemplate basically sais: "(very sarcastic) Wow, hwo would have thought? I'd never see that coming.."

Your sponsered voice sounds so professional! 😃 Either you have experience or you're a natural.

Watch out guys, this is NOT Rayn! It's his evil twin. You can spot him at the scar below his right eye.

Thank you for doing the Video

The old guy in the video was angry because he hiked for three hours to a restaurant just to see it's closed and his wife was kinda laughing about it and anticipating it in the beginning of the video.

The 4 day week is a new concept of work in which you only work 4 days a week but still get full salary. (I am unsure how the 35 work hours fit into that but the basic concept is now explained)

"Bsteu a Weißbier, kruzefix..." 😂

Who's gonna try and translate the Nutella joke? 🤣

Sicherheitsabstandregelverstoß! :P Ryan =Geheimer Meme-Spezialbeauftragter

@Klotz: That's a reference to "Ren and Stimpy". There are some clips about a toy called log (German: Klotz). "Looog! Looog! It's better than bad, it's good!"

So from what I can tell: I got "geblitzt" two times since I got my drivers license. In both cases I was about 20 km/h above the speed limit but got a ticket which told me it was only something about 5 - 10 km/h. So no big deal. I learned from many other drivers, that you can drive about 10 km/h above the speedlimit but it happens to be more common for people who don't recognize the speed limit, that they would slow down to 10 - 30 km/h below speed limit, if they know there is a camera. Nobody knows why.

The guy at the 4 day week symbolizes: oh who could have thought that (in an ironic way); the spare bubble means a new air bubble for the spirit level (a straight "ruler" in order to straighten everything) which is obviously not possible because its due to the liquid and the bubble it self doesnt "exist"; the Nutella meme refers to the conflict which article should be used for Nutella andd the last one is a Dino-Plate or in german Dino Teller which is spoken like "die Nutella"; and yeah you should go to the Carnival it is crazy good and funny but A LOT of alcohol too

Again: Traffic light is a synonym for the current german government coalition :D

don't worry foreigners are safe at the oktoberfest saupreiß is a derogatory term for northern germans

The second point on the "in case of war" is not "would want to be trained" but "would expect to be conscripted/trained"

Explodierer-Eltern is boomers in english 😆

I am beginning to think Exploder Parents might actually be a follow up translation error of Boomer Parents. Since a Boom is a explosive development.

The funniest part was when the screen popped up again, and AGAIN, at the end! 😄🤭

you need someone to explain the memes to you

It's a good old tradition of kidding trainees. In all professions there is probably one or the other part / device / machine / thing that doesn't actually exist and that the trainee should then fetch. Is actually a good test to find out whether the apprentice can think for himself or just blindly follows orders. When I learned my job (I'm a cook) there were things like "the raisin gun" or "the caraway seed splitting machine"🤣 that you should get....and an intelligent person naturally wonders why you should split caraway or raisins shoot in the cake . It's ok if you then say: "ha ha, nice try😏

fulll employment in germany is usually 40h a week (8h per day)

the Ampel is a coalition of parties in Germany, these have the colors of a traffic light red, yellow, green

Ampel/traffic light ist like a nickname to the governing coalition in Germany(spd=red, fdp=yellow, green party =green)

14:19 Dino (= short Form of "Dinosaur") + Teller (german: "Plate) = Dino Teller / Die Nutella

ein ganzes Buch lesen? Das ist dann aber "Krieg und Frieden" mit 1.500 Seiten 🤣13:42 ich musste so lachen 😂😂😂

15:00 directly translated it’s safety-distance, so just two words combined :)

In early days of Merkels run as chancellor, she'd go to a lot of events to cut kebab mostly to show support for the large wave of turkish immigrants going on at the time. They would often integrate by creating Kebab food stalls and restaurants. It's not unlikely, walking through any german town or city, to walk past multiple "Döner Imbiss" on just any casual stroll.

I want Ryan to do every Saitenbacher Bergsteigermüsli commercial from now on!!!

@Ryan Wass dino plate translates to "Dinoteller" which sounds like "Die Nutella".

The Seitenbacher Bergsteigermüsli had a radio ad, spoken by the company‘s founder who has a very annoying voice and an even more annoying dialect. The ad was basically him saying: „yo Karle (Carl, a returning (mute?) fictional character spanning over multiple ads), we have made it (wind noises in the background) Good thing we ate the Seitenbacher Bergsteigermüsli. (Mountaineer müsli) Seitenbacher Bergsteigermüsli. Bergsteigermüsli by Seitenbacher! Seitenbacher! Bergsteigermüsli!!“ it caused my FIL to write a letter of complaint to Seitenbacher but it‘s still unanswered years later. 😮 😂

14:25 "Dino-Teller", sounds like "Die Nutella"

6:43 It's especially sketchy when the banner says "Merkel has to go!" A very popular chant on demonstrations of the far right after the so called migrant crisis in 2015. The bottom line translates to "France when Macron eats the wrong kind of muesli (cereals)." I don't know how Google Translate could mess this up so badly.

Dino-Teller... that joke got me.

When I saw the "you can make noodles warm"/"you can make noodles cold" meme, I thought to myself you really should look into more german trash/cult TV like "the Ludolfs from the trash yard" (Die Ludolfs vom Schrottplatz)

"Klotz" is a nod to the cartoon series "Ren & Stimpy", where a log of wood was being advertised as a childrens' toy. "Powdered Toastman" is more famous, though.

omg der Dinoteller, ich schmeiß mich weg 😁

We gave a very special marriage present to friends of mine. All friends collected plastic bottles for one year. Then we filled up their flat with over over 4000 plastic bottles. It was about 1000€😂

I don't know if it's just me but I'm mostly 2-5km/h over the speed limit. But if someone is on my ass trying me to drive faster then the amount I'm already over .yI immediately go down to the Speed Limit like "Mer what are u gonna do now?" 😅
