Insane German Game Show That Never Ends (Schlag den Star)

I spent some time on stream looking for game show games on Steam. Sadly there's a dearth of North American ones, but Germany has picked up the slack. Let's check out Schlag den Star, a bizarre combination of trivia and bean bag tossing that lasts long into the night.

NL's eyes: read german
NL's mouth: tries summoning a belgian elder god

[Xzhh_]

NL winning at trivia in a language he doesn't speak was definitely one of the best segments I've ever seen on stream

Moderator: Lets get to question 6
Nl : dont trashtalk me

This is absolute god tier content that only NL can provide. This man doesn't even need to know a language to win at trivia

"I like your funny words, magic man"

me (German) to NL during the entire length of this video.

This man is a king of banter. “I dare not skip the tutorial. That’s where I do some of my best hydration.” Pogged commentary

As a little background to the gameshow:
Originally, the show was called "Schlag den Raab". Elton was not yet the host, he only appeared in one specific quiz game. Every episode, german TV star Stefan Raab would compete against normal people. Contrary to what this might make you believe, the games were far from just bean bags and geography. It could be anything, quizzes about anything, sawing a log as fast as possible, milking a cow, driving weird vehicles... The price for beating Stefan Raab was massive: 500, 000€. That's not all: when the competitor lost, the jackpot would rise. The highest jackpot somebody has won was 3, 5 million.
After a few years, Stefan Raab retired from being a TV star, only working behind the scenes from then on. That's when the show became "Schlag den Star". Instead of the same star every show, each show had a different celebrity, and the jackpot would be drastically decreased. So did the popularity of the show. Eventually, the normal person was scrapped and two celebritys started competing.

Yo, as a German, this is a highly cursed video. Poggy!

[TheShadesOfBlack]

The fact that this video is HALF the length of the shortest ever episode of Schlag Den Star blows my mind.

all the germans coming out of the woodwork in the comments LMAO

[Supercris]

I fucking lost it, 40 seconds in. My man sees the word "character" with a k and a e and doesnt know what it is.

Honestly NLs ability to read and understand German is kinda crazy. Absolutely loved it. Grüße aus Deutschland!

NL screaming “The Flag is an inversion of the Polish Flag. LETS GO!!!” gives me life!!

[worf]

Guten Tag, Nördlicherlöwe, gesegneter Eiervater.

[Dennis-zewq]

as a german that might be the weirdest combo i never knew i needed in my life.

[Cookielord]

As a german, that might just be the funniest thing i've seen all week and i'm only 5 minutes into the video.

A Bit of context what this Game-Show is. There is this german celebrity called Stephan Raab. He hosted a Late night comedy-show called TV-Total which was so damn popular that the channel gave him more and more freedom to host other events and aired repeats of his late night show every night. He started hosting the TV-Total Wok-WM, where german celebrities would slide down an icy track in a wok, the Stock-car crash-challenge, where celebreties would drive in a circle in a car and the goal would be to destroy the others cars until they couldn't drive anymore, and so on.
The most popular Special he did was "Schlag den Raab" where some guy would challenge Raab to 15 different exercises and could win at least 500, 000€. If Raab won the amount on the line at the next "Schlag den Raab" would increase by 500, 000€ and so on. Once he announced his retirement, the channel started to promote "Schlag den Star" which had the same formula as "Schlag den Raab" but was lower budget (only 50, 000€) and less popular.

Clever NL found a game where chat can't complain about him not reading instructions.
