Mein neuer Freund (2005)
Extremely funny and entertaining
Christian Ulmen never had this usual direct way of being funny. Maybe he can be considered as Helge Schneider's little Brother or son. In this TV show he plays different roles. For example Ecke who consumes a lot of drugs and has got this strange visions. The show consists of the candidate, who has to spend one weekend with Christian Ulmen, who is terrorizing the candidate. They behave like a couple and have to make friends or the family believe, that this is their real boyfriend (sometimes Ulmen acts a girl or a gay, so in this cases the candidates are men) It's highly interesting to see these different freaks and the reactions of the candidates. Most of the things, Ulmen does, are improvised.
The only thing i can criticize is, that most of the episodes stick to a certain scheme, so things are repeating every episode, but the different protagonists make it as individual as they can. I really like it!
