Thanks for reminding me of that. One of the best parodies I've seen so far: If you havent seen the original series, just google "giga wow". So sad Giga isnt there anymore  | ||

Maybe in the interview with hanfy the jokes were a bit on the "nerds are socially awkward idiots" side, but not too bad at all. Nice that SC2 was shown there.  | ||

"Ich gehe ja lieber Nexus first" Very Very funny. But on the sad side I learned how weird the german casting is because there are more english words then german  | ||

Also I really don't think the guy in the front's girlfriend looked angry, they were both smiling a little. If anything, I'd say they have friends who do or maybe he does but they both know they wouldn't want to be pointed out to the rest of the crowd on his show anyway. | ||

For anyone interested, it starts at 04:38: http://www.myspass.de/myspass/shows/tvshows/tv-total/TV-total-Sendung-vom-05092012--/9842/ I don't know if you can watch it outside of Germany, but well, you can try. Also, this is not PR. Not at all. It's just the typical mainstream media way of depicting "nerd culture". Look at the people in the audience, they've probably never looked beyond the rim of their teacup or shown interest in something unknown to them. Ironically enough, most of them will go home, turn on their PS3 and shout at the screen when they get killed in CoD. Holy crap, this makes me rage. | ||

(just imagine you've never seen a starcraft match, and then somebody explains you the pros and cons of nexus first against pool first openings. basically it's just gibberish nonsense. it must sound mental to "normal" people :D) but after all, it's Stefan Raab. he's a douchebag, who manages to make infinite amounts of money by shameless self-promotion and making fun of other people. the sc2 bit wasn't as terrible as some of his earlier "jokes", though. Actually, the clip reaffirmed me in my preference for english casts. Even though I'm German, the German/English mix is usually so horrible, that I REALLY rather have the whole thing in english. Edit: At least switch is truly funny parody. | ||

Yeah as German speakers listening to German commentating hurts in the ears :p | ||

And Take did a fantastic job in the beginning sounding all professional. And Naruto wasn't drunk. | ||

What he actually does is tryig to make fun of words being used in a sport he has no idea of, stating that gamers are some kids never seeing the sun and unsocial idiots. I imagine myself watching american football or baseball and I have no idea of the terms being used there. Or you can try to listen to a company's CEO, will probably be the same :D | ||

They also wanted to bring on guys like HasuObs but the idea was rejected. Raab used the usual stereotypes, but it wasn't too bad overall, I had to laugh myself a few times. Hanfy's interview was really awkward by itself so it was easy to make fun of. I like the part where Raab said "You know I might be old-fashioned, but I prefer nexus first" :D (He obviously has no idea what he is talking about.) I think as a follow-up they should get Take or so on the show...it's not unheard of on TV Total, and he's got the personality to make for a good,short-time guest | ||

Compared to that, this was like nothing at all^^. Instead, i was surprised at how moderate he was at this topic, how correct his SC2 sentences (read from the screen) were, and how he represented the whole thing. Notice the people hardly laughing at all. They only did at the end, when he made a joke about HanFy saying that he wants to quit and go to australia for a week (as in the game must be horrible), and when he made a really bad joke about saying those were the first words HanFy spoke to a human being in 8 years. Plus the joke about the korean being too busy playing instead of getting a new visa. Remember, those are people who got probably fed tons of flat jokes already to get them into the state of laughing at everything. They would have laughed for a really bad fart joke. But they basically did not laugh at all during the SC2 part, even though the german casting sounds really awkward (with more english terms than german ones). Yes, he did try to make fun of the game, instead he promoted it, did not even manage to make fun of it (and Take was superb professional ) and i think a lot of people from the audience do think better now about the game than they did before.So i'm happy for him screwing up when trying to make the game look bad P.S.: in my humble opinion, i think the guy who did the research on the topic (and there had to be one, else the host would not have been able to correctly speak a single SC2-related sentence, he would have just shown a short clip and repeated something that sounded weird because he didn't understand it. Like he did with the "Nexus first" thing, and later on the "30 Linge im Forcefield") was having a huge influence on how SC2 got actually presented pretty well, with a good explanation about the german championship and that there was a huge battle going on. If that is the case, good work dude. | ||

I mean come on. Very serious german nerds ITT. He didnt go harder on poor HanFy than he would at any awkward person on reality TV tbh. And the mixing of german and english termns in commentary does not make any sense at all to like 99% of the general, TV-watching public. | ||
