but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn’t use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think “they want me to die how?” it keeps getting funnier.
“This is from a Norwegian television show called “Ikke Gjør Dette Hjemme” (Don’t Try This At Home). It’s basically Mythbusters with a sprinkle of Jackass on top.

…but what question led to THIS?
The question seems to be “what happens if you mixed elephant toothpaste, gasoline, and fire together in a staircase”, which, I don’t know why you would ask that very specific question but maybe it’s a burning question in Norway.
It’s certainly a burning question.
I located the episode and the premise was that washing stairs is tedious and mops are old fashioned and shouldn’t it be much better to make a soapy foam to cleanse the stairs, except flammable so you can dry the stairs by setting the foam on fire…
In the end, as they watched flames shoot out of the chimney as the house burned down, they agreed that the experiment had turned out a bit more cataclysmic than they’d anticipated.
