So What? It’s Berlin!

So What? It’s Berlin!

It’s Monday, guys and you’re just rolling out the club heading straight to work not having changed or showered in 3 days. So what? It’s Berlin!

This video series by comedian Daniel-Ryan Spaulding hilariously mocks some of the biggest cliches of our outrages Berlin lifestyle. It’s so painfully true sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh at the absurdity. Probably the funniest Berlin videos ever! But see for yourself.

If you want to see Daniel live doing stand-up in Berlin you are in luck as he is having shows all the time in Berlin in various bars over town. Also, you should subscribe to his Facebook page for upcoming shows and there’s also a line of merch with some of his most beloved catch-phrases.

We updated our story with new videos from 2019 in the very bottom of the article. Enjoy Daniel’s take on the Cologne Carnival, the Anmeldung and gentrification…

The video follows a female protagonist as she muses over the appeal of life in Berlin, and what this generation gets (or fails to get) out of it: and it’s so funny because it’s so true. The video itself is a testament to Berlin’s inclusive, pro expression expatriate community and ‘hipsters’ willingness to satirize themselves.

We think Berlin is a great city worth all the praise and we won’t listen to the haters. But they are out there, those who despise our city and like to criticize every little bit of it and the people inside it. They like to blame us Berlin bloggers for accelerating the gentrification, for bringing in “the wrong people”, for inevitable changes in the city and for the general downfall of the Western civilization. We wondered, how would their blog bookmarks look like. If all the Berlin loving blogs were doing quite the opposite, how would that look like? Check out our imaginary list of despicable Berlin blogs after the jump…
