@somnolentverve2183 Год назад

I've lived in Germany for about a year, and I'm still not used to the staring thing. I thought it was bc I look different, but no, it's just a German thing lol. It's pretty jarring when you're socially anxious, but eh, the train system is pretty cool.

@hmvollbanane1259 Год назад

The problem is that many people not accustomed to what they perceive as being starred at act either uncomfortable or become angered which of course causes even more unwanted attention. The stereotypical sentence of a Turkish immigrant looking for trouble is "was guckst du?" - "why are you looking?" and growing up pre-internet and only knowing my only culture I believed for the longest time that it was some weird Turkish habit/ saying they just carried over to Germany, it was not until I encountered anglophone expats on RU-vid complaining about getting "starred" at all the time in Germany that I realized that they actually meant it the way they said it

@somnolentverve2183 Год назад

@@hmvollbanane1259 That's so interesting bc I always thought of turks as being more or less integrated, and that the Germans are used to seeing them, so they don't really get stared at. From an outsider's perspective, I can understand why they get upset haha, it can be a bit much sometimes. Personally, I don't get angry, just very anxious and I pretend not to notice when I'm being stared at 😅.

@hmvollbanane1259 Год назад

@@somnolentverve2183 oh everyone is getting looked at ^^ I am 1,95m tall so no matter what I do I will always have people looking at me as my physique gathers attention if I want it or not. It's just that it is normal to us Germans and hence we don't really care/ feel secure with it (there is no safer place on earth than a rural small town with its grandma-surveillance-system). On the other hand if people look passed me, avert their eyes when I notice them or avoid eye contact I get anxious as that is a really bad sign in Germany (took me quite a bit of getting used to when I lived in Canada as an exchange student for a year)

@somnolentverve2183 Год назад

@@hmvollbanane1259 Oh woww I never would have considered that averting eye contact would garner more attention and that it'd be considered suspicious and anxiety inducing to strangers on the street. Staring where I'm from is considered more threatening and more invasive. I think it's true that the people staring are usually secure and feel at ease with their environment. If you lived where I'm from, you'd get looked at for sure bc of your height (congratulations sounds weird to say, but yeah). I'm like 156cm, so sometimes I get looks from very tall people. It's funny bc we both can't wrap our heads around the obvious vertical size difference lol.

@user-xk6jw3wi5u Год назад

@@somnolentverve2183 Most importantly it's not staring (when you are in Germany). It's the normal awareness of our surroundings. And yes it is really obvious when someone is not aware of their surroundings or worse tries to avoid looking into it. It's considered rude, like you try to dodge us. Most likely it won't be perceived suspicious but for sure awkward. But normally we don't look at anyone particular just recognising that someone is present. It's common curtesy. When we start to stare (that what is called "starren" in Germany and the direct translation to "stare" is way more intense than "to stare" is. People who stare "starren" are really impolite and cross social boarders. For you it most likely would feel like they try to pierce your soul. It's really bad. What you consider staring is looking for us, and what we consider staring is only describable in English.). So don't feel bothered. Start to look at people, we not only don't mind, we actually are glad when you do. Because when you don't you radiate the feeling of unpredictability.

I think the point is that we have different definitions of staring. When you are casually walking down the street in Germany, you will probably make short eye contact with the persons you encounter. From my experience, this is what Americans already will consider 'staring'.

@hmvollbanane1259 Год назад

It's true. Though starring is also considered rude here there is a world of a difference in what we would consider starring. Looking at people, starring wholes into the air, being interested in your surroundings is indeed normal and gets many foreigners boiling for no apparent reason to us. The stereotypical sentence of an angered Turkish immigrant rushing at you for no perceivable reason is "Was guckst du?" (Why are you looking?) and most of us take it as a weird Turkish phrasing they carried over into Germany as to us it is just the most normal and natural thing to do

Also remember Flula is a comedian so ofc. he will overstate and exaggerate things. What is true though is that Eastern Germany isn't as multicultural as the west so by percentage foreigners may get more stares than say e.g. in Western Germany or the US. Doesn't necessarily mean that they are racist or creeps, but mostly that it is something new / unusual to them in the same way that I got stares and comments while living in Eastern Turkey as a German.

Flula is so much more confident and easy with his responses in this interview. Is he intimidated by Conan? Is that why he's hesitant when Conan is present? Or is it a more sexual thing?

Flula is a national treasure. I'm not sure which nation, but a treasure nevertheless.

Definitely not Germany, since nobody knows him here.

@@currykingwurst6393 well his humor doesn't really work in Germany 😄 as a German I find him funny, but his whole thing is acting like a clueless German with over the top accent who gets everything wrong, that really just plays to an English native speaking audience (or at least people very in tune with English like myself for example). ^^

@@DOSkywalkR this is how every immigrant in america learns to survive, so dont hold it against him.

@@pahwraith Can confirm. It seems humor goes a long way when you think your English is not the best. And humor really helps open doors.

Not German treasure. I am very sure about that. He is not only unknown to most here, he also is quite boring in regards of actual comedy. He has a quick mind, I have to give him that and he understands America as an audience, so all yours.

I'm German, never heard of this dude.

@user-xk6jw3wi5u Год назад

I heard the first time of him as he was making a joke that it's logical that Germans are always the bad guys, because have you wikiedia'ed German history. Big bummer in America, really boring for Germans. He is quick witted, but that is kind of everything he has to offer. He's chewing stereotypes as they come and present them with his overly artificial German accent. It seems to be people pleaser over there.
