Stromberg or We finally got The Office

#

Started by allroy

This applies to all German tv consumers. Did anyone else watch the first episode of Stromberg on Pro7 yesterday?
I thought it was really hilarious, great show. Christph Maria Herbst plays such an asshole of a character, I love him.
(By the way, he’s appearing at the Lustspielhaus in Munich in December for two evenings together with Charlotte Roche, don’t know what they’re doing there, but it sounds like a hell of a combination.)

From the first trailer I’ve seen it reminded me of The Office, and I have to say they just adapted the plot into a German insurance company and they did it very well, way better than just missing the whole humour of the setting by dubbing the original series badly, as we Germans did so often before.

I hope I can say something as well :)

in belgium we also have a version of the office: het eiland

Just fantastic, and I can imagine that there are companies that work in this way. The VRT will broadcast the first series again, but I don’t know when. I just can’t wait to see the “protput” again :). To bad there hasn’t been a dvd out with all the shows.

cannot say if i liked it, as i didn’t watch, but heard it, while doing the dishes…and from what i was hearing in the background it was boring :o
only the one joke they used always for the advertise for the show, with that “Russenschlampen.de”…that’s still funny i think :p

Students…:rolleyes:

It’s no sitcom, the laughs arise from the sketching of the different characters you come across in your real job life as well.

Does the mentioned website really exist? Is it any good? :p

Stromberg… fairly promising start, I thought, at least by the low standards of German TV comedy. But then it’s not like they had to work hard to come up with the idea. :) It’s well-executed though, and as you say, far better than trying to localise and dub The Office (and no doubt failing miserably as usual - you pay your translators peanuts, you get monkeys…)
