Kesslers Knigge (English title: Kessler's Etiquette) is a German comedy series starring Michael Kessler as himself as in the title. The first season was broadcast from June to August 2009; production for the new season has not decided yet.

Format

In each episode, Kessler shows off a lot of negative examples on etiquette, which may not be suitable in daily life situations. Each episode have three segments; as in one episode which concentrates on office, holiday or the dead. Kessler begins each segment with a satiric smile. Each segment begins with the text "10 things that you should not do if ... (as in "...you are at the travel agency")" appear. The theme tune of the series is the instrumental version of "Nur ein Wort" by Wir sind Helden.

Production

The episodes were produced in just two months in the autumn of 2008. The series is directed by Jan Markus Linhof and Joseph Orr.

gollark: it isANDROID

gollark: No, the screen isn't (very) cracked, it just won't take input (except rarely when it does a bit).

gollark: If I could unlock it to get ADB to work I could do that, but the touchscreen basically never responds to input so I can't.

gollark: Does anyone know a way I can BACKUP™ my PHONE™ without actually being able to interact with the touchscreen at all in any way?

gollark: Naturally, osmarks.tk is functioning perfectly.
