On the 10th anniversary of Loriot's death – which of his classic sketches do you like best?

Ten years ago today, Loriot, one of the most versatile German humorists, died at the age of 87.

As a caricaturist, he has already created style-defining and humorous works in numerous books.

His later television work included numerous sketches, fragments of which, like words or sentences, have become part of the German language, as anyone with a grasp of German humor has probably heard phrases like " Krawehl, Krawehl!" , " There used to be more tinsel" or " A life without a pug is possible, but pointless." somewhere.

In his honor, we would like to know today which of his sketches is your favorite.

Of course, you can also name another sketch or several sketches by or with him.

Feel free to tell us which show you enjoyed watching Loriot in or which of his two films you prefer. And if you'd like, you can browse this playlist of videos from/about him.

The idea, the text including the selection of the quote on PS, the 6 sketches in the survey, the playlist and the picture come from our .

With best regards

iA Phoenix686

PS: "Anyone who thinks humor consists of making fun of others hasn't understood humor. To be funny, you must, above all, put yourself at risk." – Loriot.

In any case, rest in peace.

My dear Loriot Sketch is Christmas at Hoppenstedts, as Vicco by Bülow shows so many comedian facets in this part of his television series Loriot from my point of view and this is then in perfection. I think that makes this episode a fireworks of comic entertainment.

Best regards

PS: Originally, the sketches are part of the 42 minutes 14. Follow the television series Loriot and were broadcast annually on Christmas at Hoppenstedts with a duration of 25 minutes from 1997 in a newly cut and shortened version under the title Christmas at Hoppenstedts. This new editing version ignores individual sketches and concentrates more on Christmas topics and the main history of the episode.

Like Loriot at least on his 10. Day of death continues to rest in peace:

The quote is true. Everyone can take jokes about others, make people look after and pan out. However, only a few jokes about themselves or as he says “set myself to disposition”.

My therapist once showed me a episode of Loriot 6 in which it was Christmas! I laughed dead. He only showed me the sketches with the family and the grandpa hahah

He doesn’t go directly with himself, but how Evelyn Hamann as a TV actress with English names, I find it great:

Oh, my God, ten years ago, this is back… it’s a bit bad as time passes. Since I can honestly (also as a fan of the Vicco of Bülow) hardly decide; let me answer that —–> it is not a sketch in itself, but the whole movie “Pappa ante Portas” from 1991.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H1gQ2hp5h

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTdwzKMGEvU

He is a collection of skurriler and therefore inconceivable good quotes and recordings from “my name is Lohse, I buy here” to the Drögel-Riegel, the Klobrush salesman (where one thinks that these are Jehovah’s Witnesses), the Birne Helene, the Mielke-Sister (“Brigitte, do you come from Hamburg…?), the alleged Liler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1-wg5XQka0

…the commentary “my child sits and speaks” about his 16-year-old son Dieter in the chef’s room and of course Hedwig and Helmut on the train (“we add very well – I am always happy if Hedwig knows better”).

Of the books published by Loriot in the Diogenes publishing house, we have “Loriot’s little guides” and “people, animals, catastrophes” (the last “only” of Reclam as booklets). It’s both funny and a class for itself.

The one with the wine tasting (“these wines have captured the sun”), after the wine representative comes the vacuum cleaner representative and one of an insurance. After that there are cuts with egg and all are drunk.

I find the cartoons best with Mr. Müller-Lüdenscheidt and Dr. Klöbner. From your list, “Herren im Bad” is undoubtedly my no.1. When it comes to the duck, I can’t go any more (“I’m dipping now until you let the duck water.” Unfortunately I did not find this cartoon on YouTube (only played by amateurs 🥴🤭).

I also find these three:

Yeah, sorry. But I was glad to see this one again. I always liked Loriot’s comments when he sat on the sofa and passed over to the next Sketch.

I want an egg.

You should have come a few hours earlier. I kissed yours. But maybe you wouldn’t have wanted it, because with me it must always be 7-minute eggs: solid protein + semi-liquid egg.

I also find the Jodeldiplom/E.Hamann as if it was looked into the future, and who knew before that, at some point, gender will be forced on to the general public, because that is something like that in green.

Speaking of green

Where are they going? Where are they going? Oh, the lawn is beautiful green

The Sketch with the modest name “Skat” is my favorite. Unfortunately, it is no longer found in the original on YouTube.

“Do you play Skat?”

“Not right now. ‘

“What’s his name?”

“Moosbach”

‘Karo’

“But what is trump?”

‘kaarooo’

In an almost empty pub and the question: “Play Skat”.

Answer: not at the moment.

I find this answer much better than a sneaky ‘no’.

I don’t like his movie stuff very much.

But I love grandiose word games, so in my top 3 it is quite clear:

If a trumpeter blows into a violin…

Otherwise, no sketch, but in place 1:

Christmas

Otherwise, place 3 would have to think, there would be a lot to choose from.
