Greta Thunberg spanked Donald Trump's butt, a cow was checked for emissions by the TÜV and a pink Krampus on pumps caressed the visitors with his route. Well, everything is allowed in carnival. Especially when things are as colorful as when you move to Bichl.
Bichl - Despite predicted gusts of wind and looming rain, yesterday Sunday the Bichl people could not fail to foolishly target their neighboring communities, the Tölzers and Garmischers and even world politicians. The stormy weather even had an advantage: confetti and sweets flew even further towards the visitors, who sat on the left and right of the roadside to enjoy the political satire with sparkling wine and sausage.

Punctually at 1.33 p.m. the train set in motion - traditionally headed by a traveling giant champagne bottle, from which the entire Bichler prince guard - accompanied by drummers and a waving Maschkera flag - waved to the audience.
It started at 1.33 p.m. - led by the Bichler Carnival Guard
Then followed twelve themed wagons, six groups of feet, two music wagons and of course the Bichler Kindergarde. As every year, the fools did not run out of topics.
The Benediktbeuern monastery also caused a lot of laughs.

So the Tölzer got their fat away right from the start. The basis was the complaints about the Krampus run in Marktstrasse, which made some visitors feel too hard on the Kramperl. A Bulldog's fork held a sign: "De Doiza Krambal too wild, now TÜV is drilled on goodness". On the car scenes were re-enacted, how one softened Krampus flies through the "TÜV" after the next. The expert commented on everything in Saxon dialect. Next to it, a pink-colored, happy Krampus in high-heeled shoes ran, cheerfully waved his handbag, and giggled, stroking the audience - the crowd was raging.
National and international political issues were taken on the wrong foot
The neighboring community of Benediktbeuern also had to take it. Few were pleased that the monastery wanted to introduce parking fees. For the Bichler fools, however, it was found food. Windrows of incense came down from the monastery-decorated wagon, and the "altar servers" pushed bell bags into the crowd. No wonder, after all they also called the car: "Monastic parking lot rip off".
The topic of "Walchenseeranger" was also taken seriously. A car was full of excesses of tourists who left every good behavior at home. There were scenes to be seen, such as that of a couple having fun in public on a sun lounger or a drunk man demonstratively doing his business next to the toilet house. The car was adorned with a price list: “Price 25 euros, locals 4 euros, beautiful Fraunhofer: a”. An awkward ranger danced around.
Greta and climate policy in particular got their fat off
But not only the immediate neighbors offered a lot of material for ridicule and malice for the Bichler carnival activity. The international political arena around climate change seemed to be the father of all Bichler satire thoughts this year. So it wasn't just a car on the subject of CO2 emissions, Greta and Co.: A foot group parodies "Fridays for Future" with posters such as "I'm so mad, I even made a sign". There followed an airplane with the inscription: "The cow makes our climate better, we prefer to fly with kerosene". To top it all off, it was drowned out with the repeated cry "How dare you ?!" ("How dare you ?!"). This exclamation became the figurehead of Greta Thunberg after a speech, and no one was surprised that - at least the Bichler Greta - meanwhile spanked the American President's butt properly.
