The speaker, a German comedian named Mario, recounts an incident where he made a joke referencing the "fourth Reich" in response to his new agency's enthusiastic message about building an "empire." This joke, intended humorously, led to a lack of communication from the agency for two days. Mario reflects on the German stereotype of not being known for humor ("hahs") but rather for causing pain or discomfort ("ouchies"), suggesting this cultural perception might have contributed to the agency's reaction. He concludes by asking for recommendations for good agents.

Mario Adrion

So guys, I'm a German comedian and my new agency just sent me a message saying, "Hey Mario, we cannot wait to build this empire with you."

And uh, as a jokey joke, sometimes I make jokey jokes. Yeah, as a joke I said, um, fourth Reich, and I haven't heard from them in two days.

So uh, people don't get when Germans make jokey jokes. Yeah, I know. But Germans are not known for the hahas. We're known for the ouchies, but still. I mean, yeah.

Anyways, if you know any good agents,
