| My former German flatmate (formeley my flatmate, not formerly German) told be all about this...repeatedly. I didn't really get the humour in her explanation...watching it not, I still don't get it. It just goes to prove what they say. Humour is like the Tchernobyl cloud; it doesn't cross borders. |

Apparently it does, mili is Finnish and I'm German (mili does your hubby also like it?). A Manx friend of mine also liked it ;P
Though I have to admit that it's not the sketch itself that's so well-loved here, but the mere fact that everyone knows it, quotes it, and watches it every year in late December. |

My English hubby loves it! We both liked it from the first time we saw it (purely by accident).
The popularity might have something to do with the fact that most people are drunk when watching it ;^)
According to the Wikipedia article it's popular at least in Germany, Scandinavia and Austria and held the record of most repeated programme ever until the Guinness Book of Records stopped listing that. |

A producer with O.C.D.?
I can understand it being popular, as it's a festive film and we all have some films which we watch then.
I don't get why he trips over the rug from the start, as he's supposedly getting drunk as the film goes on. |

I suppose he's just old and clumsy. I'm not a great fan of that kind of humour generally (Fawlty Towers makes me go for a stroll around the room every time, as I can't stand to watch some of it), but Dinner for One I enjoy. |
