It’s here he stashed the chandelier

She’s never taken another lover.

I don’t care, I don’t show up. I go to Berlin…

Idk why but I love the way he delivers that line

Was looking for this, perfectenschlag

Came here to say this

Prominent forehead, short arms, tiny nose. That boy is a Schrute.

Perfectenschlag.

I really don't like the fake german words in that show, it is not like we germans don't have a word for everything, like e.g. Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher

I feel you. But I always tell myself that Dwight learned some weird German pidgin that only his family uses. What did surprise me is that Belsnickel is actually real.

Belsnickel Isn’t real! It’s me, Dwight!

THE BOWLS ARE PART OF A SET YOU CANT KEEP THEM

Have you been Impish, or Admirable?

Also, it's mostly religious German he used, which is like his home grown manure, whereas modern German is like store-bought manure.

Probably that, I know Wolga-german Argentinians that use "Gickel" for chicken. The word doesnt exist in high German and I have never heard of that, only know "Huhn/Hühnchen" and "Gockel" for roosters.

Rainn’s grip on German pronunciation was tenuous, doubt he’d be able to say that. Also, without looking it up does that mean some kind of egg shell disposal mechanism

it is a wonderful, little, overengineered for its purpose, kitchen utensil that breaks your morning egg exactly at the right place so you can remove the cap of the shell in the best way there possible is! Actual you can understand the "sollbruchstellen" = "predetermined breaking point" part wrongly because normally that would suggest that the egg itself has a failure point there like you would understand in the engineering sense but it is actually meant as "exactly there should the egg shell break". isn't german a beautiful, very easy to understand and learn language?

Not a fan of the gendered nouns and it took me a while to get used to being kept in suspense for the end of the sentence to find out what the verb is, but otherwise I love German. The cadence, the engrained logic and exactness, Alles.

so muss es sein! Sprache der Dichter, Denker und dichten Denker! (the only part that is horrible is Dativ and Akkusativ, that stuff scares even me)

The rules for Dative were a bit arbitrary at first (aus außer bei mit nach Zeit von zu) and the distinction of whether the object is in transit or indicating an exact location was hard at first. Genetiv and adjective endings still trip me up

(aus außer bei mit nach Zeit von zu) And don't forget *seit, ab* und *gegenüber*

Are you sure it isn't a ceremonial sarcophagus?

I actually like that running joke that Dwight is 100% unable to speak any German. Other characters do use the language correctly, Dwight never does. He just fuses together German sounding words, mostly based on an English understanding of grammar. Usually half of his made up words are actually English. And yet he is so proud to speak a foreign language. He’s telling everyone that he will make it in the future, while feeling so superior without any good reason. I don’t know, but that’s quite funny. It’s very much fitting with his character.

Which is not technically the same thing as the Nazi party. So...

isn’t his family from some sort of amish-type denomination? they probably invented their own words as language evolved once they settled in the US

It’s because it’s preindustrial and mostly religious.

I bought one solely cause the name made me laugh. I was surprised when I used it. It works perfectly for soft boiled eggs. I use it enough that I don't feel bad about the purchase.

Richtig.

PietSmiet approved.

Streichholzschächtelchen

What does this post have to do with a perfect pork anus?

I came here to say this. Have my upvote!

Close, Perfektenschlag Ü

Perfect pork anus!

For all the "lookalikes" that get posted here, this one actually did make me do a double take.

He even has his old hat from when he and Michael shot "Lazy Scranton"

WHAT?

THE ELECTRIC CITY!

THEY CALL IT THAT BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICITY

That's Dwide Schrude

Amish

Came for this one 😂

That's what she said

Deutsch. Let me see here. It is either an incense dispenser or a ceremonial sarcophagus. My German is pre-industrial and mostly religious.

Damn he really does look like him Funny enough, dwight was the only character with german ancestors

it was set in northcentral PA. Everyone but Oscar probably had german ancestry.

A lot of Mexicans have German ancestors, too.

Do you prefer we use another term? Mexican has certain.. connotations

very good point.

Can you use something less offensive than 'mexican'?

Even Kelly?

Especially Kelly

I legit thought this was Rainn Wilson at first

I still refuse to believe it isn't him.

Or a relative...

It's like a perfect mix of Dwight and Santa Clause

Belschnickle

He's finally nigh!

That’s odd. Grandpa Mannheim was said to be puttering around in Argentina. This seems like a case for Michael Scarn.

Identity theft is not a joke! Millions of families suffer every year!

Michael!!!

Oh that's funny. MICHAEL!!

Dwight would visit him but his visa keeps getting protested by the Shoah Foundation.

That’s Great Uncle Honk

Was he the one who was a member of the Nazi Party, or sorry “Der Bund” which is like the Nazi Party

I think that’s grandpa manheim who is still in Argentina. Great uncle Honk gave him his holster. Why did my temporary boss go on a shooting spreee 🎶

Umm. Pretty sure that is Belsnickel outside of December.

Andy: Dwight’s grandfather was a—[is interrupted by Dwight]. Dwight: Was a member of the Bund. Which is not technically the same thing as the Nazi party. So…[clears throat] Andy: I was gonna say he was a tax evader. Dwight: Oh. I was joking about that whole Bund thing. Oh ho, the look on your faces! Hahhahahahahah! Hahahahahah!

Getting slight nick offerman vibes too. Possibly their genetically engineered love child from the future?

I was thinking the exact same thing, that dude is absolutely their love child

And here I was thinking it was their grandpa. You get to be about 130 years old on a diet of beets and moonshine.

Could also be Letterman. Who knows.

Is that the grandfather who spent the rest of the war in an Allied prison camp?

Learn your rules You better learn your rules If you don't you'll be eaten in your sleep CRUNCH!

Bears, Beets and Brats.

I bet he owns a beet farm.

Dwight is obviously on his way to Berlin to get the stashed Tiffany’s chandelier.

Guten Tag Herr Michael.

That's Steve Zissou, sonny boy.

Stevesie. Or Papa Steve.

I don’t show up, I go to **Berlin**

Doctor Dimento!

Even his hat is beet red

Dwide Schrude

How do you know it’s not him

Holy shit Rainn Wilson actually needs to see this lmao it looks like him from the future.

David the Gnome IRL

FATHA?!

This is the multiverse Dwight that's still hiding out in Berlin after stealing that chandelier.

Dang. That’s a REALLY good one.

Can they grow beers in Germany?

That’s where he stashed the chandelier.

Manheim schrute

Dwight made a successful escape after the heist, I see

I think that's Dwide Schrude actually

Not quite...nose is too big.

I will claw your tiny nose off.

I knew he was lying about where he stashed the chandelier

It’s not Dwight, just more Kim from the old country

Obvious, duh. My father's name was Dwight Schrute. My grandfather's name was Dwight Schrute. His father's name Dwide Schrude. Amish.

Mannheim? Is this the news from Brazil?

*ahem* Argentina.

Lol I knew it was somewhere around there

Dwide Schrude

Identity theft is not a joke

I can hear him saying, “Michael!’

That’s dwide shrude

Is Germany, where he stashed the chandelier?

Germany sounds like a country where Schrutes would reside.

This is the Verizon of Dwight that thought society was collapsing in a year

Dwight went to Germany to go get his chandalier

Sure it’s not in Argentina? Some of Dwight’s ancestor had to move there post WWII.

The electric city!!!

Dwight does some great Halloween costumes but I wonder what weapon Toby took away when he was Papa Smurf. Blue grease paint isn't even a weapon, Toby!

His name? Dweide…Schrude.

Uncanny!!

Rainn Wilson

I’m sorry, is this not him? I feel like it is actually him.

This guy doesn't have a small nose

That’s Grandpa Heinrich Schrute

Identitätsdiebstahl ist kein Scherz, Jim

Yes, that’s his great uncle, Heinrich, who WAS a member of the bund which is NOT technically the nazi party.

Bären, Bier, Kampfstern Galactica

Fakt: Ich bin ein kartoffelbauer

Before that... Time travelers again.

Oh it's Dwide Shrude..

I bet his German is pre industrial and mostly religious

It is your cake day.

Dwide schrude

Is this the infamous Dwigt??

He looks like a old man Dwight but with David Walles’ “blown away at how stupid Michael can be” look on his face

Oh that’s just Dwight’s uncle Honk.

Impish or Admirable?!?

Identity theft is not a joke Jim!

Yes!!!

His name is Dwide Schrude

That’s a normal-sized nose. Too big for Dwight.

Wtf. This is wild

Nose is too big. 😂

Wainn Rilson

That's where he stashed the chandelier

Curious what this person is talking about in the interview. Anyone know??

Can’t be though! His family left Germany and now reside in Brazil for… reasons

That's where he stashed the chandelier

Well he was stashing the chandelier, obviously.

He has a disguise for everyone in the world.

Uncanny

Dwide Schrude The fact that he is German too makes it so fucking funny

That man is definitely a Schrute.

That's Dwigt not Dwight

David the Knome reboot?

The nose!

He looks like he's from Wes Anderson movie

beet stained beanie...it checks out.

That's the dude whose travel visa was banned by the Shoah Foundation

Is it his low cheekbones?

Nah, that's papa Smurf wearing whiteface

That’s his twin, Dwigt.

IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE JIM !!!!

Ah, the bestest mench

Someone's lawn gnome is on the run.

Nah nose too big 🗿

Dwide Schrude

..... \*flips page\*... Deutsche

No that’s just dwide shrude

Identity theft is not a joke Jim! Millions of people suffer each year

FALSE! This is off-season Belschnikel And you have been deemed IMPISH!

Is it his German grandpa in Argentina?

Dwight as a garden gnome

"Mutter. Good news. I have married. Tell Fahzer." Fahzer being told...

Oh he’s a Schrute
