Could you recommend any German shows that aren't about war or crime? More like sitcoms or comedies?

(German-learning anon, is that you?)

“German shows that aren’t about crime” HAHAHA good one. JK, we do have other stuff.

My favorite German sitcom would be Türkisch für Anfänger (Turkish for Beginners) which is a show from the 2000s about two families (one German, one Turkish) who move in together. Cultures clash, cliches are handled in a very funny way (like the Turkish dad is a stereotypical German at heart) and the characters are lovable (except for Axel, everyone hates him and you’ll celebrate once he’s gone). It has three seasons and a movie that was shot after the show ended and retells the story and is basically a Plane Crash AU. It has comedy, drama, good writing, good acting and one of Germany’s most popular actors (in young). Smart, very funny and highly recommendable.

If you like The Office, we do have a German version of that. It’s called Stromberg, has Christoph Maria Herbst in the lead (he’s great!) and has five seasons and a movie. I’ve only seen a few episodes but I could tell it was good. (Unlike Michael from the US version, Stromberg actually is an asshole who doesn’t just not see how his jokes are inappropriate, he actually means them. He’s a version of the character you love to hate.)

We also have a version of Grey’s Anatomy called Doctor’s Diary. It only has three seasons, though, and I haven’t seen it but people seemed to like it. But if I know German TV, I also know this show doesn’t have the same kind of drama as GA, meaning that instead of plane crashes and bombs, you have relationship drama and maybe a stolen file or corrupt doctor, I don’t know, I haven’t seen it.

(Update: I have seen it now. I didn't know it was made by the same people that made Türkisch für Anfänger. And it's hilarious and heartfelt and even though it's a lot of romance drama that deals with some clichés, it absolutely knows this at the same time. And the characters are lovable, too, even the mean nurse - because character development.)

If you like sketch shows, we have those, too. Two of the most popular ones are actually produced by and starring women, like Ladykracher with Anke Engelke and Knallerfrauen with Martina Hill (fun fact: she voices Valka in the German HTTYD dub).

Now I know you said no crime shows, but there’s one German comedy that I have to mention that happens to be about two Bavarian cops solving crimes. It’s called Hubert & Staller and it has a specific sense of humor - German, dry, a little satire here and there. The cops Hubert (whose actor, Christian Tramitz, is very well known) and Staller work in a small town in Bavaria (with a comical lot of murders, if you think about it), with no high stakes or drama or big action. They’re just going through their day, solving some puzzles, doing the bare minimum to get by. Then you have the grumpy boss, the colleague who basically serves as the intern, the nosy, smart reporter, the pathologist who one of the cops has an ongoing feud with because they were once married, the kebab stand in the middle of nowhere, the Bavarian pub... I usually watch an episode when I’m eating lunch or when I want to relax and laugh a little. You might want to turn on subs if you’re still learning German, because they do have a bit of a Bavarian dialect.

Out of these, I definitely love and recommend the first one and also the last (if the humor is for you). If you watch them, tell me what you think! :D (Most of these are on Netflix, at least in Germany. Don’t know about other places.)

Ladykracher – Religion

Ist schon ein paar Jährchen alt (nämlich von 2015), aber immer wieder zu geil. :-D

(Ein grober Patzer der Kostümbildenerin scheint mir dieses: Die „katholische Nonne“ trägt die Tracht einer evangelischen Diakonisse.)

Ladykracher: Yogakurs mit Onka

:-D

Komischerweise lacht man über so einen Quatsch am intensivsten, wenn es einem gerade dreckig geht. Habe in den letzten zweieinhalb Wochen tonnenweise dieses Anke-Engelke-Zeux geguckt.

Irgendwo habe ich mal den klugen Satz gelesen: „Im Himmel gibt es kein Lachen.“ In der Hölle wohl schon.
