“Blockbustaz”: From Occupation sonofabitch – ZEIT ONLINE

Even the ZDF know: intimate shaves makes you better not in the main program. There is the Internet and the special-interest channels, the institution’s library and the Innovation transmitter ZDFneo where almost anything is conceivable. For example, most recently: a comedy series with German rappers and other amateur actors over horny times in social housing. Blockbustaz is the ballad of Cologne Taugenichts Sol and his fight for the right to unemployment and the love life of his mother, who gets down around nicely for their online dates.

The best thing about this overwrought milieu plan view are still the insults. Every few seconds they fly through the rancid one-bedroom apartment of Sol and his well-meaning friend Jessica. Big sister to little sister, tenants against caretaker, baby against youth office representatives, prostitutes against other prostitutes. Sol tells his friend Hardy calmly why he, technically considered a son of a bitch is. With glückskeksverdächtigem equanimity he states: “Your mother is perhaps a Assi But at least it is your mother..”

Why ZDF is so poetic at once? That would have to ask his audience. Almost two years ago to Blockbustaz put in our own development format TVLab against the pilot of a series on Alibi mediator and a sitcom about the Grim Reaper in the life crisis. The latest attempt Young people-Keep the fun ZDF has be legitimated by the audience in advance.



Capped Sketch Parade

Better is Blockbustaz why not. Even the first episode shows that the TVLab -success can not be based on funny scripts or content ventures. Rather, he may have to do with the crowd-pulling Instrumentation: film stars the rapper Eko Fresh and Ferris MC and the millions clicked YouTube comedian Joyce Ilg. In addition a number of guest appearances, hereinafter ordered by decreasing sanity: Jürgen Drews, Frederick Lau, the street rapper Celo & amp; Abdi, Hans Sarpei, then nothing for a long and Moritz Bleibtreu.

This star-studded German grocery entertainment toddles through a disguised Sketch parade that always seems preplanned only until the next screamer. Sol dreams of a rap career, but it can be seen that most of his wrong fitting cap. However, music does not matter in Blockbustaz , but the question of whether Jessica’s breasts are large enough. Who now again Jessica was? Never mind. Character development is in Blockbustaz that someone only “spaz” says and later “Alpha Kevin”.



A surprise success would have been possible

The world is therefore not perish. Blockbustaz has its anarchic moments, a handful of frightening scenes that confront fee payers relish with his complicity. Especially in the exposure of German officialdom developed the series an unexpected love of cliché elevation: social workers, landlords, recruitment agencies and police appear as a series of trench coats, half bald and briefcases that say “Emil” when they mean “e-mail”. The rules of the block they are helpless against their Clause notes and court orders.

Could equally enthusiastic about the authors Niklas Hoffmann, Benjamin Seiler and Jakob Schreier for the actual core milieu of Blockbustaz , a surprise success would have been possible. In the United States shows the series Shameless for over six seasons that you can tell poppy and silly about messed up relationships without dealing at the expense of its protagonists. Even in the face of the greatest catastrophes preserves the adaptation of a British template pride and defiance. Shameless is therefore even touching.

In order to undertake similar flights of fancy, would Blockbustaz provide a baseline level of interest in its characters and their stories. However, the series is content with the next cheap puns. To the living conditions shown she does not care. Threads social explosive force are indeed written into the starting position, but Blockbustaz it engages not even playfully. Instead, the imagination exhausted in two treacherous assumptions: In a high-rise estate exclusively live morons. And idiots are the best cannon fodder of comedy.

“Blockbustaz” runs from Tuesday, 22 March, at 22.30 on ZDFneo and in the library.
