Amazon Link : Olaf Schubert - So! Live - DVD

Film: Olaf Schubert, the funniest sweater of the German comedy scene and self-proclaimed do-gooder, is back! With his new program So takes the concern lyricist and federal Olaf this time so important topics such as nutrition (The monologue of Bockwurst on cardboard with a soliloquy of mustard is daily bread for most), with his song Der Apfel the important Apell Esst more fruit hurled into the audience. He takes a closer look at the crisis in Greece, coming to the revolutionary conclusion that it is up to the poor to save even more. The reasoning is of disarming logic and gives the audience not only an important insight, but also a hearty laugh. Now that's economically well thought-out comedy!

Schubert also has a solution ready for the discussion about the women's quota. Emancipation, excessive computer use and the effect of female stimuli on the male sex are also still on the program. And when there is also a song about how to throw a proper party, which includes such important tips as how to get confetti, then it becomes clear that So is not only extremely entertaining, but that it can also - like every program by Olaf Schubert - shake up all of us who are lying around on our seats without any pep in our step.

Surely, the humor of Olaf Schubert is already quite special. But given how wonderfully he plays with the German language, he simply can't be denied a very special place in the comedy field. When, for example, he describes his cooking skills by putting different ingredients into the yoke of the pan and that he does not concoct feasts but memorials, then the very special quality of Schubert's wit is revealed, which is not always equally witty, but whose word acrobatics always surprise anew and are really a lot of fun.

Who liked the previous programs or the TV show of Olaf Schubert and likes his unconventional, weird and unique style, should not miss this program of the power pollunders in any case. Absolutely recommended for fans!

Image + Sound: The DVD's image is very clean and features decent overall sharpness and coherent coloration. The stereo sound is rather unspectacular overall, but allows the voices and music to sound well intelligible and powerful from the speakers. For a small TV show like this, that's perfectly satisfactory. Good!

Extras: For fans, the DVD has quite a few additional treats to offer. It starts with two clips from the German Comedy Award. First Carolin Kebekus performs a laudatory rap for Olaf Schubert (approx. 2:21 min.), followed by Schubert's acceptance speech (approx. 1:44 min.). This is followed by an appearance on TV Total (approx. 8:48 min.), as well as three clips that Schubert recorded for Martin Rütter's Kleine Tierschau (approx. 13 min. in total). As a special bonus the DVD offers longer outtakes from OlafTV (approx. 32:52 min.), as well as a look into Bert's belly shop (approx. 7 min.). Finally, two DVD trailers are also included in the additional package. Good!

Conclusion: So is typical Olaf Schubert: weird, unconventional and mostly really funny. Schubert's very special style, to let the small and big things of our everyday life appear in a whole new light just by playing with language, makes his humor so special and unique. Not everyone may like it, but no one can deny that he occupies a very special position in the German comedy circus. The current program is again an amusing mixture of everyday observations, helpful advice on how to improve this world and meaningful songs. The DVD has to offer beside the live program also still scarcely one hour at extras and is therefore for fans of the most lyrical Pullunders of the republic an absolute must! Recommendable
