Munich - Whether "The Perfect Housewife", "The Lottery Winner" or "Two Men in the Bathtub": The works of the humorist Vicco von Bülow alias

Loriot

,

who died in 2011,

are still unforgettable. 

The future television director, actor and caricaturist, who began his promising career in 1950, is still today - eight years after his death - as

the

German model comedian who was able to make the Germans, often characterized as overly tense, laugh like no other after him .

Loriot makes the Germans laugh with "Christmas at Hoppenstedts"

"Comedy always arises when order is broken. When the known things turn into the wrong or into the negative. So you need order in order to be able to destroy it."

With these words the native of Brandenburg, who despite his origins from a noble Prussian officer family, always remained modest, once explained the secret of his enormous success.

Of course, every single work by the artist

Loriot

bears witness to

this motto - but because the holidays are just

around the corner,

his Christmas classic must be mentioned at this point: 

"Christmas at Hoppenstedts".

The sketch, which is still considered the prime example of Loriot's unmistakable gallows humor and therefore should not be missing in any serious film collection of a true Loriot fan, appeared for the first time as the sixth episode of the original series Loriot from 1978. Much better known, however, is the revised and um 18 minutes shortened version from

1997

, which appeared as the fourteenth episode of the television series "Loriot" and was first broadcast on July 29, 1997.

With these films you will get in the mood for Christmas

Attention spoilers!

That's what today's "Christmas at Hoppenstedts" is about

But why is the approximately 25-minute new edition of "Christmas at Hoppenstedts" considered an absolute Christmas cult today?

One of the reasons for this may be that Loriot created the picture of a quirky but lovable television family with which some Germans apparently can identify.

The fact that the Christmas preparations here are anything but smooth can already be seen in the first part of "Christmas at Hoppenstedts" - which

bears

the title "

In the toy shop

": Grandpa Hoppenstedt, who is played by none other than Loriot himself, visits a toy shop to buy a Christmas present for his grandchild Dicki - and immediately causes a lot of confusion. 

The old man cannot tell the increasingly angry saleswoman how old his offspring is and whether it is a boy or a girl.

When asked whether the child had a "corner", he replied more than angry: "My grandchild has everything it needs!" 

In the end, the completely exasperated saleswoman recommends the most gender-neutral gift that she can think of to grandpa: a toy atomic power plant that "poofs" if you make a mistake while setting it up. 

The contemplative Christmas season turns into a drinking bout

The fact that Christmas is getting closer to Christmas naturally also has an effect on the increasingly contemplative atmosphere in the Hoppenstedt home: Mother

Hoppenstedt

is visited by three representatives who want to sell their products of questionable quality during the

preparations

for the holiday. 

The colorfully mixed, seemingly harmless troop consisting of a wine seller, a vacuum cleaner and an insurance agent ultimately turns out to be a dangerously humid and cheerful mixture: The four clearly get too much of the wine, which is why the more than humbled mother Hoppenstedt the previously presented advertising slogan the vacuum cleaner salesman (“Heinzelmann sucks and blows where Mutti can only vacuum otherwise.”) completely confused and says to her husband, who eventually joins the funny group, as follows: “Heinzelmann sucks and blows where Mutti usually only sucks can blow. " 

“There used to be more tinsel” - the cult saying again today 

In the brilliant finale of "Christmas at Hoppenstedts", Loriot comes up with all the Christmas clichés that the average German should be familiar with: On Christmas Eve, Grandpa Hoppenstedt can't stop complaining, demands his presents every minute and brings the much-cited ones “Everything was better in the past!” Mentality with his a hundred times repeated and now iconic saying “

There used to be more tinsel

” perfectly to the point.

Meanwhile, the other family members are discussing the Christmas Eve process with astonishing stamina and of course throwing the planned chronology upside down at the end anyway.

After Dicki has recited the more or less original Christmas poem “Zicke Zacke Hühnerkacke”, the presents finally follow - and it happens as it had to happen: Dicki's toy atomic power plant makes “puff”, tearing a hole in the floor, in which Grandpa Hoppenstedt promptly Keeps hanging. 

When the Hoppenstedt family finally expects an avalanche of wrapping paper from the neighbors when they enter the hallway - which is remotely reminiscent of the huge load of crumpled wrapping paper in their own home - and a suddenly appearing man with a Christmas hat asks whether a Santa Claus is still needed, that's typical Loriotian Chaos Perfekt.online can either access the free ARD media library or NDR media library and call up the cult sketch whenever you want.
