The Germans Don't Care For 30 Rock

Dont mention the war…

LOL can't stsnd Alx and Tina

I don't blame them. The show sucks!

I want The Hoff at the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall next week! That would be so awesome! I've been looking for freeeeedom! Americans have no sense of irony.

Every american tv show in germany sucks
the germans need to learn english and watch it in english
than it's funny and good

screw the german shit

Luv 30 Rock - but agree The Hoff would do much better in Germany - The Hoff recently went to South Africa and swam with the sharks - just when others write him off he is off doing something so cool (not sure when/where it airs) - luv "The Hoff"!

We are soooo over the Hoff. Only Americans think that the Germans still think he's hot. You are a bit behind on that one.

Wow… as a German I'm actually a little bit… I don't know… maby shocked by those (stupid and false) comments. Such an amount of prejudices and ignorance… that is sad. Because when I visited your country I honestly loved it, - my brother even lived and worked there for one year. And I'd never even get the idea of thinking or saying something so negative about ALL Americans in generell just because some of them did something as stupid as voting for George W. Bush - for instance. We are so open to everything that's American - in fact it's dominating our whole culture, like music, TV and movies… We love your stuff! But I personally don't know anyone who likes David Hasselhoff. He had one hit and that was 20 years ago…

Maybe 30 Rock just didn't get enough promotion here. As a matter of fact I didn't even hear about it starting on TV. There are actually HEAPS of American TV shows which are incredibly successful on german televison. Much more than our own stuff.

And by the way, if someone tells "the Germans" to learn English: I'd be quite interested in how well this someone actually speaks and understands our or any other foreign language himself… Or how well informed he really is about our country… Because my English might not be perfect (by far!) but most of us learn english starting in elementary school and at least understand it quite well. We are not all that stupid as some of you here obviously seem to picture us…

well well, I didnt hear any promotion going on over here. And BTW Hasselhoff crashed down the wall (lol) so we probably owe you one….

You are so right on many points.
All I ask, as an American, is to believe me when I say that all of us are not so narrow-minded, nor did we all vote for George W. - - TWICE!!!
I am proud of President Obama and am always happy to hear that Europeans like and respect him.
But sadly, he is struggling here, meeting opposition at every little detail!! I'm worried that we are exhausting him in only 9 1/2 months.
Anyway, the David Hasselhoff thing in Germany is just as bad as the Jerry Lewis thing in France. So stupid. Forgive us!

30 Rock is full of jokes and references about American pop-culture and
U.S. politics.
I can certainly understand how any other country would be at a disadvantage, and BORED, with our TV shows that have so much "insider" dialogue!

Re: tussi B. – sure, because Americans speak SO MANY other languages than English. At least Germans actually put some effort in learning English when they are in an English speaking country (I am an exhange student in Australia and the German exchange students kick American ass when it comes to English grammar). Unlike Americans who I've never seen taking the effort to learn the language when they are in a non-English speaking country. They just talk louder to people who don't understand them (which is actually pretty funny). And btw I am not German, I'm Dutch (and I speak 4 languages fluently including your precious English)

good even the germans know it sucks.
the show is horrible and honestly they've been trying to ram it down our throats ever since it started. and so what is the show wins all these awards it's a show no one watches! because alec baldwin is a douche and no one wants to see tina fey "try" to be funny.

Germans are intelligent people.

Re: kat_strat – I couldn't agree more.

Perez Hitlon bitches and moans and whines and cries about gay issues and for people not to be ignorant and uneducated about stuff pertaining to them, but he's such an ignorant bastard himself.

german's don't get humor..i'm not sure if they even smile

you know u r all dumb as hell. honestly I had no idea that show would come on so why would i watch it. i dont even know what channel it was or is supposed to be on. oh wait - i looked and guess what- its on a channel that started airing the exact same day that show was on. seriously - how is anyone supposed to watch it then…so you all just shut up - seriously

Re: hehee –

And all Americans are fat, stupid and religious nutcases, right?

oops I meant 300 million, not 300,000. It's late.

"Thanks" for comments like "Germans should learn English" or "they don't have a sense of humor". Some people think they already know how Germans are although they've never been to Germany before.
First, and it was already mentioned above, "30 Rocks" is aired on a digital channel so lot of people don't have access to it.
Second, a lot of Germans DON'T like Hasselhoff, me included. Dear Perez Hilton, maybe you should refrain from silly prejudices like this one.
Third, many Germans CAN speak and understand English, especially the younger ones. Sure, it also depends on the region. In East Germany (the former GDR) the older generations have difficulties with speaking English. But usually speaking and understanding English is not a problem for us (if there are some grammatical mistakes in my text, well, I'm not a native speaker;) ).

Oh Perez, the joke about the Hoff is soooooo old and mentioned a gazillllion times.
Dont you have any other punchlines about Germans. Why not some lines about the new German Secretary of State, Guido Westerwelle who is openly GAY.

Who in the world watches pay tv? There's already enough series, movies, sports and nudity on normal tv (oh wait.. not on the prude american tv)

we actually do understand english (includign the jokes) but of course, people who never been out of their own country can judge us. Definitly.
Plus. A nation that voted Bush a second time? Started the financial crash?
Erhm yeah, I am completly offenden by you. You guys (especially perez hilton) is definitly someone who can judge over other nations.

Btw. Who the fuck is Tina Fey and why should I be interested in that show?

The TV Channel that aired 30 Rock is really new in Germany (ZDF Neo)- In fact, 1st of November was its first day.
Only few people knew about this, and lessss people knew 30 Rock was aired there.

having lived there for 5+years, it's probably because they don't promote the heck out of shows like we do here in America. Also, comedies are hard to translate. Most of our comedies don't do very well over seas. The humor doesn't come across the same way. I'm sure that if the Germans speak English (which most do), they will just watch it in English!

I love how most of the Germans who have commented on this post use better grammar than the North Americans who have commented. This is coming from a Canadian girl. We should be ashamed at our obviously lower education level to the general masses. See this first hand with Perez and his writer's grammar. They are supposed journalists. Pathetic!

Perez…you are a SCHLAMPE!

I did not hear or read anything about "30 Rock" and I don't know a single person who has "ZDF Neo" here… I never heard about that.
If they would show it on Pro7 or something I think many people would indeed watch it.

So, now go and hear your Tokio Hotel CD's, Perez.

bottom line: perez, you need to shut the fuck up sometimes.

what!?!
they showed 30 Rock on sunday!?
WTF!?! I wanna watch it.
Where do they show it??
if it's just this 'ZDF neo' ir's understandable..
like.. NO ONE has this.. we don't either…
but.. really??
Germany, dear country I live in, why must you SUCK eggs??

at least germans do know that hitler is gone and berlin isn't split anymore. germans wonder what you guys learn in history…Re: ViolaRose – THANK YOU!!
