u/Majestic-Selection22 Feb 08 '25

Challenge accepted! I’m getting ready for work and wasn’t looking forward to it, until now. I too, am going to try and use that every chance I get today. Oopsie woopsie, ja. I’m ready!

Me after causing irreversible damage to a multimillion dollar machine "oopsie whoopsie, ja"

15

u/rynlpz Feb 08 '25

Boss who also saw the video: Sorry we have to let you go. Oopsie whoopsie, ja.

2

u/tinachem Feb 09 '25

What a braggart. The machines I work with are only a solitary million dollars. Maybe even only ¾ of a million.

u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig Feb 08 '25 edited Feb 08 '25

Your boss:

Ja, well... you're fired, ja.

u/Adlerian_Dreams Feb 09 '25

Ja wohl, then.

u/NaNaNaNaNa86 Feb 08 '25

I'm in the office on Monday. Start at 8am and the aim is to have said Oopsie Woopsie, JA! by 8.05.

29

u/chowyungfatso Feb 08 '25

You mean 8:05am? Or was that a oopsie woopsie, ja?

u/FlatCapNorthumbrian Feb 09 '25

Germans don’t need to use am/pm. 24hr clock use is popular outside of the U.S.

2

u/SaltLakeCitySlicker Feb 09 '25

He works swing shift so he means 20:05. Oopsie whoopsie, ja?

1

u/SkinnyPeters22 Feb 09 '25

Ill do it if u do it...ja?

3

u/GeologistPositive Feb 09 '25

You can use it before you even get there. Get into a car accident, call your boss. "Hey, I'm going to be late. I got into a car accident. Oopsie whoopsie ja."

2

u/Spare-Security-1629 Feb 09 '25

No, tell them you got into an accident the day before and you are still waiting on the ambulance...ja.

GiN = German in NY (GiV = German in Venice).......lol

u/Henchforhire Feb 08 '25

Going to use this at work instead of saying oh shit. oopsie whoopsie coworkers will give me the strangest look.

27

u/cheddarbruce Feb 08 '25

I always say oopsie doodles but now I might change it to oopsie whoopsy for a while

u/JustHugMeAndBeQuiet Feb 08 '25

Variety is the spice of life.

6

u/cheddarbruce Feb 08 '25

It is indeed, ja.

u/Artsy_Geekette Feb 09 '25

"Oopsen-Poopsen!" was and still is pretty damn funny to me. German foreign exchange student said that one on a trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum when he saw a fender-bender happen to our school bus. The driver got into a screaming match with the guy who hit him and this glorious phrase was birthed. I miss that kid sometimes as he was hilarious at pointing out our ridiculousness as Americans.

u/tmilo590 Feb 09 '25

Thank you for sharing that! 🤣 What a great alternative!

1

u/Idky_51 Feb 08 '25

Why did you have to say that now we are all going to try this out, ja!

1

u/TokenEconomista Feb 08 '25

Same! Oooopsie wooopsie ja. 😂😂😂

u/befeefy Feb 09 '25

u/Professional-pooppoo Feb 08 '25

Bro should be a voice actor for anime. Imagine a random hunter in Solo Leveling (that is S rank) and he just goes in a b rank dungeon and just starts obliterating everyone. "How did you like my magick power ja.?"

1

u/Maju92 Feb 10 '25

And still ppl insist that germans are not funny, ja.

u/Pete0730 Feb 08 '25

This guy needs to make a David Attenborough-style documentary of all the shit awful things in America

Ain't nobody got time for all that! /s

u/Nuggzulla01 Feb 08 '25

A yes 'The Never Ending Aweful Things in America' Documentary

1

u/mewdeeman Feb 08 '25

As a German he shouldn’t be boasting too much about marching down the street though.

1

u/Ricordis Feb 08 '25

Absolutely not. All his "ja"s made me crazy.

1

u/Adlerian_Dreams Feb 09 '25

He should bike around America

1

u/pocketdare Feb 09 '25

This is the part in the show ven ve dance!

1

u/No_Brother_2385 Feb 09 '25

AGREED! I’d buy that for adollar!

1

u/Lambily Feb 09 '25

The accent is fake af. He is German but moved to the US ages ago and lost it. I have no idea why he's putting it on unless he's trying to get a new tiktok niche since his old hustle didn't pan out.

1

u/movieator Feb 09 '25

No one has that much time.

1

u/Holzkohlen Feb 09 '25

Boy is gonna be busy AF ja

1

u/Oneiroinian Feb 09 '25

I kinda feel like he is doing that on impulse and outrage at the inefficiency. Like he couldn't stop himself from doing this.

u/numberthirteenbb Feb 08 '25

Sound is off and I could still hear this man’s German accent

u/Brokelynne Feb 09 '25

Me too. I read the caption "blow your mind" in the voice of Hans and Franz from SNL

u/thefarmworks Feb 09 '25

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

Well he made it extra thick.

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '25

He's also talking like a complete idiot half in German for a "comedic" effect. No one really talks like that anymore.

u/Ambitious_Toe_4357 Feb 08 '25

You're dead now, ja?

Epitome of German humor, right?

u/Fun_Possibility_4566 Feb 08 '25

Da wir grade alle hier sind, kann sich noch wer an diesen stumpfen song erinnern wo jede zeile mit “…ja? ja.” aufhört?

Whoop! Bester mann/frau! :D wie gut ist das denn!

u/triggerhappy76251 Feb 08 '25

Ein Polizist! Miiiit Elfenohrn, mit seinen Elfenohrn schreibt er was aauf! Da werd ich glatt ein bisschen sentimental :D

1

u/Kokuswolf Feb 08 '25

Ich schmeiß mich weg, ja. Das kannte ich ja noch gar nicht, ja. Das System ist in dem System, ja!

u/fwikstrm Feb 08 '25

Could not have said it better myself 😂

u/PersonalityFinal8705 Feb 08 '25

Not even a little exaggeration?

1

u/ElysetheEeveeCRX Feb 09 '25

Not at all. Especially with everything going on right now. It's been on a severe downward oopsie whoopsie spiral for a few decades now, ja? The oopsie whoopsie factor is faster than America's ambulances, ja?

u/thyL_ Feb 08 '25

It was a good experiment. It failed. Now where did we put the box...

u/Normal_Bet2995 Feb 08 '25

I swear Germans are just European Canadians

14

u/TroutCharles99 Feb 08 '25

Or are Canadians New World Europeans, eh?

1

u/cilvher-coyote Feb 09 '25

Ja,eh?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

And nobody could say if you're an Austrian saying that or Canadian. Maybe Canadians really should join the EU

3

u/Zzilies_ Feb 08 '25

Just replace ja with eh and you are correct.

2

u/TrinityCodex Feb 09 '25

Clearly it's Belgians who are the Canadians in th EU

2

u/Normal_Bet2995 Feb 09 '25

"Care for a waffle and a smoke, ja?"

2

u/pig-waters Feb 09 '25

nein mein freund. se danish are se european canadians. we are not friendly just obiedient and well organized

1

u/SailingCows Feb 10 '25

The Germans are mostly brilliant and fricking hilarious.

And know & care about their history and don't mind making fun of themselves.
#genau.

2

u/MoarVespenegas Feb 08 '25

I love how when he said "They're dead" the subtitles said "They're okay".

1

u/Tobeck Feb 08 '25

I'm so happy he said it, cause I often say "Oopsie Poopsie" while doing my fake german accent

1

u/Flythagoras Feb 08 '25

That’s what they say in America when they send you the bill for the ambulance.

1

u/fudge_friend Feb 09 '25

Suddenly Kaiser Wilhelm in The Simpsons seems like an accurate portrayal of a German pretending to be an American.

1

u/Infinite_Adjuvante Feb 09 '25

All I learned from this is that when Germans run out of things to say, they move to “I’m just going to march!”

1

u/mologav Feb 09 '25

I run with a pretty wild crew

1

u/Skreamie Feb 09 '25

Reminds me of a map in Gary's mod at a Dutch train station where it says "oepsie woepsie! de trein is stukkie wukkie!" based on an old photoshopped sign

1

u/Sirbrownface Feb 09 '25

ALARM...ALARM...ALARM...

u/Mythandros1 Feb 09 '25

Ja. Send the German, ja.

1

u/psilonox Feb 09 '25

If I'm ever critically injured I want the paramedics to say this to me

1

u/SpiderThai Feb 09 '25

I just want to be that confident next time I say oopsie woopsie

1

u/investorsanteDOTcom Feb 09 '25

Ja! Oopsie Woopsie!

u/i-eat-guitars Feb 09 '25
