The actress playing the assistant is also insanely talented. British actress, playing a german, playing Ivanka Trump. The american accent slipping into german ... Wow :)

[Muzikman]

A Brit doing a German doing an American.

That is amazing

It’s been 4 years and I am still watching this over and over again 😆

[Maracujakeks]

As a German I can just say that this is absolutely on point 😂😂 Hilarious!!

"You are Chancellorette, not a GIF"

I died

This will never get old! Bravo to both the ladies.

Incidentally, I read an interview with Angela Merkel today where she openly admits to being aware of her lack of a poker face and that she has given up on practicing to get one. She also talked about her frustration with the "bored" look she gets when she has a relaxed facial expression. Altogether, she seemed like a genuine, humorous person.

"You hear the voice of a teenage boy, it's Theresa May"
:)

[belumptuous]

OMG hilarious, "my powerful eye muscles flipped my body" ...how did they think that up?

[tylerkochman]

You hear a teenage boy whose voice is breaking. You realize that it is Theresa May.

[luminyam]

I love when she calls Angela the "chancellorette". These ladies are hilarious.

[xxxxxx-hxvp]

I swear to God - one of the best shows ever. The acting, make up, dialogs...Tracy Ullman is absolutely spectacular! 👏

[inettpees]

As a German myself:

This is way too accurate 😂

[cmb]

Sorry, but this is the best parody of my chancellor I've ever seen!

[sisterstina]

Who can blame her she's dealing with idiots every day haha

[StillAliveAndKicking_]

This is hilarious. The absence of a laughter track makes it seem more real and much funnier.

[harshmu]

"You're a chancellor, not a gif." - Gold!

[winonagoldenblood]

Glad that I found her. Never heard of her before. Tears of joy, need it. Brilliant.

[balb]

"you are a chancellor, not a gif" lol

[zitronentee]

I feel like that the Merkel's sketches, while parodying her, are not mocking her. Instead, her reactions about other politicians are exactly my reactions about them too. In other word : relateable.
