That is incredible. I wonder how much it cost to produce that commercial.

I lived in Germany for 11 years. When Germans get bored they either:

1. Argue. They are very hot tempered.
2. Drink beer. Of course, they drink beer pretty much all the time, even on the job, legally.
3. Drive at excessive speeds on the autobahn, and irritate the slower moving traffic by flashing their high beams to let them know to get the f out of their way.
4. Go to the poof house. It's legal there. Mufti-floor "hotel" style buildings with (some) fine woman in every doorway trying to pull you in to purchase a piece.

I'm German and I resemble those remarks, except for #4 because I'm happily married.

I'm owed several minutes back. Somehow reminded of Flying Circus style of excitement.

I bought a French gun once. Never fired, only dropped once. LOL

Did I see that announcer standing directly underneath the tractor @ 7:47?

Liebherr was founded in southern Germany but became a Swiss company in 1983. Probably for tax advantages. Austria and Switzerland both have German as their "official" language.
