The VfGH would have given them the best premiere gift that morning, says Florian Scheuba on Tuesday in the Rabenhof right at the beginning of the new program of “We State Artists”: The composition of the ORF’s foundation and audience council is partly unconstitutional. So the direction is right. But there is still enough to do. This is demonstrated not least by “Old Dogs – New Tricks”, with which the three of them literally got the wrong idea before the super election year of 2024.
On the HUND actually, namely on the “Humanist Union of New Democrats”. That’s what Thomas Maurer, Florian Scheuba and Robert Palfrader call their party, with which they want to get out of the eternal complaining corner and show how it’s done. Or to collect material for the next programs in the Republic’s engine room. Or to finally receive a decent salary including vacation pay, pension entitlement and paid employees.
All you need is a party color (black and white, transparent or red-white-red-small checkered?), a few good slogans (“Politics with teeth”, “Man’s best friends”, “Politics is a tough job” .. .), a few nice poster subjects (best designed by Gerhard Haderer), a few sharp campaign appearances and a decent image of the enemy. “We are not cat enemies. We are just dog lovers. We have nothing once morest properly integrated cats – as long as they attend dog school first!”
The dry training of the state artists for their appearance as a protest party can be a different story, especially when you take into account the unbroken dog sympathy in the country. If a beer party is already celebrating success, the four-legged friends should be able to get through it – this thought can come to mind when the three party leaders are designing their campaign.
Beforehand, the trio, over fine white wine, demonstrates how difficult it is for political comedians in a country where politicians are jokes and people are dissatisfied with politics. Tired Nehammer and Kickl punchlines and a Waldhäusel self-faller performed with relish are followed by doctor and waiter jokes, but it is only with the introduction to do-it-yourself party politics that the evening gains momentum. A sketch not only demonstrates the “secret” agreements between politics and the tabloids, but also offers slogans that can be used to put off voters who are waiting for long-promised legal initiatives to be implemented: “Hurry up, take time,” “The children come from hustling.” , “Anticipation is the most beautiful joy”.
The state artists demonstrate that it is not easy to improve “the intellectual footprint” (think before speaking and not immediately take everything that is in your brain as a thought), as well as the difficulties of the number one topic Climate catastrophe, funny to pack into a cabaret program. Robert Palfrader, who was bombarded with angry e-mails for his commitment to “Cabaret Artists for Future”, succeeds in this wonderfully with two stupid outbursts of anger, each time with the reference “And what regarding China?” culminate, and the trio with a homeland pop song performed following a crunching transition (from “bodenlos deppert” directly to Bodenversiegelung).
The song “Bodenlose Meanness,” recorded together with Paul Pizzera, is the absolute highlight of the evening in terms of atmosphere. Song lines like “Where the green meadow once was / the parking lot is now from Spar” were almost swayed along yesterday. In any case, the exit polls in Rabenhof following the premiere resulted in a whopping absolute majority. Colleagues like Michael Niavarani, Flüsterzweieck or Malarina, who didn’t want to go to the DOGS in nice video recordings in the National Council, should think once more when it comes to the list of ministers. It is always better to have the leash in your own hands than to be led on the leash.
