Bernd das Brot


One of my favorite TV shows over here is called "Bernd the Bread." It is about a talking loaf of bread who is very depressed. He is always bummed out because life is stacking up against him and also because his arms are too short.

He has 2 friends, a sheep and a bush (really) who are always making trouble. Seriously... this is a real show. I found it by accident while flipping the channels one day and I could not really believe what I saw.

The children's network goes off the air at 9pm. Instead of a test pattern, they loop a 2 minute Bernd das Brot program where Bernd is telling everyone to go to bed. "There is nothing to see here, go to bed now" "Why are you still watching?" "OK, then you can watch a bread standing and doing nothing then" It is genius.
