* Though many Germans will tell you that German can sound very nice in normal conversation or singing and is not an angry language at all, most will agree that it IS a really great language for yelling.
** German is exceptional for [[Downfall (film)|ranting]] and being a [[Large Ham]]
** Behold, the official German dub of Monty Python's famous sketch "Self-defense against fresh fruits" ... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AeN_inSgpg in German !!!] Did you know that John Cleese's German voice actor [[wikipedia:Thomas Danneberg|Thomas Danneberg]] is also the official (!!!) German dub voice of [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], [[Sylvester Stallone]], [[John Travolta
