"Knausrig"
Kann ich bestätigen. Als ich den Standardpreis für ne Pizza gesehen habe,
ist mir der Hunger vergangen.

Of course they're going to say nice things about Germans in Basel, especially if you're asking in German. Perhaps, go to Zurich and ask someone in Zuriduutsch, they might have some different opinions. :-)

2:43 Der Typ hat so eine tolle Stimme, der sollte Synchronsprecher werden!

[markbrix]

0:48 "Was denkt ihr Schweizerinnen über Deutsche und Deutschland?"
"Ehrlich???"

Sagt schon alles 😂😂😂

Asking such a question is rarely going to result in honest answers because - A. they are being asked by a German what they think of his country, and B. they're being filmed doing so. Most people when put in that position will not want to cause offence so they give the most diplomatic answers they can. They're hardly going to say anything really negative in that position because of tact or like that boat owner- their livelihood depends on the tourist money they get from Germans.
Only in private will many people reveal their true feelings about another country and its people. This I've learned from experience.

"Ich krieg ein Kaffee" An alle Schweizer: Wir meinen das nicht böse.

Was auch noch lustig wäre: Was die Schweizer über die Schweizer denken, also ein Video über den Kantönligeist, da kommen dann ganz lustige und seltsame Vorurteile zusammen XD

Guy at 1:50 sounds to be speaking full on Schwiizerdüütsch to me :O

“Jo, i chob kei Bezug ze de Düütsche” :D :D :D so ne schöne Mundart.

"Ich hätte gerne einen Kaffee, danke." Wer sagt bitte: "Ich kriege einen Kaffee."?

Ich schätze an den Schweizern die Freundlichkeit, den Humor, die positive Ausstrahlung. Und die Liebe zu gutem Essen. Gruß aus München
