"Christmas with Joko and Klaas": Gackerventil before the holiday boom

2019-12-24T09:32:04.433Z


The format recycling review reconciles nostalgia and shack humor. The right thing to do at the end of the year: a Ugly Christmas sweater that has become a show - not traditionally pretty, but incredibly cozy.



There is probably no time during the year when people would laugh more readily at thought-out names like "Gertrud Bumsstiefel" and marginally alienated celebrity aliases like "Poritz Bleibfeucht" and "Peter Schlaff-Ei" than a day before Christmas Eve. Because in the past few days you have been thinking about red cabbage longer than it can be healthy, and because the small, inner vat in which you catch the brass of the current year has spilled dangerously.

As in 2018, "Christmas with Joko and Klaas" with its mix of traditional trademark games, collected from various shows of the two, served as a ventilated relief laugh offer. The result is a Ugly Christmas sweater that has become a show: not traditionally pretty, but incredibly cozy.

Which is certainly also the case, because the spirit of Christmas is particularly fond of tradition, and because some show elements by Klaas Heufer-Umlauf and Joko Winterscheidt, which have since been scrapped, definitely have the potential for nostalgic transfiguration for their fans - an "exit through our own memories" the Heufer circulation.

Of course they play in their Christmas revue "Endure not laughing", and of course the team with Joko loses in it, because Joko is the one who always laughs, even if his opponent Matthias Schweighöfer only holds up a physical mirror to him or from the exuberant synonym of fecal synonym reads the fictional diary of little Joko (for "freeing a brown bear from Darmstadt" there is really only this little desperation window just before Christmas to take effect). But cocks are also put in poultry-sized pants to re-enact the Brexit, photos of funny toads are shown, and Klaas is once dressed up as a cute mouse.

There is a really amusing reunion with the idea of ​​the "backward show", originally presented in the "best show in the world". When Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf compose well-known songs on important topics of the past year in their tried and tested "Satirehits" section, one is dismayed to see how sad it really is that this formerly beloved annual retrospective section no longer exists in the Street forked people sing their hits of the year.

These songs of the year could mature into an annual replacement tradition, at some point traditions have to start: when Winterscheidt, dressed up as Billie Eilish, whose "bad guy" is transformed into the housing market protest song "Miethai" and Palina Rojinski Shakira's "Waka Waka" as an e-scooter- Ethno-Stampfer ("Battery from Africa!") Or titles such as "I'm sorry, Boris Johnson" and "17 years, Wendler there" are invitingly reminiscent of the song obscurations from early Otto and Mike Krüger days.

Probably the most anarchic, barely topable Christmas show of all time was delivered in 1991 by Harald Schmidt, who tested the pre-Christmas racism level of apartment rental companies by showing up with a well-dressed Roberto Blanco as a potential tenant during a property inspection.

In a resumption of the Circus Halligalli game, Ina Müller judges Joko and Klaas "May we?" after all, in a student flat share a real crib with straw, lambs, donkeys and a baby Jesus from Mett. There is Ebay classifieds karaoke with Fahri Yardim, Max Giesinger is temporarily forgotten in an armchair for a while, Sarah Connor wins - as with "Joko & Klaas against ProSieben" - in the chorus game "Suddenly Deaf". And Olli Schulz sums up the year on the basis of the video clips on his cell phone, shows vomiting dogs, rectally stressed taster fingers and comfortably bubbling pork proboscis in the mud bath - in fact, this is only the consequent continuation of abstruse annual review parades.
