Sketch series

The episodes of Die Komiker consist of skits in Bavarian dialect . Some of these skits are recorded in front of an audience with backdrops in the BR studios, others in real locations. Folk music and musicals are often parodied.

In their episodes, the comedians also fall back on some sketch series that are or have been seen regularly:

  • Old Bavarian for beginners :
Michael Altinger, Christian Springer, Günter Grünwald, Andreas Giebel, Constanze Lindner and Monika Gruber play a small scene in Bavarian, while Eva Mähl tries desperately to translate it into High German for the audience (see also here ).
  • The security expert :
As a distracted security officer, Michael Altinger explains to TV viewers what dangerous things one should never do. It is difficult for him to form complete sentences and correctly pronounce foreign words .
  • The Kofler Horn :
Michael Altinger and Christian Springer celebrate the first ascent of the mountain "Kofler Horn" enthusiastically and in the style of old Luis Trenker films .
  • Susi is happy :
Eva Mähl plays the role of Susi, who is happy about various garbage and thus "beautifies" her apartment.
  • Sepp Rotzledschnbene :
Michael Altinger plays the role of a well-known folk musician who often approaches the audience and entertains them with meaningless and funny song lyrics.

Günter Grünwald comes into the office of his boss (played by Andreas Giebel) and really wants to tell him his opinion, but then changes his mind and runs into the wall every time he leaves.

A woman with eye-catching glasses and braces (played by Constanze Lindner) who always thinks of her fellow men, but is rarely considered by them.
  • The grandma :
Constanze Lindner plays a picture-perfect grandma who is kind, patient and easy to cuddle.
  • The politician :
Eva Mähl slips into the role of a young, dynamic politician who is ambitious but makes a fool of yourself.
  • Madame Futura :
Constanze Lindner embodies a fortune teller who predicts the future of her customers by reading cards and a crystal ball, but changes her predictions depending on the customers' cash.

  • The organs :
The comedians embody different human organs within one body that communicate with each other and do their “work” at the same time.

Old Bavarian for beginners

The sketch series Altbayerisch für Einsteiger, which was shown regularly until 2011, was so successful that a separate DVD was also produced, which only contains sketches from this series, and a book on this category was also written by Michael Altinger.

running gag

A running gag is the presentation of the program at the beginning by the imaginary meat boutique Haltmeier , the “meat boutique you trust”. A press bag with the Bavarian flag is shown in the picture. This fictitious commercial also follows at the end of each broadcast, backed by the grunt of a pig.
