French and Spanish sound sexier.

There are plenty of empty seats for him to sit in. Staged.

Mean ol' looking 'kraut! I've got quite a bit of German blood in my family line - would could be distant cousins! Though... I don't look like a kraut IMO. More English type of features.

Spanish yes, French no.

So very odd considering they share a common origin.

I used to think German was a scary language, until I realized it was just English with words spelled funny.

The exception to the rule is "paratrooper" which seems to be "Fallschirmjaeger" in the land of Hoff.

German isn't scary, its awesome. You charge at someone while screaming out something in German and that person is likely to shit themselves.

**j_factor** · 08-07-2008, 05:12 AM

Wow, nobody looks remotely like I would've thought. You're all weird looking. Except maybe Phentar.

I have heard it very often that German is an ugly or scary language....strangely I do not feel that way personally. I find it way more scary to hear some bootcamp-drill instructor in the USA shouting the shit out of the recruits. Such shouting, or the bad-ass agressive voice wrestlers like the Ultimate Warrior or Randy Savage speak in don´t work very well in German; whenever such guys are dubbed here in movies it sounds outright hilarious.
It is often said that over-acting (in whatever way, be it a cute little girl or a badass guy) does not quite work with the German language; so I would say that German is a rather boring language to listen to usually. You should hear the German versions of movies, the emotional overacting is usually toned down quite a bit....
I love David Hayter speaking super-cool Solid Snake for example....but his voice would never work in German. Same for Liquid Snake with his extremely arrogant voice.

You would be surprised if you heard German politicians. US politicians are showmen, they have a way to draw people to their words...but if you listen to our chancler it is an extremely monotone and boring way of speaking. And that is pretty much the usual way German sounds.

Hitler on the other hand was a natural talent; I have never seen a guy shouting so good in German. But: Even for a German the words he shouts are hard to understand.

A language that sounds scary to me is Danish; it has such strange throat-tones.

Maybe Emperor Hoff will bring in sweeping reforms to German-speak and render the language fun again.

The drill instructor in "Full Metal Jacket" has some of the funniest lines....100% accurate I believe.

German is a cool language, so cool my friend is learning it :P

lol, fahrt/fahren was always a source of endless hilarity in my German class...haha I'll never forget how enraged the german teacher got "IT"S NOT FUNNY!!!" just like you know who got so angry...

lol, so was duschen...taking a shower, another hilarious one...but the best part was the fact that Frau Dr. never really understood why the whole class was busting up. Oh man...goooooooooood times.

Unfortunately our drill instructors all have to be PC and they can't swear or use dirty language/innuendo anymore...which is super lame. Just keep all the wimpy and easily offended people (women) out of the military and problem solved.

**108 Stars** · 08-07-2008, 11:45 AM

Uhm...actually, I do not know who got so angry...

I guess Fahrt was funny because of the word fart....but what about duschen? What is hilarious about that one?

**Joe Redifer** · 08-07-2008, 12:21 PM

Probably because it sounds like douche which girls use to clean the stank out of their vagimajayjays. The girls are douchin'.

So they don't yell when recruits go through training in the military over where you live?

tomaitheos... are you really a marine? I see you are wearing the MARPAT pattern, but why are you wearing blackboots?!
