Bullyparade Merchandise – Comedy in Uniform
German television history, filmed with a wig and a wink: Bullyparade is a German sketch comedy show that ran on ProSieben from 1997 to 2002 and made Michael “Bully” Herbig, Christian Tramitz, and Rick Kavanian the country's best-known comedy trio. In their sketches, the three took apart Westerns, Sissi films, and starship series alike – laying the groundwork for box-office hits Germany hadn't seen the likes of before: “Der Schuh des Manitu” (“Manitou's Shoe”) became one of the most successful German films of all time in 2001, “(T)Raumschiff Surprise – Periode 1” followed in 2004, and in 2017 “Bullyparade – Der Film” brought the old heroes back together once more. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Bullyparade merchandise with a clear focus: dress up, stand out, quote along.
What makes Bullyparade special?
Its quotability. Anyone in Germany who drawls out an “Energie!” in a group will almost certainly get a knowing grin in return – the trio's sketches have been regulars in quote battles at parties and office kitchens for decades. Add to that the loving craftsmanship of the parodies: the starship crew of Captain Kork, Mr. Spuck, and Schrotty send up their inspiration so devotedly that even die-hard Trekkies laugh along. For costume fans, that's a stroke of luck, since few costumes deliver so much comedy for so little effort: put on the uniform, rehearse the posture, wait for the punchline. Whether at carnival, a costume party, or a convention, Bullyparade delivers entrances where the costume already tells half the joke.
