Oliver Wnuk: Change of society since Stromberg and the new comedy

Berlin. The actor Oliver Wnuk reflects on the profound changes in German society after the end of the popular sitcom «Stromberg», which was broadcast from 2004 to 2012. In a recent interview with ZDF, he said that despite the change, not everything had gotten better.

social change and the "index finger culture"

wnuk describes today's social structure as characterized by a so-called "index finger culture". This means that people strongly emphasize and defend their ways of life and views, while at the same time they want to be protected from criticism by this self -staging. According to WNUK, such behavior is a sign of a increased need for security in a world that is constantly changing, especially in the digital age.

protests against comedy

Another central topic that appeals to WNUK is how to deal with humor today. He notes that when characters in “Stromberg” have satirically smiled at, it would probably be a stronger protest reaction these days. This change shows how the social norms have changed and how sensitive the audience reacts to critical humor.

The film "All not completely tight"

WNUK's current role in the comedy "All not entirely tight", which has recently been available in the ZDF media library, shows him as an antagonist: the excessive self-confident junior chief of a mail order company. According to ZDF, the comedy also deals with the challenges of modern German working life, according to ZDF. The linear broadcast on television takes place on September 26th at 8:15 p.m.

meaning of personal development

WNUK comes to the conclusion that the hectic lifestyle and the variety of options that the digital age offers may be a hurdle for personal development. He sees the need for people to protect themselves and their values, which is a challenge for comedians who want to address social issues in their appearances.

Through WNUK's perspective we get an insight into the challenges with which artists are confronted in a rapidly changing world. His commitment in the industry shows the importance of humor and satire as tools in order to address social problems, even if acceptance could be more difficult today.
