Idk why you’re getting downvoted, that was the point of the movie. The rest of the food was bullshit nobody actually wanted to eat, they just wanted to seem prestigious and fancy
“Klopf klopf” is German for knock-knock. It’s also like the sound a horse hoof makes.
“Wer ist da” is “who’s there”, the expected response to a knock knock joke.
“Pferd” is German for horse. “pfört” is a funny mispronunciation of Pferd, like “honse” in English
This is funny as an unexpected outcome to a knock knock joke (the sound was the horse hooves), because of the surprise of the horse walking through a door like a person, and because the horse is saying its name in a silly way.
Pfört also sounds a little bit like Pforte, which is an old fashioned term for door or gate, I always felt like that added another layer of whimsy because the horse is at the door
Yeah and the biiiig difference in this case is that in Dutch you'd use 'wat nu' instead of 'wat nou'. The second option isn't even all that incorrect, it just sounds impolite.

The best part is that poopensharten isnt a real word. They borrowed a joke word from an English post mocking German words knowing their German audience would be anle to recognize its meaning.
It’s not a pizza, it’s a pancake pizza. • panza: een pannenkoek die belegd is met gehakt of salami en groentes zoals champignons, taugé en paprika, daarna bestrooid met geraspte kaas en ten slotte gegratineerd. De vorm is een samentrekking van pannenkoek en pizza.[6]
estrogen commonly makes you crave sodium, and pickles are a very good source of it. it's a common joke in trans circles that transfems eat a lot of pickles due to said craving.
not even transfem, but i do crave pickles a lot. personally i just like the taste.
Translation for any one wondering

This guy spent the majority of his career moderating those fake TV quiz shows that scam old people out of their retirement money. He was even caught lying to a caller because his station didn't want to pay up.
Why the fuck was him playing video games on Twitch all it took to make him popular again?
Fun fact about Dutch: for core vocabulary it shares roughly 50% to 60% lexical overlap with English. Which means you should be able to read 50 to 60% of Dutch words if you sort of sound them out. This does not apply to spoken Dutch.
Iean this works pretty well with simple phrases between English, Dutch and German, because they're all very closely related. I doubt this would work between English and any other language.
Reminds me of when I went to the Netherlands and the train wifi was called this. I found it so ridiculously funny that I suspected there it had to be a fake one set up to trick tourists
Well, that and I get the feeling that this isn't "proper" German, and is using actual English words as slang. I'm pretty sure the non-slang way to say it in German would be something like "Ist es die Ende für Mich?" or something.
I'm willing to be wrong on that one though, because I haven't studied German for nearly a decade and I wasn't even particularly good at it back then.
German here, the proper saying would be "Ist es zu Ende für mich?" but no person under 25 talks like that anymore. Especially Gen Z and younger have A LOT and I mean A LOT of english words mixed in as slang.
This meme is always so disappointing to me because whoever made this didn't bother to conjugate poopensharten to past perfect, which kinda ruins the effect of this tweet actually having been made by a dutch person.
It would have taken them like 2 seconds to just search up conjugations.
