Yodel diploma

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jodel degree is a fictional education ( Jodeln with yodelling diploma ) consists of a sketch of Loriot . With the yodel diploma, Loriot alludes to the numerous titles from adult education centers and universities that increase the social status of graduates without this having a role in their qualifications on the job market .

Content of the Loriot sketch

The sketch with the title "Yodel School" was first broadcast on December 7, 1978 as part of the Loriot VI program on Radio Bremen (see also Christmas at Hoppenstedts ) on First German Television and plays in the Institute for Modern Yodelling , where the adult students have the correct Learn how to pronounce yodelers (for example: "Holleri du dödl di, diri diri dudl dö."). First of all, yodelling teacher Dr. Vogler ( Hans Kircher ), who teaches his students a yodel with extreme meticulousness in dictation. To a wrong answer (“Dö dudl dö”) from Ms. Hoppenstedt ( Evelyn Hamann ) the teacher replies that this is “ second future tense at sunrise”.

One participant of the course - that very woman Hoppenstedt - is interviewed after the course by reporter Viktor Schmoller (Loriot) for the “Women's Journal from Radio Bremen ”. In the conversation, Ms. Hoppenstedt justified her participation in the course by saying that, as a housewife and mother, she wanted to have the feeling of being on her own two feet when the children are out of the house. She will then have “something of her own”, her yodel diploma .

Another punch line of the sketch begins with the appearance of Mr. Hoppenstedt ( Heinz Meier ), who repeats to the reporter exactly the same phrases with which his wife justified her participation in the course and emphasized her independence.

The yodel diploma and the reasons for it are taken up again in the sketch Cossack lump of the same program; it culminates in the abuse of Frau Hoppenstedt as "yodelling snipe".
