Since his comeback, Stefan Raab has been making headlines again regularly, be it with his new show with Michael “Bully” Herbig or his current ESC ambitions. But on November 20th, Raab delivered in You Don’t Win a Million Here some jokes that went over the top.
Ageism: Stefan Raab is amused by the Golden Bachelor format
Stefan Raab went into overdrive at the start of his show: He referred to the 85th birthday of the US President Joe Biden and said that he is now old enough to take part in the Golden Bachelor. This is a format in which the bachelor is 73 years old and the candidates are of a similar age.
However, Raab himself explains the format a little differently and doesn’t hold back on the ageism:
It’s like the original, only with people who already have a taste of the afterlife. Or how should you describe that?
He does this in the old Raab style funny about the format and also involves other people like Paul Janke. But Raab is aware of himself and is already teasing what is to come:
So Age shaming checkthat’s what we did today. We’ll have fat shaming later Still on the show for them, so stay tuned.

Then Raab shoots against the former Green Party leader
But you don’t have to wait long for that, as Raab is moving quickly on his coverage of the Green party conference, particularly the farewell to Ricarda Lang as party leader. Raab was not sparing with ridicule and called her the “Maite Kelly of the Greens.”
Raab then shows a clip from Ricarda Lang in tears because of her farewell and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock wiped the table next to her. Raab then joked that the Greens have an outdated image of women because Baerbock, as a woman, is responsible for cleaning. But The body shaming didn’t take long to comewhen he said:
What did she wipe away, the gravy or what?
The laughter was restrained and Raab probably realized that he had crossed a linebut didn’t let up. Due to the fact that Lang is still holding out in the Bundestag, he says:
Does that mean it will continue to be fed by the citizens? Can you say that in this case?

On Instagram fans complain about his jokes. This is how one person writes:
Raab’s comeback shows at least one thing: not everything used to be better.
Many other Instagram users also find Raab’s concept boring, as this person writes:
Where is the promised entertainment? Raab couldn’t have meant this show.
Another user agrees and writes: “Stressful. Is there anything else coming or was that the announced show sensation from Raab?” It remains to be seen whether fans will forgive Raab for his misstep. The show’s ratings seem to have at least slowly leveled off.
