The famous band Lasch - Interne Betrachtung
Some sort of fake-documentary about the band. The music video itself is the making of of the music video that actually doesn´t exist. The bandmembers are actors while the real musicians act to be producer, director, light operator and so on. Aesthetically abutted to the cheap docu-style as seen in MTV Cribs, Dismissed, you name it.

more german unfunny-meets-unkempt.
uh, german seen nationalistic or more linguistic?
i dunno, what would you say? is their proverbial unfunniness to do with the clunky language or is it just a deep cultural hallmark of theirs?
(yeah, yeah, generalisations are always wrong and all that...)
tell me, why do you know that the video is supposed to be funny? is there a distinct evidence? and don´t waste your time with searching for cheap jokes. focus on the global coherence of this piece, in which a video produced for music televison refers to the stopgaps invented by music televison.
but sorry, for bothering you. apparently you prefer writing superfical and cynical generalisations to thinking. but change direction, your running one way: nobody involved in this video is german.
don't want to hurt nobody's feelings poodle, i'm sure it took a fair effort to make, and you've even gone to the lengths of thinking about the stylemes of the genre. props to you for all that.
forgive my lexical imprecision: i wasn't looking for jokes. i should have said: unfun. uninteresting. it comes across as clumsy and fake (and if you really want, i could try to take the time to make you a list of what/why that is). if you'd done this whole thing with less brains and more guts, it might have become something worth watching.
global coherence? how did oscar wilde put it again? "coherence is the last refuge of the unimaginative."
allright. now we´re getting to something. clumsy and fake? thanks, mission accomplished. that´s just how the genre looks like: cheap cameras, kids acting to be natural, low budget - don´t make a list, it would be endless.
btw, a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing is what oscar wilde calls a cynic, but i guess that´s something you already know too.
pudel, mensch - oh just go and... abutt yourself
sweet.
