Kalkofes Mattscheibe

Whom many people won't even know.

Starting as the only free show (unscrambled) on German pay TV (when Sky was still called Premiere), he was a niche Comedian, apart from his local radio appearances.

Here, he makes fun of everything and everyone that is wrong on TV, be it for torturing viewers with German folk music ("Lustige Volksmutanten") or other aspects, crazy outfits, silly or just plain crazy people. Pre-dominantly with clips from homeshopping TV and call-in shows but not limited to it.

Respect him for becoming friends with one of his "victims", Achim Mentzel - "die singende Spreewaldgurke", when they notice that they do have a similar sense of humour.

His humour on this show is possibly not for everyone, cynical or even mean, but to the point, and he had huge success working with other comedians, i.e. Oliver Welke, in the "Der Wixxer" films and creating the German version of "Little Britain"

Anyone who thinks German comedy is crap- is mostly right! But this is a wonderful parody on all the scum that comes on TV! Kalkofes is wonderful as a woman, a child, a gay man... he is hilarious in any part he plays.

Long maý he live, and continue his good work as the lone rebel against TV crap. At moments, he is funnier than "Monty Pythons Flying Circus"...and that is very hard!! Hope he rips "Sarah and Marc in Love" apart soon, and starts the fight against all the crap that rtl throws at the unsuspecting crowds. Escpecially all the crap they copy from America..

9.75 out of 10!!
