Schmirinski's: Schweizerlacher (2008)

12/11/2008

Overview

Oh dear, the Schmirinskis are looking back. Can that end well? Because anyone who knows them (and who doesn't?) knows that Stefan "Schmidi" Schmidlin and René Rindlisbacher can't even agree on two sentences here. But for once, they should both agree: the almost 70-minute cross-section of a good 10 years of Schmirinski's comical work is simply the best. Take, for example, their early TV appearance in Tell-Star in 1991, which already demonstrated all the hallmarks of their multifunctional humor – slapstick, wordplay, and acrobatics that border on artistic gymnastics. Or their celebrity parodies, which don't even spare "sacred" colleagues such as Don Marcocello or Kliby. Not to mention their hair-raising sports stunts, with which the two shocked the TV audience of "Top of Switzerland."
